Rong Jun's Blade

"Countdown to the end of the preliminary selection: 60...59...58..." A majestic and deep voice echoed in the minds of all survivors in 100 World Zone.

"Damn it, I'm 1002! I was so close! I have to fight! Kill!"

"It's too late!"

"Brother, as long as you let me kill, transfer half of your points to me, and I will reward you handsomely when I get out."

"Get lost, get lost! I don't believe you for a second. You're always thinking about getting something for nothing. Come on, let me kill you, and I'll thank you later."

"Go to hell."

In the final countdown, chaos reigned in all World Zone.

Under the blood moon.

Tianwu Peak.

"6...5...4...3...2...1! Teleport."

His Golden Armor was bathed in a soft glow. Lin Yan waited silently. The countdown ended, and then... the bright moon that illuminated the sky split open from the middle.

All survivors in the 100 World Zone vanished instantly, and then each of the virtual worlds collapsed and disappeared, turning everything into nothingness.

Meanwhile, the final rankings for each World Zone were released to the public.

Preliminaries are over!

All candidates have been chosen!

Luo Feng was teleported from the First World Zone to the skies above Black Dragon Mountain Island.

"Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!"...

A series of notification sounds.

"Luo Feng, there have been 374 call requests. Oh, now it's 401, and it's still rising." Babata's familiar voice rang out.

"Haha, Babata, it's been so long since I heard your voice, it feels so strange." Luo Feng ignored the call requests.

In the World Zone, all virtual assistants are prohibited; this is a rule set by the Virtual Universe System.

Babata praised, "Luo Feng, you did a great job this time. You made it into the 19th place in the First World Zone. That's impressive."

"How are Lin Yan, Hong, and Thunder God doing?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

"Hong is ranked 814th and Thunder God is ranked 367th, both of them successfully passed the preliminaries," Babata replied. "Actually, it wouldn't be difficult for Hong to break into the top 100 with his strength. He must have been hiding his strength during the preliminaries."

Luo Feng nodded. Hong was introverted and disliked showing off, so it wasn't surprising that he would hide his strength. After all, apart from the first place, there were no special privileges for other rankings in the Preliminary Elimination Tournament.

But why were only Hong and Thunder God mentioned?

He asked in confusion, "Where's Lin Yan? Why didn't you mention him?"

Babata looked at him like he was an idiot, bouncing twice on his shoulder. "Luo Feng, are you stupid? Do you even need to ask about this kind of thing?"

"Lin Yan is undoubtedly number one in the 88th World Zone!"

Luo Feng also realized that he had indeed asked a pointless question. In fact, with his current strength, he could compete for the number one spot in the First World Zone, but firstly, he found it too troublesome to do so, and secondly, he was quite interested in the arena competition.

Being able to compete against the top geniuses of the other Ganwu Universe Country will also allow him to gain something from the battles.

"Moreover, he used the second form of the Extreme Divine Weapon, 'Sky Swallowing Cone,' in the preliminaries. Luo Feng, you are still very far from the Yan Shen Armament, 'Sky Piercing Style.' You need to work harder."

Upon hearing Babata's words, Luo Feng was taken aback. "The Sky Swallowing Cone?"

He only knew that Lin Yan was much stronger than him, but he didn't know exactly how far Lin Yan had progressed in his understanding of the laws and his cultivation of the Extreme Divine Weapon.

Luo Feng thought about it and realized that Lin Yan had entered the threshold of the Light Origin Law several years earlier than him, so it wasn't surprising that he could use the second level.

But--

What kind of opponent did he encounter that would make him unleash the "Sky Swallowing Cone"?

After all, someone like him in the First World Zone only needs to unleash the first level of "Phantom Sword Style" with a Golden Phantom Sword to be virtually invincible and unstoppable.

Babata saw through his thoughts and said, "Besides Lin Yan, the Ganwu Universe Country has another top genius this time, named 'Savage' Rong Jun. He has a high level of understanding of the Earth Law and Space Law, and his domain has reached the ninth level. He is very powerful and will definitely be able to break into the top 1,000 in the universe."

"But unfortunately he encountered Lin Yan, and in the 88th World Zone, he fought against Lin Yan and was ultimately defeated."

"However, his strength is still difficult for you to deal with right now, so you must be careful when you encounter him again."

Luo Feng nodded to indicate that he understood.

This Genius Battle is truly full of hidden talents!

"We already have 634 call requests and 922 emails," Babata reminded.

"Let's leave the Virtual Universe first." Luo Feng's mind stirred.

Brush!

Consciousness returns to reality and then reconnects to the Virtual Universe.

Brush!

On a lawn in Crescent Moon Crescent Bay on Black Dragon Mountain Island, Luo Feng appeared out of nowhere.

"Brother, you're amazing."

Lin Yan had just returned to the entrance of the Crescent Bay villa when Lin Yan family was already waiting for him. Lin Tangtang ran over excitedly and hugged him tightly.

"What? You don't have faith in your brother?"

"I haven't even used a tenth of my strength yet," Lin Yan grinned, a smug expression on his face.

"Hmph." Lin Tangtang let go of him, rolling her eyes at him. "I just praised you, why are you getting all worked up?"

"Sigh, it's no wonder you don't believe me, Tangtang. It's just that your brother is too strong. They fell down before he even exerted any effort," Lin Yan sighed.

Ta-da...

Lin Tangtang immediately ran to Wen Zhi'an to complain, "Sister-in-law, look, my brother has just achieved some success and he's already getting cocky."

