Time continued to pass. Even great existences who had completely mastered the Law of Time Origin might be able to achieve a “time pause” or even “time reversal” for a short period, but the universe itself possessed an instinctive ability to automatically correct and restore itself. No matter how powerful an existence was, they could not forcibly distort the operation of such a vast universe.
The broadcast of the reincarnation battles continued, like a television series being played episode after episode.
After all, there were more than nine thousand participants, so it was inevitable that some special situations would arise, causing the battles to be delayed by a few days.
2 March 2069, the final day of the reincarnation battles.
On a floating island in the Ganwu Continent of the Virtual Universe, inside an elegant reception hall in the tall building.
An old man dressed in a plain white robe stood there and bowed slightly.
“Blade Edge Marquis.”
Standing beside him was a sturdy man wearing golden armour. His face was covered in golden scales, while his forehead had a slightly curved golden horn resembling a curved blade. His entire body seemed like a golden battle blade capable of splitting heaven and earth apart!
Even within the Virtual Universe, the pressure contained in his consciousness was enough to make the consciousness of a Universe Level expert collapse.
If Luo Feng saw this man, he would definitely exclaim, “He looks so much like Bakaro, except that his scales have changed from green to gold!”
“Is this the Luo Feng you mentioned?” The golden armoured man looked at the screen.
The screen was broadcasting a battle that was about to take place.
“Yes. Today is the final day of the reincarnation battles, and this battle should be the most exciting one on the final day.” The old man in the plain white robe smiled.
“Oh? You specifically introduced him. Are you saying that this little fellow has a chance of entering the top one thousand in the overall universe ranking?” The golden armoured man asked.
“Blade Edge Marquis, you’ll know once you watch.” The white robed old man said.
On the screen.
Luo Feng, dressed in a dark grey battle suit and carrying a dark golden long staff on his back, instantly clashed with a short young man wielding two battle blades.
“Boom!”
The short youth shot forward like lightning and instantly reached Luo Feng.
However, with a whoosh, Luo Feng, whose expression was cold, stepped on the Dark Cloud Shuttle. Golden airflow wrapped around it, instantly transforming into a streak of golden light that easily dodged the attack.
“Go!”
Boom!
A golden sword ray appeared in mid air. Amidst the spreading golden airflow, its speed soared and it instantly attacked the short youth.
The short youth roared. Green airflow erupted from his body, while his two battle blades were unleashed. His entire body seemed to instantly transform into a raging wave that surged towards the golden sword ray.
“Whoosh!”
At the moment the golden sword ray approached, it suddenly followed an almost perfect S shaped trajectory. It grazed past the edge of the opponent’s battle blade and directly sliced off his head.
Luo Feng, victory!
……
Inside the reception hall.
“How is it?” The old man in the plain white robe smiled.
“Hmm, not bad, truly not bad.” The golden armoured man nodded repeatedly. “This little fellow has already grasped the essence of a Spiritual Master Controller! He is stepping on the fifth tier psychic weapon, the Dark Cloud Shuttle, yet he can use it so effortlessly and perfectly. Moreover, his instantaneous burst of speed when dodging is extremely fast, and he makes it look very easy.”
“The Yan Shen Armament, when combined with his comprehension of the Law of Gold Origin, is extremely powerful and fierce. Normally, at most, one could barely change its direction. Yet he can actually make the Yan Shen Armament easily perform a complicated trajectory like an S shape within an extremely short distance. The first level, the Illusionary Sword Style, has already been completely mastered!”
“His fundamentals are extremely solid.” The golden armoured man nodded repeatedly, then frowned. “However, judging from this strength, I estimate that in the overall universe ranking, he can reach at most somewhere between three thousandth and five thousandth.”
There were 1,008 universe countries, with millions of supreme geniuses gathered together.
Reaching the top one thousand was extremely difficult.
“Haha… Take a look at this.” The white robed old man pointed towards the screen and quickly brought up footage of Luo Feng and Rong Jun’s battle from back then.
“Rong Jun? I’ve heard of him. I heard that he’s the most outstanding genius in your Ganwu Universe Country.” The golden armoured man watched the footage. Only after watching it all did he speak quietly.
“This Rong Jun is indeed very strong, but with this level of strength, he has absolutely no hope of taking first place. He has some confidence in entering the top ten of the overall universe ranking.”
“No hope at all?” The white robed old man was greatly surprised.
“Hmm. There is a super genius in this edition.” The golden armoured man could not help sighing. “He is stronger than the first place winner of previous Genius Battles. His comprehension of the Laws of Space has surpassed that of most Domain Lords.”
“Oh?” The white robed old man was greatly shocked.
“As for this Luo Feng, I know why you asked me to watch this footage.” The golden armoured man sighed. “He has truly surprised me. When he fought Rong Jun, his flying and dodging were clearly very difficult, and his control was very rough. He was purely relying on his mental force to forcibly control his direction. But in the reincarnation battle broadcast we just watched, his control of the Dark Cloud Shuttle has become extremely perfect. His control of the Yan Shen Armament has also improved tremendously! His comprehension of the Laws should have improved considerably.”
“By the way, how long did the internal selection of your Ganwu Universe Country’s reincarnation battles last?” The golden armoured man asked.
“Less than three years.” The white robed old man replied.
“Less than three years?” The golden armoured man could not help saying, “Did this Luo Feng hide his strength when he fought Rong Jun?”
