'Unremarkable' Yang Wu
With the Chaos City Leader's ability to Control of Space-Time, he could naturally tell the ages of these thousand geniuses at a glance.
The youngest among them was Luo Feng.
However, the other geniuses weren't that old either; the oldest was only a few hundred years old.
Especially among the top-ranked geniuses in the Genius Battle, none of them are over a hundred years old.
Perhaps, before the Genius Battle begins, there will be older Star Level 'geniuses' who emerge, but after several years of preliminary selection, these people will naturally be surpassed by the true geniuses. This is precisely why the Genius Battle has taken so long.
Yang Wu's age is considered very young among these thousand-plus geniuses.
However, this was not surprising to the Chaos City Leader; he had even seen younger, peerless geniuses.
Of course, Yang Wu's Law Comprehension is among the best of these geniuses.
However, this still did not attract much attention from the Chaos City Leader. After all, over the long years, the Chaos City Leader had even seen many geniuses who were able to pass through the seven trial towers during the Genius Battle.
However, in his eyes at this moment, Yang Wu's talent was far too ordinary!
Even among any generation of geniuses, he would be considered quite ordinary.
However, Yang Wu's understanding of the Law was incredibly astonishing.
"Could it be that this little fellow has reached such a level solely through his own comprehension?" The Chaos City Leader found it hard to believe.
His knowledge was incredibly broad, and he saw through all of Yang Wu's secrets at a glance.
He was over forty years old, and had only used one extremely ordinary Domain Lord Level Bloodline Potion.
If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. But when combined with Yang Wu's performance in the Genius Battle and the background information about Yang Wu uncovered by the Virtual Universe Company, it becomes truly astounding.
They can cultivate in an environment created by taking Marquis Level Immortal as their master and by World Lord like the Flame Mountain.
Such a matter was utterly insignificant to the Chaos City Leader.
It is fair to say that even a peerless genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs, if he only had the same opportunities as Yang Wu, would probably not be able to achieve the same Law Comprehension of the Yang Wu at such a young age!
In the vast universe, treasures and opportunities that enhance one's Law Comprehension are precious, but they are still plentiful.
For example, comprehending sacred objects like the Chaos Stele, the Hollow Fruit that Bolan once consumed, the Golden Horned Beast that Luo Feng Possession, and some powerful bloodline talents...
All sorts of treasures and opportunities can greatly increase the speed at which one comprehends the Law.
"If this kid really achieved what he has through his own comprehension, then that's truly amazing!"
"Even if Kedi was stronger than this kid at the same age, Kedi's opportunities far surpassed his!"
Even the Chaos City Leader couldn't help but marvel at this moment.
Given the same talent and external conditions, some people can comprehend the Law in ten years, while others need a hundred years, and some cannot comprehend them in a lifetime. This is the difference in one's own comprehension!
If one's natural talent is lacking, one can improve it by paying a price, such as by Possession or by fusing and absorbing various precious treasures.
External conditions can also be created continuously, such as comprehending the Chaos Stele, receiving guidance from powerful individuals, or being guided by various precious secret techniques, etc.
However, the improvement of comprehension cannot be achieved through external forces!
"Good, good, good." The Chaos City Leader was overjoyed. Given his status, he certainly understood what such strong comprehension meant.
Moreover, once Yang Wu obtains precious secret techniques, the Chaos True Spirit, or even opportunities from various secret realm missions, his cultivation speed will likely be much faster than it is now.
By then, Yang Wu's cultivation speed will have increased significantly, and it wouldn't be surprising if he surpassed Kedi and the others!
The Chaos City Leader must take this potential genius very seriously, no matter how you look at it.
However, the Chaos City Leader himself was not overly excited.
"The universe is vast and boundless. Perhaps this little fellow possesses an opportunity that I cannot discover! Let's wait and see what he can achieve in these thirty years in Chaos City!"
The Chaos City Leader stared at Yang Wu for a long time before finally looking away.
The spacetime he controlled around him gradually disappeared.
The bald man looked at the teacher in front of him, quite surprised.
Because, incredibly, the Chaos City Leader in front of him actually had a smile on his face!
