Virtual Universe and Luo Zhiyuan logged into their anonymous accounts and called the Earth. They learned that just like the original work, only Luo Feng and Hong entered the ring, and Thunder God was eliminated early, so they joked:
"Dad, I have already obtained a quota to participate in the Peak Finals stage. You and Uncle Hong have to work hard. Don't be like Uncle Thunder God and be eliminated early. It's so embarrassing, hehe."
On the other end of the communication were Luo Feng, Hong and Thunder God. Hearing Luo Zhiyuan's joking words, Thunder God jumped in shame and anger:
"It's just bad luck that I was targeted by the top player in our virtual world, 'Wild Savage', otherwise I would have hoped to enter the final battle in the ring!"
Luo Feng showed a pleased smile and looked at Thunder God jumping there without saying anything. Hong interrupted Thunder God and said, "Little Zhiyuan, you directly got the quota to participate in the Peak Finals stage? In other words, you are the first in your virtual world?"
Luo Feng and Thunder God were stunned for a moment, and both looked at Luo Zhiyuan.
Just now, one of the two people was only happy, the other was only ashamed and angry, and they didn't notice this. Only when Hong said this did they remember what it meant.
Luo Zhiyuan nodded naturally and said, "That's for sure, that's how the rules are, and I also got a reward and was given a territory in the galaxy. Now I am also a lord, hehe."
Hong pondered for a moment and said to Luo Zhiyuan, "Little Zhiyuan, since you have achieved such a good ranking, your strength must be much higher than ours."
"In this way, the three of us will send you the battle videos we usually practice. You can take a look and evaluate our current strength level. Then we can guide us on what problems we have, so that we can have a certain understanding, so that we can strengthen accordingly in the future."
Luo Zhiyuan was a little panicked when he heard what Hong said, and quickly said, "Uncle Hong, how dare I teach you at such a young age? It's really..."
He raised his hand, interrupted Luo Zhiyuan's words, and said, "There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. Little Zhiyuan, your uncle Thunder God and I have always practiced on our own before. It is inevitable that we will not understand many things, and we will definitely take some detours."
"Now, you are already ahead of us, so if we have any problems, just say it directly without being modest."
Luo Feng also said beside him, "Yes, son, we are taking advantage of you. Your Uncle Hong and Uncle Thunder God and I often communicate together, but after all, our knowledge is limited and we are fans of the authorities. You, a bystander, come and analyze it for us."
Luo Zhiyuan thought for a while and gave them some suggestions. At most, it would only save them a few detours. It would have no impact, so he nodded and asked them to send the video.
Although Luo Zhiyuan has been practicing much longer than Luo Feng and the other three, he still lacks confidence in guiding others, so he decided to let Bulieni analyze with him.
After watching the daily training videos of the three people, Bulieni said, "Let's talk about Thunder God first. He has the worst foundation among the three people. What he should do most now is to deepen his understanding of the field. His current understanding of the field is still far behind."
"Let's talk about Hong. Hong has a good understanding of his field and is very flexible in its application. As long as he can take a step further and reach the threshold of the law, his strength will be improved a lot."
"It is basically impossible for Hong and Thunder God to enter the top one thousand of Universe Country in a short time."
"The last one is Luo Feng. Judging from his performance of Yan Shen Armament, he has already crossed the threshold of Law of Gold. But the little kid who guided him is so poor that Luo Feng can only perform it rigidly now. In terms of flexibility, it is not as good as Hong."
"So what Luo Feng should do now is to broaden his mind and not use Yan Shen Armament rigidly. Luo Feng can barely enter the top one thousand. If he can use it more flexibly, he will make great progress."
Luo Zhiyuan told Bulieni's comments and some of his own analysis to the three of Luo Feng. After listening to them, the three of them looked thoughtful. It is estimated that after fully understanding those words, their strength can be improved.
After exiting Virtual Universe, many visitors came to Luo Zhiyuan's manor, all of whom were heads of various government agencies in the galaxy surrounding the Qingyu Planet class.
