Bravely Seize Second Place, Girl

!

Virtual Universe, Central Plaza.

Although over a thousand people had yet to be eliminated and were still fighting bitterly in the Trial Space, whether it was the millions of eliminated participants or the 1,008 Immortal powerhouses, most of them had now turned their attention to Lu Ming.

Compared to watching the other geniuses still attempting the trials to see whether anyone else might suddenly erupt, they were far more concerned with Lu Ming's performance. Countless challengers wanted to see exactly which floor of the sixth Trial Tower he could reach.

As for the Immortal Gods, they did not want to miss the rise of a peerless prodigy.

Under the gaze of countless people, even as the terrifyingly strengthened Nine-Headed Pythons on the second floor launched a joint assault, Lu Ming rode the Spherical Electromagnetic Space Domain through them with abandon, thrusting out his spear again and again!

His spear shot forth like a dragon!

Every thrust seemed capable of piercing the heavens and running through the earth!

Its might shook the sky!

Every thrust was so fast that the geniuses present could not see it clearly with the naked eye!

Ghostly as lightning!

No one could judge the trajectory of any thrust, as elusive as an antelope's horns.

Without a trace to follow!

Boom!

One thrust pierced through dozens, even hundreds, of Nine-Headed Pythons, after which the terrifying force of the spear erupted instantly, completely ending their lives! Simple and efficient!

"Strong—too strong!"

On the second floor, Lu Ming's battle once again left everyone dazzled.

The power of his spear was truly earth-shattering! Combined with his incomprehensibly exquisite Movement Technique, it was enough to make all the geniuses look up to him.

On the third floor, facing 1,000 metal-lifeform Tuoluo Clan Warriors, Lu Ming once again displayed nearly perfect combat talent. He easily broke the battle formation formed by the warriors, then defeated them one by one!

Fourth floor...

Fifth floor...

Although the battles grew longer and increasingly perilous, Lu Ming never once stopped moving forward.

Meanwhile, in the other Trial Spaces.

On the first floor of the sixth Trial Tower.

A moment of life and death!

Facing the overwhelming herd of Blood-Haired Mammoths charging madly toward him, War Emperor Kun Zhou had already envisioned himself being trampled into pulp beneath their iron hooves.

Yet he showed no fear. Clenching his fists, he stepped forward and charged directly into the beast herd!

But after only a moment, he met his final end!

War Emperor Kun Zhou killed 397 Blood-Haired Mammoths before stopping at the first floor of the sixth Trial Tower, temporarily ranking second!

In Trial Tower challenges, controllers generally held the greatest advantage. Yet the first two people to enter the sixth Trial Tower this time were both warriors!

After Kun Zhou, the genius girl Tiffany from the Peakrock Universe Kingdom imperial family became the third person to enter the sixth Trial Tower. Controlling the Blood Edge Divine Weapon, she erupted wildly on this floor, condensing three diamond-shaped blood shuttles and using all her strength to kill her targets!

In the end, after killing 5,429 Blood-Haired Mammoths, Imperial Daughter Tiffany likewise stopped at the first floor of the sixth Trial Tower, her overall universe ranking fixed at second.

War Emperor Kun Zhou, meanwhile, dropped to third.

After that, Wind King Bailu, also a controller but one who used the Hurricane Divine Weapon, likewise reached the sixth Trial Tower. Moreover, he killed an astonishing 7,600-plus Blood-Haired Mammoths, and his final score surpassed that of the Imperial Daughter.

The second-place spot in the overall universe rankings changed hands once again, while Imperial Daughter Tiffany and War Emperor Kun Zhou dropped down in turn.

As time passed, more people gradually reached the sixth Trial Tower, but without exception, they all fell on the first floor!

One after another, they were either famous geniuses already deemed strong enough to rank in the top ten of the universe overall, or super dark horses who had previously been unknown but suddenly erupted with astonishing power...

They either fell on the first floor of the sixth tower or the seventh floor of the fifth Trial Tower.

Among those who reached the sixth Trial Tower, most were controllers. Even Skyfire Feike, a highly renowned warrior genius, ultimately fell on the seventh floor of the fifth tower, temporarily ranking thirteenth.

But when it came to the most unexpected dark horse genius of this Genius Battle, it had to be Snow Elf Liya from the North Cang Universe Kingdom!

