Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 110 Shen Ping's Confidence

Most geniuses are very arrogant, and some are even aloof, rarely interacting with their peers. Only other geniuses can catch their eye, especially outstanding geniuses like Shen Ping, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun. Many people actually want to befriend them.

So when faced with an opportunity like this where it's easy to find topics to talk about, many geniuses, even the elites of the Qianwu royal family, would gather around and start chatting.

Some even revealed information about the "dual-wielding girl".

The granddaughter of the royal Yin Shenghou crossed the threshold of the Water Origin Law and was lucky enough to get a spot in the arena without going through the cycle of battles.

"How about it, Butcher? This Yin Shenghou's granddaughter looks similar to those on Earth. If you two could become a couple, it would be quite a story in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Many geniuses made fun of it.

This infuriated the girl wielding two knives, who gritted her teeth and wished she could rush up and stab these despicable guys a few times.

A short while later.

boom!

An aura of enlightenment enveloped the entire square.

The faces of the thousand geniuses, including Shen Ping and Luo Feng, turned pale instantly, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. Soon, the giant wearing a scale armor battle robe walked over. The aura he naturally exuded was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper, and the pervasive bloody smell was even more terrifying as he got closer.

Everyone stared at the eight-meter-tall giant.

Members of the Qianwu royal family with status all know that this giant is a general under the Qianwu king, and is extremely powerful.

"As ordered by the King, I will lead the team of one thousand geniuses from the Qianwu Kingdom this time."

"You can call me Lord Thirteen."

"Did you understand?"

"clear!"

The giant in the scale armor looked at Shen Ping and Rong Jun and said slowly, "Shen Ping, Rong Jun, you two are geniuses in our Qianwu Universe Kingdom who are confident that you will not be eliminated. The King has high hopes for you, especially Shen Ping. If you can achieve good results in this final ranking, the King will reward you. I hope you will not disappoint the King."

"Yes, Thirteenth Master!"

Done.

The man in the scale armor robe glanced at the others and said, "As for you, humph, you have no hope at all. Don't be unconvinced. The strongest among you is only at Luo Feng's level. In previous years, Luo Feng might have been able to get a spot in the top 1,000 overall. But this time, as far as I know, there are quite a few geniuses emerging from other universe countries. Luo Feng can at most reach between 3,000 and 5,000."

Upon hearing this...

Many geniuses frowned secretly. They did not doubt the Thirteenth Master's words, but as geniuses who had not been defeated, they were naturally unconvinced.

soon.

The giant in the scale armor led a thousand geniuses from the Qianwu Kingdom to a specially opened space plane in the virtual universe. There were 1008 buildings here, each representing a team from a different universe.

These buildings form a huge ring structure with a large plaza in the center, where geniuses from other cosmic nations are already chatting amongst themselves.

Shen Ping and his group arrived in front of Building 0825.

The giant in the scale armor then distributed room numbers to them: Shen Ping was number 1, Rong Jun was number 2, and Luo Feng was number 3.

"You can rest in your rooms or go to the plaza. When it gets dark, members of the Virtual Universe Company will notify you to assemble. You will be able to hear them no matter where you are."

"Alright, you're free to disband!"

Done.

The giant in the scaled armor walked towards Restaurant No. 1 in the square, where hundreds of immortals from various cosmic nations had gathered.

Their auras were either icy, like a volcanic eruption, or calm and composed... Those who could lead the teams were basically powerful figures under the command of the rulers of various universes.

"Thirteen is here."

"Thirteen, I heard that a terrifying genius has appeared in your universe country this time, is that true?"

"There's a guy named Shen Ping and another named Rong Jun. Both of them are very strong."

"The Qianwu Universe Kingdom is quite lucky this time; they've secured two spots!"

"you do not say!"

Every battle of unparalleled geniuses and the battle of the strong among the human race is a talent selection for their respective universe kingdoms. If a universe kingdom has a large number of geniuses, then the ruler of the universe kingdom will receive race contribution points, which are very valuable.

Therefore.

The heavily indebted ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom would take this battle of geniuses seriously, especially Shen Ping, who has the potential to break into the top twenty in the universe.

Otherwise, how could the supreme ruler of the universe possibly pay attention to a group of tiny beings at the celestial level?

A smile appeared on the indifferent face of the giant in the scale armor. "Our Qianwu Kingdom has been lucky this time."

"Tsk tsk, you can laugh now!"

"He's proud of himself, of course he'll laugh. There are two spots, and the other one is supposedly Shen Ping, who is said to be able to get close to the top. He's only at the Hengxing level, yet he's already comprehended the fundamental laws of space to such an extent."

Listening to the immortal discussions around me.

Thirteen laughed, "Let's not talk about my Qianwu Kingdom anymore, Sefra. Everyone's saying that your Noah Universe Kingdom's genius can get first place!"

Sefra shook his head. "Naberan's spatial origin law is indeed very strong. He unleashed hundreds of illusions in the arena. Although he is stronger than Shen Ping from your universe country, the difference between them is not too great when their spatial origin laws have reached this level. It will depend on their respective application and performance."

The other immortals all nodded in agreement.

