Chapter 31 The Battle of Geniuses Comes to an End

Although he already knew that Lu Ming, who had cleared all seven trial towers, had definitely already widened the gap with other geniuses.

But it wasn't until the scene of the extremely famous illusionist genius "Remnant Dream" being instantly killed by Lu Ming was actually witnessed by everyone that the other geniuses truly felt more directly the overwhelming and despairing gap between themselves and that man.

As time went on, the winners of the ten matches emerged one after another.

After a short break, the second round of the ring battle to determine the top five began.

The final matchups are as follows:

Demon God "Lu Ming" versus Princess "Tiffany"

War Emperor "Kun Zhou" versus Wind King "Bai Liu"

Snow Fairy "Lia" versus Skyfire "Fek"

Sword Saint "Milo" versus Aurora "Neo"

The pharmacist "Lan Zhan" battles the demon general "Boros".

……

On the beautifully patterned arena, Lu Ming and the girl in the red dress faced each other from afar.

Tiffany was born into the royal family of the Peak Rock Universe Kingdom. She had seen countless geniuses since childhood, but she never took any of them seriously.

Even in this all-universe human peak genius battle, she believed she could get first place and become a member of the virtual universe company's original secret realm.

It wasn't until she witnessed Lu Ming's legendary feat of conquering all seven trial towers that Tiffany realized that although she was a genius, she was still far from being one.

"Lu Ming, let me personally experience... the difference in our current strength!" The girl in the red dress's eyes shone brightly, bursting with the most fervent fighting spirit!

At the very beginning of the match, Tiffany took to the sky aboard her fifth-tier flying telekinetic weapon, the 'Blazing Sun Wheel'. In front of her floated a series of blood-red metal triangular cones, each engraved with mysterious runes. These were none other than the 'Blood Edge Divine Weapon', one of the nine divine weapons controlled by her.

Facing Lu Ming, a formidable opponent, Tiffany had no intention of testing him and immediately unleashed her strongest move.

"Blood and fire are approaching, go!"

"Buzz~"

One after another, the blood-red triangular cones condensed into nine blood-red shuttles in the void. Then, these nine blood-red shuttles quickly overlapped and merged into one, with countless dense blood-red threads running through them... In just an instant, a real blood-red shuttle appeared in the void.

The blood-red shuttle was only a little over an inch long, its surface covered with mysterious patterns that exuded an aura of extreme killing intent.

Blood Edge Divine Weapon, Second Level – Bloodfire Descends!

"call out!"

The long shuttle, wreathed in crimson energy, resembled a comet, leaving a long, crimson afterimage as it pierced directly towards Lu Ming.

"It's the second level of the Blood Edge Divine Weapon!"

"Will this move hurt him?"

Below the arena, a group of geniuses watched intently.

"Controlling the nine divine weapons? The power is not bad." Lu Ming praised, then suddenly pulled his spear forward, accurately striking the seemingly imposing blood-red shuttle, and directly knocking it apart on the spot.

The girl in the red dress turned pale instantly, and even the flying telekinetic weapon she was standing on swayed.

"It's over." Lu Ming sighed inwardly, then suddenly unleashed his domain and extreme speed, and with a light tap of his spear, the red-dressed girl's body was instantly annihilated.

Being able to unleash the second form of the Blood Blade Divine Weapon at the Eternal Star level, this 'Tiffany' is undeniably outstanding.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Lu Ming.

……

"This little guy is quite chivalrous; he actually gave his opponent a chance to go all out."

"The gap in strength is too large, so it's only right to give the opponent some face."

The 1008 immortals chatted amongst themselves, most of them quite relaxed and at ease.

After Lu Ming won the first match, the other matches on the four other arenas also quickly came to a conclusion.

The final five were Lu Ming, Kun Zhou, Li Ya, Neo, and Boros.

Lu Ming, Kun Zhou, and Boros are all martial artists, while Liya and Neo are mentalists.

"The rules for the first five rounds of battles are... Each of the top five must fight one battle against the other four. The winners will receive one point, and the first and second place winners will be determined based on their points." The female Venerable of the Dream Wing Clan glanced at the last five remaining people and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Among this generation of geniuses, apart from Lu Ming, the other kids are all quite good as well.

