Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses.

Chapter 52 The Name of Death

"Lord Enma!"

The golden-armored man, whose head was being stomped on by Hunzhen, let out a loud voice.

"Stop making noise."

"Yes, sir!"

At Hunzhen's command, the man quickly quieted down, bowing his face to the ground with a devout expression, looking as if he were proud of it.

As for the other three, they stood aside, their bodies trembling slightly, looking at Hunzhen who sat calmly in the armchair with a serene expression, and felt a pang of sympathy.

It was obvious that this was the state of the four people who had come after hearing the name of the Flame Demon, only to be soundly beaten by Hunzhen.

Because Hunzhen was in a bad mood, he naturally couldn't easily send away this punching bag that had been delivered to his door. Instead, he vented his anger by thoroughly torturing it. With the other party begging for mercy, it gradually turned into what it is now.

As for that guy who was so arrogant and boastful at the beginning, he even used his telekinetic powers to employ some illusionist tricks.

More than three years and thousands of simulated combat experiences have enriched the experience of martial artists and controllers who specialize in Hunzhen.

In order to better deal with different types of enemies, the Sims naturally have a rich understanding of the combat methods of other professions and possess a wealth of knowledge.

With Hunzhen's current control over mental power, even without having specifically practiced the corresponding secret techniques, he could easily unleash a few of them without any bottlenecks.

"Tell me why you're here."

Hunzhen raised his chin and said, "They can't possibly be here to give me points, can they?"

All three of them shuddered, as if recalling some beautiful scene.

Finally, one of them mustered the courage to step forward and asked, "Flame Demon, have you ever heard of the name 'Grim Reaper'?"

"grim Reaper?"

Hunzhen raised an eyebrow.

How could I not have heard of it? I've been thinking about it constantly these past few days, and I haven't stopped missing it even in my dreams!

Thinking this to himself, he naturally wouldn't say it aloud. Hunzhen turned his head away, adopting a cold expression, and said, "Never heard of it."

Seeing Hun Zhen's nonchalant attitude, one of the men suddenly mustered his courage: "Flame Demon! Don't think you're so powerful. If you really run into that guy, Death, you might not even have time to cry!"

"Oh?"

Hunzhen's lips curled into a gentle smile, which sent chills down the man's spine. Even knowing it was a virtual universe, the man felt a shiver run down his spine before finally asking, "So, tell me about him?"

The first person to speak swallowed hard and said, "The Grim Reaper, his exact name is still unknown. But anyone who enters a radius of 100 kilometers around his territory will be mercilessly annihilated, turning that place into a no-man's land, hence the name 'Grim Reaper'! Facing the Grim Reaper, even hundreds of skilled fighters attacking simultaneously couldn't put up a fight. His power is on a completely different level from ours!"

He took a deep breath and stared intently at Hunzhen: "Flame Demon, even you are no match for him!"

Hunzhen nodded: "You're right. I'm not some brainless arrogance; with this kind of strength, I really can't be a match for the Grim Reaper."

He waved his hand and said, "I'm weak, I'm really weak. Okay, alright? I've admitted I'm weak, you can all die now."

"Flame Demon, don't you want to test the power of the Grim Reaper?"

The first person abruptly interrupted, saying, "There are only a few days left in the preliminaries. With your strength, even if you fail, you certainly won't fall out of the top 1000, right? Don't you even have the idea of ​​challenging Death now? Don't you... want to defeat Death?"

Slain on horseback?

Upon hearing this, Hunzhen's lips curled up, and he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Based on Bolan's performance in the Trial Space three or four years later in the original story, let alone thousands of his own versions, killing tens of thousands of his own versions would be a piece of cake.

I have no idea how much progress Berlan has made during this time, but when dealing with a rabble that he can't even reach, it's an absolute one-sided crushing victory.

They really dare to say that!

He said, "I admit, your utterly unskilled provocation did work. I must say, I've become interested in this so-called Grim Reaper."

The man immediately smiled and extended his hand: "Then from now on, we're all comrades."

Hunzhen has already determined that these people are probably the ones who were lying in wait with the simulated humans in the simulation records, and who launched the final surprise attack on Bolan.

Most of them were ranked around 200 or 300. With the end of the preliminary rounds approaching, the young geniuses naturally wanted to challenge Bolan, who had always dominated the top spot and inspired awe in others.

Although Hunzhen knew he couldn't reach the level he initially expected when Bolan launched the "purge," he couldn't improve his spatial perception in a short time.

But he has no intention of giving up on his initial goal of the qualifiers.

These past few days, searching for other opportunities in the simulation hasn't gone smoothly. Trying to complete this initial goal is a perfect way for Hunzhen, who is currently feeling a bit down, to change his mood.

Most importantly, previous meditations had too many pre-set conditions, and their performance in the actual situation was probably vastly different.

The latest novel is first published here!

Being able to know information about these "companions" in advance allows for more precise and detailed mental simulations.

"Let me make good use of your strength and pave the way for my 'chance of victory'!"

"It'll only take three days or so. Let me struggle a little longer."

Hunzhen's eyes flashed with sharpness: "Bolan, I really don't believe it! I really can't even scratch your skin?!"

Once the matter was settled, Hunzhen immediately lifted the restrictions on the golden-armored man.

Then, led by the golden-armored man who trembled like a newborn deer, Hunzhen was led to an open-air square where a large group of people had gathered.

At first glance, the number of people was much larger than Hunzhen had expected.

He originally thought there would be about a hundred guys with that youthful spirit, but he didn't expect there to be at least two or three hundred people gathered in this square.

Moreover, there's no doubt that these guys are among the strongest in the Second World District; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to launch a campaign to besiege Berlan.

"So you're the Flame Demon? I've heard so much about you! I'm Luo Yang, these guys call me 'Golden Sword'."

A blond man, dressed in light leather armor and resembling a lion, stepped forward, laughing heartily and extending his hand: "I am one of the initiators of this plan. Since I am ranked the highest among everyone and currently ranked second overall, I have presumptuously assumed the role of temporary leader."

Hunzhen looked Luo Yang up and down, nodded, and shook his hand: "Hunzhen, it's a pleasure to meet you, Luo Yang."

Unlike the previous simulations, Hunzhen spent most of the time in meditation and did not go out hunting. He ranked within the top 1,000 simply by sitting and counterattacking, but his actual ranking is not high now.

"So you're the Balrog? I heard my brother kindly invited you, but you gave him a real hard time?"

A man in golden armor stepped forward.

The surrounding crowd immediately looked on with expressions of anticipation, as if watching a good show.

Hun Zhen chuckled inwardly: "Just when I was feeling this ranking wasn't very secure, points came knocking on my door."
