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

Chapter 88 - This name is awful.

In the secret realm of Qianwu, at the foot of Fenglei Mountain, in a courtyard.

Lei Ming closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed, and his face was serious. In front of him, two purple jade lightning crystals shimmered with light.

During the month or so before the registration deadline for the "Peak Genius Battle", he spent day and night trying to comprehend the rudimentary laws of lightning on the two purple jade lightning crystals.

This treasure was a gift from their teacher. Originally, he and Paris each had one, but after returning from their teacher's villa, Paris suggested that they put the two together and let one of them study them first...

Because the lightning origin law patterns on the two Purple Jade Thunder Crystals are different, studying them together will be much more efficient, which is even better than Lu Qingshan's suggestion to exchange them for study.

Paris was very confident in the qualifiers, so he gave Lei Ming the opportunity to be the first to comprehend it.

This is why, even after the preliminary rounds had begun, Lei Ming was still hiding in a tree hollow, cultivating.

For him, every minute and every second is crucial. If he doesn't master the fundamental laws of lightning, he'll at most be eliminated in the first round of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and will definitely miss the finals... But if he gets a basic understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning, it will be a completely different story.

But... it hasn't been long before he's been targeted by a master who's just entered the realm of fundamental laws!
"Damn it!!"

In World Zone 88, Lei Ming dodged while recalling the secret patterns on the Purple Jade Thunder Crystal.

The trees behind him fell one by one.

Lei Ming unleashed the Lightning Flash to its fullest extent, transforming the original three illusory bodies into four. Even so, he still endured immense pressure and risked death at any moment.

"Four illusions?"

Payne in the sky showed a surprised expression, then flew into a rage.

"You bastard, you dare to hide your strength while I'm chasing you! I will never let you go!"

He growled.

The Cloud Shuttle slowly grew larger, transforming into a giant golden sword.

"cut!!!"

This was his strongest move, which he hadn't used before because he looked down on the person in front of him and planned to save it for an opponent of the same level. But now, after chasing him for so long without success, he finally couldn't hold back anymore!
The sword strike was incredibly fast and seemed to have a lock-on effect. Lei Ming realized he couldn't dodge it, so he dodged behind a boulder. With a loud boom, the boulder was easily pierced by the golden sword, as if it were tofu. The sword's speed didn't decrease at all, and it slashed towards Lei Ming head-on.

"Lightning Flash!!"

The four illusory forms reappeared, fleeing in all directions. As long as one of them escapes, Lei Ming can merge his true form into it and break free once more...

However, under this unparalleled golden sword shadow, all four of Lei Ming's illusory forms perished...

"it's over?"

Yang, who was watching the game, was stunned for a moment.

The main reason was that Lei Ming had been too persistent. He had been chased for so long and still had a backup plan, which made Lei Ming feel that the end was too sudden.

But in the end...

"wrong!"

If this were reality, Yang would never be mistaken; the main problem is that this is a virtual universe, and he can only observe it through his eyes.

Although his eyesight is sharp enough to catch even the slightest movement, there are always places that are overlooked.

Just as the Holy Sword Pain was preparing to land and check his battle results.

suddenly.

Just now, beneath the boulder, amidst the falling leaves, a figure flew out from among the withered leaves.

"Nine Thunderous Blades!! Shadowless!"

A purple figure rose from the ground like lightning, and after a single strike, Pain stood frozen in place!

"How is this possible? When did this guy master the fundamental laws of lightning?"

Yang turned to look at Lu Qingshan, only to find that Lu Qingshan was smiling.

This result seems to have been expected.

Yang took a deep breath.

Suddenly, I felt that my younger brother was unfathomable.

Lei Ming landed slowly, watching Payne's figure gradually dissipate, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

This guy is still too green. Doesn't he know that there will be a warning after killing someone?

"Thunder! Thunder!!!"

The virtual universe has driven countless people crazy.

This kind of competition.

