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

Chapter 89 A Great Opportunity to Make a Fortune!

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The selection competition of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has finally come to an end after a long series of rounds.

Over the past few years, a total of one thousand of the most outstanding geniuses have been selected to participate in the final battle across the entire universe.

Of these thousand people, more than half had entered the threshold of the fundamental laws, ninety percent were geniuses from the Qianwu Secret Realm, and a very small number were geniuses from other medium-sized universe countries, or personal disciples trained by some realm lord or immortal.

The rest are geniuses like Paris, who are at the peak of the ninth level of the Domain and possess strong combat talent.

All three of Lu Qingshan's disciples passed the selection process of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The most outstanding player was Lingyu, who was directly promoted to the World Championship and did not participate in any subsequent competitions.

Lei Ming advanced through the arena competition.

When Paris encountered a genius who had just entered the fundamental laws of the game, no miracle occurred. Like Luo Feng, he had to fight his way back up from the reincarnation tournament after three years.

Lu Qingshan's achievements amazed many top-tier instructors in the secret realm.

Lingyu doesn't count.

She was already the number one in the secret realm.

Lei Ming and Paris both fought their way in from the Qianwu Dojo with Lu Qingshan.

Unexpectedly, in just over a decade, the two of them crushed the geniuses who had cultivated for many years in the Qianwu Secret Realm and made it into the list of one thousand people in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Among them, Lei Ming also learned the fundamental laws of lightning during the battle...

Many mentors secretly discussed that Lu Qingshan's teaching level was definitely extraordinary; otherwise, how could all his disciples have become successful?

Even some of the immortals in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom had heard this rumor...

They all sent emails to Lu Qingshan, wanting to send their family's geniuses to him for training and to have them become his students...

Lu Qingshan has very high standards for accepting disciples, and he can only politely refuse those who want to become his apprentices.

He stated that he was not an omnipotent teacher, only possessing a smattering of lightning laws, and that not all his disciples would succeed, including a useless little brat like Ling Xi…

Lu Qingshan glanced at his little apprentice Lingxi, who was wearing a black apron with white trim and busy in the kitchen.

Fortunately, this guy is there to ensure that others don't think that any student can become successful under his guidance.

"Teacher... after my sister finishes the competition, will she be leaving the Qianwu Universe Kingdom?"

Lingxi came over carrying a plate of roasted meat.

The meat in this grilled dish is a relatively rare type of venison, with a golden color. Served with a dipping sauce, it looks very appetizing.

"Yes, after the competition, someone will pick him up and take him to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company. If you miss her, you can go and spend more time with her."

Lu Qingshan picked up a piece of grilled meat, dipped it in the sauce, and took a bite.

"Sigh, never mind... My sister has been cultivating lately. She's about to participate in the finals of the Peak Genius Battle. I'd better not disturb her. I'll go and stay with her for a few days after she finishes the competition."

Lingxi sat to the side, not touching the cutlery, and skillfully poured Lu Qingshan a glass of fine wine.

"Well, whatever you want... you can arrange it yourself."

……

Not long after... after the last selection round of the Genius Battle for the last universe nation was completed, the Genius Battle Finals began.

Lu Qingshan obtained the list of well-known players in this genius battle as soon as possible...

I looked at their match records in detail.

"The level of this genius battle was indeed quite average!"

After reading it, Lu Qingshan's worries dissipated, and everything was just as he had guessed.

A genius who has only a basic grasp of the laws of space and can only create a dozen or so illusions is being touted as the top contender for number one.

If this had happened in Berlan's generation, Berlan's thousands of spatial illusions would have terrified this guy.

No wonder the powerful figures of Chaos City said that Luo Feng's generation was the strongest generation in tens of thousands of epochs.

It doesn't seem surprising now.

In that year, not to mention Bolan, Luo Feng, Long Yun, Rong Jun, and even the Prince of Manka Star... were all not much different from the number one candidate of that year.

