Chapter 76: The Hanging List
“Not really.” Brolin couldn’t help but say, “Our entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield has over eight thousand galaxies. There are billions of stellar level powerhouses, could it be that it’s hard to pop up a genius who enters the top one million in the universe?”
“It’s hard!”
“Very difficult!” Hargrave nodded, “The Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom has over thirteen thousand star fields under its command. There are nearly a thousand of these belonging to the country! Our Black Dragon Mountain Empire. It’s just a vassal state under the banner of the Dry Witch Cosmic Kingdom. In terms of the number of strong people. It’s a step behind the star domains directly under the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom.”
“It’s hard for our Black Dragon Mountain Empire’s first genius to rank in the top 10,000 in the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom. Not to mention that there are thousands of universe countries in the entire universe human community.” Hargrave said, “Like in the last Genius Battle, there was no one from our star domain in the top 10,000 of the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom!”
“Uh.” Brolin’s eyes widened.
“Shame. This is the shame of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire. It’s also a shame for our Holy Land!” Hargrave’s anger surged, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped at an accelerated rate. The air around him froze, condensing some ice flowers.
“Grandpa!” Brolin felt the piercing cold and even shouted.
Hargrave’s mind moved and the surrounding temperature returned to normal: “Feeling ashamed. A bellyful of fire is all.”
“Alright, I still have to train that group of disciples, you go back first.” Hargrave said.
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Brolin didn’t dare to say more and left immediately.
This time, the original plan of asking grandpa to send someone to deal with Luo Feng was considered to be on hold.
On the day of March 9th, 2066 of the Chinese calendar, Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.
A continent and island in the virtual universe. Again, there was black sky and white night, even the sky simulated a star. And at this moment, it was dark night. Many places in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Island had dots of lights, some bars and other places were even more brightly lit, everything was the same as in the past.
Suddenly-
In the night sky above the Black Dragon Mountain Island, an incomparably huge black list appeared out of thin air with light radiating from its edges. On this all-black list, there were words that emitted dazzling white light.
“Cosmic Humanity – Peak Genius Battle.”
“Once every ten thousand years!”
“To be held soon!”
“It is organized by the Virtual Universe Corporation. Jointly organized with all the universe countries!”
“Are you a genius? Can’t find a match at the same level? Then join the ‘Stupid Peak Genius Battle’, here. There will be many cosmic nations and billions of geniuses in the entire universe battling it out!”
“For details, please enter the ‘Virtual Universe Network’ official website through the virtual assistant.”
This huge list suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the night sky, with a length and width of more than a million miles, even with a population of hundreds of millions on the Black Dragon Mountain island. Even if one looked up on this island, one could clearly see this list!
“The Peak Genius Battle is about to begin? Wow, haha. It’s going to be crazy.”
“Hundreds of millions of geniuses from all the cosmic nations battling against each other?”
“A great event for the entire human race.”
“I’ve heard that the top 1,000 overall rankings in the entire universe will be rewarded with amazingly large sums of money.”
“Well, this term is organized by the Virtual Universe Company, so the rewards must be extremely high.”
“The Peak Genius Battle is held twice every ten thousand years. Once is held by the Virtual Universe Company, and once is held by the Giant Axe Fighting Stadium!”
“Hurry up and go to the official website to take a look.”
In the Virtual Universe, every continent that represented a “Cosmic Country”. Every island that represented a “Medium Universe Kingdom” had a huge banner appearing in the sky above them. Each one of them was publicizing the news of the upcoming “Cosmic Humans – Peak Genius Battle”.
In just one night’s work, this news spread throughout all of humanity’s cosmic countries.
The speed of transmission was so fast. It could be seen how advanced the virtual universe network was.
Killing Ground – Killing Space.
It was a vast desert, and the desert was occupied by thousands of densely packed black-clothed men. Every single black-clothed man was of the Stellar Rank 5, and in front of these thousands of black-clothed men. Instead, there stood a white-robed bald man. He was holding a Force Battle Blade. The blade of the battle knife was faintly reflecting an icy luster.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Thousands of black-robed people let out cold shouts, and then one by one, they rushed in like crazy lightning.
The white-robed bald man smiled as he walked over. Hidden lightning surrounded the surroundings. When the foremost group of black-robed men rushed in, the white-robed bald man’s body suddenly moved in a phantom motion, and that battle sword in his hand moved as well!
“Poof!”
The knife was as fast as lightning! It instantly split the head of a black-clothed man, and blood and brain matter collapsed!
“Poof!” “Poof!” “Poof!” ……
Only the white-robed bald head’s pace seemed to be not fast. However, every time, it was strange and phantasmagorical, at the same time, the sword did not move, but once it was swung out, it was as fast as lightning, and it killed people with one blow! His pace and sword swinging formed a very strange and subtle rhythm. With the combination of fast and slow, a large number of opponents of the same level and same rank were hacked to death.
“Snort-” A long whip lashed at the white-robed bald man’s left arm, instantly causing his left arm to explode and dripping with blood.
“Snort!” “Snort!” “Snort!” The others who surrounded and killed over immediately took the opportunity to attack in a crazy section of chaos.
The white-robed bald man died!
Only to see the surrounding space slightly phantom, all the black-robed people including those corpses, blood, and wreckage gold part disappeared, while the white-robed bald head reappeared.
“Misty, I did a good job right.” Thunder God laughed, “I was able to kill over one hundred and ninety opponents of the same rank in one breath.”
