"Hong greets his teacher."
Upon hearing Myriad Laws Venerable's words, Hong immediately knelt down and became his disciple without saying a word.
Having cultivated in the Ganwu Mystic Region for five years, Hong was certainly not a clueless novice; he knew how precious this opportunity was.
He had been very envious when he heard that his third brother, Luo Feng, had been accepted as a disciple by the Myriad Laws Venerable. He never expected that such a huge surprise would fall on him.
"Yes, get up."
A force lifted Hong up.
Observing Hong's attribute panel, Lu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction before saying, "The path to becoming a strong person is fraught with thorns, and willpower is a crucial element. I can provide my disciples with many secret techniques and resources, but willpower is something they must hone themselves."
"Willpower." Hong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, seemingly wondering where his powerful willpower came from.
" Luo Feng has had some good fortune. I've been paying attention to him for a long time. At the same time, you and that Thunder God have also come into my view. I've noticed that all three of you have very strong wills! Far exceeding the level of geniuses of the same caliber in the universe. Perhaps there's something on your planet that helped you achieve these things."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Could it be those literary classics?"
Hong guessed.
As he spoke, he took out one classic text after another: the * Tao Te Ching *, the * Analects *, and the * Zhuangzi *.
"Teacher, these are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors. Do you think it's because of these that ordinary children on Earth learn this knowledge?"
Lu Qingshan glanced at them, then shook his head and said, "These things are quite good, and they do offer some help in cultivating the mind, but they don't achieve this effect—I suspect your Earth might have some special characteristics—"
Is Earth somewhat special?
Hong pondered this sentence carefully.
Over the years, since the three brothers came into contact with Yu Shen, they have brought many changes to Earth, and the overall strength of Earthling has increased immeasurably.
Hong thought of Thunder God's grandson, Luo Feng's two children, and the emerging geniuses at the Dojo of Limits, and seemed to understand something.
The proportion of Spirit Reader born on Earth seems to far exceed that of other planets in the universe.
Could it be that, as the teacher said, their home planet Earth has something special about it?
"What I'm saying is just speculation, you know it yourself—" Lu Qingshan shook his head and didn't continue the topic.
He continued, "By becoming my disciple, you can skip the selection process and go directly to the Apocalypse Mystic Region. Of course, if your progress is rapid, you can also apply to go to a higher-level secret realm. You have a strong will, but your physical aptitude is still too weak. I'll give you two choices—"
He paused.
Lu Qingshan continued, "The first option is to possess a Special Lifeform. Special Lifeform are the darlings of the Primal Universe, their compatibility with the laws is unmatched. For example, the Fire Demon Xinyan in this Genius Battle participated with the body of Special Lifeform— "
My Intelligent Life has already sent you the specific information; you can check it yourself—this is the simplest option. With your willpower and comprehension, combined with the affinity of this Special Lifeform's laws, even the top ten geniuses in this Genius Battle might not be able to progress as fast as you."
"That incomparably powerful Fire Demon Xinyan is actually Special Lifeform!"
Hong was astonished, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
This Special Lifeform, probably not human. I never expected it could participate in the Genius Battle. He quickly checked the emails in his inbox.
After a moment, Hong took a deep breath. He was shocked after learning all this information.
I never imagined that such terrifying life existed in the universe.
His unparalleled Law Comprehension far surpasses the Gene Multiplier of humans, and he barely even meets the threshold to becoming Immortal God.
Such a uniquely blessed life truly deserves to be called the darling of the Primal Universe by the teacher.
"Teacher, what's the second option?"
Hong did not make a decision immediately.
Earthling believe that their bodies and hair are gifts from their parents, and if given other choices, Hong would not want to give up his original body.
"The second option is a bit more troublesome. I have a secret technique here that can improve cultivation aptitude. It's quite difficult to cultivate and can't increase Gene Multiplier, but if you cultivate it to the later stages, your cultivation talent can even surpass that of ordinary Special Lifeform."
After speaking, Lu Qingshan quietly looked at Hong.
Two choices.
Hong has already read the introduction to the Special Lifeform. It's clear that possessing Special Lifeform is the simplest option, but it requires giving up one's own body.
The second method, though difficult, allows one to continuously improve oneself, enhance one's bloodline, and preserve one's original body.
A moment later, Hong made his choice.
"Teacher, I choose the second option."
