BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 305: Preparation to Return! Void Thunder God's Flash!

Upon hearing Gu He's words, Xiao Jin didn't immediately respond, just chuckling nervously while occasionally glancing at Liu Ling.

Seeing this, Liu Ling frantically signaled to Xiao Jin with his eyes.

"As long as it's master's command, Xiao Jin doesn't feel it's difficult at all." Responding to Liu Ling's hint, Xiao Jin shook his head and said very obediently.

"Very well, when you come back, I will reward you handsomely!"

After saying this, Gu He suddenly remembered something and pointed towards the imprisoned Queen Medusa in the distance, asking the two of them, "Why did Queen Medusa target you two just now?"

"Teacher, it all started because the Snake People's army launched a major attack on Stone Desert City. As the leader of all mercenaries in Stone Desert City, I naturally couldn't stand idly by. When I was no match for the Snake People's King of Fighters, Yue Mei, Xiao Jin appeared and captured the Snake Woman Yue Mei. After that, Queen Medusa came looking for us." Facing Gu He's inquiry, Liu Ling explained truthfully.

"I see, the Snake People couldn't contain themselves and started a war with the Jia Ma Empire!" Hearing Liu Ling's explanation, Gu He sighed softly.

Liu Ling's actions were definitely justified. Anyone couldn't just stand by and watch their own kind being harmed by outsiders.

However, the Snake People had deep grievances with the Jia Ma Empire. They were even forced to live in the barren Tagor Desert. At this point, they were powerful and wanted to wage war to fight for a more comfortable living environment for their people, which was understandable.

Objectively speaking, it was difficult to judge who was right or wrong.

...

"I didn't expect that in just a few months, Queen Medusa's cultivation has already broken through to five-star Dou Ancestor!"

When he noticed Queen Medusa's cultivation, Gu He was also surprised.

For an ordinary person to break through one star in the Dou Ancestor stage, it might take several years, or even decades, and there was no guarantee of success. Yet Queen Medusa had crossed two stars in just a few months, which was incredibly terrifying talent.

Gu He had previously planned to take Queen Medusa as his disciple, and now, seeing her cultivation progress, this idea became even stronger.

If he could take Queen Medusa as his disciple, perhaps his own cultivation would experience another rapid surge.

With this in mind, Gu He decided to implement the plan he had thought of earlier: to take Queen Medusa as his disciple under a different identity.

Having made up his mind, Gu He turned to Liu Ling and Xiao Jin and instructed, "Liu Ling, Xiao Jin, I'll temporarily confine Queen Medusa here until I come back in person to deal with her. During this time, the two of you should pay more attention to this area!"

"Yes!"

Liu Ling and Xiao Jin didn't question Gu He's words at all.

In the spatial prison, Queen Medusa, who was held captive by Gu He, felt particularly uneasy at this moment.

Facing Gu He, who had suppressed her with a flip of his hand, Queen Medusa had already felt a great deal of fear. When Gu He's gaze continued to focus on her, seemingly with some unknown intention, Queen Medusa's heart sank.

"Alas, I really underestimated the people of this world. I thought that breaking through to five-star Dou Ancestor would lead my clan to prosperity, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this after taking just one step." Queen Medusa sighed inwardly.

At this moment, what she was thinking was that if Gu He had any intention towards her, even if she had to self-destruct, she couldn't let Gu He succeed.

However, while Queen Medusa was guessing wildly, there was no intention from Gu He's side to come and deal with her.

Soon, half an hour passed, and under Queen Medusa's gaze, Gu He's figure suddenly disappeared from this world without any sign of energy fluctuations.

"What's going on? His disappearance, why is there no energy fluctuation at all? Could it be that the one who appeared just now wasn't his true body, but a temporary projection or clone formed by some magical means?"

As this thought crossed her mind, Queen Medusa's shock was beyond words.

That a projection or clone could possess such overwhelming power was unimaginable. How terrifying would his true body be?

...

Just after Gu He's projection disappeared from the sky outside Stone Desert City, deep in the rear mountains of the Jia Nan Academy, Gu He's true body had already stepped out of a small valley.

During this period of seclusion, Gu He had already assimilated all the cultivation he had returned from Zi Yan last time. At this moment, his cultivation had reached the peak of five-star Dou Venerate.

