The Preliminary Selection Ends and Secret Techniques

On the towering mountain peak, Yang Wu sat cross-legged, waiting for the Preliminary Elimination Tournament to end.

"Countdown to the end of the preliminaries, 60...59...58..." A majestic and deep voice echoed in the minds of all the surviving participants in the one hundred World Zone.

This sound also made countless contestants impatient.

"Brothers, I am the sixth prince of the Pengyu Empire. Whoever I kill, give me 500,000 points. I will reward you handsomely when I get out!"

"Five hundred thousand? Sixth Prince, how many points do you have now?"

"Three thousand!"

"Pfft, Sixth Prince, you'd better figure it out yourself. I have 800,000 points and I'm only ranked around 1700!"

"Damn it, I'm number 1003. I'm almost there, I have to fight with my life on the line! Kill!"

"It's too late!"

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

"3...2...1! Teleport!"

All the participants in the one hundred World Zone vanished instantly, and then each of those virtual worlds collapsed, turning everything into nothingness.

At the same time, the final rankings for each World Zone were fully released to the public.

Preliminary rounds are over!

All shortlisted candidates have been selected!

Luo Feng was teleported from the First World Zone to Black Dragon Mountain Island.

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

A series of notification sounds.

"Luo Feng, there were 376 call requests. Oh, now it's 406. Ah, it's still rising." Babata's familiar voice rang in Luo Feng's mind.

"Haha, Babata, it's been so long since I heard your voice, I'm almost not used to it," Luo Feng joked.

"There's nothing we can do; the Virtual Universe Company's system is too powerful. No intelligence can resist it!"

Then, Babata encouraged him, "Luo Feng, you did a great job this time! You actually made it to 23rd in the World Zone!"

"How are Yang and the others doing?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

Luo Feng was slightly disappointed that he wasn't assigned to the same World Zone as Yang Wu this time; otherwise, the two might have been able to have a showdown.

"Hong is ranked 673rd and Thunder God is ranked 967th; both have successfully passed the qualifiers!" Babata replied.

"What about Brother Yang?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

Babata gave Luo Feng a wry smile and said, "Luo Feng, you'd better be prepared for what's coming next!"

"What happened?" Could it be that Brother Yang didn't pass the preliminary round? That can't be!"

"Of course not!" Babata immediately said, "Yang Wu is the number one in the World Area 88!"

"First place is fine! With Brother Yang's strength, taking the number one spot in the World Zone should be relatively easy! Why do I need to prepare myself mentally?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

In fact, with Luo Feng's current strength, he could easily compete for the world's number one spot, but firstly, he finds it too troublesome, and secondly, he is quite interested in arena battles.

Competing against a large number of top geniuses from the Ganwu Universe Country will also allow him to gain a lot.

"See for yourself!" With that, Babata waved his hand, and a video immediately appeared in front of Luo Feng.

The video shows the scene of Yang Wu and Rong Jun fighting on the last day of the qualifiers.

While playing the video, Babata said, "Yang Wu has been in first place in the World Area 88 since the beginning of the qualifiers, with a commanding lead in points! Moreover, in the final battle, he actually unleashed the second level of the Overlord Spear!"

"Arc Light, it's actually Arc Light!"

Upon seeing Yang Wu and Rong Jun appear as two separate bodies in the video, Luo Feng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yes!" Babata exclaimed, "I never expected Yang Wu to make such great progress in just one year. A year ago, although his Movement Technique was good, he hadn't even touched the threshold of the Origin Law of Space. Now, his understanding of the Law of Space is so profound! It's simply unbelievable!"

"Yes! The Origin Law of Space! I can only unleash the three Phantom Swords of the Yan Shen Armament now, but I didn't expect Brother Yang to be able to use the second level of the Overlord Spear!" Luo Feng exclaimed, "The gap has widened even more in just one year!"

"Luo Feng, don't be discouraged!" Babata comforted him, "Those 'Savage' Rong Jun and Yang Wu are both older than you, you can definitely catch up with them!"

"Disheartened?" Luo Feng shook his head with a smile.

He never gave up; on the path to becoming a strong person, it's terrifying to have no rivals.

Luo Feng has never been afraid of anyone!

"Rong Jun, Brother Yang! I will surpass you one by one!" Luo Feng secretly set a goal for himself.

