“He’s a madman!”
“The madman is coming! Run!”
Pfu!
On the screen, a young man in a dark gray battle robe with short black hair walks coldly down the street. A golden fish-like creature ruthlessly slaughters a group of gifted experts. Bodies are thrown into the air, blood staining the quiet street crimson.
Clips of Luo Feng’s carnage during the preliminary rounds continue to play.
“He is the peerless genius known in terror as ‘the Madman’—Luo Feng! Hiding his true strength all along, he finally wielded his real weapon, the ‘Yan Shenbing,’ in the arena battle, sweeping all opposition aside, unmatched!”
…
“Barbarian.”
“I admit I’m no match for you. I don’t wish to fight you.”
“You don’t want to fight? You have no choice!”
A deep, powerful voice rang out. The barefoot, three-meter-tall savage warrior blurred forward in an instant. The massive war blade in his hand, though seemingly weightless, seemed to contain mountains within. It cleaved through his opponent’s defense and crushed him to death!
Clips of the savage warrior ‘Ronjun’s carnage also played repeatedly.
“He is the peerless genius known as ‘the Barbarian’—Ronjun! From the preliminaries, through the group battles and into the final arena rounds, wielding a single war blade, he slays all targets without mercy. To this day, no one has been able to stand against him!”
…
“They! The ‘Madman’ Luo Feng and the ‘Barbarian’ Ronjun, in the fourth round of the arena battles… will soon clash in a peak showdown on Island No. 00001!”
“One is a madman, the other a savage.”
“Who is stronger?”
“Will the madman sweep the barbarian aside, or will the barbarian cleave the madman in two?”
“Stay tuned for the fourth round of the arena battle, and witness their ultimate clash!!!”
A fifteen-minute promotional video appeared on the homepage of the Virtual Universe Company’s Qianwu Station. Only the Virtual Universe Company itself could obtain footage from the preliminaries. As soon as the promo was released… it immediately triggered downloads across the Qianwu Universe, spreading rapidly throughout the entire universe nation.
It exploded!
Across the Qianwu Universe, countless people rushed to purchase tickets for this battle. Though the fourth round of the arena battles featured many matches, only forty-nine of them truly captured the public’s anticipation. These forty-nine matches were all between peerless geniuses who had crossed the threshold into the realm of laws… and among them, the ‘Madman’ Luo Feng and the ‘Barbarian’ Ronjun stood out as the most formidable in terms of sheer aura!
Their match was scheduled for Island No. 00001, and the tickets were the most expensive.
However—
The number of people wanting to purchase tickets for this match was also the highest. Especially after the promo spread… the nicknames ‘Madman’ and ‘Barbarian’ quickly spread across billions of star systems. This match became the most anticipated event of all.
…
The day finally arrived—July 26, 2066, by Earth’s time system!
Within the virtual universe, in the dimensional space specially opened for the Ax Arena, on Island No. 00001, a battle between peerless geniuses was about to begin! The two combatants were none other than the ‘Madman’ Luo Feng and the ‘Barbarian’ Ronjun.
“Madman!”
“Barbarian!”
“Luo Feng!”
“Ronjun!”
The entire arena, with its one billion seats, was completely filled. Even before the battle began, the massive central screen of the arena played the promo, causing countless spectators to cheer wildly for their idols. Especially the audiences from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and the Golden Sword Empire, who cheered proudly for their respective empires.
At the same moment, in the preparation chamber of the arena.
Luo Feng, still clad in his dark gray battle robe, carried his dark golden long staff into the preparation chamber. The chamber had only two seats. A servant approached with a warm greeting: “Mr. Luo Feng, please rest here. The battle will begin shortly.”
Nodding slightly, Luo Feng walked directly to his seat and sat down.
He could clearly hear the roaring cheers coming from the arena.
“Whoosh!”
A figure abruptly appeared.
Luo Feng opened his eyes and looked. It was a towering warrior, still barefoot, with messy hair. Yet as he stood there, an invisible aura surrounded him!
It was as if he were heaven and earth itself, a natural and utterly domineering presence that caused Luo Feng to furrow his brow slightly: “Previously, I only saw him from afar in the arena or through videos… I didn’t expect his aura to be so strong when facing him directly! His aura reflects his personality to a certain degree!”
Living beings possess auras!
When an aura becomes extremely intense, easily perceptible by others, it is known as a ‘battle aura.’
A broad term.
For example, on Earth, a frail person might feel pressure from a muscular, fierce-looking thug.
A powerful will, a firm resolve, and immense strength can all generate a battle aura.
Take Luo Feng, for example.
Now, when he meditated in the wilderness of Earth, his naturally exuding willpower was enough to keep even the fiercest of beasts from approaching.
“Mr. Ronjun, please rest here. The battle will begin shortly,” the servant hurriedly greeted him.
“Hmph.”
The savage warrior directly sat opposite Luo Feng.
The two sat facing each other.
The savage warrior’s tiger-like eyes burned with electric intensity, making others dare not meet his gaze. Luo Feng, on the other hand, sat like a dormant volcano—silent, icy, with a faint aura of killing intent, making others reluctant to approach.