Although he hadn't reached the expected six-star Dou Venerate, Gu He was already very satisfied. With his current level of cultivation, except for a few reclusive experts, he could basically walk sideways in this northwest continent.

Before long, Gu He returned to the inner courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy and then headed towards his own small courtyard.

As he approached, the scene in the courtyard made Gu He's eyes light up.

In his line of sight, there was a row of very elegant and chic houses nestled in the courtyard. Around the houses, many rare flowers and plants were planted, and nearby, there was a not-too-small pond with several colorful little fish swimming in it.

Originally, before Gu He went into seclusion, the original house in the courtyard had been completely destroyed by the energy fluctuations caused by Zi Yan's breakthrough. Zi Yan had promised to repair it, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

However, upon closer inspection, Gu He felt that the style of the house was not like something that Zi Yan, who had a very straightforward personality, could have built. There must have been Han Yue's help.

However, no matter what, that little girl Zi Yan had indeed kept her promise and delivered on her words.

Sensing the aura of Zi Yan and Han Yue in the house, Gu He's figure flickered and appeared in the courtyard.

"Master, you've finally come out of seclusion!"

As soon as Gu He entered the courtyard, Zi Yan and Han Yue sensed the movement and excitedly ran out of the room.

"Master, the layout of this courtyard and the houses were designed and built by me and Junior Sister. What do you think?" Zi Yan blinked her big black eyes and asked eagerly.

"Not bad, I like this style very much! However, during this time, your cultivation hasn't made any progress, huh? Have you been slacking off again?" Gu He rubbed Zi Yan's head and said with a warm smile.

Hearing Gu He's words, Zi Yan's fair and delicate face instantly turned red, and she tugged at the hem of Gu He's pants, coquettishly saying, "Hehe, Master, it was just to repair the courtyard, which delayed me a bit. It's okay, besides, I'm already very strong now. Many of the elders in the academy can't beat me."

"You little girl, always finding excuses!" Seeing Zi Yan's cute and lovely appearance, Gu He couldn't help but smile wryly. Then, he turned his gaze to Han Yue behind Zi Yan.

"Han Yue, your cultivation has indeed made some progress recently!" Gu He said with great satisfaction.

"Master, your disciple had a fortunate breakthrough to the Second Star Douluo a few days ago." Han Yue replied humbly upon hearing Gu He's words.

"Sit down before me!" Gu He said with a smile on his face.

"Yes!"

Hearing Gu He's words, Han Yue knew that Gu He was likely going to transfer some of his power to her. Since there had already been one experience of power transfer, Han Yue was completely focused from the beginning.

After Han Yue was ready, Gu He gently placed his palm on Han Yue's smooth forehead, silently reciting, "System, transfer power to the sixth disciple, Han Yue."

As the energy continued to be transmitted from Gu He's palm to Han Yue, Han Yue's aura began to soar.

From just breaking through the Second Star Dou King realm, she instantly reached the peak of the Second Star Dou King, and then surged to the realm of the Third Star Dou King like a broken bamboo.

This cultivation improvement only slowed down after Han Yue broke through to the Sixth Star Dou King.

Sensing that Han Yue had reached her limit, Gu He promptly cut off the power transfer and withdrew his hand.

At that moment, a notification from the system sounded in Gu He's mind.

"Ding, detected that the host granted the sixth disciple Han Yue two days of cultivation. Congratulations, the host triggered a thousandfold return and gained five years of cultivation!"

(Note: These five years of cultivation correspond to the realm of the Five Star Dou King.)

"The five years of cultivation have been deposited into the system space. Host, please check."

"Just five years of cultivation? What can I do with that?" Gu He was slightly disappointed upon hearing the system's notification, but this disappointment was purely about the return of only five years of cultivation from the system and not directed towards Han Yue.

Gu He's cultivation had improved significantly since last time, so Han Yue being able to withstand two days of cultivation was already quite good.

Through this power transfer, Gu He's desire to take Queen Medusa as a disciple deepened. With Queen Medusa's Rainbow Sky Python constitution and her current Five Star Dou King cultivation, she would surely be able to endure for a long time.

After the power transfer, Gu He continued, "Han Yue, next, your master will teach you a body movement martial skill."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Upon hearing Gu He's words, Han Yue, still immersed in the joy of breakthrough, responded gratefully.

