Chapter 125: What Kind of Top Student Speech Is This?

You sat on it and just sensed it?
Good grief, you two mean to tell me there was no process of sensing at all?
As soon as you touched the meditation cushion, you immediately sensed where the Origin was?!
What kind of "straight-A student" talk is this?!
Song Qi was speechless.
Lu Bu’s words reminded him of the times back in high school when he would ask the top students for help.
He would approach a straight-A student with a difficult geometry problem.
The student would take one look, casually draw an auxiliary line, and solve it in a few quick steps.
When Song Qi asked how they knew to draw the line there, they would simply reply:
"Isn't it obvious?"
Obvious...
Just like the "it is easily derived" found in answer keys, it was a phrase Song Qi could never truly grasp.
Even the looks on their faces were the same as those of the top students—a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.
It was as if they were asking him why he would even need to ask such a self-evident question, filled with incomprehension at his lack of ability.
"Forget it."
Song Qi abandoned the idea of seeking advice from them and started to ponder on his own.
Lu Bu scratched his head, unsure of what he had said wrong. He exchanged a look with Ying Zheng, and they both realized they were right—everyone felt the world’s origin the moment they sat down. Did this meditation cushion not include that function?
...
Twelve hours passed in a blink.
Old Mu and Li Zong appeared right on time.

At this moment, Song Qi was still sitting on the cushion, lost in deep thought, but he hadn't managed to sense even a shred of the so-called world origin.
"It seems you gained nothing," Old Mu said with a smile.
Li Zong nodded. "Brother Song is still too low-level. His soul and body haven't reached the state of perfection required to touch the Origin; it’s perfectly normal. However, with your aptitude, you should be able to trigger it naturally once you reach level 60."
The two stepped forward and tapped Song Qi to wake him from his meditation. Seeing their faces, Song Qi knew his time on the cushion had expired. He sighed.
"You're here. Sigh... actually, tonight I..."
Old Mu quickly made a hush gesture, cutting Song Qi off.
"Shh! You don't need to explain or clarify anything to us. Whether you succeeded or not, there is no need to report it. Your status is now that of the Human Race's top genius, equivalent to that of a City Lord! Any changes to your skills or strength need not be reported to anyone. Even if I were to ask, you have the right to refuse!"
Song Qi was startled. "Is it that serious? Alright, I understand."
"Do you have any other questions regarding 'rules' or 'origins'?" Old Mu asked.
"Yes! I do have a question!" Song Qi suddenly remembered. "I want to ask, if one were to fill a skill's model entirely with the world's origin, how many units would it take? And what is the next step or realm after that?"
Old Mu looked puzzled for a moment, but eventually spoke up. "That is a bit too far off for you, but since you asked, I will tell you. To fill a single skill, you need 108,000 units of the world's origin. This is the figure Emperor Li Er personally told us back then."

"As for what it represents once a skill model is filled, it signifies your extreme familiarity with the 'rules'! According to Emperor Li Er, once someone reaches this limit, the next realm allows one to reach out and utilize the world's origin directly. However, the Emperor never gave that realm a name, so we call it... the Supreme Realm!!!"
Song Qi was struck by a realization!
108,000 units?! The Supreme Realm!?
Does that mean Di Xin is infinitely close to this state? After all, Di Xin has already filled all his skill models with the Origin!
Following the method Lu Bu and Ying Zheng used to break their seals, perhaps I need to find a way to break through to the Supreme Realm to undo Di Xin's seal?
He felt enlightened, as if he had finally grasped something.
"I see. I understand now."
"Any other questions? Since we have time today, I can answer them all at once."
"No, thank you, Old Mu."
"In that case, we have something else." Old Mu turned to look at Li Zong.
Li Zong stepped forward and handed over a jade stone engraved with complex, mysterious runes.
"Brother Song, this is an amulet that Old Mu and I specially made for you last night. Although it is a one-time-use item, its strength is sufficient to withstand three attacks from a City Lord-level powerhouse! Given your recent rise to fame, you may be targeted by demons or traitors of the human race. It would be best to keep it with you at all times. Even if you encounter danger, it will increase your chances of survival."
Song Qi took the jade. It felt cold to the touch, and a strange energy constantly emanated from it. He didn't overthink it, thanked them, and casually hung the jade at his waist.
The two gave him a few more specific safety instructions before Old Mu opened a portal and sent Song Qi away.
