Devouring Stars, becoming Luo Feng's golden finger

Genius Battle Arena, inside Super Building 0825.

The thousand geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Country gathered, standing before the scaled-armor-clad giant 'Thirteen'. The latter glanced over them, pausing on Luo Feng in the crowd before speaking with a majestic tone,

"You all performed well this time. Besides Huang and Rong Jun, who ranked in the top 100 and directly obtained the qualifications to enter the core level of the Virtual Universe Company, there are also three others who entered within the top 7300, giving them a chance to compete for the remaining 900 spots."

"Apart from these five, the journey of the Genius Battle ends here for the rest of you."

Below, most of the geniuses looked dejected, but a small portion had determined gazes, thinking to themselves,

"Even if I don't enter the Virtual Universe Company, I will definitely make a name for myself!"

"Those who enter the Virtual Universe Company may not necessarily achieve more than us in the future."

These were all individuals with firm resolve, knowing that Star-level was merely the starting point of cultivation. The future was long and far, and who would have the last laugh was not certain.

Perhaps some of the geniuses who joined the Virtual Universe Company would eventually be trapped at the peak of the Domain Lord level, unable to break through, and die of old age when their lifespan ran out.

While some of those who didn't join the Virtual Universe Company, but only entered the Qianwu Secret Realm, would instead progress faster and faster, eventually accumulating enough power to become an immortal, or even a super powerhouse among immortals.

Anything was possible.

"Prepare yourselves well. The qualification battle will begin tomorrow," Thirteen said to Luo Feng and the other four.

Rong Jun turned his head to look at Luo Feng, his voice low, "Huang, you are very strong. I am not as good as you now. But... I will definitely surpass you and defeat you in the future!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Luo Feng looked at the spirited Rong Jun and smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.

He had also noticed Rong Jun's strength, which was indeed very strong.

But he could easily defeat him four or five years ago, let alone now.

Even a hundred Rong Juns would just be delivering food to him.

As for the future?

Luo Feng thought of his Golden Horned Beast main body, his Abyssal Demon clone, as well as the two major clones yet to be conceived, and 'Bai', thinking to himself,

"If I let you surpass me, what am I then?"

Shaking his head with a smile, Luo Feng's figure disappeared, preparing for the upcoming qualification battle.

#

The next day, early in the morning.

The 7300 geniuses, including Luo Feng and Rong Jun, gathered in the square.

An invisible pressure enveloped the entire arena.

A cyan-robed, purple-scaled man appeared out of thin air, floating in mid-air. It was Venerable Nine Swords. He looked at the geniuses below and slowly began to speak,

"First, congratulations to the trial participants ranked 1-100. You have already obtained the qualification to enter the core level of the Virtual Universe Company. However, our Virtual Universe Company never forces anyone, so if anyone is unwilling to join, you can state it in advance."

Silence!

No one spoke at all.

"Good."

Venerable Nine Swords nodded slightly and then began to announce the rules of the arena battle,

"The 7200 trial participants ranked 101-7300, according to your performance in the trial space, the Virtual Universe System has automatically arranged arena battles for you. Among them, those who win three consecutive battles will directly obtain a spot, while the losers will be eliminated."

7200 people, fighting three consecutive battles, would leave exactly 900 people.

Whoosh, after the rules were announced, the 7200 people immediately disappeared, entering the arena battles.

Only Luo Feng and the hundred of them remained.

"You wait for a moment. After the list of the remaining 900 people comes out, the qualification battle will begin," Venerable Nine Swords said. His gaze lingered on Luo Feng for a moment longer, but he didn't say anything, and his figure disappeared.

Luo Feng and the hundred of them looked at each other. Then, those who were together formed groups and found a place to watch the arena battles.

Luo Feng was originally alone, but on the way, he was stopped by a Man Kaxing teenager.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Wuka, from the Savage Universe Country."

The Man Kaxing people had pale skin, as if wearing a layer of armor, and were two and a half meters tall.

When Luo Feng saw Wuka, he couldn't help but think of the bottle of 'Domain Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Potion' he had obtained in the Realm Within a Realm.

According to Bai's analysis, the 'raw material' used in this Domain Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Potion was the Man Kaxing people. That bottle of potion was still lying in Luo Feng's spatial ring, which made Luo Feng feel a little strange.

A bloodline potion required at least several Man Kaxing people to make.

"Hello," Luo Feng nodded.