"I'm not being arrogant. Your brother is just stating the facts." Wen Zhi'an chuckled, his demeanor elegant.

Lin Tangtang's eyes widened instantly. She looked left and right, her bright eyes casting a strange gaze.

Is this what they call "husband and wife in harmony"?

Wen Zhi'an actually knew that Lin Yan could use the third form of the Extreme Divine Weapon. Under normal circumstances, the third form of the Extreme Divine Weapon could be considered invincible at the Cosmic level, which was enough to show its strength.

At this moment.

Hong, Thunder God, and Luo Feng also appeared here.

Lin Yan walked over.

"You all did a great job. Passing the preliminary rounds is already half the battle." Lin Yan looked at them and smiled. "Next month is the time for the final battle in the arena. Everyone should train hard during this period."

The Preliminary Elimination process is quite random. Even if you have the strength to be in the top 1,000, you will be eliminated if you encounter the top 100 or top 10 too early.

In the later stages of the competition, this instability was relatively less severe.

Thunder God then laughed, "Haha... This Genius Battle is amazing. The endless battles I've experienced over the past month have given me a lot of insights, and I've made considerable progress."

Hong nodded. "Yes, this kind of environment is the most challenging. Compared to the Genius Battle, the Decisive Battle Space in the Slaughter Arena is like a child's game."

"The Decisive Battle Space only contains some geniuses from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, so it's nothing special," Luo Feng said with a smile.

With their current strength, they are the strongest Stellar level in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Thunder God said, "This time, we will continue with the arena battle. Lin Yan has already won first place in the World Zone and can directly obtain a spot."

Lin Yan nodded slightly. "The selection battle within the Ganwu Universe Country can no longer put any pressure on me. Participating in this level of competition is just a waste of time for me."

He has reached his current peak in all aspects, and neither the ring battle nor the Reincarnation Battle can hone him in any way.

Luo Feng grinned. "That's a bit of a blow to my ego."

Hong patted Luo Feng on the shoulder. "Aren't you used to it yet?"

"We're used to it." Thunder God patted his chest and laughed heartily.

Luo Feng was speechless for a moment. "Look at you, you seem quite proud!"

Virtual Universe, Golden Sword Island.

Slaughter Space.

"Simulated battle!" Rong Jun shouted, "The opponent is set as Lin Yan, and his combat power is set as the strongest combat power he demonstrated in the 88th World Zone."

Hiss...

In the enormous training ground, which is 60 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide, a figure faintly materializes, and then transforms into Lin Yan, who is clad in Golden Armor and riding on the Sky Shattering Shuttle. A Gem Sword hangs in front of him, exactly the same as his appearance in the 88th World Zone.

But his eyes were lifeless, and he stood there motionless.

"Begin!" Rong Jun roared.

Boom!

The simulated Lin Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and then Mirror Crystal rose from the Gem Sword, rapidly assembling in the air.

The world was dark and gloomy.

A massive Black Crystal Vortex appeared, and Rong Jun finally saw the true form of the "Sky Swallowing Cone". The spiral pattern on the Aurora Cone was on the outside, which brought powerful penetrating force, while the spiral pattern on the Sky Swallowing Cone was on the inside. As it rotated rapidly, the shape of the Sky Swallowing Cone was also constantly changing.

This brings with it a powerful sense of oppression.

Once trapped in this "vortex," one must contend with its immense power of engulfment and oppression, the force of which is terrifying.

However, it is not easy to resist the envelopment and devouring effect of this Sky Swallowing Cone.

Boom!

A massive Black Crystal Vortex enveloped the Wildman Youth, Rong Jun held the Earth Splitting Saber, and earth-yellow energy swirled around him, his entire demeanor changing.

Like a war god emerging from the wilderness!

As the Wildman Youth watched the rapidly spinning Black Crystal Vortex unleash its powerful devouring force, his body blurred, and the giant War Blade in his hand instantly moved.

Boom!

This strike.

It's like splitting mountains and breaking peaks, like a tidal wave crashing down!

With unparalleled domineering power and immense weight, the Earth Splitting Saber slashed down, colliding with the Sky Swallowing Cone.

In an instant.

The immense energy was unleashed, and countless black Mirror Crystal disintegrated. Before such power, Rong Jun's body melted away like ice and snow.

Call!

A short while later, Rong Jun reappeared.

"Even if we try our best, we still can't compete?" Rong Jun pondered, his eyes burning with intense passion.

In the 88th World Zone, he did not reveal his full strength, only his movement technique, but... his true power was more reflected in his swordsmanship.

He incorporated his Origin Law Comprehension of earth and space into his swordsmanship, creating his own secret technique. This technique was extremely powerful and was his greatest trump card, which he had never revealed to anyone.

However, his swordsmanship was still ineffective against Lin Yan's Sky Swallowing Cone.

"However, there are still five years until the final showdown. In these five years, I am sure I can surpass him and defeat him."

Barefoot, with messy hair and a height of over three meters, the burly young man gritted his teeth and whispered, "Surpass Lin Yan and get the number one ranking in the entire universe!"

"I will enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company, grow rapidly, and become the strongest of my generation... Ultimately, I will kill that bastard, even if he is the emperor who founded the empire, an immortal being. I Tu Man, swear... I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"

His eyes flashed with a chilling glint, like a lone wolf driven mad by hunger.

The Wildman Youth wielded a giant War Blade.

He growled, "Again!"
