When Luo Feng, this ‘Madman’, finally put down his blood stained blade and hid inside a residential building, quietly waiting for the preliminaries to end, in the planetary building of World Zone 72, ‘Hong’, who was currently ranked 999th on the ***, was still fighting desperately. The battles on the final day would be extremely frantic and brutal.
Especially the group of people whose points were around 1000th place. At any moment, they could rise in ranking, and at any moment, they could be pushed down.
“I must make sure I stay alive. The moment I die, I will lose half my points, and I will definitely fall out of the top 1001.”
Inside a dilapidated house with shattered doors and windows, Hong stood there dressed in black with his eyes closed.
“At the same time, I should try to kill a few more experts and push my *** ranking a little higher.”
Many thoughts flashed through Hong’s mind, yet his entire being remained incomparably tranquil.
His mind was as calm as a mirror.
His entire body was incredibly relaxed and ethereal, yet the slightest disturbance could be detected by him in advance.
Among the three strongest warriors on Earth.
He and Thunder God had long lifespans and had experienced many things.
Although Thunder God had also gained some insights into Chinese internal martial arts, his main focus was on ‘Ancient Yoga’. Even before the Great Nirvana period, he had already been obsessed with martial arts. He was someone who truly loved ‘martial arts’ and possessed an innocent heart. He could easily harmonise with heaven and earth, reaching the ‘Unity of Heaven and Man’ realm of Ancient Yoga.
Hong was different.
He had been trained as an assassin from a young age.
An assassin had extremely precise control over power.
Chinese internal martial arts also placed great emphasis on controlling the body internally and controlling the state of mind. Since he had been an assassin, he naturally developed his own martial path.
Afterwards, Hong went through the trials of the Great Nirvana, the Base City period, the Devouring Beast disaster and many other ordeals. His subtle control over every trace of power could be called the best among the three strongest warriors.
Among the three, ‘Luo Feng’ was the youngest.
In terms of talent, comprehension and perseverance, he was not lacking in any aspect.
However, Luo Feng had never been influenced by Chinese internal martial arts and similar disciplines. In close combat, his control and application of power were inferior to Hong and Thunder God.
However…
Luo Feng was the strongest among the three!
First, his talent had allowed him to become a successor of the Meteor Ink Star lineage.
Second, he had risked his life and burned his soul to fight the Golden Horned Beast, yet ultimately succeeded in taking over the Golden Horned Beast’s body.
This allowed Luo Feng to stand on an extremely high platform, making him comparable to the most outstanding geniuses among the countless human races across the vast universe.
Inside the house.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the preliminaries to end.
“Countdown to the end of the preliminaries, 60… 59… 58… 57… 56…”
A grand, deep voice echoed through the minds of all survivors in the 100 World Zones. This caused many warriors in the various World Zones to become anxious.
“I’m still a little short.”
“I was just ranked 1001st, but now I’m 1002nd.”
“There’s no time.”
“Die!”
“You can’t make it into the top 1001 anyway. As long as you let me kill you, I will definitely reward you handsomely after we leave.”
“Stop talking rubbish. Reward me handsomely? The Virtual Universe system won’t provide any guarantee for something like this. You’re saying all this nicely now, but once we leave, you could simply deny it. What could I possibly do?”
During the final countdown, the various World Zones were in complete chaos.
Luo Feng simply waited in silence.
“10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1! Teleport.”
All the survivors in the 100 World Zones instantly disappeared. The virtual worlds that had been created one after another also collapsed and dissipated, with everything turning into nothingness.
At the same time, the final *** rankings of the various World Zones were completely announced to the outside world.
The preliminaries had ended!
The qualifiers had been selected!
…
Luo Feng was teleported above Black Dragon Mountain Island.
“Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!”…
A series of notification sounds rang out.
“Luo Feng, there are 371 communication requests. Oh, now there are 398 communication requests. Ah, the number is still rising.”
Babata’s familiar voice rang out.
“Haha, Babata, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard your voice.”
Luo Feng stood above Black Dragon Mountain Island. At this moment, faint figures could be seen in the sky. They were all people who had survived the preliminary world zones.
However, surviving did not mean they had managed to enter the top 1001.
“All virtual assistants were prohibited in the World Zones.”
Babata said helplessly, “The Virtual Universe system is simply too powerful. There was no way to resist it.”
“Hmm.”
Luo Feng nodded.
As long as one was within the universe, their consciousness could instantly connect to the Virtual Universe network, allowing countless people to enter it.
Furthermore, within the Virtual Universe, countless secret techniques could be simulated. Even the Origin Laws could be simulated…
This was simply too terrifying.
Perhaps the Origin Laws were no longer a secret within the Virtual Universe.
Virtual Universe Company, one of the five great human giants of the universe.
Moreover, the other four great giants had not mastered this kind of technology. The construction of the ‘Virtual Universe’ was an exclusive technology of Virtual Universe Company.
This made people even more secretly astonished by the depth of Virtual Universe Company’s foundations.
“There are now 453 communication requests and 892 emails.”
Babata said.
“Leave the Virtual Universe first.”
With a thought from Luo Feng.
Whoosh!
His consciousness returned to reality, and he then connected to the Virtual Universe once again.
Whoosh!
On Black Dragon Mountain Island, on the lawn in front of Luo Feng’s residence in the Nine Star Bay residential district, Luo Feng appeared out of thin air.
