"You are the most outstanding geniuses in the Ganwu Universe Country. My requirement for you is to go all out and break into the top 1,000 in the Universe Country. Whoever gets a spot in the final competition will receive a generous reward from me."
A voice echoed throughout the entire Wind Thunder Island.
One by one, these Star Level geniuses looked up at the horizon, their eyes filled with burning passion.
"He is the great Ganwu Country Lord."
"The great king said he would give generous rewards to the top one thousand."
I must break into the top 1,000!
At the very front of the crowd.
Harvey was thrilled.
Everyone else assumed the voice came from the great Ganwu Country Lord, but only Harvey knew it wasn't—
This was the voice of Myriad Laws Venerable. Several years ago, he was received by Myriad Laws Venerable and bestowed with that treasure, which allowed his strength to be dramatically enhanced.
At that time, he firmly memorized the voice of the Myriad Laws Venerable.
"Top 1000 in the Universe Country is not my goal; my goal is top 10 in the Universe—I've already grasped the basics of the Time Law, and based on previous years, I already have a chance to compete for top 3. I don't ask for much; top 10 will do!"
King Mingguang, Marquis Silvermoon, and Marquis Canghai also stood on Wind Thunder Mountain, listening to the voice of Myriad Laws Venerable with respectful expressions.
Only after the sound completely disappeared and there was no further response did the three of them begin to talk.
" The Myriad Laws Venerable's requirements are very low; he merely asks them to do their best to break into the top 1,000 of the Universe Country," Marquis Canghai remarked.
"Hehe, that's because Myriad Laws Venerable doesn't have much hope for them. Among these geniuses, only Harvey has a chance to achieve something in the finals of the Genius Battle. As for the others—they have absolutely no hope—" King Mingguang said with a smile.
Marquis Silvermoon also said, "Yes, in previous years, perhaps one or two of them could have made it into the top 1,000 of the universe and participated in the final competition. This time, the chances are really slim."
"Haha, luckily our Ganwu Universe Country a secret weapon. Myriad Laws Venerable has personally trained two geniuses—they are bound to be even more powerful Harvey. This Genius Battle will depend on their performance."
"Geniuses personally nurtured by Myriad Laws Venerable are bound to be extraordinary—I also eagerly anticipate the performance of those two geniuses."
"No need to rush, the World Championship is about to start—you'll know in a month—"
With the opening of the registration channel for the Peak Genius Tournament, the enormous golden notice board in the sky remained unchanged.
Any genius, unless they don't enter the Virtual Universe for a month or even communicate with anyone in reality, will inevitably receive this message.
The number of people registering for the Ganwu Universe Country is also increasing.
The deadline is fast approaching.
The number of applicants has exceeded 800 billion.
Eight hundred billion Star Level, from all over the Ganwu Universe Country, each of them possessed some confidence in themselves.
After the registration deadline, these top talents will be divided into one hundred World Zone for a free-for-all battle, and only 100,100 of them will qualify for the next round.
Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God Shen reunited.
"What a cruel elimination mechanism! Over 800 billion Star Level geniuses, only 100 World Zone, and only 1001 people from each World Zone advance to the next round. Doesn't that mean 1001 people out of over 8 billion are being selected?"
After reviewing the game's mechanics, Thunder God took a deep breath, feeling that this wasn't a battle, but rather a meat grinder.
With over 8 billion people vying for 1001 spots, that means only one out of eight million Star Level geniuses can be selected—a probability far lower than winning the lottery.
The crucial point is that this is only the first round.
"Normal—there are too many applicants. If we don't screen them this way, how long will it take to finish?" A glint of fighting spirit flashed in Hong's eyes. "This is just right. As long as you're strong enough and not too unlucky, the more people there are, the higher the margin for error, and the easier it is to advance."
"Big brother, third son, you two are definitely fine—but I'm in danger—" Thunder God rubbed his head. Of the three, he was originally the most powerful, but now he was the weakest.
"Second brother, don't worry—you're already at the Eighth Level Domain. Although getting into the last thousand will be a bit difficult, getting into the top thousand in the World Zone shouldn't be a problem, as long as you don't run into those geniuses who have just entered the realm of Origin Law."
Luo Feng smiled and comforted him.
"Haha, it's a pity the three of us aren't in the same World Zone, otherwise I could rely on you guys and wouldn't have to worry about being eliminated by some unexpected event."
"It was decided by random draw, there's nothing we can do about it. Second Brother, didn't you make many friends in the Ganwu Mystic Region?"
"How about I ask those beginner-level geniuses in the Ganwu Mystic Region if any of them are in 88th World Zone, so you can look after each other?"
"Let's forget about it. With 100 World Zone World Zone, each so large, how easy is it to encounter a genius who has just entered the realm of Origin Law?"