On the other side, Yang Wu had just returned to the Virtual Universe when he immediately received a communication request from his teacher, Jinguang Marquis.

Immediately after sending a few emails to his family, Yang Wu's consciousness returned to reality, and he arrived at his senior brother Natie's villa.

At this moment, Jinguang Marquis and Natie were waiting there.

"Holy crap, junior brother, you've gone way overboard this time! Your strength is terrifying! Everyone's saying you're already in the top ten of the universe! That's so impressive!"

As soon as Yang Wu entered the door, Natie excitedly ran over and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Senior brother, I was just lucky!" Yang Wu smiled, then respectfully bowed to Jinguang Marquis and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

Yang Wu respected Jinguang Marquis from the bottom of his heart.

Without Jinguang Marquis's guidance, even with the help of the Simulator, Yang Wu would not have been able to achieve such success in such a short time.

"Get up!" Jinguang Marquis nodded with a smile, "Yang Wu, you did very well! I thought it would be great if you could break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe, but I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise!"

"I only managed to break through in the preliminary rounds by sheer luck!" Yang Wu said modestly.

Before the match began, his displayed strength was only enough to be on the verge of crossing the threshold of Law of Space, so naturally he had to find a way to explain it.

"You don't need to be modest!" Jinguang Marquis smiled and said, "I saw your final battle with Rong Jun. At the Star Level, there are very few who can match your combat power! Perhaps, in this Genius Battle, you can challenge for the number one spot in the universe's overall rankings!"

Upon hearing Jinguang Marquis mention his battle with Rong Jun, Yang Wu quickly said, "Master, I have a question that I don't quite understand. Please enlighten me!"

"What is it?" Jinguang Marquis asked with a smile.

"When I fought Rong Jun before, we both used spear and sword techniques at the first level of Warrior God Weapon."

Yang Wu asked in confusion, "I believe I have fully mastered the first level of the Overlord Spear technique, so Wei He is the power of my first level so much weaker than that of Rong Jun?"

"So that's the problem! I had a debate about it with some other Immortal before, so I thought I'd tell you!"

"The most important reason for this is the difference in the secret techniques you two use!"

"The difference between secret techniques?" Yang Wu asked, puzzled.

"That's right!" Jinguang Marquis nodded and continued, "The Force Weapon and psychic Telepathic Weapon used by martial artists and Spiritual Master are all made by powerful individuals, and it's impossible for them to perfectly suit everyone's needs."

"Although you have a deep understanding of the first level of the Overlord Spear, you still use it according to the most basic method, which is rather rigid. Rong Jun, on the other hand, has combined his Law Comprehension, his domain, and his weapon to create his own sword technique, which is naturally more powerful than your use of the first level of the Overlord Spear."

"Does that mean I have to Self-Created Secret Technique?" Yang Wu asked, puzzled.

In the original novel, Luo Feng Self-Created Secret Technique when he was at the World Lord Level, so Yang Wu certainly didn't want to waste time too early.

"There's no need!" Jinguang Marquis waved his hand and said, "You're already comprehending the Law very quickly, there's no need to waste time Creation Secret Technique! Besides, while Self-Created Secret Technique in the early stages might offer some advantages, they're not significant. It's better to crush others with absolute Law Comprehension! Moreover, once you enter Chaos City and see those 52 Chaos Tablets, your mastery of the Overlord Spear will improve much more easily!"

Upon hearing Jinguang Marquis's words, Yang Wu immediately recalled the time when Luo Feng first broke through the Heavenly Bridge, and his six golden swords were no Gatekeeper.

Later, Luo Feng comprehended the Nine Universes Chaos Stele and learned how to use the Yan Shen Armament from Chaos Stele. He even used the Fourth Layer the Yan Shen Armament to defeat the gatekeeper who was using the fifth level.

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu exclaimed in sudden realization.

"Yang Wu, you must remember, comprehending the Law is the true path!" Jinguang Marquis solemnly reminded him, "Otherwise, no matter how high your combat power is, if you cannot break through to Immortal, you will ultimately perish!"

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

Although you might not have noticed, I'll mention it anyway: Chapter 159 was mistakenly titled 162. Since VIP chapters can't have their titles changed, I'll just skip it.

Also, this chapter will conflict with the previous plot, so please download it again from 155 and watch it; you don't need to subscribe again.

Most importantly, I've revised the text quite a bit, so please continue to support me. Thank you so much!
