The human is devouring, a new talent every month.

Chapter 20 I, Lu Ming, have no need to explain my actions to others!

"Look, people from Building 0513 have arrived. It seems to be a team of geniuses from the Golden Lan Universe Kingdom."

"Jinlan Universe Country? It seems they've produced a very talented genius this year, named Lu Ming."

Who is Lu Ming?

"The young martial artist with black hair and black eyes in the very front row is Lu Ming."

In the square, many geniuses from other universe countries watched the Jinlan universe country team from afar and began to discuss among themselves.

There are millions of geniuses in the various universe nations, so it's impossible to know them all. However, through intelligence gathering, the reputations of the top geniuses have already spread far and wide.

In the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom, only Lu Ming undoubtedly enjoys such treatment. In everyone's impression, he is a martial arts genius with a high level of understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning and time, and whose combat techniques are quite unique.

……

The Jinlan Universe Kingdom's genius team, listening to the discussions of other universe kingdom geniuses in the distance, felt a deep resentment in most of their hearts.

Which of them wasn't a chosen one of heaven? Which of them wasn't a peerless genius?

They were once the center of attention, the envy of all, but here, they weren't even worthy of being glanced at.

Whether it was the Nine Mountains Divine General leading the team or the geniuses from the other universe kingdoms, they only saw Lu Ming and didn't take them seriously at all.

However unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do at the moment.

Under the watchful eyes of geniuses from other cosmic nations, General Jiuyue quickly led his team into Building 0513. "Take your number tags and go to your respective rooms. Whether you want to rest or chat, it's up to you."

"By the way, the restaurant downstairs in your building offers free food and drinks with just a number. Many of the dishes and drinks are extremely expensive. If you miss this opportunity, you might not be able to enjoy them again."

After saying that, the Nine Mountains Divine General strode out of the building.

The 1000 geniuses of the Golden Lan Universe Kingdom finally breathed a sigh of relief, and went in small groups, each holding their number plates, either chatting or going to find their own rooms.

The central plaza, surrounded by 1008 skyscrapers, is so large that even a million people wouldn't feel crowded. Moreover, flowers, plants, and small animals can be seen everywhere around the plaza.

Large restaurants are also scattered randomly in the square.

There are a total of 99 restaurants, but geniuses from all over the universe can enter any of the other restaurants except for Restaurant No. 1.

"boom!"

The golden-armored deity streaked across the sky and landed in front of Restaurant No. 1 in the square.

"grown ups!"

The waiters at the restaurant entrance bowed respectfully.

The golden-armored deity stepped directly inside. There were thousands of seats on the first floor of the restaurant, and there were already hundreds of eternal beings here.

"Nine Peaks!"

"Jiuyue has arrived."

Each of these beings exuded an aura that was either filled with murderous intent, more violent than the stars, or so cold that it could freeze one's soul. Various chilling auras emanated from them... These great beings, sitting casually, seemed to be worlds unto themselves, as if they controlled the surrounding space.

These beings were all sent by the rulers of their respective cosmic kingdoms!

Such a grand gathering of the major cosmic nations sends forth immortal beings who are all extremely powerful even among immortals.

For example, "Jiuyue" is one of the powerful generals under the King of Jinlan Kingdom. He is renowned and has been famous for hundreds of millions of years.

"I didn't expect that the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom would send you this time. The last time you led a team was a thousand epochs ago, wasn't it?"

"Jiuyue, I heard that your Jinlan Universe Kingdom has produced a super genius named Lu Ming this time. Why don't you tell us what his strength is?" A beautiful woman with a good figure but eight arms and long hair was flirting with Jiuyue.

"You'll find out when the time comes." Jiu Yue ignored the other party's little tricks and calmly picked up a cup of blue wine.

"Oh, so you're deliberately hiding this. It seems you have a lot of confidence in this Lu Ming?" Another three-eyed youth in black armor joined in, trying to get information out of him.

"Given this guy's temperament, he wouldn't be willing to lead the team unless he had a strong sense of security!" Another bear-man immortal, who thought he knew the other party well, chimed in.

At some point, Lu Ming became one of the central figures in the discussions among these immortal powerhouses.

……

The restaurant in the central square.

There are many geniuses here enjoying free food and drinks.

As soon as Lu Ming entered the restaurant, he noticed many probing gazes sweeping over him.

"It's Lu Ming from the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom..."

"Is he the guy who single-handedly took on the entire world region in the qualifiers?"

"I've seen his fight videos, and he's definitely terrifying. The title 'Demon God' is well-deserved!"

Lu Ming had gradually gotten used to the attention other geniuses paid to him. He sat down at a table by the window, completely unconcerned, wanting to see what the most expensive food and drinks the restaurant could offer were.

"You can order Meteor Flame Wine. It's the best and most precious wine in this restaurant, produced in the Meteor Flame Secret Realm of the Nine Flame Universe Kingdom. One liter costs over a thousand Chaos Units. Even in the virtual universe, it normally sells for no less than one Chaos Unit."

As Lu Ming looked down at the menu to see which wines or drinks were the most expensive, a very clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Who are you?" Lu Ming looked up.

This is a pretty young girl wearing a long red dress. She has an extremely delicate face and mysterious long purple hair. The only thing missing is her eyes, which are an extremely eerie blood red.

"My name is Tiffany, and I come from the Peak Rock Universe Country," the pretty young girl introduced herself.

"I know you. I've seen your combat videos. You're really good," Lu Ming replied casually.

The information on super strong individuals given to him by Jinlan Dojo included this pretty young girl. She was a skilled user of the "Blood Edge Divine Weapon" and qualified to compete for a place in the top ten of this year's Genius Battle.

"You're really good too, and what you did in the qualifiers was a really good idea, it's a pity I didn't think of it at the time." The pretty purple-haired girl sat down opposite Lu Ming as if they were old friends, and the two started chatting.

"You actually admire this kind of attention-seeking behavior, Tiffany, by crushing the weak to boost your own fame. Sure enough, you and he are birds of a feather!" Just as the two were getting along well, a sickly young man, completely wrapped in a black robe with only his blue eyes showing, suddenly walked up from downstairs.

"Ert, has anyone ever told you that your mouth stinks!" The pretty purple-haired girl frowned quickly, and at the same time, she looked at the sickly young man with the same disgust she would give a cockroach.

The fact that this sickly young man dared to openly mock the two of them meant that he was no ordinary person; he was none other than the renowned illusionist, Canmeng, from this year's Genius Battle.

"Trying to attract attention?" Lu Ming glanced at Ert indifferently, not taking the other party seriously at all.

Why should Lu Ming need to explain his actions to others?

"Ert, be careful. I can sense that this is an extremely dangerous guy. And you're already being targeted by him!" The voice that came out was full of amusement. This time, the person who came was a burly, brown-haired man who was over three meters tall.

"Kun Zhou, you actually said this guy is dangerous? Are you afraid of him?" The sickly young man 'Ert' casually replied.

"I sensed an extraordinary and unique aura emanating from him. My intuition tells me that he is indeed a formidable opponent. But if I were to face him, I would definitely be the victor!" The burly man seemed to take Lu Ming very seriously, but at the same time, he was even more confident in himself.

"This guy..." Lu Ming glanced at the "Kun Zhou" slightly, noticing that the man's senses were indeed very sharp.

The so-called special spirit should refer to the "will of a hegemon" contained within him.

Even though Lu Ming didn't actively reveal this characteristic, Kun Zhou could vaguely sense it through his intuition, which meant he was indeed quite something.
