Huaxia calendar, 5 September 2070.
Early in the morning, Luo Feng stood on the rooftop of his home, gazing towards the east at the fiery red sun that had just revealed half its face. Although it was summer, the early morning was still rather cool.
“Up on the rooftop so early in the morning, watching the sunrise?” Xu Xin, wearing a dressing gown, also walked onto the rooftop.
Xu Xin looked at the current Luo Feng. Although this man had reached the pinnacle of prestige on Earth, he still devoted almost all his energy to that arduous and elusive path of becoming a powerful expert.
Xu Xin had no complaints about this. She knew what was important.
It was just that sometimes she felt a little bitter inside, because when Luo Feng devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, he might retreat into seclusion for ten days or even half a month. Of course, under normal circumstances, Luo Feng was still very devoted to his family.
“That’s right!” Luo Feng looked at the rising sun in the distant east and nodded with a smile.
“These days, you’ve been spending all your time on martial cultivation. It seems like it’s been a long time since you’ve watched the sunrise.” Xu Xin said, “Sometimes you should relax too. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Luo Feng looked at his wife, reached out and gently embraced her, then said softly, “Wife, I’m sorry.”
“We’re already an old married couple. Why are you being so sentimental?” A faint blush appeared on Xu Xin’s face.
“Hehe.” Luo Feng chuckled.
“Tomorrow, the battle begins.” Luo Feng looked at the distant sunrise and sighed. “There are millions of geniuses from so many Universe Nations. Based on the situation in the Qian Wu Universe Nation, more than half of these millions of geniuses have crossed the threshold of the Laws!”
At the Giant Axe Dojo, Universe level experts who had crossed the threshold of the Laws were considered invincible.
Yet in reality, there were quite a few Stellar level experts in the universe who had crossed the threshold of the Laws.
There were tens of thousands of such peerless geniuses throughout the entire human race. Averaged across the 1,008 Universe Nations, there were several hundred such people in each Universe Nation. The Qian Wu Nation Master had even ordered Immortal beings to specifically invite such peerless geniuses to join the “Qian Wu Secret Realm”. From this, it was clear that every one of these geniuses was considered a treasure.
How could such peerless geniuses possibly be sent to the Giant Axe Dojo to risk their lives?
The probability of dying would simply be too high.
Black Dragon Mountain Island, Nine Star Bay residential district.
“Dad!”
“Dad, good luck!”
Two youths with extremely similar appearances looked at Luo Feng with eyes filled with admiration.
These twin boys were Luo Feng’s sons, Ping Ping and Xiao Hai. In terms of age, they were now eleven years old by the traditional Chinese reckoning. Because they had received excellent training from a young age, they had already reached Apprentice level nine during childhood and had now long since entered the Planetary level. This caused their physical development to be comparable to that of ordinary fourteen or fifteen year old Earth youths.
In appearance, they had inherited Xu Xin’s best features and were very handsome. Unlike Luo Feng, who looked rather ordinary.
The elder brother, “Luo Ping”, had a relatively good temper and a gentle personality. He had changed greatly compared with his childhood.
The younger brother, “Luo Hai”, was much more lively and mischievous.
However, because they had grown up in such a family, their tutors were Di Fan and Bai Carlo, two Universe level nine experts. Bai Carlo had broken through to Universe level nine last year after Luo Feng taught him the cultivation techniques of the Yun Mo Planet lineage. The family’s guards and servants were all Stellar level experts.
Combined with Luo Feng’s glory, this caused Luo Ping and Luo Hai to deeply admire their father from a young age!
They were proud to have such a father.
Growing up in such a family, although Luo Ping and Luo Hai had somewhat different personalities, they shared one thing deep in their bones. They both wanted to become powerful experts!
Strangely enough, the twin brothers had perhaps liked fighting in virtual games since childhood. Although they had both later awakened spiritual force, their spiritual force talents were somewhat inferior to Luo Feng’s.
Yet both of them chose to become warriors!
This left their father, Luo Feng, somewhat helpless.
“Dad is the strongest!” Xiao Hai shouted.
“Haha.” Luo Feng could not help laughing.
“Third Brother, good luck!” Standing nearby, Thunder God raised his fist and shouted. “You don’t just represent the Qian Wu Universe Nation. More importantly, you represent us Earthlings!”
“Well said.” Luo Hong Guo nodded repeatedly, his face full of joy. “Xiao Feng, what your second brother said is right. You represent us Earthlings too. Although there are countless life planets within the Universe Nations, and an even more terrifying number when all 1,008 Universe Nations are combined, you still have to work hard and bring glory to us Earthlings.”
“Mm.” Luo Feng gently nodded.
In their hearts, whether it was Thunder God, Hong, or Luo Feng, their sense of belonging to Earth had become even stronger.
“I’ll set off first.” Luo Feng immediately strode away.
Across the various continents and islands of the Virtual Universe, more than a million peerless geniuses from the 1,008 Universe Nations were transported to the gathering points of their respective Universe Nations.
A floating island above the Qian Wu Continent.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng appeared at the teleportation point on the floating island.
“Mr Luo Feng, please come this way.” A Universe level warrior standing beside the teleportation point was dressed in work clothes. He smiled and pointed towards a nearby path.
“Thank you.” Luo Feng smiled and nodded, then walked directly along the path.
After a moment.
Luo Feng saw a large square surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants in the distance. A large group of people had gathered there. At a glance, there seemed to be several hundred people, both men and women, with all kinds of appearances.
