Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 158 Unlucky Child!
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

In the central square, a thousand peerless geniuses gathered here early.

"Sir!"

Seeing the man in the green battle robe appear, thousands of immortal beings hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Ok!"

The Nine Swords Master nodded slightly, then looked down at the 1000 young people below.

"Today, we will select the top 1000, top 100, first and second place winners from among the of you."

"Are you all ready?"

"The decisive battle begins now!"

The Nine Swords Master waved his hand, and 100 huge arenas appeared directly on the central square. There was a strange black silk net covering the edge and top of each arena.

At the same time, 200 talented people who had been selected, including Yang Wu, Bolan, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Galasi, etc., were directly teleported into the arena.

Most of the other geniuses who were not qualified to participate in the battle, as well as thousands of immortal beings, also set their sights on the two arenas of Yang Wu and Bolan.

There were no accidents in Yang Wu's ring. He easily defeated his opponent and successfully entered the top 100.

The same thing happened to Bolan on the other side.

As time passed quickly, 100 geniuses were quickly selected.

"Congratulations! You can enter the secret realm of the virtual universe company!"

The Nine Swords Master stood in mid-air with a faint smile on his face, overlooking the 100 geniuses standing below.

"Now, the virtual universe system will select the best 20 of you."

"Yang Wu, Bo Lan, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Ai Chen... Wu Ka, Galesi, Tao!"

After announcing the names of the 20 people, the Nine Swords Master smiled and said, "You 20 can rest and recover from the previous battle. The next battle will begin in half an hour."

"As for who your opponent is... you'll know when we fight!"

In the central square, each of these selected geniuses hoped that they would not run into Yang Wu and Bolan.

Because no matter who they face, they have no hope.

On the other side, Yang Wu sat down.

He didn't feel any pressure. For him, no matter who his opponent was, there would be no accidents, as long as he didn't meet Luo Feng.

After all, the winners will enter the top ten in the Taichu Secret Realm, and the losers will enter the Tiandi Secret Realm. There is a big gap between the Taichu Secret Realm and the Tiandi Secret Realm.

About half an hour later.

"Rumble..."

The entire central square began to shake, and ten giant arenas gradually emerged in the center of the square, covered with a large number of black silk strips.

At the same time, the 20 people who were originally resting were instantly teleported into these ten giant arenas.

Inside the ring, many geniuses were sizing up their opponents, while the audience outside began to discuss the situation.

“How tragic!”

"That Long Yun actually ran into Bo Lan?"

"And Yang Wu's opponent is actually Yi Feng, the Sword of Life!"

"Oh, these two are done. There's no hope of them making it into the top ten!"

"Luo Feng versus the Phantom Demon Galesi? Hey, I think there's going to be something interesting to watch."

"Rong Jun and Opatera, both considered to be in the top ten, unexpectedly meet here."

……

Inside the arena.

Yang Wu looked at the shy boy in front of him. He remembered that this was one of the three "crazy" ones who had reached the end of the trial tower.

Sword of Life─Yi Feng!

Even when facing Yang Wu, this shy boy remained the same, his eyes full of love for life.

"Yang Wu, I know I'm no match for you, but I'll show you my swordsmanship..."

Yifeng slowly drew out his sword.

The sword is the continuation of his life, and his swordsmanship... interprets the splendor of life.

On the stage, sword beams filled with endless vitality lit up. ...

Ten arenas, ten battles.

The first one to win was Yang Wu, who ended the battle the fastest.

Next is Bolan. Long Yun’s defense is the best combination of the thickness of earth, space and domain, a perfect fit of the three.

Unfortunately, facing Bolan's attack, his defense was quickly torn apart.

Bolan wins!

On another stage.

Just like in the original novel, Luo Feng encountered the phantom demon Galese.

Galesi's "God of Deception" was terrifying, but facing an opponent as strong-willed as Luo Feng, his mental illusion lasted only a moment before...

collapsed!
After the illusion collapsed, Galesi was no match for Luo Feng with just his defensive means, and was killed by Luo Feng's golden illusion sword a moment later.

Luo Feng, win!

In one arena, the victorious green-haired girl Qianshui won, and her brother Jiang Mo also entered the top ten. Both the brother and sister were in the top ten.

The winners in the ten arenas appeared one after another.

Among these ten battles, the easiest victories were between Yang Wu and Bolan, and the most thrilling was the duel between Luo Feng and Galese.

But the most eye-catching thing was Rong Jun's knife.

Even though they had seen the fight between Rong Jun and Yang Wu, the terrifying sword strike on the ring was clearly a huge improvement over the previous one.

Top five strength!
Rong Jun definitely has the strength to be in the top five.

Even Bolan frowned slightly. Even if he himself was hit by the knife, it would not be easy to catch it.

Yang Wu silently calculated the time with a strange look on his face.

Rong Jun is such an unlucky kid.

As expected, he meets Bolan again, just like in the original novel.

"Congratulations to the ten winners! You've made it into the top ten, and your prize has increased to 10 Hunyuan units. You'll also gain access to the Taichu Secret Realm."

The Nine Swords Master appeared with a smile, glanced at everyone, and said, "Wait a moment, the top five will be selected from the ten of you, and the first and second place winners will be chosen from the top five."

"The virtual universe system has established rules. Based on the time you won in your previous battles, the fastest and slowest times will face off, and the second-fastest and second-slowest times will face off..."

"And so on!"

"Wow!"

In the central square, everyone was stunned, even the expressionless Bolan was a little surprised.

The order in which the previous battles ended was Yang Wu, Bolan, Luo Feng, Ai Chen, Jiang Mo, Qianshui, Wuka, Guluos, Rong Jun, and Lancelot.

So, if the fastest and the slowest fight each other, and so on...

Yang Wu versus Lancelot!
Bolan versus Rong Jun!

Luo Feng vs. Guluos!
Aichen vs. Uka!

Jiang Mo fights against Qianshui!

"The wild man Rong Jun is so unlucky that he actually ran into Bolan."

"Yes, with the strength he just unleashed, he is fully qualified to challenge for the third place. But now... no matter how terrifying his swordsmanship is, there is no possibility of winning!"

"Jiang Mo and Qian Shui, these two siblings actually met. This is going to be a good show to watch, but fortunately, both of them made it into the top ten."

"Luo Feng and Gu Siluo, the battle between them will definitely be very exciting. They are both masters of spiritual mind control, and they are ranked third and fourth in the Trial Tower."

After the Nine Swords Master announced the rules, many immortal beings and geniuses began to discuss in the audience.

In fact, this genius battle can be declared over. After all, the two places in the original secret realm have basically been reserved by Yang Wu and Bolan.

The most important battle in the following battle is the peak showdown between Yang Wu and Bolan.

After half an hour.

In the central square, the original arena had long disappeared, but now it rose up again with a rumbling sound, and five more exquisite and gorgeous arenas appeared.

Yang Wu and other top ten geniuses were instantly teleported into the ring, and five of the strongest peak showdowns were about to begin!
