Chapter 100 A Mighty Rider Ahead of the Crowd
As time went by, the Ranking Assessment Battle among these Universe Level geniuses within the Heavenly Star Holy Land soon began.
Because there are many Universe Level geniuses, numbering in the thousands, it would be an extreme waste of time if each of them were to fight against every other Universe Level genius.
Therefore, the Heavenly Star Holy Land adopted a more efficient assessment method: first, participants would challenge the Trial Tower, and then engage in battles based on their rankings.
All Universe Level geniuses must first pass through the Trial Tower to establish a basic ranking, and then geniuses with similar rankings will compete against each other.
For example, the top two hundred geniuses in the Trial Tower would compete against each other to determine the final ranking;
The geniuses ranked 201st to 400th in the Trial Tower will compete against each other to determine the final rankings from 201st to 400th.
This process continues until the final ranking is determined.
This group-based battle format ensures accurate rankings while significantly saving time.
The geniuses in each group are of similar strength, making their battles more intense and exciting, which greatly helps them improve their own combat skills.
If a genius ranked 1,000 were to fight against a genius ranked in the top 10, he would gain nothing but a crushing defeat, and might even suffer a blow to his self-confidence.
And so, the Trial Tower challenge began quickly.
For Lu Qingshan, breaking into the top two hundred in the Trial Tower was naturally no problem at all.
Therefore, after the Trial Tower was completed, Lu Qingshan ranked fourth. The three people ahead of him were all mentalists, which gave them a great advantage in the Trial Tower.
Of course, this is also why Lu Qingshan did not use the Fourth Layer form of the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff. Otherwise, with the power of the Fourth Layer form of the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff, it would have been an easy task for him to reach the top of the Trial Tower.
After determining their approximate rankings by passing through the Trial Tower, these top two hundred geniuses quickly began to compete against each other.
The Virtual Universe System will randomly match opponents and arrange battles based on their rankings.
In the first battle, Lu Qingshan encountered the genius who had previously ranked eighty-first.
Although that genius was quite strong, he was still far behind Lu Qingshan. Lu Qingshan didn't even need to activate the secret runes engraved on the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff; he defeated his opponent solely by relying on his movement techniques and basic staff skills.
Second Match----Third Match----
Time continued to pass, and the battle raged on one battlefield.
Lu Qingshan encountered all sorts of opponents, but with his strength, he easily won them all.
Two hours later, in the 91st battle, Lu Qingshan encountered Shangguan Yue had ranked nineteenth last time.
Shangguan Yue is extremely famous among the Holy Land Universe. Her progress is astonishing, while Lu Qingshan has even greater strength. Now that the two have met, it naturally attracts the attention of countless people.
"Boom!"
Lu Qingshan felt that the space and time around him were changing, and the scene in front of him was completely transformed in an instant.
The square, the crowds, and the buildings at the gathering point have all disappeared, replaced by a desolate desert.
This desert is vast and boundless, with yellow sand filling the sky, and the scorching heat makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, he was wearing blood-red armor, holding the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff, and gazing into the distance.
Just then, Shangguan Yue, clad in fiery red armor, with dazzling long golden hair and strange markings on her face, appeared not far away.
At this moment, Shangguan Yue was standing on a crimson shuttle-shaped Spirit Power weapon, and on her back was the Yan God Armament, one of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Controller.
Her fiery red armor stood out like a burning flame in the desert, dazzling and intense; her long golden hair fluttered in the wind like a golden waterfall.
" Lu Qingshan!"
Shangguan Yue looked at Lu Qingshan, her voice clear and melodious, like the sound of wind chimes in the desert, "I didn't expect to run into you so soon, but this time I will definitely defeat you!"
"Oh?"
After hearing Shangguan Yue's words, Lu Qingshan showed no signs of tension or pressure. Instead, he quickly smiled and said, "Then I'll be watching with bated breath!"
"Go!"
With a low shout, Shangguan Yue quickly moved away from Lu Qingshan by stepping on her Spirit Power weapon.
Her speed was astonishing; the crimson shuttle spun beneath her feet, propelling her backward, covering an enormous distance in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Shangguan Yue had a thought, and the Yan God Armament behind her instantly split into nine Flowing Light.
