Lu Qingshan changed his identity and went to another betting institution, using the remaining 100 Hunyuan Unit to buy the first place in the Ling Yu Genius Battle.

The odds are similar to the first time, at 1:1022.

" Ling Yu, my good disciple, whether Ling Yu can become rich this time depends on you!"

Lu Qingshan has gone all out this time; it's a huge gamble.

Two hundred Hunyuan Unit, which was almost all the cash he had on him.

If Ling Yu wins first place in the Genius Battle, he will receive 204,600 Hunyuan Unit.

This amount of money is already far more than the average Immortal's net worth.

It's important to know that when Kunshaluo's Treasure Pavilion was operating normally, all its shares only amounted to 20,000 Hunyuan Unit. However, Lu Qingshan would ultimately receive one-tenth of the bonus.

As for whether he would ultimately receive the money, Lu Qingshan wasn't worried...

Those two companies are Universe Level firms, with many Immortal betting on them. Compared to those truly powerful individuals, Lu Qingshan's situation is nothing at all.

Dealing with large companies may result in lower profits, but it's safer and more reliable, and you won't encounter as many troublesome issues.

Next, Lu Qingshan kept a close eye on the news about the Genius Battle.

Both Lei Ming and Parisi were eliminated in the Trial Tower stage.

This was expected.

Even though Lei Ming had grasped the basics of the Lightning Origin Law, there were no surprises.

There are just too many geniuses in this universe.

There are 1008 Universe Country and over 1 million geniuses, nearly half of whom have entered the threshold of the Origin Law. Among so many people, only the top 7300 in points have the opportunity to enter the final arena.

It would be strange if someone out of a million geniuses could even be selected (7300)!

Throughout the entire Ganwu Universe Country, only Ling Yu performed exceptionally well in the Trial Tower phase.

She was like a dark horse that suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

It left everyone speechless.

In this segment, Ling Yu made it to the first level of the Sixth Trial Tower in one go, even more dazzling than the Phantom God Mobote, and killed more than 7,000 Blood-Haired Mammoth.

However, she was not first, but second. The one who ranked first in the Trial Tower was Dolan, who was known as the God of Fire God.

He was Spirit Reader who wielded the Fire God Weapon, one of the Nine Great Divine Weapons, giving him a significant advantage in the Trial Tower. On the first floor of the Sixth Trial Tower, he killed over eight thousand Blood-Haired Mammoth.

In the Trial Tower, Ling Yu displayed 72 Temporal Phantom for the first time, shocking countless people.

This is especially true for the people of the Ganwu Universe Country.

Angel Ling Yu's name is more famous than any celebrity, making her a household name.

If she were willing to endorse a product or become the face of a company, she would receive a sum of money that would tempt even the Immortal God.

really.

When Lu Qingshan checked the betting odds again, Ling Yu's odds had dropped from over 1:1000 to 1:2.8.

This means that, in the eyes of most people, Ling Yu has truly the potential to fight for the top spot.

Securing second place in the Trial Tower means Ling Yu has already secured her qualification for the Core Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe. As for which secret realm it will be, we'll have to wait and see in the later arena rounds.

The duel between 100 and 7300 people ended quickly. Only 900 remained in the end.

These 900 people no longer need to participate in the competition.

Based on their previous performance, the Virtual Universe Company will select the 100 most outstanding talents from these 900 geniuses to duel with the top 100 in the Trial Tower. Failure will likely result in being sent to the Apocalypse Mystic Region, while success will at least grant access to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

The final duel was still broadcast live throughout the entire Virtual Universe.

The strongest being in the Ganwu Mystic Region, Marquis Mingguang, personally sent emails to each of the Special-Class Instructor, inviting everyone to watch the final competition together.

The three Immortal were very satisfied with Ling Yu's performance and shared their joy with the other mentors.

"Brother Qingshan, you've kept this a secret for a long time! When did Prince Ling Yu first master the Time Origin Law? Why didn't you tell your older brother?"

As soon as Lu Qingshan entered, he was surrounded by a group of people, among whom Yang was the most excited.

Ling Yu is a genius of the Ganwu Mystic Region.

If Ling Yu can win first place in the Genius Battle, these secret realm mentors will also share in the honor.

