Lu Qingshan returned to the Wind Thunder Mountain villa and found the two sisters Ling Yu and Ling Xi, chatting in the living room.
"Teacher, you're finally back! My sister is leaving in three days."
Ling Xi's eyes were red, clearly reluctant to see her sister leave.
"Three days later? That's a bit too fast."
Lu Qingshan stepped into the room and gestured for Ling Yu not to get up.
Ling Yu explained, " The Virtual Universe Company Headquarters is far from the Ganwu Continent, so we set off early to ensure that all the geniuses arrive at roughly the same time. I've come today specifically to say goodbye to my teacher."
Lu Qingshan waved his hand. "No need to be so formal. Although you will be living in the Core Secret Realm Virtual Universe Company from now on, you can come back to the Virtual Universe at any time. If you have any questions, you can still come and ask me. You can also come back to see Ling Xi often."
"Yes, sister," Ling Xi quickly replied, "We haven't been apart much over the years. You've been gone for so many years now, and we can't see each other in real life, so you must come back to visit me often in the Virtual Universe."
"Okay, Ling Xi, don't worry, your sister won't forget you." Ling Yu patted her younger sister's short blue hair, then said, "Go to the kitchen and make some dinner. I'm having dinner with the teacher today."
"Okay, sister, what would you like to eat?"
Ling Xi sat up and casually picked up an apron and hung it in front of her.
"Whatever, just make your specialty dish. We probably won't be able to eat it in real life for a long time."
Ling Yu said with a smile.
"Then I'll make more today."
After saying that, Ling Xi happily went to the kitchen.
Ling Yu watched her sister's cheerful figure, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. She then looked away and took out the unicorn from her World Ring.
"Teacher, the Genius Battle is over. This item should be returned to its rightful owner."
Lu Qingshan looked at the unicorn in Ling Yu's hand...
He simply shook his head slowly, without reaching out to take it. This thing was originally a gift he had given to Ling Yu; the so-called "borrowing" was just an excuse from back then.
Now that he's the champion of the Ling Yu Genius Battle, he can rightfully possess a treasure of this caliber without being coveted by others...
Besides, Lu Qingshan's One-Horned Ghost King Avatar already has one exactly the same on its head, so even if he wanted to observe the time runes on it, he wouldn't need the one Ling Yu has.
"Teacher..."
Seeing that Lu Qingshan didn't reach out, Ling Yu whispered a reminder.
He had just sent his younger sister Ling Xi away so he could return this treasure to their teacher. He was afraid that if his sister saw it, she might accidentally tell someone and cause trouble for the teacher...
" Ling Yu, consider this my investment in you..." Lu Qingshan continued, " The Virtual Universe Company isn't as wonderful as you imagine. Even if you go there, you still need to improve your strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, even the Primal Secret Region will only be a temporary qualification... This unicorn has greatly helped your understanding of the Time Origin Law, and I won't take it back... Repay me when you become a high-ranking member of the Virtual Universe Company."
"Teacher..."
Ling Yu was about to speak when Lu Qingshan interrupted her, saying, "Just do as I say."
"Disciple... disciple is deeply grateful for Master's great kindness, for I have no way to repay it... only..."
Ling Yu stammered, unsure of what to say next.
Ever since Teacher Lu came to the secret realm, Teacher Lu has been helping her the whole time, and she doesn't know how to repay him.
"Don't overthink it, just put it away."
Lu Qingshan offered a reminder.
Ling Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and put away the unicorn... This thing was of great help to her. Her progress after entering the Time Origin Law was basically due to comprehending the Time Law Secret Patterns from the unicorn.
" Ling Yu, are you ready to break through to the Universe Level?"
Lu Qingshan asked the question knowing the answer already.
"Teacher, I can break through at any time."
Ling Yu didn't know why her teacher said that.
Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "You can break through to the Universe Level right here. I have another gift for you later."
"What?"
Ling Yu blurted it out.
"Don't worry, it's nothing valuable. It won't be a loss for me. You'll see in a moment."
Lu Qingshan did not offer an explanation.
Ling Yu blinked, and finally followed her teacher's instructions to walk to the training ground of the villa. Just a few hours later, Ling Yu came downstairs, already exuding a Universe Level aura.
For the universe's number one genius, breaking through from the Star Level Nine to the Universe Level 1 is no more difficult than eating and drinking.