"No regrets? The second method, although I can provide all the resources, is still quite difficult to cultivate, and the combat power will definitely not be as strong as possessing Special Lifeform!"
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"This disciple has no regrets—to be your disciple is already an immense blessing. Whatever choice I make, it will only be a bonus for me. I still wish to preserve my original body."
"Heh, you certainly know how to talk."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
Then he pointed with his finger.
Hong felt dizzy and fell into an endless illusion. His will was strong, but it also had its limits. In this illusion, he had no ability to resist.
In the outside world, only a minute passed, but in Hong's illusion, it seemed as if many years had passed.
Here he learned two secret techniques, one of which was called the " Blood Origin Scripture," which could improve his bloodline aptitude. This should be the second option his teacher mentioned.
The second secret technique is called " Qingshan's First Illusion ".
Following this secret method, he tried to construct a basic illusion and found it to be surprisingly simple.
He seemed to have transformed from a martial artist into an illusionist.
If he had learned this move in the Trial Tower, the Blood-Haired Fierce Mantis on the first floor of the fourth Trial Tower would not have been able to kill him so easily. Perhaps he could have used this move to pass through a few more floors.
In other words, his strength had increased significantly in just one minute.
Lu Qingshan's voice slowly rang out.
"You have a strong will, but your physical abilities are only average. The martial arts style most suitable for you is the Illusionary Realm Martial Arts style. Only by following this path can you maximize your advantages. This book, ' Qingshan's First Illusion,' is a basic secret technique that I created specifically for you. Study it carefully, and once you join the Virtual Universe Company, you will be able to stand out quickly with the help of this secret technique."
"Thank you, teacher, for helping your disciple Creation Secret Technique— " Hong knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully in gratitude.
This secret technique is perfect for him.
With this secret technique, he was confident that he could easily defeat Feng Lun, and even surpassing Harvey, who was ranked number one in the Ganwu Mystic Region, was not a dream.
"Go and study it at your own pace. If you have any questions, just email me."
Lu Qingshan waved his hand.
"I won't disturb the teacher."
Hong bowed before leaving the villa.
[You bestowed the secret technique " Qingshan's First Illusion: Basic Version " upon your disciple Hong, and received a thousandfold return; you also received " Qingshan's First Illusion: Advanced Version ".]
He had just bestowed upon Hong Liangmen's secret techniques. Although the return of the Blood Origin Scripture was certainly more valuable, Lu Qingshan still chose the return of the Qingshan's First Illusion.
After all, the Blood Origin Scripture had already yielded a return of ten thousand times, Xue You Clone had been researching the secret method of that return. A return of a thousand times was meaningless to him.
On the contrary, Lu Qingshan was more interested in the secret techniques of this illusionary martial arts school.
The " Qingshan's First Illusion: Basic Version " is a secret technique created by Lu Qingshan based on Soul Analysis and the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Refining Reincarnation World—a standard secret technique of the Illusionary Realm Martial Arts School. This is also the first time he has created such a secret technique.
The message has been received.
Lu Qingshan carefully studied the secret method for getting cashback.
"Not bad, not bad, as expected of the secret technique for cashing out with the golden finger, it's almost a direct descendant of the basic version I created, yet it can be cultivated up to the Peak Marquis level."
The Illusion Warrior style is extremely rare.
There are very few secret techniques.
After all, illusionists follow the path of illusionists, and martial artists follow the path of martial artists. Combining them increases the difficulty by more than a hundred times, but the strength boost is not as much as one might imagine. Very few geniuses choose this path.
Only a martial artist with an extremely strong will like Hong could perfectly fit this style.
"This secret technique isn't too difficult."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly; he easily understood the secret technique that the golden finger had manifested.
He only needs to follow this line of thought and recreate a similar secret technique to regain the secret technique, thus creating the secret technique that Hong King Rank would cultivate afterward.
As for becoming a Universe Venerable after King Rank, one must comprehend any one of the two aspects of Time-Space. The effectiveness of secret techniques will be greatly reduced. At that time, Hong will be able to create his own exclusive secret techniques.
Hong is the type of person who achieves great things late in life. The fact that he was able to become True God, and a powerful True God at that, shows that his comprehension is definitely not bad. In the future, all he needs to do is provide treasures like the Snow Demon Flower, which will be more than enough.
