Trial Space

"This genius named Bolan is very powerful. Brother Ming, you need to be careful if you encounter him!"

Luo Feng had watched the combat videos of Bolan more than once. Among the thousands of pieces of information, excluding Yue Ming, Bolan's strength was undoubtedly the strongest.

"I know Bolan. He is indeed the most powerful genius in this Peak Genius Battle. However, judging by his performance in the videos, he seems to be holding back..."

Yue Ming watched the video. He could tell that Bolan wasn't going all out. Based on his comprehension of the Origin Laws, Bolan's Space Origin Laws had at least reached 15%.

"Besides Bolan, there are no other decent geniuses."

The thousands of videos were quickly fast-forwarded. Yue Ming shook his head slightly, finding that besides Bolan, there were no other noteworthy experts.

"..."

Luo Feng and the others twitched their mouths a few times, feeling that Yue Ming was being a bit ostentatious. However, they also knew that Yue Ming was likely just stating the facts, and perhaps only Bolan could earn his high regard.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three days went by. The Peak Grand Finals were finally about to begin.

On the various continents and islands of the Virtual Universe, millions of geniuses teleported to their respective cosmic countries' gathering places.

On a floating island above the Ganwu Continent, Yue Ming and the others suddenly appeared at the teleportation point.

"Everyone, please follow me this way."

Next to the teleportation point stood a Universe Level Warrior. He wore a work uniform and smiled, pointing to a path beside him.

"Thank you."

Yue Ming and the others nodded with a smile and walked directly along the path, soon arriving at a plaza surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants.

A large crowd had gathered in the plaza, men and women of various appearances. However, at least one-third of them, in terms of appearance, were quite similar to Earthlings. Earthling appearances were considered mainstream in the universe.

"Quick, look, the Madman is here..."

"Who is that person standing next to the Madman? He looks a bit familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before?"

"It's Sword God Seek Defeat. Haven't you seen his information?"

"So he's Sword God Seek Defeat. His combat videos are too blurry to see his face clearly. He's hailed as one of the most promising candidates to advance into the top ten of the Peak Grand Finals..."

"I heard that Sword God Seek Defeat's comprehension of Space Origin Laws is very profound..."

"The contestants in this Peak Genius Battle are too monstrous. First, there's Death God Bolan, and now Sword God Seek Defeat..."

Although Yue Ming was low-key, his information had still been dug up. Someone had found his nickname in the Decisive Battle Space, 'Seek Defeat'.

Coupled with his battle sword that swept through the entire world competition zone, some busybodies gave him the title, Sword God Seek Defeat.

"Hey, Madman."

"Killer, long time no see."

"Thor!"

Seeing Luo Feng and the others arrive, many people smiled and greeted them. Because they had fought one-on-one with most of them during the Reincarnation battles, they were somewhat acquainted.

"Wind Wheel!"

"Patro."

Luo Feng and the others also greeted a few friends. As time passed, the plaza became increasingly crowded, and soon all one thousand geniuses had gathered.

The crowd stood together, chatting and catching up with those they knew from real life or had met during battles.

"Luo Feng, aren't you going to introduce me? This must be Sword God Seek Defeat! I've watched your combat videos, you're very powerful! Let's spar sometime."

A youth dressed like a savage, nearly three meters tall and wearing animal skins, strode over. His eyes burned as he looked at Yue Ming, exuding a powerful fighting spirit.

"I know you too, Savage Rong Jun. Your strength is also not bad!"

Yue Ming smiled and nodded. Rong Jun was too tall; he had to look up to speak to him.

"Luo Feng, your strength has improved a lot in the past year or so, right? I know you've made great progress."

"You'll know when you try during the Peak Finals!"

"So confident?"

"Of course!"

Just as everyone was chatting and catching up, an invisible pressure covered the entire plaza. Everyone's complexion turned pale, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Then, with the sound of footsteps, a giant wearing scale armor and a helmet walked over. The aura he naturally exuded carried a heavy scent of blood, instilling involuntary fear.

"You can call me Lord Thirteen. By the order of the great Ganwu Country Lord, I will lead the team to participate in the Peak Grand Finals..."

"Yue Ming, Rong Jun."

The giant in scale armor, who called himself Thirteen, his gaze fell upon Yue Ming and Rong Jun.

"Lord Thirteen."

Yue Ming and Rong Jun quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"In this Peak Genius Battle, your strength belongs to the absolute top tier. Especially Yue Ming, you are almost guaranteed a spot in the top ten of the Peak Grand Finals. The Country Lord has high expectations for you. Do not disappoint the Country Lord, understand?"

"Yes!"

Yue Ming and Rong Jun responded respectfully.

"Let's go!"

Then, under Thirteen's lead, the group teleported together, arriving in a brand-new plane created by the Virtual Universe Company.

"We're here. You're free to do as you please! You can sleep in your rooms or go to the plaza to mingle with geniuses from other universe countries. Tomorrow morning, the Peak Genius Battle finals will begin. The organizers from the Virtual Universe Company will summon you then. No matter where you are in this plane, you'll hear the notification..."

"Yes!"

After Thirteen left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They then gathered in small groups, chatting or heading to find their rooms.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. The Peak Genius Battle finals officially began, and a clear, pleasant voice echoed throughout the entire plane.

"All participants from Universe Country 1008, please gather at the central plaza..."

Instantly, millions of geniuses flew from the sky, or emerged from the residential buildings, or converged towards the center from the edges of the central plaza. Soon, all the geniuses were gathered.

In front of everyone stood 1008 Immortal beings. These Immortals naturally exuded their pressure. The combined pressure of over a thousand powerful Immortals instantly silenced the millions of people in the plaza. Not a single person dared to make a sound.

"Welcome to the Peak Genius Battle hosted by our Virtual Universe Company."

A man with purple scales on his head, wearing a blue battle robe, appeared in the empty space in front of them. He smiled as he hovered in mid-air, his naturally emanating aura compelling everyone to submit.

"Venerable!"

The thousand-plus Immortals bowed in greeting. Seeing this, the geniuses quickly followed suit.

"No need for formalities."

The man in the blue robe nodded with a smile and proceeded to explain the rules of the Peak Genius Battle finals.

"From the 1008 universe countries, one thousand geniuses are selected from each country, totaling over a million geniuses. Our Virtual Universe Company will select the strongest thousand people from among you to be absorbed into the core of the Virtual Universe Company. This means that you, over a million people, will be competing for these one thousand spots."

"You will all be teleported to a Trial Space. Our Virtual Universe Company has prepared over a million Trial Spaces for you, one for each person."

"Within each Trial Space, there are a total of seven Trial Towers, and each Trial Tower has seven levels. You will start from the first Trial Tower, clear all seven levels, then proceed to the second Trial Tower, and so on, until you die and are kicked out of the Trial Space. Only then will the competition end!"

"Your Points will be calculated based on your performance in the Trial Space..."

After the man in the blue robe finished explaining the competition rules, a teleportation countdown sounded in everyone's ears: Ten, nine, eight, seven...

As the countdown ended, an invisible force enveloped everyone. Yue Ming felt his body lighten and then found himself appearing on an asteroid.

He looked around. Distant, tiny stars could be seen. In the center of the asteroid stood seven high towers, each with seven levels.

Yue Ming looked down at the bracer on his wrist. Just like during the preliminary selection within the Ganwu Universe Country, this bracer's screen would automatically receive various messages transmitted by the host, the Virtual Universe Company.
