"Ancestor, you were looking for me?"

In the Virtual Universe, on the ancestral land of the Marquis Qingming family, Demon Blade looked up, somewhat confused, and asked.

How's the matter I asked you to handle going?

"Ancestor, I've been waiting here in the residential area every day, and I've finally caught up with the Luck Emperor."

His real name is Li Jing. You don't know, but Li Jing was actually personally received by the Thirteen Divine Generals.

Furthermore, upon entering the Ganwu Secret Region, he became Four-Leaf Student, and later broke through to the Star Level.

"However, Li Jing's ideas and personality are somewhat unconventional; he actually used his points to trade for money."

"Right now, many people in the Ganwu Secret Region are waiting to see Li Jing make a fool of himself. It's better if he doesn't break through to the Planetary Level, because not a single Planetary Level student in the entire secret realm can comprehend the laws."

"But he's now at the Star Level, and there are hundreds of students like him, the vast majority of whom are only at the Three-Leaf level."

"And Li Jing hasn't even started using points to improve his strength yet, leading many to speculate that his status as Four-Leaf Student won't be secure for long."

Marquis Qingming scoffed, "A foolish idea."

"Ancestor, Li Jing might just be a little confused right now," Demon Blade subconsciously defended Li Jing.

But then he saw his ancestor give him a half-smile, "I'm talking about those people in the Ganwu Secret Region who are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves."

"No matter what, Li Jing is still a super genius who comprehended the laws at the Planetary Level. As long as he doesn't perish, his future achievements will surely surpass those of your ancestor, me."

"How could such a genius be trampled underfoot by mediocre people just because he broke through to the Star Level?"

Even if they temporarily lose their status as Four-Leaf Student, they will soon be able to regain it.

"As for exchanging points for money?"

"Such geniuses can progress rapidly even without resources that can be redeemed with points."

"To put it bluntly, even if he stands still for 100 years, once he finally wakes up, every single one of these clowns in the Ganwu Secret Region will have to look up to him."

"Watching a joke? They're the joke!"

"Don't worry about what others think or believe. Just focus on building a good relationship with Li Jing. If he needs anything, lend a hand."

"If I can even get some connection with Li Jing in the future, I'll be rolling in it."

Upon hearing Marquis Qingming's explanation, Demon Blade's eyes gradually cleared.

The old ancestor is truly wise with age. If we consider Li Jing as an investment stock, isn't now the perfect time to buy at the bottom?

High!

"Ancestor, I know what to do!"

Demon Blade hurriedly logged off and left the Virtual Universe, only to find that the trial area, not far from the residential area, was unusually popular.

I haven't heard of any competitions or events being held recently.

Could it be that another World Lord Level student who has been in seclusion for a long time is going to challenge the tower?

Filled with doubt, Demon Blade inquired about the situation from others.

"I heard that the Four-Leaf Student, who was personally brought in by the Lord Thirteen, was trying to conquer the tower over there. He was spotted by someone, and a lot of people who had nothing better to do went to watch."

It's Li Jing. Did he go to challenge the Law Tower? To earn points and then exchange them for money?

No, I'll go myself and see exactly where the difference lies between me and Li Jing!

At this moment, the Demon Blade recalled the scene where it was instantly killed by Li Jing in the Virtual Universe's Killing Field Decisive Battle Space, and its Dao heart almost collapsed.

A sense of curiosity also arose in my heart.

He knew Li Jing was stronger than him, but he had no idea just how much stronger.

Li Jing's strength now seems to be about to unveil its mystery to him.

Li Jing was unaware of the commotion caused by his attempt to storm the tower.

Before he entered the Law Tower, there weren't many people in the entire trial area.

At this moment, he was on the third floor of the Fire Origin Law Tower.

He earned 100 and 200 points respectively for passing the first two levels.

He will receive 400 points after passing the third level.

The points are doubled after each level of the Trial Tower is cleared.

Li Jing couldn't miss such a great opportunity to make money.

After conquering the Fire Origin Law Tower, head to the Space Origin Law Tower for even higher rewards, and try to earn all the funds needed to draw cards from the Star Level Card Pool.

The opponent on the third floor of the Fire Origin Law Tower was a red-robed, black-faced man, Star Level Nine Spirit Reader, who used the same fourth-tier Spiritual Force weapon Blazing Prairie Shuttle, as Li Jing, except that the opponent was only at the Third-Stage Domain.

