#148 - The curtain opens!
Fighting arena number 00001.
After encouraging everyone, Thirteen, in his scaled armor, announced the start time of the genius battle's peak showdown. "The peak showdown of geniuses across the entire human universe will truly begin in a year and a half. This year and a half is your opportunity to improve yourselves!"
Everyone dispersed, and in the following year and a half, each genius would seize the time and cultivate even more diligently.
Whether it was Rong Jun or Luo Feng, or those geniuses overshadowed by them, such as the geniuses nurtured by the Ganwu Imperial Clan, all were desperately striving.
Luo Feng and Rong Jun had a surprisingly unified goal: to first defeat each other, and then set Yang Wu as their target to surpass.
Hong and Lei Shen were also working silently, striving for the future of Earth's humans and to avoid falling too far behind; they were desperately catching up.
Even those geniuses from the lower-ranked universe countries wanted to break into the top ranks of the entire universe to witness a wider world, while Yang Wu logged out of the virtual universe, returning home to await the next simulation and reorganization.
Among all the geniuses, he was the one with the least pressure.
In the vast and boundless primal universe, the human race, as one of the six pinnacle races, naturally occupies a very large territory.
The 1008 universe countries of humanity each have different territorial ranges, and the time spent on internal selections for the genius battle also varies.
Currently, many universe countries have completed their internal selections, but there are still quite a few that are ongoing.
At the same time, the peerless geniuses ranked first or second in their respective universe countries, those with a bit of ability, are all collecting information on threatening opponents from other universe countries.
Barbaric Universe Country.
This is another human universe country extremely far from Ganwu Universe Country, an even more ancient universe country than Ganwu Universe Country.
Its overall strength ranks among the top five in the entire human territory of 1008 universe countries.
In this universe country, there exist two very terrifying human races: the Manka people and the Wildgod race.
The two strongest human bloodlines—
Domain Lord-level bloodlines!
Even without cultivation, the Manka people and the Wildgod race can easily become powerful Domain Lords upon adulthood.
Manka Star.
In an oval-shaped castle, the guards at the entrance are all Universe-level warriors.
"This Yang Wu? He's actually this strong?"
A teenager hurriedly logged out of the virtual universe, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This teenager had black hair, wore silver armor, and possessed the traditional handsomeness of the Manka people.
Just now, in the slaughter space, when facing Yang Wu's ultimate move, he was instantly killed on the spot. "Your Highness, besides Yang Wu, there are two other equally troublesome geniuses in Ganwu Universe Country's internal selection this time."
"Rong Jun, Luo Feng!"
"These two had a battle record three years ago, and their strengths were comparable."
The sector lord on the side quickly introduced. Although their Highness was talented enough, according to the collected data,
at least three people from Ganwu Universe Country have the potential to enter the top 10.
Don't know what dogshit luck they had!
Peerless geniuses, who are rare in each session, actually appeared three at the same time this session.
Three months passed in a flash.
June 2069, the simulation was reorganized.
This time, the simulation successfully grasped another basic mystery, the 13th basic mystery of the essence of space law.
In addition, with the accumulation from the previous two simulations, the body's power exertion naturally increased to 40 times.
October 2069, with less than a year left until the peak genius决战 of the 1008 universe countries,
Luo Feng's second body, the Mosha Clan body, which had been gestating for more than three years, was finally successfully gestated, and the speed of improvement in his movement technique rapidly increased.
His research on space laws also urgently launched an accelerated mode. June 2070, another new simulation,
without any surprises, successfully grasped another basic mystery, the 14th basic mystery.
Time passed quickly.
Soon came September 2070. For many Chinese teenagers, this was an unusual day, and for the 1000 geniuses waiting at home, it was also the same, because the day when the peak showdown, gathering millions of geniuses from 1008 universe countries in the entire human race, began, was in this month.
Chinese calendar, September 6, 2070.
Virtual universe, a floating island above Ganwu Continent.
On a plaza surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants, the 1000 top geniuses of the entire Ganwu Universe Country had gathered,
including Yang Wu, who were all chatting with each other at this time.
Among the 1000 geniuses, at least one-third of them had appearances that were relatively close to Earthlings. Earthling appearances are also considered mainstream in the universe. "Boom!"
Suddenly, an invisible pressure instantly covered the entire plaza, and nearly a thousand peerless geniuses turned pale, their bodies involuntarily trembling slightly.
Yang Wu didn't feel much better. Luo Feng next to him was trembling slightly like himself, and Lei Shen frowned, seemingly enduring it forcefully.
Among the entire audience, perhaps only Hong appeared relatively calm, but after seeing everyone's performance, he immediately pretended to tremble as well.
Yang Wu almost couldn't hold back. Brother Hong, you're really good at acting!
Then, with the sound of footsteps, a giant wearing scaled armor and a helmet walked over, his naturally diffused aura was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper.
The aura filled with heavy bloodlust caused people to fear involuntarily.
"The 1000 geniuses of Ganwu Universe Country will be led by me according to the country lord's command."
The giant's voice boomed, and the pair of eyes under the helmet gave people endless pressure: "You can call me 'Lord Thirteen', understand?"
"Understood!"
Yang Wu and the other 1000 peerless geniuses involuntarily responded in unison.
"Yang Wu, Rong Jun, Luo Feng!"
The scaled armor giant casually called out, focusing his gaze on Yang Wu, Rong Jun, and Luo Feng.
"Lord Thirteen."
The three of Yang Wu bowed slightly.
"The three of you are the most promising in this session of our Ganwu Universe Country."
The scaled armor giant said, "The country lord has high expectations for you. Don't let the country lord down, understand?"
"Yes."
The three responded respectfully.
The scaled armor giant nodded slightly, then swept his gaze over everyone, and said coldly: "As for the others, there's not much hope!"
The scaled armor giant's tone was indifferent, mercilessly suppressing them. If they had a spirit of not admitting defeat, maybe a miracle would really happen.
"Alright, follow me!"
This group of peerless geniuses from various star regions of Ganwu Universe Country could only endure the "not much hope" spoken by this immortal being.
Then, under the leadership of that scaled armor giant, the thousand geniuses teleported at the same time, arriving in a brand new plane opened up by the virtual universe.
