Number One in the Universe Country

That day, Xu Qing was summoned into the Virtual Universe again.

"What's up, brother-in-law? Didn't you just finish a chaotic brawl? A one-on-one fight isn't going to start so soon, is it?" Xu Qing asked.

"It's not about the competition, but something I need to tell you. The ruler of the Ganwu Universe Nation just sent someone," Luo Feng shook his head.

Xu Qing asked in surprise, "The ruler of the Ganwu Universe Nation? What does he want with these people? Could they be here to see us?"

"That's right. The envoy said that we will represent the Ganwu Universe Nation to compete against the geniuses of other Universe Country for one thousand spots in the Virtual Universe Company."

"If we succeed, we will join the Virtual Universe Company, Ganwu Universe Nation will bestow rewards upon us. If we fail, we must join the Ganwu Universe Nation and will also gain the qualification to enter the Ganwu Secret Realm for cultivation," Luo Feng explained in general terms.

Xu Qing immediately understood; it meant they were placing an order with a genius.

The Virtual Universe Company is much more powerful. If they successfully infiltrate the Virtual Universe Company, then the Ganwu Universe Nation can only watch helplessly.

If they fail to join the Virtual Universe Company, then the Ganwu Universe Nation will take them in, preventing other forces within the Ganwu Universe Nation from poaching them.

"Then I'd definitely choose to join the Virtual Universe Company. People strive for higher positions; how could I not understand that?" Xu Qing said without hesitation.

Luo Feng nodded. "Yes, but it will be a competition among 1008 Universe Country nations of the Human Race, with each Universe Country sending its top 1000 geniuses. It's bound to be very intense."

"If we divide it up, a single Universe Country wouldn't even have a single full spot, and I wouldn't dare say I'm confident of making it into the top 1,000 in the overall universe rankings."

"Brother-in-law, there's no such thing as splitting the burden equally. Whoever is stronger should go first. There are 1008 Universe Country, and each Universe Country has a thousand people, that's more than 100,000 people. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Genius? I wouldn't find it interesting if it weren't for geniuses. What I like most is having fun with geniuses," Xu Qing said nonchalantly.

Playing happily with a genius? Luo Feng's lips twitched.

"Brother-in-law, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're being way too modest. What do you mean you're not confident? Don't forget you're the man who inherited the Golden Horned Behemoth's talent. Excessive modesty is just arrogance," Xu Qing rolled his eyes.

Luo Feng was speechless. It seemed true; his mindset wouldn't work.

"Okay, brother-in-law, now, repeat after me, I am the strongest, repeat," Xu Qing said to him.

"No need, I already understand," Luo Feng repeatedly refused.

Xu Qing stared at him, "Do you really understand?"

"I really understand now. Don't worry, I won't doubt myself anymore," Luo Feng said earnestly.

"Okay," Xu Qing said with a regretful look, because he had already secretly told Akaro to prepare for the recording.

Seeing the regretful look on his face, Luo Feng broke out in a cold sweat. He had almost forgotten that this kid was prone to playing Mind's Eye on people if he wasn't careful.

"By the way, brother-in-law, I heard that our eldest son is going to find a master to learn martial arts?" Xu Qing thought for a moment and asked.

"To become an apprentice? Hmm, you could say that, but Elder Brother 'm still considering it, since it would take a long time," Luo Feng nodded.

Xu Qing pursed his lips, "What's there to consider? Just go! Isn't having a teacher a good thing? I heard he's a very famous World Lord."

"A true man should roam the world and conquer the stars. If it were me, I would definitely agree without hesitation. This is a great opportunity to become the Universe Ocean."

"Uh... Universe Ocean?" Luo Feng almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Just now, Xu Qing coined another very novel term.

"Xiao Qing, do you want to become that kind of Universe Ocean?" Luo Feng asked him.

"Yeah, is there a problem? Universe Ocean, that sounds pretty impressive," Xu Qing thought.

Luo Feng didn't know what to say.

"Pfft... Hahaha, what a talent... Universe Ocean... I can't take it, I'm dying of laughter," Babata laughed so hard he rolled on the ground.

Akaro was still holding back, too embarrassed to laugh at his Elder Brother's dream.

"Let's talk about that later. Let's get into Virtual Universe Company first," Luo Feng said, ending the conversation.

"Alright, I'll head back now. Oh, and brother-in-law, could you please tell the eldest brother for me that a good man's ambition lies in all corners of the world, and that he can go without worry?" Xu Qing said before disappearing.

Luo Feng's eye twitched; wasn't that last sentence a bit redundant?

