"Are you... willing to expose yourself to the gaze of everyone at Star River University?"
Lu Sheng was somewhat perplexed by Gumo’s words.
Expose yourself to the gaze of everyone at Star River University?
Seeing Lu Sheng’s confusion, Gumo explained, "Transcendents of the fifth tier and above at Star River University often have to cooperate with students from other factions within the school, or with people from two other major galactic forces, to jointly take on missions. They either fight against alien species on the front lines or complete some highly challenging tasks."
"After all, a fifth-tier Transcendent is considered a local emperor in their planetary region, and their combat power is far stronger than that of a fourth-tier Transcendent."
"But ever since you became a fifth-tier Transcendent, you haven’t left your mountain refuge, nor have you completed any cooperative missions."
"I want you to step out of the Life Factions and take on some fifth-tier missions. With your talent, you’ll quickly make a name for yourself at Star River University. Besides, the stellar techniques you’ve comprehended can’t achieve Perfection behind closed doors."
"I also saw that the stellar techniques you recently comprehended are filled with slaughter power. Such stellar techniques usually require the tempering of battles to quickly reach Perfection."
Listening to Gumo, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but nod.
After all, he had already comprehended two stellar techniques. Next was to gradually enhance the realm of these two techniques through the abilities shown on his system panel.
Although his two stellar techniques were derived from those of Gumo and Liu Yao, their nature was somewhat different. They might provide some references but couldn’t completely guide him.
Going out for training, tempering his skills through battles to enhance his stellar techniques’ levels seemed like a good direction.
"Besides, once your reputation is established, the attention from other factions, and even some Cosmic Alien Races, will fall on you. This will lessen the focus on Liu Yao, giving her a better chance to break through the seventh tier!"
Gumo looked at Lu Sheng and continued.
"Of course, I know being in the eyes of the public isn’t always good, but don’t worry. As long as I’m still in the Life Factions, I can ensure your safety!"
As Gumo spoke, a strong aura of confidence emerged from him.
As a Transcendent about to break through the eighth tier, Gumo indeed had the confidence to say such things.
Gumo’s words made Lu Sheng feel a bit motivated.
Lu Sheng knew clearly that to improve his strength next, enhancing the levels of his two stellar techniques through actual combat was crucial.
Only in this way could he rely on the system panel’s abilities to break through the sixth tier within twenty years, better dealing with any crises during the tumultuous period after Gumo leaves.
Moreover, since Gumo promised to ensure his safety, Lu Sheng naturally had no concerns.
Within the Seal of Brilliance, there were already three life-saving measures left by Liu Yao. Unless facing a seventh-tier master, most crises could be resolved.
Not to mention, Gumo also left a life-saving measure. Even if facing a seventh-tier master, it could still be resolved.
As for anything more...
Lu Sheng didn’t think a small fifth-tier Transcendent like him could attract the attention of eighth-tier masters.
Unless he really had a death wish.
After a brief contemplation, Lu Sheng had no more concerns and nodded towards Gumo.
Seeing Lu Sheng nod, Gumo’s eyes brightened, and he almost couldn’t help but laugh, feeling as if he had achieved his goal.
"Ahem, since you’re willing, I have some task recommendations for you."
With that, Gumo took out his watch and sent Lu Sheng a task recommendation.
Lu Sheng opened his watch and checked Gumo’s recommended task.
[Intermediate Task: Exterminate the Space Ghost race on Main Star No. 859]
[Task Overview: Main Star No. 859 is a small main star of the Space Ghost race, guarded by several fifth-tier Space Ghosts. It requires five fifth-tier Transcendents to complete together.]
After glancing at the task introduction, Lu Sheng slightly raised an eyebrow and looked at Gumo.
At this moment, Gumo explained, "Your current Five Elements stellar technique has just comprehended a Gold Attribute move. Exterminating the Space Ghost race will help you understand this move."
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng understood and immediately applied for the task on his watch.
Soon, the Star River University task center sent Lu Sheng a gathering point. Since it was a university task involving students from other factions, they would usually gather at a unified location before heading to the task site to complete it.
After completing all this, Lu Sheng said to Gumo, "Then, Mentor... I’ll go complete the task?"
With a smile, Gumo nodded slightly at Lu Sheng, "Go ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng didn’t linger any longer and directly turned to leave Gumo’s training ground.
Watching Lu Sheng’s figure disappear, Gumo couldn’t hold it in any longer. He eagerly found the forum center of Star River University on his watch.
Then, adeptly, he created a new account and immediately posted a message.
"A List of the Top 100 Most Outstanding Talents in the History of Star River University!"
In this post, Gumo directly included Lu Sheng’s name. After finishing the edit, Gumo clicked send.
After doing all this, Gumo chuckled, "After all the groundwork, I finally made that brat believe."
"Covering for Liu Yao is indeed part of the reason."
"But the most crucial thing is that with such good talent, how can I not show off and bring glory to the Life Factions? And how else can I boost my reputation?"