Then, Gu He once again placed his palm on Han Yue's forehead, and with a thought, he performed the technique of imparting knowledge, transmitting the Earth-ranked elementary body movement martial skill "Three Thousand Thunder Movements" he had collected from the Black Horn Domain, along with some of his own insights and understanding of it, to Han Yue.

In an instant, a flood of information rushed into Han Yue's mind and then dispersed with a bang.

Even though Han Yue was prepared for the massive amount of information, she was still shocked by it, but she diligently continued to absorb it.

After a moment, Gu He finally transferred all of the Three Thousand Thunder Movements and some insights to Han Yue.

After completing all of this, he slowly withdrew his palm.

At the same time, a notification from the system entered Gu He's mind.

"Ding, detected that the host has granted the sixth disciple Han Yue the Earth-ranked elementary body movement martial skill 'Three Thousand Thunder Movements.' Congratulations, the host triggered a ten thousandfold return and gained the Heaven-ranked elementary body movement martial skill 'Void Thunder God Flash'!"

"The Heaven-ranked elementary body movement martial skill 'Void Thunder God Flash' has been deposited into the system space. Host, please check!"

As the system notification sounded in his mind, Gu He was slightly stunned, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.

A ten thousandfold return!

A Heaven-ranked elementary body movement martial skill!

Void Thunder God Flash!

You know, with the Earth-ranked advanced body movement martial skill "Ascension Steps," Gu He was able to slip away before the Flame Lizardmen of the Half-Saint cultivation level even reacted. Now, obtaining the even more advanced body movement martial skill Void Thunder God Flash, his speed would reach a terrifying level.

"Huh!"

While Gu He was excited about obtaining the Heaven-ranked elementary body movement martial skill Void Thunder God Flash, Han Yue made a soft exclamation.

"Master, the body movement martial skill you just taught me, Three Thousand Thunder Movements, isn't that from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion? It's considered a secret of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Could it be that you're from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?" Han Yue raised her head, her face full of doubt.

Upon hearing Han Yue's question, Gu He snapped out of his joy of obtaining the Void Thunder God Flash.

This girl, Han Yue, was from the Central Plains, and her family's city was under the jurisdiction of the Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion, so naturally, she would have heard of the prestigious body movement martial skill, Three Thousand Thunder Movements.

"I am not from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. The Three Thousand Thunder Movements martial skill was acquired by chance by me!" Gu He said frankly.

"Ah, Master, the Three Thousand Thunder Movements are a secret of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. If others practice it and are discovered by the people of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, they might..." Han Yue's eyes showed some worry.

"Well, if you're worried, you can treat this martial skill as a trump card and only use it when necessary!" Gu He offered a suggestion.

He didn't say things like, "Just a Wind and Thunder Pavilion, you don't need to worry too much, my disciple!" Because saying that would be equivalent to directly revealing his own cultivation level to his two disciples. If they became arrogant because of their cultivation levels, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, it was good for them to develop a sense of awe for this world.

"I'll remember, Master!"

Upon hearing Gu He's suggestion, Han Yue pondered for a moment and then relaxed. Because when it came to using such advanced martial skills in a dire situation, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion wouldn't matter anymore.

"Mm!" Seeing Han Yue's acceptance, Gu He nodded very satisfied.

After comforting Han Yue, Gu He's mind moved, immediately sinking into the system space.

At this moment, in the system space, there was a silver sphere several zhang in size suspended within it.

Was this the Heaven-ranked elementary body movement martial skill, Void Thunder God Flash?

Looking at the silver sphere in the void, excitement filled Gu He's eyes.

Within this silver sphere was a power very familiar to Gu He after his breakthrough to the Dou Ancestor level—the power of space. Besides the power of space, this silver sphere also contained a powerful thunder force.

I wonder what kind of effect this Void Thunder God Flash has?

Filled with excitement, Gu He didn't hesitate at all, directly thinking in his mind, "System, begin extracting the Void Thunder God Flash."

The moment Gu He's words fell in his mind, the silver sphere immediately shot out like an arrow, directly rushing into Gu He's body.

PS—It's the fourteenth today, so there's a bit much going on, hence the delay in updating.