When entering the Virtual Universe from reality, if one owned a property and had set it up beforehand, then the moment they entered the Virtual Universe, they could appear directly at the entrance of their own residence in the Nine Star Bay residential district.
“Big brother, Third Brother.”
A familiar voice sounded.
Almost simultaneously, Hong and Luo Feng appeared at their own residence. They both turned their heads to look.
It was Thunder God.
Luo Feng and Hong immediately walked over.
“You two did pretty well. One ranked ***982, while the other ranked 51st.”
Thunder God curled his lips.
“But my luck was terrible. It was as if I had stepped in dog shit. I actually encountered the ‘Savage’ from our World Zone. That Savage was simply too abnormal. He had definitely crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws. He killed me with a single move.”
“So strong?”
Luo Feng and Hong were both shocked.
“Yeah.”
Thunder God then smiled.
“If Big Brother and Third Brother encounter Savage, you will definitely do better than me. Both of you made it into the top 1001, and you might even encounter that Savage during the arena battles.”
“I only barely made it into the top 1001. Third Brother is still stronger.”
Hong smiled as he looked at Luo Feng.
“Yeah, Third Brother is really strong.”
Thunder God also nodded.
Hong and Thunder God were much older than Luo Feng. They had always carried the feeling of being his elder brothers, but it was obvious that this younger brother possessed astonishing combat power.
“Third Brother, work hard. The stronger you become, the brighter Earth’s future will be.”
Hong patted Luo Feng on the shoulder.
“Dad.”
“Luo Feng.”
At this moment, a group of people also appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the house.
It was Luo Feng’s family.
…
The preliminaries had ended!
The top 1001 from each World Zone had passed the preliminaries. Across the entire 100 World Zones, there were a total of 100,100 people.
At the same time, the first place in each World Zone would directly obtain a final qualification.
The top 1000 from the Ganwu Universe Country would be eligible to participate in the entire human race’s Genius Peak Battle.
These 1000 people would represent the entire Ganwu Universe Country and fight against the countless geniuses from many other universe countries, ultimately determining the most outstanding figures among the entire human race.
The Ganwu Universe Country had 1000 places.
Now, with the first place from each World Zone directly obtaining one place, a total of 100 places had already been taken.
The remaining 100,000 people would compete for 900 places!
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire’s ‘Luo Feng’, ‘Hong’ and ‘Nabini’ would compete among the 100,000 experts for the final selection.
Only 900 of those 100,000 people would qualify for the places.
The elimination rate remained extremely high!
Every person who could obtain a final qualification was a super genius that countless people envied. They were the most elite talents coveted by countless organisations and forces, and every one of them could be considered a ‘special-grade elite’.
The preliminaries had ended, while the arena battles would take place one month later.
However, during this month, Luo Feng experienced the ‘troubles of being famous’.
Many forces from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire came knocking on his door. Not only that, some super organisations from the Ganwu Universe Country even sent people to find Luo Feng, hoping that he would join them and take up an honorary position within their organisations.
“Refuse them. Refuse all of them.”
“Just tell them that I am currently in seclusion, focusing entirely on preparing for the upcoming arena battles, and cannot spare any attention for anything else.”
Luo Feng was also troubled and helpless. He could only use this method.
…
The sixteenth day after the end of the preliminaries.
The Solar System, Mars.
Luo Feng was on Mars, where sand filled the sky, testing his Yan Shen Armament.
“*** Form!”
“Go!”
“Come back.”
Luo Feng controlled a golden ***, which transformed into a golden rainbow and shot through the air before flying back.
At times, he even controlled the golden *** to perform some complicated trajectory movements. However, his control was obviously somewhat stiff, and he was completely unable to achieve a smooth and fluid feeling.
“The opponents in the arena battles will all be extremely powerful. The weakest will be at Big Brother’s level. There will be quite a few who are comparable to me. There may even be some extraordinarily powerful ones.”
“By then, I’m afraid I’ll have to use the Yan Shen Armament right from the beginning.”
Luo Feng understood very clearly that every participant in the arena battles would be an expert. He had to bring out his trump card from the very beginning and keep charging forward.
He hoped to make it into the top 1000.
Only then would he be qualified to fight against the super experts from the many other universe countries.
“Luo Feng, hurry and enter the Virtual Universe.”
Babata’s voice rang out.
“Oh?”
Luo Feng was puzzled.
Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay residential district.
When Luo Feng appeared at his residence, he immediately saw quite a few guests sitting in the living room.
“Brother, Hong and Thunder God are receiving guests inside. Hurry and go in.”
When Luo Hua saw Luo Feng arrive, he immediately spoke.
“Who are they?”
Luo Feng was puzzled.
Hadn’t he refused every organisation that came to visit?
“They are an envoy team sent by the Emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.”
Luo Hua lowered his voice.
“I heard that this envoy team is even carrying an order personally issued by the Emperor. The person leading the envoy team is a World Lord, and apparently has an extremely high status. At the same time, the envoy team also includes the Emperor of the ‘Silver Blue Empire’, a primary universe civilisation.”
“The Emperor of the Silver Blue Empire?”
Luo Feng was startled.
The Silver Blue Empire was a universe nation that ruled over eight major star systems, including the Milky Way Galaxy. Yet the Emperor of this empire had actually followed the envoy team here.
“They mainly came here because of you, Brother.”
Luo Hua said.
“I’ll go in and take a look.”
Luo Feng nodded, then walked directly towards the living room.
