Defeat Seeker

"As for the Peak Genius Battle, you can search for it yourselves in the virtual universe, or call Bebeth out. It should know quite a lot about the Peak Genius Battle..."

"Bebeth, stop playing games for now. Come out and explain to us what the Peak Genius Battle is."

Hearing Yue Ming say this, Luo Feng immediately called for Bebeth. Compared to searching online himself, where it was hard to tell truth from falsehood, asking Bebeth directly was undoubtedly the better choice.

"The Peak Genius Battle? Why are you asking about that? But speaking of the Peak Genius Battle, if I calculate carefully, the next one should be held soon—possibly within the next few years. This is a rare opportunity."

"Luo Feng, you must register when the time comes. I don't expect you to make it into the top thousand in the finals. As long as you can reach the top thousand in the Ganwu Universe Country, that'll be enough. Then you'll have a chance to cultivate in the Ganwu Secret Realm..."

Under Bebeth's explanation, they finally understood what the Peak Genius Battle was and what it meant to them. It would be a true opportunity to soar to great heights!

The Peak Genius Battle was held once every five thousand years, hosted in rotation by the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. The previous Peak Genius Battle had been hosted by the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, so the next one would be hosted by the Virtual Universe Company.

As long as they achieved a good ranking in the Peak Genius Battle, not only would they receive generous rewards, but they would also have a chance to become core members of the Virtual Universe Company and receive its full support.

"The Virtual Universe Company joins forces with all the universe countries to hold battles among hundreds of millions of Stellar Level geniuses, eventually deciding the final top thousand?"

"Hahaha! Fighting hundreds of millions of geniuses from across the universe—just thinking about it already makes my blood boil!"

"A grand event held once every five thousand years. Of course we can't miss it. This will be our chance to soar to greatness!"

The three exchanged glances, each seeing burning fighting spirit in the others' eyes. But just as their morale surged, Bebeth directly poured cold water over them.

"It's not that I want to discourage you or dampen your spirits. Forget the top thousand in the entire universe—that's far, far too difficult for you, practically impossible. Even in the Ganwu Universe Country alone, it would already be quite good if you could break into the top thousand."

"Your talent is actually quite good. You would count as geniuses even in the universe. But you've cultivated for too short a time. Others have cultivated for centuries, even thousands of years, while you've only cultivated for a few decades. Others have famous teachers guiding them, some even studying under Immortals, while you have nothing..."

Bebeth's words were discouraging, but they were also very realistic. For a moment, all three fell silent. Compared to the geniuses of the universe, there truly were many areas where they fell short.

"Actually, it's not as though you have no chance. There should still be a few years before the Peak Genius Battle begins. As long as you can step over the threshold of the Origin Laws within those years, you'll still have a chance to make it into the top thousand in the finals."

In the original story, only Luo Feng advanced into the top thousand of the finals and eventually entered the Virtual Universe Company. Hong and Thor both failed.

Now, because of his appearance, Hong and Thor were much stronger than they had been in the original story. Thor had already reached the fifth level of Domain. Before the Peak Genius Battle, it was not impossible for him to comprehend the Origin Laws.

"Comprehending the Origin Laws is far too difficult. We're not monsters like you. But Luo Feng has a great chance. He has already successfully possessed the Golden Horn Beast. The Golden Horn Beast is beloved by the Gold Laws, so comprehending the Gold Origin Laws shouldn't be difficult..."

Hong had improved enormously as well and had already broken through to the sixth level of Domain. Yet he had no confidence whatsoever in comprehending the Origin Laws. Even now, he had not sensed the slightest fluctuation from the source of the laws.

However, this was perfectly normal. Generally, only after one's Domain broke through the seventh level or above could one vaguely sense the fluctuations of the Origin Laws. Only after sensing those fluctuations would one be qualified to comprehend the Origin Laws.

"What! Are you saying Yue Ming has already comprehended the Origin Laws?"

Bebeth cried out in shock, its face filled with disbelief. It had been playing games earlier and had not heard the three discussing this. Only now did it learn that Yue Ming had already comprehended the Origin Laws.

Bebeth glanced at Yue Ming, then turned to Luo Feng, its face becoming utterly lifeless.

"Hey, Bebeth, what kind of look is that?"

Bebeth's expression made Luo Feng feel insulted. Was it starting to look down on him now?

"Yue Ming, let's go to the Decisive Battle Space right now. Let us properly experience just how powerful a laws genius is."

"Fine!"

This time, Yue Ming did not refuse. Since they wanted to experience it, he would let them learn how terrifying a laws genius truly was! He would also let them understand what kind of opponents they would face in the future Peak Genius Battle.

"Yue Ming, this is your first time entering the Decisive Battle Space. You can choose a title for yourself."

"Then I'll call myself 'Defeat Seeker.'"

"That name really makes people want to beat you up. Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?"

"In this universe, there aren't many at the Stellar Level who can take one sword strike from me. There are even fewer who can defeat me!"

"Fine! You're amazing."

After entering the Decisive Battle Space, everyone appeared in an arena. Upon receiving Thor's challenge request, Yue Ming chose to accept, and their figures appeared in the center of the arena.

"521 wins, 32 losses, five-star rating!"

As Thor's opponent, Yue Ming could see Thor's information. The lowest rating in the Decisive Battle Space was one star, while the highest was nine stars. Those rated nine stars were all supreme experts among those at the same level.

"Yue Ming, take my strongest move!"

Knowing that Yue Ming had already comprehended the Origin Laws and that he could not possibly be Yue Ming's match, Thor immediately unleashed his strongest attack.

Yue Ming said nothing and simply drew his sword. Without any warning, a dazzling sword light swept past. Then there was nothing more. Yue Ming had only swung one sword, yet he easily killed Thor.

The gap between them was simply too great. Forget Thor merely being at the fifth level of Domain—even if he stepped over the threshold of the Lightning Origin Laws, he still would not be able to block Yue Ming's sword.

"My turn!"

Seeing Thor beheaded by a single sword strike, Hong's fighting spirit instead surged. Yet the final result was the same: he was killed by Yue Ming in one strike.

"I'll try too."

Finally, it was Luo Feng's turn. Yue Ming likewise ended the battle with a single sword strike.

"The gap between you and Yue Ming is simply too great..."

Bebeth had sharp eyes. It could even tell that Yue Ming had not used his full strength at all. When killing the three, each sword strike had been casual. He had likely not even used one-tenth of his power.
