Chapter 19 Genius Ji Qing?
Chapter 19 Genius Ji Qing?
Time Island, a villa on a hillside.
After returning to his residence, Li Yang immediately entered the virtual universe and told his grandmother everything that Shi Guanghou had said.
It wasn't that he was going to inquire about becoming an apprentice; he simply wanted the family's higher-ups to know that he was about to become the apprentice of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler!
Upon learning this news, Ying Shanxueyang could no longer sit still.
Even Luo showed an incredulous expression. The Qianwu Kingdom Lord was a Universe Venerable, an absolute peak existence!
Something's not right.
Luo's thoughts raced. Back in the core of the Giant Axe Arena, even the super geniuses who entered the Giant Axe Secret Realm mostly became disciples and were granted titles. He had never heard of anyone becoming a disciple of the Universe Venerable.
Logically speaking, Li Yang's talent shouldn't have warranted the Venerable One taking him on as a disciple.
"This matter is extremely serious!" Ying Shanxue's lips trembled. "I will contact the leader and report to the clan ancestor. You should focus on your cultivation during this time. I also need to trouble Mr. Luo to provide more guidance, as the guidance promised by Marquis Shiguang is ultimately limited."
"Don't worry, leave this to me. That cultivation plan only requires Li Yang to comprehend the first level of 'Time Notes' and understand the 312 secret techniques within it. This is equivalent to understanding the essence of the second time law, which I happen to know a little about."
The geniuses whom even the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom favored, Luo and You Rongyan, no longer possessed any of their previous arrogance.
After all, once you become the king's disciple, you'll have a lot of face no matter what you do.
Associating with such a genius would be incredibly beneficial in the future.
Li Yang might even be able to help me break through to immortality.
at the same time--
The news of the emergence of a super genius in the Qianwu Secret Realm spread throughout the three hundred royal families of the Qianwu Kingdom.
Qiongyu Star, Tianzang City.
At a private banquet of extremely high caliber, powerful realm lords were everywhere, and several immortal gods were also present.
"Congratulations, Lord Silver Snow Marquis!"
"Miss Ji Qing has completed a top-tier mission and joined the core of the Mercenary Alliance. Her future achievements are limitless!"
"It's a pity we won't be able to see Miss Ji Qing participate in this year's Genius Battle..."
Marquis Silvermoon, dressed in white robes, mingled among the many guests. "Thank you all for your kindness. I hope you will continue to support Ji Qing in the Mercenary Alliance in the future."
Several realm lords from the Ji family followed behind, toasting each of them with their clan ancestor and befriending some realm lords and immortals within the mercenary alliance.
"Sorry I'm late because of family business!" a deep, resonant voice rang out.
Everyone looked towards the doorway, where a burly man strode in.
"Congratulations, Marquis Yin Xue! Your family has gained another genius and entered the realm of honor. Your future achievements are limitless." The burly man slightly cupped his hands, his aura actually on par with that of Marquis Yin Xue.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Yin Xuehou's lips twitched, then a smile appeared on his face. "Brother Baiwei, you're really flattering me. Everyone knows that your Yingshan Clan produced a genius who comprehended a higher-level law at the Hengxing level. That's someone whose future is limitless!"
A surge of envy and jealousy welled up in his heart. Dragon Wing King had risen to power at the same time as him, but now the difference in their strength and the difference in their family power were enormous.
The Yingshan clan has a double-digit number of immortal deities, and the current "Yingshan Baiwei" has even been granted the title of Marquis by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, and his strength is almost catching up with that of a true Marquis-level immortal.
Now, another one, Ying Shan Li Yang, has emerged, comprehending a superior law at the Hengxing level. Although the matter of him becoming the master of the king has not yet been finalized, with this talent, that guy will definitely shine in the peak genius battle decades later.
"Haha~"
Ying Shan Baiwei laughed loudly, "No, no, today's protagonist is Miss Ji Qing. I heard in the Glory Secret Realm that a big shot thinks highly of her..."
The banquet began, and the room was full of guests.
Ying Shan Baiwei's arrival sparked discussion about Li Yang's talent. He had only cultivated for a few decades and yet had comprehended a superior law, making his talent many times stronger than Ji Qing's.
After all, the latter hadn't even scratched the surface of the higher-level laws; he was only specially recruited into the Glory Realm because he was noticed by a big shot while completing a special mission.
"Have you heard? That extraordinary genius of the Yingshan clan is so popular that even the king himself is going to take him on as a disciple!"
"The king is taking on disciples, doesn't that mean in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom...?"
"It's still far from certain; they've only expressed an intention to take on a disciple. The final outcome will depend on the young man's performance."
"No matter what, he is a genius who has entered the upper-level laws at the Hengxing level. It's time for our Qianwu Universe Kingdom to show its face in this year's Genius Battle."
"My God, a beginner-level advanced law at the Hengxing level! How long has it been since our Qianwu Universe Kingdom has produced such a genius?"
One of the realm lords from the Ji family asked with a smile, "Brothers, may I ask if this genius of the Yingshan clan you're talking about is the grandson of Yingshan Xueyang?"
"Yes, that's Ying Shan Xueyang's grandson. I have to say, she's incredibly lucky. Her husband was a genius, her son was a genius, and now her grandson is a genius too!"
"I heard you have a good relationship with Ying Shan Xueyang..."
"Um...it's actually not bad."
After exchanging pleasantries, Ji Boda turned and entered the side hall, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.
He immediately contacted Ji Landeng and summoned him over.
As the father of today's protagonist, Ji Qing, Ji Landeng's face was flushed from drinking. It was clear that he was a bit tipsy, having been drinking with a group of world lords while he was at the cosmic level.
"Grand Uncle, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to see me? Lady Manlu was just looking for me..."
Are you out of your mind?
Ji Boda's face was ashen. Pointing to the banquet inside the hall, he said, "Can't you hear who they're talking about?"
"Li Yang?" Ji Landeng frowned slightly. "I've heard about him. Isn't he just a genius from the Qianwu Secret Realm? Qingqing, on the other hand, has entered the core secret realms of the five major powers!"
"You know nothing! Ji Qing entered the Glory Realm because he gained the favor of that important figure. Li Yang, on the other hand, truly has the strength to enter the core of the five major powers, and even the king wants to take him as his disciple. In terms of talent, Ji Qing is not even a hair's breadth behind Li Yang!"
Ji Boda was furious. He grabbed Ji Landeng by the collar and hissed, "You bought Li Yang's valuable resources at a low price back then. He'll definitely find out about it later. Take advantage of the fact that he hasn't grown up yet..."
Ji Landeng paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "It wouldn't be necessary... to kill him, would it?"
"Idiot!" Ji Boda was speechless. "Do you think I'm a born killer? Who could possibly take down a genius like him?"
"Uncle, why don't you just say it directly!"
"Alright, then I'll be blunt." Ji Boda lowered his voice, "Go and return the money you swindled from him. I'll also provide some compensation to settle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the clan patriarch will hold a grudge..."
"Huh? I'll go return it..." Ji Landeng's pupils rolled. His daughter had just been promoted, and as her father, he had received a large reward, about 10 Hunyuan units. The money was still warm in his hands, so naturally he was reluctant to part with it.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll offer 90 mixed units."
Ji Boda went to great lengths, fearing that Li Yang would expose this matter, and that the clan ancestor would surely kidnap him and send him to the Yingshan clan, while Ji Landeng would have a way out because of his daughter's status.
