The human is devouring, a new talent every month.

Chapter 30 I got up and killed them in one move!

A bunch of ignorant geniuses wanted to protest the unfairness, but the Virtual Universe Company had only one answer—

If you have any objections, you can leave directly!

Virtual Universe Company doesn't need any of them.

After this little incident, all the geniuses finally had a clearer understanding of their position in the core of the Virtual Universe Company.

The next morning.

The countdown to this year's "Universe Humanity - Pinnacle Genius" selection competition has officially begun.

This also marked the final climax.

In the central square, 1000 exceptional geniuses gathered.

"Venerable One!"

In the distance, 1008 immortal powerhouses respectfully bowed.

"Um."

The female Venerable of the Dream Wing Clan in the distance nodded slightly, then turned to look down at the 1000 young people and said, "Today is a good day. We will select the top 100, the top 10, the first place, and the second place from among you 1000 people within one day."

"Everyone ready? Let the final battle begin!"

The female Venerable of the Dream Wing Clan looked down at the crowd and then waved her hand. One hundred huge arenas appeared directly in the central square. Each arena was covered with strange black netting around its edges and above it. At the same time, 200 young men and women, including Lu Ming, were teleported directly into the arena.

There are two people in each arena.

Most of the powerful immortals and the geniuses who were not qualified to participate in the battle turned their attention to Lu Ming's arena.

……

A young man from the Yanpo Luo tribe with a dark red face and a tall dragon tail looked at Lu Ming in front of him and secretly cursed his bad luck.

He was confident that he was capable of competing for a spot in the top 100 and obtaining a place in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, but he never expected to face Lu Ming in the first round of the arena battle.

However, he didn't dare to question the distribution rules of the Virtual Universe Company, and in the end, he could only walk onto the stage with a frustrated look on his face.

"Flame Fist!"

Members of the Yanbolu tribe are all born warriors, and this young man is no exception. Moreover, his weapon is a niche type of gauntlet.

It must be said that this young man possesses considerable strength; his comprehension of the fundamental laws of fire is quite remarkable, and his fist techniques and movement skills are also not bad. After unleashing his attack, he transformed into a fiery meteor, bursting forth with blazing flames!

But facing his desperate punch, Lu Ming simply unleashed a punch from a distance, which directly killed him.

The battle is over.

……

Soon, the winners of the other 99 arenas were also born one after another.

However, only 20 of these 100 winners will be able to participate in the next battle.

Whether they were dissatisfied or thought that Virtual Universe Company was blind and had misjudged its opponent, no one dared to resist under Virtual Universe Company's somewhat domineering rules this time.

"Lu Ming!"

The female elder of the Dream Winged Clan began announcing a list of 20 people.

"Kunju!"

"Leah!"

"Tiffany!"

"Bailu!"

……

"Fick"

"Ert"

……

"These 20 people can rest and recover from the previous battle. The next battle will begin in a while. As for who your opponents are... you'll find out during the battle!"

The fact that the opponent is not publicly announced until the battle takes place is also a test of mental fortitude.

But for Lu Ming, this test was meaningless. Because no matter who the opponent was, the outcome would not change.

……

About half an hour later.

"Rumble..." The central square shook, and ten giant arenas gradually rose in the center of the square. The arenas were covered with a large number of black silk strips. At the same time, Lu Ming and the other twenty people who were resting were instantly teleported into these ten giant arenas.

Inside the arena.

"Depend on!"

"A terrible tragedy! That remnant dream 'Ert' actually ran into the demon god 'Lu Ming'?"

"Everyone was guessing who was so unlucky to run into Lu Ming, and it turns out it was this Ert, poor guy." The other 980 geniuses watching from a distance laughed, while Ert, the sickly young man who had always been confident and arrogant on the stage, was now staring intently at the black-haired youth in front of him with his blue eyes.

"Damn it, how could I have run into him!" In that trial space, his ranking wasn't high, only 153rd. But in the subsequent arena battles, he consistently won every single one with an absolutely domineering attitude!

This virtual universe company actually assigned him to Lu Ming as an opponent in this round. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to suppress him from entering the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm?