These Flowing Light rapidly combined and transformed in the void, eventually forming nine crimson War Blade, War Blade radiating a scorching aura and a sharp edge.
The nine War Blade then formed a complex formation in the air and attacked Lu Qingshan from different angles.
Upon seeing the nine War Blade, Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed with admiration. " Shangguan Yue's talent is indeed remarkable. She's only been at the Space Origin Law for a short time, yet she's already able to wield the third level of the Yan God Armament to such an extent!"
It's worth noting that during the last Ranking Assessment Battle, Shangguan Yue could only barely assemble two War Blade at most.
Now, Shangguan Yue can control and form nine War Blade, so her strength is naturally much greater than before.
However, Lu Qingshan wasn't worried at all. After all, he could even use the Fourth Layer form of the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff, so how could he not defeat Shangguan Yue?
"Well done!" Lu Qingshan shouted, his voice filled with pride and confidence.
In an instant, he transformed into a streak of blood-red Flowing Light and shot towards Shangguan Yue's location.
However, this time he did not immediately unleash the Fourth Layer form of the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff, but merely swung the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff in his hand to block Shangguan Yue's attack.
Bang!
Shangguan Yue's crimson War Blade collided directly with Lu Qingshan's Dragon-Imprisoning Staff, producing a crisp metallic clang. The crimson War Blade then shattered instantly, sending numerous crimson daggers flying in all directions, scattering across the desert like a shower of flowers.
"Really----"
Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Although Shangguan Yue wielded nine crimson War Blade, their power was considerably weaker than that of Wadis Yan Shen Armament!"
He had fought with Wadis before and was deeply impressed by the power of the third level of the Divine Yan Shen Armament, the Heavenly Sword Style.
Wadis Yan Shen Armament the third level of the Heavenly Sword Style, which also allowed him to wield nine golden swords. These swords were solid and heavy, like real metal weapons, possessing boundless power. Although these golden swords were sent flying backward after colliding with the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff in Lu Qingshan's hand, they did not shatter directly.
They would at most be knocked back a short distance, then quickly regain their footing, reorganize their formation, and continue their attack on Lu Qingshan.
On the other side, Shangguan Yue was slightly taken aback when she saw Lu Qingshan casually shatter a crimson War Blade.
"This----"
While Shangguan Yue was struggling to reassemble the scattered crimson daggers into a crimson War Blade, she thought to herself, "How could Lu Qingshan be so strong? Or is my strength not as great as I imagined?"
"However, as a mentalist, the thing I fear least is having my weapon knocked away!"
With this in mind, Shangguan Yue quickly rallied and soon began to control the reconstituted crimson War Blade to attack Lu Qingshan once again.
" Shangguan Yue, your strength has indeed improved greatly!"
After familiarizing himself with Shangguan Yue's strength, Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "With your current strength, you'll definitely have no problem making it into the top ten in this assessment battle. With a bit of luck, you might even make it into the top five, but defeating me is impossible!"
"Now, lose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingshan immediately unleashed the third form of the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff: Dragon Imprisonment.
Then, strands of earthy yellow silk began to appear on the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff in his hand. These threads were as thin as hair, yet they contained a chilling power.
The dense, yellowish-brown threads converged and, driven by Lu Qingshan's powerful Origin Force, continuously linked together, finally forming a strange secret pattern at the tip of the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff.
"Go!"
Lu Qingshan held the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff and pointed it at Shangguan Yue, who was not far away from him. Then, from the strange secret patterns, streaks of earth-yellow, staff-shaped phantoms began to erupt continuously, each staff-shaped phantom containing the power to destroy everything.
These countless stick-shaped phantoms appeared near Shangguan Yue in an instant, like a net covering the sky, blocking all her escape routes, and then bombarded Shangguan Yue from all directions, giving her no space or chance to dodge.
Shangguan Yue tried to control the Yan God Armament to block Lu Qingshan's attack, but her nine crimson War Blade were like nine thin matches in front of the dense array of staff shadows, unable to withstand the overwhelming attack.
They were torn apart, crushed, and annihilated by the shadows of the sticks, like ice and snow melting under the scorching sun, utterly powerless to resist.
Rumble!
