Charge!

"Roar--"

As soon as Yang Wu entered the first level of the first Trial Tower, it triggered a mass riot by tens of thousands of ferocious beasts.

With blood-red fur, curved fangs, and scarlet eyes, tens of thousands of Blood-Haired Mammoth madly towards Yang Wu in an instant.

However, these ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoth are actually quite weak. Even a genius at the ninth level of the Domain Realm could probably sweep them away easily.

As Yang Wu's domain continued to be released, only one of the tens of thousands of Blood-Haired Mammoth remained, still possessing a faint aura.

Yang Wu then sat cross-legged, slowly cultivating while waiting for the next simulation.

Ten days later, Yang Wu killed the barely surviving Blood-Haired Mammoth and arrived at the second level of the Trial Tower.

The target this time is ten thousand monstrous 'Nine-headed Python'.

The difference between demonic beasts and ferocious beasts is that demonic beasts are more intelligent and are better at coordinated attacks.

Even though each Nine-headed Python is roughly equal in strength to the first-level Blood-Haired Mammoth, the combined power of ten thousand of them is several times greater than that of the first-level Blood-Haired Mammoth.

Of course, such strength posed no threat to Yang Wu whatsoever.

Therefore, Yang Wu continued to replicate his experiences from the first level.

The battles in the Trial Space are not broadcast to the entire universe; only the changes in the rankings are made public.

Therefore, most citizens of the Ganwu Universe Country went somewhat mad when they saw Yang Wu's extremely low ranking.

They simply couldn't understand Wei He Yang Wu, who had displayed invincible talent in the Cosmic Nation competition, would perform so poorly in the finals.

Of course, those like Jinguang Marquis and Natie, who knew Yang Wu's true strength, had already roughly guessed Yang Wu's purpose.

"Father, do you think Junior Brother Yang Wu can really surpass that terrifying 'Death God' Bolan if he keeps going like this?"

At this moment, Natie was watching Yang Wu's ranking changes together with Jinguang Marquis in the Virtual Universe.

For them, a mere year is utterly insignificant.

"I don't know!" Jinguang Marquis shook his head and said, "That 'Death God' Bolan is an incredible genius. Even if Yang Wu has made great progress this year, Bolan will definitely not stagnate. I can only say that Yang Wu's chances are not high!"

"Of course, Yang Wu has already created too many miracles along the way!"

"I've watched him grow step by step from the Fifth-Level Domain to where he is now! Perhaps, a year from now, a miracle really will happen!"

In the Virtual Universe, in the Central Plaza that once gathered millions of geniuses, Immortal beings from various Cosmic Nation sat casually in different places.

"This guy named Bolan is really ruthless. He rushed to the first place right away!" an Immortal being exclaimed.

"Hmm! The speed at which Bolan's points have increased is astonishing; he has already left the second-place player far behind!"

"Thirteen, Rong Jun from your Ganwu Universe Country is quite impressive, isn't he? He's already ranked the Twelfth in the points rankings!" An Immortal was on good terms with the Scaled Giant Thirteen said with a smile, "By the way, what about Yang Wu, who's even more talented than Rong Jun? I haven't seen his ranking."

These Immortal their teams can easily see the entire rankings, and naturally, the top-ranked geniuses are the focus of their attention.

As soon as this Immortal finished speaking, many other Immortal also began to pay attention to Yang Wu's ranking.

But when they searched carefully, they suddenly discovered—

Surprisingly, Yang Wu's name was not found among the top 100.

The top 1,000, the top 10,000, still none!

Only at the very end did these Immortal beings discover Yang Wu's ranking at the very bottom of the leaderboard, and Yang Wu's score had remained unchanged!

"What is Yang Wu doing?"

Many Immortal beings curiously clicked on Yang Wu's current trial livestream.

In the live stream, Yang Wu was seen sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating, and next to him was the last of the heavily injured Nine-headed Python.

"Thirteen, this genius from your Ganwu Universe Country is quite special. He actually uses the Trial Tower as a place for cultivation?"

"Yes, with his strength, he's probably very confident of reaching second place overall. Does he really think he can reach first place?"

The other Immortal beings laughed.

Even the bald Immortal leading the Noah Universe Country team laughed and said, "Haha, maybe Yang Wu really can make it to first place! Thirteen, how about we make a bet?"

