After Babata appeared, it vividly reenacted how it had once had Luo Feng invite Li Jing to join the Yunmo Star Lineage as a personal disciple, dwelling on Li Jing's hateful expression as he stubbornly refused to join.

When it finished, Babata folded its arms across its chest, its little devil's tail swishing back and forth in irritation. It floated in front of Luo Feng, eyes wide as it tried its best to look fierce.

"Luo Feng, when Li Jing refused to become a disciple, you shouldn't have given him that welcome gift.

Without the spaceship and star chart you gave him, he'd have had to come begging you for a way off Earth. Wouldn't it have been perfectly natural to make him join the Yunmo Star Lineage then?"

For all its talk about how hateful Li Jing was, Babata still hadn't given up on recruiting him into the Yunmo Star Lineage.

This was a Spirit Reader genius whose Brain Domain Width had reached 32 at Apprentice Level. If Babata managed to lure him in...

With Luo Feng, who had taken over the Golden Horned Beast's body, in one hand and Li Jing in the other, wouldn't its chances of avenging its old master Hu Yanbo soar?

"Forget it, Babata. Everyone has their own ambitions. It wouldn't be right to force him to join over something like that.

"Besides, just like you said before, if I can keep a step ahead of Li Jing, he'll naturally join Yunmo Planet of his own free will once he sees the gap between us. Why make yourself the bad guy now?"

Seeing that Babata still hadn't gotten over it after nearly ten days, Luo Feng couldn't help trying to talk it around.

Now that they understood what had happened, Hong and Thunder God nodded in agreement. "That's right, Babata. Once Li Jing realizes how cruel the universe is and how precious the Yunmo Star Lineage's inheritance is, he'll naturally come back and bow his head to you."

The two of them had followed Luo Feng into the universe, and they felt that, compared with other Earthlings, they had some understanding of its cruelty.

Councilor Level powerhouses who could summon wind and rain on Earth were, at best, thugs who guarded homes and courtyards in the wider universe. They were practically worthless.

Never mind the Yunmo Star Lineage's powerful secret techniques-even obtaining a Tier 1 secret technique used by ordinary Planetary Level fighters through one's own efforts was extremely difficult.

Li Jing had risen from an advanced trainee to Planetary Level in less than two weeks, cultivating as both a warrior and a Spirit Reader. That was enough to call him Earth's number one genius, and he led the rest by a staggering margin.

With such lofty pride, it was understandable that he didn't want to join the Yunmo Star Lineage only to rank below Luo Feng as his junior brother.

But they thought Li Jing would change his mind after reality gave him a beating.

The so-called number one genius on Earth was really nothing much in the universe.

There were powerhouses in the universe who were born at Planetary Level and reached Domain Lord Level upon adulthood, an even more outrageous showing.

Yet even Domain Lord Level powerhouses could be wiped out by the tens of thousands with a single breath from the fallen Master of Yunmo Star, Hu Yanbo.

"Hmm, you have a point. Luo Feng, after buying Earth and the planetary defense system, the Nolan Shan Family is no longer a concern.

"From now on, you'd better cultivate hard and show that brat Li Jing, who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, just how wide the gap is. I'll put together a proper cultivation plan for you."

Babata floated in front of Luo Feng and stared at him without blinking, a sly smile curling at the corner of its mouth.

Under Babata's death stare, Luo Feng nodded repeatedly.

After urging Luo Feng on, Babata immediately turned to Hong and Thunder God, its two nominal disciples.

"Although you two are warriors, you already have domains at Planetary Level, so your talents aren't bad either. From now on, I, the great demon Babata, will devote a sliver of my intelligence to giving you specialized training."

"I'll show Li Jing just how great the benefits of joining my Yunmo Star Lineage are!"

Hong and Thunder God exchanged a glance, each seeing the immense delight in the other's eyes.

Li Jing really was a good man!

If not for Li Jing, Babata would have left the two of them entirely to their own devices, tossing them a few manuals to puzzle over by themselves. How could they have received professional guidance like this?

To repay him, the next time they met Li Jing and fought him, they would go a little easier on him!

Neither of them believed that Li Jing, who was knocking about the universe on his own, could grow and improve as quickly as they could under Babata's personal guidance and training.

"Whew, I finally pulled the Intelligent Life, the limited UR from the new card pool. Let's see the Yunmo Star Lineage's Inheritance Secret Techniques."