They came over to handle some handover procedures with Luo Zhiyuan, and asked about management methods, etc. However, Luo Zhiyuan didn't care about these troublesome things and just entrusted them to manage it. He just waved his hands and took charge.
In the following time, Luo Zhiyuan asked Bulieni to collect some information, which were all the geniuses of this class that he had mentioned in the original book in his memory. He wanted to take a look at their current level in advance and prepare for the future Peak Finals stage.
After a month has passed, 1008 Universe Country have selected some of the geniuses and advanced to the Peak Finals stage. Bulieni has collected a lot of video materials from these geniuses.
There were some that Luo Zhiyuan requested, and some that Bulieni thought could be used as a reference. After summarizing these materials, I spent a day analyzing them carefully in Time Chamber.
There are the most common Martial Artist and Spirit Reader, as well as the rare Pharmacist, beast masters, etc. The various novel fighting methods are very strange, which is an eye-opener for Luo Zhiyuan.
A few days later, Bulieni suddenly said to Luo Zhiyuan, "Boy Luo, our manor is being invaded now. But this time it's not someone coming in, but someone using high-tech means to crack the manor's defense system."
"High-tech means?" Luo Zhiyuan said inexplicably, "Does our manor have any scientific and technological information worthy of others' concern? How could such a thing happen?"
"The methods used by the other party are quite clever. Humph, if it weren't for the fact that I am Intelligent Life and have seen many Machine Race methods, I might have been able to break through the defense line."
Bulieni hummed and said, "Judging from the methods used, Luo boy, you have won the prize!"
"How to say?"
"You are being targeted by Machine Race. This is a method they often use."
"Machine Race, as the most technologically advanced race in the universe, is also one of the hostile races of your species. They will monitor some geniuses among humans and assassinate them at the right time."
"It seems that your participation in Genius Tournament this time was noticed by the spies of Machine Race, so this is their arrangement to monitor you."
Uh...Luo Zhiyuan scratched his face, spread his hands helplessly and said, "No way, genius, it's so eye-catching. We haven't exposed it before, so they don't know my genius' talent. This time, there's no way to hide it. Finally, they discovered my outstanding talent."
Bulieni curled his lips and said, "Okay, don't be a jerk. Being noticed by a foreign race is not a joke."
"The aliens in the universe use all possible methods to assassinate people."
"For example, this Machine Race, if they know your whereabouts and behavior habits, they will control some high-tech weapons and directly kill you. You may not even react before you have been bombarded by Laser Cannon or the laser beam into dregs."
These words made Luo Zhiyuan tremble in fear. Even though he is now Star Level Spirit Reader, he still has no good defense against Laser Cannon or lasers, because these attacks are so fast that even if you notice them, your body will not have time to respond accordingly.
"What can we do? Bulieni, can you deal with these Machine Race methods?"
Bulieni told Luo Zhiyuan not to worry, "For the time being, for a little guy like you Star Level, even if his talent is amazing, it is still unknown whether he can grow into a super strong person."
"So it is unlikely that Machine Race will launch any shockingly powerful attack on you in the near future. That will cause them to lose very important spies, and the loss outweighs the gain by using them on you. But if you perform very well in the future, then maybe."
"So, you should keep a low profile for a while. When you enter the Initial Universe you mentioned and enter the protection range of Virtual Universe Company, you can feel more at ease. After all, the human race also has protective measures for the geniuses of its own race."
Luo Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "You are right, Bulieni. The environment we are in is still not very safe for the time being. I spent this time in the horizontal position and the training room. After all, it is an F5 grade material, which is safer."
"However, when I enter the core disciple level of Virtual Universe, I don't want to be so stubborn anymore."
Bulieni nodded. "That's for sure! If you still want to keep a low profile and bide your time, you will lose a lot of opportunities and resources. Only if you show more edge and let the human race pay more attention to you will we give you more cultivation resources and help you grow quickly."
"In this way, the higher your cultivation level, the higher your authority will be, and you will be able to know more information. Then you can find out what happened to Old Mystic and them back then."
With a determined look in his eyes, Luo Zhiyuan said forcefully, "Yes, only in this way can I have enough strength to explore this vast universe and..."
