After the perfect opening, I joined the chat group

Chapter 306, Section 315: The Battle of Geniuses Begins, and the Bewildered Executives of the Cosmic Corporation
The Qianwu Universe Empire will ultimately have only 1000 slots available for the Universe Genius Battle.

Everyone in the group is number one on the leaderboard in their respective region.

Therefore, they directly qualified for the final competition.

The others will have to go through a "repeated battle" before the final spot is determined.

The duration of the cycle of war is at least three years.

"Three years..."

"So, that means there are still three years until the real Cosmic Genius Battle begins?"

The other people in the group were stunned when they heard the news.

Luo Feng nodded, a wry smile appearing on his lips.

He was also helpless about this.

Time is so worthless in the world of Swallowed Star.

A span of three to five years is already considered small.

Spanning tens of thousands or millions of years is the norm!
It's unlikely that Luo Feng will experience any significant changes in the next three to five years.

But the people in the group have to wait three to five years...

They're capable of dominating the world.

Fortunately, it has the function of going online and offline...

"You guys go back to your own worlds and wait... I'm going offline for three years, then I'll call you back!"

Luo Feng spoke up, and the others in the group nodded in agreement, having no objections.

Although they were having a lot of fun in the Swallowed Star world.

It was alright for a while.

Wait three to five years.

They really don't have that kind of patience!

"The Virtual Universe Company should be aware of the current situation on Earth... If they contact you, remember to contact the people in the group first..."

"The Earth can only belong to Earthlings!"

Shi Jian looked at Luo Feng and spoke very seriously.

Luo Feng nodded: "There's no rush. These days, it's not just Virtual Universe Company that's paying attention to Earth... there are other forces as well!"

"They're only interested in Earth right now; they haven't really discovered its secrets... Let them fight it out for now. I'll let you know when the time comes!"

"Okay, I'll say it again—with Goddess Liu around, there won't be any surprises!"

Shi Jian patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and then spoke with a smile.

His decision to play the truth game with Liu Shen was a stroke of genius.

Liu Shen, this powerful figure, was exploited to the fullest extent by the people in the group.

……

After exchanging greetings, the group used teleportation to leave the world of Swallowed Star!

After they left, Luo Feng activated the offline function and began to cultivate diligently!

He's been offline for three years.

They got an extra three years of development!
He wants to take this opportunity to become stronger quickly.

Then it amazed everyone in the group.

Three years passed quickly for him.

He came online in the group.

[Luo Feng: "Brothers, the three-year period has come to an end. I request all Dragon Kings to return to their positions!"]
The people in the group had barely returned to their own world when they immediately saw the message from Luo Feng...

Upon hearing this statement, the others knew that Luo Feng had spent three years in his own world.

"This online/offline function is really outrageous..."

After making a remark.

The people in the group started teleporting again.

We've returned to the world of Swallowing the Stars...

It was still the same familiar place where they had left.

It seems that nothing has changed.

But in reality, three years have already passed in the world of Swallowed Star.

After three years of arduous cultivation, Luo Feng's aura underwent some changes.

"The competition is about to start tomorrow. As I expected, in the past three years, the Cosmic Virtual Company and other forces have not made any major moves!"

"It wouldn't be right to say they haven't taken any action. They should have already discovered Earth's secrets. The Cosmic Virtual Company has contacted me privately... Their attitude towards me is a bit bewildering!"

"I suspect they want to see how we perform before deciding their attitude towards Earth!"

"Your 'disappearance' over the past three years has also attracted considerable attention!"

Luo Feng recounted the events of the past three years, allowing the others in the group to understand the situation.

The people in the group were somewhat dazed upon hearing this.

Don't say it, really don't say it.

This feeling is quite amazing.

They had only been gone from this world for a few seconds.

Several years have already passed in this world.

time.

It truly is a wondrous power.

"Let them pay attention... In the end, they'll just have to resort to force anyway!"

"With the willow spirit's intervention, great scholars will naturally come to debate the classics for me!"

After understanding the situation, Shi Jian spoke calmly.

They are no longer nobodys in the world of Devouring the Stars.

After participating in the Cosmic Genius Battle, he disappeared for three years.

This is a big deal.

If some forces investigate carefully, they could probably uncover quite a bit of information about them...

disappear suddenly.

Then it suddenly appeared again.

It would be strange if it didn't attract attention.

But these are all minor matters, it doesn't matter!
As long as Liu Shen takes action, those forces will naturally "imagine" it themselves!
Luo Feng nodded. It's great to have someone protecting you!
Soon, the group entered the virtual universe and headed to the gathering places of various cosmic nations!
On a floating island in the Qianwu Continent.

