Virtual Universe, 88th World Zone.
In the ruins of a city.
Thunder God, clad in a black Force Battle Suit with a gleaming forehead, gripped a War Blade and panted heavily.
Before him lay more than a dozen Star Level geniuses, lying on the ground, unable to get up.
"I initially thought the Lone Wolf was the biggest threat to me in this city, but I didn't expect these guys to have secretly banded together. If I hadn't been careful just now, I probably would have been in deep trouble!"
Although he hasn't mastered the Law of Lightning, in a one-on-one fight, Thunder God is definitely considered a top-tier expert in this city, with very few powerful individuals posing a threat to him.
He deliberately avoided those powerful figures to avoid being eliminated prematurely. Now, having persevered to the 28th day, he is currently ranked 989th in the 88th World Zone. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be able to advance to the next round of battle.
However, at this very moment...
Ta-da!!
Dull footsteps sounded.
Thunder God looked up and saw a wild figure wielding a long sword appear not far from him. Almost instantly, the figure appeared in front of him.
" Rong Jun?"
Thunder God exclaimed in surprise.
The Savage boy stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on Thunder God's bald head.
Do you know me?
Thunder God laughed heartily, "I'm Luo Feng's second brother. He told me about you, saying you're incredibly powerful!"
" Luo Feng's second brother—" Rong Jun, who had originally intended to make a move, withdrew his killing intent. "Since you are Luo Feng's second brother, I will spare your life this time. After I kill Lone Wolf, I will leave this city. You'd better not run into me again, or you won't be so lucky."
"You bastard—you've got quite the nerve—even if you're strong enough, killing me? It might not be that easy! Not to mention that Lone Wolf, that Lone Wolf is a top-tier expert who has just entered the Origin Law!" Thunder God was somewhat displeased.
He had only heard Luo Feng mention Rong Jun and greeted him upon seeing him; he never expected the other party to be lenient and let him go.
"Snort!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Jun offered no explanation, and instead raised his hand to strike with his sword.
It was just an ordinary cut.
Thunder God felt as if Mount Tai had crashed down on him, and he was completely stunned.
He only came to his senses after the knife struck the ground.
On the ground beside him, a huge trench appeared, hundreds of meters long and tens of meters deep.
"This----"
Thunder God was completely dumbfounded.
This virtual world is enhanced; even the simplest objects are as strong as B9 ore, and the ground is incredibly solid. He could destroy the city's surface—but even if he used his full strength, the damage he caused would probably be less than one percent of that of a normal strike.
The key was the intimidation emanating from his soul just now. If it weren't for his extraordinary willpower, he probably would have been completely stunned into immobility.
"Would it take a second strike to kill you?"
Rong Jun spoke.
"You're amazing, you're awesome, that Lone Wolf is definitely no match for you."
Thunder God took a deep breath.
"Goodbye!"
After saying this, Rong Jun turned and walked towards the center of the city, the direction where Lone Wolf was.
Watching Rong Jun's disappearing figure, Thunder God looked at the gradually healing ground and gasped.
"What the hell is this? This is insane! To have someone with this kind of strength participate in the Peak Genius Tournament is practically cheating! Damn, can the Three Ones even beat him?!"
Thunder God glanced at the center of the city and pondered silently.
"If we encounter Rong Jun, that Lone Wolf will surely die. The danger in this city will be greatly reduced. Perhaps I can maintain my current performance and get into the top 1000 before the end."
I wonder how the third son and the eldest brother are doing in their grades?
Thunder God's figure silently disappeared into the darkness.
Inside a luxurious palace in the Virtual Universe.
The Ninth Prince Brolin, appeared.
One by one, the princes and princesses from the Ganwu Universe Country and other medium-level civilization empires rose to greet them warmly.
" Brolin, you're too late! We've been waiting for you for ages! Congratulations! Your Black Dragon Mountain Empire has really had a bumper harvest this time!"
A chubby, round man spoke up.
"A huge success? Could it be that Nabini has broken into the top 500 of the World Zone?" Brolin was overjoyed.
Nabini is the only seeded player in their Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and has the potential to break into the top 1,000 in the World Zone.
"Who is Nabini? I don't know—he probably hasn't even made it into the top 1000 yet." The fat man shook his head in confusion, then continued, "Isn't Luo Feng the strongest in your Black Dragon Mountain Starfield? He's currently ranked first in the First World Zone, with points far ahead of second place."
"Yes, yes, Luo Feng is too strong. I heard from the geniuses eliminated from the First World Zone that he uses a Yan Shen Armament Weapon. Anyone who encounters him is almost instantly killed—to this day, no one has ever been seen to last more than a second move against him."
" The Yan Shen Armament! That's one of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Controller, requiring Spirit Reader has entered the realm of Metal Law to wield it. Even when Luo Feng slaughtered those weaklings, he used the Yan Shen Armament, so his mastery of Yan Shen Armament must have reached a very deep level!"
"Yes! Isn't Luo Feng trained by your Black Dragon Mountain Empire? I thought he was a personal disciple of the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord."
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Brolin's expression changed slightly.
" Luo Feng —it shouldn't be that guy, right?" Brolin thought of the incident from five years ago.
He attacked the guy named Luo Feng at the exit of the World Lord World, and then asked the Domain Lord to help him capture him. But unexpectedly, Jiang Tianchen from Three Axe Mountain suddenly made a move and killed the Domain Lord Level expert he was relying on.
