Chapter 408: Avoiding Battle

Because there were no other geniuses nearby, those prodigies were completely stunned by Luo Feng’s brute strength and overwhelming power. Each one kept a safe distance… leaving Luo Feng to seek his own prey. His gaze swept through the battlefield and instantly locked onto a distant, cold-looking golden-robed youth—Jinci Li. At the same time, Jinci Li was also staring back.

“Sit further away!” Luo Feng instantly recalled the scene where Jinci Li had coldly rebuked him back in the preparation hall.

Since that’s the case—

The next target shall be him.

“Die!” Luo Feng’s eyes flared with killing intent.

Zooom!

Stepping atop the Darkun Shuttle, he transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight toward Jinci Li.

“Damn it, why did I randomly bump into someone so powerful?” Jinci Li gritted his teeth, filled with frustration. Yet as an elite cultivated by the royal family of the Qianwu Cosmic Country, he clearly understood how terrifying an opponent of the same level who had entered the Origin Laws could be. Thus, Jinci Li clenched his teeth and immediately turned to flee. “Pushkin, Pushkin!”

Pushkin, who was like a war god wreaking havoc across the battlefield, furrowed his brows.

“That black-haired kid is trying to kill me,” Jinci Li urgently transmitted mentally.

“You really know how to stir up trouble,” Pushkin’s deep and resonant voice echoed in Jinci Li’s mind.

In this group’s ranking, Pushkin was first, and Jinci Li second.

Moreover, they came from the same organization, so Jinci Li had long ago courted Pushkin and made a deal with him… the two of them would work together and easily pass this arena group battle. Originally, with the first and second places supporting each other, passing the arena melee was a certainty.

Unfortunately, Jinci Li had provoked Luo Feng!

If he hadn’t provoked Luo Feng previously, although Luo Feng was strong, he probably wouldn’t have targeted the top two. After all, there were ten slots available in the arena melee, so there was no need to fight to the death.

But now…

Boom!

Pushkin immediately darted in front of Jinci Li, his glowing green eyes staring at Luo Feng approaching in the distance. He transmitted mentally, “It was Jinci Li’s fault, but there’s no need for us to fight. Spare Jinci Li, and we can pass this arena melee together!”

Luo Feng, standing atop the Darkun Shuttle, looked at the giant before him.

Pushkin, as tall as a two-story building, towered over Luo Feng like a skyscraper, while Luo Feng himself was like a tiny speck.

“Pushkin!” Luo Feng stared coldly at his opponent, transmitting with a shout, “Step aside!” However, Pushkin’s eyes flickered with anger, about to say something.

“Hmph!” A cold gleam flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.

Boom!

The golden illusionary sword shot forth directly, causing Pushkin’s expression to change. He roared lowly and swung his right fist, which was surrounded by a yellowish aura. His punch seemed as if pushing a mountain—appearing slow but actually managing to block Luo Feng’s golden illusionary sword. A deafening explosion resounded.

Pushkin was forced back more than ten meters, then gritted his teeth and glared at Luo Feng.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng was slightly surprised. “The intelligence report said Pushkin hadn’t entered the Law threshold. Indeed, he hasn’t perceived any laws. However… being at the ninth stage of domain, he can still display such formidable combat power.”

Similarly at the sixth stage of domain, Hong could even kill opponents at the seventh stage of domain.

Besides primal energy, realm, and laws, factors like willpower, mentality, and experience also determined the outcome of battle. If someone lacked fighting spirit and resistance, they might not even display half their strength. On the contrary, someone with high morale, intense emotions, and strong willpower could surpass their normal capabilities!

Pushkin, at the ninth stage of domain, had indeed achieved an impressive combat level to rank ninth in the 89th World Zone.

However, there was a huge difference between those who had crossed the Law threshold and those who hadn’t.

“Pushkin, you’re no match for me. Step aside, or you won’t even pass this arena melee,” Luo Feng, standing atop the Darkun Shuttle, coldly stared at Pushkin and transmitted.

To kill Pushkin would take some time. The longer the battle lasted, the more people around would die. Once only ten remained, the group battle would end, and Jinci Li might escape.

“Grrr!” Pushkin clenched his fists tightly, glared at Luo Feng with his glowing green eyes, then gritted his teeth and suddenly charged into the melee of geniuses in the distant chaos.

“Pushkin!”

Jinci Li, hiding behind him, urgently transmitted.

“Roarrrrr!!!”

Pushkin roared and wildly swung his fists, chasing and killing one genius after another.

“Hmph.” Luo Feng turned his gaze toward Jinci Li.

Everything was as expected. Among the 100 participants in this group, he was the only one who had crossed the Law threshold. Moreover, he wielded the ‘Yanshen Weapon’. From just that one move earlier, Luo Feng could tell Pushkin was already injured. If they continued fighting, Pushkin would definitely die.

Luo Feng didn’t want to waste time on Pushkin.

Pushkin also didn’t want to die for Jinci Li, so choosing to avoid battle was a natural decision.

“Damn it!” Jinci Li cursed inwardly, fleeing rapidly.

“Run?”

Luo Feng swiftly pursued atop the Darkun Shuttle.

“So fast?” Jinci Li’s face changed dramatically.

Even with slight comprehension of the Origin Laws, there would be significant improvements in attack, defense, flight, and movement techniques. Jinci Li was caught up by Luo Feng in the blink of an eye.

