First Public Class

For two days and nights without sleep or rest, Lu Qingshan was completely immersed in comprehending the Lightning Origin Law. At this moment, he truly savored the intoxicating joy of comprehending laws. Just like a top student in his previous life solving a difficult problem, gaining joy and a sense of achievement. Comprehending laws was no different! Comprehending laws was an endless process of solving cosmic-level problems, one after another. And the breakthrough feeling brought by rising difficulty gave an ultimate pleasure like leveling up. A happiness a poor student could never imagine. As his consciousness returned to reality, Lu Qingshan exhaled freely. Had Nesethes not reminded him that the public class was about to begin, he might still have been adrift in that ocean of laws. "Genius... is this what it feels like to be a genius?" He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. No wonder the saying went that those more talented than you were often harder working. Because even if fools worked hard, it was useless! The gains of just two days were comparable to a year of hard cultivation from the past; Lu Qingshan felt thoroughly exhilarated, even experiencing an addictive pleasure. "Nesethes, how long until the public class begins?" "Master, twenty-three minutes." "Hmm." Lu Qingshan collected his thoughts; this was his first time lecturing, so he needed to be serious. He quickly organized his thoughts and did some simple lesson preparation, so as not to leave a bad impression on the students. After all, a large-scale public class was beneficial to him as well, even though he didn't quite understand what those benefits were. As Lu Qingshan prepared his lessons at the manor, tens of thousands of Star Level and Planet Level genius students had already gathered in the elite area of Qianwu Dojo. Instructors gave only three public classes a year; the opportunity was precious, and no one wanted to miss it. Especially since this was reportedly a new instructor. "Adams? Why are you here?" A familiar voice rang out—Hailei, whom Lu Qingshan had met once in the Virtual Universe. He walked over and sat beside Adams. "Shouldn't this be the Lightning Domain instructor's class?" "Hailei, you don't know? The new instructor isn't simple!" Adams said in a low voice. "I've read his introduction. He not only masters the Lightning Domain but has also reached the ninth level of the Light Domain! I've been stuck at the bottleneck of the second level of the Light Domain for a long time, and I've accumulated many questions. If I'm lucky enough to be called on during the Q&A, I want to ask the instructor about the Light Domain..." With a hint of expectation in his eyes: "The instructor specializes in lightning, so students asking questions probably focus on the Lightning Domain. My unconventional question might instead get a more detailed answer." Hailei laughed: "Haha, your calculations are crackling, but with tens of thousands of students on site, Q&A time is at most half a day... it depends on whether you have that luck." "That's all I can do." Adams shrugged helplessly, then leaned closer to Hailei, speaking gossip: "Heard there's a fierce newcomer on your Lightning Domain side? Yesterday he challenged and defeated Aaron?" "Your news is pretty well-informed!" Hailei lowered his voice and quietly pointed to a horned youth sitting alone not far away. "That's him, named Lei Ming. A few days ago when he first arrived, he had a conflict with Aaron and was beaten pretty badly. Who would have thought that in just a few days, he broke through to Star Level Eighth Stage, and his domain rose to the fourth level! He beat Aaron... tsk tsk." He reminded: "Next time you run into this guy, be careful; don't blame me for not warning you if you get beaten. Though I hear he's not a bad person; that time, Aaron's subordinates provoked first, wanting to set rules for the newcomer." The horned youth was not far away, so Hailei and Adams didn't dare say more and tactfully changed the subject. "Do you still remember that Two-Leaf Qianwu Practitioner we met in the Virtual Universe ten years ago? Have you found any news yet?" Adams asked curiously, knowing his friend had been thinking of that expert. "No..." Hailei shook his head. "I asked the elders in my family; none of them know him. He's probably a newly promoted Qianwu Practitioner, possibly sent to guard a branch dojo somewhere." "What a pity," Adams said regretfully. "That expert seemed to think highly of you back then. If you could get his guidance, your strength..." "Hard," Hailei said with a bitter smile. Although they were elite dojo students, and Star Level experts had domains, it was still very difficult to get a First-Class Instructor's guidance at any time; only public classes offered a chance. Unless they were accepted as personal disciples, they might be brought close to be taught. However, at the dojo headquarters, besides those few top students and true prodigies absorbed into the Qianwu Secret Realm, how many could catch an instructor's eye? ... "The instructor is here!" Someone shouted, and the noisy plaza instantly fell silent. Under everyone's gaze, a handsome man wearing a purple robe with two golden leaves embroidered on his chest walked slowly forward. A Two-Leaf Qianwu Practitioner appearing in the teaching area spoke volumes about his identity. Hailei and Adams looked up at the same time, and both were stunned. "Hailei, am I seeing this right?" Adams felt it was unbelievable; he blinked hard and tugged at Hailei. "Adams, calm down! I saw it!" Hailei