However, he understood what Xu Qing meant: to reassure Hong that he could do whatever he wanted.

What Hong lacked was an opportunity, a chance to soar to great heights, and now, that opportunity has arrived.

Two days later, Hong finally made his decision: he would leave with that World Lord and wander the universe to cultivate.

"Boss, you've made the right decision. I'm very pleased. Follow your heart, and a bright future awaits you," Xu Qing said in a mature and sophisticated manner.

Hong glared at him and tapped him on the head. "Stop trying to take advantage of me."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

"Elder Brother, be careful and keep in touch," Thor reluctantly, as his bond with Hong was the deepest among the four.

Hong patted him on the back, "Don't worry, we can meet anytime in the Virtual Universe."

"Elder Brother, I won't say any more. Take care," Luo Feng said.

"You too, take care. I'm looking forward to hearing good news about your joining Virtual Universe Company," Hong said with a smile.

That day, Hong left, following the powerful World Lord lord named Luo to the universe.

The one-on-one ring duel has finally begun.

According to the rules, 10,000 people will fight each other in pairs, and this will continue until the fourth round, at which point 625 people will be left.

The 625 people directly obtained the spots, while the remaining 9,000-plus people participated in Reincarnation Battle to compete for the final 275 spots.

In other words, you can clear the game if you win four consecutive times; otherwise, you'll have to continue the Reincarnation Battle.

The Reincarnation Battle involves one person fighting against over nine thousand others, so it takes a very long time, lasting three years.

"Brother-in-law, you need to get four consecutive wins, otherwise you'll have to go to the Reincarnation Battle, which is a waste of time," Xu Qing said.

"Yes, that's what I think too," Luo Feng said with a confident smile.

"Third brother, out of these ten thousand people, more than five hundred and twenty have stepped into the threshold of the Origin Law. Be careful, if nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely encounter them in the fourth round," Thor warned.

"Second brother, you underestimate your brother-in-law. He's only at the level of stepping into the threshold of the Origin Law. If it were me, I wouldn't be afraid to let these five hundred people come at me together," Xu Qing said, arms crossed.

Thor rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes, Fourth Brother, you're the best, everyone else is a noob."

"Second brother, you can't even flatter properly, it's embarrassing," Xu Qing said with a look of disgust.

"Dream on, you Fourth Brother! You think I'd suck up to you?" Thor glared.

Xu Qing glanced at him sideways, "Others want to take pictures of me but I don't even give them a chance. You really don't know how lucky you are."

"I don't want this blessing, you can give it to someone else," Thor said, scoffing.

"Alright, I'm going on stage now," Luo Feng said, ignoring them.

Luo Feng easily passed the first, second, and third rounds, until the fourth round.

"It's him, it's him, that Savage, who killed me in one move during the elimination rounds!" Thor's eyes widened when he saw Luo Feng's opponent in the fourth round.

Xu Qing looked over. "Is he the Savage?"

He certainly looked like Savage, with messy hair, bare feet, and an exceptionally large physique; Earthling looked like children in his presence.

"I didn't expect that the third brother's opponent in the fourth round would be this guy. This is going to be tough," Thor said seriously.

Xu Qing remained calm, saying, "Don't worry, brother-in-law will definitely win."

Soon, the duel between Luo Feng and the Savage began.

This duel has attracted the attention of countless people because it is a once-in-a-lifetime showdown between two of humanity's top geniuses.

"Savage!" "Madman!"

The audience was packed with people, all chanting the two's nicknames, creating a deafening roar.

"War!"

Luo Feng and the Savage shouted and charged at each other, thus beginning a fierce battle.

"Ninefold Domain, two levels higher than my brother-in-law, the Origin Law of Earth, or rather the Origin Law of the earth, and most likely the Origin Law of Space. My brother-in-law also Origin Law of Gold and the Origin Law of Space."

"With the Yan Shen Armament in hand, the difference between the two realms is nothing. Moreover, my brother-in-law's understanding of the Origin Law is no worse than his opponent's. It all depends on how well the Origin Law of Space are performed," Xu Qing watched the match, as if he had seen through everything.

As expected, that Savage not only comprehended the Origin Law of Earth, but also the Origin Law of Space, which he used as a trump card.

The exposure of the Origin Law of Space shocked even some Immortal Level beings.

"It's not just the Savage, but also Luo Feng; he has also comprehended the Origin Law of Space!"

Luo Feng didn't hold back any longer; facing the powerful opponent, the Savage, he used his trump card.

The emergence of the Origin Law of Space brought this duel to a climax.

