Qianshui's extraordinary journey
While the Qualification Battle Core Member in Universe Level Virtual Universe Company was underway, the Four Great Secret Realms did not begin simultaneously.
Among them, the Qualification Battle among nearly 10,000 Core Member of the Universe Level in the Endless Secret Realm started first, followed by the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm with more than 300 people, and then the Taichu Secret Realm and the Primal Secret Region with even fewer people.
Therefore, during the qualification battle of the Taichu Secret Realm Qualification Battle, the core geniuses of other realms can also watch the battle via video broadcast to observe the strength of their respective competitors.
After the Qualification Battle began, many members of the Taichu Secret Realm were immediately teleported to their first opponents.
38 geniuses, 19 battles, all taking place simultaneously.
"Boom!"
Qian Shui only felt a spatial shift before being teleported to a white dwarf star with extremely strong gravity.
Once she regained consciousness, she immediately saw a figure dressed in a silver-gray battle robe hovering in mid-air not far away.
This was Qian Shui's first opponent, Ninan, one of the five great masters of the Taichu Secret Realm.
These five experts, like Luo Feng, have already passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge and have the opportunity to challenge the Primal Secret Region.
Ninan is not the strongest among the five masters, but he is the most cunning. Among the many elders in the Taichu Secret Realm, many people regard him as their leader.
Of course, Ninan's strength far surpasses that of Qianshui.
For some reason, he did not take action immediately after seeing Qianshui, but waited for her to regain consciousness.
"Ninan!" Qianshui looked at the other person and greeted him softly.
"A thousand waters!"
Ninan smiled and said, "You go first!"
"Okay!" Qian Shui nodded.
Of the two, Qian Shui is Spiritual Master, while Ninan is a martial artist.
Logically speaking, when a martial artist encounters Spiritual Master, they should take the initiative to engage in close combat. However, Ninan chose to let Qian Shui, who is Spiritual Master, make the first move.
Qian Shui didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After all, Ninan's strength far surpasses hers, and once he makes the first move, she will have no ability to resist.
"Drink!"
Qianshui rode a flying Telepathic Weapon, creating a significant distance between herself and Ninan, before unleashing her strongest attack.
She knew she was no match for Ninan, but she wouldn't give up easily.
"Well done!" Ninan exclaimed, then stomped his foot hard on the ground, using the powerful recoil and his own speed to force Qian Shui towards him.
Boom!
With a single slash, Ninan knocked Qianshui's Telepathic Weapon away.
"The gap is just too big!" Qian Shui sighed inwardly.
She had only made it to the Heavenly Bridge, while Ninan had already made it to the seventh level.
A moment later, to Qian Shui's surprise, the battle was still not over.
Because Ninan's power was greatly weakened after he cleaved her Telepathic Weapon away with a single strike, she easily blocked his close-range attacks.
"Hmm?" Qian Shui asked, somewhat puzzled.
Given Ninan's strength, she shouldn't be able to stop him at all.
"The second cut!"
Ninan ignored Qianshui's doubts and instead drew his sword again, attacking Qianshui with a different sword technique.
Immediately afterwards, Ninan knocked Qianshui's Telepathic Weapon away again, and then began to use the third move of his sword technique.
Qian Shui, on the other hand, was constantly working to gather her Telepathic Weapon to defend against Ninan's attacks.
From initial doubt to later delight.
"This Ninan is actually giving me pointers?"
After repeatedly blocking Ninan's attacks, Qianshui finally understood what had happened.
The swordsmanship that Ninan displayed was consistently as powerful as hers.
This wasn't a battle; it was practically instructing her.
Just like finding the most suitable opponent in the Killing Field of Virtual Universe, guiding Qianshui through mutual combat.
Although Qian Shui didn't know the reason, she was diligently absorbing combat experience.
While a suitable opponent can be simulated in the Virtual Universe, Core Layer genius like Ninan will also have exceptionally outstanding abilities.
In this way, Ninan used all of his sword techniques before stopping.
Although Qian Shui was somewhat unsatisfied, she also wanted to know why Ninan had given her guidance, so she stopped as well.
The two of them were suspended in mid-air.
"Qian Shui!" Ninan smiled and said, "Your combat awareness and talent are astonishing. If you cultivate for another thousand years, you'll probably be able to pass the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge!"
"However, I still need to rush into the Primal Secret Region, so I can't let you win!"
Qian Shui was slightly startled.
Not only did he give her pointers, but he was also so polite?