took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, excitement hard to hide on his face. The expert they had just been discussing had actually become their instructor! "Hailei, the instructor saw us!" Adams said incoherently. Hailei tried to calm himself; the instructor was an expert among Domain Masters, so spotting them among tens of thousands of students was effortless. He couldn't get too excited; if the instructor remembered him, he would surely come find him... On the high platform. Lu Qingshan stood in the center, his gaze sweeping over the tens of thousands of Star Level students arrayed in a fan shape. Those who could enter Qianwu Dojo Headquarters and be rated as elite geniuses, without exception, all had domains. "Greetings, everyone," his clear voice spread across the plaza. "I am your new instructor, Lu Qingshan. From now on, call me Teacher Lu." "Today is my first public class. Regardless of your progress, I will start from the first level of domains..." ... "First, I want to talk about the birth of domains..." Lu Qingshan's voice carried a strange cadence. "Domains cannot be obtained directly by cultivating techniques; at least within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, no such technique should exist." "A domain is the sublimation of intent, the transformation after intent comprehension reaches its peak. Its birth is often related to comprehending heaven and earth, unity of man and nature, or experiencing great enlightenment and the cycle of life and death... There are tens of thousands of students below you; I dare say no two people's domain birth processes are exactly the same." Lu Qingshan raised his hand, and a processed battle image appeared before everyone. This was Lei Ming's battle on Huancai Star, though the appearances of both combatants had been directly erased by Lu Qingshan. That domain birth was quite classic, perfect as teaching material. "Life-or-death combat is the most direct, most dangerous, but often most effective method to give birth to a domain. Other paths require higher standards..." Lu Qingshan explained the essence and birth of domains in simple terms. This also told those geniuses below that to cultivate a domain, they first had to know what a domain was! For many, the birth of a domain was often related to accidents, causing many geniuses, even with domains, to know only the 'what' but not the 'why'. This made it easy to fall into a predicament. "After a domain is born, comes improvement. How to improve? The best way lies in comprehending its path of change." As his voice fell, a dim light rose around Lu Qingshan. An initial domain prototype quietly appeared, then began to evolve. First level, second level, third level... The domain level rose step by step, its coverage expanded rapidly, finally enveloping all tens of thousands of students in the entire plaza. If Lu Qingshan were a spy of another race, at this moment a single thought could reduce these tens of thousands of geniuses to ashes. Of course, Lu Qingshan joining Qianwu Dojo and becoming a First-Class Instructor had undergone strict screening; no such problem existed. Only by being present could one grasp the true meaning. Lu Qingshan explained in detail while simultaneously demonstrating each level change of the domain. A domain thousands or tens of thousands of times larger than an ordinary student's flashed with a dim purple light. All students held their breath and focused, afraid to miss a single detail. Someone who was momentarily distracted would, upon looking up, terrifiedly find they could no longer keep up with the lecture rhythm; the subsequent content was like heavenly script. Some smart students hastily memorized everything, saving it for later comprehension when their realms improved. The domain reached the eighth level, ninth level... Vast thunderlight completely submerged the entire giant plaza. "Such a terrifying domain!" Countless students were shaken in their hearts. They had experienced other instructors' domains before, but never one as terrifying as Teacher Lu Qingshan's before them. The commotion here was great; even instructors teaching in distant plazas stopped their explanations and looked in astonishment at this sea of thunder. This instructor's teaching method seemed... somewhat special... After domains came laws... Lu Qingshan's domain slowly shrank and condensed, finally transforming into a crystal-clear lotus with flowing purple light, slowly floating up, like a giant lotus pedestal, quietly suspended in the high sky. The students, as if waking from a dream, gazed foolishly at that purple lotus, as if witnessing the most beautiful scenery in the universe! "Law... Lightning Origin Law!" Several instructors in the distance showed expressions of surprise: "This new instructor Lu Qingshan's comprehension of the Lightning Law is actually so profound!" As fellow First-Class Instructors, most of them mastered one law; precisely because they understood, they knew how terrifying this new instructor's control over the Lightning Origin Law was! This was a level they could never reach. The students, though they hadn't mastered laws, could clearly feel the vast law power contained in the purple lotus; their shock was beyond words. This new teacher had completely conquered them with his profound knowledge. ... Lu Qingshan lectured for a day and a night straight; the students below not only didn't decrease, but were quietly increasing. Many students not in the lightning direction came drawn by his reputation, wanting to catch a glimpse of this new instructor's style.