“No. He fought all 9,374 reincarnation battles one by one, and his improvement was extremely obvious.” The white robed old man sighed. “Before the reincarnation battles, he could at most be considered one of the top ten geniuses in our Ganwu Universe Country. Yet after less than three years, I’m afraid that only Rong Jun can suppress him now. Many Immortals in our Ganwu Secret Realm are paying attention to him. His rate of improvement… is astonishing.”
“Moreover, his opponents in the reincarnation battles were not very strong, so they could not force him to display his strongest strength. I even suspect that… his actual strength is somewhat greater than what he has displayed so far.” The white robed old man said. “And there is still quite a long time before the ultimate battle. He can continue improving.”
“Hmm.”
The golden armoured man grinned. “If he continues improving, then when the geniuses from the 1,008 universe countries compete at the ultimate level, he might have a chance of entering the top one thousand. But it will still be very difficult.”
While the two Immortal existences from the Ganwu Secret Realm and the Virtual Universe Company were discussing Luo Feng, Luo Feng had already arrived at the preparation hall of Fighting Arena Number 00001.
Inside the preparation hall.
“He’s Luo Feng!”
“How has this Luo Feng improved so quickly?”
“The teachers in the secret realm all say that Luo Feng can now rank second among the geniuses of our universe country.”
When the black haired young man in the dark grey battle suit appeared in the preparation hall, a wave of quiet discussion immediately arose.
During the nearly three years of the reincarnation battles, Luo Feng’s astonishing rate of improvement had attracted the attention of many experts.
“Madman!”
A deep and powerful voice rang out.
Luo Feng turned his head and saw the Savage Rong Jun, who seemed as tall as a building. The Savage still had messy hair and was barefoot.
“Savage!” Luo Feng called out as well.
“Hahaha…” The Savage Youth burst into laughter, and a smile also appeared on Luo Feng’s face.
Previously, the two had always addressed each other directly by name. Suddenly using their nicknames was simply a joke between them.
“Luo Feng, your improvement has truly been enormous. You haven’t slacked off at all during these three years.” The Savage Youth admired Luo Feng greatly.
No matter how talented a genius was, talent was merely talent. If one did not work hard, one would still be eliminated.
Luo Feng had improved by so much. It was easy to imagine how desperately he must have trained in secret.
“I didn’t dare slack off.” Luo Feng shook his head. “With you ahead of me, how could I dare slack off?”
“Everyone, enter the Fighting Arena!”
The Virtual Universe Company’s staff shouted.
Immediately, one thousand genius experts followed the passage into the Fighting Arena.
There were no spectators in the Fighting Arena today.
The one thousand unparalleled geniuses from the various star systems of the Ganwu Universe Country stood there, looking at a giant in front of them.
The giant standing before the one thousand most outstanding geniuses of the universe country was more than eight metres tall. The Savage Rong Jun looked like a little child standing beside him.
The giant wore scale armour and a battle helmet. His entire body radiated a bloodthirsty aura. His eyes seemed like the gaze of the God of Death itself, enveloping the group of geniuses.
Everyone held their breath.
Sweat appeared on the foreheads of the one thousand geniuses.
“In the Virtual Universe, his consciousness alone is already this terrifying?” Luo Feng could not control the tension in his body either, and cold sweat naturally appeared on his forehead.
Under this pressure, the appearance of cold sweat was simply an instinctive reaction of the body.
“Congratulations!”
A cold voice echoed throughout the Fighting Arena.
“You one thousand people are the most outstanding participants selected by our Ganwu Universe Country. All of you are qualified to represent our universe country and compete against the geniuses of the many other universe countries! However… the difficulty of this ultimate battle is far greater than your previous battles!”
“There are 1,008 universe countries, and some of them have territories far larger than our Ganwu Universe Country, with far more star systems.”
“Because the circumstances of each universe country are different, their internal selection periods are also different.”
“Therefore!”
“The ultimate battle among the geniuses of the entire human race of the universe will not truly begin until one and a half years from now. These one and a half years are your opportunity to improve yourselves!”
Luo Feng returned to the Nine Star Bay residential area on Black Dragon Mountain Island.
“It is over!”
“The reincarnation battles are over.” Luo Feng sighed.
“The reincarnation battles are over, but your training isn’t over yet.” The little demon the size of a fist shouted from Luo Feng’s shoulder. “Luo Feng, with your Yan Shen Armament, even when you desperately push yourself, you can only barely wield five golden sword rays simultaneously. Moreover, when you wield three golden sword rays, their power is actually the greatest!”
A person might be able to barely swing a one hundred jin blade.
But if he swung a thirty jin blade, his attack power might actually be greater.
It was the same principle.
When controlling five golden sword rays, each one would become clumsy.
“Understood.” Luo Feng nodded, then smiled.
Recalling these nearly three years, his improvement had indeed shocked many people.
In reality, when he participated in the “Preselection” back then, the Golden Horned Beast had only reached the Universe Level slightly more than two years earlier.
In other words, the achievements of his “Fifth Level Domain” and crossing the threshold of the Law of Gold Origin had been gained between 2064 and 2066.
Now nearly three years had passed, so it was not strange for him to have achieved so much.
“My second clone is also close to completing its gestation.” Luo Feng looked forward to it, eagerly anticipating the birth of his second clone, the Mosha Clan clone.
