Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 79: Tactful Persuasion

"A battle of geniuses! Hahaha, if only I, Killian, hadn't been born, I would have just happened to encounter this battle of geniuses. Let me see the level of the other geniuses!"

"Five thousand years have passed again? Time really flies!"

"A grand event for all humanity, if only I could demonstrate my strength here—"

Listening to the discussions around him and looking at the list of names in the sky, Su Jing naturally knew what had happened. He hadn't expected that the battle of geniuses had begun!

He had been hesitant and waiting for the Genius Battle, since he predicted it would be in the next few years, allowing him to continue improving. Now, however, the Genius Battle was starting, leaving him little time. From registration to the start of the elimination rounds, there were only two months. While his current strength would place him in the top 1000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the Genius Battle, actually reaching that level would be difficult. He had only had the system for four months, yet he had already reached this point. His biggest weakness was his short cultivation period; not counting the previous thirty years, his true rise to prominence had only taken four months, although he had also had several years of respite in the dungeons. He had time, but he couldn't use it to comprehend the laws there. Laws still needed to be comprehended and improved in reality. In the Genius Battle, everyone's physical attributes were set the same, all at the ninth level of the Constant Star. What mattered was the laws, power exertion, domain, willpower, and these things. The most important law required him to work hard in reality. However, Su Jing was not disappointed at all. The first stage would be in two months, and he was sure he could pass it. He still had about three years before the second stage. Three years was enough time for him to raise the laws to a very high level in reality. With the help of the system's rewards, entering the Virtual Universe Company would not be a problem for him!

He was confident in himself, but now that the Genius Battle was about to begin, he had to revise some of his previous plans. In the coming days, he would focus on improving his understanding of the laws in reality. As long as his understanding of the laws was profound, he could get a good ranking. The higher the ranking, the better the treatment. Su Jing was really looking forward to this.

After all, once he joins the Virtual Universe Company, the secret techniques he currently lacks, some unique secret realms, suitable opponents, and environments can all be obtained. Therefore, he is determined to win the Genius Battle!

Without lingering in the square, he teleported directly to his father's manor. "Father!" Seeing his father sitting there, Su Jing greeted him instinctively. "You know what happened. There's been such a commotion outside. The once-in-five-thousand-years genius battle—do you have any plans?"

Franka asked while drinking tea. After all, ever since his son chose to go out and make his own way, his development had been somewhat incomprehensible to him. First, his realm improved, and then he encountered a great opportunity, directly comprehending a domain. Even after that, the speed of his domain's progress was extremely fast. Moreover, he could detect killing intent that even a cosmic level could not detect. This was something he never expected. A celestial level being able to comprehend a domain was definitely a first-class genius!

However, in the context of the Genius Battle, he was truly outmatched. Although he had never witnessed the Genius Battle, he had heard of it—a grand event where all the Hengxing-level geniuses of the entire human race fought together to determine the most talented Hengxing-level genius. He was fortunate enough to witness such a spectacle, but when he thought of Su Jing's situation, he fell silent. After all, Su Jing was merely an ordinary Hengxing-level third-tier genius before, and even with opportunities, only four months had passed. How much improvement could he have made?

If I participate in the Genius Battle —

What an injustice of fate! His son gets to participate in the Genius Battle, but can only watch, unable to showcase his abilities. Franka fears Su Jing might be discouraged and become despondent—that's not impossible—so she immediately contacted Su Jing to find out his thoughts. "Of course he has! This is a grand event that only five thousand people in the entire human race can experience once in a lifetime. And I just happen to be a Hengxing-level cultivator, so I can sign up!"

Su Jing smiled and said, after all, he had been looking forward to the Genius Battle for a long time. After the Genius Battle, he could break through to the Universe level, and then he could clear more dungeons and make himself stronger. Moreover, by entering the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle, he would be able to achieve faster development and improvement. "That's a good thing—but I have to pour some cold water on you. I know you have received a great opportunity and your strength has improved by leaps and bounds. You can be said to be invincible among the Hengxing level, but that's in the ordinary Hengxing level. In the Genius Battle, those top geniuses come from advanced universe countries, powerful secret realms, and immortal families. The genius Hengxing level geniuses they have cultivated are still different from you. There is still a gap between you and them. This gap is very large, and even your opportunity cannot compare."

Franka spoke tactfully, knowing that Su Jing's strength was certainly not what it used to be, but it was still insufficient for the Genius Battle. Therefore, to prevent Su Jing from being discouraged later, it was better to explain the situation to him now, at least to minimize the blow. After all, just thinking about it made him realize how incredibly powerful those true geniuses were, far beyond their reach.

"Father, please rest assured. I participated in the Genius Battle to broaden my horizons. I don't care what level I reach. I will never have any other thoughts. After all, I know the gap between myself and those top geniuses."

Su Jing thought about it and knew what his father was thinking. He was obviously afraid that his son would lose confidence after being discouraged by the geniuses in the Genius Battle. However, he probably didn't expect that his son was also one of these powerful geniuses and was making rapid progress. He would have an even stronger performance in the Genius Battle, since his progress would not stop in the future.

However, he doesn't plan to reveal too much of his strength now. It's not too late to show it during the Genius Battle. Although he can be considered a genius now, it's really nothing in the Genius Battle. After all, simply comprehending the laws is enough to ensure passing the first stage and successfully entering the top 1,000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. In the final battle, geniuses emerge one after another, almost all of them are geniuses who have comprehended the laws. He won't have much of an advantage then. Fortunately, there are still more than three years until the final battle. With three years and the upgrade rewards from the dungeon, he can still become stronger. So what he needs to do next is to work hard, work harder and harder, until he passes the Genius Battle.
