Chapter 344: The state of grandmaster
```
secrets of fate cannot be revealed?
what a pretentious fraud!
du ge muttered under his breath, but his face still wore a smile. "imperial teacher, i believe that man can conquer the heavens."
the imperial teacher chuckled. "then why is the imperial mentor not in control of his own fate?"
du ge was taken aback, suddenly realizing what the imperial teacher was hinting at—pan-universal entertainment company!
now, was it really only pan-universal entertainment company that could make him lose control?
had someone leaked the secrets of pan-universal entertainment company to the natives?
no, this guy was trying to trick him, wasn't he?
the barnum effect used in the constellation culture du ge created was just this kind of thing—using ambiguous language to guide the other person to think in the direction you wanted. in simple terms, it was about enticing the other person to fill in the blanks themselves.
upon closer thought, the imperial teacher hadn't actually said anything specific, yet du ge had already filled in pan-universal entertainment company in his mind, assuming the imperial teacher had figured everything out...
imperial teacher?
even the emperor could be fooled by him; this guy was a master of deception!
whether it was true or not, it was best to treat it as false for now. he couldn't let himself be fooled by a stranger.
du ge looked at the imperial teacher, feigning shock. his expression turned solemn as he sheathed his long sword. "imperial teacher, may i have a word with you in private?"
the imperial teacher turned and walked into the darkness, and du ge followed.
cao lin, with his intestines still hanging out, wanted to call out to du ge to heal him first, but he opened his mouth and ultimately didn't shout. if he called out and du ge ignored him, it would be even more embarrassing. he might as well use his own energy to heal himself!
zhang yizhi was pondering what the so-called secret of fate was and didn't follow them. he wasn't qualified to join the conversation between the big shots anyway.
...
under the night sky.
du ge and the imperial teacher stood under a pavilion in the backyard of the princess's residence, beneath which was a pond with fish.
the pond had water, which made du ge feel much more at ease. "imperial teacher, do you truly favor the fourth princess?"
the imperial teacher didn't mind du ge bringing him to the water's edge. he looked at du ge and smiled. "compared to the fourth princess, i favor the imperial mentor more. whoever the imperial mentor supports will be the ruler of this world. since the imperial mentor has chosen the fourth princess, she should rightfully be the empress."
du ge was silent for a moment before saying, "imperial teacher, your status is noble. it's hard for me to imagine that you would sincerely pledge your allegiance."
the imperial teacher said, "mr. leng, today i observed your battle with cao lin. if i had intervened during your fight, you would have surely lost. even if i didn't join forces with cao lin, just by attacking the fourth princess during your duel, i could have severely weakened you, leading to your eventual defeat by cao lin."
du ge gave a perfunctory bow to the imperial teacher. "in that case, i must thank the imperial teacher for sparing my life."
the path of water?
du ge looked at the pond in front of him. with a thought, a ball of water floated in his palm.
he stared at the water ball for a long time but couldn't sense any principles that could be combined with martial arts.
with a flick of his wrist, du ge tossed the water ball away.
in the last simulation field, he had indeed created a cultivation technique, but that was by brute force, relying on his strong physique, with no relation to enlightenment. for someone as quick-witted as him to forcefully comprehend the path of a grandmaster was truly difficult.
indeed.
each world's principles are different!
moreover, his water-controlling ability came from the power of poseidon, controlling water as naturally as eating or drinking, like knowing one plus one equals two.
knowing one plus one equals two is simple, but proving it is like solving goldbach's conjecture—an insurmountable task.
to become a grandmaster, one would need the spirit of wang yangming's investigation of things, not only the spirit but also actual results...
damn it!
the martial cultivation of this world is too fantastical...
du ge asked, "how long did it take the imperial teacher to become a grandmaster from the innate level?"
the imperial teacher said, "i traveled across mountains and rivers, observed the changing winds and clouds by day, and watched the stars at night. it took twelve years, and one night of sudden enlightenment to become a grandmaster."
"and cao lin?" du ge asked.
"ten years of battlefield experience, sudden enlightenment to become a grandmaster, and he comprehended the path of slaughter," the imperial teacher answered without reservation.
each of them took ten or twenty years; the time span is too long!
in that time, he could have cleared out the other alien star warriors and left this world.
however.
du ge was ultimately not resigned. he couldn't always stay by the river to fight others. without water, his combat power would be greatly reduced. what if he encountered a grandmaster?
he asked, "imperial teacher, who achieved grandmaster status in the shortest time?"
"qinglan sword saint!" the imperial teacher looked towards the direction of qinglan sword sect and said, "as far as i know, the current qinglan sword saint became a grandmaster at the age of 24. now, more than thirty years have passed since he became a grandmaster. his strength should have long surpassed the grandmaster level."
"what is the level beyond grandmaster?" du ge asked.
"the invincible level," the imperial teacher smiled, his gaze returning to du ge. "just like you in the water, no one can kill you. in the water, you are at the invincible level."