"Wow, the third brother has even comprehended the Origin Law of Space!" Thor's eyes widened, then he looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing pointed to himself, "That's right, I was the one who pointed it out."

"Hey bro, give me some pointers too," Thor changed instantly.

"Second brother, your domain is only at the fourth level. You haven't even reached the threshold of comprehending the Origin Law of Thunder. I can't help you with that," Xu Qing said, shrugging.

Moreover, since Thor comprehended the Thunder Dao, he will definitely follow the Time System in the future, not the Space system.

"Oh right, my domain is only at the fourth level," Thor sighed, still far from the Origin Law.

"Second brother, take it slow. Don't worry, we'll have bread, we'll have the Origin Law, we'll have everything," Xu Qing comforted him.

Thor couldn't help but roll his eyes; he'd said that so many times already.

At this point, the duel ended, and Luo Feng emerged victorious.

A roar erupted from the audience, who were all shouting "Madman!"

"He really won! No wonder he's third!" Thor was incredibly excited to see Luo Feng win.

"Alright, brother-in-law won. There's nothing else to do now. Time to go back and cultivate," Xu Qing stretched.

Now, both he and Luo Feng have entered the top 1,000 of the Ganwu Universe Nation. They are just waiting for the Reincarnation Battle to end so that they can represent the Ganwu Universe Nation in the Peak Battle.

There are still three years left, which seems a bit long for Xu Qing.

"The Fourth Brother's relaxed demeanor... who can compare?" Thor exclaimed.

After the one-on-one duels in the arena ended, Luo Feng became Ganwu Universe Nation and was hailed as the number one genius of the Universe Country.

As for those who ranked first in points during the knockout stage, such as Xu Qing, hardly anyone paid attention to them.

After all, the knockout stage is based on points, and even if you come in first place, it doesn't necessarily mean you have the best chance; luck also plays a big part.

One-on-one duels in the ring are a test of absolute skill, with no element of luck whatsoever.

"Tsk tsk, the number one genius of the Ganwu Universe Nation, brother-in-law," Xu Qing teased deliberately.

Luo Feng smiled. "This title should belong to you, Xiao Qing."

"No, please don't! I'm not number one," Xu Qing waved his hand. He realized now that being number one wasn't all that great; you'd miss out on a lot of fun things.

In that case, he might as well not have gotten first place.

From now on, Xu Qing decided to stop competing for first place and instead keep a low profile, instead spending time playing with those geniuses.

"What's this kid up to now?" Luo Feng saw Xu Qing's eyes darting around and knew that he was up to something again.

"Madman," a deep, powerful voice rang out at that moment.

A man as tall as a one-story building walked over, disheveled and barefoot, looking like Savage. His nickname was "Savage," and he was unfortunately defeated by Luo Feng.

His real name is Rong Jun.

"Savage," Luo Feng thought, looking over.

Rong Jun walked up to the two of them, looking down at Luo Feng, "I underestimated you. I didn't expect your understanding of the Origin Law of Space to be no less than mine."

"As expected, there are always people more powerful than you. I lost this time, but I won't do it again next time. I will definitely defeat you."

"I'll be waiting," Luo Feng said with a faint smile.

Xu Qing looked at this ' Savage ' and said, "Oh my, what a big mouth you have! You think you can beat my brother-in-law? Dream on."

"Brother-in-law?" Rong Jun looked at Xu Qing with some surprise.

"This is my brother-in-law, Xu Qing. He's ranked first in District 66, so he doesn't need to participate in the arena battle," Luo Feng introduced.

A strange light flashed in Rong Jun's eyes, "Let's have a friendly spar sometime."

"It depends on my mood. My time is precious. I'm leaving now, bye-bye," Xu Qing said before leaving.

He doesn't usually like to stay in the Virtual Universe Virtual Universe; he rarely enters it unless absolutely necessary.

"Is your brother-in-law any good?" Rong Jun asked.

Luo Feng smiled. "He only talks to people he's willing to talk to."

The implication is that Xu Qing is not currently interested in Rong Jun.

"Interesting," Rong Jun raised an eyebrow. Luo Feng's words clearly indicated that his brother-in-law was probably no ordinary person.

He paused, then added, "I will participate in the Reincarnation Battle for the next three years. I hope you won't disappoint me then."

After saying that, Rong Jun turned and strode away.

"Looks like this guy's pretty resentful," Babata said.

Luo Feng nodded. "Without me, he would probably be the number one genius in the Ganwu Universe Nation, so he would naturally consider me a competitor."

"However, since they have already been defeated by me, they will only see my back from now on."

"That's right, that's how it should be," Babata, satisfied with the answer.
