Public classes by other instructors usually lasted one to three days.
Lu Qingshan went straight to the maximum—three full days and three nights!
Even Star Level students found it a bit much at this moment—not physical exhaustion, but fatigue of the spirit and soul.
For three full days, their brains were like hard drives running at overload, constantly receiving a massive flow of information.
Yet no one was willing to leave.
Unlike other instructors' courses, Lu Qingshan's lectures contained much practical content, even letting the students personally experience the wondrous power of the Lightning Origin Law.
Such opportunities were rare, and no one wanted to give it up.
On the final half-day, Lu Qingshan finally stopped lecturing, leaving time for questions as usual.
At that moment, the entire plaza fell into a strange silence. All the students were immersed in digesting the massive amount of new knowledge, and no one raised a hand.
Even Adams, who specialized in the Light Domain and had come to sit in, kept his eyes closed with a furrowed brow.
Not long after.
Adams suddenly opened his eyes, barely containing his joy: "Hailei! My doubts are resolved—before long, my Light Domain will surely break through to the third level!"
Hailei was amazed: "You didn't even ask a question, and your doubts are resolved?"
"Exactly!" Adams said excitedly. "Teacher Lu's analysis of domains is exquisitely subtle. When he explained the changes of the third level of domain, I substituted my own bottleneck in the Light Domain into it, and suddenly everything became clear—I found the solution."
"Congratulations, Adams—you're practically a genius!" Hailei said sincerely. "Reaching the third level of domain, your ranking in the dojo will rise several thousand places."
"Haha, Hailei, you'd better work hard—I'll catch up to you soon!" Adams excitedly thumped Hailei's shoulder.
"Want to surpass me? Not that simple—I gained no less than you this time..." Hailei chuckled, glancing across the plaza. "Look, those who gained aren't just the two of us."
Adams looked up and saw many students, like him just now, immersed in comprehension. Even a Light Domain student who was just sitting in could resolve his doubts—those majoring in Lightning would gain even more!
Hailei took a deep breath and said softly, "I feel… Teacher Lu's teaching level is already comparable to a Special-Class Instructor at the World Master level!"
"Hailei, we've never heard a Special-Class Instructor lecture, so how do you know what their level is?" Adams exclaimed.
Hailei shook his head. "I've never eaten pork, but I've seen a pig run. I have friends in the Qianwu Secret Realm, okay! They told me about how Special-Class Instructors teach in the secret realm."
"Fine, fine, we know you have wide connections. You really have no questions? Raise your hand now, and the instructor will surely notice you," Adams reminded.
"No," Hailei said, his eyes flickering slightly as he shook his head firmly, "not for now."
He knew he couldn't rush things. If he asked eagerly now, although the teacher would patiently answer, it would also wear away that precious impression.
Finally, a student began raising their hand to ask questions.
Lu Qingshan answered them one by one, patiently and meticulously.
Seven or eight students in a row, all stepping away with satisfied expressions.
This further convinced the students present that this newly arrived Teacher Lu was unfathomable.
After all, why else could he easily resolve every student's different questions?
This question is easy to explain.
In teaching experience, Lu Qingshan might not match a senior instructor. But his knowledge reserves were far beyond what an ordinary First-Class Instructor could compare to.
His comprehension of the Lightning Origin Law had reached nearly 6%, a height many World Masters had not reached.
More importantly, most of his law comprehension came from the System Return.
This made the laws he mastered, from low to high, step by step, perfect and comprehensive.
Like constructing a skyscraper, the System had laid the most solid, most standard foundation for him.
All changes spring from one source.
No matter how unique a student's Lightning Domain below was, or how it evolved, its core could not escape the basic branches of the Lightning Origin Law.
As for Lu Qingshan, he knew all those branches like the back of his hand.
He seemed born to be an instructor.
"Alright, class is over."
After answering the last student's question, Lu Qingshan stood up.
"The time of the next public class, I will notify you in advance in the Virtual Universe. After you return, digest this session's gains well. If you have questions, you can send me an email, but I might not reply..."
His gaze swept over Lei Ming in the crowd, then looked at Hailei, then he turned and left gracefully.
As soon as Lu Qingshan left, the silent plaza instantly erupted, and the students discussed heatedly.
"Teacher Lu explained too thoroughly. I'm at the fourth level of domain, and I thought I had fully understood the first three levels, but today I learned there are so many wonderful changes!"
"The bottleneck that troubled me for over a year, the instructor pointed it out in just a few words."
"Before, listening to other instructors, I always half-understood; this time I actually understood everything."
"We're really lucky to have switched to a knowledgeable and responsible good teacher."
"The Fire side is tragic—every instructor has an explosive temper, gets annoyed after lecturing for half a day, especially that Instructor Chi Yan, who scolds students as stupid when they ask questions..."
"Haha, I've heard that too. Now many students on the Fire side don't go to his class anymore."
Lu Qingshan's first public class was very successful—it not only caused a huge response among the students but also stirred a ripple among his colleagues, and this newly promoted First-Class Instructor's name had already been remembered by many colleagues.
Even Jimmy of the Personnel Department, while listening to others discuss, showed a curious expression.
He remembered that during Lu Qingshan's last assessment, he had only mastered a trace of the Lightning Law.
Returning to the manor's secret chamber.
Lu Qingshan immediately calmed himself to sense his own changes. After the lecture ended, the System gave no notification, but he vaguely felt he had gained something.
Law comprehension? Lightning, Light… neither had changed.
Will? Still the same as usual.
His body had changed a bit, but that was due to the fusion of the Thunder Source Crystal Stone, unrelated to this lecture.
So…
He examined carefully and finally caught a subtle difference—comprehension.
His comprehension seemed to have a slight, indescribable improvement!
Guiding students, gaining comprehension in return?
That explanation made sense. But the improvement was minuscule—so faint that Lu Qingshan even doubted it was an illusion.
But regardless, if he could truly improve his comprehension this way, it would be a tremendous boon for him.
Besides, he had another important gain.
He covered the whole venue with his domain. Besides letting the students experience it firsthand, his deeper purpose was to probe the potential of these geniuses!
The result was neither good nor bad—no disappointment, but no surprise either.
No first-class genius!
No second-class genius!
Third-class geniuses: besides his disciple Lei Ming, there were five others.
Among tens of thousands of elite students who had mastered domains, only six met the System's genius criteria—speaking volumes about their value.
Lu Qingshan had already deeply memorized the appearances of these few; if there was a chance in the future, perhaps he could take them as disciples.
Unfortunately, no first- or second-class geniuses… otherwise he would try to recruit them at all costs.
Lu Qingshan's gaze turned toward the Qianwu Secret Realm.
In the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, perhaps only there were the geniuses he needed.
