"What is that? What kind of sword is Zhang Junbao holding?"
"A Spirit Reader managed to send a martial artist flying in close combat."
"My God, Zhang Junbao has a new weapon in his hand, one he's never used before."
"Does this mean that Zhang Junbao is actually hiding extremely deep strength?"
The audience around the ring erupted in uproar.
Now it's the final match of the Arena Final Battle, and both fighters have surprisingly changed their weapons at the last moment.
It's important to understand that neither martial artists nor Spirit Reader can arbitrarily change their weapons. Whether it's Origin Force weapon or a psychic weapon, it needs to be used in conjunction with the user's secret techniques to unleash its maximum power.
The two had already swept through the arena using their original weapons, so how terrifying would their strength become after changing weapons?
In a palace atop the Ganwu Continent, a group of eternally existing gods are watching the battle on the arena.
"Hmm, this year's competition seems to be getting interesting."
"That's right. There was a genius who comprehended two Law before, Luo Feng, Spirit Reader from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. He comprehended the Law of the Origin of Gold and the Law of Space Origin, and easily eliminated his opponent."
Moreover, it wields one of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Controller, the Yan Shen Armament, making it exceptionally powerful.
"So that's how it is. It seems that Luo Feng does have a chance to make it into the top 1000 of the finals."
"This is getting interesting. This Savage Rong Jun has also comprehended two Origin Law. The Phantom Body he creates using his Space Secret Technique is no longer a mere illusion, but possesses real attack power."
"But Zhang Junbao was actually able to block them all."
"This battle was so intense that both sides shattered all their weapons. What is that sword in Zhang Junbao's hand? It actually possesses both time and space attributes?"
Even the host was taken aback; everyone knew that what was revealed at the end would be their strongest trump card.
"That's... that's the ' Space-Time Hunyuan Sword,' the foremost of the Nine Great Divine Weapons!" The host exclaimed after carefully examining the translucent longsword in Zhang Junbao's hand.
"How is that possible? The talent requirements for mastering the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword are extremely exaggerated. How could a mere Star Level being possibly master it?"
Even the Immortal in the palace gasped in surprise when they saw the weapon in Zhang Junbao's hand.
It's important to know that weapons like the Yan Shen Armament, which Controller's mental energy, can be used by the user up to the World Lord Level and still unleash tremendous power. Even Immortal God can use the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword!
However, not many Immortal God know how to use it. Although it is extremely powerful, it requires an extremely high level of talent.
"Although this is in Virtual Universe, Zhang Junbao must also gain the recognition of the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword in reality before he can use it in the virtual network," said an Immortal figure in the form of an old man.
"This Zhang Junbao is no ordinary person."
Even if the Savage Rong Jun has acquired new weapons and displayed Space Law, defeating him will definitely not be easy.
"I've heard that other Universe Country have produced super geniuses who have mastered the Law of time and space. I never imagined that my Ganwu Universe Country would also have such a genius."
At this moment, even these high and mighty Immortal were shocked.
In the Killing Field, Man Luo, who was leisurely lying on a deck chair, saw the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword in Zhang Junbao's hand and immediately stood up.
"This little guy actually fooled even me. It seems he must have obtained quite a few treasures in the secret realm before."
Well, everyone has their own destiny, and I've gained quite a bit too.
" Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng both hail from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and they were even recruited by me. It seems my Virtual Universe Company's Black Dragon Mountain Branch is about to rise to prominence!"
A smile appeared on Man Luo's old face. She had recruited two geniuses ahead of time. If they could eventually become Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company, Man Luo's contribution would be significant.
The ruler of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was so excited that he kept showing off to the other Immortal around him.
"See that? This is the genius who emerged from my Black Dragon Mountain Empire. What is Rong Jun? He'll be defeated by Zhang Junbao sooner or later."
On the enormous throne, the Ganwu Country Lord stared at the screen in front of him, shook his head slightly and smiled, "Without a good opponent, it's really hard to tell just how strong these two little guys are."
It seems that Virtual Universe Company had the same idea, so they specially arranged for the two of them to meet and force them to reveal their true strength.
Haha... hahaha, no matter which one advances this time, I've already gained something."
"Luo Feng is an unexpected surprise. After so many years, I never expected that in this year's Genius Battle, my Ganwu Universe Country would actually have three people with a great chance of breaking into the top 1000 in the entire universe."
