Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 62 Surpassing Berlan? (4k)

"It's Luo Feng from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"

"Is he Luo Feng?"

Who is Luo Feng?

"Yeah, I've never heard of him. Is he really that strong?"

"I don't know about his strength. He once instantly killed someone named 'Jingyue' in their own universe. But I just heard from a genius from the Qianwu universe that he is a disciple of the True Yan King!"

"..."

Among the crowd, some people began to ask who the True King was.

After learning that Luo Feng was a powerful immortal second only to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, and an invincible king, many people's gazes towards Luo Feng changed.

Berlan heard the discussion and looked in the direction the crowd was looking.

"Luo Feng?"

"A disciple of the invincible king?"

The two looked at each other.

"I hope you can give me some challenges."

For the first time, Berlan's cold and calm face showed some movement, and he opened his mouth to say these words.

Luo Feng smiled and said:

"it is good."

"I've been looking forward to this for a long time too, but I hope that after you've witnessed my strength, you can still say these words so calmly."

Tomorrow is the selection process for the 'Trial Tower'.

He has no need to hide his strength; he's ready to showcase his talent along the way!

Luo Feng knew very well that with his current strength, Bo Lan posed no threat whatsoever, and Chen Qi had already set his next target:
'Korthy-level genius'.

It is to take a genius named 'Korthy' as a benchmark and achieve what he once accomplished.

of course.

The requirement of a fatal rollover does not need to be met.

One of Corti's notable achievements:
A test in the virtual universe: Passing all three realms of the Primordial Tongtian Mountain!
There are cosmic level, domain lord level, and 'world lord level'.

The three requirements for passing the level are:
The Sky Bridge has twelve floors, the Sky Bridge has sixteen floors, and the Sky Bridge has twenty floors!

Chen Qi also said that the minimum requirement for someone like a 'Cosmic Venerable' is only the comprehension of the laws of the Bridge to Heaven at the twenty-first level.

This means that at the World Lord level, one's understanding of the laws must be close to that of a Universe Venerable, which is an enormous challenge!

Bolan simply nodded after hearing Luo Feng's words, his gaze remaining icy. He did not believe he would lose to a disciple who had achieved the highest rank of King.

His goal is to comprehend both the laws of time and the laws of space simultaneously.

Take the most open and honest road!
Berlan strolled away casually, not even glancing at anyone else...

"Have these two issued a challenge?"

"I don't know, but my feeling is that both of them are eager for a worthy opponent."

"..."

Luo Feng was not as reclusive as Bo Lan.

Along with Rong Jun, I met some geniuses:
Many people are curious about his strength and are happy to make friends with the siblings 'Uka', 'Aichen', 'Jiangmo', and 'Qianshui' from Manka Star, and so on.

However, this timeline is destined to have no 'Three Heroes of the Primordial Era'.

"Luo Feng doesn't have time to accompany 'Uka' to play in the Primordial Secret Realm. The cultivation conditions in the Primordial Secret Realm are far superior to those in the Primordial Secret Realm."

Chen Qi leisurely observed the situation outside.

evening.

The 'man in green robes' representing the Virtual Universe Company teleported all the geniuses out and explained the rules.

Chen Qi listened for a moment, and there was basically no change.

Tomorrow morning, the 'Trial Tower' will be held, where everyone will enter a trial space containing seven towers.

Each tower has seven stories.

You can only enter the next floor after you have cleared all the floors of a tower. The top 7300 players with the highest scores will advance.

The top 100 will directly become core members of the Virtual Universe Company.

“There are forty-nine levels in total. Bolan lost on the first floor of the seventh tower... which means that Luo Feng’s current strength is likely enough to clear the level.” Chen Qi thought to himself.

The Trial Tower is designed to prevent players from having the combat power to clear it.

But
The original Tongtian Mountain also followed this standard, but unlike other places, it attracted a succession of extraordinary geniuses with great opportunities, who broke the rules.

Chaos City.

Inside the residence of King Zhenyan.

Two guests came today, and they called out loudly:

“True Evolution”.

"Longyu, Tongnan, what brings you two here? I don't have any good wine here." When King Zhenyan saw that it was the two of them, he didn't get up to greet them. He just pointed to the two seats in front of him, indicating that they should sit there.

The three of them are best friends, so there's no need for formalities.

"Who cares about your little bit of alcohol?"

Tong Nanwang retorted speechlessly.

However, since Queen Longyu had come with a mission, she stopped the two from speaking and immediately asked:

"The Nine Swords Venerable sent me to ask you what's so special about Luo Feng that even True King Yan would take a liking to him?"

