The Intention to Take a Disciple

Inside a huge room in Building 0825.

Yang Wu and the other five were listening to the instructions given by the Scaled Giant Thirteen.

"Tomorrow's final Qualification Battle will depend on your performance."

"Understood!" Yang Wu and the other six replied in unison.

"Alright, you three go first. Yang Wu, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun, stay behind," said the Scaled Giant Thirteen.

Immediately, the other three youths who had rushed into the top 7300 of the Trial Tower respectfully left, leaving only Yang Wu and his two companions in the room.

The Scaled Giant Thirteen's gaze fell on Yang Wu and his two companions, and he nodded, saying, "You three performed very well! The Fifteenth place, third place, and first place—you look incredibly impressive!"

Suddenly--

The Scaled Giant's voice instantly turned cold. "However, I hope you won't get complacent because of this small achievement! This ranking in the Trial Tower means absolutely nothing..."

"Let me tell you, of the top ten in this Trial Tower, only Yang Wu and Bolan are martial artists; the rest are all Mental Master Controller!"

The Scaled Giant's words surprised both Luo Feng and Rong Jun.

Yang Wu, however, had anticipated this.

Many of the opponents in this Trial Tower are soulless Mechanical Puppet.

If the challengers have the same Law Comprehension, it is naturally most advantageous for those Mental Master Controllers, followed by martial artists, while it is most disadvantageous for Illusionist.

The Scaled Giant Thirteen said softly, "That genius of the Howling God Race, 'Phantom Demon' Galesi! Many of us Immortal believe his strength is among the top ten, yet his ranking in the Trial Tower is only 190th!"

"The geniuses who can break into the top twenty in the Trial Tower are naturally incredibly powerful, but that doesn't mean that those geniuses ranked below twentieth are much weaker!"

"Therefore, the three of you must not be careless in the slightest during the upcoming battle! Otherwise, you might become someone else's stepping stone."

Yang Wu and the other two listened obediently.

"Of course! The results in the Trial Tower also reflect strength to some extent."

"Based on our observations of your battles from the perspective of many Immortal... Luo Feng is qualified to rank in the top ten, Rong Jun is qualified to rank in the top twenty! However, the difference in strength among you is not too great. We also need to consider the counterplay between your fighting styles and methods. To determine the final ranking, you will have to fight for it yourselves!"

Luo Feng and Rong Jun listened obediently without saying a word.

"And you, Yang Wu," the Scaled Giant's voice softened considerably as he chuckled, "While you are very strong, Bolan is not without threat!"

"He has comprehended the two Origin Law of space and wind, which has made his speed even more incredible. Although his Trial Tower score is slightly lower than yours, you must be extremely careful in a true one-on-one duel!"

The Scaled Giant Thirteen solemnly said, "The first place position is crucial to the allocation of spots in the 'Primal Secret Region,' so you must work hard!"

"I understand," Yang Wu said, bowing.

Although the Virtual Universe Company has already allocated two slots for the Primal Secret Region Realm, Yang Wu is determined to secure the first place!

In the Virtual Universe, on Thunder Island, inside the temple of the Nine Sword Venerable.

The Nine Sword Venerable, dressed in a blue battle robe and with his head covered in purple scales, sat on a majestic divine throne.

"Your Venerable, the selection process for this year's Genius Battle within the Trial Tower space has concluded, and the final Arena Decisive Battle will take place tomorrow!" A stunningly beautiful woman with flowing purple hair, clad in azure armor, said respectfully.

"Understood, I will appear tomorrow!" the Nine Sword Venerable said calmly.

As Venerable, although he was assigned by the company to host this year's Genius Battle, he didn't care too much about it. He simply instructed his subordinates to keep an eye on things and call him when the time came.

The stunningly beautiful woman respectfully said, "Your Venerable, in this year's Genius Battle, two exceptional geniuses have reached the Seventh Trial Tower."

"Oh? Two people?" The Nine Sword Venerable asked with slight surprise, "Besides that genius from the Noah Universe Country, there's another person who has made it to the Seventh Trial Tower?"

It's worth noting that when the Nine Sword Venerable was in the Genius Battle, he had only just reached the Seventh Trial Tower!

It's bad enough that one genius like this appeared in this year's class, but now another one has emerged?

"Yes!" the stunningly beautiful woman replied respectfully, "Yang Wu, a genius from the Ganwu Universe Country, has also made it to the Seventh Trial Tower!"

"Yang Wu?"

Nine Sword Venerable's heart stirred, and Yang Wu's battle video instantly appeared before his eyes.

"Not bad." After watching Yang Wu's video, the Nine Sword Venerable's eyes lit up, and he praised, "This young fellow has a solid foundation, a calm temperament, and has also grasped the essence of the Origin Law of Space. He should achieve something in the future! Not bad! Not bad!"

Upon hearing the Nine Sword Venerable's repeated praises, the beautiful woman quickly said, "Since Venerable thinks this little fellow is quite good, why not just take him as a disciple? Perhaps it will become a legendary tale in the future!"

