Open up and break into another world

“Ming-ge, please, just give the order!” Luo Shui said without hesitation.

“Mm!” Xu Ming nodded, thought for a moment, and said, “I have a secret skill that can greatly stimulate a person's potential! For example, if you are currently a Rank Two Heaven Defying genius, if I use this secret skill on you, it should be able to make you a Rank Three Heaven Defying, or even a Heaven Defying Limit!”

“What!?” Luo Shui looked at Xu Ming in disbelief, “There’s such a secret skill!?”

Xu Ming smiled mysteriously.

Secret skill?

In fact, Xu Ming didn't have any secret skill; however, Xu Ming did have a cheat-like function—Genius Cultivation!

Genius Cultivation: Can cultivate and control super geniuses! The super genius being cultivated will become the most dazzling existence; moreover, no matter how high their future achievements are, they will be absolutely loyal to the host! Currently, there are two Genius Cultivation slots available!

The “Genius Cultivation” cheat can only be used on super geniuses; it cannot be used on ordinary geniuses! Luo Shui is a Rank Two Heaven Defying genius, the most top-tier genius of an entire era in the entire Heaven Offering World; he is qualified to receive the cultivation of the “Genius Cultivation” cheat!

And Xu Ming also intended to cultivate Luo Shui.

However, Xu Ming certainly couldn't tell Luo Shui that he was going to use a cheat; so, he made up a lie, saying that he had a secret skill to stimulate people's potential.

Luo Shui was both shocked and expectant: “If I could become a Rank Three Heaven Defying, or even a Heaven Defying Limit genius…”

Which genius wouldn't want to become the most dazzling and eye-catching existence?

“Ming-ge… are you going to use this secret skill on me!?” Luo Shui asked somewhat excitedly.

“Don't rush! Let me finish!” Xu Ming continued, “Although this secret skill can stimulate a person's potential, it also has a huge drawback!”

“Yes!” Luo Shui listened carefully.

“If I use this secret skill on you, then, deep in your heart, my mark may be branded! In the future, you will be loyal to me!” Xu Ming said directly, “Whether or not you want me to use this secret skill on you, decide for yourself!”

“So that’s how it is…” Luo Shui understood, “Then, please use this secret skill on me, Ming-ge!”

When Luo Shui said these words, he hardly considered it!

Eternally loyal to Xu Ming? In Luo Shui's eyes, this wasn't a drawback at all; after all, Xu Ming was Luo Shui's most admired figure!

“Oh?” Xu Ming looked at him with some surprise, “Have you thought it through clearly!”

“Very clearly!” Luo Shui said with utmost certainty.

“Alright then…”

Xu Ming led Luo Shui into the room. He casually set up a restriction around them, and then, he activated the “Genius Cultivation” cheat.

Xu Ming's palm covered the crown of Luo Shui's head; it was as if an elder was lovingly stroking Luo Shui's head.

Immediately afterward, this palm began to emit starlight. Countless stars of light swirled above Luo Shui's head and gradually seeped into Luo Shui's body.

Luo Shui's entire being, from the outside to the inside, from his divine body to his soul, and then to his heart, was undergoing rapid transformation. His divine body became more and more crystalline and translucent, like uncut jade; the look in his eyes also exuded an increasingly intense piety.

This was piety towards Xu Ming!

After a little more than half an hour, the starlight in Xu Ming's palm dissipated. At this time, Luo Shui's aptitude had already been changed to an unbelievable extent!

Now, Luo Shui's strength had already reached the Rank Three Heaven Defying level; in the future, as time passed, Luo Shui would definitely become more dazzling as he matured—becoming a Heaven Defying Limit genius would only require a little time!

Being so lovingly caressed by the palm of “Palm God” Xu Ming; Luo Shui's future was destined to be infinitely glorious and dazzling!

……

Cultivating Luo Shui was just a casual act for Xu Ming.

Xu Ming didn't expect Luo Shui to bring him any returns in the future. After all, Luo Shui was already much weaker than Xu Ming now; as time passed, the gap between him and Xu Ming would definitely widen and soon become unbridgeable.

Three days later.

“Ming-ge, Third Young Master wants us to go to a gathering!” Luo Shui ran to Xu Ming and shouted.

“Oh? What’s the matter?” Xu Ming asked in confusion—gatherings were usually arranged when something was up.

Luo Shui said: “Third Young Master has recruited another Heaven Defying genius, and he's at the Half-Step Sealing King cultivation level!”

Half-Step Sealing King was the highest cultivation level allowed to participate in the Heaven Offering Assembly!

Soon, Xu Ming saw a skeletal figure in the banquet hall; his eyes were extremely arrogant, as if no one could enter his eyes.

After all, mercenary missions weren't only available to Xu Ming; as long as someone obtained the “Myriad Realms Token,” they could all do mercenary missions.

“Nice to meet you!” Xu Ming smiled and cupped his fist.

“Hmph!” Gu Xian glanced at Xu Ming disdainfully, without returning the greeting, “Silver Moon Rank Four?”

The newest novels are at l 6 9 s h u b a . c o m !

Gu Xian didn't continue speaking, but his contempt was already fully displayed.

Mu Zifan's expression immediately changed—Xu Ming was his hope for a turnaround! Gu Xian not giving Xu Ming face was the same as not giving Mu Zifan face!

Luo Shui, who was completely loyal to Xu Ming, directly roared at Gu Xian: “You’re at least a Half-Step Sealing King expert, don’t you even understand basic etiquette? Ming-ge cupped his fist to you as a greeting, don’t you know how to return the greeting?”

“Hmm!?” Gu Xian's face darkened, “Where did this brat come from, daring to reprimand me? Go die!!”

As he spoke, Gu Xian flipped his palm and directly slapped towards Luo Shui.

“Impudent!!” Mu Zifan finally couldn't bear it any longer, his aura turned cold, and the space within the entire banquet hall seemed to freeze and solidify.

Mu Zifan was an Emperor-level Great Power, and when he made a move, Gu Xian's palm immediately froze in mid-air, unable to move forward even a bit.

Gu Xian's expression changed drastically: “Third Young Pavilion Master, is this your way of treating guests?”

Mu Zifan said coldly: “I invited you here to participate in the Heaven Offering Assembly, not to show off your power! I know you have a mission! If you want to continue the mission, I naturally welcome it; but if you think you can be impudent and mess around here, then you’re wrong!”

Now, the most important thing for Mu Zifan was Xu Ming! This Gu Xian dared to despise Xu Ming, so Mu Zifan would naturally not be polite to him.

“Good! Good! Good!” Gu Xian wasn't an easy character either, and he immediately turned hostile, “Mu Zifan, no wonder I heard you say just now that you can’t recruit many Heaven Defying geniuses; and they’re all just Silver Moon Rank Four, Silver Moon Rank Five nobodies! With your way of treating guests, it’s no wonder experts are willing to come here!”

Gu Xian still didn't know that Xu Ming was a Heaven Defying Limit genius; he still thought that Xu Ming was just an ordinary Heaven Defying genius. Therefore, he would be contemptuous and disdainful towards Xu Ming, and would regard Xu Ming as a nobody.

“You…” Mu Zifan was immediately furious. However, due to the restriction in the mercenary system that “employers may not harm mercenaries,” he could only endure his anger.

“Hmph! I’m not doing this mission anymore!” Gu Xian directly got up and strode towards the door, “Mu Zifan, I originally wanted to help you change your position within the Muxi Pavilion! Now it seems, you’re destined to never turn things around! We’ll meet again!”
