While the online uproar was raging, the banquet at the Lingliu Empire was also preparing to end.

Ren Yongfeng just received the news online.

Seeing that Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo were about to leave, he quickly stepped forward and called out to Ling Luo, lowering his voice to say, "Your Highness, something has happened online. May I speak with you in private?"

Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue paused for a moment.

Seeing that Ren Yongfeng seemed to have something urgent to attend to, they left the banquet hall and went to a nearby small garden to talk.

Ren Yongfeng didn't waste any words and directly told Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue about what happened online.

Ling Luo paused upon hearing this.

To give Ling Luo a more direct understanding of the information online, Ren Yongfeng immediately handed his personal computer to her so she could see the comments from netizens.

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Ling Luo felt embarrassed to refuse and accepted it.

While Ling Luo was reading the comments, Ren Yongfeng looked at her, paused, and then said, "Regarding the new training methods, our research institute has also developed more than ten. The effects are about one-third better than the twenty or so training methods you had before. However, like the two training methods developed by the Niflü Empire Research Institute, although they are feasible, it seems that not many people are suitable for them, so they are not easy to promote. The reason I contacted you earlier was to discuss this matter with you."

Because there weren't many suitable candidates, they didn't announce their achievements to the public.

Ling Luo had already read some of the comments from netizens, and the content was similar to what Ren Yongfeng had just summarized for her.

She wasn't interested in watching any further, so she handed the computer back to him and said, "Okay, I understand."

Hearing Ren Yongfeng say this, Ling Luo felt that the cultivation method they had developed was basically the same as the cultivation method she had written separately for Ye Xingxue and the others.

However, compared to the cultivation techniques she specifically wrote based on Ye Xingxue and the others' individual constitutions, the effects seemed to be quite lacking...

However, they have made progress nonetheless.

As she thought of this, Ren Yongfeng said coldly, "The Niflü Empire wants to climb to the top by stepping on you. I just discussed it with the others in the research institute, and we plan to release our research results later, including your name. What do you think?"

He stopped Ling Luo, not only to tell her about the matter, but also to discuss with her how they should handle it.

Ling Luo was taken aback for a moment, knowing that Ren Yongfeng meant well, she shook her head and said, "No need."

Ren Yongfeng became anxious: "Your Highness, please don't be embarrassed. Over the years, you have helped the research institute a lot with training methods. Although you are not physically present at the research institute, in the hearts of many of us, you are considered a member of the institute. These achievements are partly due to your contributions!"

Over the years, Ren Yongfeng would occasionally message her to ask questions, and she would reply to them one by one, although... it was always a long time before she would reply.

A few years ago, when she attended the anniversary celebration of the Dibuken Empire, she learned that the outside world thought that the cultivation techniques she wrote for them were related to ancient martial arts. After learning that they had misunderstood, she sent Ren Yongfeng several cultivation techniques that she had accumulated.

Ren Yongfeng was particularly excited at the time.

When he says he's helped them a lot, is he referring to these things?

However, she shook her head and said, "No need."

Ren Yongfeng became even more anxious: "But, online—"

The things people say online are so awful.

Ren Yongfeng knew that the reason why people on the internet said such harsh things was because they felt that Ling Luo had no talent for cultivation, yet she went to the military headquarters with Ye Xingxue.

They all felt that Ling Luo went to the military headquarters because she didn't want to be separated from Ye Xingxue.

Many people believe that the job she found in the military was merely a means for her to cover up this fact.

Ren Yongfeng felt that although Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo were young, they were not people who did not know their place.

The two of them going to the military headquarters together must have their own plans, and they would never do anything to hinder the military.

Ling Luo said, "Don't worry about it."

She doesn't care about things that happen online.

When she first joined the military, she did intend to achieve something.

Unfortunately, things took an unexpected turn along the way.

Her personal cultivation did indeed cause her to neglect her work.

She has to admit that.

"But--"

Ren Yongfeng couldn't help but look at Ye Xingxue, hoping he would say something for him.

The training methods that Ling Luo specially wrote for him and Ye Zeru were countless times more effective than the twenty or so training methods that Ling Luo wrote for everyone.