What Ninan just said was basically saying that if he didn't attempt to conquer the Primal Secret Region, he would lose to her?
What... what's going on?
There shouldn't be any relationship between her and Ninan!
No, this is an illusion, it must be an illusion cast by Ninan!
Ninan is a martial artist; even if he also practices illusion magic, it shouldn't be able to affect her, a Spiritual Master.
"Ninan, what's wrong with you...?" Qian Shui asked, puzzled.
"Haha..." Ninan's gaze drifted, and he said with a smile, "Your Highness Yang Wu has already passed the Twelfth level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge at the Universe Level. Such talent is truly beyond the reach of others!"
Although nearly ten years had passed since Yang Wu broke through the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge, Ninan still couldn't help but feel shocked when he talked about it.
It should be noted that Ninan is considered one of the most outstanding geniuses among the human race's Universe Level geniuses.
Before Yang Wu rose to prominence, the only person in the Virtual Universe Company who was absolutely stronger than him was Fito, who had passed the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge. As for the others, their strength was not much different from his.
But what about Yang Wu?
Despite being a complete newcomer who had never even participated in the Qualification Battle, he managed to pass the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
He would never have believed such a terrifying thing if countless people hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes!
Ninan's words seemed irrelevant and nonsensical, but Qian Shui already understood his meaning.
"Yang Wu!" Qian Shui couldn't help but think of the figure that had always appeared in her mind.
When she and Yang Wu were together in Chaos City, she knew that the gap between Yang Wu would widen over time.
Little did I know, that was just the beginning!
While the rest of them were still at the bottom of the Taichu Secret Realm, Yang Wu had already far surpassed the Domain Lord Level members of the Primal Secret Region in terms of his Law Comprehension.
This rate of progress... it's terrifyingly fast!
"If I hadn't ended up with Yang Wu back then, I'm probably already calling him His Highness Yang Wu along with everyone else!" Qian Shui sighed inwardly.
As Yang Wu's wife, Qian Shui was equally happy and honored by the glory he had achieved.
But she never expected that this honor would have such a great impact on a genius like Ninan, even leading him to carefully guide her during the Qualification Battle.
"It's about time. The others should be done fighting by now," Ninan said with a smile. "Let's finish ours too!"
Qian Shui nodded in agreement.
After Qian Shui reacted, Ninan immediately unleashed an even more astonishing speed, instantly rushing in front of her and then slashing out with his sword, ending the battle in an instant.
Time marches on, and battles continue among the members of the Taichu Secret Realm.
And Qian Shui, too, began her wondrous journey.
Day 2 of the Taichu Secret Realm Qualification Battle.
In the Virtual Universe, at Yuxiang Mountain, in a manor in the Taichu Region.
Movisca, a Universe Level genius with purple eyes, was sitting in his study reflecting on his battle.
"These newcomers are insane!" Movisca exclaimed inwardly. "Luo Feng, who passed the seventh level, is one thing, but even Rong Jun, who just passed the sixth level not long ago, is stronger than me!"
Although Movisca's strength is not comparable to the five top experts, he is still strong enough to rank among the top fifteen among all the elders in the Taichu Secret Realm.
However, in the very last battle, he was once again defeated by a newcomer.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!" Movisca thought to himself, "This time I must stay in the Taichu Secret Realm and go see the battles of my other old rivals!"
With a thought, a screen immediately appeared in front of Movisca, showing a battle between his old rival, 'Moyilin'.
"Moyilin's lucky! She's met another newcomer today. She can finally relax a bit..."
Movisca suddenly froze.
Because in the video, Moyilin was actually defeated by that newcomer!
"Another one?"
"Are... are this year's new recruits really this abnormal?"
Movisca was utterly speechless at this point.
"Hmm? Something's not right! Moyilin seems to be much weaker than before!" Movisca opened another video of Moyilin's battle.
As expected, Moyilin displayed completely different strengths in the two battles.
"What's going on? The newcomer who defeated Moyilin should be Qian Shui from August Planet, right? Could it be that she's special?"
Thinking of this, Movisca quickly clicked on Qianshui's other battle videos.
But upon seeing this, he was even more shocked.
Because, in these battle videos, even those experts who had passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge were extremely polite when fighting Qian Shui.
Although they ultimately defeated Qian Shui, they also provided him with some pointers.
"What exactly is going on? Is there something I don't know about?"
With this in mind, Movisca immediately left the study and went directly to the manors of some geniuses with whom he had made friends to gather information.
Soon, the third day arrived.
