“Zone 1, that’s a good omen!” Thunder God smiled as he looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng, however, looked towards the surrounding distance. Everywhere he looked, there were people, dressed in all kinds of clothing. Some were more than ten metres tall, while the shorter ones were less than one metre tall. Groups of three or five gathered together, talking among themselves. How many people were there on the entire continent?
There was no need to count. More than 820 billion!
What kind of scene would it be to have more than 820 billion people gathered together?
“Everyone, please take note. This preliminary elimination will be divided into one hundred ‘world zones’. Group teleportation will begin shortly, and you will be teleported to your respective assigned ‘world zone’. Please make sure to check your own equipment. Once the preliminary selection begins, you will no longer be able to request weapons.”
A clear voice echoed throughout the entire continent.
Luo Feng looked down at himself.
He was wearing dark grey second rank Origin Force battle armour, a battle helmet and battle boots, with a spatial ring on his hand. His shield, Origin Force battle blade, Sky Shuttle and Yan Shen Weapon were all stored inside. The weapons simulated in the Virtual Universe were exactly the same to use as they were in reality.
“Group teleportation is about to begin. Countdown, 60… 59… 58…”
The clear voice echoed across the entire continent.
Amid the sea of people, Luo Feng, Hong and Thunder God looked at one another.
“Good luck.” Luo Feng smiled.
“Let’s all make it through the preliminary selection.” Thunder God smiled as well.
“Come on.” Hong also had a smile on his face.
“10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1! Teleport!”
The clear universal language echoed in the ears of more than 820 billion people gathered on the continent. In the next instant, everyone on the entire continent disappeared.
At the same time.
Within the Virtual Universe, more than 8.2 billion people appeared respectively in each of the one hundred separate worlds.
Human Race of the Universe, Peak Genius Battle. At the same moment, the preliminary selection began in all the major universe countries!
As a grand event for the entire human race, everyone from the lofty Immortal experts to ordinary universe citizens capable of entering the Virtual Universe Network was paying attention to this grand event. Naturally, as the experts and citizens of Qian Wu Universe Country, they were primarily concerned with the preliminary selection of their own universe country.
First World Zone.
During the teleportation, Luo Feng felt his vision blur. After waiting for about three seconds, everything before his eyes became clear.
This was an ordinary living room. He was standing inside it, with a bedroom and bathroom beside it.
“This is the First World Zone? What astonishing gravity.”
Standing in the living room, Luo Feng was somewhat unaccustomed to the powerful gravity. He then looked down at the screen on the arm guard around his wrist. This arm guard screen would automatically receive various messages transmitted by the organiser, Virtual Universe Company.
The screen was covered with densely packed words.
“Participant: Luo Feng, Black Dragon Mountain Empire
Points: 0
Ranking: None
Current World Zone: First World Zone
Time: The preliminary elimination will last 30 days. When the time is up, the entire preliminary selection will end, and the winners will be determined according to the final points ranking.
Note: The First World Zone is a continent simulated according to the appearance of ‘Biro Planet’ in the real Qian Wu Universe Country. The entire continent contains 91 cities, as well as wilderness, mountains and rivers. Its land area is more than 13 million square kilometres. The hardness of the buildings, ground and other objects in the First World Zone is all at the B9 level.
Points rules: Killing a participant earns one point, and you can also obtain half of the opponent’s points. Therefore, killing powerful opponents can earn more points.
Ranking rules: Dead participants will still have a ranking. If their points are high enough, even after death ends their preliminary selection and they lose half their points, they may still rank among the top 1,001. Therefore, please make full use of your time.
Important reminder: Everyone has only one life. After death, the preliminary selection will end for that participant, and half of their points will be lost.
A detailed ranking list is attached below.”
Luo Feng stood in the living room. After reading the information transmitted by Virtual Universe Company, he could not help taking a sharp breath. “Only a little over 13 million square kilometres? The territory of Huaxia is already 9.6 million square kilometres. More than 8.2 billion experts gathered in such a small area. The population density is far too high.”
He sensed the gravity.
The gravity of this world was even more exaggerated than that of the World Within a World back then. It was at least ten thousand times Earth’s gravity.
“This cup.” Luo Feng picked up a teacup from the dining table beside the living room. When he applied force, the cup began making cracking sounds and cracks appeared. This shocked Luo Feng. “What astonishing hardness and toughness. The information was right. The material hardness of the buildings, ground and other objects is all at the B9 level.”
Luo Feng gently put the cup down. Under gravity tens of thousands of times that of Earth, he walked lightly towards the balcony like a cat.
He looked outside through the balcony.
Outside…
There was a prosperous city, with rows of high-rise buildings and even more astonishing skyscrapers. The entire city was completely silent, without the slightest trace of human activity.
“Everyone has just arrived. They’re probably all exploring and preparing at the moment,” Luo Feng thought.
“Boom!”
