The Reincarnation Battle ended

After the Arena Competition ended, there was a three-day break.

Three days later, the Reincarnation Battle would begin and last a full three years.

A great deal happened during those three years. Hong followed Time World Lord Luo on a journey through the universe.

With Old Man Mist's help, Lei steadily grew stronger.

Luo Feng changed the most. He could now execute the Sky Piercing Style perfectly, reflecting his deeper comprehension of the Law of Gold. His strength had increased severalfold.

Moreover, faint phantom images flickered around Luo Feng whenever he twisted and dodged.

Clearly, Luo Feng was not far from crossing the threshold of the Space Law.

As for Chen Ao, apart from borrowing some money for internet fees from Luo Feng midway through, he remained as inactive as ever.

"Ugh, the Virtual Universe charges way too much."

Simply wandering around the Virtual Universe was fine, but Chen Ao needed the Battle Space, which cost a considerable number of Universe Coins every day.

He did not have a single cent, so naturally, he could only borrow money.

Going out to explore was absolutely out of the question, both now and in the future.

It was too dangerous.

If not for the limited lifespan before attaining immortality, he would have planned to die of old age on Earth.

"Senior, it's been three years. Three whole years!"

Luo Feng sounded rather helpless.

"Why am I still unable to cross the threshold of the Space Law?"

"Don't rush, don't rush. You're the Child of Fortune. You'll definitely manage it!"

Luo Feng's face darkened. Could he stop bringing that up?

"Senior, please give me some guidance!"

Babata could simulate all sorts of environments and find him all sorts of opponents, but could not help him comprehend laws.

At this point, Luo Feng did not know any powerful experts either. Chen Ao seemed to be the only person he could rely on.

"Didn't you say you were nurturing a Mosha Clan clone? Once your clone is born, you'll be able to comprehend it!"

Chen Ao could not teach him either. His own comprehension of the Space Law depended entirely on his Q skill.

Hadn't he failed to comprehend even a single one of the Eight Lower Laws?

Granted, that was partly because Chen Ao had no desire to comprehend them, but it at least showed that he was not some prodigy who understood laws as easily as drinking water.

Of course, that was under normal circumstances.

Once he entered a meditative state, everything changed instantly, and his comprehension received an astonishing boost.

Seeing this, Luo Feng could only leave helplessly.

March 2, 2069, by the Huaxia Calendar, was the final day of the Reincarnation Battle. In an elegant reception room inside a towering building on a floating island above the Ganwu Continent in the Virtual Universe.

An old man in plain white robes stood there, bowing slightly to the Blade Marquis.

Beside him stood a formidable man in golden armor. Golden scales covered his face, and a slightly curved golden horn, shaped like a scimitar, protruded from his forehead. His entire being resembled a golden war blade capable of cleaving heaven and earth. Even in the Virtual Universe, the pressure contained within his consciousness was enough to shatter the consciousness of a Universe Level expert.

"This is the Luo Feng you mentioned?" The man in golden armor watched the screen, which was broadcasting a duel about to begin.

"Yes. Today is the final day of the Reincarnation Battle, and this should be the most exciting match of the day," the old man in plain white robes said with a smile.

"Oh? By introducing him to me, are you suggesting this little fellow has what it takes to contend for a place in the universe's top ten, or even first place?" the man in golden armor asked.

"Blade Marquis, you'll understand once you watch," the white-robed old man said. On the screen, Luo Feng, dressed in dark gray battle gear with a dark golden staff on his back, instantly clashed with a short youth wielding two war blades.

Boom!

The short youth surged forward like lightning, reaching Luo Feng in an instant. With a whoosh, however, the cold-faced Luo Feng rode his Dark Cloud Shuttle, golden currents swirling around it, and turned into a streak of golden light as he easily dodged aside.

"Go!"

Boom!

A Golden Illusion Sword appeared in midair. Amid the spreading golden currents, its speed soared as it blasted toward the short youth.

The short youth growled, green currents erupting from his body. He wielded both war blades, seemingly transforming into a towering wave to meet the golden sword streak.

Slash! The approaching golden sword streak suddenly traced an almost perfect E-shaped path, skimming the edge of his opponent's war blade and slicing his head clean off.

Luo Feng won!

Inside the reception room.

"What do you think?" the old man in plain white robes asked with a smile.

"Mm! Excellent. Truly excellent." The man in golden armor nodded repeatedly.

"This boy has already grasped the essence of a Mental Master Controller. He rides the Dark Cloud Shuttle, a Fifth-Order Psionic Weapon, with such effortless precision. His bursts of speed when dodging are incredibly fast, and he makes them look easy."

"He incorporates his comprehension of the Origin of Gold law into the Yan Shen Armament, producing attacks of utmost force and power."

"Ordinarily, one can barely change its direction, yet he easily makes the Yan Shen Armament trace a complex E-shaped path over an extremely short distance. He has already mastered its second stage, the Sky Piercing Style. His fundamentals are excellent."

