Inside a large fish-shaped spacecraft, King Longyu, dressed in jade armor, reported to Nine Swords Venerable. "My lord, of the 1,000 geniuses in this Genius Tournament, 184 have already fallen..."
Before she could finish, a burst of overwhelming pressure cut her off. Nine Swords Venerable's face darkened with anger. "Hmph! Even in the safest place, Chaos City, nearly one-fifth of them have been eliminated. I'm extremely disappointed!"
King Longyu hurriedly bowed and said softly, "Please calm your anger, my lord. Although the death rate is a little high, this Genius Tournament has also seen an unusually large number of talented individuals emerge."
"Of course, the most outstanding among them is Zhiyuan. He's already passed the twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge, far ahead of everyone else."
"But the others have performed quite well too. Currently, Bolan ranks second, having passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Ai Chen ranks third, having passed the fifth, and Luo Feng ranks fourth, having passed the fourth. Another five have passed the third level."
Only then did Nine Swords Venerable's anger subside. He nodded. "Well, in that case, they haven't done too badly."
King Longyu continued, "In the 1,000 Genius Tournaments held by our Virtual Universe Company, 4,168 people passed the third level of the Heavenly Bridge within thirty years of their first arrival in Chaos City."
"926 people passed the fourth level."
"32 people passed the fifth level."
"No one has ever passed the sixth level!"
"On average, fewer than five people pass the third level in each tournament, and only about one passes the fourth."
"On average, only one genius passes the fifth level every thirty tournaments."
"My lord, I believe Bolan, Ai Chen, and Luo Feng are all promising talents. Bolan in particular—you might consider taking him as a disciple."
