The trial has only been going on for ten days, and quite a few geniuses have already been eliminated.
On the seventh floor of the second Trial Tower, Zhang Junbao encountered the Zerg Queen again.
Zhang Junbao continued to kill Zerg Warrior ahead, while at this moment, two Zerg Mother Nest stood across the distance in the Trial Space.
Queen Elizabeth was screaming wildly beside Zhang Junbao.
"Master, kill it quickly! Kill it, and I will be able to devour it and seize its Zerg Mother Nest. I will gain all its power."
Our Zerg evolution is the simplest: we simply devour our opponent to seize all its power without wasting a single bit.
I can even seize its Zerg Mother Nest entirely and upgrade my Mother Nest, which will allow me to breed super soldiers much faster.
Elizabeth shouted excitedly.
At this moment, her madness as the Zerg Mother Emperor was fully unleashed. The ability to constantly devour her own kind is an innate instinct of the Zerg. Even within their own territory, the Zerg strengthen themselves by constantly killing and devouring each other.
Opposite Zhang Junbao, the Zerg Queen of the second Trial Tower was roaring madly. Her once beautiful face was now completely distorted. She saw her own kind on the other side, frantically devouring the Zerg Warrior she had created.
But it was no use. Zhang Junbao's Arc Blade Disc severed the Zerg Mother Emperor's limbs, leaving her body to rot.
On the tenth day, Zhang Junbao said to Elizabeth, "The rest is up to you."
"Don't worry, dear master, I will absorb all its power without reservation."
Elizabeth used her Zerg Mother Nest to completely devour the Zerg Mother Emperor on the second level. Zhang Junbao only heard a shrill wail before receiving a notification that he had passed the second Trial Tower.
" Elizabeth, how are you now?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"Master, with my current strength, the super soldiers I create can absolutely crush the Mother Emperor on this level," Elizabeth said excitedly.
Having an owner is wonderful; even if she devours her own kind, someone will back her up. Right now, it's like Zhang Junbao is directly delivering the food she needs to her mouth, which makes Elizabeth extremely happy.
Although this is just Virtual Universe Network, her instincts of killing and devouring as Zerg were amplified to the extreme.
After receiving the entire corpse of the second-level trial object, Elizabeth's strength had surpassed that of the original Zerg Queen.
"Not bad. If they can't even reach this level of strength, then it's a waste of time and effort to raise them," Zhang Junbao said.
No matter how much the outside world bombards him with angry shouts and questions, Zhang Junbao can't hear them anyway, and he simply won't pay any attention to them.
He made steady progress, giving Zerg Queen Elizabeth of the Zerg ample time to develop her fertility.
The second Trial Tower has seven levels, and he passed them all.
The third Trial Tower, with seven levels, was also successfully completed.
The fourth Trial Tower is where the strength of the trial targets has greatly improved; over 95% of the geniuses who participated in the trial were unable to pass through this Trial Tower.
Zhang Junbao has passed through all seven levels of the fourth Trial Tower and entered the first level of the fifth Trial Tower.
Meanwhile, Death God ' Bolan ' had already reached the sixth Trial Tower. His progress had slowed down, but he continued to advance steadily, and his killing speed was astonishing.
Bolan glanced at the rankings during a break, and to his astonishment, he actually saw Zhang Junbao's name among the top 100.
"67th place, he's already quietly climbed into the top 100, but his speed is really slow!"
Although Zhang Junbao's ranking wasn't high, for some reason, Bolan felt a sense of pressure.
"How is that possible? How could a contestant who isn't even in the top ten put pressure on me? It must be my imagination."
Bolan's eyes changed, becoming utterly cold once more. With a flicker of his body, he conjured hundreds of Clone, annihilating all the thousand Blood-Haired Mammoth on the first level of the sixth Trial Tower.
The blood-red longsword in Bolan's hand was not stained with a drop of blood; instead, it absorbed all the blood clinging to it, making it a Bloodthirsty and deadly weapon.
In the Virtual Universe, in the Central Plaza.
For Immortal with eternal life, a year here is but a fleeting moment, and they are currently on a mission, so they cannot abandon their posts. The 1008 great Immortal are discussing this.
