"Mr. Qin, you must have been frightened last night."
It's the same garden as yesterday.
The Fifth Prince led Qin Ze to a martial arts training ground by the artificial lake.
Gong Shangyu had just finished playing a piece when he stood respectfully behind the Fifth Prince.
Qin Ze waved his hand. "I got out in time and wasn't affected."
The Fifth Prince sighed, "The turmoil in the empire has now spread to the capital. I hope my elder brother can resolve everything."
Qin Ze sneered inwardly.
The crocodile cries for the mouse.
If it weren't for your Equality Act...
The Maka Race wouldn't update its version so quickly.
The two arrived at the center of the training ground.
Qin Ze began to demonstrate the Fire Movement Technique in person, mainly focusing on breathing techniques and the Blue Flame Release.
These two are the most basic elements of Fire Movement Technique.
The Fifth Prince clapped after reading it once.
"Wonderful."
"Sir, your Fire Movement Technique is quite unique."
"Even compared to what the Blue Flame People are currently cultivating, there are significant differences."
"I'm very interested in this version of the Fire Movement Technique. I wonder if Mr. Qin could teach me?"
Qin Ze said calmly, "Your Highness doesn't know Fire Movement Technique?"
The Fifth Prince shook his head. "To be honest, I only returned to the palace a little over two months ago."
"Before this, I had been living among the common people, and even filling my stomach was a problem, let alone cultivating Fire Movement Technique."
Qin Ze looked at him with sympathy. "I didn't expect Your Highness to have such a difficult past."
" Fire Movement Technique originally belonged to your Maka Race; I obtained it by chance."
"It's not that I can't teach you, it's just that I still need to cultivate, and time is of the essence..."
The Fifth Prince understood.
He stretched out his hand, and Gong Shangyu behind him placed a small pouch on it.
"Of course I won't let you make your Bai Bai for nothing."
"Here are the thousand crystals I promised to give you in my previous letter."
"In addition to that, I will pay Mr. Qin an extra one hundred crystals for his daily lessons."
Qin Ze deftly took the bag and tossed it into his storage ring.
"Your Highness is too kind."
"We hit it off immediately, so isn't it only right that I teach you something?"
The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "Shall we begin now?"
Qin Ze: "Let's begin."
The two sat facing each other in the training ground.
Like the Great Sage before him, Qin Ze began teaching with breathing techniques.
"Close your eyes, concentrate, and sense your dantian..."
Qin Ze wasn't worried about the situation where his apprentice would teach him so well that he would starve to death.
What a joke! Fire Movement Technique isn't that easy to learn!
Especially since the Fifth Prince was a member of a foreign ethnic group.
Give him ten years, and he'll be lucky to even get the basics down.
Not everyone has a herd of hardworking, devoted servants.
Soon, the morning had passed.
Not even a tiny flame, the size of a candle, could condense above the Fifth Prince's head.
"Sigh~"
"Compared to this genius, even the prodigies of other races pale in comparison."
Hearing Qin Ze's inner thoughts, the Dharma King couldn't help but say, "You, a genius, are still supported by a group of buddies."
Qin Ze disagreed. "They're all the same."
What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
"Your hard work in cultivation is the same as my hard work."
The clones. "..."
The Fifth Prince opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
"It seems I have no talent for cultivation."
Qin Ze comforted him, saying, "No one is omniscient or omnipotent."
"Your Highness is already very capable in other areas."
Then, he added in his mind, "If you can learn it that fast, I'll never have earned a penny of tuition fees."
The Fifth Prince stood up. "It's getting late, let's go have lunch first."
As soon as the two left the training ground, Qin Ze suddenly saw the old man he had met yesterday standing not far away, whose gaze was fixed on him.
" The Great Sage."
The fifth prince stepped forward and bowed very politely.
The old man placed his right hand on his chest and nodded slightly as a return greeting.
Who is this?
The old man looked at Qin Ze.
The Fifth Prince introduced, "This is a friend of mine from the Human Race, Qin Ze."
"I've heard he knows Fire Movement Technique, so I've invited him here for a chat."
The old man said to Qin Ze, "Young friend, may I have a chat with you?"
Qin Ze looked at the Fifth Prince, who smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."
"This is the Great Sage of the Blue Flame Race. The Fire Movement Technique currently practiced by the Maka Race was modified by the Great Sage. I imagine the two of you will have much in common."
"Mr. Qin, I'll be waiting for you in the banquet hall."
After saying this, the Fifth Prince left with Gong Shangyu.
Qin Ze followed the Great Sage to a pavilion by the artificial lake.
Upon seeing that familiar face again, Qin Ze finally remembered who it was.
Feather.
The most prized student of the Great Sage in those days.
He is also the young man who has mastered the improved version of the Fire Movement Technique the fastest.
Now, he has grown into Great Sage.
"Your Fire Movement Technique..."
Qin Ze gazed at the distant lake. " The Great Sage taught me this."
Thousand Faces said disdainfully, "Have you no shame at all?"
When did the Great Sage teach you that?
"Just admit you learned it by stealing."
Qin Ze remained unfazed.
Stealing knowledge?
That's called inheritance.
Ling paused for a moment, then asked, " Image Recording Stone?"
Qin Ze nodded.
Ling suddenly became excited. "So you've been to that world? Then now..."
Qin Ze replied, " Annihilation."
Ling's eyes were downcast, her expression one of utter dejection. "I see..."
Although he already knew the outcome, he still found it hard to accept the answer from the eyewitnesses.
" Fire Movement Technique is tailor-made for the Blue Flame People."
"I have never seen a non-human being who has mastered Fire Movement Technique to this extent."
Ling couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Ze: "I have agreed to the promise made to that lingering will of your world."
"If it's within our capabilities, I'll do you a favor."
Ling remained silent for a long time.
"Leave."
A series of question marks appeared above Qin Ze's head, "Huh?"
The Great Sage gently waved his right hand.
A semi-transparent barrier rose from each of the four sides, forming an isolation array.
"The Fifth Prince is not the real Fifth Prince."
"His reason for summoning you wasn't just about Fire Movement Technique."
"Let's leave quickly before the situation in the empire completely spirals out of control."
Qin Ze frowned. "Since you know the Fifth Prince is an imposter, why don't you expose him?"
The Great Sage put his hands behind his back and said, "Who cares whether he's true or false?"
"Now that everyone has achieved their goals, whether it's true or false is no longer important."
"Foreign tribes have finally gained the opportunity to rise up after hundreds of years."
" The Maka Race now has a legitimate reason to annihilate all other tribes."
"As for us Blue Flame People, we also want to take advantage of this turmoil to seize control of the World Will of the Maka Race."
Qin Ze's eyes widened.
You can do that?
Seemingly sensing Qin Ze's confusion, Ling explained, "When the number of the Dominator race in a world decreases to a certain level, the World Will will choose a new successor."
After a long silence, Qin Ze finally asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time.
"Why have so many years passed?"
"Has your world yet failed to give birth to a new World Will?"
"Is it that you don't want to?"
