When the ‘madman’ Luo Feng finally set down his bloodstained blade and hid in a residential building, quietly waiting for the preliminary selection to end, Hong, currently ranked 999th in the planetary tower of the 72nd world zone, was still fighting desperately, as the final day’s battle would be extremely fierce and brutal.
Those with special scores around 1000 were a group who could rise at any moment or be crushed down just as quickly.
“I must ensure my survival. If I die, I lose half my points and will definitely fall out of the top 1001,” Hong stood in a dilapidated room with broken windows and doors, dressed in black, eyes closed. “At the same time, I should try to kill a few more experts to push my rank forward a bit.”
Though various thoughts flashed through his mind, his entire being remained incredibly calm.
His heart was still as a mirror.
His whole body was extremely relaxed and ethereal, yet even the slightest movement would be detected by him in advance.
Among the three strongest warriors of Earth,
He and Thunder God had long lifespans and much experience. Though Thunder God had insights into Chinese internal martial arts, his focus was on ‘Ancient Yoga,’ and he had been a martial arts fanatic even before the Great Nirvana era. His entire being was devoted to ‘martial arts’ with a pure heart, easily merging with heaven and earth, achieving the ‘Unity of Heaven and Man’ state of Ancient Yoga.
Hong was different; he had been trained as an assassin from childhood.
Assassins required very precise control over their strength.
Chinese internal martial arts placed great emphasis on internal body control and mental state, so naturally, his martial path developed from this. After experiencing the Great Nirvana, the era of city bases, and the calamity of devouring beasts, Hong’s mastery of every bit of strength was considered the best among the three strongest.
Among the three, Luo Feng was the youngest and the youngest in age!
In terms of talent, insight, and perseverance, he was second to none.
However, Luo Feng had not been trained in Chinese internal martial arts and was inferior to Hong and Thunder God in close combat strength control. However… Luo Feng was the strongest among the three!
First, his talent made him the heir of the Yimo Star lineage.
Second, he risked his life, burning his soul in a battle with the Golden Horned Beast and took over its body.
This placed Luo Feng on an extremely high platform, enabling him to rival the most outstanding geniuses among countless human races in the vast universe.
Inside the house,
Luo Feng sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the preliminary selection to end.
“Countdown to the end of the preliminary selection, 60…59…58…57…56…” A majestic and deep voice echoed in the minds of all survivors across the 100 world zones, causing many martial artists in various world zones to become restless.
“I’m almost there.”
“Just now I was still 1001, now I’m 1002.”
“No time left.”
“Kill.”
“You can’t make it into the top 1001 either. If you let me kill you, I’ll reward you handsomely when we get out.”
“You’re just talking nonsense. Reward handsomely? The Virtual Universe System won’t recognize such a deal. You say nice things now, but once we get out, you’ll deny it, and I won’t have a leg to stand on.”
In the final countdown moments, chaos reigned across all world zones.
Luo Feng waited silently.
“10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1! Transmission.”
Instantly, all survivors across the 100 world zones disappeared, and then each of the virtual worlds collapsed and vanished one by one, everything dissolving into nothingness. At the same time, the final rankings of each world zone began to be fully released.
The preliminary selection ended!
The candidates had been selected!
Luo Feng was teleported above the Black Dragon Mountain Island.
“Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!…”
A series of alert sounds.
“Luofeng, you have 371 call requests, oh, now it’s 398 call requests. Ah, it’s still rising,” Babata’s familiar voice sounded.
“Haha, Babata, it’s been a long time since I heard your voice,” Luofeng stood above the Black Dragon Mountain Island. At this moment, there were already faint figures in the sky, all survivors from the preliminary worlds. However, survival didn’t necessarily mean making it into the top 1001.
“All virtual assistants were disabled in that world zone,” Babata said helplessly. “The Virtual Universe System is too powerful to resist.”
“Right,” Luofeng nodded.
As long as one was in the universe, one could instantly connect to the Virtual Universe Network with one’s consciousness, allowing countless people to enter. Even within the Virtual Universe, countless secret techniques could be simulated, even the fundamental laws of the universe could be simulated… this was truly terrifying. Perhaps even the fundamental laws were no longer secrets in this Virtual Universe!
The Virtual Universe Company was one of the five major human giants in the universe.
Moreover, none of the other four giants possessed this technology. Building the ‘Virtual Universe’ was the exclusive technology of the Virtual Universe Company, further highlighting the immense depth and foundation of the Virtual Universe Company.
“Now there are 453 call requests and 892 emails,” Babata said.
“First, leave the Virtual Universe,” Luofeng thought.
Flash!
His consciousness returned to reality, then reconnected to the Virtual Universe.
Flash!
On the lawn in front of Luo Feng’s residence in the Nine Star Bay community on Black Dragon Mountain Island, Luo Feng appeared out of nowhere.
From reality to the Virtual Universe, if one had property, one could set it up so that upon entering the Virtual Universe, one would directly appear at the doorstep of one’s own home in the Nine Star Bay community.
“Big brother, Third Brother,” a familiar voice sounded.
