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

Chapter 90 Three Marquises
Lu Qingshan changed his identity and went to another betting institution, where he used the remaining 100 Hunyuan units to buy the first place in the Lingyu Genius Battle.

The odds are similar to the first time, at 1:1022.
"Lingyu, my good disciple, whether I can become rich this time depends on you!"

Lu Qingshan has gone all out this time, it's a huge gamble.

Two hundred mixed units represented almost all the cash he had on him.

If Ling Yu wins first place in the Genius Battle, he will receive 204600 Mixed Yuan Units.

This amount of money is already far more than the average immortal's fortune.

It's important to understand that when Khun Sa Luo's Treasure Pavilion was operating normally, its total shares only amounted to 20,000 Mixed Yuan Units. Lu Qingshan would only ultimately receive one-tenth of that bonus.

As for whether he would ultimately receive the money, Lu Qingshan wasn't worried...

Those two companies are universe-level firms, with many immortals betting on them. Compared to those truly powerful individuals, Lu Qingshan's situation is nothing at all.

Dealing with large companies may result in lower profits, but it's safer and more reliable, and you won't encounter as many troublesome issues.

……

Next, Lu Qingshan kept a close eye on the news about the Genius Battle.

Both Lei Ming and Paris were eliminated in the Trial Tower stage.

This was expected.

Even though Lei Ming had reached the threshold of the fundamental laws of lightning, there were no surprises.

There are just too many geniuses in this universe.

There are 1008 cosmic nations and more than 100 million geniuses, nearly half of whom have entered the threshold of the fundamental laws. Among so many people, only the top 7300 in the points ranking have the opportunity to enter the final arena.

It would be strange if someone with a million geniuses could even be selected as number 7300!

Throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, only Lingyu performed exceptionally well in the Trial Tower segment.

She was like a dark horse that suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

It left everyone speechless.

In this segment, Lingyu made it to the first level of the sixth trial tower in one go, even more dazzling than the Illusion God Mobert, and killed more than 7,000 Blood-haired Mammoths.

However, she was not first, but second. The one who ranked first in the Trial Tower was Dolan, who was known as the God of Fire.

He was a mentalist who controlled the Vulcan Weapon, one of the nine divine weapons. He had a great advantage in the Trial Tower. On the first floor of the sixth Trial Tower, he killed more than 8,000 Blood-haired Mammoths.

In the Trial Tower, Lingyu displayed 72 time illusions for the first time, shocking countless people.

This is especially true for the people of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Angel Lingyu's name is more famous than any star, and she has become a household name.

If she were willing to endorse a product or become the spokesperson for a company, she would receive a sum of money that would tempt even the immortal gods.

really.

When Lu Qingshan checked the betting odds again, Lingyu's odds had dropped from over 1:1000 to 1:2.8.

This means that, in the eyes of most people, Lingyu has truly the potential to win the final battle for first place.

Securing second place in the Trial Tower means that Lingyu has already secured her qualification for the core secret realm of the virtual universe. As for which secret realm it will be, we'll have to wait and see in the later arena rounds.

The duel between 100 and 7300 was over quickly. Only 900 remained.

These 900 people no longer need to compete.

Based on their previous performance, the Virtual Universe Company will select the 100 most outstanding talents from these 900 geniuses to duel with the top 100 in the Trial Tower. Failure will likely result in the Doomsday Secret Realm, while success will at least grant access to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

The final duel was still broadcast live across the entire virtual universe.

The strongest being in the Qianwu Secret Realm, Marquis Mingguang, personally sent emails to each of the top-tier instructors, inviting everyone to watch the final competition together.

The three immortals were very satisfied with Lingyu's performance and shared their joy with the other mentors.

"Brother Qingshan, you've kept this a secret for a long time! When did His Highness Lingyu begin to understand the fundamental laws of time? Why didn't you tell your older brother?"

As soon as Lu Qingshan entered, he was surrounded by a group of people, among whom Yang was the most excited.

Lingyu is a genius of the Qianwu Secret Realm.

If Ling Yu can win first place in the Genius Battle, these secret realm mentors will also share in the glory.

