Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 112 Genius Girl Ai Chen

"That's right! I'm not bragging, but the first place in this year's Genius Battle is definitely going to be from my Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"

Thirteen patted his chest, brimming with confidence, and said.

Low key?

Keep it low-key my ass!

A perfect comedian just happened to appear, so it would be a shame not to make the most of this great opportunity.

Seeing Thirteen spout such outrageous remarks, the immortals present were all extremely surprised.

"Hmph! Thirteen, my Noah Universe Kingdom has the God of Death, Bolan, who can slay Lu Jinrongjun."

At this moment, an immortal clad in crimson divine armor, with a crimson-gold horn atop his head, coldly snorted.

As everyone knows, whenever someone says "I'm not bragging," it means they're about to start exaggerating.

He was well aware of Berlan's strength.

He simply didn't believe that among the 1008 universe kingdoms, the Qianwu universe kingdom, which ranked slightly lower, could produce a genius stronger than Bolan in this year's genius battle.

"Berlan? Trash! Axe, wanna bet with me?"

Thirteen, brimming with confidence, said with a disdainful look.

That guy Ax is such a sarcastic person, I just can't stand looking at him.

"What are you betting on?"

The immortal leader of the Noah Universe, 'Ax', responded without hesitation.

"Let's play it a little and get 100 million mixed units."

Everyone here is welcome to participate. I'll be the host, but I won't accept orders below 100,000 Hunyuan units.

In this year's Genius Battle, the first place will absolutely belong to my Qianwu Universe Kingdom. I, Thirteen, said it myself: no matter who comes, it won't matter!

Thirteen crossed his arms across his chest, his gaze looking down on all the immortals in the arena.

"Damn, so arrogant?"
"How much fake alcohol did they drink?"

"Fake alcohol? Thirteen has probably drunk several bottles of Firmor Venom!"

Thirteen's boundless arrogance immediately drew the ire of many of the restaurant's most loyal customers.

The finals haven't even started yet!

This guy's already set it up? Unacceptable!

With Thirteen being so arrogant, there must be an extraordinary genius emerging in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

But even knowing this, they accepted it.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your reputation!
Those present were all Marquis-level Immortals who followed the Lord of the Universe. Ten thousand Chaos Units was nothing much.

"What's the use of just talking? If you're so capable, why don't you beat me into bankruptcy!"

Thirteen continued his arrogant taunts.

Can't stand it?
You should definitely not tolerate it!

Why aren't you coming over here to deliver the Primordial Unit to me?
On the other side, Building 0825.

"Lu Jin, shall we go to the square and take a look?"

Luo Feng extended an invitation.

Most of the teams from the 1008 cosmic nations have already arrived by now.

There were countless geniuses in the square, and Luo Feng wanted to go and see them, to witness the geniuses from other universe countries.

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded and did not refuse.

The clone was training in the Wild Beast Secret Realm, while the main body was comprehending the laws of light. At present, it was just a wisp of consciousness that logged into the virtual universe.

If there is no fierce battle, it will not affect the cultivation in reality.

With nothing else to do and nothing to do anyway, I figured I might as well go to the square and take a look.

Afterwards, the two of them, along with Hong and Thor, went to the square.

"Look, Lu Jin, the Light Demon, and Luo Feng."

"I heard that the Radiant Divine Weapon of the Light Demon Path has reached its second major stage of mastery and has the strength to take a place in the top ten?"

"That's too conservative. Even if this year's level is relatively high, finishing in the top three should be no problem."

"That's right. Looking back at previous years, most of the first-place winners couldn't beat him."

"Speaking of which, what's going on with the Qianwu Universe Kingdom this year? There's Lu Jin, the Light Demon, who's predicted to be in the top three, and Rong Jun, who's predicted to be in the top ten. This is seriously inconsistent with the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's previous performance."

"Luo Feng is also good. During the preliminary selection, he had already reached the first level of the Divine Weapon Realm with seven illusory swords. Now, it is possible that he has achieved the first level of mastery."

"."

The whispers of the surrounding geniuses reached the ears of Lu Jin and his companions.

"Ah~"

Thor shook his head and sighed, then smiled and said, "If Lu Jin is a dazzling diamond and Luo Feng is shining gold, then Hong Ge and I are just two things on the side of the road?"

Hearing this, Lu Jin comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Although you two are old enough to be grandfathers, you are still very young compared to other geniuses."

Lu Jin dares to guarantee that of the 1,080,000 geniuses who make it to the finals of the Genius Battle, more than 99.9% are over 100 years old.

Hong and Lei Shen: "."

"Haha~"

Luo Feng was amused.

To be honest, if nothing unexpected happens, Lu Jin is probably the youngest among all the geniuses participating in the finals. He just turned 26 a month ago.

Of course, he wasn't very old either, only six years older than Lu Jin.

Thor glared at Luo Feng, who was laughing loudly, and looked at Lu Jin, saying, "Hey Lu Jin, are you still single?"

There are so many geniuses here, and plenty of beautiful geniuses who fit our Earthling aesthetic standards. Why don't you find a girlfriend?

"Thor is right, Lu Jin, you should find a girlfriend."

Hong nodded in agreement.

"That's right, cousin, my Xiaoping and Xiaohai are almost in middle school."

Luo Feng also started to join in the commotion.