Soul Seal: this was the Yunmo Star Lineage's core secret technique and also its most valuable.

It could fetch a certain price even in the Virtual Universe's treasure vault. It combined Soul Attack, soul defense, and Soul Enslavement. Learn it!

Void Tower: a rare soul-defense secret technique. Cultivated to its highest realm, the seven-story pagoda, it could even withstand a King Level Soul Attack head-on. Paired with Soul Seal, its defensive effect was even better. Learn it!

Ten Thousand Line Flow: a spatial-law movement technique manual that was fairly widespread among Immortals. It was said that cultivating it to the highest level could even lead to comprehension of teleportation. Learn it!

Burning Flame: a secret technique created by one of the nine Immortal Servants Hu Yanbo had enslaved. It contained a complete set of movement techniques, blade techniques, and methods for controlling mental weapons, and was divided into five levels.

Mastering the first level allowed one to reach the Sixth-Level Domain; the second, the Ninth-Level Domain.

The third level granted entry into the Fire Origin Law; the fourth brought recognition from the Fire Origin Law.

Complete mastery of the fifth level would allow one to fully comprehend the Fire Origin Law and step into immortality!

Li Jing had originally thought he could only obtain a Tier 5 fire-attribute secret technique corresponding to the World Lord level from the Yunmo Star Lineage's inheritance.

In a worse case, there would only be a Tier 4 fire-attribute secret technique.

He hadn't expected such a huge surprise.

One of Hu Yanbo's nine servants had actually achieved immortality by fully comprehending the Fire Origin Law.

Hu Yanbo had also included the Burning Flame secret technique that servant created in the Yunmo Star Lineage's inheritance.

Although Burning Flame was a secret technique created by an Ordinary Immortal, mastering it completely could still lead to full comprehension of the Fire Origin Law. That was already enough for Li Jing as he was now. He would learn this one too!

"These four secret techniques are enough for now. I won't bother looking at the rest of that miscellaneous stuff yet!"

For the next several days, Li Jing immersed himself completely in cultivation, drawing cards, and allocating points.

Whenever he ran out of Black Dragon Coins, he sold some of the treasures he had obtained from card draws, then continued drawing once he had exchanged them for Black Dragon Coins.

Three days later, Li Jing's personal panel had taken on an entirely new look.

[Name: Li Jing] [Bloodline: Earth Human (fifth class)] [Realm: Planetary Level Nine warrior/Spirit Reader] [Willpower: Star Level Nine] [Special talents: Junior Blade Technique Talent, Junior Movement Technique Talent, Intermediate Mental Weapon Talent] [Domains: Ninth-Level Domain of Fire, First-Level Wind Domain] [Law: Fire Origin Law 0.3%] [Manuals: Soul Seal: second level, Ten Hearts Realm; Void Tower: second level; Burning Flame: third level; Ten Thousand Line Flow: not yet begun] [Items: Intelligent Life (same database as Babata), Tier 3 Force Battle Suit, B9 Grade Laser Gun...]

A Ninth-Level Domain at Planetary Level, and a foot across the threshold of a Lower Origin Law-his performance was monstrous!

I've sold treasures frequently over the past few days. Even though I spread the sales across several shops, I've already attracted attention.

With my apparent realm only at Planetary Level, I've undoubtedly become a fat sheep in others' eyes. If I weren't still in Qiu Long City, someone would probably have killed me and seized my treasures by now!

Having sold another high-value treasure, Li Jing was preparing to return to the hotel and draw cards when these thoughts crossed his mind.

More and more people had set their sights on him over the past few days, including quite a few Universe Level powerhouses. The powerful backing suggested by his two Crystal Flow Guards was no longer enough to keep them in check.

The moment he left Qiu Long City, he would become prey for them to compete over.

The unused realm experience cards he had accumulated might allow him to rise to Universe Level and escape his current predicament.

But he would inevitably miss the Genius Battle, and it would also be difficult for him to afford the cost of card draws at Universe Level.

Entering an Origin Law at Planetary Level and doing so at Universe Level would earn him different degrees of attention.

Sometimes, a higher realm didn't necessarily make earning money easier.

Back to the hotel. I'll show my talent in the Virtual Universe and attract the attention of an important figure!

When that happens, mere Universe Level fighters will be nothing but ants!
