Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 33 Marquis Silver Moon

A distant cosmic expanse far from the Qianwu Continent.

An F-class spaceship is speeding through the dark universe at more than ten times the speed of light.

When Lingyu regained consciousness, she saw that her teacher had finished his cultivation.

Her teacher was the Silver Moon Marquis, one of the three immortal powerhouses who guarded the Qianwu Secret Realm.

He is one of the three hundred kings and marquises under the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, possessing the strength of a high-level immortal military lord.

Her face seemed to be half-covered by a layer of purple mist as thin as a cicada's wing, obscuring her stunning beauty. Her pair of pitch-black pupils, like collapsing black holes, could not conceal her astonishing aura.

"Lingyu, do you know why your training was suddenly ended this time, and you were taken back to the Qianwu Secret Realm?"

Marquis Yinyue parted her lips slightly, her voice as ethereal and melodious as a wind chime.

"Master, this disciple does not know."

Lingyu stood respectfully to the side.

"I only recently received the news that the once-in-five-thousand-years battle of geniuses will begin in twenty years. This is a very important opportunity for you, so I must bring you back to the secret realm to give you my careful guidance."

"Battle of Geniuses"

A glint flashed in Ling Yu's eyes, indicating that she was aware of this news.

"Yes, that's a once-in-five-thousand-years celebration in the entire universe, and also the best opportunity for stellar geniuses to enter top-tier forces."

Yin Yuehou spoke slowly and calmly: "This time, the Genius Battle is being hosted by the Virtual Universe Company. With your strength, and after twenty years of my training, you have a great chance to qualify for the top 1,000 in the entire universe."

"Once you make it into the top 1,000, you can join the core secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company, become a genius of the Virtual Universe Company, and receive better training than in the Qianwu Secret Realm."

"This is your chance... If you can enter the top 1,000 in the entire universe, it will benefit both your master and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. In the last few decades, our Qianwu Universe Kingdom's performance has been far from ideal, which has greatly displeased the great Qianwu King..."

"Among the 1008 cosmic nations in the entire universe, the Qianwu Universe ranks in the middle in terms of territory, which is not bad. Our great ruler attaches more importance to the cultivation of geniuses than other cosmic nations. The Qianwu Dojo has been established in almost every corner of the universe. However, after so many years, the ruler's efforts have not yielded satisfactory results... Lingyu..."

She paused.

"You are the most talented student I have ever seen. If you weren't so young, you might even be able to break into the top 100 in the entire universe. If you could master the fundamental laws of time... you might even be able to enter the top 10 in the entire universe... It's a pity... If the Genius Battle had been held a few hundred years later, the great king would surely have been pleased."

"This time, my requirement for you is to be in the top 1,000 in the entire universe. Before the Genius Battle, I will do my best to train you. You can make any requests you have."

"Teacher." Lingyu bowed respectfully. "If it weren't for Teacher saving Lingyu and my sister back then, where would Lingyu be today? In the Genius Battle, Lingyu will do her utmost to strive for a good result for the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and live up to Teacher's expectations. Lingyu has no requests... Lingyu... just wants to ask for a teacher..."

"Oh, so you've taken a fancy to which mentor in the secret realm? Don't worry, once we return to the secret realm, I'll arrange it for you, no matter which mentor you need..."

Silver Moon Marquis would certainly not refuse such a small request from her disciple. As an immortal deity and one of the three immortals of the Qianwu Secret Realm, she had high authority and could freely mobilize any special-grade instructor within the secret realm.

Lingyu knew her teacher had misunderstood. She paused for a moment and said, "I don't want to invite a top-tier instructor from the secret realm, but rather a first-tier instructor from the Qianwu Dojo headquarters..."

"A first-class tutor? You're not kidding, are you?" Marquis Yinyue frowned slightly, his tone tinged with displeasure.

His own disciple actually requested a first-class instructor for guidance? Isn't that a joke?
First-class tutor?
That's just the Domain Lord realm, at most he's comprehended some shallow lower-level laws, and his law comprehension might not even be as high as his disciple's. What qualifications does he have to guide his disciple? "Teacher..." Ling Yu quickly explained, "The first-class mentor I invited is named Lu Qingshan. He comprehends the fundamental laws of lightning just like his disciple. His understanding of the laws is very profound, and he has a very unique way of educating students... My sister Ling Xi's domain problem has been almost completely resolved after his guidance."

"So what if he has some skills? He's still just a first-class instructor..." Marquis Yinyue's expression softened slightly, and he quickly pulled up Lu Qingshan's information.

"what."

After reviewing the information, she let out a soft "hmm".

"This Lu Qingshan does have some skill in educating disciples, and his understanding of the Lightning Law is also decent. But after all, he's only a first-class instructor. He's fine guiding the elite students of the dojo, but it's uncertain whether he can guide you. Since you've chosen him, then let him be your instructor for a period of time. However, I will also assign you a special-grade instructor..."

"is teacher."

Lingyu dared not have any objections.

……

The headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo, the manor of a first-class instructor.

Lu Qingshan leisurely savored the delicious food while comprehending the power of the fundamental laws of lightning in the world.

At this moment, the transformation of his body by the Thunder Source Crystal was basically complete...

The affinity for the fundamental laws of lightning has increased nearly twentyfold compared to before.

In other words, his current year of comprehending the laws is at least equivalent to his previous twenty years of comprehension, and may even be more.

Because a lack of affinity creates a bottleneck in comprehending the laws, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel his rapid progress at this moment, almost without any obstacles, the only thing he lacked was time.

If given a million years, he might be able to easily comprehend the complete fundamental laws of lightning, break through to immortality, and obtain eternal life unrestricted by the original universe.

"My understanding of the laws is already 9%, I only need one percent more to gain the recognition of the fundamental laws of lightning... but my actual strength is still a little lacking."

Having advanced from the second rank of Domain Lord to the sixth rank last time, the surge in power has been largely mastered through this period of intense training... Lu Qingshan is now planning to further improve his level.

After all, there's really no point in lingering at the Domain Lord stage; even if you're going to limit your level, you should stay at the Realm Lord level.

It would take him a million years to fully comprehend the fundamental laws of lightning, but it might only take tens of thousands of years to break through to the realm master level.

For him, accumulating primal force during the domain lord stage was somewhat of a waste of time.

Unfortunately, Lei Ming had already advanced to the ninth level of the Stellar Realm on his own and did not need his nutrient solution.

Neither of the two apprentices currently have the need to break through to the cosmic level.

The only options now, besides taking on a third apprentice, are to try their luck at the shops in Qianwu City.

Although the resources required to break through to the Domain Lord stage are precious, many are not non-saleable and can still be purchased with Cosmic Coins.

The list of points redemption options at the Qianwu Dojo does include a few, but unfortunately, they require too many points. The little he earns from lecturing is just a drop in the bucket, so he has to look for other ways outside...