"Thirteen, those two little fellows from your Ganwu Universe Country, Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng, have been taking their time, and they seem to be doing each level without any difficulty."
"Look, Luo Feng has broken into the top 100! Another hidden talent."
" Zhang Junbao is still the same. How long does he plan to keep nurturing the Zerg Mother Emperor? Isn't this Mother Emperor too lucky? All she does is eat and not work."
"Thirteen, your king has really struck it rich this time! Three super geniuses have made it into the Core Member, and Virtual Universe Company is the wealthiest company in the world, so the rewards are substantial. You'll have to treat us!"
"Ah! Rong Jun is dead. He ranked 11th overall, which is not bad. As a martial artist, he was indeed at a disadvantage when facing a large number of enemies, and his killing speed was not as fast as that of Spirit Reader. However, to be able to reach this ranking, his strength in this year's Genius Battle is definitely among the top five."
But to say that we'll get first place is simply impossible.
Thunder God was eliminated on the third floor of the fourth Trial Tower when he faced the Metal Lifeform ' Tuoluo Race Warrior '.
The fourth Trial Tower's ' Tuoluo Race Warrior ' can use metal to channel all of Thunder God's lightning into the ground, causing extremely limited damage.
Having lost his strongest attack method, Thunder God was ultimately overwhelmed and killed by the ' Tuoluo Race Warrior,' ranking 9988, finally entering the top 10,000 in the universe. It's just a pity that he missed the next round of the Arena Final Battle.
Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng have been steadily progressing, and the results are finally showing. Initially, they were ranked at the bottom, but after most contestants fell at the third Trial Tower, their rankings rose rapidly.
Fewer than one hundred geniuses have entered the fifth Trial Tower.
Some Immortal who previously estimated Luo Feng's strength to be between 3000 and 5000 have now been proven wrong. They thought they had overestimated Luo Feng's strength, but now Luo Feng has actually broken into the top 100, and it seems he still has the strength to continue advancing.
Zhang Junbao was even more horrified. The Zerg Queen he had cultivated had devoured a large number of corpses, absorbing an astonishing amount of energy and nutrients. In particular, each Zerg Queen Zerg Queen on each level had a large amount of Virtual Universe Company Cosmic Energy stored within her body to ensure absolute realism, serving as a resource for the survival of their Zerg Warrior.
These resources were all pre-planned; they didn't appear out of thin air. And after Elizabeth devoured them all, her own strength alone would be terrifyingly comparable to the Zerg Queen of the sixth Trial Tower.
"Master, I sense that the super soldiers inside the Mother Nest are starting to stir. They want to come out, and my main body's strength is almost insufficient to suppress them." Elizabeth's face showed a troubled expression.
This is his Zerg, the Mother Nest is already 300 meters tall, and extremely intense energy surges from its enormous size.
"Then let them be born. I also want to see just how strong the super soldiers you create will be after absorbing so many materials," Zhang Junbao said.
"Come forth, my warriors!" With Zerg Elizabeth's shout, ten imposing Zerg Warrior swiftly sprang forth from her Zerg Mother Nest.
"Master, these are the 10 super warriors I have conceived, belonging to the largest category of my Zerg, the 'Mantis,' one of the most powerful types of Zerg, the ' Hunter Mantis Zerg.'"
They possess powerful bodies, astonishing speed, incredible defense, and unparalleled agility in dodging, along with innate superior combat skills—they are truly born warriors!
"Zerg Mother Emperor Elizabeth of the Zerg said proudly."
Each one is about 24 meters tall, with a strong and muscular build. Its entire body is covered with a layer of streamlined scales that are mainly black. The complex Black Scale Armor are decorated with blue patterns, giving the entire Hunter Mantis Zerg a ghostly aura. It has thick lower limbs and two pairs of forelimbs that look like War Blade, with sharp claws on the edges of the forelimbs.
Above their heads, a pair of compound eyes shone forth, their unrestrained killing intent enough to render any weak prey immobile in their presence.
Two sharp horns protrude from its head, and its mouth occasionally opens, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth.
Every detail of its body tells a story of a pure killing machine.
"This design is really good!"