Countless club-shaped phantoms bombarded Shangguan Yue, completely engulfing her.
After the stick-shaped phantoms dissipated and everything returned to calm, all that remained were the Yan God Armament, which had lost all its power, and some broken pieces of its battle armor.
Shangguan Yue's consciousness had completely dissipated, and she appeared in the square outside.
In the vast plaza where numerous Universe Level -Universe Level geniuses had gathered, some of these geniuses, who had ended their battles earlier, were watching the fights of others.
Among these battles, the fight between Lu Qingshan and Shangguan Yue was undoubtedly the most captivating, as one of them ranked among the top three in the previous Ranking Assessment Battle, and the other is currently the fastest cultivating genius among Universe Level geniuses.
After witnessing Lu Qingshan easily kill Shangguan Yue, all the geniuses showed expressions of surprise.
"Heavens! I never expected that even though Shangguan Yue had already unleashed nine crimson War Blade, she still lost to Lu Qingshan!"
"It seems Lu Qingshan's strength has increased again. I wonder if he will have a chance to defeat Wadis and Kulen this time?"
"If Lu Qingshan's strength has increased, doesn't that mean Wadis and Kulen's strength won't also increase?"
Immediately, the surrounding geniuses began to discuss it.
Among these geniuses, Kulen, who had ended his battle early, looked at Lu Qingshan, who had defeated Shangguan Yue, and a hint of apprehension flashed through his mind.
Lu Qingshan's growth had indeed exceeded his expectations. Even as a mentalist, he wasn't very confident of winning when he encountered Lu Qingshan!
On the contrary, Wadis's expression was more calm. He still had a composed smile on his face and his gaze remained as calm as still water.
Because he already knew that Lu Qingshan's strength would greatly increase after a thousand years of cultivation, but his own strength had also improved a lot recently, so he wasn't too wary of Lu Qingshan's strength.
And so, amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the next round of assessment battles quickly began, with one battle after another unfolding.
Some win, some lose; some rejoice, some grieve.
It must be said that although Shangguan Yue was defeated by Lu Qingshan, her strength was still quite astonishing.
In her subsequent battles, she encountered and defeated the geniuses who had previously ranked fifth and seventh, which made more and more Universe Level cultivators realize her strength.
Lu Qingshan, who had previously defeated Shangguan Yue, naturally attracted even more attention.
Many people are now speculating about who will emerge victorious when he faces former number one Wadis and number two Kulen.
And so, amidst the anticipation of countless people, Lu Qingshan soon encountered Kulen, the previously ranked second-in-command, a Universe Level genius.
Kulen comprehended the Wind Origin Law and Time Origin Law, and his weapon, like that of Kalen before him, was the Divine God-Splitting Weapon, one of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Controller.
However, this Kulen is far stronger than the previous Kalen. He was able to unleash the third level of the God-Splitting Weapon a long time ago, and its power is extremely strong!
The elusive and unpredictable nature of the Wind Origin Law was best exemplified in Kulen's hands, and he wielded the Divine God-Splitting Weapon with unparalleled skill.
His attacks are as unpredictable as the wind, his movements as elusive as the wind, and his fighting style as ever-changing as the wind.
Unfortunately, Lu Qingshan's progress over the past thousand years has been far too great.
A thousand years ago, Kulen was able to defeat Lu Qingshan by virtue of his early-game advantage as a mentalist;
But by now, Lu Qingshan had surpassed him considerably in his Law Comprehension, and hadn't even used the Fourth Layer of the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff.
Its form alone was enough to defeat Kulen!
The outcome of this battle caused a huge uproar among many Universe Level geniuses.
After all, Kulen, ranked second, and Wadis, ranked first, are almost evenly matched in strength, and the outcome of each Ranking Assessment Battle is difficult to predict.
That's why, after Lu Qingshan defeated Kulen, many geniuses felt that he would definitely be able to defeat Wadis next.
However, under everyone's watchful eyes, Wadis did not appear too nervous; on the contrary, he remained remarkably calm.
And so, the battle raged on.
After the 198th battle, only one final battle remained between the top two hundred Universe Level geniuses.
Now, only Lu Qingshan and Wadis remain as Universe Level geniuses capable of maintaining an undefeated record.