Li Jing didn't even consider fighting an opponent of this caliber; he simply used the Ten Thousand Sword Soul Seal to Soul Annihilation.

400 points earned!

Next comes the 4th and 5th floors. With each floor the Law Tower advances, the opponent's understanding of the domain deepens.

Upon reaching the 9th floor, Li Jing did not use the Ten Thousand Sword Soul Seal, but instead engaged in a brief but somewhat interesting exchange of blows.

After experiencing the red-robed, black-faced man's domain application, I controlled a small red sword that split off from the Blazing Prairie Shuttle to pierce the black-faced man's brow.

As the red-robed, black-faced man's corpse gradually disappeared in the distance, Li Jing took a deep breath.

Given that the opponents in the Law Tower become stronger with each floor you ascend, the masked man on the 10th floor should have already grasped the Fire Origin Law, right?

He hasn't yet faced other beginner-level opponents, so it's something to look forward to!

Outside the Law Tower, in the trial area, many students were watching Li Jing's tower-climbing results closely.

It was not surprising that the light representing Li Jing rose from the 1st floor to the 9th floor in one go.

If Li Jing, who has crossed the threshold of the Fire Origin Law, couldn't even pass the first nine levels, that would be a joke!

The real test begins on the 10th floor!

The guardian of the 10th level has only grasped the basics of the Origin Law.

The guardian of the 11th level has already crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, and is not even a beginner.

Hundreds of geniuses at the Star Level who had comprehended the Origin Law in the Ganwu Secret Region have all perished here.

The guardians of the 12th level have a deeper Law Comprehension, and only five people at the Star Level have managed to reach this point.

They all received the same treatment as the Four-Leaf Student, and were dubbed the Five Great Heavenly Geniuses by busybodies.

Although Li Jing comprehended the Lower Origin Law at the Planetary Level, the time since breaking through to the Star Level was too short, so his Law Comprehension must not have changed. He probably won't even be able to pass the 10th level!

He probably knows this himself, which is why he stayed on the 9th floor for so long without going up—was he afraid of failing and losing face?

If you quit early and try again next time, you might still be able to save face.

Many people thought this to themselves, but then they saw the light spot that was on the 9th floor jump up and suddenly arrive at the 10th floor.

"He... he actually went up there?" Someone's eyes widened, their expression completely out of control.

What was even more shocking was that the light spot didn't stay on the 10th floor for long before quickly jumping to the next floor.

His progress is already on par with the vast majority of established geniuses who have grasped the laws of Star Level perception.

Next, the 12th floor, comparable to the so-called Five Great Heavenly Geniuses!

The 12th floor of the Law Tower, which had trapped the Five Great Heavenly Geniuses for countless years, did not hold Li Jing for long.

Within ten minutes, the light spot flickered again, reaching the 13th floor.

"Boom!" The entire trial area exploded.

Having just broken through to the Star Level, he consecutively conquered all 12 levels of the Law Tower, surpassing even veteran Star Level geniuses who had cultivated in the Ganwu Secret Region for so many years.

What level of prodigy is this?

Surely the 13th floor should be enough to trap him, right?

Countless eyes were fixed on the point of light, only to find that it remained on the 13th floor for a long time.

It slowly but steadily jumped to the 14th floor before dimming.

It failed!

So even he can fail!

Many people's tense hearts finally relaxed for a moment, but the thought of how monstrous the guardian of the 14th floor was made it hard to feel happy again.

The guardian of the 14th level has already been recognized by the Origin Law.

Even with Law Comprehension, many ordinary World Lord can only reach this level.

If Li Jing was able to break through to this level, wouldn't that mean his Law Comprehension is comparable to that of World Lord?

A peerless genius, a peerless genius on Universe Level!

Are you trying to make fun of this kind of genius?

Stop joking, okay? They'd be too busy sucking up to him to curry favor!

Countless people began planning how to curry favor with Li Jing, hoping to elevate their own and their families' future prestige to new heights.

Among the crowd, Demon Blade's gaze was already vacant.

Although he had expected it, he never imagined that the gap between him and Li Jing would be so astonishing, like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Being able to become the background character in one of Li Jing's battles is perhaps the most boast-worthy thing he has ever done.

However, the most pressing matter right now doesn't seem to be dwelling on these things. The predatory gazes of the people around him made Demon Blade secretly groan.

The old ancestor and the cold stove he wanted to light were too monstrous; now there were too many people trying to curry favor and compete with him!