"Anyway, if you don't break through now, you'll break through on the way to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters. After that, you won't need to cultivate Origin Force anymore. You geniuses should all have a free supply of Nutrient Solution, so you can directly advance to the Universe Level 9!"
At this point, Lu Qingshan felt a pang of envy.
He has cultivated to this point step by step, relying on his own accumulation and spending a lot of money to purchase precious treasures to improve. Now he has broken through to the realm of World Lord, but he is still at the First Stage Realm Lord, and the World Lord Second Stage is still a long way off.
If he were a member of the Core Secret Realm of the Five Giants, he would probably have already reached the World Lord Ninth Stage by now, after soaking in Nutrient Solution!
"Teacher, you're very well-informed. Teacher Marquis Silvermoon told me about these things."
"Haha, having the world's number one disciple is definitely something I need to look into."
Lu Qingshan's consciousness entered the Virtual Universe, and after a moment, he said, "The gift has been sent to your email address. You can go check it out..."
Ling Yu was already curious about what the teacher was talking about as a gift, so upon hearing this, she immediately entered the Virtual Universe to check.
Qingshan
Seeing the blue arcs of light shimmering on the book cover, Ling Yu knew it was a secret manual, and she couldn't wait to open it.
It turned out to be a swordsmanship manual.
Moreover, it's a collection of 36 sword technique manuals.
Ling Yu was very surprised, wondering where her teacher had obtained so many sword technique manuals.
Until she opened the first book...
Epiphyllum!
This is...
A profound fluctuation of the fundamental Time Law swirled around him, Ling Yu was immediately captivated by this secret manual after just one glance.
That was a very fast cut.
That's too fast!
If she mastered this move during the Genius Battle, the Blood-Haired Mammoth on the first floor of the Sixth Trial Tower definitely wouldn't be able to stop her!
The Time Origin Law can actually be applied in this way?
Ling Yu possesses a special bloodline and is a genius at comprehending the Time Origin Law. She originally thought that her understanding of the Time Law, even if far inferior to her teacher, was not that far off.
But now, she realizes it's absurd, utterly absurd... All her previous understanding was merely the most superficial level.
His application of the Time Origin Law is like that of a toddler who has just learned to walk.
The " Wind Thunder Thrust," a technique imbued with the Time Law previously attached to the Wind Thunder Sword, was actually used in this way...
I only had a vague understanding before, and it was only through practicing each move with Teacher Lu that I was able to barely master it.
Now that she had seen the standard answer, Ling Yu instantly understood why the Wind Thunder Thrust, which had been improved by Teacher Lu, had a hundredfold increase in power, and why the Phantom God Mobote had an incredulous expression after being defeated by her move.
And this is merely the simplest application of a technique called the Epiphyllum Saber Technique...
The secret technique of the Epiphyllum was the first one listed in the collection of secret techniques called " Qingshan " that Teacher Lu gave him.
" Qingshan... Lu Qingshan... Teacher Lu, he..."
Ling Yu took a deep breath and forcibly pulled her consciousness out of the Virtual Universe...
Looking at Teacher Lu sitting opposite her with a smile on his face, Ling Yu felt that Teacher Lu was mysterious and unapproachable...
Did you understand even a little bit?
Lu Qingshan asked.
Ling Yu took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm as she said, "Teacher, the manuals you gave me are too profound. I only read the first sword technique manual, and I found that its application of the Time Origin Law is so skillful that it's terrifying. It's as if... as if the Time Law are just dough that you can knead at will."
"Your analogy is quite good." Lu Qingshan nodded, very satisfied with this disciple who had a high level of comprehension. He continued, "This method of applying the Time Law has a special name: analyzing the essence of the Time Origin Law!"
Lu Qingshan didn't offer much explanation, and stood up to speak.
" Ling Yu, your future path of cultivation will inevitably be based on the Time Origin Law. I will not interfere with your choice. If you choose the same path as me, this ' Qingshan ' manual will be of utmost help to you..."
Lu Qingshan chuckled.
"It may not be as valuable as other secret techniques in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury, but... all secret techniques have one reason why they can't compare to ' Qingshan.' Do you know why?"
Without hesitation, Ling Yu blurted out, "Because the teacher, the founder of this secret technique, can help Ling Yu resolve her doubts at any time."
"This child is teachable."