"Damn it, damn it!"

Upon discovering that Lu Ming's opponent in this round was "Ert", the other 18 people breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Facing Lu Ming, this freak, any one of them would be easy prey. But as long as they win this round, they can enter the top ten in the overall rankings and enter the Primordial Secret Realm, which is second only to the Primordial Secret Realm.

So as long as they don't run into Lu Ming, it's all the best luck.

……

Ten arenas, ten battles.

Apart from the arena where Lu Ming was, which had little suspense, the other matches were all fiercely contested.

Compared to the battles for the top 100, the current showdown is the true pinnacle of this year's Genius Battle!

……

On the arena.

The sickly young man shrouded in a black robe did not reveal his true face, only a pair of cold, blue eyes.

Opposite him, a young man with short black hair carried a long spear on his back, a hint of amusement on his face.

Before entering the trial space, this Ert had arrogantly mocked him and 'Tiffany'. Now, he'd been directly intercepted by himself in a crucial match.

The Virtual Universe Company's allocation system—isn't it done quite well?

"Lu Ming," the sickly young man said in a high-pitched voice, his tone sharp yet restrained, "your performance in the Trial Tower means nothing. You will never be able to escape the perfect illusion I've woven!"

It has to be said, Ert's declaration of war was quite imposing and domineering. However, Lu Ming really wanted to know if he believed what Ert said. Could it be that he was hypnotizing himself?

"I'm really looking forward to it." Lu Ming couldn't help but smile.

Soon, the battle commencement announcements rang out simultaneously from all ten arenas.

Almost simultaneously, battles erupted on ten arenas!

Ert, riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle, had incredibly cold eyes, and his blue pupils burst forth with dazzling light!

The deeper one's understanding of the fundamental laws, the more one's consciousness is influenced by the origin of the universe, and the more difficult it becomes to shake.

Given Lu Ming's level of understanding of the fundamental laws, even if he didn't possess a strong soul will, Ert had no confidence that he could defeat Lu Ming through soul attacks and illusions.

However, given his proud personality, it's impossible for him to simply admit defeat.

"A lingering dream, a phantom!"

Filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, Ert immediately activated the illusion and used almost all of his mental energy to launch a soul attack on Lu Ming.

Lu Ming wasn't exactly an expert in soul illusion techniques, mainly because he hadn't had the time and energy to study them before.

However, when it comes to resisting illusions, Lu Ming is an absolute expert. The soul transformation granted to him by the [Will of the Overlord] has already elevated his will to a level unimaginable to ordinary people. The mere Ert cannot affect him in the slightest.

"cut!"

Completely ignoring Erte's illusion, Lu Ming etherealized his mental power and then condensed it into a sharp knife, charging straight at his opponent!

As a martial artist, Lu Ming is not particularly skilled in soul attacks. He only knows some simple and brutal moves, such as the one he is using now—Soul Blade Slash!

The principle of "Soul Blade Slash" is very simple: condense your mental energy into a "blade" to directly attack the opponent's soul!

Compared to Ert's soul attack, Lu Ming's move was relatively crude, but his foundation in the fundamental laws was too high, and his consciousness and will completely overwhelmed his opponent.

Even a simple move like "using great strength to send bricks flying" is enough to achieve the effect of "overpowering all techniques with sheer force".

"Block it! Block it for me!" Erte was secretly pleased that Lu Ming would choose to use a soul attack against him, but he was horrified to find that the power of the opponent's "Soul Blade" was completely beyond his ability to resist!

"No!"

After a piercing wail, Ert, who appeared to be unharmed, collapsed straight onto the ring.

From the announcement of the start of the match to its end, the entire process probably took less than a second.

All the geniuses watching this match fell silent for a moment.

"Remnant Dream" Erte is the strongest illusionist in this year's Genius Battle and is considered a super genius capable of breaking into the top ten overall.

But against Lu Ming, it wouldn't last a second, especially with a soul attack method that martial artists aren't particularly skilled at.

In close combat, the difference between the two would likely be even greater.
