Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 102 is a complete mess! (Please subscribe)

100 arenas, two-on-two battles, it's incredibly brutal!

The winner advances!

The loser walks away!

There is absolutely no room for maneuver.

One after another, unparalleled geniuses fall, and no one is willing to stop there.

Everyone yearned for it, for they were only one step away from the higher core level. However, on the arena, there was only one destined winner!

I'm not as skilled as them!

Then they can only be eliminated in the end!

Aside from Luo Feng and Bo Lan, Luo Shen focused more of his attention on Rong Jun, Wu Ka, and a few others, including the so-called "Phantom Demon" Galesi.

Especially in Galesi.

This is the only illusionist in this year's Genius Battle who has the strength to be among the top ten.

Actually.

When Luo Shen looked over, all he saw was Galesi defeating his opponent.

As described in the materials, you don't even need to move; just a glance is enough for your opponent to fall to the ground and lose the ability to fight!

"He is indeed a formidable opponent."

Luo Shen thought to himself.

If it weren't for the fact that the soulless trial creatures like mechanical golems and metallic lifeforms in the Trial Tower are completely ineffective against illusions, Galasi's ranking might have risen by another hundred places.

Noticing Luo Shen's gaze, Galesi turned her cold gaze towards him.

They looked at each other.

Those strange eyes seemed to possess a natural attraction, drawing one's soul away from them, which was incredibly terrifying. However, Luo Shen's will had undergone two transformations and had been imbued with the laws of origin, making it extremely resilient!

He doesn't take these tricks seriously at all!

"snort!"

Galesi gave a low groan.

Seeing that his methods were ineffective, he stopped wasting his time and hid himself in the shadows beneath his black robe.

Illusionists belong to a mainstream branch of spiritualists, tending to destroy opponents at the soul level. They possess profound understanding of illusion and the soul.

This is why most illusion masters have some quirks or oddities.

soon.

All one hundred arena battles have concluded!

The Nine Swords Venerable, clad in a cyan battle robe, stood in the void, looking down at the 100 geniuses below, and chuckled, "First of all, congratulations to the little ones on the arena for making it into the top 100. You can now enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm of my Virtual Universe Company!"

The 100 geniuses below looked somewhat nervous, because the next step was to announce the list of 20 people to compete against.

"Luo Shen!"

"Berlan!"

The Nine Swords Venerable did not delay and announced the list directly.

"Galeci!"

"Rong Jun!"

"Guslo!"

One by one, names were called out from the mouth of the Nine Swords Venerable, and those whose names were not called could not hide their anxiety. Even though they were all victors, only 20 of them could participate in the next battle!

"Luo Feng!"

"Tao!"

As the last name was called, those whose names were read began to rest and recover from the exhaustion of the previous battle, while the faces of the remaining 80 geniuses immediately fell.

"These 20 individuals will now compete in the next round of the 20-to-10 elimination tournament!"

The Nine Swords Venerable laughed and said, "The next battle will begin in about half an hour. As for who your respective opponents are, you will find out during the battle!"

With the absence of Opatitra and the addition of Luo Shen, the roster remained virtually unchanged.

However, since the battle roster is entirely allocated by the virtual universe system, even with Luo Shen's advantage of knowing the plot, he cannot determine who his opponents are.

He glanced around.

Luo Feng, that silly boy, was still looking around, looking like he was about to unleash his inner power and full of fighting spirit. He seemed to be in good shape, but it was unclear whether he would run into Galesi again.

Rong Jun was resting with his eyes closed, the Earth-Splitting Blade he always held in his right hand gleaming with a cold light.

As for Bolan, this socially awkward young man kept his eyes fixed on Luo Shen, moving with Luo Shen's every move, as if all his attention was focused on him.

Obviously.

Because of his appearance, Berlan felt the crisis of his talent being crushed for the first time and was eager to get back at him.

After waiting for half an hour.