"I dare not hope for the first one, but I must take the second one!" Wearing a dark blue battle suit, the Blue Nightmare Clan's Boros, with a mad look in his eyes, sized up his three competitors one by one.

Of these three, Neo was merely there to make up the numbers. As a fellow controller, his strength was nowhere near that of Tiffany and Bairu; he only made it into the top five by sheer luck and was nothing to be afraid of.

However, apart from this guy, both Kun Zhou and Liya are tough opponents!

"Haha, now the only ones who have a chance to compete for second place are that little girl from the Snow Elf Clan and Kun Zhou from the Xuanming Universe Kingdom. Who do you think will ultimately get the last spot as a member of the Primal Secret Realm?" Although 'Boros' believed he had the strength to compete for second place, in the eyes of the immortals, he was clearly ranked on the same level as 'Neo'.

The two "great enemies" that the immortal powerhouses truly valued were the ones he considered the most formidable.

"I think it should be Kun Zhou. If Lu Ming hadn't appeared, Kun Zhou would definitely deserve the title of 'Perfect Warrior' in this year's Genius Battle." The Battle Emperor 'Kun Zhou' was previously considered a strong contender for first place in this year's Genius Battle, and his reputation was even greater than that of Lu Ming and others.

However, Kun Zhou's strength is indeed formidable. As a martial artist, his close combat and movement techniques are near perfect, and his willpower is exceptionally strong and resilient.

Although he was only ranked seventh in the Trial Tower, that was because the martial artist lacked effective means to "fight against ten thousand men," which naturally put him at a disadvantage in the Trial Tower environment.

But arena battles are different.

First, arena battles are one-on-one; second, the arena area is limited, and there is even a rule that the arena area will shrink as the match progresses.

Under such favorable conditions, martial artists can sometimes gain a significant advantage.

"Haha, then I'll bet on that little snow fairy girl to win!" Another immortal powerhouse, wearing a black and gold cloak, laughed heartily.

As for Lu Ming? There's no doubt he'll take first place, so discussing his win or loss is pointless.

……

Half an hour later.

The final five rounds of battles have begun.

In the first match, Lu Ming faced off against Neo.

With what seemed like a simple shot, Lu Ming easily finished off his opponent.

The second battle...

In the third battle, he easily defeated Liya, a girl from the Snow Elf Clan.

Soon, it will be Lu Ming's last battle.

A burly, brown-haired man, over three meters tall and dressed in an earth-yellow battle suit, walked solemnly onto the arena. Looking at the calm-faced Lu Ming, he said, "I hope to die by your strongest move, so that I can truly understand my own weakness."

Yes, weak.

Kun Zhou, who had always been arrogant and considered himself perfect, felt his own 'weakness' for the first time. He was not perfect at all now.

He still needs to undergo a transformation to become more perfect.

Lu Ming smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Alright, I'll grant your wish!"

He doesn't need to go all out against Kun Zhou, or any of the top five.

However, although Kun Zhou was arrogant, he had a rather likable personality, so Lu Ming didn't mind granting him this small request.

"Airborne shock!"

Once the battle began, Kun Zhou instantly conjured up thirty-six illusory bodies, which charged toward Lu Ming from different directions.

"boom!"

With a force that seemed capable of shattering mountains and breaking seas, a heavy fist slammed straight towards Lu Ming.

"Starfall!"

Although it might seem like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, Lu Ming still kept his word and immediately entered the 'Destroyed True Body' form, his speed soaring. Then, he met Kun Zhou's fist head-on and unleashed an extremely domineering spear strike!

"Bang!" The gun fell, and Kun Zhou was instantly reduced to dust.

In this battle, Lu Ming won and became number one in the overall ranking of the universe.

After that, Kun Zhou and the Snow Elf girl Liya engaged in a fierce battle that could be described as a battle between dragons and tigers. At the critical moment, Liya suddenly burst out again, defeated her opponent, and won the second spot in the Primal Secret Realm.

With this, this year's Genius Battle has officially come to an end!