And Zhang Junbao might just win first place. If that happens, my contribution points will more than double.
It seems my decision to invest in advance was correct.
The Ganwu Country Lord rarely smiled; the immense pressure of debt was almost suffocating this Universe Country Lord.
Inside the private room, Thunder God waved his hand and said, "That's right, just like that! Junbao, kill him, take down this Savage."
" Rong Jun is no simple man either; he's still hiding his strength. But even if he changes his sword, it's wishful thinking for him to contend with Junbao."
"Hahaha, as expected of my son! That Savage, he doesn't look like a good person at all," Zhang Junbao's father, Zhang Anzhong, said with a laugh.
"Yes, our son is so talented. Look how many young girls are screaming for him in the audience. It would be so nice if he could get married sooner," Zhang Junbao's mother Yang Fei, said with a wry smile.
Zhang Lin, standing to the side, held Xu Yan's hand and said, "Sister Yan, look at my brother, he's like a block of wood. It's so hard to get him to understand anything. And after this Genius Battle, he might have to leave Earth."
If all else fails, use force; take him for yourself first!
"Hehe, I agree." Thunder God said with a chuckle, looking like a roguish old man.
" Junbao has indeed sacrificed too much for the Earth; it's time for him to have a personal life."
However, knocking him unconscious is extremely difficult. There aren't many drugs that can counteract Star Level Ninth Stage.
After saying that, Thunder God rummaged through his Space Ring, seemingly looking for some kind of drug that could knock Zhang Junbao unconscious.
"What are you thinking? With Junbao's abilities, if I really used some kind of drug, wouldn't he be able to detect it? Don't forget, even if I added a Phantom Demon illusion, it wouldn't be difficult for him at all," Hong said, frowning slightly.
Yang Fei, holding Xu Yan's hand, said, "Isn't that brat wasting the young lady's time? After this battle, we must have a serious talk with him about this."
" Junbao has his own ideas about everything, let's just leave it to fate," Hong advised.
"Don't let my brother fall for any of those flashy, cheap women in the universe. What if he marries someone with wings or horns? That would be terrible!" Zhang Lin gave Thunder God a look, and Thunder God nodded as if he understood.
Yang Fei was filled with hatred, gritting her teeth.
Zhang Anbao also frowned, worried about the continuation of the Zhang Family.
On the arena.
"You're not Spirit Reader?" Rong Jun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked incredulously.
"Who decided that Spirit Reader must be weak in close combat?" Zhang Junbao retorted.
Rong Jun's eyes widened in disbelief. He knew he had fallen into a cognitive trap. In battle, such misjudgment could have extremely serious consequences.
However, Zhang Junbao's Spiritual Force techniques had already caused him considerable trouble. If his close combat abilities were equally formidable, how would he cope?
Why have you been hiding your close-combat skills?
"Aren't Spirit Reader more efficient at attacking? There's no rule against dual cultivation in the Genius Battle, is there?"
Besides, it wasn't that I intentionally concealed anything; it's just that my opponents were too weak, and no one gave me a chance to engage in close combat.
Just as you said, I didn't take the competitions within the Ganwu Universe Country seriously.
And coincidentally, my goal is also the finals, to defeat 999 geniuses and ultimately win first place.
"Fate is truly wondrous!" Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"You... you!" Rong Jun suddenly realized that what Thunder God had said was true.
"So Thunder God was talking about you all along."
" Thunder God may be a bit eccentric, but he never lies," Zhang Junbao said. "Are you going down there yourself, or should I kill you and send you down?"
"Hahaha, I've been arrogant enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more arrogant than me!"
"I, Rong Jun, have fought my way through life and have never been afraid of anyone. It is absolutely impossible for me to admit defeat!" Rong Jun shouted. "I believe I have already reached the pinnacle of the Star Level. So what if you have comprehended the dual Law time and space? The more Law you have, the better. The key is how much power you can unleash!"
I refuse to believe you can kill me so easily!
I have already unleashed the Earth-Splitting Blade. Now, I will let you experience the strongest strike I have just mastered: the fourth strike of the ' Space-Splitting Blade Art,' Shattered Milky Way!