From the perspective of Universe Venerable, a secret technique at the Marquis Level, especially one that was an advanced version of the secret technique he himself created, was far too easy. Before long, Lu Qingshan created another secret technique with the exact same core but a different form of expression, which he named " Qingshan's First Illusion: Advanced Version "!
The basic version is enough for Hong to study for a long time, so there's no need to rush to bestow this advanced version of the secret technique. Lu Qingshan switched his perspective back to the Genius Battle.
Ninety-nine percent of the geniuses have already been eliminated, and there are still about twenty people continuing in the Trial Tower.
The Seventh Trial Tower, seventh floor.
Tens of thousands of Zerg Warrior filled the space almost instantly. The Endless sea of insects gathered together and unleashed their strongest attack on the genius with bronze skin and purple flames all over his body.
"Boom!!!"
The body of the Fire Demon Xinyan was instantly shattered.
The terrifying blow almost made the Immortal God watching the battle gasp for breath.
Many of the Immortal God leading the way even rose to their feet.
"So strong, so terrifying!"
"The power of this attack... Apart from King Mingguang, I think anyone else present, under the same conditions as Xinyan —with a weak, Star Level body and no Immortal Divine Weapon weapon to protect them—would probably die instantly!"
"This Seventh Trial Tower is terrifying! We thought the previous ones were already ridiculously difficult, but this Zerg Mother Emperor is simply unreasonable. She can unleash Soul Attack while simultaneously channeling tens of thousands of Zerg Warrior into a single, coordinated strike. Who can withstand that?"
"This Seventh Trial Tower is probably not intended for anyone to pass. Even geniuses at the Domain Lord Level of Primal Secret Region lords would likely not be able to withstand this final test!"
" Xinyan isn't dead?!"
Another exclamation rang out.
All eyes instantly refocused!
Within the turbulent energy flow that had been blasted apart, countless scattered purple Mars did not extinguish; instead, as if summoned by an invisible force, they suddenly converged inward.
Flames surged and burned fiercely. In an instant, a fire giant, more than a hundred times larger than before, reappeared amidst the Endless purple flames.
The reborn Xinyan's aura not only did not weaken, but surged to a terrifying level. His eyes swept over the surging sea of insects again, and his huge fiery hand simply clapped its hands together.
"Boom!"
A purple sea of fire erupted out of nowhere, sweeping across all directions.
Wherever it passed, the Zerg Warrior' hard carapaces melted like paper, and their mournful screech abruptly ceased.
With a single palm strike, thousands of insects at the forefront were wiped out.
The next moment, the fire giant moved.
He took a step forward, his figure leaving blurry afterimages in the space. Seemingly slow, yet strangely, he traversed the defensive line built by countless Zerg Warrior, appearing directly beside the heavily protected Zerg Mother Emperor's nest, which was constantly spawning Zerg soldiers.
Sensing a deadly threat, the Zerg Mother Emperor deep within the lair immediately summoned her minions, and all the Zerg Warrior launched a frenzied counterattack, unleashing countless beams of light.
Xinyan snorted coldly.
Thousands of Space Phantom burning with purple flames instantly appeared in various locations within the lair, completely sealing off all of the Mother Emperor's escape routes. All the Phantom Body moved in sync with his main body, raising their hands in unison, compressing the power of the Endless Flame Law to their limit in their palms.
All the Clone attacked at once!
boom!!
The Mother Emperor's lair let out a mournful cry, and then exploded with a deafening roar.
The Zerg Mother Emperor, hiding within, revealed undisguised panic and fear for the first time in her eerie and beautiful eyes, but she had nowhere to escape. The domineering purple flames completely reduced her to nothingness Ashes.
With the death of the Zerg Mother Emperor, all the remaining Zerg Warrior on the battlefield seemed to have their souls ripped out at the same time, their movements stiffening as they collapsed to the ground.
Then their bodies also burst into flames, becoming the final fuel for the sky full of purple flames.
The flames gradually subsided.
Under the gaze of countless astonished eyes, the fire giant slowly shrank, reverting to his original appearance as a bronze-skinned youth. The fire Law Mark between his brows, its light swirling, gradually disappeared beneath his skin, as if it had never appeared.
He took one last look at the empty seventh floor, took a step, and his figure disappeared from the trial plane.
Seven Trial Tower.
Cleared!
