The Battle for Resources Begins! Lin Mo's Research into Illusions
The next morning.
The Central Plaza was noticeably quieter and cooler.
The bustling crowds and noise that once drew millions of participants are long gone.
The vast majority of geniuses have already been eliminated.
They have all been teleported back to their respective star systems by the Virtual Universe System.
The once-empty square is now quietly occupied by 7,300 exceptional geniuses.
They are the most outstanding elite geniuses in the entire Human Territory over the past five thousand years!
Each person exudes a powerful aura, whether cold or violent.
At that moment, the sky trembled slightly.
A terrifying pressure that made everyone feel suffocated descended from nowhere.
In mid-air, the great being, dressed in a blue battle robe and with faint purple scales covering his body, appeared.
He looked down, his deep eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Greetings, Universe Venerable!"
Upon seeing him, one would see 1008 powerful Immortal God standing in front of the plaza.
Almost simultaneously, they all bowed deeply, showing the utmost respect.
Their voices, enveloped in divine power, echoed like thunder throughout the void.
"Um."
The Venerable Nine Swords nodded slightly, his cold gaze falling on the young geniuses below, and slowly spoke:
"Trial over."
First of all, congratulations to the test takers ranked 1st to 100th.
"You have been granted direct access to the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company."
"Now, if any of these one hundred people do not wish to join, they can speak up."
"My Virtual Universe Company will never force anyone."
The Venerable Nine Swords's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
However, after he finished speaking, there was a deathly silence below.
No one is foolish enough to refuse.
Seeing that no one spoke, the Venerable Nine Swords withdrew his gaze and continued to look down at the remaining people.
"As for the 7,200 participants ranked 101st to 7,300th."
"Based on your performance in the trial space, the Virtual Universe System has automatically arranged arena battles for you."
"The rules are simple: the player who wins three consecutive matches will secure a spot in the final round."
Those who fail are eliminated immediately.
After the Venerable Nine Swords announced the rules for the next round...
A brief discussion broke out in the Central Plaza.
However, they were quickly suppressed by the Immortal.
Shortly afterward, the Central Plaza trembled slightly.
7,200 people were instantly teleported away from the originally densely packed crowd of geniuses.
At this moment, Luo Feng stood in the crowd, looking around.
He saw many renowned geniuses.
Examples include Death God Bolan, the genius Wuka from Manka Star, the Savage Rong Jun, and the Light Sword Ai Chen.
These one hundred people are all geniuses among geniuses, destined to become future powerhouses who will shake the universe.
However, Luo Feng did not consider these people as opponents.
Genius is merely the threshold to being seen.
There are seats over there; you can watch the live stream there first.
At this moment, the voice of the Venerable Nine Swords came, and then he pointed to the distance.
Suddenly, in a corner of the Central Plaza.
One hundred large, comfortable chairs and some exquisite tables appeared out of thin air.
Various rare cosmic wines and delicacies, exuding exotic aromas, were already laid out on the table.
After saying that, the Venerable Nine Swords's figure flickered.
They then returned to the high platform area where the 1008 powerful Immortal God had gathered.
He sat on the throne in the very center.
Luo Feng and the other one hundred people exchanged glances and then walked towards the rest area.
Luo Feng casually found a chair and sat down.
He casually picked up a strange fruit from the table, which exuded a cool aura, and popped it into his mouth.
He picked up another glass of strong liquor and took a sip.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky above the square.
In mid-air, thousands of enormous virtual screens had materialized out of thin air.
Every screen is broadcasting a battle that is about to begin live.
"It's about to begin."
"Look, that's Illusion Demon Galexi of the Howling God Race. He's on that screen."
"I wonder how long his opponent can last. I've heard his illusions are practically unbeatable in this competition."
Around them, several familiar geniuses also sat down and whispered among themselves.
Almost simultaneously, the battle erupted on 3,600 screens!
The battle for the final 900 spots has officially begun!
This is a life-or-death struggle with no way out.
The winner will ascend to the top and enter the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company.
The losers can only leave the stage in disgrace, becoming mere supporting characters.
The battle was extremely fierce.
Just tens of seconds later.
On one screen, there is a person with extremely strong abilities.
The young man, who had become famous throughout his Universe Country, collapsed helplessly to his knees in the muddy simulated battlefield.
There was a bloody hole the size of a finger between his eyebrows.
His gaze gradually became unfocused, and his lips trembled slightly.
One after another, these peerless geniuses, who once commanded great influence in the outside world, fell from grace.
In less than five minutes, all 3,600 matches in the first round came to an end.
Half of the people were eliminated.
Half an hour after the first round ended, the second round of the competition began.
Looking at the constantly flashing battle scenes in the sky.
Luo Feng gradually found it somewhat boring, so he simply withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.
The battle of these geniuses.
In Luo Feng's eyes, who is now able to skillfully master the third Heavenly Sword Style the Yan Shen Armament and has crossed the threshold of the three major laws.
It's really too weak and too simple.
Except for Galesi, who was known as the Phantom Demon.
Its bizarre mental illusion techniques were enough to make Luo Feng glance at it briefly.
The remaining matches.
In Luo Feng's view, it was almost no different from two weaklings fighting each other, and there was no need to pay any attention to it.
"Teacher."
Luo Feng sank a wisp of his consciousness into his sea of consciousness and asked with some curiosity:
What do you think of that illusion magic of the Illusion Demon Galexi?
"In these last few matches, he won almost immediately after just one glance at his opponent."
Upon hearing Luo Feng's question, Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
"Luo Feng, you've come to the right person when you asked about illusion techniques."
"I was quite knowledgeable about illusion magic back in the day."
"When I first ventured into the universe, I followed the pure Mental Master Controller path."
"But in the vast universe, I encountered far too many methods of Soul Enslavement and bizarre illusionary attacks."
"For self-defense, and also to know yourself and your enemy."
"I had no choice but to start learning the skills of an illusionist part-time."
"But who knew that my talent was simply too extraordinary."
"Before I knew it, I had gone to great lengths in the field of illusion."
"In my prime, once my illusion attacks were unleashed..."
Even those powerful beings with the will of Venerable Level.
"If you're not careful, you won't be able to defend yourself either, and you'll instantly fall into an endless illusion."