Everyone in the group has appeared here!
"Mr. Xiao Yan, Mr. Luo Feng... this way please!"

The cosmic warrior standing next to the teleportation point, dressed in work clothes, smiled and pointed out the path to everyone...

Hearing that the person addressed him first, Xiao Yan was so proud of himself that he strutted away and led the way along the path beside him.

The people in the group were speechless upon seeing this.

Then he followed.

After a while.

They arrived at a square surrounded by flowers and plants.

There are hundreds of people here.

These are all people who have secured a spot.

These people looked horrified when they saw Luo Feng's men arrive.

"They're here... Xiao Yan, Luo Feng, those monsters, those Earthlings are here!"

The preliminary rounds of the Cosmic Genius Tournament.

There is something similar to a pre-recorded video!

Some seeded players who have passed the qualifiers will have their footage during the competition closely watched by other players!

Xiao Yan and the others...

no doubt.

The best of the best.

The scene of their qualifiers was circulated by countless people.

Almost every contestant knew them.

I've witnessed their methods...

People naturally knew how terrifying these people were.

Many people looked at Xiao Yan and the others with awe!

The people in the group ignored these people and simply stayed quietly in place, waiting for instructions.

Soon after.

A giant dressed in scale armor and wearing a helmet arrived.

The giant's gaze lingered on the group of people for a moment before he spoke: "The thousand geniuses of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom will be led by me according to the king's orders!"

"Alright, let's go!"

……

Led by the giant in the scale armor, a group of people activated the teleportation and arrived in a brand new space created by the virtual universe.

This is a vast continent.

As soon as their team arrived, arrangements were immediately made!

There are 1008 skyscrapers in the distance.

Each building represents a team from a cosmic nation!
A group of people headed to the building of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

People from other cosmic nations noticed the arrival of the Qianwu cosmic nation.

Countless peerless geniuses from other universes exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Xiao Yan and his companions!
"They're here...the people from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom are here!"

"Look, that's Xiao Yan. His comprehension of the Law of Fire is terrifying. His martial arts are very special; his Law of Fire can actually cover an entire world..."

"The other few are also incredibly strong. Almost everyone of them has comprehended the laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Even if thousands of people joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for them in a single move!"

Anyone who had watched the preliminaries' match recordings in the group looked at the people in the group with awe!
Judging from the situation during those qualifiers.

These people are completely different from them.

The various cosmic nations are not lacking in peerless geniuses.

However terrifying these prodigies may be, they cannot kill thousands of experts of the same realm in a single move...

For these people, this is just basic stuff.

How can they possibly compete with such a group of monsters?
Many people have also seen videos of geniuses from other universe nations.

Phantom Galesi...

Lightsaber Aichen...

Rong Jun...

A large group of people, all of whom are incredibly powerful.

It can instantly kill anyone of the same level.

But this kind of instant kill only happens when there are fewer enemies!
Too many ants can kill an elephant.

Even these unparalleled geniuses, suddenly facing thousands, or even tens of thousands, of experts of the same realm...

Then all that's left is to drink in resentment.

but.

Xiao Yan and his group are different.

They became so powerful that it was terrifying.

Those from the same region were merely cannon fodder in their eyes.

Quantity.

It won't bring about any qualitative change at all!
……

Time passes quickly.

Given the strength demonstrated by the members of the group, they are unlikely to be subjected to mindless provocation...

Moreover, those who have participated in the Cosmic Genius Battle and reached this stage are almost all geniuses.

Nobody's bored enough to do something like that.

therefore.

quickly.

The battle of cosmic geniuses has begun!

Millions of geniuses who had passed the preliminary rounds were instantly summoned to the plaza, where 1008 immortal beings stood.

These immortal beings exuded a terrifying aura.

"Welcome to the Ultimate Genius Battle hosted by Virtual Universe Corporation!"

A gentle voice rang out, and a man dressed in a blue battle robe with purple scales on his head appeared in front of this person!

The aura emanating from him was extremely terrifying.

These are people from the Universe Virtual Company.

He stood in the void, looking down at the countless geniuses below. His gaze lingered on Xiao Yan, Luo Feng, and the others for a moment. "Our Virtual Universe Company will select the strongest among you to join the core of the Virtual Universe Company!"

"Tomorrow, you will enter a trial space containing seven trial towers, each with seven levels... Start from the first trial tower, and after passing the seventh level of the first tower, proceed to the second..."

"Until you die!"

"Your scores will be calculated based on your performance in the trial space... The top 100 scorers will be directly recruited by the Virtual Universe Company..."

"After the top 100, go to the arena for the final battle..."