A deep understanding of the fundamental laws can indeed lead to a powerful burst of power, but even among geniuses of the fundamental laws, the difference in their understanding of the laws won't be too outrageous, unless their comprehension of the laws differs significantly.

While the difference between Shen Ping's forty-odd illusory bodies in the arena battle and Bo Lan's hundreds of illusory bodies was significant, it wasn't as drastic as the difference between two illusory bodies and hundreds.

While the immortals are talking about it.

Shen Ping, Luo Feng, Rong Jun and the others also arrived at the square.

"It's the butcher!"

"The butcher of the Dry Witch Kingdom!"

"And then there's Rong Jun. Those two are the strongest geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom this time. Many powerful figures say that this Butcher will definitely be able to get a spot in the top twenty of the overall universe rankings!"

"That guy next to them, isn't that the madman Luo Feng? His progress is astonishing. He's improved so dramatically in just three or four years. My teacher said that if he were given enough time, he would definitely surpass most of us!"

After the Cycle War ended, all the major cosmic nations had reviewed the information of some outstanding geniuses from other cosmic nations. In the Qianwu cosmic nation, these were naturally Shen Ping, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun.

As they sized up Shen Ping.

Shen Ping, Luo Feng, and the others were also observing the other geniuses, such as the stunningly beautiful Dream Snail Wing Clan girl with two wings on her back and wearing a white feathered robe, Light Sword Ai Chen; the Illusion Demon Galesi, who was over two meters tall and shrouded in a black robe; the Manka Star Prince, who wore silver robes and whose eyes burned with fighting spirit; and the brother and sister with secret patterns on their faces, Qian Shui and Jiang Mo, etc.

Among these emerging geniuses, the most famous ones all come from the mysterious planets of the human race, such as Augustus, Manka, and Mother Ancestor.

Wow.

Suddenly, a young man in white robes carrying a blood-red longsword appeared in the square.

The entire square fell silent instantly.

Berlan the Grim Reaper.

Undisputed number one.

Even the most obscure geniuses would know of this formidable talent's reputation.

Shen Ping and Luo Feng, of course, knew this as well.

Feng Lun couldn't help but whisper, "Butcher, if you were to fight this Grim Reaper, Berlan, are you confident you could defeat him?"

Rong Jun also looked over.

They had all seen the video of Shen Ping in the arena battles. Rong Jun had even fought Shen Ping in person in the 88th World Zone. However, three or four years had passed since the arena battles, and all the other geniuses had made progress. It was impossible for this number one in the Qianwu Kingdom, known as the Butcher, not to have made any progress at all. Even if there were rumors that he was rather frivolous and lazy, he would not slack off too much in his cultivation.

Luo Feng also looked at Shen Ping.

"It's hard to say."

"His understanding of the fundamental laws of space is stronger than mine, but he is somewhat weaker in other aspects."

Shen Ping grinned and said, "We'll only know the specifics after we've fought them."

He was still looking forward to fighting Bolan. Based on the rewards and insights he had gained over the years, the number of his spatial origin laws had exceeded two hundred, approaching three hundred. According to the "Ten Thousand Flows" level, he belonged to the third level of the Hundred Flows and was close to the fourth level.

However, he knew that the illusory form of the God of Death, Berlan, could unleash thousands of attacks, surpassing most realm lords.

However, this excludes the two laws of fire and space.

He also comprehended the Fire-Void Beast God Fusion Law, which is his biggest trump card. If he were to unleash it fully, Bolan would be no match for him.

In the world zone.

Rong Jun was instantly defeated even by Rong Jun's most ordinary Beast God Intent Sword Technique.

In the original story, Luo Feng shocked many immortals by constantly imitating the artistic conception of the Beast God statue, and the Beast God artistic conception he received was not just a trace.

So, while we may have expectations, we should also keep them.

Shen Ping didn't actually consider Bo Lan a rival. After all, as a cheater with continuous family rewards, his goal was the strongest human geniuses from previous years.

"You sound really confident!"

Rong Jun's eyes brightened slightly.

Feng Lun couldn't help but say, "Tsk tsk, Butcher, Death God Berlan is undoubtedly number one. If you were to defeat him... I can't even imagine what would happen."

Shen Ping smiled and said, "You'll find out when the time comes."

"Come on, let's go sit in the restaurant too."

There are many restaurants in the square.

Restaurant No. 1 is where those immortals reside; these geniuses have come to other restaurants.

After sitting down.

Feng Lun sighed, "I was full of confidence before I came, but now that I've seen the geniuses from other universe countries, I feel that there is a high possibility of being eliminated. As that Thirteenth Master said, in our universe country, only Shen Ping and Rong Jun are the two of you who are confident."

"Even Luo Feng's chances are slim."

Paltrow nodded and said, "Yes, but no matter what, we have to give it our all. If all else fails, we can just treat this as a vacation."

Shen Ping praised, "You have a good attitude. Coming here for tourism is definitely worthwhile."

The final of the Genius Battle held by the Virtual Universe Company is extremely brutal. First, you get points and rankings from the Trial Tower. All geniuses ranked below 7200 are eliminated. You should know that even the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has hundreds of geniuses who have entered the Origin Law. The 1008 Universe Kingdoms have more than 100,000 Origin Law geniuses, but it is destined that the vast majority of them are just tourists.