"I'm also quite curious about this. Even if you, Zhenyan, are going to take on disciples, is it really necessary to do it so early?" King Tongnan said. "Once we arrive in Chaos City, and you, King Zhenyan, say you want to take on disciples, can he refuse?"

"It's like if we don't collect now, we won't get a turn later."

"Tong Nan, you know what, if I don't take on disciples now, I might not get a chance later." King Zhenyan thought of the boy's talent for comprehending the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele' and sighed inwardly.

At the same time, he absolutely could not have started to analyze the essence of spatial laws just by listening to lectures without ever having seen the Nine Universe Chaos Stele.

The first three images of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

Those 108 essences, which are also those 108 water droplets, are the foundation for analyzing the laws of the universe!

"You're praising a mere stellar-level kid like he's some kind of god. In my opinion, he's already incredibly lucky to have beaten this year's Bolan." Longyu Wang was somewhat speechless.

"Heh." King Zhenyan chuckled.

He knew Luo Feng's current level, 'Bolan'? There was really no pressure at all. In the eyes of the True Yan King, Luo Feng was already so strong even without truly comprehending the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele'. After he truly cultivated in Chaos City for a period of time...

He is probably a genius comparable to 'Koti'!

That Kodi was born several hundred thousand years earlier than True King Yan, and was known as the 'Number One Genius of Hundreds of Millions of Eras'!
He had actually witnessed the rate of improvement of such geniuses.

Finally, King Longyu asked, "Stop laughing, Zhenyan, tell me quickly, what's so special about Luo Feng? This is a task given to me by the Venerable!"

"..." King Zhenyan pondered for a moment.

He then said:

“Luo Feng has an extremely high talent in the laws of space, and his cultivation direction is different from Bo Lan’s. Bo Lan cultivates space at the same time, and also cultivates the laws of wind. The laws of wind are related to time, which are not compatible with space.”

"As for Luo Feng, he cultivates the Law of Metal and the Law of Space. His talent in the Law of Space is far superior to his talent in the Law of Metal, but his talent in the Law of Metal is definitely not weak either." "Furthermore..."

"Under my guidance, I estimate that Berlan wouldn't last more than a few moves against Luo Feng."

"In short, if you reply to Nine Swords Venerable, Luo Feng will definitely be the number one in this year's Genius Battle, and that's almost impossible to change."

"Luo Feng is very likely to become a future Universe Venerable!"

"Lord of the Universe?"

"Our human race hasn't produced a Universe Venerable for many years, and you, True King Yan, have been stuck at this level for countless years, making no progress. Are you sure what you're saying is true? I need to report this to the Venerable." King Longyu couldn't help but press.

King Zhenyan nodded.

When King Longyu and King Tongnan saw that King Zhenyan was so certain and didn't seem to be joking, they were slightly taken aback.

They always thought that the King of Zhenyan had just taken a liking to Luo Feng as a disciple by chance, and that he simply liked Luo Feng as a person, rather than because of his outstanding talent.

But now it seems that's not the case.
The next morning.

The trial space is about to open.

Many participants were filled with anxiety. One universe nation had 1000 people, and 1008 universe nations had 1,008 people!

But today's trial space will eliminate more than a million people.

Only 7,300 people remain!

Uka glanced at Luo Feng and Rong Jun.

His initial goal in participating in the Genius Battle was to win first place in the entire universe's Genius Battle, but later he saw information about a genius.

Uka realized that he probably had no hope.

Especially that Death God Berlan.

"Luo Feng, Rong Jun, let's cheer each other on."

"Especially you, Luo Feng, I bet a lot of people are watching you, wanting to see if you really have any skills."

Luo Feng smiled and said:

"Whether they have the ability or not, they'll see soon enough."

"Well said! I also want to fight that Berlan!" The savage youth Rong Jun had a strong fighting spirit in his eyes; he had quite a few hidden tricks up his sleeve that he hadn't shown yet.

In the corner, 'Jingyue' also glanced this way, then quickly looked away, feigning casualness as she looked at Luo Feng, muttering to herself, 'I lost to a disciple of the invincible King-level expert, so it shouldn't be shameful.'

'That teacher is far stronger than my ancestor, Mo Yue. Isn't it normal for him to lose?'

at this time.

A sound came from afar:
"Contestants, get ready! You will be teleported to your respective 'trial space' shortly! Prepare for battle."