However, at least one third of them looked relatively similar to Earthlings. The appearance of Earthlings was also considered fairly common throughout the universe.
“Luo Feng is here.”
“That madman!”
Many young men and women looked over.
These several hundred people had all obtained a quota. This time, the Qian Wu Universe Nation was going to send one thousand geniuses.
“Luo Feng.”
“Hey, Madman.”
Quite a few people smiled and greeted Luo Feng. Because they had participated in the Reincarnation Battles, Luo Feng had fought one on one against more than two hundred of these people.
“Feng Lun!”
“Patro!”
Luo Feng also greeted several people he was relatively close to.
As time passed, more and more geniuses arrived, and the crowd continued to grow.
The wild man, Rong Jun, was considered relatively late. Eventually, all one thousand genius experts had gathered. The one thousand people stood together in a bustling crowd, with many who knew each other in reality or had become acquainted through battle chatting and reminiscing.
“Luo Feng, your strength has improved quite a bit over the past year or so, hasn’t it? I know you’ve made great progress.” The wild man youth Rong Jun looked down at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng turned his head and glanced at the wild man who was more than three metres tall. “Wait until the peak battle begins. You’ll find out when you try me!”
“That confident?” The wild man’s eyes lit up.
Suddenly.
“Boom!”
An invisible pressure enveloped the entire square. The faces of all one thousand peerless geniuses turned pale, and their bodies trembled slightly against their will.
Then, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a giant wearing scale armour and a helmet walked over. The aura naturally radiating from him was like the arrival of the God of Death.
The aura carried a heavy scent of blood that made people instinctively afraid!
The giant was more than eight metres tall!
It was that same existence from last time.
“The one thousand geniuses of the Qian Wu Universe Nation will be led by me according to the Nation Master’s orders.” The giant’s voice boomed. His eyes beneath the helmet exerted endless pressure. “You may address me as ‘Lord Thirteen’. Is that understood?”
“Understood!”
All one thousand peerless geniuses instinctively responded in unison, including Luo Feng.
“What terrifying pressure.” Cold sweat covered Luo Feng’s forehead. “In reality, his will pressure could instantly cause my soul to collapse.”
Fear!
The one thousand geniuses were as weak as ants before this scale armoured giant. It was only natural for them to feel fear. This was purely instinctive, and no matter how strong their wills were, they could not suppress this instinct.
“Rong Jun!” The scale armoured giant’s gaze fell upon the wild man youth Rong Jun.
“Lord Thirteen.” The wild man youth Rong Jun bowed slightly.
“You are the only one among this batch of people from our Qian Wu Universe Nation who can be confident of avoiding elimination. The Nation Master has high hopes for you. You… must not disappoint the Nation Master. Understood?” the scale armoured giant said.
“Yes.” The wild man youth respectfully replied.
The scale armoured giant swept his gaze over the other youths and said coldly, “As for everyone else, you have little hope!”
Immediately, many of the young people clenched their fists. Luo Feng, standing among the crowd, also frowned slightly.
“Hmph! Don’t be dissatisfied. Strength isn’t something you demonstrate with your mouth. You demonstrate it through battle!” the scale armoured giant said coldly. “Apart from Rong Jun, the strongest among you is at about Luo Feng’s level. However, according to our intelligence, there are quite a few rarely seen geniuses in this year’s competition. Luo Feng will do well if he can break into the top 5,000. As for breaking into the top 1,000, the hope is extremely slim!”
“Of course!”
“You may also create a miracle! Throughout history, there have been peerless geniuses who seemed ordinary at the beginning but suddenly erupted during the final peak battle.” The scale armoured giant swept his gaze across the large group of people, then changed the subject. “Enough. Follow me!”
The peerless geniuses from the various star regions of the Qian Wu Universe Nation could only endure it.
……
Afterwards, the one thousand geniuses including Luo Feng were simultaneously teleported under the leadership of the scale armoured giant, arriving in a brand new plane opened up by the Virtual Universe.
It was a vast continent.
Luo Feng and the others, including the scale armoured giant leading the group, appeared simultaneously on this continent, a total of 1,001 people.
“The Qian Wu Universe Nation team has 1,008 buildings ahead. Your Universe Nation team has been assigned to Building 0825.” A middle aged man dressed in white robes respectfully bowed to the scale armoured giant.
“Mm!”
The scale armoured giant snorted through his nose, then led the team directly towards the distant buildings.
“Wow!”
“1,008 buildings. Does each Universe Nation team get one building to live in?”
Looking into the distance, the 1,008 buildings naturally formed a ring. At the centre surrounded by the 1,008 buildings was a beautiful square filled with flowers and birdsong.
At this moment, many young men and women from the various Universe Nations were casually walking around and chatting in the beautiful square. At a glance, there were at least more than 100,000 people.
“Land!” the scale armoured giant’s voice boomed.
The genius team from the Qian Wu Universe Nation quickly descended, landing at the edge of the square. They then followed the road directly towards Building 0825.
The square had dedicated pathways leading to every building.
“Look, Building 0825 belongs to the Qian Wu Universe Nation. It seems to be the Qian Wu Universe Nation’s genius team.”
“Rong Jun, that tall wild man is Rong Jun.”
“Mm! His strength is very strong.”
“Which one is Rong Jun?”
“Rong Jun?”
Many geniuses from other Universe Nations looked towards the Qian Wu Universe Nation team from afar and began discussing among themselves.