The two watched the arena battles while chatting. It was mainly Wuka who was enthusiastically talking, and Luo Feng mostly just listened to him. Not only did he learn some information about other geniuses, but he also learned some interesting facts about the Savage Universe Country.

For example, the Savage Universe Country was jointly ruled by the Man Kaxing people and the Barren God Clan, two major Domain Lord-level bloodline human races, and Wuka was the strongest Star-level talent among the current generation of the Man Kaxing royal family.

"That Ai Chen, who can challenge for the top ten, is a Dream Conch Wing Clan member. Don't look at her delicate appearance, but she is actually one of the pinnacle bloodlines of the human race, along with us Man Kaxing people and the Barren God Clan," Wuka gestured for Luo Feng to look at the stunning beauty sitting in a chair in front, with pure white wings and a crystal in the center of her brow, and said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Luo Feng glanced at Ai Chen, slightly surprised.

"Also, in that arena battle, that tall and thin figure wearing a black robe, known as 'Phantom Demon' Gallaixi, his race is called the Roar God Clan, which is also a Domain Lord-level bloodline. If we Man Kaxing people are naturally good at fighting, then the Roar God Clan are natural illusionists. Their attainments in illusions and mental attacks are extremely terrifying, simply the nemesis of warriors," Wuka, this Man Kaxing prince, kept talking.

Confirmed, he's a chatterbox. Luo Feng thought to himself.

However, because of this, he didn't feel so bored.

Half an hour later, the first round of the arena competition ended, and the 3600 people who advanced were again divided into groups of two to fight.

Another half an hour later, the 1800 people who advanced began to fight.

Then the third round...

Soon, the 900 spots were decided.

The qualification battle officially began!

#

"The 101st to 1000th place will receive a reward of 10 Chaos Units and can enter the Doomsday Secret Realm."

"The 11th to 100th place will receive a reward of 100 Chaos Units and can enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm."

"The 4th to 10th place will receive a reward of 1000 Chaos Units and can enter the Primordial Secret Realm."

"Finally, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will receive a reward of 10,000 Chaos Units and can enter the Original Secret Realm!"

After Venerable Nine Swords finished speaking, he paused and then said,

"Normally, in each Genius Battle, the 'Original Secret Realm' only accepts the first place. However, this year's competition is quite special, so after discussions and decisions made by the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company, two more spots have been specially added."

"Work hard, everyone has a chance."

After announcing this, Venerable Nine Swords disappeared.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately became fervent.

Originally, they had thought that entering the Original Secret Realm was hopeless, and at most they would enter the Primordial Secret Realm. After all, the strength of those two freaks, Luo Feng and Bolan, far exceeded them by a large margin, so it seemed that it would never be their turn.

But now that the new rules have been released, everyone is eager to try.

The welfare differences between the four major secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company are extremely large, so naturally, they must try their best to fight for it!

"Next, the qualification battle will begin. The Virtual Universe System has selected the best 100 people from the 900 people in the arena battle. These 100 people will have a one-on-one battle with the 100 people who initially advanced."

"The 100 winners will be qualified to enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, while the remaining 900 people will all enter the Doomsday Secret Realm." A magnificent and ethereal voice resounded throughout the square. As the words of the Virtual Universe System's intelligence fell, a screen immediately displayed a hundred groups of people.

But this obviously caused dissatisfaction among many geniuses.

"Virtual Universe Company! I have absolute confidence to break into the top 100, or even the top 20! Why directly eliminate me, not even giving me the qualification to fight!" A five-meter-tall youth with a vertical eye in the center of his brow said ferociously, with a crazy look flashing in all three eyes.

"Unfair!"

"Unfair!"

Many of the 800 geniuses who were not selected also began to jeer, feeling angry.

In response, the Immortals who were leading the teams only coldly snorted, and the geniuses who protested against the unfair rules fell to their knees, their faces pale, and in immense pain.

"A bunch of idiots." Most of the Immortal leaders watched with cold eyes, their expressions indifferent.

The virtual universe system AI also responded, its grand and ethereal voice echoing, "If you have any objections to the duel rules, you can choose not to join the Virtual Universe Company. My Virtual Universe Company never forces anyone to join."

Upon hearing this, even the geniuses who felt unwilling or even resentful could only endure it.

Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Uka, and the others watched this scene, all secretly shocked, deeply understanding the ruthless side of this Virtual Universe Company.

