Outside the city, in an underground temporary base.
Ha Luosa had not even entered the stadium.
What truly interested him was neither how much money Lin An had nor how high Universe's market value was.
It was "godhood."
He himself had already reached the Quasi-God tier of a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo.
The Federation divided Ultimate Douluos into three tiers: Quasi-Demigod, Demigod, and Quasi-God.
Ha Luosa stood at the highest tier, Quasi-God.
That was why nuclear bombs could not truly move him.
External things were external things, after all.
Being able to flatten a mountain held no meaning for what he pursued.
But Rainbow Light Verdict was different.
It was the Federation's only existence classified as True God-tier.
"Today, I want to see whether this so-called True God truly lives up to its name."
Ha Luosa watched Lin An on the live broadcast and spoke calmly.
"If Rainbow Light Verdict truly involves divine laws, then today's test will have meaning."
"If it is merely a high-powered soul-guided weapon..."
His voice turned cold.
"Then Universe does not deserve such a status either."
He lifted his wineglass and took a light sip.
His gaze passed through layers of projections and fell upon that exquisitely beautiful young face.
Control her, and he could control Universe.
Control Universe, and he could influence the entire Federation.
Then he could use nuclear weapons to destroy the whole world.
Inside Class One's lounge.
Long Hengxu stood at the door with his back to them, his voice icy.
"I've said all there is to say."
"No one wants you to win."
"Watch yourselves. Don't make things difficult for the academy."
"Lose obediently, put on an exhibition match, take the money, and add another measure of soul master foundation to yourselves."
He paused, and his tone grew heavier.