"Teacher?" the bald man asked softly.
"I've examined them, and there's nothing unusual about any of them! However, a few interesting youngsters have emerged in this year's Genius Battle; they're exceptionally talented and should be nurtured!"
The Chaos City Leader calmly ordered, "Gui Yi, you may leave."
"Yes, teacher," the bald man Venerable Gui Yi, said respectfully.
Boom!
In a flash, the figure of Venerable Gui Yi vanished from the ruins littered with corpses and reappeared in front of the quiet courtyard.
The Venerable Gui Yi recalled his teacher's words and couldn't help but look puzzled.
"An interesting little guy? Very talented?"
Venerable Gui Yi thought to himself, "It seems that this time, the Nine Swords will have a few decent helpers!"
However, Venerable Gui Yi didn't think too much about it. For him, knowing that all these geniuses were normal was enough to complete his mission!
Meanwhile, the Nine Sword Venerable, who had sent Yang Wu and other geniuses to the Initial Universe, did not leave. Instead, he went to a very large but rather simple mansion in a remote area of Chaos City.
The gates of this mansion were as black as ink.
"Haha, it's rare to have a good friend come to visit!"
Just as the Nine Sword Venerable appeared at the entrance of the mansion, accompanied by a burst of laughter, the pitch-black gate opened automatically, and a three-eyed old man dressed in a linen robe walked out.
"It's been a long time, so I've come to see you!" the Nine Sword Venerable said with a smile.
The two walked side by side into the living room. The three-eyed old man smiled and poured a glass of fruit wine for Nine Sword Venerable, saying, "Nine Swords, you were the one who brought some little ones over just now, weren't you? What brings you to linger in Chaos City? Are you perhaps planning to take on disciples?"
Generally speaking, the Nine Sword Venerable only needs to send these geniuses to the Initial Universe; there is absolutely no need for them to stay behind.
Although a hundred years is nothing to the Venerable, there's no need to waste it on some little fellows.
"Haha! This year's Genius Battle has produced two rather promising youngsters, one of whom has a very solid foundation. I do indeed intend to take him on as a disciple," the Nine Sword Venerable said with a smile. "However, the final outcome will depend on which Chaos Stele he chooses!"
"Oh? I wonder what kind of genius could possibly inspire you, Nine Swords, to consider taking me as a disciple!"
The three-eyed old man immediately became interested. With a thought, a lot of information about this year's Genius Battle appeared in his mind.
He has lived for far too long, and the Genius Battle, which usually takes place once every five thousand years, cannot attract his attention at all. Therefore, he is unaware of the news about this year's Genius Battle.
However, given the three-eyed old man's rapid thinking, he quickly grasped all the information about the geniuses and then asked, "These two youngsters are indeed quite good. Which one have you taken a fancy to?"
"Of course it's Yang Wu!" the Nine Sword Venerable said directly. "Although Bolan's spatial talent is quite good, he actually wants to study the two Upper Law of space and time at the same time. He's really too arrogant!"
"Yes! This little guy is distracted by studying the Law of Wind, clearly intending to use Law of Wind as a springboard to switch to studying the Law of Time!"
The three-eyed old man sighed, "A jack of all trades is a master of none. How difficult it is to simultaneously master time and space! Even you and I can't do it, let alone this little fellow!"
"That kid Yang Wu is much more reliable! I watched his battle videos, and he's already grasped the essence of the Law of Space. If he chooses the right Chaos Stele, you might have another powerful Immortal under your command in the future. If you nurture him properly, he might even have a sliver of hope of becoming Space Venerable!"
"Nine Swords, you're in luck this time!"
"Haha, I just happened to take on a company assignment!" Nine Sword Venerable said with a smile. "However, Kandeli, if that little guy named Bolan really chooses the Universe Chaos Stele later, you should still try to persuade him against it!"
"Don't worry!" the three-eyed old man said calmly, "This is my duty. However, I think that Bolan is an extremely proud young man. I'm afraid he won't change his mind unless he suffers a little loss!"
"Indeed, these little guys haven't suffered any losses yet, so naturally they won't easily change their minds!" Nine Sword Venerable couldn't help but sigh.