“Brother Yang, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but Lord Silver Moon Marquis personally issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from spreading this. I have no choice. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Bai Mei…”

Lu Qingshan shifted the blame.

“Hehe, Instructor Lu wasn’t lying about this; it was Lord Silvermoon Marquis who gave the order.” White Eyebrows immediately stepped forward to vouch for him.

"So, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you know about this too?"

More people surrounded White Eyebrows and started asking him questions.

Bai Mei shook his head helplessly and then recounted the incident.

For example, how Lu Qingshan guided Ling Yu into the realm of the laws of time, and how he tried to stop her, almost ruining everything.

If this happens, it's a man-made disaster...

If it didn't happen, and Lingyu thus entered the realm of the laws of time, then it's all just a joke.

After hearing Bai Mei's words, the group of realm lords were amazed. They never expected that Princess Ling Yu's process of entering the fundamental laws of time had such a thrilling and tortuous past.

Someone cursed, "You good-for-nothing Bai Mei, you're more trouble than you're worth. If Princess Ling Yu gives up the fundamental law of time because of you and loses the chance to compete for a spot in the top ten of the universe, your sin will be immense."

"Hmph, so that's why Lord Silvermoon Marquis suddenly stripped you of your mentorship. Turns out you've done this kind of thing! You're just misleading students!"

Bai Mei is the most senior among the mentors, but there are many who are even more senior than him.

These people were filled with righteous indignation and pointed at Bai Mei angrily.

Bai Mei could only force a smile, feeling utterly helpless inside.

After all, in his version, Prince Lingyu is a tenacious, fearless genius, and Lu Qingshan is a selfless and discerning teacher. He can't speak ill of Marquis Yinyue, so he can only take all the responsibility upon himself.

It was inevitable that they would become the target of public criticism.

In the end, Lu Qingshan couldn't stand it anymore and helped out, and the others finally gave up.

"Instructor Lu, congratulations. After this, the three immortal gods will definitely value you highly."

“Professor Lu, there aren’t many people I admire, but you are one of them.”

"Instructor Lu, you deserve the most credit for Princess Lingyu's entry into the top ten in the universe this time."

……

The hall was in chaos, with many mentors surrounding Lu Qingshan, their words filled with praise and admiration.

As for Khun Saro's previous threats, no one takes them seriously anymore.

Lu Qingshan nurtured Ling Yu, a genius who is among the top ten in the universe.

The three immortals must value him highly, so Khun Sa Luo's threat is nothing.

That Kunsala is indeed immortal, but compared to these three great figures in the secret realm, he is not even in the same league.

if……

There was another unrealistic thought in everyone's mind: if His Highness Lingyu won first place in the Genius Battle, even the great Qianwu Kingdom's ruler would probably ask about it!
At that time, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to curry favor with Lu Qingshan.

The chaotic scene only quieted down when the three immortals arrived.

Silver Moon Marquis swept his gaze across the crowd and spotted Lu Qingshan, who was surrounded by admirers.

“Professor Lu Qingshan, please sit here.”

"Yes, Lord Silver Moon."

Lu Qingshan stood up and walked to the seats next to the three immortals.

Marquis Silver Moon pointed to the other two and introduced them.

"This is Marquis Mingguang."

This was the first time Lu Qingshan had met this strongest person in the Qianwu Secret Realm. Looking at the other party's glowing armor, he respectfully said, "Greetings, Lord Mingguang."

"Indeed, the younger generation is formidable. If Lingyu can win first place in the Genius Battle, you will have made a great contribution."

"I dare not,"

Marquis Yinyue then pointed to another man wearing a light blue robe and said, "This is Marquis Canghai."

"Greetings, Marquis Canghai."

Lu Qingshan bowed again; this was also the first time he had met this Marquis of Canghai.

“Lu Qingshan…not bad, not bad. My disciple once mentioned you. To have reached this level in less than a hundred years, you are truly a genius.”

"Hehe, you probably don't know who my disciple is. His name is Seris. He was your opponent when you joined the Qianwu Dojo!"
