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

Chapter 26 The Second Personal Disciple

For a group of elite students at the Stellar level, whose highest level in any field is no more than the sixth level, cultivating secret techniques is very difficult.

In the past two years, let alone reaching the second level of the secret technique, many people haven't even entered the door.

Those beginners, like Harley, haven't even grasped one-tenth of the first level of mystery.

Compared to Paris before them, they deeply felt the enormous gap between them.

"Paris, an elite student who joined the headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo ten years ago, has such terrifying comprehension. He will probably be able to secure a spot in this secret realm qualification battle."

"This guy is a loner and has no friends. Who would have thought that he would be the first person to successfully master Teacher Lu's secret technique?"

"The teacher said in the email that the first student to successfully master the secret technique will receive a surprise. I wonder what the surprise the teacher is talking about is."

"do not know……"

……

Ignoring the murmurs of the students below the stage, Lu Qingshan nodded at the aloof figure standing opposite him.

"Paris, you did a good job. Come to my place after class."

Lu Qingshan spoke calmly.

"is teacher."

Paris, his body shrouded in a black robe with only his eyes showing, bowed to Lu Qingshan before slowly descending.

Lu Qingshan looked at the other students again and said, "Although you missed the first place reward, the secret technique is still very useful. At least it will be of great help to you in the ranking competition for elite students in the dojo and the qualification competition for the secret realm."

"In the future, I will test the progress of other people's secret techniques cultivation when I have the opportunity. If the results satisfy me, there will be additional rewards."

Hearing Lu Qingshan say this, the students who had already cultivated the secret technique to the first level were rekindled with confidence. Although they had missed this opportunity, there would still be a chance in the future.

Below the stage, Lei Ming sat cross-legged in the center of the crowd, a look of disappointment on his face.

He had been diligently practicing the secret technique created by his teacher for the past two years, but he was still a little short of breaking through to the second level. He thought victory was in sight, but someone else beat him to it.

"Teacher, I've let you down. Next time... next time, I'll definitely be the first one."

Taking a deep breath, Lei Ming adjusted his mindset and continued to listen to the teacher's guidance to the other students in their cultivation.

……

A few hours later, Lu Qingshan finished his public lecture and called Paris to return to the manor together.

"Prepare some food first."

Lu Qingshan gave an instruction to the butler, Luo Er, and then looked at the black-robed youth behind him.

"Paris, you're from the Blade Clan, aren't you?"

Lu Qingshan spoke.

"Yes, teacher, I come from the Blade Clan."

Paris answered without hesitation.

As he spoke, he removed the black robe he usually wore as a disguise, revealing his true appearance.

The Blade Clan are human, but they look very different from most humans. Their bodies are covered in blue skin, their faces are covered in scales that resemble a blue helmet, and a slightly curved horn grows from their bald foreheads. Paris wasn't the first Blade Clan member Lu Qingshan encountered. Ninety thousand years ago, when Lu Qingshan participated in the Great Axe Battle, he already had a powerful enemy from the Blade Clan.

That Blade Clan member was incredibly powerful. Given Lu Qingshan's strength at the time, he was almost no match for him. Fortunately, the Blade Clan member had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. Lu Qingshan used his speed advantage from the Light Domain to fight him off and finally defeated him.

Before that, the Blade Clan had helped him deal with another formidable opponent.

In that life-or-death battle with the giant axe, Lu Qingshan earned the title of Giant Axe Warrior, but he knew that his success was largely due to luck.

The Blade Clan are born warriors. They are bloodthirsty and warlike, and they worship the strong... They have even broken the record for the strongest beings when their native planet came into contact with the universe. According to legend, when the Blade Clan first encountered a cosmic civilization countless years ago, a domain lord-level powerhouse had already been born on their native planet.

Lu Qingshan silently mourned for the first expedition team to reach the Blade Clan's home planet.

If nothing unexpected happens, they have probably reincarnated hundreds of times already.

Blade warriors are now scattered throughout the universe, with some even fighting on extraterrestrial battlefields. Among them are immortal beings.

"Paris, you are quite a genius to have mastered the Lightning Flash to the second level of beginner level and created an illusion body in two and a half years."

“I once said that I would give a surprise to whoever could be the first to master the Lightning Flash to the second level.”

After a pause, Lu Qingshan continued.

"Paris, would you be willing to become my personal disciple?"

Paris's bloodthirsty eyes were filled with shock.

He never expected that the surprise Teacher Lu mentioned would be taking the first student who broke through to the second level as his disciple.

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and continued, "I know that your Blade Clan has many powerful individuals. I can guarantee that no matter who they are, the resources they provide cannot compare to mine. Moreover, my understanding of the laws has long surpassed that of most Realm Lords. I only need to accumulate Origin Force to easily break through to the Realm Lord realm."

Paris took a deep breath and chose to be honest: "Teacher, I have long since lost my place in the Blade Clan. The reason I hesitated is because I was afraid of implicating you."

Paris recounted the whole story.

It turns out that when Paris was in his clan, he had a conflict with the descendant of a powerful figure, who secretly killed his parents.

Paris guessed that the other party was responsible and used his twin swords to chop the other party into mincemeat.

Paris was, after all, a genius. With the help of his other clansmen, he fled his hometown and joined the Qianwu Dojo.

Lu Qingshan shook his head: "It's nothing more than killing a descendant of an immortal family from the Blade Clan. Under my tutelage, you'll soon be able to join the Qianwu Secret Realm. Once you become a genius in the Secret Realm, let alone a mere descendant of an immortal, even that immortal himself wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you..."

"As for me... you don't need to worry. It won't be long before I break through to the Realm Lord level. Unless the Blade Clan is crazy, they would never attack a Three-Leaf Dry Witch. Moreover, I will not leave the Dry Witch Dojo without the ability to protect myself."

After Lu Qingshan said that, Paris didn't hesitate any longer and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Disciple Paris greets Master."

Lu Qingshan laughed heartily: "Alright, Paris, from now on you will be my second personal disciple."

As he spoke, he took out a secret manual.

"Lightning Flash, you already have the second level of the manual, which is enough for now. I also have a book called Thunderclap Nine Blades. Take it back and practice it well. I will send you your apprenticeship gift a year from now."

Paris respectfully accepted the manual.

"Go, cultivate diligently, and email me anytime if you have any questions. I will personally guide you when I have time."
