“So, so his strongest aspect isn’t his movement technique, but his blade technique.” Luo Feng stared at the savage youth Rong Jun, while recalling the scene from their battle five years ago.
“My true target… is first place in the entire universe!”
That roar seemed to echo in his ears once again.
First place?
So the savage Rong Jun had not been boasting.
“That makes sense. Rong Jun even knows so much about the four secret realms of Virtual Universe Company. Clearly, he isn’t a frog in a well.” Luo Feng thought to himself. “He must know the level of the champions from previous genius battles. Since he dares to say that his true target is first place, he must have some confidence!”
Before displaying that astonishing blade technique, Rong Jun had been considered to possess top 20 strength. Yet now, he had actually defeated Gusro.
“Top five. He definitely has the strength to enter the top five.” The tall, completely black young man Opada said in a low voice.
“That blade technique is truly…”
The purple scaled man in blue battle armour flew into mid air. His invisible pressure naturally caused all 1,000 human geniuses to look towards him.
“Congratulations to the ten victors. You have entered the top ten. Your prize money has increased to 1,000 mixed units, and you can enter the ‘Absolute Beginning Secret Realm’.” The purple scaled man in blue battle armour smiled. “This battle for the top ten was very exciting. The explosive performances of several little fellows surprised even me.”
The 1,000 young people and the 1,008 powerful undying beings all listened obediently to this Nine Sword Venerable.
“Bolan, Qianshui, Luo Feng, Jiang Mo, Lanslow, Wuka, Ai Chen, Long Yun, Opada, Rong Jun. Congratulations to all ten of you.”
“After a short while, the top five will be decided from among you ten, while first and second place will then be selected from those five.” The purple scaled man in blue battle armour smiled. “As for how you ten will be grouped, according to the rules established earlier by the Virtual Universe System, the times at which you won your previous battles varied. The person with the fastest victory time will fight the person with the slowest victory time, the person with the second fastest time will fight the person with the second slowest time, and so on.”
The crowd erupted.
The 1,008 powerful undying beings were all astonished, the 990 geniuses watching were stunned, and even the ten peerless geniuses who were about to fight were caught off guard.
The order of victory times was Bolan, Qianshui, Luo Feng, Jiang Mo, Lanslow, Wuka, Ai Chen, Long Yun, Opada, Rong Jun.
If the fastest fought the slowest, and so on…
Bolan versus Rong Jun!
Qianshui versus Opada!
Luo Feng versus Long Yun!
Jiang Mo versus Ai Chen!
Lanslow versus Wuka!
The savage youth Rong Jun, who had been the most dazzling fighter in the previous battle, had actually been matched against the terrifying Death God Bolan.
According to everyone present, including the 1,008 undying beings, whoever encountered Death God Bolan was certain to lose!
“Rong Jun encountered Bolan?” Luo Feng glanced at the savage youth in the distance. “He’s finished. Even if Rong Jun’s true strength is extremely terrifying, no matter how much he erupts, his opponent is Bolan. Bolan is far stronger than the rest of us. Rong Jun will definitely lose!”
Bolan was simply too powerful. His performance in the Trial Space alone made that obvious.
He had led everyone else by an entire Trial Tower level.
Almost everyone sighed for the savage Rong Jun. After all, the arrangements of the Virtual Universe System absolutely could not be changed. They could only accept them.
Moreover, none of the other nine people wanted to encounter Bolan, but eventually one person had to face him.
That unlucky person was Rong Jun.
“Rest for a while. The arena battles will begin shortly.” The voice of the purple scaled man in blue battle armour echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Interesting, truly interesting.”
“Thirteen, the two seedlings from your Qianwu Universe Country this time are both very impressive. Especially that Rong Jun! While everyone else is using secret techniques created by their predecessors, Rong Jun actually created his own secret technique. That blade technique incorporates his comprehension of the Origin Laws of Earth and Space, and its power is astonishing. If he hadn’t encountered Bolan, he would have had a very real chance of challenging for second place!”
“Don’t praise Rong Jun too much. Rong Jun is strong, but that other Luo Feng is no weaker. His state of mind and willpower are practically perfect among those of his generation. A person’s will and state of mind also determine how far they can go in the future. Comparatively, I favour Luo Feng more. As for Rong Jun, he is only at the Stellar level and is still very weak. Creating his own secret technique at this stage is too early. He should first learn from his predecessors. At the very least, he can wait until he becomes a World Lord, when his horizons are broader and his comprehension of the Origin Laws is deeper, before creating his own secret technique.”
“Hmm, that makes sense.”
“I don’t agree with you there. Although Rong Jun’s self created secret technique is only at its beginning, its enormous power can already be seen. Moreover, when one uses a secret technique they created themselves, its power is even greater. What belongs to others ultimately belongs to others. It cannot compare with what belongs to oneself.”
“It’s far too early. Now isn’t the time to create one’s own secret technique.”
The other undying beings gathered around the giant in scale armour began discussing among themselves.
“Hmm.”
The giant in scale armour slightly frowned. He looked towards the two young men in the distance, Rong Jun and Luo Feng, and could not hide the delight in his eyes.
“These two little fellows really do surprise me again and again. With 1,008 universe countries competing, two of the top ten are actually from my Qianwu Universe Country. Haha, if the Country Leader knew about this, he would certainly be delighted.”