“Stupid stupid stupid!”
“You’re stupid to the core. I didn’t teach you in the beginning. You were able to have a domain all by yourself, and now I’m fully cultivating you. A genius like you should progress even more!” There was a fist-sized white-bearded old man roaring on Thunder God’s shoulder, “Also, last time you actually lost to that Hong! I was humiliated! Hong he doesn’t have a teacher. You have me to teach. I can’t believe you lost!!!”
“I almost won.” Thunder God even said, “You know that in all these years, I haven’t won my big brother once. Almost winning last time. It’s not bad.”
“What do you mean by ‘considered good’? Be demanding of yourself!”
“Alright, now I’ll talk about your stance and sword technique, from today’s test, you still have quite a few problems in stance. I can see nine points at a glance, first. The movement of the blade is also part of the stance. You’ve always been unable to fully comprehend it, and secondly, …… “That white-bearded old man was there pointing out a whole bunch of shortcomings.
Thunder God was there listening carefully.
Only after the training was completed did Thunder God walk out of the Killing Fields, and when he stretched outside the hall of the Killing Fields, ready to call the Heavenly Horses in the sky, he caught a glimpse of the incomparably huge listings in the sky.
“Shit!” Thunder God glared, “Such a huge listicle?”
The Thunder God even looked at the contents of the listings.
“Peak Genius Battle? Kid, you must participate. It’s a rare opportunity.” Old man Misty growled.
“Big brother. Third son.” Thunder God even informed Luo Feng and Hong.
Earth’s Asian continent, dawn.
On a dilapidated highway, Luo Feng was dressed in battle robes, carrying a dark golden long stick on his back, staring indifferently ahead his mind moved and he drank lowly, “Illusionary sword style!”
Snort!
At once a string of golden light flew out from the dark golden long stick carried behind his back, at the same time an inexplicably powerful strange force descended to merge into that golden light, that string of golden light only then stagnated in mid-air. These were 9 small golden swords that were as thin as cicada wings. And at this moment these 9 palm-sized small golden swords were being dispersed and arranged, while the incomparably complex strange golden secret patterns on them. Aided by the compressed domain. With his powerful consciousness, Luo Feng strained to urge those 9 small golden swords.
The golden threads were diffused and connected, in terms of complexity. In terms of complexity, it was a thousand times more complicated than the “Heaven Escape Shuttle”.
“Condense!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth.
The 9 small golden swords were connected to each other with complex golden threads, a combination of arcane connections, finally causing a golden illusion sword to gradually take shape.
“Peng!” The golden illusion sword collapsed, the golden silk threads broke off and dispersed into 9 small golden swords.
“Return.” Luo Feng’s face turned pale as he shook his head and sighed.
The 9 small golden swords quickly flew back to the dark golden long stick behind him, inserting themselves along the gap in the long stick.
“I didn’t realize that this ‘Diffracting God Soldier’ first level would be this tough.” Luo Feng shook his head and sighed darkly, this Diffractive God Soldier after a period of spiritual nurturing, it had long since become incomparably attuned to himself. But …… this Diffractive God Soldier is indeed incredibly difficult to perform, practicing the first weight himself is so strenuous.
Now that he was in the fifth weight of his domain, he was considered to have crossed the threshold of the Cosmic Gold Origin Law.
At the same time the strength of will amplitude reached 58.Of course this strength of will is actually the strength of the soul will of a cosmic level sixth order golden horned beast. That’s what made Luo Feng, a stellar grade seventh ranked spiritual nymphomaniac, have such a perverted will.
Strong will, fifth level of domain, preliminary crossing the threshold of the cosmic golden origin law!
Any one of these would be considered perverted in the stellar grade.
But it was just like this, the first level wasn’t even practiced.
“Don’t be anxious, Luo Feng. Your domain, law perception, and strength of will are enough to cast the first weight. But you’re not skilled yet, you’ll have to go through it time and time again, many manipulations have to reach the point of ‘habit becomes nature’ so that the manipulation doesn’t take so much intent.” Babata said.
“Understood.” Luo Feng nodded.
“Luo Feng, there’s a call invitation from Thunder God.” Babata said.
“Hmm? Second brother?” Luo Feng had this surprise. Thunder God was being trained desperately by his intelligent life, he rarely contacted himself, “Connect to the virtual universe network.”
Western Asia, a wilderness.
The beggar dressed in rags was sitting on his knees under a big crooked necked tree, the monsters that often ran by around him but turned a blind eye and didn’t even bother to eat him.
“Roar ……”
A head of monstrous beasts attacked each other, dripping with blood.
But the beggar continued to sit in silence and stillness.
“To have light, there is light.”
“There is not. It is darkness.” The beggar said softly.
Whew.
The original sitting there beggar suddenly disappeared, a range around him even formed an absolute pitch black. Suddenly this absolute pitch black disappeared, that beggar reappeared.
“The universe …… nature …… wisdom of the ancients is vast and profound, just limited to the body spirit, unable to explore deeper.” The beggar reveals a smile, “Last time, I was almost defeated by the second brother, this time, I finally crossed into the domain six.”
“Hm?”
“Second brother is looking for me again, is it a competition with me?” The beggar’s body tattered clothes instantly burned, while a set of clothes automatically extended out from the surface of his body. All of a sudden, he turned into a man with a tranquil demeanor, it was none other than the elder brother of the three strongest people on Earth – Hong.
Luo Feng and Hong, both entered the virtual universe network.
