A Sensation

After the spatial transfer, Bai Yue was teleported to Black Dragon Mountain Island in the Virtual Universe.

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

A string of notification sounds rang out.

"Master, you have 3,461 call requests. Oh, there are now 3,624 call requests. Ah, the number is still rising." Long Kui's familiar voice sounded. Ever since he had entered the Sixth World Zone, she had been cut off from Bai Yue.

"Long time no hear, Long Kui!"

"Master, I missed you too! The Virtual Universe Company is far too powerful. It directly blocked all Intelligent Assistants, so there was no way to resist." Long Kui's helpless voice came through.

Hearing Long Kui's voice, warmth filled his heart. Come to think of it, Long Kui was only a few years old now. This was also the first time she had been separated from him, her old father, for so long!

He comforted Long Kui for a while, fulfilling his longtime dream of being a doting daughter slave.

At the same time, figures continued to be teleported onto Black Dragon Mountain Island, most of them participants in the preliminary rounds.

With a thought, his consciousness returned to his physical body in reality before reentering the Virtual Universe. This was one of the Virtual Universe's mechanisms. Whenever one entered, if one owned property, one would appear directly outside one's own house, making it far more convenient than traveling there!

"Old Bai, you're here!"

The moment he appeared at the entrance, Luo Feng, who had arrived a few seconds earlier, spotted him.

Thunder God, who had been eliminated first, had long been waiting with the families of Luo Feng and Hong.

"Let me take a look at our world number one. Terrifying indeed!" Thunder God said exaggeratedly.

"Is it really that exaggerated? It's not like you don't know my strength. Taking first place was as easy as taking candy from a baby!" Seeing through his antics, Bai Yue did not hold back and started praising himself.

"Besides, that madman did pretty well too. Much better than certain people who got eliminated early." He took a few jabs at Thunder God while also praising Luo Feng.

"My luck was just too bad. I ran into that savage. That guy definitely crossed the threshold of an Origin Law. He killed me in one slash."

"He was that strong?" Luo Feng and Hong, who did not know the savage's strength, were somewhat surprised!

"Very strong. You'll run into him in the upcoming arena matches. He definitely has the strength to rank in the universe's top ten. It isn't just that he has entered the Origin Laws; he may have also entered the Space Law! You'd better be careful if you encounter him." Bai Yue took the opportunity to reveal some of the savage Rong Jun's strength.

After the preliminary rounds ended.

The top 1,001 from each World Zone advanced through the preliminaries. Across all one hundred World Zones, there were a total of 100,100 people. At the same time, the first-place finisher in every World Zone directly obtained a final slot.

Only the top 1,000 of the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom were qualified to participate in the peak Genius Battle for all humanity in the universe. Those 1,000 would represent the entire Gan Wu Universe Kingdom and battle the countless geniuses from many other Universe Kingdoms to determine the most outstanding figures among humanity throughout the universe.

The Gan Wu Universe Kingdom had 1,000 slots. Now, the first-place finisher of each World Zone directly received one slot, taking away a total of 100 slots.

The remaining 100,000 would compete for the 900 remaining slots.

"Luo Feng," "Hong," and "Nabini" of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire would compete in the final selection among the 100,000 powerhouses. Only 900 out of those 100,000 were qualified to obtain slots.

The elimination rate remained extremely high!

Those who could obtain the final slots were all enviable super geniuses, the most elite seedlings coveted by countless organizations and factions. Every one of them could be called a "special-class elite."

Of course, none of that had anything to do with Bai Yue anymore. He had already obtained a slot and had no interest in their upcoming battles. He only wanted to seize the time to raise his strength further.

Of course, he first had to handle what came next. From the very beginning of the preliminary rounds, his results in the Sixth World Zone had remained at the top. Later, he had even become number one, causing his fame to truly resound throughout the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom and even the entire Human Territory, attracting the attention of countless people.

The Virtual Universe Company had even posted edited videos of him on the official website for users across the universe to watch.

Especially after footage of the final battle was uploaded online, the title "Heavenly Emperor" was completely cemented onto him, drawing the attention of countless people. He was unquestionably the hottest sensation around!

Among the contestants participating in this peak Genius Battle, only "Death God" Bolan could rival him in popularity.

In the comment section below the videos, fans from both sides voiced their opinions, convinced that their own idol was the strongest. Yet because the two had never fought, they could only compare them through the available videos. For a time, the comment section became a chaotic battleground.

The online matters were easy enough to deal with; he could just pretend not to see them. But there was no avoiding those who came in reality. He had to receive them at least once!

Over the past month, Bai Yue had experienced the "troubles of fame." Many factions from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had come knocking, and not only that, even some super organizations within the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom had sent people to seek Bai Yue out, hoping that he would join them and take up a position within their organizations!

"Refuse them. Refuse them all."

"Tell them that I'm currently in seclusion, preparing for the Genius Battle finals." Bai Yue was also troubled and helpless, so he could only tell Long Kui to use this method.

What he had not expected was that even his nominal teacher, Lord Gan Wu, had come to join the commotion.

Black Dragon Mountain Island in the Virtual Universe, Nine-Star Bay Villa District.

After announcing his seclusion, he had not been making excuses. He had genuinely begun cultivating, preparing to stay home until the finals began.

But today, Long Kui still reminded him to enter the Virtual Universe because an envoy delegation from the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom had arrived!

The news stunned even him. This was something that had not happened in the original story.

What he did not know was that Ji Ning, his avatar, had achieved success and brought Lord Gan Wu considerable benefits. This made Lord Gan Wu more invested than ever in nurturing geniuses. Combined with Bai Yue's final battle in the preliminary rounds, where hundreds of Illusionary Bodies displayed his comprehension of the Space Law, Lord Gan Wu believed that Bai Yue was a strong contender for first place in this Genius Battle. That was why this scene had occurred.

Looking at the envoy delegation, Bai Yue found it was the familiar Thirteen, one of Lord Gan Wu's personal guards, an eight-meter-tall burly man clad in scales. This immediately put him in a difficult position.

After welcoming the envoy delegation into the hall, everyone took their seats as host and guests. Thirteen spoke first.

"Bai Yue, the Lord of the Country thinks highly of your strength. He has paid you great attention and attaches great importance to you. He believes you possess the strength to compete for first place in this Genius Battle."

At this moment, Luo Feng and the others, having received the news, also entered the living room and sat down.

"I came here for two reasons. First, to see the peerless genius who has emerged from our Gan Wu Universe Kingdom for the Lord of the Country! Second, to offer you encouragement on his behalf." At this point, Thirteen paused, and his expression turned solemn.

"The Lord of the Country has said that if you take first place in this Genius Battle, he will accept you as a registered disciple!"

Bai Yue was dumbfounded, truly dumbfounded. Had his nominal teacher become addicted to taking disciples? He had no idea how to vent the complaint lodged in his heart!

If he did not explain this clearly, would Lord Gan Wu beat him to death once he later learned that Ji Ning and Bai Yue were actually the same person?

"Bai Yue, becoming the Lord of the Country's disciple is an opportunity beyond anything you can imagine. You must understand that in the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom, the Lord of the Country can fulfill all your expectations!" Seeing that Bai Yue remained silent, Thirteen assumed he did not understand what it meant to become Lord Gan Wu's disciple and explained it to him.

At the side, Luo Feng and the others frantically signaled with their eyes, urging him to agree.

Bai Yue wore a bitter smile. Was it that he did not want to agree?