"Probably not! If that guy had such power back then, he wouldn't have been hit by the Laser Gun! It must be just a coincidence! There are many people in the universe with the same name."
Brolin shook his head inwardly.
" Brolin, the Nabini you mentioned has appeared. His points have surged, and he's now ranked 999th. Brolin, this time your Black Dragon Mountain Empire now has four geniuses who have broken into the top 1,000 in the World Zone."
"Four?"
Brolin quickly checked the other party's virtual page.
Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Luo Feng, World Zone 1, Rank 1.
Hong, 72nd World Zone, Rank 213.
Thunder God, 88th World Zone, Rank 967.
Nabini, World Zone 32, Rank 999.
Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God ----
Upon seeing these three names, Brolin's expression changed drastically. After the Domain Lord he had entrusted with the task was killed, he had naturally investigated the backgrounds of Luo Feng and his two companions. The names of those two companions were Hong and Thunder God.
If one person has the same name, it could be a coincidence. But if three people have the exact same name, it's almost certain that this Luo Feng is the same Luo Feng from back then.
"What to do? What to do?"
Brolin was completely panicked.
World Zone. 1----
He only became the World Zone one after being taken away by Lu San from the Maple Leaf Empire.
Although Brolin did not tell his father and grandfather about this, he did inquire about the powerful World Lord named Lu San from his grandfather. The answer he received was that Lu San was someone they could not afford to offend. Even his ancestor, the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord, had to treat Lu San with great respect.
" Brolin, what's wrong? Your Black Dragon Mountain Empire had such a bumper harvest this time, why do you seem a little unhappy?"
--
"They're probably not geniuses trained by their own Black Dragon Mountain Empire."
The princes and princesses said with a smile.
Brolin, not wanting to waste any more time, stood up and said, "I have some things to attend to, so I'll leave first. You can continue—"
He then logged off and hurriedly went to his maternal grandfather's palace.
He dared not conceal anything and recounted in detail what had happened in the World Lord World and on Canglan Star.
Hargrave's eyebrows furrowed after hearing this.
Grandpa, have I offended someone important?
Brolin spoke in a low voice.
"According to your description, it should be like this—I'll go ask the God Lord!" Hargrave breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't expected his grandson to cause such a huge mess.
Luo Feng was taken away from Canglan Star by Lu San. His strength Pingping before, but now he has firmly established himself as the number one in the World Zone. Even the other two geniuses who left with him have broken into the top 1,000 in the World Zone.
If it were Luo Feng, being trained—or taken as a disciple— Hargrave wouldn't even dare to imagine it.
Compared to the trouble his grandson had caused, the losses he had incurred on Canglan Star seemed insignificant.
Hargrave dared not hesitate and immediately sought an audience with the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord.
Much later.
Under Brolin's expectant gaze, Hargrave said, "This is probably the worst-case scenario you guessed. The God Lord said—you must not leave my palace these days. After Luo Feng finishes the World Championship, then you can ask him how to deal with you. Luo Feng has an incredibly powerful background; even the God Lord can't protect your safety. Whether you live or die—it all depends on Luo Feng's decision."
"Why did this happen—Grandpa, save me! If that guy gets to deal with me, I'll definitely die!"
Brolin said in a panic.
At this moment, he panicked completely and no longer harbored any illusions.
Even his Immortal God ancestor said so, so Luo Feng must be backed by an entity that his Black Dragon Mountain Empire cannot afford to offend.
" Brolin —my grandson—your grandfather will try to give you a glimmer of hope. Behave yourself these days, and whatever you do, don't cause any more trouble, or no one can save you!"
Hargrave sighed. The attitude of the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord just now had already made some sense. Hargrave knew that he couldn't count on the God Lord. If he sold all his assets and gave them to Luo Feng, he didn't know if it could save his grandson's life.
Tianyi.
As the countdown ended, one genius after another was kicked out of their respective World Zone.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God all successfully made it into the top 1,000 in the current World Zone, qualifying for the next round.
Luo Feng, being the number one in the First World Zone, is exempt from all subsequent selections and can directly participate in the final cosmic competition.
"There's really no pressure; the gap is just too big!"
Luo Feng teleported back to the Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex.
Babata's voice rang in his ears.
" Luo Feng, we have received 19,876 emails and 232 video call requests."
So many! It seems the World Zone one spot is still quite popular.
Luo Feng smiled slightly and said, "Reject them all!"
"Yes, I've rejected them all." Babata rejected all calls without hesitation, and filtered out any useless emails as well.
" Luo Feng, a World Lord Level powerhouse named Hargrave seems very anxious. He sent several calls, and also—he somehow found out your Maple Leaf Bank account number and transferred a total of 5.8 Hunyuan Unit of Universe Coin to your Maple Leaf Bank account."
5.8 Hunyuan Unit, that's really generous!
Luo Feng chuckled.
Keep in mind that his Earthling Main Body is still at the Star Level, while the legacy left to him by Hu Yanbo is only 10 billion Ruwu Coins.
Even including the weapons he obtained from the World Lord World, this amount of money was still a huge sum for him.
He opened the email and took a look.
"Your Highness Luo Feng, I am Hagareqie, Brolin's maternal grandfather. I apologize to you on Brolin's behalf. Those cosmic coins are a small token of my appreciation. Besides the Scar, I also have the territories of twelve star systems, which I wish to transfer entirely to Your Highness Luo Feng. I only beg Your Highness to spare Brolin's life—"
