Luo Feng, Hong, Thor, and Dong Nanbiao are currently the strongest people on Earth besides Yang Yu.

He is also the most talented.

Of the four.

Although Thor had also studied Huaxia Neijiaquan to some extent, his understanding was not profound enough and far less than that of Yang Yu and Hong.

His research focused on 'Ancient Yoga'. Before the Great Nirvana Period, he was a martial arts fanatic, with a Pure Heart and a natural affinity for martial arts. He eventually reached the state of 'Unity of Heaven and Man' in Ancient Yoga.

Hong is different; Hong was trained as an assassin from a young age.

The assassin has a very precise control over his strength.

Huaxia Neijiaquan place great emphasis on internal control of the body and mind. As an assassin, he naturally developed his own Martial Way. After undergoing the Great Nirvana Period and venturing into the universe, Hong's subtle control over every bit of power became top-notch.

Dong Nanbiao comes from a family of Martial Way and received systematic Martial Way training from a young age. Later, because of Yang Yu, he came into contact with more and better Martial Way manuals. With more systematic guidance and after a lot of training, his talent was finally well displayed. This time, he made a name for himself, passed the preliminary selection, and has a brighter future.

Luo Feng is the youngest among them!

However, in terms of talent, comprehension, and perseverance, he is excellent in every way.

Luo Feng hadn't received any training in Huaxia Neijiaquan, so his control and application of power in close combat wasn't as good as the older generation of experts. However... Luo Feng's current performance was the strongest besides Yang Yu!

First, his outstanding talent Spirit Reader made him a core Heir of the Yunmo Planet Lineage.

Second, he possessed the Golden Horned Behemoth, which greatly enhanced his talent in the Gold Origin Law, making his soul consciousness and Will Strength much stronger than those of others of the same level.

This places Luo Feng on an extremely high platform, allowing him to rival the most outstanding geniuses among countless Human Race in the vast universe.

Most importantly, Luo Feng's Martial Way will is extremely pure!

He is extremely determined to cultivate and become stronger, and he also attaches great importance to cultivating his mental state, often consulting Yang Yu and others on issues related to mental state.

At the same time, he/she has made rapid progress in all aspects.

They are able to remain absolutely calm in the face of a crisis.

In short, they now have the foundation to become strong; all they need is time and more training!

Inside the house.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the preliminary rounds to end.

"Countdown to the end of the preliminary selection: 60...59...58...57...56..." A majestic and deep voice echoed in the minds of all survivors in the 100 World Zone, causing many Martial Artists in many World Zone to become somewhat impatient.

"Only one minute left! I'm so close!" A lean man looked anxiously at his ranking of 1003.

"I was at 1001 just now, now I'm at 1002," another contestant said in despair.

"It's too late."

"Kill."

"You won't make it into the top 1001 either. As long as you let me kill some, I'll reward you handsomely when we get out."

"You're talking nonsense. A generous reward? The Virtual Universe System won't certify this kind of thing. You'll talk a good game now, but once we're out there, you'll deny everything. What can I do?" Two contestants were still arguing in a corner of the city.

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

Hong and Dong Nanbiao also struggled to hold on until the very last moment, trying to survive the preliminary rounds.

Luo Feng was also waiting silently.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1! Teleport."

At the same time, over a thousand Universe Country selected all the strongest individuals who had passed the preliminary rounds.

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

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

Preliminary rounds are over!

The candidate has been chosen!

Ai Chen from the Yimu Universe Country successfully won first place in this World Zone, earning a direct spot in the All-Universe Genius Competition.

The moment he was teleported out, Ai Chen made a call request to Yang Yu.

At this moment, Yang Yu also woke up from his seclusion. Knowing that today was the day the preliminary rounds of the Genius Competition ended, Yang Yu specially set the time to wake up.

"Hey, the Genius Competition is over! Guess what my ranking is?" Ai Chen on the virtual screen was playful and cute, a far cry from her usual gentle and quiet self.

