But a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Only one year... and you’ve already comprehended it?"

As soon as Gumo’s words fell, a powerful aura suddenly surged from Lu Sheng’s body.

Accompanied by a burst of the Power of Slaughter, it descended abruptly!

At this moment, the Power of the Five Elements between Heaven and Earth seemed to be dismembered by some force, transforming into single attributes. Finally, countless strands of the Power of the Gold Attribute converged into a giant, heaven-piercing blade, floating in this world.

"This move... let’s call it Broken Realm Tribulation Dust!"

A faint voice emanated from Lu Sheng’s mouth.

A sharp burst of the Power of Slaughter descended abruptly, fiercely striking the world before him.

BOOOOM!!!

A series of explosions erupted instantly, and one could see that the ground in front of Lu Sheng had been suddenly cleaved away, exposing a square pit ten kilometers by ten kilometers in size.

The edges of the pit were extremely smooth, as if they had been forcibly cut by an incredibly sharp blade.

At this moment, Lu Sheng finally opened his eyes.

"Starting from the attributes of the Five Elements, the first move I comprehended was created using the materials of the Heaven and Earth Gold Attribute... Broken Realm Tribulation Dust!"

"As for the name of this stellar technique... let’s call it the Five Elements Return to Ruins Technique!"

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, and at the same time, the data of the Five Elements Star Suppressing Fist, Five Elements Body, and even the Five Elements Chaos Technique on the system panel were instantly erased.

Replaced by the Five Elements Return to Ruins Technique!

[Name: Lu Sheng]

[Occupation: Martial Artist]

[Realm: Undying Realm (63/100)]

[Five Elements Return to Ruins Technique: (1/100) LV1]

"Hmm? My cultivation progress increased by three points? But of course, this place is the training ground of Mentor Gumo, rich with intense Life Force and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Even though I merely comprehended my stellar technique, my cultivation was subtly enhanced!"

Looking at the system panel, Lu Sheng’s mouth showed a satisfied smile.

"Not bad!"

An old voice floated over from afar.

It was Gumo, smiling again, as he appeared before Lu Sheng.

"Mentor!"

Lu Sheng quickly stood up and bowed to Gumo.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mentor!"

Gumo waved his hand, "All of this is due to your extraordinary comprehension. This old man merely gave you a few pointers."

Although Gumo seemed indifferent on the surface, his heart was already filled with ecstatic joy.

"Hahaha, in less than thirty years of entry, you have comprehended the second stellar technique and reached the late stage of the Fifth Realm. Such a talent can’t be found in the entire history of Star River University, even slightly surpassing the former Emperor Bai."

"This boy... truly deserves to be the prodigy of my Life Factions!"

Inwardly ecstatic, Gumo lightly coughed and said to Lu Sheng, "Are you aware that the school is about to enter a turbulent period?"

Lu Sheng nodded. These things had already been told to him by Liu Yao, but he still had some doubts and couldn’t help asking.

"Mentor, why don’t you wait until Senior Sister breaks through to the Seventh Realm before leaving? If that were the case, our Life Factions wouldn’t have so many issues."

This was what Lu Sheng couldn’t understand the most.

Breaking through a realm wouldn’t result in any regression in cultivation, and this process could be controlled and postponed. Why did Gumo have to leave after twenty years?

Gumo waved his hand, showing a serious expression, "Our pursuit in the martial way is to have an open and free heart. The martial path is exceedingly long. If external affairs distracted me from my martial aspirations, I would never find peace."

"After all..."

Saying this, Gumo’s face showed a profound look, his hands behind his back, his head slightly tilted up at a forty-five-degree angle.

An image of a reclusive master.

"My pursuit of martial arts has long surpassed my care for the Life Factions. I have delayed my breakthrough opportunity for hundreds of years for the Life Factions, a time during which I have sacrificed once for the Life Factions as well. It also counts as caring for the Life Factions for many years."

"If I don’t break through this time, I fear that I will be unable to reach that realm in this life."

Gumo’s voice echoed, causing Lu Sheng to be slightly moved.

However, this image of a reclusive master that Gumo portrayed masked the cold laughter in his heart.

"This old man still has twenty years before leaving. In these twenty years, Yao’Er will surely break through to the Seventh Realm. Do they really think my personal disciple is for show?"

"If I don’t put up a front, how will I catch them? Even fishing requires bait, and for those old undead things, ordinary bait won’t do!"

"Even if Yao’Er doesn’t break through, so what?"

"Do they really think the heritage left by over a dozen mentors of the Life Factions is a joke? Do they think the Heaven-Reaching Vine of the Life Factions is useless?"

"Whoever comes will be beaten within an inch of their life!"

Outwardly, Gumo remained calm, but his heart was filled with cold laughter.

However, Lu Sheng was completely fooled by Gumo’s facade.

"Your pursuit of martial arts commands great respect from this disciple!"

Lu Sheng sighed, bowing to Gumo once more.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Gumo coughed awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed, but still managed to maintain a serious appearance as he spoke solemnly to Lu Sheng.
