Luo Yuan knew there were quite a few bases like the one he was in throughout this independent universe, but he did not know exactly how many. The differences in rank between bases also meant that the geniuses gathered there differed in strength and talent. Naturally, the higher a base's rank, the fewer exceptional geniuses it housed.
There were actually not many geniuses in Luo Yuan's current base. He did not know how long he had cultivated there, but through observation, he had found that there were fewer than a thousand geniuses here. As for his assessment of his own strength, he felt he had at least reached the Universe Controller-level.
By rights, then, he should not have been placed in a relatively low-ranking base like this. Luo Yuan had come to this conclusion because, while cultivating here, he had met some of the gifted experts stationed at the base for the long term. Their strength and corresponding innate abilities, however, fell far short of his.
That was why Luo Yuan felt this base must be low-ranking, probably a place for nurturing Hunyuan-level experts. To a universe with a Level Five Civilization, it could only count as a training ground for basic soldiers. For that reason, even the strongest geniuses here would not exceed the peak God King level. These people clearly came from different places, however, and their combat methods were highly distinctive.
When Luo Yuan had previously participated in the Genius Battle, the geniuses there had mostly come from territories controlled by the Luo Tian Church, a Super Faction. The geniuses in this base, on the other hand, had clearly been sent from territories controlled by different factions, so their combat methods were more varied than those of the geniuses Luo Yuan had encountered before.
This was good
