Ten Million to Cure a "Serious Injury"
Cultivation Room.
After finishing his own reward trip, Tang Ping connected to the Virtual Universe and sent a message to each of his three wives who were in seclusion, urging them to focus on their breakthroughs and strive to enter the Immortal Realm as soon as possible.
After doing all this, he sat down cross-legged, ready to continue his immersive practice.
His progress is now astonishingly rapid. He can swim freely in the Law Ocean of the Origin of the Universe every moment, touching the essence of the world. That feeling of penetrating the truth and being unrestrained is akin to great freedom and ease, which makes him increasingly fascinated.
However, he had only been meditating for a short time when the special reminder he had set earlier interrupted his practice. The "Universe Human Peak Genius Tournament," jointly organized by the Giant Axe Dojo and all the Universe Country, had officially opened for registration.
Tang Ping's eyes lit up.
Back then, Earth Lord Luo Feng rose to fame in this Genius Tournament, moving from the edge of interstellar space to the center of the universe and joining the ranks of humanity's elite. This once-in-a-millennium grand event was exceptionally lively.
As a pure- Huaxia, he had no reason to miss out on such a lively and exciting event.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, his consciousness had already connected to the Virtual Universe.
In the night sky above Black Dragon Mountain Island, an endless black banner appeared, its edges shimmering with brilliant light. The white characters on the banner shone brightly, each word imbued with cosmic power. "Universe Human Peak Genius Tournament."
Once in a million years!
"It's about to begin!"
"Held jointly by the Giant Axe Dojo and all the Universe Country!"
At the very bottom of the list, a line of numbers was rapidly increasing: 1948593889. Within seconds, it surged to 2008299173, with the Universal Language next to it reading: "Number of Applicants from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom".
Just then, Liu Hui sent a message saying that Tang An and his two little friends had enthusiastically signed up.
Tang Ping couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of the three children.
They have indeed entered the Universe Origin Laws, having cultivated for nearly one or two thousand years, and their secret techniques and moves have been honed to a high degree, making them among the best of their generation. However, this Genius Tournament may allow them to witness true prodigies: such as those monsters who have entered the Superior Origin Law at the Star Rank.
Hopefully, these three little ones won't be too badly hurt.
A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled.
Father's love is as steadfast as a mountain!
Time passed amidst the eager anticipation of countless galaxies' inhabitants, and the registration phase for the Peak Genius Tournament officially ended, marking the start of the competition. The number of participants from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom reached a staggering 892.5 billion. The first round was divided into two main stages: "Preliminary Elimination" and "Arena Showdown."
The preliminary rounds alone reduced the pool of 822.5 billion participants to just 100,100, demonstrating the extreme brutality of the competition.
The so-called preliminary rounds are actually a frenzied, bloody melee. More than 8.2 billion people are thrown into the same world, and only those who kill their opponents and gain points, ranking in the top 1,000, can advance to the second round of the arena.
To facilitate viewing this grand event, the Luo Family specially booked a giant island in the Virtual Universe, suspended above countless World Zone. All officially registered citizens of the Milky Way Galaxy can enter for free, and the island offers unlimited fine wine and food.
Tang Ping naturally wouldn't be polite if he had the chance to get something for free.
With a thought, he was teleported to the island. A quick glance revealed Luo Kedi and Liu Hui, who were boasting and spitting as they spoke in the crowd.
The two of them also noticed him and were about to go up and greet him.
Luo Kedi's gaze, however, first fell on the Silver Hourglass mark between Tang Ping's brows. The well-informed man's pupils contracted sharply, and he gasped, momentarily forgetting to speak.
Damn, it's open?
Liu Hui had no such scruples, and of course, he was quite ignorant. He strode forward and, without saying a word, punched Tang Ping in the chest. He then clutched his chest, his face turning deathly pale, looking as if he were on the verge of death.