It's not the Virtual Universe Company begging you geniuses to join, but you geniuses begging to enter the Virtual Universe Company!

"Since there are no objections, the qualification battle will now begin," the grand voice announced.

Subsequently, Luo Feng and the other two hundred people were teleported in pairs to one hundred arenas.

Luo Feng's vision blurred, and he arrived at a silver-white arena with a radius of ten kilometers.

Opposite him stood a strong youth with dark skin and extremely thick lips, but this youth's expression was not so good, his eyes filled with unwillingness, cursing,

"Damn it, giving me this chance to compete for qualifications, but who the hell can seize this opportunity?"

The black-skinned youth gritted his teeth, roared angrily, and wielding a fifth-tier original force weapon 'Phantom Sword,' transformed into a dark storm, actively attacking Luo Feng.

Even if the ending is destined to be a loss, he must leave a mark on the opponent!

Boom!

Luo Feng directly threw out a bronze cauldron, the bronze cauldron instantly enlarging to thousands of feet in size, while at the same time, golden essences like flowing gold surged from the mouth of the cauldron, binding and suppressing the black-skinned youth.

Subsequently, the bronze cauldron directly crushed him into minced meat, shattering and dissipating.

The newest and most complete novels are at 6 9 Shu Ba, first published!

First battle, Huang, wins!

Before long, all the battles ended, and one hundred winners were determined.

On the plaza.

The grand voice announced again, "Among the one hundred winners, the virtual universe system will select 20 people to enter the second round of qualification battles, to determine the slots for the Primordial Secret Realm, while the remaining 80 people will enter the Heavenly Earth Secret Realm."

This time, no one dared to object or make a sound.

The grand voice announced the list of 20 people,

"Huang!"

"Bolan!"

"Aichen, Uka, Yifeng, Gusiluo, Galaxi, Rong Jun, Tao..."

When the list of twenty people was announced, those who were not named revealed expressions of unwillingness on their faces, sulking.

Among the twenty people who were named, including Bolan, all began to feel nervous and uneasy, silently praying in their hearts,

"Please don't let me meet Huang..."

Everyone had a consensus, which was that meeting 'Huang' meant certain defeat!

"Huang versus Galaxi!" the grand voice announced.

Bolan, Rong Jun, Uka, and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Uka even took an exaggerated deep breath, with a look of being saved, which left Luo Feng somewhat speechless.

Still on the silver-white arena with a radius of ten kilometers.

Luo Feng faced Galaxi, who was draped in a black robe and known as the 'Phantom Demon.'

As soon as the battle began, Galaxi's expression became ferocious, he snorted coldly, and unleashed his strongest illusion technique!

He indeed did not have the slightest confidence in dealing with Huang's frontal strength, but he was still incomparably confident in his illusion technique!

There was a chance to win!

However, Galaxi's soul attack was like mud entering the sea. Luo Feng's eyes were still clear and incomparably clear as he looked at the opponent, not affected by the illusion technique at all.

"Ah!" Galaxi's head ached so much that it felt like it was splitting open, feeling that the spiritual power that had entered Luo Feng's spiritual sea had been burned into nothingness by a flame. He was shocked in his heart. He had to know that even universe-level powerhouses would fall into an abyss-like endless illusion when attacked by his illusion technique, and then be killed by him.

This Huang was already so ridiculously strong, yet his soul will had no weaknesses at all? He could even injure his soul in return?

How would he know that Luo Feng not only had a will intensity that reached the peak of the universe level, but he had also cultivated the enhanced version of the 'Void Tower,' the 'Nine Heavens Spirit Tower.' Within five years, he had cultivated the 'Nine Heavens Spirit Tower' from the first layer of the pagoda realm to the second layer of the pagoda realm. The soul defense intensity of the second layer pagoda realm 'Nine Heavens Spirit Tower' exceeded the Void Tower by several times!

Galaxi's illusion technique would have to be at least five or six times stronger to possibly have a slight impact on Luo Feng. As for wanting to kill him with illusion techniques? It would have to be at least dozens or hundreds of times stronger!

Swish, the thousands-of-feet-tall bronze giant cauldron fell, suppressing and crushing the foolish Galaxi.

Second battle, Huang, wins!

The winners on the ten arenas appeared one after another.

They were Luo Feng, Bolan, Qianshui, Jiang Mo, Lansiluo, Uka, Aichen, Long Yun, Opatera, Rong Jun.