Before Lu Jin could speak, Thor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a spot not far ahead: "Lu Jin, look over there."

Hearing the sound, Lu Jin looked in the direction Thor was pointing.

Not far ahead, a tall and stunningly beautiful young woman was strolling in the square.

The girl strolling by looked like a legendary angel, with two pairs of not-so-large wings spreading behind her, a deep blue crystal between her brows, wearing pink and white armor, and pink twin ponytails, making her look cute and playful. Thor said, "I previously collected information on famous geniuses from various cosmic kingdoms. Her name is Aichen, nicknamed 'Lightsaber,' from the Dreamwing Clan, and I heard she has the strength to challenge for the top ten."

Although the Dream Wing Clan does not possess Domain Lord-level bloodlines like the Manka Star People or the Wild God Clan, they still possess a second-class human bloodline that is cosmic-level upon adulthood.

'She's good-looking and talented too.'

Lu Jin glanced at Ai Chen's pink pigtails and thought to himself.

That said, shouldn't I find a girl?

Although in a world where the strong live forever, having offspring is not necessarily required.

But life is incomplete without a girl.

Just as Lu Jin was pondering to himself, Ai Chen, who was strolling in the square in the distance and looking around, also noticed Lu Jin and his group of four.

'Light Demon Road Brocade?'

With a slight raise of her eyebrows, Ai Chen turned and walked towards Lu Jin, her pink pigtails swaying.

Lu Jin's name was on the list of final opponents that her father, the world lord, had collected for her, and he was ranked second only to Bolan, who was known as the 'Grim Reaper'.

Her father even said that Lu Jin, the "Light Demon," was likely no less powerful than Bolan.

Ai Chen strongly agrees with this point.

After all, what truly powerful genius would unleash their full potential during the preliminary rounds?
"Ai Chen".

As Ai Chen walked over to Lu Jin, he introduced himself with a smile.

Lu Jin nodded and said, "Lu Jin."

Ai Chen looked at Luo Feng and the other two.

"Luo Feng."

"flood."

"Thor".

Luo Feng and the other two said.

After nodding in greeting, Ai Chen looked at Lu Jin, eager to try, and said, "You've achieved the second level of the Radiant Divine Weapon. You're very strong. Can I challenge you?"

A talented girl?
Aichen felt that describing her as a 'warlike beauty' would be more appropriate.

Because in her view, only combat is the best way to cultivate oneself.

Of course, under normal circumstances, she wouldn't issue challenge invitations to everyone she meets.

The main reason is that 'Light Demon' Lu Jin is stronger than her, and the aura he exudes is the same as hers—light, not the darkness on the other side of light. He should be a more approachable person.

Moreover, my mother once said that the path to becoming a strong person is not necessarily lonely, and that it is a blessing in life to make some friends with good character.

"I am very strong, are you sure you want to challenge me?"

Lu Jin countered with a question.

Ai Chen replied without hesitation, "I'm not afraid you're not strong enough, I'm just afraid you're not strong enough."

You're both geniuses. You might be very strong, but I doubt you're at a level I need to look up to.

Lu Jin nodded: "I agree. Can I ask you a question?"

Ai Chen smoothed the bangs that were falling across his forehead and smiled, "Go ahead."

Lu Jin asked, "Have you ever been in a relationship?"

This girl is beautiful and talented; she makes a great first impression.

If you have no dating experience, that seems like a good option?

Wow~, are you trying to pursue me?

Ai Chen covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "Mr. Lu, how old are you?"

"Not yet 100 years old."

Lu Jin said.

Upon hearing this, Ai Chen raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "In our Dream Wing Clan, all members below the Universe Level are minors. As someone who's not yet an adult, I have no romantic experience~"

However, Ai Chen immediately changed his tone and said seriously, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, my goal is to become a strong person. Please forgive me for rejecting your pursuit."

man?

Men will only slow down her sword-drawing speed!

—These are the words of advice from an elderly father to his beloved daughter, and she wholeheartedly agrees with them.

Lu Jin waved his hand and said seriously, "You misunderstood, I was just asking."

"Is it?"

Ai Chen looked at Lu Jin suspiciously, then nodded and said, "Alright, I misunderstood you. If you have time in the future, please don't refuse my challenge."

"You really enjoy fighting?"

"No, it's fighting strong opponents that makes me stronger."

Ai Chen's eyes were full of determination.

"It seems you're a warmonger, just like me."

Since we share the same interests, how about we make a bet?

"How to say?"

"In the subsequent finals, you and I should be opponents at times."

If you win, from now on we'll address each other as brother and sister, and if you tell me to go east, I'll never go west.

But if I win, we will address each other as brother and sister.

At this moment, Lu Jin looked somewhat like a strange uncle trying to show a young girl goldfish.

The only slightly incongruous thing is that the strange uncle is definitely much younger than the girl, but it's not a big problem.

"This"

Ai Chen hesitated. Lu Jinyao had achieved the second level of mastery of his divine weapon, and she saw no hope of winning.

But siblings?

Will you spoil me like my older brothers have always doted on me?

"What, you don't have the courage to defeat me?"

Lu Jin asked with a smile.

After a moment's hesitation, Ai Chen said, "I heard you can wield the second-stage perfected Radiant Divine Weapon. I'm no match for you, unless..."