A teleportation wave descended, and in the blink of an eye, all the contestants in the entire 1008 buildings and plaza disappeared.

The interior of the trial space is a boundless virtual world.

Since Luo Feng stepped into this unknown territory, he began to carefully observe the surrounding environment and found himself standing on the surface of a huge meteorite.

He stood atop the meteorite, gazing into the distance, trying to capture a more distant view.

The distant horizon was blurred, a starry sky... seemingly containing endless mysteries and unknown dangers.

At the edge of the field of vision, seven towering towers can be clearly seen, each standing independently and maintaining a certain distance from one another.

[Contestant: Luo Feng (Qianwu Universe Kingdom)]

"There are seven trial towers in total. You can get 1 points for clearing the first floor of the first tower. If you clear all seven floors, you will get a total of 7 points. The scoring rules for the second tower are 10 points for the first floor, and 70 points for all seven floors... and so on."

Luo Feng, riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle, took out the Divine Weapon and flew at an extremely fast speed towards the first trial tower, ready to meet its challenge.

Ganwu Universe Country.

"What exactly is the reason that King Zhenyan is so fond of Luo Feng?" King Qianwu observed curiously, based on his keen eyesight and the last piece of information passed on by 'Copper Barbarian'.

Luo Feng's strength is even inferior to Bo Lan's.

Logically speaking, it's unlikely that King Zhenyan would be so eager to take on disciples.

Regarding the fact that he had no disciples to take on, he instead joined the tutelage of King Zhenyan.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom did not feel any disappointment. He did not feel that he had missed any important geniuses. After all, as a high-level cosmic venerable, one or two geniuses were nothing to him.
However, the debt he was burdened with often made him unhappy.

"Well, since I have nothing better to do anyway, I'll just have to see what makes Luo Feng so special."

“The True King’s acceptance of a disciple is not necessarily entirely based on talent. Perhaps he simply thinks Luo Feng has something to offer.”

At this moment, the Nine Swords Venerable was also watching this battle of geniuses through the virtual universe, focusing his attention on the two individuals.

One is:

'Berlan'!
The other one is:
'Luo Feng'!
“Berlan is a genius who appears only once every ten thousand epochs. He will definitely be my right-hand man in the future, and he deserves my serious attention.”

As for Luo Feng…

"There is too little information about him. There is only a scene of him killing a little guy named 'Jingyue' once, but that Jingyue was too weak to be used as a valid reference."

“Berlan has already begun to move.”

"First place. A commanding lead."

The Nine Swords Venerable watched.

In the scene, Berlan charged to the front decisively, unleashing hundreds of phantoms. With each slash of his blood sword, a large number of 'blood-haired mammoths' perished.

The first level of the Trial Tower only contains a mere ten thousand blood-haired mammoths.

It wasn't that difficult to kill them.

"Luo Feng...he moved too!"

The Nine Swords Venerable watched both scenes simultaneously. He saw Luo Feng riding the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, transforming into hundreds of illusory bodies. With a single slash, countless blood-haired mammoths lay down.

"I can't tell anything."

"The first level is still too weak."

"Zhen Yan actually said that Luo Feng is the future Universe Venerable? I want to see if Zhen Yan is just talking big."

In the Qianwu Universe Kingdom region, Thirteen watched as Luo Feng dominated the battlefield, rapidly climbing the leaderboard and quickly reaching second place, closely trailing 'Bolan's' score, and couldn't help but smile.

"Thirteen, it's been so long since I've seen you smile."

"That's right. The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has produced two outstanding geniuses: Rong Jun and Luo Feng, the disciple of the True Yan King."

Speaking of King Zhenyan, Thirteen turned around and saw King Zhenyan sitting with King Longyu and King Tongnan. They were talking about something, but they muted their voices and didn't talk to them.

If they heard what the three of them, Zhenyan Wang, said, they would probably be shocked.

“Zhen Yan, I don’t think Luo Feng’s level is as amazing as you’ve made him out to be, let alone some future cosmic venerable.” Tong Nan Wang habitually argued.

“Yes, yes, you’re right, but if Luo Feng gets first place, you have to let me taste that ‘Five-Colored Star’ again.” King Zhenyan ignored him and said directly.

King Tongnan glared and said:

"impossible."

"Who knows what mischief you're up to."

"You two, stop arguing. You agreed to come and watch Zhenyan's disciple participate in the Genius Battle, why are you arguing?" Longyu King was speechless. "Look, Luo Feng's score is about to surpass Bolan's."

King Tong Nan immediately looked over:
"Beyond Berlan?"