“You are Luo Feng? The Madman Luo Feng?” the savage warrior’s voice was deep and powerful.
Luo Feng, who had been sitting with eyes closed and an expressionless face, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the savage warrior.
If someone were to compare Luo Feng with the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, they would find that Luo Feng’s gaze was nearly identical—icy cold and filled with a murderous intent.
The savage warrior inwardly felt a chill: “This madman… his killing intent is so heavy.”
“Is there something?” Luo Feng asked.
“Yes!” the savage warrior nodded, his eyes locked onto Luo Feng. “The Samsara Battles… I’m very interested in them. Nine thousand, three hundred and seventy-four battles in such a short time—it’s extremely beneficial for my cultivation. I will definitely participate.”
Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brow. What did this barbarian Ronjun mean by saying he wanted to join the Samsara Battles?
“Do you wish to surrender?” Luo Feng stared at the savage warrior.
“No!” the savage warrior locked eyes with Luo Feng. “I have never considered surrender. But… I will defeat you first! Then I will take my own life to join the Samsara Battles!”
“Defeat me, then commit suicide?” Luo Feng’s pupils constricted.
“The spot means nothing to me,” the savage warrior grinned, his entire being brimming with fighting spirit. “What I need is battle—battle after battle! Constantly refining myself, improving myself! So… Luo Feng, I hope you won’t disappoint me. Don’t let me defeat you too easily!”
Back in the preparation chamber.
Luo Feng closed his eyes again and coldly replied, “Rest assured, I will kill you directly and send you to the Samsara Battles.”
“Ah? I look forward to it!” the savage warrior grinned.
Hearing those words, the cold and silent Luo Feng also allowed a faint smile to appear on his lips.
With just a few brief words, Luo Feng and Ronjun had developed a mutual respect for each other. At their core, they were the same kind of person—absolutely confident, never easily conceding defeat, and unyielding in the face of adversity!
Fight!
Fight!
Both Luo Feng and Ronjun could feel each other’s intense battle aura and absolute confidence.
“Mr. Luo Feng, Mr. Ronjun, please proceed to the passage. You will soon enter the arena,” the servant approached cautiously.
“Hmph.”
Luo Feng and the savage warrior stood up simultaneously. They exchanged a glance, both sensing the burning battle intent in each other’s eyes. Then, they both strode directly toward the passage.
…
The arena was packed, like an ocean of people, with cheers from spectators across billions of star systems rising in a deafening crescendo.
“Here comes ‘the Madman’ Luo Feng from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and ‘the Barbarian’ Ronjun from the Golden Sword Empire!” The announcer was a man with a powerful, booming voice.
“Madman!”
“Madman!”
“Barbarian!”
“Barbarian!”
The spectators from billions of star systems cheered wildly, their excitement reaching a fever pitch. Compared to their real names, these nicknames were quickly embraced by the masses.
Inside the arena.
Luo Feng and Ronjun stood facing each other from a distance.
“You both know the rules of the arena battle,” the announcer looked at the two. “This match will determine who earns the final spot. The winner will obtain the position, while the loser must enter the defeated group and undergo the long Samsara Battles. Do you both understand?”
“Then, the battle… begins!”
With a low shout,
The voice echoed throughout the entire arena. The announcer instantly vanished. The billion spectators in the arena fell into complete silence, all eyes fixed on the two figures now magnified in the sky above the arena.
…
At the sound of ‘begin,’ the ‘Madman’ Luo Feng and the ‘Barbarian’ Ronjun, who had both been holding back until now, almost simultaneously unleashed their battle auras!
Powerful warriors usually restrained their auras. For example, how could Luo Feng casually unleash killing intent while living with his family? Even a World Lord, while concealing their might, could cause a Star-Level opponent’s soul to collapse under the pressure of a single glance.
Battle!
It was a clash of belief and will!
By overwhelming the opponent with sheer aura, causing them to feel fear and panic, one could gain a significant advantage in combat.
Both Ronjun and Luo Feng had never faced such a formidable opponent before, so they instinctively unleashed their full battle auras, attempting to directly impact each other’s resolve and instill fear. Just a hint of fear…
Would likely reduce the opponent’s combat effectiveness to only sixty or seventy percent of their full potential.
“Boom!” Luo Feng’s gaze grew even colder, an invisible, chilling killing intent spreading outward… his willpower-infused battle aura directly pressed against his distant opponent. For a moment, it felt as though Luo Feng had transformed into a cold, bloodthirsty legendary beast, crouching and overlooking his prey.
“Hahahaha!” The savage warrior let out a delighted laugh. Beneath his messy hair, his eyes burned like those of a god, locked onto Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, let’s fight! Let’s fight!” An extremely intense and ruthless battle aura erupted from him, his fierce fighting spirit infused with his will—
Unshakable!
Indestructible!
Their auras clashed, their wills touched, and both sensed the strength of their opponent.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Blinding golden streams, sharp as swords, and thick, mountainous yellow streams instantly erupted from Luo Feng and Ronjun respectively, radiating outward from their positions.