"Go away!" the Scaled Giant Thirteen said irritably. "If we're going to bet, let's bet on whether Bolan can clear all the Trial Tower!"

After the Scaled Giant finished speaking, the bald Immortal figure from the Noah Universe Country was immediately speechless.

Although Bolan is very strong, in their eyes, it is still impossible for Bolan to pass all the Trial Tower.

The others chimed in with jokes, "Yeah, Saifula, let's make a bet with Thirteen!"

For these eternal beings that have existed for countless ages, dignity and honor even surpass life and death.

They were all somewhat displeased that the Noah Universe Country's genius had secured the top spot in the overall universe rankings.

But they also knew in their hearts that among the million geniuses in this year's Genius Battle, there was indeed not a single one who could match Bolan.

Therefore, the only way to defeat them is by clearing the Trial Tower!

Meanwhile, countless people within the Ganwu Universe Country were extremely dissatisfied with Yang Wu's performance.

Throughout the hundreds of millions of star systems in the entire Ganwu Universe Country, countless people believe that Yang Wu is the strongest genius in their Cosmic Nation.

But now, even Rong Jun, who was defeated by Yang Wu, has risen to the Twelfth position in the entire universe, while Yang Wu's ranking is at the bottom among countless geniuses.

How can this be satisfactory?

In an instant, countless people in the Ganwu Universe Country felt immense disappointment in Yang Wu!

Of course, this disappointment only exists among those at the bottom of society.

As for the more discerning and powerful individuals, they could naturally guess that Yang Wu was either concealing his strength or cultivating.

But they also couldn't understand what use a mere year or so could have for Yang Wu.

After all, which of the geniuses who are qualified to break into the top ten of the universe's overall rankings isn't an exceptionally talented individual? Perhaps Yang Wu can surpass countless peers in a year, but that certainly won't include these geniuses!

What's more, there's the even more incredible 'Death God' Bolan looming ahead of everyone!

As for Luo Feng, who was cursed by many people in the Ganwu Universe Country and the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area in the original work, he managed to escape a calamity this time because of Yang Wu.

Because Yang Wu and Luo Feng's rankings were always very close, Yang Wu, who was stronger, naturally became the target of more people's frustration.

Of course, Luo Feng was still cursed by many people in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area.

And so, time passed day by day.

Although Yang Wu's progress was slower, he never stopped.

The seven-story Trial Tower is also the best Trial Grounds prepared by the Virtual Universe Company.

The trial creatures inside are all carefully selected over countless years.

The first level is dominated by the ferocious beast 'Blood-Haired Mammoth';

The second level features a terrifying monster called the 'Nine-headed Python';

The third layer consists of the Metal Lifeform 'Tuoluo Race Warrior';

The fourth layer is inhabited by a strange creature from the universe, the 'Flying Hou';

The fifth layer consists of Mechanical Puppet from the Machine Race, one of the most powerful races in the universe.

The sixth level contains an extremely rare number of Starry Sky Giant Beast, 'Azure';

The seventh level is the true core of one of the most powerful races, the Zerg Race, the Zerg Mother Nest!

Each and every opponent was an extremely difficult character to deal with.

Some of these trial creatures were completely unfamiliar even to Yang Wu.

For example, the Zerg Mother Nest!

Information about the Zerg Mother Nest on the Virtual Universe Network is all restricted and will not be made public.

Even if Yang Wu chooses to fight the Zerg Mother Nest in the Killing Space, the opponent's fighting style probably won't be as flexible as that on the seventh floor of the Trial Tower.

Therefore, ever since the fourth level of the Trial Tower, Yang Wu has been constantly experiencing the fighting styles of these different opponents, gradually improving his own combat skills.

Time continues to flow...

Perhaps at the beginning these trial creatures were of low strength, Star Level geniuses could easily pass through each level.

However, as the difficulty of the Trial Tower increases, more and more geniuses are eliminated.

Thunder God had not yet crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, was eliminated on the first floor of the third Trial Tower, and his final ranking was around 400,000.

Hong, who had entered the Origin Law of Light, was ultimately eliminated on the second floor of the fourth Trial Tower, ranking around 80,000th.

In the blink of an eye, it was July 10, 2071, Earth time.

On this day, during the Trial Tower challenge of the highly anticipated finals of the Universe Peak Genius Tournament.

Yang Wu and Luo Feng, both from the Ganwu Universe Country, rushed into the fourth floor of the fifth Trial Tower.
