The four Blue Abyss Spirit Fruit trees outside belonged to King Xiren, and he had obtained them long ago in a secret realm on the Outer Battlefield.
If he had not taken Luo Fan as a disciple, King Xiren would still be fooling around on the Outer Battlefield.
Because he wanted to see his disciple, King Xiren returned.
He looked at Grandor with a faint, wounded gaze.
"Did you notice this long ago and not tell me?!"
King Xiren's voice was full of grievance.
He looked like a resentful wife who had discovered that her husband had been cheating for years and was now bringing the mistress home. (TL/N: wtf?)
Grandor could not withstand this stare. He averted his eyes and said,
"Ahem, I just wanted you to discover this surprise yourself."
"This kind of thing is more interesting when you notice it on your own."
In truth, Grandor mainly wanted to see King Xiren's shocked expression.
"How many times has our precious disciple's genetic level increased?"
King Xiren looked straight at Grandor as he asked.
He could sense that Luo Fan's genetic level was higher than his own.
However, he could not determine the exact number.
After all, he was not a Universe Master. He could not command time and space to directly inspect Luo Fan's physical condition.
He was not a potion master who specialized in bloodline serums either.
To determine Luo Fan's genetic level, the best method was to observe his power in real combat.
It had to be in reality.
In the Virtual Universe, everyone's genetic level was only onefold.
Grando pointed toward Luo Fan beside him.
"Look, your precious disciple is right here."
"Ask him yourself."
When King Xiren turned his gaze to him, Luo Fan spoke honestly.
"My genetic level has reached ten times that of an ordinary human."
When King Xiren heard this, he was once again shocked.
He had known Luo Fan's genetic level was higher than his own.
But he did not expect it to be higher by sixfold.
He knew very well that every additional fold of genetic level doubled strength, speed, defense, clarity of laws, and every other attribute.
As someone whose genetic level surpassed ordinary people, King Xiren understood how powerful such an advantage was.
With his fourfold genetic level, he cultivated much faster than Grando.
And it was also because of his fourfold genetic level that he had survived many dangers on the Outer Battlefield.
Yet his precious disciple was even more monstrous, reaching tenfold genetics.
After his shock came wild joy.
Luo Fan was his disciple. The stronger Luo Fan was, the happier King Xiren became.
"Good! Great! Excellent! Hahahaha!"
"If Hanhai and the others learn about this, they will be even more envious, hahahaha!"
After celebrating for a while, King Xiren spoke to Luo Fan solemnly.
"It is fine to report your tenfold genetic level to the company's upper management. It will actually make them value you more."
"But you absolutely cannot make this public."
"In front of ordinary geniuses and those below the company's King-ranked Immortal level, you must not reveal it."
"It is best not to reveal it even before King-ranked experts."
Luo Fan nodded to show that he understood.
Grandor had already warned him about this.
After all, increasing genetic level tempted even King-ranked experts, not to mention Venerables.
Many Venerables might not even reach tenfold genetics.
And Luo Fan did not obtain his genetic level by seizing a body or through a clone.
His physical body clearly belonged to an ordinary human bloodline.
So reaching tenfold genetics must have involved some treasure or special opportunity.
Those King-ranked experts and even Venerables, in their pursuit of power, would seek out Luo Fan for that opportunity even if there was only the slightest chance.
Right now, Luo Fan was still too weak, and the Virtual Universe Company did not regard him as highly important.
Thus King Xiren instructed him to keep it hidden.
"It seems we truly underestimated your talent."
King Xiren sighed with emotion.
At this moment, Grandor spoke from the side in a subdued tone.
"You need to know one thing. This little fellow is only in his thirties."
King Xiren fell silent again.
Thirty… years?
What kind of unit was that?
Oh, there was no additional quantity unit after it. Then it was fine.
It had been far too long since King Xiren had heard such a small age.
This age was not even a fraction of his own.
Most geniuses participating in the Universe Genius Battle were several hundred years old.
A few were even over a thousand.
In truth, neither King Xiren nor Grandor knew that in the thirty-some years of his life, Luo Fan had taken less than fifteen years to advance from an ordinary human to his current level.
King Xiren shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He waved his hand.
The next moment, a selection of spirit fruits and spirit wine appeared in front of Luo Fan.
"Since we are in reality right now, ask any questions directly."
"You just finished comprehending the Ice Peak Chaos Stele. You should have quite a few questions."
Hearing this, Luo Fan was about to voice his questions.
But King Xiren stopped him.
Then Luo Fan felt himself rising into the air.
"We will go to the rooftop. We can see the manifested laws from there."
"That will make the explanations clearer."
Soon, the three of them reached the rooftop.
"These spirit fruits taste good. You should eat some too."
Only now did Luo Fan notice that the spirit fruits before him included the Blue Abyss Spirit Fruit he had seen earlier.
Of course, given King Xiren's age, he must have harvested these fruits countless times.
He would not be lacking in them.
Luo Fan did not refuse. He picked up a Blue Abyss Spirit Fruit, ate it, and began asking his questions.
King Xiren answered while occasionally demonstrating the laws of the Ice Peak Chaos Stele.
Grandor sometimes added explanations as well.
Despite being a potion master, he was a peak King-ranked Immortal expert.
Naturally, his comprehension of the laws was impressive.
He had already comprehended the profound mysteries of Spatial Teleportation and Spatial Lock.
As long as he mastered one more profound mystery, he would possess the power of a King-ranked extreme expert.
So his understanding of the laws was quite strong.
Thus the three of them sat on the rooftop for three days.
During this period, Luo Fan gained tremendously.
His mastery of the eighth essence of the Space Origin Law increased by another three percent.
He was confident that once he returned and received the comprehension reward from the Ice Peak Chaos Stele, he would certainly fully master the eighth essence.
His gains were so great mainly because his Space Worm Clone and Mechanical Clan Clone listened to the teachers' guidance while comparing it with the copied first diagram of the Ice Peak Chaos Stele.
Three days passed like this.
All of Luo Fan's questions were answered.
He was about to return to continue cultivating.
After all, time in Chaos City could not be wasted.
At that moment, King Xiren stopped him.
"Wait. There is something else I want to give you."
