“Nine Line Flow?”
“Thirteen, your Ganwu Universe Country hasn’t had a little fellow who made it into the top 20 for more than a hundred editions. I never expected your Ganwu Universe Country to produce two at once!”
“Hahaha, Moso is right! There are 1008 universe countries here, and your universe country has taken two of the top 20.” The other Immortal beings around them all laughed and teased the giant in scale armour. Although Luo Feng’s performance was astonishing, to these super existences who were the absolute best in their respective universe countries, he was still just a little fellow.
“Those brother and sister from Planet Augustus also made it into the top 20, didn’t they?” A smile appeared on the giant in scale armour’s face.
“Hahaha, you actually know how to smile.”
“That’s a rare sight.”
“I’ve known him for more than a hundred eras and have only met him three times. This is the first time I’ve seen him smile.”
“He’s pleased with himself, of course he’ll smile.”
The powerful Immortals around them chatted and laughed. There were a total of 1008 powerful Immortal beings here, and those sitting together with the giant in scale armour were naturally those who had good relationships with him. These powerful Immortals also had friends and enemies. The closeness of their relationships naturally caused them to form different circles for discussion.
“Hahaha, what do you all think of Luo Feng from my Ganwu Universe Country? How strong is he?” The giant in scale armour looked around at the other Immortals.
“He has cultivated the spatial flight technique ‘Ten Thousand Line Flow’ to the second level, and he can also control nine Yan Shen Weapons.” A man with dark green long hair and a large nose, whose eyes seemed to contain endless oceans, commented, “His foundation is very solid, his temperament is calm, and his potential is extremely great! With his current strength, he can rank among the top ten!”
“He can rank among the top ten.”
“In the trial space, he could make it into the top five. In the actual arena battles, he should have a good chance of making the top ten.” The other Immortals also nodded.
Trials could not reflect a person’s strength with one hundred percent accuracy.
Because…
There was a huge difference between trials and one on one combat. A spiritual master who controlled mind force weapons could retreat into the distance and launch attacks from afar, whereas a martial artist had to charge into the enemy’s ranks and fight at close quarters. Moreover, this time there were also beings such as ‘mechanical puppets’ and ‘metal lifeforms’ that were immune to soul attacks, making it impossible for many people to display their full strength.
For example, there was the super genius who had previously been recognised as possessing top twenty strength, ‘Phantom Demon’ Galasi of the Huo Shen Race.
That ‘Phantom Demon’ Galasi had been so relaxed during the selection within his own universe country that he could defeat his opponents with merely a glance. It had always been that easy for him. But in the ‘trial space’, when facing mechanical puppets and the like, his illusions were completely useless, and his spiritual attacks had no effect at all.
Therefore…
‘Phantom Demon’ Galasi’s overall ranking in the trials was only 189th. Could that mean he was weak?
On the central square, the million geniuses all looked up at the screen, watching Luo Feng charge into the first level of the sixth trial tower.
“Your Highness, this Luo Feng is very strong.” A man who looked as though he had been forged from steel spoke in a low voice. Beside him was a black haired youth wearing silver battle armour. He was the Manka Star youth who had ranked 18th this time. His eyes shone brightly as he stared fixedly at Luo Feng on the screen, and he said, “Yes, I admit that my previous judgement was wrong.”
Just moments ago, the Manka Star youth had still said, “Looks like he can’t hold on any longer. He won’t be able to break through the seventh level of this fifth trial tower. I estimate his final ranking will probably be around ninth or tenth. Although his ranking is higher than mine, trials are different from one on one combat. In a one on one battle, he definitely isn’t my opponent. I’m confident I can defeat him!”
He had been full of confidence before.
But now…
“What a powerful opponent.” The Manka Star youth’s eyes were shining brightly as he stared completely at Luo Feng. “He cultivates ‘Ten Thousand Line Flow’ and has already reached the ‘Nine Line Flow’ level. Yes, he’s a very powerful opponent. I want to enter the ‘Primal Secret Realm’… This Luo Feng is a huge obstacle. I must defeat him!”
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, with faint flashes of lightning flickering around them.
…
“Luo Feng!” The wild haired, barefooted barbarian youth ‘Rong Jun’ was staring intently at the screen, speaking in a low voice. “He has already become frighteningly strong. However, no one can stop me. I will definitely become the strongest. I definitely will!”
…
The man shrouded in a black robe stared gloomily at Luo Feng on the screen amidst the crowd of geniuses and said softly, “Luo Feng? You’ve certainly stolen the limelight. Just wait. Soon, I’ll make all of you realise that the results of that trial space are nothing more than dung from a camel beast! I’ll defeat every one of you! Including that Death God, ‘Bolan’…”
…
Among the million geniuses, the most outstanding and top tier absolute geniuses were all unwilling to submit to others easily. Every one of them possessed absolute confidence and pride. Yet now, almost all of them regarded Luo Feng as an opponent, an opponent who was not easy to deal with.
…
“No good.”
“He’s going to lose.”
“Although he’s strong, the difficulty of the sixth trial tower is several times higher than the fifth. Oh, he’s injured again.”
“It’s almost over.”
The geniuses all stared at the screen and discussed it among themselves.
Within the first level of the sixth trial tower, the battle had already reached its most frenzied stage.
“Die, all of you!” Luo Feng’s eyes contained an astonishing killing intent. His body was covered in blood, and there was even a hole in his waist. He stood on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, transforming into nine mysterious phantom figures that were as unpredictable as ghosts and gods.