"Brother Yang, it's not that I don't want to tell, but Lord Marquis Silvermoon personally issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from spreading it. I have no choice. If you don't believe me, you can ask Bai Mei..."

Lu Qingshan shifted the blame.

"Hehe, Instructor Lu wasn't lying about this; it was Marquis Silvermoon who gave the order."

Bai Mei immediately stepped forward to help vouch for them.

"So, you with thick Bai Mei and big eyes, you know about this too?"

More people surrounded Bai Mei and began asking him questions.

Bai Mei shook his head helplessly and then recounted the incident.

For example, how Lu Qingshan guided Ling Yu into the Time Law, and how he almost ruined things by obstructing her.

If this happens, it's a man-made disaster...

If it didn't happen, and Ling Yu thus entered the Time Law, then it's all just a joke.

After hearing Bai Mei's words, the group of World Lord were amazed. They never expected that Princess Ling Yu's process of entering the Time Origin Law had such a thrilling and tortuous past.

Someone cursed, "You good-for-nothing Bai Mei, you're more trouble than you're worth! If Princess Ling Yu abandons the Time Origin Law because of you and loses the chance to compete for a place in the top ten of the universe, your sin will be immense!"

"Hmph, so that's why Lord Marquis Silvermoon suddenly revoked your mentorship! Turns out you've done this kind of thing! You're just misleading students!"

Bai Mei is the most senior among the mentors, but there are many who are even more senior than him.

These people were filled with righteous indignation and pointed at Bai Mei, angrily rebuking him.

Bai Mei could only force a smile, feeling utterly helpless inside.

After all, in his version, Prince Ling Yu is a tenacious, fearless genius, and Lu Qingshan is a selfless and discerning teacher. He couldn't speak ill of Marquis Silvermoon, so he could only take all the responsibility upon himself.

It was inevitable that they would become the target of public criticism.

In the end, Lu Qingshan couldn't stand it anymore and helped out, and the others finally gave up.

"Instructor Lu, congratulations. After this, the three Immortal God will definitely value you highly."

"Professor Lu, there aren't many people I admire, but you're one of them."

"Instructor Lu, you deserve the most credit for Princess Ling Yu's breakthrough into the top ten of the universe this time."

The hall was in chaos, with many instructors surrounding Lu Qingshan, their words filled with praise and admiration.

As for Kunshaluo's previous threats, no one takes them seriously anymore.

Lu Qingshan nurtured Ling Yu, a genius who is among the top ten in the universe.

The three Immortal must value him highly, so Kunshaluo's threat is nothing.

While Kunshaluo is indeed Immortal, he is not even in the same league as the three great figures of the secret realm.

if...

There was another unrealistic thought in everyone's mind: if His Ling Yu won first place in the Genius Battle, even the great Ganwu Country Lord would probably inquire about it!

At that time, they probably wouldn't even have had the chance to curry favor with Lu Qingshan.

The chaotic scene only quieted down when the three Immortal arrived.

Marquis Silvermoon glanced at the crowd and spotted Lu Qingshan, who was surrounded by admirers.

"Professor Lu Qingshan, please have a seat here."

"Yes, Marquis Silvermoon."

Lu Qingshan stood up and walked to the seats next to the three Immortal.

Marquis Silvermoon pointed to the other two and introduced them.

"This is Marquis Mingguang."

This was the first time Lu Qingshan had met this strongest person in the Ganwu Mystic Region. Looking at the other party's glowing armor, he respectfully said, "Greetings, Marquis Mingguang."

"Indeed, a promising young talent. If Ling Yu can win first place in the Genius Battle, you will have made a tremendous contribution."

"I wouldn't dare,"

Marquis Silvermoon then pointed to another man wearing a light blue robe and said, "This is Marquis Canghai."

"Greetings, Marquis Canghai."

Lu Qingshan bowed again; this was also the first time he had met this Marquis Canghai.

" Lu Qingshan... Not bad, not bad. My disciple once mentioned you. To have reached this level in less than a century, you are truly a prodigy."

"Hehe, you probably don't know who my disciple is. His name is Sailisi. He was your opponent during your entrance exam for the Ganwu Dojo!"