A loud explosion suddenly came from the distance. Luo Feng was startled and immediately looked over. He saw the glass on one floor of a skyscraper in the distance suddenly explode. Two figures crashed through the glass and began fighting in mid-air.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…
Once one person began fighting, explosions immediately erupted throughout the entire city.
Everyone had the physical body of a ninth rank Stellar-level expert. On an ordinary planet, a ninth rank Stellar-level expert could easily destroy an entire city by unleashing their power. This was why Virtual Universe Company had deliberately set the materials of the buildings and other objects in this world to the B9 level. At the very least, this allowed the world to withstand more than 8.2 billion ninth rank Stellar-level experts fighting one another for an entire month.
“They’ve started?” Luo Feng’s pupils contracted. He immediately returned to his room.
Bang!
The door was suddenly kicked open. Even the alloy door was kicked out of shape. A burly man stepped into the room. His Origin Force battle armour had formed armour, a helmet and battle boots around his body, and he held an axe in each hand.
When he saw Luo Feng, he grinned.
“You’re the first!”
Boom!
The burly man charged forward. The fierce stomp of his battle boots caused the surface bricks of the living room to crack. His left hand then swung the axe in an arc, tearing through the air as it chopped directly towards Luo Feng.
“Hmph!” A cold light flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.
The Sky Shuttle floating beside him instantly shot out a string of blade lights, directly forming a golden fish.
Unlike more than three years ago when he had dominated the Slaughterhouse, Luo Feng’s current control of the ‘Swordfish Formation’ made it seem like a real fish. It appeared completely harmless, but…
Whoosh!
The golden fish brushed against the axe and directly swept across the burly man’s head.
There was still disbelief and astonishment in the burly man’s eyes. His mouth was slightly open, as though he wanted to say something.
Puff!
His head exploded. The burly man then fell directly to the ground, and the axe in his hand crashed onto the floor of the living room, causing the floor tiles to tremble.
“These days, I’ve been using the ‘Yan Shen Weapon’ frantically. Now that I’m using the ‘Sky Shuttle’, it really feels… so easy and simple.”
Luo Feng grinned.
It was like repeatedly lifting someone weighing a hundred kilograms. When you went back to lifting someone weighing ten kilograms, it would feel extremely easy.
That was exactly how Luo Feng felt.
The difficulty of using the Sky Shuttle was not even one ten thousandth that of the Yan Shen Weapon.
“Points…” Luo Feng looked down at the screen on his wrist. The words on the screen had already changed.
Participant: Luo Feng, Black Dragon Mountain Empire
Points: 1
Ranking: 6,960,34836
“The preliminary selection will last a month. At the beginning, because there are so many people, the fighting will be extremely intense and brutal. In contrast, there will be far fewer people in the later stages. Everyone who survives until then will probably have very high points. By then, killing one person will be more effective than killing a hundred people now.”
Luo Feng frowned. “Besides, no matter how powerful an expert is, they still fear being surrounded. If tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of opponents of the same rank surround them, even the strongest expert will die.”
“For now, I’ll keep a low profile and familiarise myself with my strength.”
Luo Feng immediately left the room quietly and quickly descended the stairs. He swept through the building floor by floor. Along the way, he encountered nine opponents. Although all of them had fairly good talent, and one of them was even a Spiritual Reader Master whose control over his telekinetic weapon was comparable to Luo Feng’s level three years ago, unfortunately…
The current Luo Feng was extremely powerful. His greatest improvement had come during these three years.
From having no Domain at all, he had crossed into the fifth level of Domain and had also crossed the threshold of the Origin Law of Gold. This had raised Luo Feng’s strength to an astonishing level. Even Hong and Thunder God were far from being his opponents. When he used the Sky Shuttle, the Swordfish Formation he formed already contained a trace of profound law mysteries, and its power was astonishing. Naturally, eliminating these opponents was extremely easy.
After all…
Even Babata believed that Luo Feng could be called the number one genius of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
…
“This residential building has four units in total, with forty-one opponents altogether. All killed.”
Luo Feng sat cross-legged in an ordinary tea room in this twelve-storey residential building. A golden *** continuously circled around him. Yes, this golden *** was the first stage of the Yan Shen Weapon, the *** Style.
During the two months after registration, Luo Feng had worked day and night, pouring all his energy into this. He had finally managed to barely execute it before the preliminary selection.
“This *** Style is still unfamiliar to me. I can only barely execute it, and I haven’t been able to unleash its maximum power.”
“As for the Sky Shuttle’s ‘Swordfish Formation’, I have already mastered it to perfection and can unleash almost its full power.”
“Now…”
“I need to calmly study the *** Style, become proficient in it, and cultivate it until I can execute it freely and effortlessly.”
Luo Feng thought to himself. The hazy golden *** that contained a terrifying power continuously revolved around him. At this moment, its trajectory was still somewhat stiff.
The preliminary elimination was underway in the First World Zone.
Luo Feng had occupied this residential building. For now, he would perfect the *** Style and strengthen his ultimate technique. The preliminary selection had only just begun. It was not yet time for a massacre.