"Hahaha!" The Nine Sword Venerable laughed and said, "I do indeed have this intention! However, it depends on his choice after arriving in Chaos City. Only when he chooses Chaos Stele that suits him can I decide whether to accept him as a disciple!"

The next morning.

7,300 exceptional geniuses, including Yang Wu, gathered in the Central Plaza, quietly awaiting the start of the arena duel.

Sudden--

An invisible aura enveloped the entire Central Plaza, causing all the geniuses present to involuntarily submit.

Everyone quickly looked up and saw that familiar figure appear in mid-air.

Although everyone had only seen this person once, they could never forget him!

He wore a seemingly ordinary but actually profound blue battle robe, his head was covered in purple scales, and he had a faint smile on his face. However, when his eyes swept over him, no one dared to meet his gaze.

"Venerable!"

Thousands of powerful Immortal beings simultaneously bowed and greeted them respectfully.

"The Trial Tower elimination process is over. Congratulations to the participants ranked 1st to 100th! You have earned the qualification to enter the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company!"

The Man in Cyan Robe spoke in a faint voice, echoing in everyone's minds. "Now, if anyone is unwilling to join, they can speak up. My Virtual Universe Company will never force anyone."

For a moment, the square fell silent!

No one spoke!

"Good." The Man in Cyan Robe nodded in satisfaction before continuing, "Those ranked 101st to 7300th, these 7200 trial participants, have had their respective arena battles arranged by the Virtual Universe System based on your performance in the Trial Tower. Those who win three consecutive matches will receive a spot, while those who lose will be eliminated."

With 7200 people, half can be eliminated in a single battle, and after three consecutive battles, only 900 people will remain.

These words aroused doubt among many of the geniuses and elites below.

"Winning three consecutive battles to secure a spot? If two strong fighters meet, isn't one of them guaranteed to be eliminated?"

Countless geniuses began to discuss it.

"The arrangement of the Virtual Universe System is absolutely optimal, without a doubt!" the Man in Cyan Robe said slowly. "Now, 7200 trial participants, go and engage in arena battles!"

"Boom!"

With a wave of his hand, the Man in Cyan Robe caused the Central Plaza to tremble slightly, and a large number of geniuses were teleported away, leaving only the top 100 geniuses of the Trial Tower behind.

"There are seats over there, you can watch the live stream there first," the Man in Cyan Robe said, pointing to a spot not far away.

Suddenly, a hundred large chairs and some tables appeared in a corner of the Central Plaza, with drinks and food on the tables.

The Man in Cyan Robe sat in one place with over a thousand other great Immortal beings.

All the geniuses sat down.

Yang Wu, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun all came from the Ganwu Universe Country, so they naturally sat together.

Soon, 3,600 giant screens appeared around the Central Plaza, each broadcasting a battle that was about to begin.

On three thousand six hundred screens, the battle began almost simultaneously!

The winners advance, the losers are eliminated; everything is incredibly cruel.

One after another, the most brilliant and talented geniuses fell, and in less than five minutes, the first round of battles was over, with all 3,600 participants eliminated.

Half an hour later, the second round of elimination began.

Of the 3,600 geniuses, half have fallen again, while the other half continue onward.

In half an hour, the third round of elimination will begin.

These final 1800 exceptional geniuses were all incredibly eager; they were just one step away from ultimate success...

However, only one person can enter the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company from each arena; the other must be eliminated.

Among these more than 7,000 geniuses, there are not many who deserve attention.

But there was one person who was the focus of everyone's attention!

That was a live stream of a battle between the Howling God Race member, "Phantom Demon" Galesi.

"We won."

"His victory was too easy!"

After watching Galesi's battle, countless geniuses frowned deeply.

Because in all three battles, in the first and second matches, Illusion Demon Galexi stood there without moving, and her opponent fell instantly.

In the third battle... Galesi's opponent barely managed to withstand the first Soul Attack, but fell again the second time.

"This Phantom Demon is terrifying." 'Savage' Rong Jun said solemnly in a low voice.

"Hmm!" Luo Feng, his eyes also glued to the screen, said, "Simple Soul Attack aren't usually too scary, but when combined with 'illusion techniques,' they become much more terrifying! Illusion techniques can trap people in a dreamlike state without them even realizing it. These terrifying Illusionist are the natural enemies of martial artists!"

"Hmm." Rong Jun nodded slightly.

Yang Wu sat down beside the two, but didn't pay much attention to 'Phantom Demon' Galesi.

Back in the Simulator, Yang Wu Law Comprehension was inferior to his opponent's, yet he still managed to break through the opponent's illusionary attack; how much more so now?

Even Hong and Thunder God in their current state could probably withstand Galesi's illusion!

If Illusionist are the natural enemies of martial artists, then Earthling with strong Heart Cultivation are the natural enemies of Illusionist.