"Hmm," Yang Yu's mood improved even more at the sight of Ai Chen's adorable appearance. "I bet it's number one!"

"Oh dear, this isn't fun at all. You guessed it so easily," Ai Chen said, pouting, her pure white wings fluttering behind her.

However, after only a moment, Ai Chen's bright smile returned. "Now that I've secured first place, all I need to do is wait for the All-Universe Genius Competition. Be a good boy and wait for me in the Primal Secret Realm!"

"Yes! The house next door has been reserved for you all along. I'll be waiting for you here," Yang Yu said with a smile.

Time Flow Rate very quickly in the Initial Universe. In just two or three years, we will be able to welcome geniuses like Ai Chen and her group to Chaos City for secluded cultivation.

Luo Feng should be among this group at that time.

After chatting with Ai Chen for a while longer, until Ai Chen's call requests were almost inundated, Ai Chen reluctantly ended the video call to report the battle situation to her family.

Meanwhile, the Fengling Yue sisters, Doris, Jarvis, and others also appeared in reality, but unfortunately, none of them passed the preliminary selection.

The highest-ranked Fengling Yin only has a little over 6,000, which is still far from the top 1,000.

At this moment, Luo Feng was also teleported to the skies above Black Dragon Island.

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

A series of notification sounds.

"Luo Feng, there were 371 call requests, oh, now it's 398. Ah, it keeps rising." Babata's familiar voice rang out.

"Haha, Babata, it's been a long time since I heard your voice." Luo Feng stood above Black Dragon Island. At this moment, there were several figures faintly visible in the sky, all of whom had survived the preliminary selection world. But being alive did not guarantee a place in the top 1001.

"In that World Zone, all Virtual Assistant are prohibited from entering," Babata said helplessly. "The Virtual Universe System is simply too powerful; there's no way to resist it."

"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded.

The Virtual Universe technology is indeed very powerful; it can even simulate the Origin Law perfectly. If you don't consciously remind yourself, it's as if you're living in reality.

If such Secret Technique were used to create Illusion Realm, it's hard to imagine how powerful it would be.

And this is just the tip of the Iceberg for Virtual Universe Company.

"We currently have 453 call requests and 892 emails," Babata said.

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

Brush!

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

Brush!

Qiu Long City Xinghai Residential Complex.

A figure appeared out of thin air on the lawn in front of Luo Feng's residence.

From reality to the Virtual Universe, if you own property, you can set it up so that as soon as you enter the Virtual Universe, you will appear directly at the door of your own residence.

"Big Brother, Nanbiao, Third Son!" A familiar voice rang out.

Hong, Dong Nanbiao, and Luo Feng, who appeared at their doorsteps almost simultaneously, all turned to look. It was Thor. Immediately, Luo Feng three of them walked over.

"You three are all pretty good, you successfully passed the preliminary rounds, Third Son are even ranked 26th." Thor curled his lip, "But my luck was Extreme Point, it was like stepping in dog poop, I actually ran into the 'Savage' from our World Zone. That Savage was really too abnormal, he has definitely crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, and he killed me in one move."

"That strong?"

Luo Feng and the other two were somewhat surprised. Thor's strength was not weak; he was an absolute combat genius, and his Sixth Level Domain was enough to contend with ordinary Eighth Level Domain geniuses.

If given more time to hone his skills, he might be able to break through to the Seventh Level Domain like Dong Nanbiao.

"Hmm." Thor chuckled. "If it were Third Son encountering that Savage, he'd be in a better position than me. He might even kill him. You're both aiming for the top 1001, and you might even run into that Savage in the Arena Finals. Third Son, you'd better avenge that stab me then!"

"Haha, if we really run into him, I'll definitely avenge you, Second Brother," Luo Feng said with a laugh. He was also very curious about just how strong this Savage was.