The training methods she wrote for others were so effective that he and Ye Zeru were worried that the results would be too good, and that the gap between her and others would be so large that others would notice something amiss and cause trouble for Ling Luo.

After all, although Ling Luo is powerful, he doesn't have time to customize a cultivation technique suitable for everyone.

But as they practiced, they discovered that the techniques Ling Luo had written for them inherently possessed the ability to conceal one's martial arts abilities.

By the time they reached their second year of training, when they tried to conceal their true martial prowess, even those with far superior skills couldn't detect any flaws.

Ling Luo's research into martial arts techniques is unfathomable.

Although Ling Luo's responsibilities in the military have not yet been finalized, he believes that Ling Luo is certainly aware of them.

Since she didn't want to use other people's work, he naturally respected her decision.

He said, "The Crown Princess has her own plans, so Academician Ren doesn't need to worry."

"this--"

Ren Yongfeng was about to get angry and was about to speak when he suddenly paused.

Judging from Ye Xingxue's words, it seems that Lingluo already has ideas about training methods?

After realizing what he meant, he was overjoyed and quickly said, "That's good, that's good."

After saying that, she smiled and said to Ling Luo, "Since the Crown Princess has her own things to do, you should go about your business. We can handle our own work. Relying on you all the time is not conducive to our growth."

Ling Luo originally wanted to say that it wouldn't take up much of her time, but after hearing the rest, she could only say, "...Okay."

Ren Yongfeng left happily.

Their research institute originally did not intend to release their research findings so quickly.

But they couldn't stand seeing someone climb to the top by stepping on Ling Luo like that.

Not long after Ren Yongfeng left, the Lingliu Empire Research Institute posted a message on social media.

This matter is still causing a stir online.

Not long after they posted the message, it immediately attracted a large number of netizens to watch.

"They've also developed some training methods, and the results are a third better than the Crown Princess's methods? In other words, they're even better than those developed by the Niflü Empire?"

"Of course, isn't one-third much more than one-quarter? But I have a question, how much is 'some'?"

"Yes, yes, I also want to know how many of these 'some' are there. If we're talking about 'some,' there should be three or five, right?"

"Yeah yeah."

Just as netizens were asking questions, a staff member from the research institute replied, "Not many, only thirteen."

The news shocked netizens.

"Thirteen! Holy crap, that's a lot!!!"

"Thirteen, hahaha, the Niflü Empire is not even a fraction of what we have, yet they dare to post it and show off. It's truly laughable."

"That's right!"

Seeing the significant progress made by the Lingliu Empire and the Niflü Empire in their training methods, netizens from other empires began leaving messages on their respective empires' training method research institute accounts, inquiring about the situation.

However, no one responded.

The lack of response likely indicates that their research findings are still far behind those of the Lingliu Empire.

Otherwise, if they were as good as, or even similar to, the Lingliu Empire, they would have already responded. After all, the Lingliu Empire had Ling Luo's help, yet they still managed to catch up, which means their strength is far superior to that of the Lingliu Empire's research institute.

This is a principle that netizens understand.

And that is indeed the case.

After other empires came into contact with "ancient martial arts," they all developed new and effective training methods based on Ling Luo's twenty or so training methods.

However, many empires only developed one training method.

Very few empires can develop two or three new and effective training methods.

In addition, like the Niflü Empire, their research findings were not suitable for everyone, which is why they didn't deliberately announce their successes.

Even if they wanted to lie about the numbers, their research results were far behind those of the Lingliu Empire. They were unsure how many more years it would take them to catch up with the Lingliu Empire. In this situation, lying was worse than not responding at all.

That's why no one responded online.

In the research on training methods for interstellar martial artists, before Ling Luo emerged as a dark horse and incorporated ancient martial arts into his work, the levels of various empires were actually quite similar.

Although the research institute didn't mention Ling Luo at all, as Ling Luo said, many people believed that Ling Luo must have played a significant role in the fact that the Lingliu Empire's Training Method Research Institute was so far ahead of the Nifus Empire in training method research.

After all, Ling Luo only went to the military headquarters, not completely isolated from the world. If Ren Yongfeng and the others have any questions they want to ask Ling Luo, they can definitely communicate with each other.

This matter has come to a temporary end.
