On this day, four figures were drinking in the temporary residence of Huang Wuye within the Meteor Sacred Land; they were none other than Huang Wuye and his two companions, along with Ye Wuhen.
It was no surprise that Ye Wuhen, as a genius under the banner of the Meteor Universe Kingdom, would appear here.
At this moment, four emails arrived simultaneously.
"Boss, we've got mail."
Huang Wuye and the other three received the emails at the same time, each diverting a sliver of consciousness into the Virtual Universe.
Huang Wuye clicked on the email, only to see it was from the Virtual Universe Company.
"Welcome to the selection battle for the 'Universe Human—Universe Level Expert Tournament.'
For this selection battle, over 6.6 billion Universe Level experts have registered within the Meteor Universe Kingdom alone, which is 110 billion more than the previous session..."
"We guarantee that everything regarding the Universe Level expert selection battle will be held under conditions of absolute fairness.
All participants will have identical physical attributes, and you may choose your appearance as you wish!
You may freely select any grade of Force weapons, spiritual weapons..."
"There are over 6.6 billion participants in the Meteor Universe Kingdom.
The Meteor Universe Kingdom division is divided into 'Preliminary Elimination' and 'Arena Finals.'
After passing the preliminary elimination, the 6.6 billion-plus participants will be whittled down to only 100,100 people..."
This was an email detailing the specific competition rules, with several attachments regarding the tournament included.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people. To think the Meteor Universe Kingdom has 6.6 billion Universe Level participants; you have to realize this is the Universe Level, not something the Star Level can compare to.
Even if the other thousand-plus universe kingdoms have fewer, they won't have that much less. It looks like there will be some fun to be had."
After reading the email, Huang Wuye felt a surge of eagerness, as did the other three; they certainly didn't believe they were inferior to anyone else.
The Universe Level expert tournament was a carnival for the entire universe. On this day, countless people were running about, looking forward to this grand event.
In the Meteor Sacred Land, countless Universe Level geniuses were fully prepared and ready to go, and Huang Wuye's group of four was among them.
"Your Highness, these ten little ones are the top ten from our Sacred Land. I hope you can look after them a bit."
Marquis Fire Spirit led ten Universe Level geniuses, each radiating the fluctuations of various Laws, to the front and introduced them to Huang Wuye.
Huang Wuye nodded. These ten youths at the Universe Level were quite decent, and since they were his own direct subordinates, he could look after them if the opportunity arose.
At this time, Huang Hu and the others also gathered around. Huang Hu was the same as ever, never without his wine, and he spoke in a muffled voice.
"This preliminary round, just like the genius tournament, is divided into one hundred world zones. I'm in the Sixth World Zone. How about you guys?"
"Although it's also divided into one hundred world zones, these world zones are a hundred times larger than those of the Star Level genius tournament, and the planetary gravity is over a thousand times higher. Otherwise, how could they withstand the battles of so many Universe Level experts?"
"I'm in the Nineteenth World Zone," said Huang Xue.
"I'm in the Thirty-Second World Zone."
"I'm in the Eighty-Third World Zone. It seems we've all been separated. That's fine; let's just strive to take first place so we don't waste time in the arena battles."
Huang Wuye looked around; they had all been separated, but with their strength, they would have no trouble within the Meteor Universe Kingdom.
They all entered the Virtual Universe. As he arrived, Huang Wuye suddenly felt as if he had come to a strange place, and a voice echoed in his ears.
"Attention everyone: this preliminary elimination will be divided into one hundred 'World Zones.' Collective teleportation to your assigned 'World Zones' will begin immediately.
Please hurry and check your equipment. Once the preliminaries begin, you will no longer be able to request weapons."
Huang Wuye checked himself: a white robe and a long silver spear.
"Hmm, not bad. This will do."
"10, 9... 3, 2, 1."
As the countdown ended, the scene shifted, and Huang Wuye arrived in a vast, white world.
Looking out, there were glaciers for a thousand miles and snow drifting for ten thousand; a biting chill struck him, actually bringing a hint of cold to his senses.
"It seems this weather is also a major obstacle. It really is different from the Star Level."
Feeling his currently frail body, Huang Wuye was slightly surprised, but that was all.
Just as Huang Wuye was enjoying the snowy scenery he had only ever seen in books, a sudden attack struck him.
It was a man clad in dark green battle armor. The battle blade in his hand radiated a piercing chill, and his figure was like a dream-like bubble, attacking Huang Wuye in total silence.
Yet, strangely, when his figure touched Huang Wuye, his entire body shattered like foam and vanished instantly, like a mere phantom.
"A buzzkill. Forget it, I'd better get to work."
Huang Wuye sighed, losing interest instantly, and checked his score: one.
As for how the man in the dark green armor died, it was due to a newly mastered secret technique from Huang Wuye's Spear Canon: Void Shadow Dream.
In an instant, Huang Wuye had shifted rapidly in the air and thrust his spear countless times; before the man in the dark green armor could even react, he had already been slain.
Having made his decision, Huang Wuye did not linger, executing Horizon at Hand to vanish from the spot.
A white shadow drifted across the snow, barely perceptible, with only a streak of crimson light left as a trace of his passing.
And so, a phantom appeared in this world of snow, weaving through the cracks of reality. Every time he paused, another figure would dissipate into nothingness.
As the frequency of these encounters increased, a piece of news began to spread: there was a supreme powerhouse in the 83rd World Area known as Phantom.
He was like a ghost, claiming lives in total silence, and as time passed, his reputation gradually grew.
Those lacking in strength fled this region in droves, while some confident geniuses flocked here, eager to witness the edge of this prodigy.
After all, geniuses are always confident.
Of course, there were also some geniuses who planned to accumulate enough points before heading over.
On this day, Huang Wuye encountered an interesting opponent.
This was a member of the Long-Arm Race, and his weapon was the renowned God-Deriving Weapon.
Upon first meeting this genius, Huang Wuye recognized the weapon and did not kill him immediately.
After all, he had long heard of the reputation of the God-Deriving Weapon, and he wanted to witness its power for himself.
"Phantom, you are strong, but I am stronger. Now, let me see how many of my moves you can withstand."
However, the Long-Arm man Yutu clearly misunderstood; he smiled confidently and then attacked, manipulating the God-Deriving Weapon.
Nine small golden blades traced an arcane trajectory as they struck toward Huang Wuye.
Huang Wuye instantly lost interest; this man's God-Deriving Weapon was not even as impressive as Huang Hu's, and at this moment, it appeared extremely lackluster.
With a flick of his long spear, a flash of red light shattered the incoming God-Deriving Weapon, and the remaining momentum carried away the stunned Long-Arm man.
"Hmm, it seems I won't be encountering any interesting opponents for the time being. In that case, I shall test my Origin Laws of Metal."
Having made his decision, Huang Wuye resolved to hone his Origin Laws of Metal and integrate them into his Spear Canon.
Over these years, his comprehension of the Origin Laws of Metal had progressed rapidly under the guidance of his Night Emperor clone, but his main body had not yet had the chance to integrate them into the Spear Canon.
Now, with so many opponents available, they would serve perfectly as targets to refine his spear technique.