Thunder God shook his head, telling his two brothers that it was just a joke. He still had some pride; being favored in the Genius Battle meant that even if he advanced, it wouldn't mean anything.
He raised his glass.
"The World Championship starts tomorrow, let's have a drink! I hope the three of us can all make it through the World Championship!"
"Come on! Cheers to tomorrow's battle!"
"Damn!"
The three clinked their glasses.
In the Virtual Universe, even drinking all night long will have no effect.
The next day, all the geniuses gathered together, and after the countdown ended, they were each teleported into one of 100 World Zone.
These are all independent planes created within the Virtual Universe.
When Luo Feng reappeared.
They found themselves in a small house in the city.
Tables, chairs, benches, household appliances, kitchen, and bathroom were all simulated, making it seem like a real, ordinary small family in the city.
"This place bears some resemblance to the South Bank Residential District on Earth! It seems the original city must have been very densely populated."
While checking the news in the First World Zone, Luo Feng walked to the window and looked at the city filled with neon lights.
The First World Zone, a simulated real world, Piluoxing, with an area of approximately thirteen million square kilometers.
Luo Feng didn't know much about Piluoxing, but he had some idea of what thirteen million square kilometers was like—about the size of the largest country on Earth.
The area is only the size of one country on Earth, yet it is crammed with 8.2 billion Star Level geniuses. You can imagine how high the density is.
"Boom!!"
Just as Luo Feng was reviewing the rules, a window on the opposite fifty-story building shattered, and a figure flew out in a panic. Behind him, a powerful man wielding a hammer quickly caught up and smashed the fleeing genius to death with a single blow.
"What an unlucky guy! He must have been assigned to the next room, where the fighting started right away!"
At that very moment, the powerful figure wielding the iron hammer opposite him saw Luo Feng's direction. A thin window could not obstruct the vision of Star Level genius.
Upon spotting his target, the powerful man wielding the iron hammer charged towards Luo Feng without a word.
"This guy seems to be having a really bad time!"
Luo Feng was still learning the rules and didn't intend to start a massacre immediately, but since they had come to him, he certainly wouldn't let them go.
"Scratch!"
The window shattered, and shards of glass, manipulated by Luo Feng Spirit Power's telekinesis, hurtled towards the enemy.
"Hahaha---- Spirit Reader? How foolish. The glass here, though reinforced, is at most only B-grade."
"You think you can hurt me with this?"
However, the words had barely left his mouth.
The man with the hammer was easily pierced by countless shards of glass and fell straight down from the high-rise building, which was still a long distance away from where Luo Feng was.
Ordinary B-grade glass shards aren't very lethal, but with the addition of the Metal Law, they become completely different!
Contestant: Luo Feng ( Black Dragon Mountain Empire )
Points: 2
Ranking: None World Zone: First World Zone
"2 points, no ranking yet. Looks like the fighting in the First World Zone is fierce right now."
In this short while, Luo Feng had fully grasped the rules, and he took out the Yan Shen Armament—
As night slowly fell, the entire city descended into a frenzied killing spree.
Luo Feng made no attempt to conceal himself, flying recklessly through the air. His Spirit Power spread out in all directions, and whenever he encountered a contestant, the Yan Shen Armament in his hand would split into a sword light, taking the opponent's life.
If there are two people, then there will be two sword lights; if there are a hundred people, then there will be a hundred sword lights!
Soon, all the geniuses in the city knew that there was a top expert in their city who could use Yan Shen Armament.
Anyone who encounters him is doomed.
Luo Feng's points kept increasing.
After searching every corner of the city, Luo Feng didn't hesitate and flew away to the next city.
There are definitely many survivors in this city, but finding and killing them one by one would be too time-consuming. His goal is not to slaughter a city, but to become the number one in the World Zone, so he must kill the strong people in other cities. Those strong people have also gained a lot of points. Only by killing them and obtaining half of their points can he avoid any accidents!
A day after Luo Feng left, the hidden geniuses in the city slowly began to show themselves—they were all terrified, the guy carrying the Yan Shen Armament was practically a Killing God.
To this day, they have only heard legends about that person and have never actually seen him, because all the geniuses who have seen him are dead, without a doubt!
The title of Killing God was slowly spreading.
Virtual Universe, Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex.
Inside Luo Feng's manor.
Xu Xin and her two children have been closely following Luo Feng's academic progress.
"Dad is amazing! It's only the first day, and he's already in the top 10,000 of the First World Zone!"
"Dad broke into the top 1,000!"
"Top 100!"
"Top 60!"
"Top 59!"
"Top 30!"
Luo Feng's grades kept changing, and every time they improved, the two little guys, Luo Ping and Luo Hai, would shout excitedly.
Seeing her husband's ranking steadily improve, Xu Xin smiled.
My husband rose to prominence on Earth, and even in the universe, he remains just as outstanding!