……
On the central plaza, the 1,008 powerful undying beings and 990 geniuses continued discussing among themselves.
However, the ten young men and women who were about to fight silently waited.
At first, they had felt a little sorry for Rong Jun. Afterwards, everyone began observing their own opponents.
“Long Yun.”
Luo Feng looked at the figure in the distance.
He was about two metres tall and had a sturdy build. He wore a rather unusual heavy battle armour and a horned battle helmet. His eyes were restrained and unfathomable, while the edges of his face were covered with some yellow fur.
He was Long Yun, a very low profile young man from the Lan Ting Universe Country.
He had never attracted much attention.
When the million geniuses had first gathered, many people had already become famous, such as Phantom Demon Galesi, the Manka Star Prince, the talented brother and sister from Planet Aogu, the savage Rong Jun and many others.
But no one had paid much attention to Long Yun.
In the Trial Space rankings, although he had entered the top 100, he was ranked below 50.
As for the battle for the top 100, Long Yun had won cleanly.
Yet he still hadn’t attracted much attention, because almost everyone else had also won cleanly.
When fighting for the top ten, Long Yun had won with great difficulty.
“This Long Yun’s strength…” Luo Feng’s heart jumped. “Right, I really haven’t paid attention to him!”
Ordinary and low profile.
That was Long Yun.
And this seemingly ordinary fellow had now reached the top ten!
“Luo Feng.”
The savage youth sitting not far beside Luo Feng sent a Force transmission.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng looked over.
“Be careful of Long Yun.” Rong Jun transmitted his voice. “According to my observations and the information I gathered earlier, among the previous top 20, 19 of them had comprehended two Origin Laws, while only one person had comprehended a single Origin Law.”
Luo Feng had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws of Gold and Space.
Rong Jun had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws of Earth and Space.
The others were similar. Death God Bolan had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws of Wind and Space. Yifeng had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws of Wind and Wood. Ai Chen had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws of Light and Time.
“Among those 19 who comprehended two Laws, eight crossed the threshold of the Law of Space, six crossed the threshold of the Law of Time, and five had comprehended neither Time nor Space. Regardless, all 19 of them had at least crossed the threshold of two Origin Laws.”
“Only one person had comprehended a single Origin Law, and that was Long Yun.” Rong Jun transmitted his voice.
“Oh?” Luo Feng was startled.
He really had not gathered such detailed information.
Throughout the history of the peak genius battles of the entire human race, among all 1,008 universe countries, almost everyone who could reach the top 20 understood two Origin Laws, or understood either Space or Time.
“His comprehension is of the Origin Law of Earth. It is heavy and integrated, with extremely strong defence and extremely strong attacks. Compared with me using only the Origin Law of Earth, he is much more terrifying. Be careful.” Rong Jun transmitted his voice.
“Thanks.” Luo Feng transmitted his voice back.
“No need. I don’t have much hope of winning this battle. I’ll be happy if you can win.” Rong Jun said.
Luo Feng looked at Rong Jun and smiled slightly before transmitting his voice.
“Good luck. Maybe you can knock Bolan down.”
“Haha! Maybe I can. I won’t admit defeat easily.” Rong Jun laughed as well.
Half an hour later.
The original arenas in the central plaza had long since disappeared. Now, five even more exquisite and luxurious arenas rose with a rumble.
The protective barriers over the arenas were enormous translucent membranes. Under the illumination of the luminous sphere in the sky, the membranes reflected dazzling seven coloured light, making them extremely beautiful.
The ten human youths were all teleported into the arenas.
Rong Jun versus Bolan, Luo Feng versus Long Yun…
Five battles that could be described as the strongest peak confrontations were about to begin!
On an arena decorated with beautiful borders, Luo Feng and Long Yun stood facing each other from afar.
Long Yun wore heavy battle armour from head to toe and a horned battle helmet. With a flip of his hand, he produced a terrifying giant axe. His eyes stared indifferently at Luo Feng.
He was a standard martial warrior who followed the path of overwhelming strength.
Luo Feng, with his lean build, stood on the Dark Cloud Shuttle with the Godly Vanquishing Weapon on his back. He was a standard spiritual reader Controller.
“You are strong.”
Long Yun’s deep and heavy voice sounded like the roar of a bull. He looked solemnly at Luo Feng.
“You are much stronger than anyone I have encountered before. To show my respect for an expert like you, I will use all my strength and defeat you directly.”
The moment he finished speaking, a faint earth yellow airflow began to emanate from his body.
The earth yellow airflow slowly fluctuated, and the surrounding space seemed to solidify.
An inexplicable suffocating pressure caused Luo Feng’s expression to change immediately.
“Such, such a monster!”
“A freak!”
“This, this…”
“Crazy.”
“This Long Yun is really sinister, far too sinister.”
The 990 genius youths watching were all shocked.
Even almost all of the 1,008 powerful undying beings in the distance focused their attention on this battle, with many of them showing astonishment on their faces.
“Indeed. To rely solely on the Origin Law of Earth to enter the top ten, his comprehension of the Origin Law of Earth must be this profound… It would actually be strange if he hadn’t crossed the threshold of the Origin Law of Space. Sure enough, sure enough! And his domain alone is already this terrifying…”