I hope you can go all out, and fight with me with all your might. Then this Genius Battle will have been worthwhile!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Earth-Splitting Blade in Rong Jun's hand emitted a buzzing sound. He suddenly moved forward, and space distorted again, creating three identical Rong Jun. Moreover, his speed increased dramatically, unleashing an unprecedented speed with the power of space.
The treasures sent to him by the Ganwu Country Lord ultimately allowed Rong Jun to further enhance his strength, which was one of the sources of his extreme confidence.
"You are a worthy opponent. In that case, I will show you my strongest sword strike!"
Hopefully, when its power erupts, you won't have been cleaved into a cloud of Blood Mist. On the ' Space-Time Hunyuan Sword ' in Zhang Junbao's hand, countless transparent small swords formed from Space-Time Vortex did not disperse but instead condensed into the sword body.
The entire sword appeared like a dreamlike bubble, leaving countless afterimages in the air as Zhang Junbao swung it.
At the same time, Zhang Junbao's Ninefold Domain erupted, and Rong Jun, who had just revealed the Space Law, actually felt his body freeze, as if the surrounding space had become extremely viscous and his speed had decreased sharply.
"What?!" Savage Rong Jun exclaimed in shock. "My movement technique, which comprehends the Space Origin Law, allows me to unleash incredible speed in an instant. Ordinary domains simply cannot affect me. But what's going on with his domain? Why is my speed being suppressed by it?!"
Zhang Junbao's domain completely affected the speed of the Savage Rong Jun, disrupting his movement and greatly reducing the power of his strike.
No matter how strong Rong Jun's swordsmanship is, without extremely fast speed to enhance it, the power he can unleash is limited.
After all, no matter how strong you are, a slow and deliberate swordsmanship Undying kill you.
"We can't delay any longer. If this continues, I won't even be able to swing this knife before he kills me."
Rong Jun roared repeatedly, and the power of the Law surged wildly into the blade.
He finally swung down his giant War Blade, War Blade twisted and distorted, as if he had suppressed the entire space around him.
Die!
Opposite him, Zhang Junbao's eyes were also filled with murderous intent.
The sword in Zhang Junbao's hand emitted a fantastical light, as if he had control over the entire universe.
Rong Jun's body was suppressed by Zhang Junbao's domain, and he couldn't break free from the spatial constraints. Only the War Blade in his hand could slash down.
Zhang Junbao also swung his sword down, the longsword radiating a fantastical light clashing with the giant War Blade in Rong Jun's hand.
A powerful force of spacetime gradually erupted, and the two forces were completely overwhelmed. The force of spacetime obliterated Zhang Rong Jun's entire body. The bloodied and mangled Rong Jun roared continuously, but in the end, he was still crushed into a cloud of blood and foam.
Just as Zhang Junbao said, when his attack power was unleashed, Rong Jun had no chance to see it at all.
With a "ding-dong".
Rong Jun had vanished from the arena, leaving only the giant War Blade in his hand lying on the stage with a thud.
Silence reigned, both on the ring and in the stands.
The sound of Rong Jun's War Blade falling onto the arena was exceptionally clear.
Congratulations, Zhang Junbao!
A moment later, the host's booming voice echoed throughout the entire arena.
"We also thank Rong Jun and the other two for presenting a spectacular showdown for the hundreds of millions of people in our Ganwu Universe Country."
This is absolutely the most exciting battle since the start of this year's Genius Battle.
In this battle, Zhang Junbao will also obtain a spot from our Ganwu Universe Country, qualifying him to represent the entire Universe Country and compete against other universe geniuses in a pinnacle showdown.
Rong Jun's figure reappeared on the arena.
" Zhang Junbao, I lost to you this time, but I will never give up. The Reincarnation Battle! The three-year Reincarnation Battle is what I have been longing for."
Three years from now, I will stand on this stage again and defeat you in front of the entire universe!
"Then you'd better work hard. In three years, I don't know how much my skills will have improved."
At this moment, countless people in the Ganwu Zone showed expressions of shock.
Even the previously composed Immortal were now extremely shocked.
"This is because true top talents will definitely have a place in the top 1000 of the finals. In fact, as he said, becoming number one in the finals wouldn't be out of the question."
" Rong Jun's mastery of Space Law is already extremely high; he is absolutely capable of killing Universe Level being. However, even Domain Lord Level expert might perish at Zhang Junbao's hands with this attack!"
"This is a true top-tier prodigy."