This Snow Elf Race girl, who had initially ranked near the bottom in the Trial Towers, suddenly unleashed her true strength at a certain point. She forcefully cleared the fifth Trial Tower and became the seventh person to charge into the sixth Trial Tower!

Even with Lu Ming still making his way through the trials, the girl's outstanding performance still drew considerable attention.

"Though she hid herself deeply, the sixth Trial Tower is several times harder than the fifth. She'll definitely fall on the first floor as well," many geniuses said with certainty.

"This floor is her limit!"

Many geniuses split their attention between the battle scenes of Demon God Lu Ming and Snow Elf Liya, discussing them animatedly.

On the first floor of the sixth Trial Tower, the beautiful girl with lovely silver hair, like an elf amid snow, simultaneously controlled the flying Psychic Weapon Azure Sea Plate and another fifth-tier offensive Psychic Weapon called Thousand Snow Crystal.

Frost Snow Fills the Sky! Determination burst from the silver-haired girl's eyes. From the Psychic Weapon before her, constructed of crystalline pieces, every tiny crystal suddenly erupted with dazzling icy-blue light, sweeping toward the terrifying Blood-Haired Mammoth herd below like a raging storm!

Meanwhile, she herself split into eighteen spatial phantom bodies, constantly flashing and shifting through the skies of the grassland world, frantically changing her position.

After a long while, all ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths were truly slaughtered by her. Yet judging from her pale face and exhausted appearance, it was clear that she had also reached her limit.

"The Nine-Headed Python herd on the second floor may have roughly the same base strength as the Blood-Haired Mammoths, but Nine-Headed Pythons are demonic beasts. They are more intelligent and fight in more varied ways. She probably won't get through..."

Intelligent demonic beasts were far harder to deal with than ferocious beasts driven only by fighting instincts.

"That Snow Elf Race girl hid herself deeply indeed. She actually managed to struggle through the first floor of the sixth Trial Tower!" The red-dressed girl, also a controller, felt a faint pressure rise in her heart.

"That Snow Elf Race girl is a formidable enemy..." The Azure Feather Clan youth, with two azure wings on his back and azure hair as well, had a sharp gleam in his eyes. His gaze was completely locked onto the two figures still fighting their way through the trials on the screen, and the wings behind him began to tremble involuntarily.

He was precisely Wind King Bailu, the super genius whose overall universe ranking had just fallen to third.

If it was the Snow Elf Race girl who had barely passed the first floor of the sixth Trial Tower, he still had some confidence that he could defeat her. But... Demon God Lu Ming, who was already close to clearing the sixth Trial Tower, was someone even he had to admit was still vastly ahead of him.

That kind of combat strength was already approaching the Stellar level limit.

"But one day, I will definitely defeat you!" A dark glint flashed through the Azure Feather Clan youth's eyes as he continued staring fixedly at the two figures on the screen.

Very soon, Snow Elf Race girl Liya fell on the second floor of the sixth Trial Tower. She successfully surpassed the other peerless geniuses and claimed... second place.

As for first place? From beginning to end, it could only belong to that man—the man like a god and demon, the man called Demon God!

Pfft!

When Lu Ming's spear pierced the Zerg Mother Empress's fragile body, the entire Central Plaza let out suppressed gasps.

"Heavens!"

"Demon God Lu Ming actually cleared the sixth Trial Tower."

"This is utterly insane."

Too strong.

Watching the black-clothed young man on the screen holding his spear in one hand, everyone could only hold their breath.

Lu Ming's power had completely surpassed the imagination of the top geniuses from every universe kingdom present.

"When he challenged the seventh floor of the sixth tower, he didn't seem to have it easy either. I wonder whether he can clear the first floor of the seventh Trial Tower!"

"If he can clear even that, it'll be terrifying."

"The difficulty jumps sharply between every Trial Tower! The first floor of the seventh tower is several times harder than the seventh floor of the sixth tower."

"I wonder if he'll pass."

Countless people watched intently, including the 1,008 Immortal Beings. Entering the seventh Trial Tower was something no one had accomplished in tens of thousands of eras.

Even many major figures from the Virtual Universe Company and the other four great giants, figures capable of making the entire universe tremble, were watching this battle. According to the difficulty settings, it should have been absolutely impossible for anyone at the Stellar level to pass the seventh Trial Tower.
