Devour: Emperor Yan

Swish!

As the scene before him shifted, and then returned to normal, Lin Kun was teleported back to a street on Black Dragon Mountain Island.

"it's over."

Lin Kun had just come to his senses.

Beep beep!

Instantly, a series of notification sounds rang out frantically.

"Master, you have a total of 1083 call requests, 1084... 1085..." The smart assistant, which had been absent for a month, came back online and reminded you.

"Block everything," Lin Kun ordered.

"Yes."

Lin Kun immediately felt a sense of peace and quiet.

"Master, there are still 1893 emails left, and the number is still increasing." The intelligent assistant's voice sounded again, faithfully performing its duties.

"Block it, block it all."

Lin Kun frowned. "Apart from a few acquaintances and Virtual Universe Company, refuse to accept all other call requests, including emails."

"Yes."

Now, it's finally completely peaceful.

"That's really crazy." Lin Kun shook his head.

It was expected.

With his achievement of first place in the 99th World Region, it's now impossible for him not to become famous; the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom probably knows him now.

I doubt there will be many more of these kinds of troubles in the future.

"Forget it, let's exit the virtual universe first and talk about it again after these two days have passed."

With a thought, Lin Kun immediately severed the connection to the virtual universe.

......

The preliminary rounds have ended.

Heilongshan Island remains in a state of excitement and celebration.

And this situation will continue for some time.

Because the arena battle will be held in a month.

The top 1001 players from each world zone advance through the preliminary rounds. There are 100 world zones in total, totaling 100,100 players.

The top player in each world region will directly qualify for the final tournament.

One hundred spots have been removed from this list.

Only the top 1000 from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom are qualified to participate in the All-Universe Human Genius Summit Finals.

These 1000 people will represent the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and compete against the many geniuses from the other 1007 Universe Kingdoms.

The top 1000 in the entire universe will be selected.

Of the 1000 spots available in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, 100 spots are now directly taken by the top player in each world region.

There are 900 spots remaining, which will be fiercely contested by the remaining 100,000 participants in the arena battles.

Meanwhile, Luo Feng, Nabini, Hong, and Lei Shen from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region will engage in subsequent arena battles, competing with 100,000 other participants for 900 spots.

It's almost one in a hundred.

The competition remains fierce.

The attrition rate remains very high.

Those who ultimately stand out and secure the final spot are all geniuses among geniuses.

The arena battles will begin in a month.

......

Purple Star.

In a manor one kilometer long and wide on the outskirts of Zihuan City.

A specially designed, secret room.

Call ~

Lin Kun opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and raised his hand to rub his temples.

I spent a whole month in the virtual universe, in the preliminaries environment, without sleep or rest.

At this moment, consciousness finally returns to reality, and it's inevitable to feel a bit mentally exhausted.

"Let's rest for a few days first."

Lin Kun stood up, opened the heavy metal door of the secret room, and walked out.

Upon entering the manor hall, I sat down on the large sofa, leaned back, and comfortably sank into it.

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

For Lin Kun, the biggest gain and surprise from this preliminary round was the personal growth he experienced.

......

A month later.

If calculated using Earth's Chinese time, this day is July 16, 2066.

It was the day before the arena battle began.

After a month of rest and complete relaxation, Lin Kun logged back into the virtual universe.

The Qianwu Continent is surrounded by thousands of islands belonging to medium-sized kingdoms in the universe, such as Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Its area is much larger than the thousands of islands surrounding it combined.

On one of the floating continents above the Qianwu Continent, there is a huge conference hall.

At this moment, 100,100 geniuses who had passed the preliminary rounds were gathered here, discussing the matter.

The four Lin brothers were also there, chatting idly in a corner.

Yes, Thor is there too.

He also passed the preliminary rounds, although he was at the very bottom of the standings.

Because he chose to keep a low profile and lie low in the early stages, Thor only began to exert his true power ten days later, so his trajectory changed and he did not encounter the wild man Rong Jun as unlucky as in the original story.

The ranking of the four brothers.

Lin Kun is ranked first in the 99 World Region.

Luo Feng is ranked 49th in the First World Zone.

Hong is number 906.

Thor has 974th place.

Both Hong and Thor barely made it through; the difference between them wasn't significant.

"Wow, there are so many people," Thor remarked, looking around.

"Yes, a total of 100,100 people." Hong also scanned the huge conference hall and looked around at the people.

Both of them felt the pressure of the ring battle that would begin tomorrow.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, appeared more calm and composed. After all, he had already crossed the threshold of the Origin Law of Metal, and his strength was undeniable. He would feel some pressure, but it wasn't too bad.

Lin Kun was the most relaxed, since he was just going through the motions today; the arena battle was irrelevant to him, and he would log off when the time was up.

"All four of us brothers passed the preliminary rounds, which is something to celebrate," Lin Kun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all laughed.

Yes, they both come from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, are brothers, and passed the preliminary rounds together.

This is very rare.

After all, only five people passed through the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, and the four brothers accounted for four of them.

This is, undeniably, a stunning achievement.

Hong and Lei Shen can now definitely be called star-level geniuses.

Therefore, over the past month, they have been courted by many forces and organizations.

The Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land, the Ice Sea Divine Kingdom, the Hundred Tiger Tower... the Black Cloud Society, and even other star regions, as well as the direct star regions of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, have all extended olive branches to the two of them.

However, they both politely declined.

"After participating in this peak genius battle, I finally realized how big the world is, and I also understood that my level might be considered good in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, but it is nothing in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom." Thor sighed, looking like he had seen a lot of the world.

"Yes, most of the 100,100 people here are stronger than the two of us." Hong nodded in agreement.

They all had a pretty good idea of ​​their current level; among these 100,100 people, they were in the bottom tier.

Neither of them felt discouraged; on the contrary, they were filled with fighting spirit.

It's something to be happy to know that there are so many people stronger than me even within the same level.

Pressure is motivation!

Sometimes, knowing the real differences isn't such a bad thing.

At least now we have the motivation and a goal to catch up.

What people fear most is sometimes the lack of goals and a clear understanding of their own situation.

......

"The third brother and I are destined to miss out on the top 1000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The arena battle will probably be the end for the two of us."

Hong looked at Lin Kun and Luo Feng, "Big Brother and Little Fourth, you two are different. You both have the opportunity to continue. I won't say anything about Big Brother, but Little Fourth, you have to work hard and live up to expectations, so you can participate in the All-Universe Finals with Big Brother."

"Yes, go for it, Xiao Si! If two of us four brothers can participate in the finals, and both of us are from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, that will definitely be a legendary story." Thor looked at Luo Feng with encouragement in his eyes.

"Yes, I will." Luo Feng nodded emphatically.

He then laughed and said, "Fortunately, I don't have to encounter my elder brother in the arena battle, otherwise, the pressure on me would be much greater."

"Haha..." Hong and Thor both laughed.

"Good luck, I'll be waiting for you in the finals." Lin Kun patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and smiled.

"Alright, I'll have a good look at your strength then, brother." Luo Feng's eyes were full of anticipation.