Hong, Thor, and Dong Nanbiao are all powerful figures who emerged from the Great Nirvana Period. They are much older than Luo Feng and always give the impression of having a younger brother, but this younger brother clearly possesses astonishing combat power.

"Xiao Feng, work hard. The stronger you are, the brighter the future of our planet will be. We can't rely on Xiao Yu for everything; we have to strive for success ourselves." Hong patted Luo Feng on the shoulder.

"Okay, Brother Hong, let's work hard together!"

"Dad."

"Luo Feng."

At that moment, a group of people appeared out of nowhere at the door of the house; it was Luo Feng and his family.

At the same time, Jia Yi, Wang Lin, and others also appeared in front of the villa in Xinghai Residential Complex and walked towards the villa where Luo Feng lived.

When a group of people gather together.

A familiar figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Brother Yu!" Wang Lin was the first to exclaim.

"It really is Brother Yu!" Luo Feng exclaimed happily upon spotting his idol.

The others also noticed Yang Yu at this moment.

"It's Xiao Yu." Jia Yi, Hong, Thor, and the others smiled as they walked towards Yang Yu.

"Xiao Yu, your time spent cultivating in Chaos City is precious. You even thought of coming here to see us," Jia Yi said with a smile.

As companions who had been with Yang Yu since the Great Nirvana Period, and who were also older than Yang Yu, Jia Yi, Hong, Thor, and others had always had a good relationship with Yang Yu.

"I've made considerable progress in my cultivation recently, and I just woke up from my seclusion to see that you've finished the preliminary rounds of the Genius Competition, so I thought I'd come and check on you all," Yang Yu said with a smile.

At this moment, Yang Yu had deliberately concealed the Lightning Mark between his eyebrows to avoid increasing the pressure on everyone's cultivation.

"Brother Yu!" Luo Feng walked over with a smile. "Come to my house, let's sit down and chat. It's rare to see you, Brother Yu. Since you're in the Primal Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, we can talk about the internal affairs of the Virtual Universe Company."

The others looked at Yang Yu with curiosity upon hearing this.

"Haha, then I'll chat with you all."

Yang Yu and the others arrived at Luo Feng's house. After everyone sat down, Yang Yu smiled and said:

"As one of the largest forces of our Human Race, this Virtual Universe Company has everything we need for cultivation, Cultivation System, resources, treasures, and powerful teachers. Even just joining the outermost part of the Core Layer of the Endless Secret Realm would yield far greater benefits than joining the Gan Wu Universe Secret Region or becoming a disciple of an ordinary immortal!"

"So Xiao Feng, Brother Hong, and Nanbiao," Yang Yu said, looking at the three of them, "You three must seize this opportunity to join the Core Layer of Virtual Universe Company. The sooner you join, the better it will be for your future!"

"Brother Yu, I will definitely work hard to join the Primal Secret Realm!" Luo Feng said confidently.

Over the past month, Luo Feng has made great progress in practical combat. After fighting against geniuses from various star systems in the Ganwu Universe Country, Luo Feng's understanding of combat and his knowledge of various Origin Law have become much deeper.

He is also constantly comprehending the second level of the Yan Shen Armament. At the current pace, he believes he will be able to initially master it before long.

"Hmm, Xiao Feng, your strength has improved quite a bit. You're ranked in the top fifty this time, right? Based on your current performance, joining the Core Layer shouldn't be a problem. As for whether you can enter the Primal Secret Realm, that depends on your performance later on. I've heard that many super geniuses have emerged in this year's Genius Competition."

Yang Yu said solemnly.

"I know of at least ten geniuses whose strength is no less than yours, and there's even one named Boluo who has achieved astonishing mastery in the Space Law. Your challenge this time is immense; if you can ultimately join the Taichu Secret Realm, which is just one level below it, you'll consider it a success."

"Once your strength improves, you can advance to the Primal Secret Realm through the Primal Sky Mountain or the Qualification Battle, which is the same."