"Hmph! I'm ready. When the time comes, even if I face assassination from aliens, I will still show my skills!"
After that, for the past four years, Luo Zhiyuan stayed at home and only practiced crazily in his own bed and training room. Even the food he loved, he temporarily abandoned.
Originally, he would ask the store to send some over in a few days, but now, since he knew that he was being targeted by aliens, he cut off all activities with the outside world to prevent being poisoned.
After all, he had seen a lot of Pharmacist's weirdness in those Genius Tournament videos, and also knew how difficult Pharmacist was in the original work, so he completely isolated himself.
But even so, his manor has encountered many invasions.
Once, a group of unknown small insects flew in and bit many of the guards to death. They were all killed by defensive laser beams afterwards.
Another time, a poisonous rain fell out of nowhere, poisoning all the guards patrolling inside and outside the manor. Even the ninth-level guards of Universe Level were not spared.
The most dangerous one comes from space.
There was a Machine Race Spaceship that fired a Laser Cannon, directly destroying the mountain where he lived. If it weren't for the training room with F5-level materials, he might have been killed in one hit. Of course, the ship was then completely destroyed by the planet's defense system.
The lord was successively assassinated, which frightened Qingyu Planet's defense officer. Four officers had already resigned due to the fault. In the end, Luo Zhiyuan tried his best to retain him, so that the fifth defense officer did not also resign.
After all the competition in the arena was completed and all 1,000 places were determined, Luo Zhiyuan received the gathering date notification from Virtual Universe Company.
The day before that, Seventh Elder contacted Luo Zhiyuan again and said meaningfully, "Little guy, your manor has not been peaceful in the past few years. Do you know what is going on?"
Luo Zhiyuan nodded. "It should be the aliens who are targeting me. I remember the teacher said that the aliens will assassinate our human geniuses. He asked me to hide my capabilities and bide my time, and I will only be exposed after Genius Tournament."
"My emergence on Genius Tournament this time should have attracted the attention of the alien race, so they used various means to get rid of me."
"Fortunately, the manor my teacher left me has very good defensive measures, otherwise I might have died several times."
Seventh Elder laughed and said, "Hmph, your teacher still takes good care of you, but this manor alone cannot defend against all means."
"Let me tell you, this time Genius Tournament, several Universe Country geniuses have been successfully assassinated. And here, if I hadn't sent a few guards to help you block several Peak Realm Lord Level Illusionist, you might have been Soul Annihilation or made into Soul Slave."
Luo Zhiyuan showed a shocked expression. "Seventh Elder, you, how could you send me a guard?"
Seventh Elder glanced at Luo Zhiyuan and said, "It's the order from the king. The king is afraid that you will be assassinated and die, so he asked me to take more care of you."
"But this manor of yours is really good. It was able to defend against that Machine Race Spaceship blow, which was beyond my expectation. The power of that blow was already equivalent to an ordinary Immortal Expert attack."
Luo Zhiyuan quickly saluted and thanked, "Thank you Seventh Elder for taking such good care of me. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."
Seventh Elder waved his hand and said, "Okay, I am not saying this to ask you to repay your kindness, but to warn you: you have now become the assassination target of aliens, so you must be more careful in the future."
Luo Zhiyuan saluted again and said solemnly, "Yes, Zhiyuan will definitely keep it in mind and not dare to relax for a moment."
After a hum, Seventh Elder said with a smile, "That's good, tomorrow is the day for you to gather, and I wish you can get the first place in the overall ranking of the universe, haha."
Luo Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Thank you, elder, for your kind words. I will try my best to earn it."
After quitting Virtual Universe, Luo Zhiyuan and Bulieni discussed. "Bulieni, this time Genius Tournament, should I reserve some means to avoid being discovered by the alien race?"
Bulieni thought for a moment and said, "You showed Illusionist's methods and Law of Time's talents last time, so let's use Illusionist's methods to fight first."
"If Soul Secret Technique can't solve it, then show Controller's methods."
"Finally, if the opponent is really difficult to deal with, then it depends on the situation whether to expose Law of Space's methods."
"As for your Innate Secret Technique, don't use it, keep it as your trump card."