"You ten will enter the third round of qualification battles to compete for those three Original Secret Realm slots, while the eliminated ten will directly enter the Heavenly Earth Secret Realm," the grand voice announced.

Soon, the list of final battles was announced.

'Bolan' versus 'Rong Jun'

'Qianshui' versus 'Opatera'

'Jiang Mo' versus 'Long Yun'

'Lansiluo' versus 'Uka'

'Huang' versus 'Aichen'!

On the silver-white arena, Luo Feng looked at the great beauty 'Aichen' opposite, who had a pair of pure white wings.

The other party also looked at Luo Feng, biting her lip, a hint of regret and unwillingness revealed on her cold face.

However, Luo Feng was a family man, and at most he felt appreciation for external beauty, without any evil thoughts wavering him.

This time, he didn't use the Jiuzhou Cauldron, after all, smashing someone into a pile of minced meat was really not aesthetically pleasing. Luo Feng directly drew out the Blood Shadow Battle Blade,

'Golden Annihilation!'

The blade light transformed into a blazing sun, forcing towards Aichen.

Aichen held a sword, and with a soft shout, she instantly drew countless light swords to shoot towards the blazing sun. However, the thousands upon thousands of light swords were still swallowed and cut into the most basic units by the blazing sun.

Seeing this scene, Aichen's silver-white eyes flashed, and in the space around her, the flow of time faintly slowed down, causing the blazing sun transformed by the blade light to also slow down for a moment.

But it was useless. The difference in power level was too great, and this power had far exceeded her control over the rules of time. In the next instant, Aichen was swallowed by endless golden light, and her traces were erased like an eraser on a drawing board.

Third battle, Huang, wins!

#

"The eliminated five will directly enter the Primordial Secret Realm, and the winning five will each have a one-on-one battle with the other four. Winning one match earns 1 point, and the three people with the most points will obtain the Original Secret Realm slots."

The top five were: Luo Feng, Bolan, Qianshui, Uka, Long Yun. Four men and one woman, the only woman being the 'Qianshui' with green hair. Her brother 'Jiang Mo' also entered the top ten, but was eliminated by Long Yun.

This time, the final battle gave the five of them a little rest time.

"The final battle begins, teleportation activated," the grand voice sounded in the ears of the five.

Swish.

Luo Feng was teleported to the arena. Opposite him, Bolan, dressed in white and with a cold expression, also looked at him.

Neither side spoke. As soon as the battle began, Bolan separated into thousands of spatial phantoms, actually becoming stronger than during the previous trial tower.

"If I hadn't cultivated 'Golden Trace Rending the Sky,' you would still be considered a good opponent, but now..." Luo Feng thought to himself. He didn't even use the Myriad Threads Stream secret technique, but simply slashed out with a light swing of his blade.

An extremely thin golden thread seemed to blend into the space, instantly traversing several kilometers. Before Bolan's main body and his thousands of spatial phantoms could react, they were cut in half at the waist by the incomparably sharp 'spatial golden thread.'

The cut was incredibly smooth.

Before Bolan's figure shattered and dissipated, he took a deep look at Luo Feng, with a sense of relief, but even more of determination.

After defeating Bolan, Luo Feng also easily resolved the battles against Qianshui, Uka, and Long Yun.

Before long, the rankings of the five were determined.

Huang: Four wins, earning 4 points, first place

Bolan: Three wins, earning 3 points, second place

Long Yun: Two wins, earning 2 points, third place

Qianshui: One win, earning 1 point, fourth place

Uka: Zero wins, earning 0 points, fifth place.

Most people could accept this result. Only the emergence of the dark horse Long Yun attracted considerable attention. Many geniuses doubted Long Yun's strength, after all, there were several others with similar strength to Long Yun, while the gap between Long Yun and Bolan and Luo Feng was too great, clearly not on the same level.

To this, although Long Yun remained silent, his fists were clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth in his heart, "Huang, Bolan, you are only leading by a step now, I may not be able to catch up in the future!"

"This genius battle has come to a perfect end. Someone will contact you later and then take you to the Initial Universe."

Venerable Nine Swords looked at the thousand geniuses below and said with a smile,

"From now on, your path will no longer be ordinary."

"Whether you become a super powerhouse, or an ordinary powerhouse, or fall midway, it all depends on yourselves... Little guys, work hard."
