Chapter 7 King Jinlan's Email

"Oh? He crushed his opponent with just a sonic attack, impressive!" A bald, immortal powerhouse who was watching the live broadcast of the battle couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

It's important to understand that both Force weapons used by martial artists and psychic weapons used by their controllers provide significant advantages in combat. Therefore, unless there's a substantial difference in strength, the disadvantage of fighting unarmed is enormous.

As for Lu Ming, he didn't just fight empty-handed; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he only moved his mouth.

"Although the 'Eight Forms of Thunder Beast' he cultivates already has a sonic attack method, which may have achieved the effect just now, his understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning has probably reached a very deep level!" Only when the foundation of the laws completely overwhelms the opponent can this level be achieved.

As far as they knew, Lu Ming had only been at the threshold of the fundamental laws of lightning for a few short years.

In just a few years, Lu Ming's understanding of the laws has surpassed and even crushed all other star-level seed elites!

...

"How is this possible?" At the same time, the other five elite geniuses who were watching the live broadcast of this battle were all silent, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Rudy losing this match was already expected, but to lose in this way... the difference in strength between the two is simply too exaggerated!

"Although I'm confident I can defeat Rudy, it will definitely be a tough battle. Lu Ming, that guy... he really is a monster!" The green-browed youth, Saga, stared intently at the screen for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

If those six can be considered geniuses, then Lu Ming is simply a monster, a freak! His rate of improvement has completely shattered the understanding of ordinary people and even ordinary geniuses.

Faced with such a huge disparity in strength, Saga could no longer muster any fighting spirit.

……

After the first battle, Lu Ming glanced down at the screen on his arm guard. The screen displayed 1 win, 0 draws, 0 losses, and 1 point after his name.

Soon after, Lu Ming's second match began. This time, his opponent was a genius of the Sword Demon Clan named "Moye," who was known as the "Ghost Sword."

As a super genius of the Sword Demon Clan, Maya possessed extraordinary talent in swordsmanship and surpassed Rudy in combat prowess. He had also stepped into the threshold of the fundamental laws of light. However, all his trump cards were meaningless when facing Lu Ming, and he was still 'instantly killed'.

Time marches on, and battles continue.

In this round of the Star-level sequence battle, the battles between the other six people were still very intense. However, no matter who they were, after facing Lu Ming, they could hardly last until the second move, and could only give points to their opponent without any suspense.

The final result of the battle was as expected. Lu Ming, with a perfect record of six wins out of six, firmly overwhelmed all others and became the number one in the Hengxing Star Rank.

"I hope my special performance will attract some attention from the King of Jinlan Kingdom..." After the Sequence Battle ended, Lu Ming resumed his secluded cultivation.

Of course, before that, he also consulted with Marquis Zhenlei about the sixth move of the "Eight Forms of Thunder Beasts," "Phoenix Cry." However, with less than half a year left before the start of the Genius Battle, he probably wouldn't have enough time to master this move.

...

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

This is where many high-ranking members of the human race usually reside in the virtual universe.

On the empty palace throne sat a tall, imposing man with brown hair, dressed in a wide black and gold robe, as solid as an ancient rock. Suddenly, this brown-haired man opened his eyes.

"Has another five thousand years passed?" King Jinlan murmured to himself, his eyes calm and undisturbed. However, upon seeing the email he had just received, a glint of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"This little fellow named Lu Ming does have some potential. The fact that he was able to master the Eight Forms of Thunder Beast so quickly shows that he not only has extremely high talent in the fundamental laws of lightning, but is also very suitable for cultivating this kind of secret technique..." It was precisely this point that made King Jinlan suddenly have the idea of ​​guiding the other party.

Over the countless years, the King of Jinlan had witnessed countless geniuses, but only a very few possessed a certain 'special quality' that could capture his attention. And this time, he saw an extremely rare 'special quality' in Lu Ming.

"However, the Law of Lightning is ultimately just a lower-level law. If this little guy can also achieve something in the Law of Time, then he will have a slight chance of becoming a true powerhouse." As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

To the average person, Lu Ming's talent in the fundamental laws of lightning might seem extraordinary. But in the eyes of the King of Jinlan, what difference does talent in lower-level laws make?

Even if one could quickly comprehend the entire fundamental law of lightning, one would only become an ordinary immortal powerhouse.

If Lu Ming wants to become a true powerhouse, he ultimately needs to align himself with the two supreme fundamental laws of space and time. Only with sufficient understanding of these two laws will he have a chance to become a marquis or even a king, an immortal powerhouse.

As for the higher realm of Cosmic Lord (Cosmic Venerable), King Jinlan had never even considered it.

Even those hailed as the ultimate geniuses of humanity, appearing only once every tens of thousands of epochs, have only an extremely small chance of becoming a cosmic sovereign. Lu Ming? While he is somewhat special, he is still far from it.

But who can predict the future?

...

Inside the familiar training room.

"Master, you have a new important email. Please check it." The voice of the auxiliary computer 'Alice' sounded in his ear, which quickly attracted Lu Ming's attention.

"This is... an email from the King of Jinlan?!" Lu Ming was startled when he saw the signature on the email.

Although he had deliberately acted this way to attract the other person's attention, it was just a trial run, and he didn't expect it to actually work.

"Alice, open the email!" Lu Ming was a little excited and eager to know what the King of Jinlan had written in the email.

Taking on apprentices? The chances are probably very slim.

When a cosmic master accepts a disciple, he usually has extremely high standards.

In the original work, the Death God Berlan was hailed as a peerless genius who appeared only once in tens of thousands of epochs among the human race, yet he failed to attract any cosmic venerable to take him as a disciple.

The talent and achievements he has shown so far are far from meeting the requirements.

"This King of Jinlan actually advised me to get in touch with the fundamental laws of time as soon as possible?" The first sentence in the email message was telling him to study the fundamental laws of time.

If it were an ordinary genius, the King of Jinlan Kingdom certainly wouldn't have given such advice. After all, their talent wasn't top-tier to begin with, and if they were to be distracted by cultivating even more difficult higher-level laws, they might not even achieve immortality in the end. But in his eyes, Lu Ming was a genius qualified to do so.

Even if he's distracted, he can easily break through the barrier of immortality. How to go even further is what he really needs to consider.

"I have an extremely high talent for the fundamental law of lightning. Using this as a stepping stone, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to gain a preliminary understanding of the fundamental law of time..." However, despite this, he currently only possesses a white talent in the law of time: "Low-level Affinity to the Law of Time."

Even if he were to specialize in the fundamental law of time, his progress would likely be extremely limited, far less than that of the fundamental law of lightning.

As for how to choose, that depends on what new talent he draws next month.

"Although it was just an email, and we didn't even meet in person, I've managed to establish a connection with the King of Jinlan, which could be considered a 'significant turning point'." That's right, this was Lu Ming's true purpose.

The rewards from the Golden Orchid Dojo were secondary; what he truly desired was the opportunity to 'trigger an event' and draw a higher-quality talent.