Even Ling Yu, who did not demonstrate the fundamental laws of time, was listed as one of the top ten in the universe due to his proficiency in the second level of the Wind and Thunder Sword during battle and his powerful movement techniques.

Of course, there are many candidates, hundreds in total!

Ling Yu is listed as one of the hundreds of popular figures, doesn't that mean...?

As Lu Qingshan savored the barbecue, a wisp of his consciousness entered the virtual universe. He arrived at a betting station of a large, universe-level lottery company in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

What's the hottest thing in the entire universe right now? It's definitely the battle of geniuses! Naturally, the betting stations are packed with people.

The world will never lack gamblers.

Any game with even a sliver of chance can captivate countless people, let alone this battle of geniuses, broadcast live across the entire universe, fair and just... How could they possibly miss out on such a spectacle?
"Hmm, a Realm Lord level expert?"

Lu Qingshan entered the room.

The supervisor on the first floor rushed in. It's hard to distinguish between strong and weak in the virtual universe. Places like this usually have equipment to detect strength, so as not to neglect the strong.

"Sir...you are a powerful Realm Lord, a VIP of our betting point. Please follow me to the VIP room on the third floor. We will have dedicated staff to serve you."

"it is good."

Lu Qingshan nodded and followed the supervisor to the third floor.

He just left.

People downstairs started talking about it.

"I never expected that a great Realm Lord would come."

"Haha, even a Realm Lord level expert is placing bets. Let's see what my wife has to say about me being a spendthrift now."

“Lord of the Realm! In our Bakala Universe Kingdom, the strongest are only at the Domain Lord level.”

“In our Middle Universe Kingdom, a Realm Lord could establish a large family.”

……

The betting hall became much livelier because of Lu Qingshan's arrival.

Compared to the chaotic scene downstairs, the VIP room was very quiet.

There were more than a dozen people here; some wore two-star mercenary badges, while others wore the official robes of high-ranking officials…

One of them even faintly exuded the world power unique to a world lord.

Upon noticing Lu Qingshan, the other party nodded in acknowledgment, but the two did not exchange any further words.

"Sir, would you like to place a bet?"

A sweet-looking staff member with cat ears squatted down next to Lu Qingshan, holding a betting device in her hand.

"I want to see the odds of the top player winning first place in the Genius Tournament."

There must be many ways to play this kind of betting point. Lu Qingshan didn't want the hassle, so he directly chose to bet on the number one in the universe, which is probably one of the games with the highest odds.

"Sir, please take a look."

The girl flipped through the instrument in her hand, and the betting information of each player appeared in front of her.

"Phantom God Mobert, a genius player from the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, is proficient in the fundamental laws of space, odds 1:1.6."

This is the genius that Lu Qingshan had seen in the information before.

Seeing this ratio, he chuckled to himself. It seemed that this "Phantom God" was indeed considered the number one this year by most people.

Next.

"Vulcan Dolan, proficient in fire-based laws and novice in spatial laws, odds: 1:2.6..."

This is also a popular choice, and could even rival the legendary Mobert.

Lu Qingshan continued reading.

"Heavenly Sword Nine Abyss, odds 1:49..."

"Toman the Barbarian King, odds 1:128..."

"Carmen the God of Aragami, odds 1:133..."

……

Lu Qingshan kept scrolling to the back and finally saw Ling Yu.

"Angel Feather, odds 1:1024..."

???

Seeing Lu Qingshan's gaze fixed on Ling Yu, the staff member introduced, "Princess Ling Yu is a seeded player from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Because the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's performance was mediocre before, few people were optimistic about her. Part of the reason she was selected is because of her beautiful appearance."

“Pretty? Heh…” Lu Qingshan chuckled and pointed at Ling Yu’s image, saying, “I like pretty players, so I’ll bet on her to be number one. Buy me 100 Mixed Yuan Units.”