"They are not yet in their strongest form. Only through continuous battles with enemies, devouring each other, the weak dying and the strong surviving, the strong consuming the weak to become even stronger, will all the energy converge at the last one, and that one will be the most outstanding and strongest warrior. I believe it will definitely provide you, Master, with a powerful boost."
"In that case, follow me into the next level!"
After saying that, Zhang Junbao, along with the Zerg Mother Emperor and ten Hunter Mantis Zerg, teleported to the sixth Trial Tower.
There were still ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoth, but any one of them was strong enough to rival the top ten thousand human geniuses.
In other words, this one layer alone is equivalent to ten thousand Thunder God.
And this is only the first level of the sixth Trial Tower.
In the plaza, since there are not many contestants left, everyone's attention has been focused on the geniuses.
"Has Zhang Junbao finally released the Zerg Warrior he trained? It's actually ten Hunter Mantis Zerg! They're the most terrifying Zerg race, slaughtering countless Human Race on the Outer Domain Battlefield."
"Enslaving the Zerg Queen requires a huge initial investment of resources, but the returns are also incredibly high. Ten Hunter Mantis Zerg —does he really intend to use them to cultivate a 'king' among the Zerg?"
This isn't reality, so what's the point?
"Could it be that his goal is to clear all the Trial Tower?"
"How is this possible! Since the Trial Tower was established countless epochs ago, not a single genius has ever been able to completely clear it. Its design is not intended for geniuses of Star Level to pass through."
"That's hard to say. This year's Genius Battle is getting more and more interesting. Not only has a monstrous genius like Bolan emerged, but there's also Zhang Junbao, who's been quiet for a long time, but his schemes are incredibly elaborate!"
"Thirteen, this is a genius from your Ganwu Universe Country. Do you know just how strong Zhang Junbao really is?"
The Scaled Giant Thirteen was somewhat frustrated because, as an Immortal, he was unable to answer this question.
"Hmph, the geniuses nurtured by our Ganwu Universe Country are beyond your comprehension. Just wait and see!"
"Damn it, that taciturn Thirteen has actually gone astray, daring to keep us in suspense."
"There's nothing we can do; this year's class has just too many geniuses."
"Consider this level a test for you. I won't make a move. You just need to kill the ' Blood-Haired Mammoth ' on this level, leaving only one alive." Zhang Junbao stood in mid-air with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
"Master, leave it to them!" Zerg Mother Emperor Elizabeth of the Zerg said with a smile.
Zerg Mother Emperor Elizabeth of the Zerg let out a strange scream, and ten Hunter Mantis Zerg charged out.
A battle of ten against ten thousand, an extremely unequal numbers, but these Hunter Mantis Zerg knew nothing of fear; their hearts were set on the orders of their Mother Emperor.
In the first level, blood and flesh flew everywhere. In just a few minutes, 9,999 Blood-Haired Mammoth were easily slaughtered. The last one was deliberately left behind by Zhang Junbao.
After all, once all 10,000 Blood-Haired Mammoth are killed, they will leave and be teleported to the next level, which would be a waste of the energy of this level.
"How long will it take them to finish eating all these Blood-Haired Mammoth carcasses?" Zhang Junbao asked. The 9,999 small mountains of corpses before them were not something that could be easily consumed.
"Don't worry, Master, I'm still here. Put all these corpses into our Mother Nest, and I can quickly extract all their energy, make them into energy clusters, and let these warriors absorb them directly."
"Zerg Mother Emperor Elizabeth of the Zerg said."
"That's good, it's convenient." Zhang Junbao nodded.
"In terms of energy utilization efficiency, we Zerg are the most efficient; we will never waste a single ounce of energy!"
The Zerg's slaughter continues. There's a reason they've become a super-race in the universe: their overwhelming killing power, fearless spirit, and immense potential for devouring and evolving make them the perfect killing machine.
"What? He actually passed the sixth Trial Tower! With those Zerg?" The Immortal were already shocked. After entering the sixth level, Zhang Junbao stopped fighting and focused on cultivating his secret technique. He left all the killing to the Zerg Warrior.
Even Bolan has only just passed through the sixth Trial Tower and reached the first level of the Seventh Trial Tower.