This powerful figure representing the Virtual Universe Corporation announced the rules very briefly, and then waved his hand dismissively.

An invisible force descended upon the entire plane.

Countless geniuses were instantly teleported away.

……

Shi Jian appeared on a meteorite, his gaze sweeping around him, where many tiny stars were visible!
"This Virtual Universe Company is indeed impressive... It can create millions of trial spaces in an instant, and each trial space is so realistic!"

Shi Jian sighed inwardly.

The virtual world is similar in concept to the virtual god realm.

However, its application technology is more advanced than that of the Virtual God Realm.

The Realm of the Illusory Gods.

Unlike the virtual world, you can't freely create and customize your own world!
Shi Jian turned his gaze to the seven trial towers in front of him!

Each trial tower was as tall as a mountain, nestled among the meteorites.

"The Trial Tower..."

Shi Jian glanced at the rules briefly, then walked directly into the Trial Tower.

There's not much to say about the rules of the Trial Tower.

Just kill without thinking.

"Let's make a quick decision..."

"Shatter the darkness with thunder!"

Shi Jian's figure hovered high in the sky, endless lightning surging around him, and a ray of light shone like the sun.
Lightning field.

The Realm of Light.

In the realm of lightning, Shi Jian derived and comprehended it from the lightning magic within his own body...

The Domain of Light was created by Shi Jian using his Heavenly Fist and Dominator Domain...

[First Trial Tower, First Floor]
[Ten thousand ferocious blood-haired mammoths. You get one point for each one you kill. Once you kill them all, you will receive 10,000 points and be teleported to the second floor.]
As the trial information appeared, lightning roared around Shi Jian, and countless blood-haired mammoths were annihilated by the lightning!

……

"The Great Wilderness Prisoner's Finger!"

Lin Dong's gaze was icy, and the five elements domains of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth simultaneously emerged from his body. The five elements domains evolved and combined with the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!

Five fingers, each representing one of the five elements, descended from the sky and slammed down into the horde of ferocious beasts.

"Xiao Yan... I refuse to believe it! This time, your score will be higher than mine? And your completion time will be faster than mine!"

……

"Sword energy stretches across thirty thousand miles, a single sword strike chills nineteen provinces!"

Lin Feng swept his longsword horizontally, and the terrifying Law of Metal permeated the air. The Law of Metal, carrying sword energy, swept across the entire trial field!

All the ferocious beasts seemed to be frozen in time.

Only after Lin Feng gracefully entered the second level did these ferocious beast corpses belatedly split in two!
Lin Feng didn't even glance back, just picked up his sword and walked forward resolutely!

If Meng Qi were to see this scene, he would probably be green with envy.

This is exactly the scene he dreamed of!

A handsome swordsman.

A dashing swordsman!
……

"Yang Fire!"

"Yin Fire!"

"Yin Yang Buddha's Wrathful Lotus!"

Xiao Yan held Yang Fire in his left hand and Yin Fire in his right, unleashing a fire domain around his body. He then began to rub the two flames together.

After the flames merged, a violent power was unleashed.

Xiao Yan threw himself directly into the horde of ferocious beasts.

A familiar, terrifyingly powerful fire lotus blooms!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan vanished from the first level in a flash.

He wants to defend his championship title.

We will never waver.

……

Fang Han's domain canopy unfolded, with the domains of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth mixed with the domain of lightning, and countless divine lightning bolts of the five elements descended from the sky!

In an instant.

All the ferocious beasts were annihilated.

He stepped onto the second floor.

……

Yang Qi threw a punch forward, with countless divine lights emanating from behind him.

The area illuminated by the light.

All things perish.

The Law of Light!

He stepped onto the next floor!
……

Shi Hao, Luo Feng, Meng Qi, and others also broke through the first level almost immediately.

They all possess supernatural abilities that can be unleashed over a wide area.

The reason why he lost to Xiao Yan before.

That's because the world zone during the qualifiers was too big.

Moreover, Xiao Yan had the advantage of timing and location.

That's why I lost to him.

Now, let's climb the tower.

The geographical area is almost entirely restricted.

The group was able to clear out all the monsters almost immediately.

……

virtual universe.

In the central square, over 1000 immortal beings, along with some high-ranking members of the Virtual Universe Company, were monitoring the progress of the group's ascent of the tower...

Xiao Yan and his group were originally their primary targets.

But after seeing how the others performed...

I was completely baffled.

"This is a human...I'll eat it!"

Everyone was stunned.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Lightning, Time, Space, Wind!

Ten Laws.

Xiao Yan and his group.

Almost everyone understands the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) and the laws of lightning!

How are other people supposed to play?