"I know why you wanted me to watch this footage," the man in golden armor said with a sigh.

"I'm truly surprised. When he fought Rong Jun, he clearly struggled to fly and dodge. His control was crude, and he relied entirely on psionic force to wrench himself in different directions."

"But in the live Reincarnation Battle broadcast just now, his control of the Dark Cloud Shuttle was already flawless. His control of the Yan Shen Armament has improved remarkably as well. His law comprehension must have advanced considerably."

"By the way, how long has your Qianwu Universe Country's internal selection Reincarnation Battle lasted?" the man in golden armor asked.

"Less than three years," the white-robed old man replied.

"Less than three years?" The man in golden armor could not help asking, "Was Luo Feng hiding his strength when he fought Rong Jun?"

"No! Across his 9,374 Reincarnation Battle matches, his progress has been clear, match by match," the white-robed old man said emotionally. "Before the Reincarnation Battle, he was at most on par with Rong Jun. Yet in less than three years, he has already surpassed even Rong Jun!"

The man in golden armor grinned. "If he keeps improving, he might have a chance of reaching the top ten when the many geniuses from all 1,008 Universe Countries face off at the summit. But first place is absolutely impossible!"

After all, Bolan's comprehension of the Space Law surpassed that of the vast majority of World Lords. Hailed as a genius who appeared only once in tens of thousands of eras, someone like him was virtually invincible at the Star Level!

While the two immortal beings from the Ganwu Secret Realm and the Virtual Universe Company discussed Luo Feng... Luo Feng arrived at the preparation hall of Martial Arena No. 00001.

Inside the preparation hall.

"He's Luo Feng"...

"This Luo Feng... how did he improve so quickly?"...

"The teachers in the secret realm all say... Luo Feng can now rank first among our Universe Country's geniuses, or even Number One in the Universe!"

When the short-haired young man in dark gray battle gear appeared in the preparation hall, a wave of hushed discussion immediately arose. Over the nearly three years of the Reincarnation Battle, Luo Feng's astonishing rate of improvement had drawn the attention of many powerful experts.

"Madman!" a deep, powerful voice rang out.

Luo Feng turned to look. It was the Savage, Rong Jun, who stood nearly a story tall. His hair was still a tangled mess, and his large feet were bare.

"Savage!" Luo Feng called back.

"Haha, your progress over these three years has been incredible. You really haven't slacked off at all!" Rong Jun said with a laugh.

"With you ahead of me, how could I dare slack off?"

"Everyone! Enter the Martial Arena!"...

An organizer from the Virtual Universe Company called out, and the 1,000 talented experts immediately followed the passage into the Martial Arena.

There were no spectators in the Martial Arena that day.

The 1,000 peerless geniuses from the various galaxies of the Qianwu Universe Country stood there, looking at a giant before them!

The giant standing before the Universe Country's finest thousand geniuses was over eight meters tall. Savage Rong Jun looked like a small child beside him... The giant wore scaled battle robes and a helmet, and his entire body radiated a bloody aura. His eyes... seemed like the gaze of a death god enveloping the assembled geniuses.

They held their breath.

Beads of sweat formed on the foreheads of all 1,000 geniuses.

Even in the Virtual Universe... his consciousness alone is this terrifying?

Chen Ao could not stop his body from tensing either, and cold sweat naturally appeared on his forehead. Under this pressure, breaking into a cold sweat was already a reflexive response.

Sure enough, there are plenty of powerful experts. I'm not worth a damn!

"Congratulations!"

An icy voice echoed through the Martial Arena...

"You thousand are the finest chosen through our Qianwu Universe Country's selection process. All of you are qualified to represent our Universe Country and compete against the geniuses of the many other Universe Countries! However... this summit showdown will be far more difficult than your previous battles!"

"There are 1,008 Universe Countries, and some of them... have territories even vaster than our Qianwu Universe Country, with far more galaxies."

"Since each Universe Country's circumstances differ, their internal selection schedules also vary."

"Therefore."

"The summit showdown between the geniuses of all cosmic humans... will not truly begin until a year and a half from now. This year and a half is your opportunity to improve!"

Having finished speaking, the giant left immediately.

The other geniuses also departed one after another.

Only Rong Jun kept staring in the direction Chen Ao had left.

Luo Feng knew Rong Jun had an obsession with Chen Ao, so he spoke up:

"Rong Jun, Senior doesn't like fighting. But once we reach the finals, you'll definitely have a chance to face him!"

"Mm!"

Rong Jun nodded.

Over these three years, he had hoped Luo Feng could arrange another match between him and Chen Ao. But Chen Ao refused to pay him any attention and even called him crazy.

He actually refuses to admit he's the Sword God. How infuriating! But we'll definitely meet in the finals. I've improved a great deal over these three years too. I won't necessarily lose to you again!