"Our Ganwu Universe Country's current cohort will definitely shine brightly in the Universe Genius Battle."
Zhang Junbao's comprehension is truly terrifying. Is it possible for someone at the Star Level to reach such a level?
If he grows up and reaches the World Lord Level, wouldn't he be able to rival even Immortal?
Only the group of Immortal in the palace knew that the difference between the World Lord Level and the Immortal level, which seemed to be only one level, was actually a leap in the level of life.
Could it be that World Lord Immortal —a top-tier prodigy in the universe—is about to appear in their Ganwu Universe Country?
In the final Arena Final Battle in Ganwu Zone, Zhang Junbao emerged victorious, as did Luo Feng.
After the arena battle ended, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire was in an uproar.
"Both Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng, who qualified this time, have the ability to enter the top 1000 in the finals. Hahaha, our Black Dragon Mountain Empire is really going to make a name for itself in the universe this time."
And there's the reward I promised them last time—a whole star system for each of them.
"If they can make it to the finals and rank 1000, why not bestow the entire Silver Blue Empire upon them?"
The ruler of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was so excited that he almost couldn't speak properly.
Humanity across the entire planet erupted in excitement, chanting the names of Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng in unison.
Zhang Junbao and the others didn't feel anything, because they knew this was just the beginning.
Inside the Nine Star Bay Villa on Black Dragon Mountain Island.
" Thunder God, you're going to have to work your butt off for the next three years," Zhang Junbao said with a smile. "Are you ready?"
"So what if it's a three-year war? No big deal. Back on Earth, we fought monsters for decades and still made it through, didn't we?"
I will definitely make the most of the next three years. The geniuses in the Ganwu Universe Country will be my whetstone.
My greatsword is just as thirsty for blood!
"Hehe, many of the geniuses participating in the Reincarnation Battle now might end up in the Ganwu Secret Realm later. I might as well train them now."
"Sure, Thunder God!"
Now you can start familiarizing yourself with the business. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me, and I'll take care of it.
Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
Over the next three years, a knockout tournament will be held to select the final 200+ participants, who will then form a pool of 1000 to compete in the global finals.
"Everyone!" Hong stood up and said.
"Now that the arena battle is over, I can finally relax."
"Next, I'll be going on an adventure in space with my teacher. See you in the Virtual Universe!"
"Hahaha, Brother Hong, our footsteps will not be confined to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. The Ganwu Universe Country, and even the entire universe, that is where we will conquer."
The universe may be vast, but it can never stop our progress.
"Don't let your guard down. With the teacher's guidance, my skills will definitely improve faster than before. Don't let me surpass you then."
Wandering the universe, witnessing its myriad wonders, and pursuing the pinnacle of life—that's the kind of life I love most.
Even if there are many powerful figures, I will kill them all with a single shot.
The four exchanged glances; they could sense the absolute confidence and power emanating from Hong Fa's heart.
"Hahaha, powerful beings of the universe, prepare to welcome our arrival!"
The four brothers, laughing heartily, embarked on their respective journeys.
The next day, Hong followed Luo's spaceship and left the hometown that had nurtured him for decades.
Three years is a long time for Zhang Junbao and his team.
During this period, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire also bestowed two star systems, closely connected to the Milky Way Galaxy. However, they entrusted them to their families for management.
Zhang Junbao and his group ignored it, because they knew that wealth in the universe was illusory, and only strength was the most fundamental thing.
During these three years, Thunder God seemed to be stimulated by Hong's departure, and he trained frantically. The endless opponents in the Reincarnation Tournament completely unleashed his potential.
In the first year, his Punishment Lightning became much more powerful, causing his opponents to cough up blood one by one.
In the second year, he fully grasped the mysteries of the Punishment Lightning and its fusion with the Time Law, and he had few rivals left on the arena.
In the third year, the Punishment Lightning reached its peak. On the arena, it was invincible and unstoppable! It could break through the defenses of any Law.
Finally, Thunder God encountered the Savage Rong Jun again. This time, Thunder God no longer simply fled. The two clashed thousands of times, but Rong Jun paid the price of serious injury in order to kill him, and this improvement greatly shocked Rong Jun.
During these three years, neither Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, nor Hong stopped moving forward.
Within the Killing Space, they engage in a fierce battle every month.
Everyone is fighting hard for the grand finals three years from now.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
