End of the Genius Battle

"Oh? Which of your disciples is participating in this Genius Battle?" Nine Swords Venerable asked with some interest, sitting opposite Su Heng.

"Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, these three," Su Heng replied softly as he sat down.

"Three?" Nine Swords Venerable was very surprised.

He had thought Su Heng had merely chanced upon a prodigy and taken them in. He hadn't expected him to take in three disciples at once!

Luo Feng, he seemed to have heard that name before.

Very quickly, Nine Swords Venerable found information about him from his memory. Luo Feng, a genius from the first world zone of Gan Wu Universe Kingdom. On the surface, he used the law of gold origin, and his comprehension was quite profound, reaching the level of the top twenty in the entire universe.

This level, which was about the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, shouldn't warrant a King-level Invincible taking him as a disciple.

However, after a moment's thought, Nine Swords Venerable understood that Luo Feng's strength was likely far beyond that.

As for Hong and Lei Shen, with Nine Swords Venerable's discerning eye, he couldn't tell what potential they possessed.

"Then I wish your disciples fame through this event. It's getting late, and I need to gather these 'geniuses' for a meeting," Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile as he stood up.

With that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Su Heng merely smiled slightly and didn't try to stop Nine Swords Venerable.

His purpose for meeting Nine Swords Venerable had been achieved.

The Universe Peak Genius Battle commenced as scheduled the following day.

All participants entered the Trial Tower.

Time passed, day by day.

Due to Su Heng's special reminder, Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng spent the maximum ten days on each floor before proceeding to the next.

More than a year passed in the blink of an eye.

In the virtual universe, on the central plaza.

For Immortals with eternal life, spending a year here was a casual matter, and it was difficult for them to abandon their posts at such gatherings.

Thus, the 1008 great Immortals were discussing.

"Thirteen, four people from your Gan Wu Universe Kingdom have already ranked in the top one thousand! And they even have a chance to reach the top spot!" an Immortal said enviously to the scaled giant beside him.

Rong Jun was currently ranked 13th, but he had already died in the Trial Tower; this was his final score.

Luo Feng was currently challenging the sixth Trial Tower and was ranked second!

Second only to Bolan!

And Bolan had already fallen on the first floor of the seventh Trial Tower, while Luo Feng still had hope!

Hong had died on the seventh floor of the fifth Trial Tower, ranking 17th!

Lei Shen had died on the first floor of the fifth Trial Tower, ranking 490th!

"Hahaha!" The scaled giant, Thirteen, laughed heartily, overjoyed at this moment!

With such achievements, the rewards from the national lord upon his return would surely not be small!

"I just don't know if Luo Feng can pass the sixth Trial Tower," Thirteen mused inwardly.

Meanwhile, on the seventh floor of the sixth Trial Tower, Luo Feng looked at the Insect Race mother nest before him, hesitating.

Should he end it here?

According to his teacher, if he performed too brilliantly, he was very likely to be assassinated by other races.

Second place was already enough for him to advance to the next round!

"Forget it, no matter what, I can't disgrace my teacher. I'm determined to take first place!" Luo Feng muttered, then countless golden lights erupted as he charged towards the approaching Insect Race!

The seventh Trial Tower, after becoming first, Luo Feng deliberately slowed down his power and ended the trial in a state of error.

Outside the plaza, a figure in a white robe watched the changes on the large leaderboard, his fists clenching slightly!

"Luo Feng, is it? This first place will be mine, Bolan's!"

As the 'God of Death' of Noah Universe Kingdom, Bolan was incredibly arrogant!

The Trial Tower concluded, eliminating nearly a million geniuses from across the universe.

Except for the top one hundred in the trial, who directly became core members of the Virtual Universe Company, the remaining 7200 geniuses would proceed to the next round of selection.

Lei Shen was among them!

The 7200 geniuses would engage in two-on-two duels for three rounds!

Lei Shen had good luck in the first round; his opponent was merely a genius taught by an ordinary Immortal. With the enhancement of various secret techniques, Lei Shen advanced to the next round without any effort.

In the second round, his opponent became much stronger, a tricky genius proficient in domains!

However, Lei Shen ultimately emerged victorious.

In the third round, Lei Shen used all his means to defeat his opponent, and his ranking was set at 523rd!

Thus, he entered the tail end of the four great secret realms, the Doomsday Secret Realm!

In fact, Lei Shen's own talent was quite good, coupled with his extremely strong willpower. In just ten years, he had achieved his current strength.

Unfortunately, his opponents were all geniuses meticulously cultivated from across the universe, and they had all been cultivating for at least decades, even centuries!

If they had cultivated for a bit longer, Lei Shen would also have had a chance to enter the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, or even the Primal Secret Realm!

With all one thousand spots selected, the next step was the specific secret realm assignments for the top two hundred!

This Genius Battle had two spots for the Primal Secret Realm!

As expected, the first place in this Genius Battle was Luo Feng! And the second place was naturally the highly renowned Bolan.

These two secured the two spots for the Primal Secret Realm.

Hong took one of the spots for the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, while Opatra, who was in the original work, unfortunately entered the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

The Genius Battle concluded, and Nine Swords Venerable left the space after giving some final instructions.

The Immortal beings also departed one after another.

As for these geniuses, they still needed to fill out some standard paperwork and go through some procedures.

After Luo Feng and the other two filled in their accommodation details, Su Heng transmitted a message summoning the three to a location.

"The Genius Battle is over. From now on, you will enter the Initial Universe for your respective races to cultivate. Your teacher also has things to attend to. In the future, you will have to strive for yourselves!

However, if you encounter any issues, you can find me in the Virtual Universe, as I am still your teacher."

Su Heng said softly upon seeing the three.

His purpose in cultivating Luo Feng and the other two had now ended. In fact, he had only become Luo Feng's teacher for his own benefit.

As for Hong and Lei Shen, they were good enough to be considered true disciples, given their excellent temperaments, comprehension, and other talents.

"Yes, Teacher." Although the three couldn't help but feel a little reluctant about Su Heng's departure, they understood that this was the norm in the universe.

Su Heng had accompanied them for ten years, which was already a long time!

"Go on," Su Heng said with a smile, and then his figure faded, leaving the Virtual Universe.

The Genius Battle storyline has concluded. The subsequent events are not greatly related to Luo Feng, but Hong and Lei Shen will have further plotlines. Another chapter will be released later.
