The Genius Competition stirs up colossal waves in every cosmos nation, drawing the attention of countless beings.
Now, the ultimate battle among the geniuses of the 1008 cosmos nations naturally fills countless people across various cosmos with anxious anticipation. However, the trial elimination is not being publicly broadcast, only the rankings are being transmitted.
“Ronjun is so cool!”
“Look, the Virtual Universe Company’s official website has just released a new promotional video titled ‘Wild Man Ronjun.'” On a street in the Qianwoo Continent of the Virtual Universe, a young couple were pointing at the street screen. The girl spoke excitedly while the boy beside her smiled and said, “The rankings keep changing, but Virtual Universe Company produces promotional videos for anyone who has ever entered the top 1000. This time, only ‘Ronjun’ from our Qianwoo Cosmos Nation has received this honor.”
“What about Luo Feng previously?”
“You haven’t checked the rankings; he’s already near the bottom.” The boy shook his head.
“Many important figures have said that the ‘Crazy One Luo Feng’ is very strong. Why is his ranking so low?” The girl asked in confusion.
“No idea.” The boy sighed. “It’s quite disappointing. I used to admire him a lot. I always thought he was fiercer than that wild man Ronjun, but now…”
…
Across the Qianwoo Cosmos Nation’s hundreds of millions of star systems, countless people were discussing the Genius Competition rankings, most expressing deep disappointment toward ‘Luo Feng’. Previously, it had become a consensus in the Qianwoo Cosmos Nation that among their nation’s geniuses, Ronjun ranked first and Luo Feng second. Everyone had focused on these two for this competition.
But now!
Ronjun was impressive, while Luo Feng? He had dropped to the very bottom. If other tens of thousands of star regions in the Qianwoo Cosmos Nation had relatively mild reactions toward Luo Feng, then the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region had gone absolutely berserk!
…
“Crazy One! You really have gone crazy! How could you perform so poorly?”
“This isn’t how you should perform!”
“It’s truly disappointing!”
“Crazy One, my beloved Crazy One, my idol, where are you?”
“How can you be at the bottom? I don’t expect you to rush to the front, but at least break into the top ten thousand!”
“Crazy One! Crazy One!”
“You’ve disappointed me so much.”
In the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the countless people who had taken Luo Feng as their pride were extremely emotional. Some even became so furious that they cursed Luo Feng, lamenting his failure to live up to expectations.
“The rankings keep changing; the final result will only be revealed at the end. Perhaps Luo Feng will surge forward in the later stages. Previously, during the First World Zone, he also showed his strength in the later stages.”
“Everyone must believe in the Crazy One.”
“We will always support the Crazy One!”
One group was extremely angry due to their previous affection, while another group remained steadfast in their support, still believing in Luo Feng! However, Luo Feng, who represented the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on the ultimate stage of the 1008 cosmos nations’ competition, indeed captured the hearts of countless people from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
…
In the Virtual Universe, at the central plaza surrounded by the 1008 towers.
The 1008 great immortals were all seated together, watching the floating screens around them and chatting with each other.
“Truly many geniuses have hidden their strength during the internal selection within their cosmos nations.”
“A pleasant surprise.”
A group of powerful immortals was commenting on some of the outstanding geniuses, as the top 100 in the trial rankings would directly earn a spot, prompting many hidden, truly powerful individuals to reveal their strength, each giving their maximum effort, which somewhat surprised these immortal beings.
“This young ape is indeed quite flexible; he excels in multi-opponent situations.”
“Hmm.” A giant clad in scaly armor rumbled, “After all, the trial space is just a trial, not a one-on-one duel! Moreover, what’s placed inside includes metal lives and mechanical puppets, which are immune to soul attacks. Those skilled in soul attacks are at a significant disadvantage.”
A one-on-one human duel
and the trial tower challenge produce somewhat different results.
“Thirteen, you make a valid point.” A silver-robed, silver-haired man said beside him, “However, genuine genius experts will still perform well. Moreover, I believe the trial space is set up very appropriately because, in the future, their enemies will primarily be other races in the universe!”
“Hmm.” The scaly-armored giant nodded and looked at the ranking screen beside him, which displayed the rankings of the 1000 geniuses from the Qianwoo Cosmos Nation.
“Ronjun ranks 16th, not bad.”
“This Luo Feng!”
The scaly-armored giant was somewhat annoyed, “He really treats the trial space as a training ground, advancing to the next level only after staying ten days in each. This kid truly pays no heed to the criticism outside!” Because of the attention on Luo Feng, it was easy to discover that Luo Feng indeed maximized his time spent.
“Hmm? Eliminated?” The scaly-armored giant noticed the red universal cosmic script—’eliminated’—beside the names of two geniuses on the list.
“Another two dead!”
…
At this moment, the central plaza already had hundreds of thousands of eliminated geniuses.
Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
Almost within seconds, more than ten figures were simultaneously teleported to the central plaza.
“Windwheel, you were eliminated too?”
“Brass, you were earlier than me.” The green-haired youth Windwheel joked with a smile.