“Scum!” Jinci Li turned his head, snarling through gritted teeth. Black energy swirled around his body as he gripped two slender warblades, his expression fierce. “Die!”

Whoosh!

With a single stride, space seemed to twist as Jinci Li instantly charged at Luo Feng.

“Light Domain?” Luo Feng coldly snorted and instantly retreated.

“Illusionary Sword Style!”

Luo Feng’s eyes turned icy.

Even though others had also crossed the Law threshold, Luo Feng was more formidable because he fully unleashed his comprehension of the Origin Laws through the ‘Yanshen Weapon’.

Boom!

A golden beam, like a golden laser, instantly shot toward the advancing Jinci Li.

Clang!!!

Jinci Li crossed his twin blades and blocked the attack head-on. With a direct impact, Jinci Li’s body trembled, a metallic taste rose in his throat, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood: “Just like those super geniuses in the Qianwu Secret Realm, those who comprehend the Metal Origin Laws are indeed the craziest and most violent.”

“Actually blocked it?” Luo Feng raised his eyebrows.

Boom! The golden beam fired a second time.

“I can’t keep blocking directly, but I have no choice. He’s too fast—I don’t have time to dodge.” Jinci Li thought bitterly, gritting his teeth as he used his twin blades to block again. However, his arms were already weak from the previous impact.

Peng!

Both warblades were knocked out of his hands and sent flying. The golden beam slightly adjusted its trajectory and pierced straight through Jinci Li’s pale face, going through his skull!

His head exploded!

Jinci Li was dead! Eliminated!

This scene caused Pushkin’s face, covered in golden fur, to twitch: “Jinci Li could only block once before dying on the second strike. As for Ophelius and others, they couldn’t even block the first strike. Too… too much. I probably can only block four or five strikes at most. This guy is just too strong!”

Metal, the most yang and mighty, sharp beyond comparison!

When it came to brute-force confrontation, those who comprehended the Metal Origin Laws were indeed the fiercest.

The entire battle lasted about five minutes. Finally, the number of survivors dwindled to ten.

The battle was over!

“Crazy man, that guy is a complete lunatic.”

“Who exactly is that black-haired guy?”

The surviving geniuses looked at Luo Feng with evident apprehension in their eyes. However, most of them didn’t know his name because during the arena’s introduction… they were all in the preparation hall and hadn’t seen Luo Feng’s image. In fact, Luo Feng himself didn’t know the names of the others either.

Well, to be precise, he only knew the names of Pushkin and Jinci Li.

They were famous.

Luo Feng’s fame had been too low before.

“The 382nd group’s arena battle is over. The 90 who died are eliminated. The remaining ten qualify for the 900 available slots.” A deep voice echoed in the minds of everyone in the Battle Arena.

The other nine surviving geniuses, including Pushkin, all looked at the black-haired youth with a dark golden long staff on his back, exuding an aura of slaughter.

If Hong’s group had the fiercest warrior known as the ‘Wild Man,’ then this group’s most formidable was undoubtedly ‘Crazy Man’ Luo Feng.

“Luofeng!”

“Luofeng!”

“Luofeng!”

The millions of spectators from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain roared the loudest, shouting hysterically with all their might, their faces filled with wild excitement, each one screaming without restraint! Right now, the people most qualified to scream in the entire Battle Arena were those from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, their roars shaking the heavens.

“Is he Luo Feng?” At the moment of being teleported out, the other nine surviving geniuses couldn’t help but wonder.

The entire place erupted!

The palace of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire erupted!

Billions of people across the entire Black Dragon Mountain Island were ecstatic!

Across the 8,000+ star systems of the entire star domain, countless people watching the live broadcast also erupted!

“Too brutal, way too brutal.”

“Luo Feng is just too fierce.”

“Awesome, so awesome!”

“He’s our genius from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, yes, he’s ours!!!”

Countless people across the empire were ecstatic with excitement.

Over the past hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had indeed had several instances of entering the top ten thousand, which was already worth celebrating. However, those who entered the top ten thousand were mostly barely scraping through. For a very long time, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire hadn’t seen such a domineering expert in these peak battles!

Yes, domineering! Brute force!

In the arena melee, I am the strongest! Whoever I target will surely die! Slaughtering all in my path! Even the war-god-like ‘Pushkin’ had to bow and retreat!

In the arena!

Luo Feng was the king! The emperor!

Everyone else had to bow their heads!

“Too awesome.”

“Luo Feng’s strength is just too overwhelming. It’s like a sweeping force, unstoppable! Those with weaker abilities were defeated in a single move.”

“They say Luo Feng uses the Yanshen Weapon. Don’t you know what the Yanshen Weapon is? It’s one of the nine divine weapons of the Mental Projection Master lineage!”

“After the group battle comes the one-on-one duel. With Luo Feng’s strength, he will definitely secure one of the 900 slots.”

“Luo Feng will definitely represent the Qianwu Cosmic Country, facing off against countless extraordinary geniuses from other cosmic countries. Haha, Luo Feng is ours from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!”

Crazed.

Many special reports on Luo Feng emerged, and numerous fan organizations supporting Luo Feng quickly formed. In many virtual games, nicknames and epithets like ‘I love Luo Feng,’ ‘Luo Feng’s Master,’ ‘Luo Feng’s Wife,’ ‘I’m Luo Feng’s Senior Brother,’ and ‘Luo Feng’s True Body’ became commonplace.

This battle had conquered billions of hearts with Luo Feng’s might.