"As for Brother Hong Nanbiao, it's a victory if you two can finally enter the Endless Secret Realm. Even if you only join the Ganwu Secret Realm later, that's acceptable. After all, there are too many geniuses in the universe. Compared to them, you haven't cultivated for long enough."

Yang Yu spoke slowly.

"As for Brother Jia and Xiao Linzi, once you reach the Universe Level and are strong enough, you can participate in the Strong Expert Competition and join either the Virtual Universe Company or the Great Axe Coliseum. The Great Axe Coliseum's foundation is in no way inferior to the Virtual Universe, and joining either one will be of great benefit to your future."

Jia Yi, Wang Lin, and others listened attentively.

"We understand, Xiao Yu. You're right. We'll give it our all now. If you hadn't provided us with such a good training environment from the beginning, it would be questionable whether we could have even reached the Star Level to participate in this Genius Competition. As for the result, we'll just have to do our best and let nature take its course."

Hong said with a smile, appearing very open-minded.

"That's right, Brother Yu, you've done so much for us." Wang Lin said with a smile, "Over the years, we've ventured into quite a few places in the universe. The more we've witnessed the cruelty of the universe, the more we realize how dangerous it is for a native Life Planet to make its first contact with space. Fortunately, we have you, Brother Yu, and we are also fortunate to have Yunmo Planet."

"Yes, Yunmo Planet is indeed very important to us," Luo Feng nodded and said.

Over the years, after Luo Feng's human body reached the Star Level, he also retrieved the first inheritance left to him by Hu Yanbo, although the amount of money was about the same as what the foundation founded by Yang Yu had given him.

However, Luo Feng learned from Babata that as long as he reached the Domain Lord Level, he could obtain all of Hu Yanbo's assets, and the amount of money would be more than enough to satisfy Luo Feng!

"Anyway, you are all the future hope of our Earth Faction. Brother Lei and Brother Jia, it's okay that you had bad luck this time. Keep cultivating diligently, and you will rise to prominence one day!"

Yang Yu looked at everyone and said, "Whether our Earth Faction can rise in the universe and lead Huaxia to true glory in the future depends on everyone here! Let's all work together!"

Let's work together!

Luo Feng, Wang Lin, Hong, and others shouted in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

Having witnessed the cruelty of the universe, they know that for a race or ethnic group to rise to power, the more powerful leaders the better!

Yang Yu was very satisfied with everyone's performance.

The resources he has invested in the Earth over the years have not been wasted.

The Earth can only be truly powerful if it becomes strong on its own.

Only then will we have enough confidence to face future challenges.

Moreover, as Luo Feng and his group rise to prominence, even if they do not reveal any special qualities in their mindset or will in the short term, it is only a matter of time before the unique characteristics of Earth are fully exposed.

Yang Yu only hoped that the exposure would be delayed as long as possible.

It would be best to wait until he possesses strength comparable to Top Universe Overlord before revealing himself.

By then, Yang Yu also had enough power to protect the Earth.

Yang Yu then chatted with everyone for a while, telling them many secrets and interesting stories about the Virtual Universe Company, as well as a lot of common sense about joining, before leaving the Virtual Universe.

"I'll be waiting for you in Chaos City!"

After saying this last sentence, Yang Yu's consciousness returned to reality, and he continued his secluded cultivation in Chaos City.

As Yang Yu's figure faded and disappeared, a fierce flame burned in everyone's eyes.

Especially Luo Feng, Hong, and Dong Nanbiao, their eyes brimming with Extreme Point.

"Alright, now it's time for the Arena Finals. Let's go back and make the most of every minute to continue training, and try our best to pass the Arena Finals!"

Hong said with a smile.

"Alright! Let's pass together!" Luo Feng and Dong Nanbiao shouted.

"Then let's call it a day, see you next time!" Thor said with a smile. "I hope that next time we meet, the three of you will be Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company."

"Haha, I hope so."

Afterwards, everyone dispersed and began to work hard.