"You lazy bum, you've finally deigned to show up! Get me medical attention! Last time your son and daughter were surrounded by a gang of interstellar bandits, but luckily, I risked my life, using my mere Domain Lord Ninth Rank cultivation to fight against three first-level Universe Level supreme experts, and I'm still seriously injured!"
Tang Ping was speechless. With a flick of his finger, he transferred a sum of money directly.
[Ding! Ten million Ganwu Coin have been deposited into your account!]
As soon as the crisp notification sound faded, Liu Hui's eyes lit up instantly. He straightened his back, his weakness vanished, and he exclaimed, "I'm cured! Tang Ping, your medical skills are absolutely top-notch in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom!"
Luo Kedi finally came to his senses and, seeing this, quickly joined in, gazing longingly at Tang Ping with eyes that said, "I want some too."
Tang Ping chuckled and shook his head, then casually sent Luo Kedi a link to a message: it was a request for help from a Huo Wu Race girl. The message read, "Father is ill, mother is gambling, younger brother is cultivating, urgently needing assistance." The accompanying picture showed a girl with a captivating face, as well as fiery red fox ears and a tail, making her quite distinctive.
Luo Kedi clicked on the link and was immediately invigorated. His previous frustration vanished, and he gave a thumbs up. "A miracle doctor!"
Tang Ping's lips curled into a smirk.
Not long after, the preliminary rounds of the Peak Genius Tournament officially began.
This year's competition in the Milky Way Galaxy has attracted tens of thousands of participants, the vast majority of whom have intricate connections with the Luo Family.
This is not hard to understand. As the ruling family of the Milky Way Galaxy, the Luo Family has long controlled all aspects of resources in the galaxy, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Ordinary cultivators who want to stand out can hardly do without the support of the Luo Family, otherwise they will find it impossible to make any progress.
Tang Ping, Luo Kedi, and Liu Hui found a spot with a great view. The table was filled with steaming hot pot, sizzling barbecue, and ice-cold beer.
The three of them ate heartily while watching the virtual screen with great interest, paying close attention to the performance of the three little ones, Tang An, Tang Yiyi, and Tang Guo.
The atmosphere in the stadium was Extreme Point enthusiastic.
Whenever a contestant from the Milky Way Galaxy defeats an opponent, the entire arena erupts in thunderous cheers, and everyone's face is filled with pride and excitement; but once someone is tragically eliminated, a chorus of sighs of regret rises from the surrounding crowd, and emotions rise and fall accordingly.
The barbecue and beer on the table were consumed continuously, and the battle on the screen became increasingly fierce.
As time went by, contestants were eliminated one by one, until finally, only three contestants remained in the Milky Way Galaxy: Tang An, Tang Yiyi, and Luo Rulong from the Luo Family.
As for Tang Guo, this little guy, relying on his early mastery of the Laws of Origin, was incredibly arrogant from the start, directly challenging everyone in the arena, acting as if no one could defeat him. However, he was not proud for long before he was ambushed by an opponent who cultivated the Lightning Law, and without even a chance to react, he was eliminated directly.
In contrast Tang An and Tang Yiyi have mastered Tang Ping's fighting essence: quick, accurate, and ruthless. If they miss their target, they never linger in the fight and immediately flee thousands of miles away, their whereabouts unpredictable.
Many opponents died without ever figuring out their attack trajectory, losing their lives in a daze.
At that moment, Tang Guo, who had been eliminated, was nestled in Tang Ping, wiping away tears with a pitiful expression, and desperately seeking comfort.
Tang Ping, being a dutiful father, naturally started laughing hysterically, "Hahahahh~"
Tang Guo was so angry that her eyes widened immediately, her bright red ears perked up, and she gritted her teeth, wanting to retort, but she was too choked up by her grievances to speak. In the end, it was Huo Wu's mother, who had rushed over after hearing the news, who gently comforted her for a while before the little girl's emotions gradually calmed down.
Afterwards, Tang Guo clung to Tang Ping's arm and wouldn't let go, saying that she hadn't seen her father in a long time and wanted to get close to him.
Huo Wu:?
It has to be his biological father!