“I never expected to make it into the top 7300.” The handsome youth beside him, with slightly curly hair and wearing a silver battle suit, shook his head, “When I entered the trial space, I tried my best to kill my way through each level as quickly as possible to improve my ranking. As I thought, my name rose quickly at first, reaching as high as over 100,000th place. But later, the third trial tower was really difficult. My progress slowed significantly, and my ranking dropped rapidly, falling to over 300,000th place. Finally, I died, crushed by a mechanical puppet sitting on me at the fifth level of the third tower. What a tragedy.”
“Crushed by a mechanical puppet sitting on you?” Windwheel laughed heartily.
“You reached which level?” The handsome youth asked.
“The seventh level of the third tower.” Windwheel couldn’t help but curse, “The Zerg Hive was too strong. One Zerg warrior after another was bred, much faster and stronger than in the first two trial towers. I couldn’t kill them as fast as they were being bred… watching helplessly as the Zerg warriors multiplied until I was buried alive.”
“Haha…” The handsome youth couldn’t help but laugh, “Oh, by the way, I just checked the rankings. Our cosmos nation’s ‘Crazy One,’ the one you’re close to, how low is his ranking?”
“Low?”
Windwheel glanced around, “You see, there are already hundreds of thousands of geniuses eliminated. As long as this ‘Crazy One’ is still in the trial space, his name will rise. Just wait and see! I know this guy best. Last time during the Qianwoo Cosmos Nation’s First World Zone preliminary selection, he didn’t show up for the first ten days, and then began a killing spree. I bet this time will be the same!”
“So sneaky?” The handsome youth widened his eyes.
“This is called steady and down-to-earth!” Windwheel teased, “Unlike you, charging forward recklessly, only to be eliminated at the fifth level of the third tower.”
…
Seven Trial Towers.
1,008,000 geniuses all passed the first and second trial towers, but starting from the first level of the third trial tower, a large number of geniuses began to be eliminated.
The third trial tower eliminated the most people, almost accounting for nine-tenths of the total!
…
“Luo Feng, yes, keep it like this, a lower ranking.” Prince Bulorin was in his palace on the Black Dragon Mountain Island, comfortably lying in a chair, watching a floating screen in front of him. The screen displayed a forum where Bulorin was reading numerous posts from people criticizing Luo Feng for his poor performance.
“Delightful, delightful.”
Bulorin had a beaming smile, “Luo Feng, although I don’t want to provoke you, I also don’t want you to become too strong.”
“This ranking is just perfect for you.”
…
Bulorin could leisurely continue his princely life, after all, the royal family’s backing was the founding emperor—an immortal being—and Luo Feng couldn’t possibly come after him. However, ‘Nolan’ had a different situation.
Now, Luo Feng could easily ask someone to help deal with Nolan, so when Luo Feng became the center of attention during the Genius Competition, the extremely cautious Nolan had already fled from the family’s main base out of fear and was now living in seclusion on an ordinary life planet in a harsh environment within the distant ‘Karma Star Region.’
“Good!”
“Good!”
Nolan, who had finished training and flew back to his simple mansion, saw the constantly changing rankings on the living room screen connected to the computer with a pair of cold eyes and couldn’t help but sneer, “You forced me to leave my family. This time, you’ll finally take a big fall, ending at the bottom of the rankings? Delightful!”
…
Regardless of the raging storms, the endless curses, doubts, and support from outside, Luo Feng remained as steady as a mountain, spending ten full days on each level, advancing layer by layer at a steady pace.
He passed all seven levels of the second trial tower.
He passed all seven levels of the third trial tower.
He passed all seven levels of the fourth trial tower, which he might not have been able to conquer before his Mosha Clan clone was fully developed. However, now, he continued to progress steadily, layer by layer.
…
In the Virtual Universe central plaza,
to immortals with eternal life, spending a year here was a casual matter, and they couldn’t easily leave such a gathering. The 1008 great immortals were discussing.
“Thirteen, the ranking of Luo Feng from your cosmos nation has surged again.”
“Look at this live footage; this young man never seems in a hurry and appears to handle each level with ease.”
“Look, he’s broken into the top 500!”
The scaly-armored giant sat on a huge chair, watching the rankings on the screen before him. The rankings were peculiar; among the geniuses of the Qianwoo Cosmos Nation, the first was Ronjun, currently ranked 13th overall. However, Ronjun had already died in battle and was expelled from the trial space.
“This Ronjun had already reached the fifth trial tower, while Luo Feng was still slowly going through the first level of the fourth trial tower!” The scaly-armored giant couldn’t help but be amused, recalling a big joke from not long ago.
At that time, he had said—
“Luo Feng is low-key and slow-paced. You’ll see, later he will rise to around 3000th to 5000th place.” The scaly-armored giant had told the other immortals.
But later,
Luo Feng’s name steadily climbed, and now he had reached 500th place.
“Fifth Trial Tower!”
“Luo Feng has entered the fifth trial tower!”
…
“First Level, success! Rank 128!”
…
“Third Level, success! Rank 42!”
…
As time passed, the scaly-armored giant frowned, his eyes, filled with the aura of death beneath his battle helmet, fixed on the screen before him, murmuring, “This Luo Feng is truly… hiding quite deep! But I like this kind of surprise!” A glimmer of joy flickered in his eyes.