Almost simultaneously, Hong and Luo Feng, who had both appeared at their doorstep, turned their heads to see Thunder God approaching. Immediately, Luo Feng and Hong walked over.
“You two did well. One ranked 982, the other 51,” Thunder God smirked. “But I had bad luck, I stepped on dog shit. I met the ‘wild man’ from our world zone. That wild man was too monstrous; he definitely crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws. He killed me with one move.”
“That strong?”
Luo Feng and Hong were both surprised.
“Yeah,” Thunder God then smiled. “If big brother and Third Brother meet the wild man, you’ll definitely do better than me. You both made it into the top 1001, so you might face that wild man in the arena battle.”
“I barely made it into the top 1001. Still, Third Brother is stronger,” Hong smiled at Luo Feng.
“Yeah, Third Brother is really strong,” Thunder God also nodded.
Hong and Thunder God were much older than Luo Feng and always had a feeling of taking care of their younger brother. However, it was clear that this younger brother possessed astonishing combat power.
“Third Brother, work hard. The stronger you are, the brighter the future for our Earth,” Hong patted Luo Feng’s shoulder.
“Dad.”
“Luofeng.”
At this moment, a group of people also appeared out of nowhere at the doorstep, it was Luo Feng’s family.
The preliminary selection ended!
The top 1001 from each world zone passed the preliminary selection. Across the 100 world zones, a total of one hundred thousand and one hundred people. Additionally, the first place from each world zone directly obtained a final spot.
The Qianwu Cosmic Nation’s top 1000 had the qualifications to participate in the Genius Peak Battle among all humans in the universe. These 1000 people would then represent the entire Qianwu Cosmic Nation to compete against numerous geniuses from other cosmic nations… to determine the most outstanding individuals among all humans in the universe.
The Qianwu Cosmic Nation had 1000 spots. Now, the first place from each world zone directly obtained one spot, so a total of 100 spots were taken away.
The remaining 100,000 people would compete for the remaining 900 spots!
The ‘Luo Feng,’ ‘Hong,’ and ‘Nabini’ of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire would undergo a final selection among the 100,000 strong contenders. Only 900 out of the 100,000 would qualify for the spots.
The elimination rate was still extremely high!
Each one who obtained the final spot was a super-genius envied by all, the most elite prospects coveted by countless organizations and factions, each one could be considered ‘top-tier elites.’
The preliminary selection ended, and the arena battles would be held a month later.
However, during this month, Luo Feng experienced the ‘troubles of fame.’ Many factions from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire came knocking, and not only that, even some super organizations from the Qianwu Cosmic Nation sent people to approach Luo Feng, hoping he would join them and take a position within their organization!
“Refuse, refuse all.”
“Just say externally that I am currently in retreat, fully preparing for the upcoming arena battle and cannot be distracted.” Luo Feng was also troubled and helpless, having to resort to this method.
On the 16th day after the preliminary selection ended.
In the solar system, on Mars.
Luo Feng was testing his Yanlong weapon amidst the sandstorm on Mars.
“Phantom Sword Style!”
“Go!”
“Come back.”
Luo Feng controlled a golden phantom sword, which turned into a golden rainbow and soared into the sky, then flew back. He also manipulated the golden phantom sword to perform some complex trajectory movements, but the control felt obviously stiff, unable to achieve a smooth and effortless sensation.
“In the arena battle, the opponents will all be powerful, at least at the level of big brother. There are quite a few who are on par with me! Even some are incredibly strong.”
“At that time, I might have to use my Yanlong weapon right from the beginning.” Luo Feng was well aware that in the arena battle, all were strong opponents, and he must reveal his trump card from the start and keep pushing forward.
He hoped to push into the top 1000.
Only then would he have the qualification to compete against the super elites from other cosmic nations.
“Luofeng, quickly enter the Virtual Universe.” Babata’s voice sounded.
“Oh?” Luo Feng was puzzled.
In the Virtual Universe, on the Black Dragon Mountain Island, in the Nine Star Bay community.
When Luo Feng appeared at his doorstep, he immediately saw many guests sitting in his living room.
“Brother, Hong and Thunder God are inside receiving the guests. You should go in quickly,” Luo Hua saw Luo Feng arrive and quickly said.
“What people?” Luo Feng was puzzled.
Didn’t he refuse any organization’s visit?
“It’s the envoy team sent by the Emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire,” Luo Hua lowered his voice. “This envoy team is said to be carrying the Emperor’s personal orders. The leader of the envoy team is a Boundary Master, said to hold a very high status. Also, within the envoy team, there is the Emperor of the Silver Blue Empire, a cosmic nation of the lower level civilization.”
“The Emperor of the Silver Blue Empire?” Luo Feng was shocked.
The Silver Blue Empire was a cosmic nation that ruled over the Milky Way and seven other star systems. The Emperor of this nation had actually come along with the envoy team.
“They came here mainly for you, brother,” Luo Hua said.
“I’ll go in and see,” Luo Feng nodded and then strode directly toward the living room.