And Qian Shui's wondrous journey has finally come to an end.
In these three days, according to the rules of the Qualification Battle, Qian Shui and the other 37 geniuses from the Taichu Secret Realm all fought a battle.
Of these 37 battles, Qian Shui's greatest gain was from the fights against the six experts from the Taichu Secret Realm who had passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, including Luo Feng.
Although Qian Shui was undoubtedly defeated by these six people, whether it was the crazy 'werewolf' Krofu, the hot-tempered Yanpoluo Race genius Sajin & Fire Dragon, or the incredibly mysterious apothecary Yu Feng...
When these people fought with Qian Shui, they all politely gave her some pointers, which greatly benefited her.
Even Luo Feng, because of his friendship with Yang Wu and Qian Shui, sparred with Qian Shui during their battle.
To be precise, Luo Feng maintained excellent manners throughout his Genius Battle of his generation, and was not influenced by Yang Wu.
After all, Luo Feng's Heart of the Strong remained unwavering.
Among the eight new members of the Taichu Secret Realm, apart from Luo Feng had passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge and Rong Jun had passed the sixth level, Qian Shui was the strongest.
Therefore, Qianshui unsurprisingly won all five battles.
However, the results of the other 25 battles were completely unexpected for Qian Shui.
The remaining 25 elders of the Taichu Secret Realm, though varying in strength, all of them managed to pass the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Regardless of their strength, all the geniuses who knew about the relationship between Yang Wu and Qian Shui chose to hold back during the battle, deliberately losing to Qian Shui.
Those with the strongest abilities, even if defeated by Qian Shui, can still remain in the Taichu Secret Realm.
Even if the weaker ones defeat Qian Shui, they will still have to compete with the geniuses of the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Secret Realm for a spot in the Taichu Secret Realm.
Therefore, they all chose to hold back during the battle, thus forging a good relationship with Yang Wu through Qian Shui.
As for geniuses like Movisca who were unaware of the relationship between Qian Shui and Yang Wu, they all chose to lose to Qian Shui unless they encountered him in the very first few battles.
After all, the battle in the Taichu Region had lasted for three days, and these people would also be watching other people's battles.
These people weren't fools either. After witnessing the battle between Qian Shui and the other geniuses, even without knowing the reason, they would still have a herd mentality.
It's worth noting that even the five top experts treated Qian Shui with such courtesy, so they naturally knew how to make the right choice.
Only a few geniuses whose strength was around the twentieth place in the Taichu Secret Realm were on the verge of elimination and unwilling to compete with the experts of the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. That's why they went all out in their battle with Qian Shui, trying to break into the top twenty of the Taichu Secret Realm.
After all 37 battles were over, Qian Shui surprised everyone by winning 26 of them, ranking the Twelfth among the Universe Level geniuses in the Taichu Secret Realm and successfully staying in the Taichu Secret Realm.
Qian Shui successfully remained in the Taichu Secret Realm, but she wasn't overly happy.
On the contrary, because the other geniuses were letting him win, Qian Shui felt a little guilty, fearing that he might bring some negative impact to Yang Wu.
Not long after the Qualification Battle ended, a young man with mysterious green markings on his face arrived at Qian Shui's manor in the Taichu Region.
"Brother!" Qian Shui greeted him quickly.
But it was her brother, Jiang Mo, who arrived.
"Qian Shui!" Jiang Mo looked at Qian Shui and asked with a smile, "I really didn't expect you to be able to achieve 26 victories. How does it feel to successfully stay in the Taichu Secret Realm this time?"
Qian Shui glanced at Jiang Mo and said guiltily, "Brother, you're still making fun of me. I'm worried about you now."
"What are you worried about?" Jiang Mo asked, puzzled.
"Of course, I'm worried that if others deliberately lose to me, it will affect Yang Wu!"
Qian Shui whispered, "Those old men are all stronger than me, but they deliberately lost to me in the fight!"
Hearing his sister's concern for Yang Wu, Jiang Mo felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
In the past, Jiang Mo he could receive such treatment!
However, Yang Wu has been with Qian Shui for a long time, and Jiang Mo has long since accepted Yang Wu.
"It's alright!" Jiang Mo said with a smile, "They deliberately lost to you, it's not like you forced them!"
"If you're really worried, go ask Yang Wu and see what he has to say?"
"Yes!" Qian Shui said with a smile, "I'll go ask Yang Wu!"
After saying that, without waiting for her brother Jiang Mo leave, Qian Shui disappeared directly from her manor.