"Boom!" The central square shook, and ten giant arenas gradually appeared. Luo Shen and the others who were resting were instantly teleported into the arenas.

I took a quick look at the opponents I was fighting.

"Holy crap! Galesi!?"

Luo Shen couldn't help but swear. The guy in front of him, dressed in black robes, was clearly not a good person. Who else could it be but Galesi!

He turned his head and glanced at the arena next to him.

Chaos!

Everything's in complete chaos!

Luo Feng, who was supposed to be facing Galesi, is now facing Guslow, who is ranked fourth in the universe and is known as the "most perfect controller of this year's genius battle"!

Rong Jun, who was supposed to fight Gu Siluo, was instead facing the older of the twins, Jiang Mo!

As for Berlan.

His opponent was no longer the unruly, obese giant "Tao," but a martial artist named "Lancelot." Faced with Berlan's beast-like gaze, his handsome face turned pale.

Ten arenas for ten absolutely high-quality battles!

Every single one of these battles was a clash of titans. Compared to these ten battles, the previous hundred battles were like children playing house, completely incomparable!

Only a duel like this can be considered a peak showdown!

And in these ten arenas.

The most anticipated match is undoubtedly the battle between Luo Feng and Gu Silu for the title of "Strongest Controller"!

One ranked third, and the other ranked fourth.

Their strengths are incredibly close!

No one can predict which side will win, and that's precisely what makes it so interesting!

Besides.

The match between Luo Shen and Galesi also attracted a lot of attention.

After all, as the only super strong person to clear all seven trial towers, Luo Shen's strength is obvious to all. And the Illusion Demon Galesi is no less impressive. No matter which opponent he faced, he never had to lift a finger and defeated them simply by staring at them!

The battle between illusionists and martial artists is equally captivating!

"Come on, let's finish this quickly. After I've dealt with you, I still need to go watch Luo Feng and Gu Silu's fight!" Luo Shen rolled up his sleeves and looked at Galesi opposite him.

He did it on purpose.

After all, based on Galasey's performance in the original story, he has no chance of winning in his current state.

So he wanted to deliberately provoke Galesi.

An enraged illusionist might suddenly comprehend an even stronger illusion, causing him to feel even greater pressure, and perhaps even bringing him unexpected surprises.

Galesi's eyes peeked out from under his black robe, utterly cold.

He had never been looked down upon like this before!

"Knife Madman Luo Shen, I admit your strength is indeed very strong, but if you meet me, I will show you what true illusion is!" The voice of the Illusion Demon Galesi was hoarse, as if several knives were rubbing against his throat.

"I hope so!"

Luo Shen rubbed his nose, his eyes clear.

As he had predicted, Galesi was indeed angry, but how much of an effect he could have depended on the course of the battle.

Ten arenas, twenty geniuses.

Everyone was waiting for the announcement.

"The winners advance to the top ten! Don't be careless, kids, your opponents are all very strong." The Nine Swords Venerable's voice echoed from afar, reverberating in the ears of everyone on the arena, accompanied by the command: "The battle begins!"

For an instant.

Battles erupted almost simultaneously on all ten arenas!

The demon Galesi, riding a black halo, stared coldly at Luo Shen. His lips moved slightly, as if a demon was whispering. Instantly, an invisible wave of psychic energy arrived in front of Luo Shen and invaded his mind.

The speed of that telekinetic power was simply too fast.

No matter how fast Luo Shen's nerves reacted, he couldn't react in time and fell into the trap without realizing it.

However, Luo Shen's counterattack was swift.

Realizing that he had been invaded by the other party's telekinesis, he immediately unleashed his full force, instantly mobilizing his calm and unwavering will. His scattered consciousness coalesced into a rope, which he then clenched tightly!

"Open it!!"

Consciousness is the soldier, will is the general!

In an instant, Luo Shen's will erupted with the strongest roar, and under such a terrifying bombardment of will and consciousness, the seemingly real world around him instantly trembled and collapsed!
