The twenty-fifth day of the Preliminary Elimination Tournament.
"Yun He's ranking has risen again, rushing into the 28th place!"
"So amazing, Yun He only started exerting himself on the twentieth day. If he had made a move right from the start, his points would definitely be much higher than now, and he might even be able to squeeze into the top ten."
"Right."
"Yun He is too strong, much stronger than the powerhouses in many of the Universe Country's directly administered starfields!"
"He belongs to our Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"
The citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire were extremely excited. Normally, there was rarely this kind of comparison between various starfields; only the Peak Genius Tournament, held twice every ten thousand years, provided such an opportunity.
As a cosmic environment where the martial arts culture was incomparably rich, this Genius Battle represented the level of strength possessed by a starfield.
Producing many geniuses meant that this starfield was strong. Producing few geniuses naturally made people feel inferior to others.
"Luo Feng is also very strong, and is already close to the top 100."
"Nabini is not bad either, currently at a ranking of over 800."
"The two of them are not bad, but they cannot compare with Yun He."
Today, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire already had three powerhouses enter the top 1,001. Especially Yun He and Luo Feng-one close to the top 100, and the other sprinting toward the top ten. In the past, this was unimaginable.
At this moment, citizens from all walks of life in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and even countless people across various starfields in the Ganwu Universe Country, were paying attention.
The three of them had won a tremendous amount of face for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire this time.
Even the emperor of the empire shouted excitedly that the three of them should be heavily rewarded.
Time passed until the thirtieth day of the preliminary tournament, which was also the final day.
Just as this elimination tournament was about to end.
Luo Feng's ranking leaped directly from 102nd to 51st.
And at around the same time.
Yun He's points broke through one hundred million, surging into first place in the 66th World Zone, and he far led the second place by tens of millions of points.
Boom!!!
The entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire instantly fell into complete madness.
The imperial household and ministers of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire went crazy as well.
Countless people shouted the names of Yun He and Luo Feng.
Especially Yun He, who completely sent the people into a frenzy.
What did ranking first in his world zone mean?
It meant that Yun He had already secured a spot among the top 1,000 in the Ganwu Universe Country, and could represent the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and the Ganwu Universe Country to wage the ultimate grand battle against the millions of geniuses from the other 1,007 high-level universe countries across the entire human territory!
Yun He had already obtained the admission ticket to the cosmic grand battle!
Many factions and organizations in the Ganwu Universe Country immediately began to focus their attention on Yun He.
The higher the ranking, the more exaggerated the strength!
Those ranked in the top three of each world zone could all be said to be true super geniuses who had stepped into the threshold of the origin laws.
Those ranked in the top 100 of each world zone basically were also geniuses who had already touched upon the origin laws.
As for the one ranked first, it could basically be affirmed that he had definitely stepped into the threshold of the origin laws and had advanced somewhat further.
As long as such a genius did not fall prematurely in the future, becoming a world lord level-and a powerhouse among world lords-was basically a nailed-down certainty.
There was even a sliver of possibility of becoming a great immortal existence!
"Gather information on Yun He."
"This Yun He was able to rank first in the 66th World Zone, and within a mere ten days at that. His domain is definitely at the seventh or eighth level or above, and he is a super genius who has already stepped into the threshold of the origin laws."
"The Black Dragon Mountain Empire? Such a remote, backwater-like small place actually managed to give birth to this kind of genius?"
"It is quite rare. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire has always been middle-to-lower tier among the numerous vassal countries in our Ganwu Universe Country."
Above the world zone regions of the preliminary tournament.
On a spaceship.
Inside the luxurious hall.
All the ruling classes of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire were assembled here.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, this is a great joy!"
"Your Majesty, it is first place! For our Black Dragon Mountain Empire, this is the first single-digit ranking achieved in history, and it is even first place!"
Inside the entire hall, thousands of people were boiling with excitement.
A three-digit ranking, a two-digit ranking, a single-digit ranking-the honor represented by each was completely different.
For example, there were currently a total of four people selected from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Hong's ranking was 999th.
Nabini's ranking was 860th.
Luo Feng's ranking was 51st.
Yun He's ranking was 1st.
A single glance made it clear to everyone that Hong and Nabini could be considered the very top geniuses of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.
Luo Feng was a top-tier genius who could secure a prominent ranking throughout the entire Ganwu Universe Country.
As for Yun He, he belonged to the most elite super geniuses of the Ganwu Universe Country, and could even rival geniuses from other universe countries.
"First place!"
"Your Majesty, right now across the entire Black Dragon Mountain Island, hundreds of millions of citizens are in a frenzied uproar!"
The emperor seated high above at the very top wore a smile that was hard to conceal, and he laughed heartily as he said, "This preliminary tournament has gone very well for our empire. Judging by the situation, there will be four people selected. Both Hong and Nabini are very outstanding. Luo Feng is exceptionally outstanding! As for Yun He... Hahaha, he is the pride of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"
The emperor's voice was passionate and grew increasingly resonant as he declared, "Yun He has performed a great service! Dispatch people to contact him immediately after the match. He must be rewarded, heavily rewarded!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Screech!
A transparent sword light swept across the void, vanishing at the edge of vision.
"Ugh..."
A robust man nearly three meters tall with a pair of curved ox horns on his head saw the vital spark in his eyes slowly fade as his body crashed heavily to the ground.
Yun He sheathed his longsword and lowered his head to glance at the screen on his arm.
His points were already approaching 150 million.
At this moment, there were just over two hours remaining before the end of the preliminary elimination tournament.
His points were already far in the lead, so no accidents should occur.
Looks like the 1st place is secure now.
Only at this moment did Yun He secretly let out a breath of relief.
In order to avoid having to participate to the arena battles, he had gone all out these past ten days.
Sweeping through city after city, apart from traveling on the road, all other time was spent killing.
No matter who it was, as long as they appeared within his line of sight, he slaughtered them all!
Now that things had reached this point, first place should be completely without suspense.
Exhaling lightly, Yun He flashed and found a room nearby that looked quite clean, stepped inside, sat down cross-legged, and quietly awaited the end of the preliminary tournament.
At the same time, he took advantage of this period to readjust his mindset.
He had killed far too many people these past few days, and his mindset had inevitably undergone some changes.
A strong killing intent emanated from his entire body.
Yun He took a few deep breaths, slowly calming his mind.
In his mind, he also reviewed the bits and pieces of his life since coming to this world.
From the panic and unease when he first arrived in this world.
To when he became a martial artist and the system appeared for the first time, bestowing a dual enhancement of comprehension and physical aptitude.
Then came the planetary level when the system appeared a second time, bestowing a tenfold gene level.
Following that was the star level when the system appeared a third time, bestowing space-time law talent.
All of this had allowed the present Yun He to stand upon an extremely high platform, capable of comparing favorably with the absolute top geniuses among the countless human races in the vast universe.
Even growing stronger than them.
Reviewing the mental journey of walking this path, and then thinking back to the bloody slaughter of these past ten days, Yun He's entire mind felt as though it had undergone a baptism of sublimation.
His inner self had grown much stronger.
His gaze had also grown much more resolute and confident.
Deep within his eyes, a trace of sharpness was hidden.
A person who experienced much would naturally and gradually learn to grow.