Zhang Junbao has begun his challenge of the first level of the Seventh Trial Tower, while ten Zerg Warrior, exceptionally powerful, are wreaking havoc.
His points have surpassed Bolan's, making him number one!
"My God! Bolan has actually been surpassed by Zhang Junbao."
Those ten Zerg Warrior alone are comparable to a Bolan. How powerful will the Zerg King, born from their mutual devouring, be? Could it be that a miracle that has not been broken for countless eras is about to be born in this generation?
"Thirteen, you can't hide anything from us. Zhang Junbao hasn't shown his full strength yet, but we can tell from his passage through the first five levels that he's definitely stronger than Bolan. There must be a powerful figure guiding him. Who is guiding him?" an Immortal asked.
Thirteen shook his head. "I really don't know. I've only paid a little attention to this person. Who knew he would be so strong?"
As you all know, in the final battle between him and Rong Jun in the Ganwu Country region, he unleashed a single move that turned Rong Jun into a bloody mess, which revealed that he possessed the ' Space-Time Hunyuan Sword,' the foremost of the Nine Great Divine Weapons.
You are all aware of the conditions for the ' Space-Time Hunyuan Sword ' to recognize its master, which is enough to prove that his talent in the Space Law is extremely powerful.
"Let's wait and see. The person behind him will be exposed sooner or later. In any case, Zhang Junbao is now famous throughout the universe!"
These Immortal Expert all sighed, realizing that at least when they were at the Star Level, they could never have reached Zhang Junbao's current level.
Although this Genius Battle wasn't broadcast live, Virtual Universe Company edited and distributed videos of each participant.
The trials have progressed to this point, and the contestants who have advanced are among the most watched.
In particular, Zhang Junbao surpassed Bolan at the last moment to become number one.
"What? Zhang Junbao is number one? Zhang Junbao from our Black Dragon Mountain Empire? Surpassed that Death God Bolan, who's hailed as the strongest genius in millions of years?"
Having witnessed Zhang Junbao's extraordinary talent, the Black Dragon Mountain King, determined to make another effort to father several exceptionally talented princes, leaped from his enormous dragon bed.
His beloved concubines all ran into a large number of them.
"Quick, quick, start Zhang Junbao's video!"
An old minister with a huge tortoise shell on his back couldn't wait and took out the scene of Zhang Junbao leading the Zerg Warrior to kill the first level of the Seventh Trial Tower.
"He didn't even have to do it himself? Just how powerful is he to have trained such terrifying Zerg Warrior?"
"Hahaha, what an honor for our Black Dragon Mountain Empire, a true honor indeed! This is a super genius who surpasses even Death God Bolan!"
Such a phenomenon is rare even across countless epochs; such a person will undoubtedly attain Immortal in the future, becoming a top-tier powerhouse among Immortal, and possibly even Universe Venerable!
After all, when Bolan appeared, some people had already predicted that he would become Space Venerable. Now, Zhang Junbao, who has surpassed him, has an even greater chance of becoming Venerable.
The emergence of such a genius would be met with substantial rewards from both the Ganwu Country and the Virtual Universe Company. Even a tiny glimpse of such talent from these massive organizations would be an incredible opportunity for the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
"Our Black Dragon Mountain Empire is utterly insignificant in the entire universe. No, it's as insignificant as a grain of sand. But today, our Black Dragon Mountain Empire is destined to become famous throughout the universe."
With countless resources poured in, my strength will definitely advance further, and Marquis, or even King Rank, will no longer be a dream!
"Quickly, bring me another ten thousand Fox Race beauties. I want to father many more children. As long as even one of them is like Zhang Junbao, our Black Dragon Mountain Empire will prosper forever!"
"Your Majesty, you've been working so hard these past few days!"
"What's there to be afraid of? After watching Zhang Junbao's video, I feel full of power. If Zhang Junbao could sweep away ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoth, what's the big deal about me sweeping away ten thousand Fox Race beauties?"
I'm so happy! I'm going to declare today a festival for the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire, so everyone can celebrate together!
Is this how the accounts are calculated?
Your Majesty, whatever makes you happy!