Geniuses who have mastered the fundamental laws are extremely rare, and each one attracts the attention of countless people.

Their focus was on the Holy Sword Pain, but Lei Ming, who was being hunted down, naturally also attracted a lot of attention.

But now.

Lei Ming's incredible comeback thrilled countless spectators. "I know Lei Ming. He's a master from our Qianwu Dojo, and he's currently in the Qianwu Secret Realm! He's a genius."

Harley laughed heartily among the group.

"So he's a genius from the Qianwu Secret Realm. No wonder he chose the Qianwu Continent as his registration address."

"What a pity. I was originally planning to send him an invitation, but the geniuses of the Qianwu Secret Realm would definitely look down on my small company."

"Thor! Invincible!"

"Thor!!"

……

Even Lei Ming was unaware that his video of killing Pain had gained him many fans in the Virtual Universe Genius Battle column, and he had even been given the nickname 'Thor'.

The capital of the Dragon Universe Kingdom.

The banquet hall, which had just been bustling with activity, was now completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"Pain, the Holy Sword? How stupid! He actually got killed instead."

"He could have made it into the list of 1,000 people in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, but he was eliminated in the preliminary rounds."

"He couldn't even pass the preliminary rounds to get past the basic threshold of the fundamental laws. How embarrassing!!"

"He shouldn't have held back. If he had used his ultimate move from the start, how could he have been killed by the opponent who had comprehended the fundamental laws of lightning?"

"Shame on you, so shameful!"

The originally lively banquet could not continue.

Payne's elimination was like a slap in the face to these high-ranking officials of the Empire.

Even Quinto stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to accept the result!

……

[Your disciple Lei Ming has comprehended the fundamental laws of lightning, receiving a hundredfold return; your fundamental laws of lightning have also been greatly enhanced.]

Another significant improvement.

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but pick up a glass of fine wine from the table and drink it all in one gulp, feeling extremely happy.

It was worth it for him to save the rebate opportunity from last year until the very end; the past month has once again broken the record for rebates in the new year.

Lu Qingshan felt the understanding and insights into the fundamental laws of lightning that appeared out of thin air in his memory.

Slowly digesting the gains...

[The fundamental law of lightning: 26% → 36%]

Lu Qingshan squinted, seemingly savoring the fine wine he had just tasted, but in reality, he was digesting the insights into the laws that came with the rebate.

This feels so good.

The principles gained through diligent contemplation are too slow, while the return on investment is astonishing.

Lu Qingshan still liked the feeling of getting something for nothing.

If only Paris would do it to him too.

Lu Qingshan knew that this opportunity was very precious, just like when Lei Ming first mastered the lightning domain, it greatly improved him... Even if Lei Ming's laws improved in the future, and he received the same hundredfold return, he would never be able to gain so many insights at once.

100 is a hundred times, and 999 is also a hundred times!

"Brother Qingshan, you already knew, didn't you?"

Yang asked curiously.

Lu Qingshan slowly opened his eyes, smiled, and said, "Didn't I tell you before? My disciple is prone to creating miracles..."

In fact, when Lei Ming's fifth illusory body appeared, Lu Qingshan knew that he must have entered the fundamental laws of lightning.

The Five Illusions are the threshold of the Law of Lightning. Below this level, one can use it without comprehending the law. But above this level, only those with extraordinary combat talent like Paris can barely use it. A genius like Lei Ming must comprehend the fundamental law.

At that moment, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

"Haha, that's true. He's very popular online now, and many people have given him the nickname 'Thor'!"

Yang is well-informed and loves gossip; in just a short while, he's already browsed through all the news online.
"Thor?" Lu Qingshan shook his head: "This name is too awful. Lei Ming must change it. We absolutely cannot use this!"

"Hehe, I think it's fine, it's a very powerful name!"

Yang was somewhat puzzled.

"I'm a teacher, so it's not okay if I don't like it."

Lu Qingshan gave a very domineering answer.