These nine phantom figures were not independent of one another. Instead, they formed a nine cycle. Within the range covered by the nine phantom figures, it was as if Luo Feng possessed an absolute domain.
His movement technique was bizarre.
His attacks were impossible to predict.
“Rumble rumble~~” Countless blood haired mammoths charged forward on their iron hooves. Their enormous bodies repeatedly surged forward in collisions. Many of the blood haired mammoths possessed domains of their own. Countless domains spread out, turning the entire battlefield into the home ground of the blood haired mammoths. Luo Feng had nowhere to escape.
“No wonder even Death God Bolan failed to break through the first level of the seventh trial tower.” Luo Feng thought to himself. “The difficulty is far too high. It’s much harder than the seventh level of the fifth tower.”
That was right.
At the seventh level of the sixth tower, Death God Bolan had been very relaxed and had shown no signs of struggling. But once he entered the first level of the seventh tower, he still failed in the end despite fighting with everything he had.
And Luo Feng was now experiencing the problem himself. Although his comprehension of ‘Nine Line Flow’ had greatly improved his strength…
The first level of the sixth tower was simply far too difficult.
“Bang!”
The tail of a blood haired mammoth struck Luo Feng’s body, interrupting his movement technique for a moment. Luo Feng’s mind was already exhausted to the extreme. Just as he desperately tried to dodge, countless iron hooves came stomping down towards him.
Then his mind went blank, and he knew nothing more.
…
In the Genius Battle, the final participant in the trials, ‘Luo Feng’, killed 6,892 blood haired mammoths. Just like the previous second to sixth ranked participants, he stopped at the first level of the sixth trial tower.
Overall ranking, third!
Luo Feng felt the surrounding space transform, and then he appeared on the central square. Many geniuses from the various universe countries and human races around him all looked over.
“Hm?” Luo Feng swept his gaze around and quickly located the team from Ganwu Universe Country, then walked over.
“So that’s Luo Feng.”
“Third overall. I’d never even heard of him before, yet he’s actually this strong.”
“Several people suddenly appeared during this trial. But among those who suddenly emerged, this Luo Feng is the strongest.”
Listening to the various discussions around him, Luo Feng returned to the Ganwu Universe Country genius team.
“Madman, you really gave me a fright. You’re seriously ruthless!” The green haired youth ‘Feng Lun’ shouted.
“Luo Feng, congratulations.”
“Congratulations.”
Some of the other youths who were not very familiar with Luo Feng also smiled and congratulated him. After all, 99 percent of the people who had come here already knew that they had no hope of entering the top 1,000.
“Luo Feng, Rong Jun, come with me.”
That deep voice suddenly sounded in Luo Feng and the barbarian youth Rong Jun’s ears.
“Hm?” Luo Feng and Rong Jun both turned towards an area of the central square. The 1008 powerful Immortal beings had already risen and were flying towards the genius teams of their respective universe countries. The giant in scale armour instantly arrived at the Ganwu genius team and shouted at the same time, “Everyone, return to your residences.”
Rumble rumble~~~~
The 1008 genius teams, led by the Immortal beings, returned to their respective residences.
Building 0825, first floor.
The 1,000 genius members of the Ganwu genius team were all standing there. Under the pressure of the giant in scale armour, every one of them stood respectfully and dared not make a sound.
“This time, our Ganwu Universe Country team performed very well!” The giant in scale armour’s voice echoed throughout the entire first floor hall. He actually praised them, which was rare. “Apart from Luo Feng and Rong Jun, who ranked among the top 100 and directly obtained the qualifications to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, there are three others who ranked among the top 7,300 and have the qualifications to compete for the final 900 places.”
“Apart from these five people, everyone else…”
“Your peak Genius Battle ends here.” The giant in scale armour said.
The geniuses from the various star regions of Ganwu Universe Country below immediately became dejected. They had struggled for so long, yet now they had been completely eliminated.
“You can now directly return to reality and leave this place. You can also wait for a while. The Virtual Universe System will directly teleport those of you who have been eliminated back to the continents of your respective universe countries.” The giant in scale armour said. “Luo Feng, Rong Jun, the five of you, come with me!”
After saying this, he strode directly into the corridor.
Luo Feng, Rong Jun and the other three immediately followed.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive.
“It’s over.”
“Our journey is over.”
“Haha, everyone, although we failed, we were at least invited to enter the ‘Ganwu Secret Realm’. That’s pretty good too.”
“Indeed!”
“I refuse to believe that we’re inferior to them now, and that we’ll still be inferior to them in the future! We’re only at the Stellar level now… Our cultivation journey has only just begun. There are still the ‘Universe level’, ‘Domain Lord level’ and ‘World Lord level’ ahead of us. The road is still long and distant!”
“Well said!”
“Even if you enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, it’s still very difficult to become an Immortal. But in the Ganwu Secret Realm, we still have a chance of becoming eternal Immortals!”
“Exactly!”
“Come on, let’s go and drink.”
These young men and women who had obtained the qualifications to enter the Ganwu Secret Realm, apart from a very small number who directly returned to reality, mostly left together and headed for the central square restaurant.
…
At this moment, the 1,000 geniuses of Ganwu Universe Country had embarked on two different paths.
Most of them would enter the Ganwu Secret Realm.
A very small number would enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.
What the future held… no one knew.
