"How about it? Isn't my disciple quite good?"

Virtual Universe, a dimension.

The Ganwu Country Lord held up the newly released video and boasted to the other Universe Venerable were also paying attention to this Genius Battle.

"Ganwu, this Li Jing is indeed remarkable. His willpower at the Star Level has probably already reached the World Lord Level, and he has also mastered the Ten Thousand Heart Soul Control Secret Manual. In the future, he will likely become an extremely powerful soul master who will strike fear into the hearts of Alien Race scum."

"We were wondering which old guy had trained him, but it turns out it was your disciple."

Many Universe Venerable also paid attention to Li Jing's performance in the preliminary rounds. Although he did not show much Law Comprehension, his attainments in the Soul Path were truly astonishing.

At the same level, Soul Masters are definitely the most troublesome and the most difficult to deal with.

Actions like Li Jing's, which involve directly and massively Soul Annihilation, are not something that ordinary people can pull off.

This demonstrates Li Jing's extremely strong will, which enabled him to achieve such an overwhelming victory.

For powerful individuals at their level, willpower is valued more than talent in Law Comprehension.

After all, given their strength and status, obtaining some extraordinary treasures that could improve their talent for Law Comprehension would only require paying a price, but it wouldn't be difficult.

Li Jing's talent in terms of soul and will already makes him qualified to be an investor.

Several of the venerable ones wanted to observe Li Jing's subsequent performance further.

If the student is decent, but their lineage is mediocre, then I'll step in and take them on as a disciple.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, which thwarted their plans.

"Haha, my disciple is no ordinary person. He's definitely going to take the number one spot in the entire universe in this Genius Battle!"

The Ganwu Country Lord smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? This year's Genius Battle has produced quite a few promising youngsters. Although your disciple has profound attainments in the Soul Path, he is at a disadvantage against the soulless Machine Race in the Trial Tower during the main competition, and his ranking in the Trial Tower won't be very high."

"Moreover, the quality of this year's Genius Battle is extremely high. It is estimated that each of the top ten finalists would be qualified to compete for first place in previous years."

"That little fellow named Bolan from the Noah Universe Country has an extremely profound Law Comprehension of space, surpassing many World Lords. In addition, he seems to have cultivated Soul Defense Secret Technique."

"Ganwu, if your disciple encounters Bolan, things might get complicated!"

"In terms of ultimate achievement, your disciple may be no less than, or even a step above, Bolan, but based solely on his performance in this Genius Battle, I still have higher hopes for Bolan."

"Venerable Nine Swords, what do you say?"

Seeing the arrogant attitude of the Ganwu Country Lord in the Genius Battle, Venerable Leizhou couldn't help but raise his voice, not forgetting to mention the host of this Genius Battle, Venerable Nine Swords.

Venerable Nine Swords was a newly promoted Venerable, otherwise he wouldn't have been in charge of the Genius Battle. Naturally, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the veteran Venerables, so he just laughed it off.

"I don't know either. We'll have to wait until Li Jing and Bolan actually meet in the Genius Battle to find out."

The other Universe Venerable on the field did not have the same concerns as the Venerable Nine Swords.

They also felt that Li Jing's chances against Bolan, who had an extraordinary Law Comprehension, were slim in this Genius Battle, and they all echoed Venerable Leizhou.

"Since none of you have high hopes for my disciple, why don't we take a gamble?" The Ganwu Country Lord then revealed his true intentions.

Having accumulated substantial debts to his clan and friends, he wouldn't let any opportunity to make money slip by.

Seeing that even the notorious gambler of the Human Race Ganwu Country Lord, dared to gamble so daringly, the other Venerables naturally did not back down.

"Tell me, Ganwu, how do you want to wager?"

How about one Treasure Points per person?

After a moment's consideration, the Ganwu Country Lord spoke.

Afraid of scaring people away, he didn't dare to offer too high a bet.

Moreover, everyone knew his predicament; he couldn't afford to lose even the highest bets.

After countless epochs of debt repayment, although he still had a huge amount of debt to pay off, he had managed to save up a little for his funeral.

Seeing that there was such a good opportunity to make money, the other Universe Venerable all nodded in agreement.

Only a few Universe Venerable had a good relationship with the Ganwu Country Lord and couldn't bear to see him lose everything didn't get involved.

Of course, the Venerable Nine Swords, who was in charge of this Genius Battle and whose identity was sensitive, was also not involved.

The final stakes accumulated to fifteen Treasure Points, equivalent to all the funds in the Ganwu Country Lord treasury.

Before his three consecutive deaths, the Ganwu Country Lord possessed the strength of High Universe Venerable, and with his collection of Supreme Treasure, he was on par with the Universe Overlord.

To say that you don't care about these small amounts of money at all would be a joke.

But he doesn't actually lack that much.

Now, let alone fifteen Treasure Points, even a Treasure Points is incredibly precious to him.

The thought that his secret stash of money would soon double brought a smile to the face of the Ganwu Country Lord.

The 15 Universe Venerable had just made a bet with him felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this. Had they fallen for Ganwu Laodeng's trick?

No, that's not the case. Li Jing and Bolan's performances are undeniable.

With Bolan's Law Comprehension, what difference does it make if Li Jing is hiding his strength?

Could he really defeat Bolan and win first place in the Genius Battle?

Ganwu the Qianwu must have lost his mind just like when the Primal Star fell three times in a row before; he's nothing to worry about!

"Teacher, you wanted to see me? I happen to have something to tell you too."

"This disciple has secured one of the 100 spots to directly skip the Reincarnation Battle and participate in the Genius Battle main event. The Reincarnation Battle will last for several years, and this disciple wishes to return to his hometown for a visit."

Li Jing, who had just exited the Virtual Universe, was summoned to the palace by the Ganwu Country Lord.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Jing suggested going back to Earth for a visit.

He's been away for quite a few years now. Although he has no relatives on Earth, the bonds he's built up since childhood have given him a deep affection for the planet.

Furthermore, although he has no relatives, he has many acquaintances on Earth.

Such as Instructor Jiang Nian, Wu Tong, and others, as well as the kind-hearted Luo Feng who gave him a sum of start-up funds for Earth and the Universe Review.

This trip back will be a good opportunity to meet them and give them a proper return.

Speaking of which, when he left Earth, Luo Feng even gave himself a Virtual Universe number.

However, Li Jing had cultivated the secret techniques of the Yunmo Star Lineage.

The thought that if he were to contact Luo Feng, he would inevitably be dragged into a battle in the Killing Field would be very unpleasant.

Many things would be difficult to explain at that time, so it's better not to have any friends from Luo Feng.

Currently, all secret techniques with characteristics of the Yunmo Star Lineage have been phased out and replaced with better ones, so there is naturally no need to worry about this aspect.

"Well, it's good to go back to your hometown. Just take the F9-Class Spaceship that I gave you back. However, safety on the way is not to be ignored. I took in a Soul Slave at the Peak King Rank level in my younger days, so let him accompany you."

"By the way, during the Genius Battle, as I instructed before, you should conceal the mark of the Origin Law's recognition when you are in the Virtual Universe."

The Ganwu Country Lord, noticing the flame mark and specks of silver starlight between Li Jing's eyebrows, offered a reminder.

The body in the Virtual Universe is directly generated by the Virtual Universe System, so it is natural to choose whether to retain or remove certain features.

"Understood, Master. I shall take my leave now!"

Knowing that his teacher, who was desperately poor, was probably using the opportunity of the Genius Battle to make some shady income, Li Jing didn't expose him and pretended not to know.

Once a teacher receives a benefit, how could they possibly forget about it?

I wonder who will be unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire.
