Noah Universe Country, on a Huang Wu planet.
The bald man in the white robe couldn't help but rub his nose, his expression somewhat embarrassed.
"That kid Bolan, I thought he was a shoo-in for first place, but I can't believe he almost didn't even make the top ten! What a huge loss! Is he deliberately throwing the game against me?"
Outsiders cannot see the live stream inside the Trial Tower; they can only see the rankings—so the white-robed man had no idea what was happening.
He had great faith in Bolan's abilities, so on the day the Genius Battle began, he placed a large bet on Bolan to Genius Battle first place, when the odds were highest.
I thought I could make a fortune, but instead I lost all my savings from the past few years.
Although he was Marquis Immortal God, he had not joined any major cosmic power and had been wandering around the universe, rarely having the opportunity to make money. Now, after losing this sum of money, his already impoverished family was made even worse off.
" Bolan is a bit arrogant, but he has the right to be. Logically, with his talent in Law of Space, nothing should go wrong—this Genius Battle is really strange!"
The man in white robes did not leave the Virtual Universe. He continued to follow the Genius Battle section. The Trial Tower could not be watched live, but the arena matches were usually public. He would soon understand what had happened.
If he hadn't just recently told Bolan not to contact him before Immortal, he would have already emailed Bolan to ask what had happened!
He was heartbroken to lose so much money!
Meanwhile, in the Ganwu Universe Country, the whole country was celebrating.
" Luo Feng, Luo Feng!"
" Rong Jun!"
Everyone was shouting the name of their idol.
Since Ling Yu won first place in the Genius Battle tens of thousands of years ago, the Ganwu Universe Country has rarely produced star players. This time, however, Luo Feng and Rong Jun both made it into the top three in the universe in the Trial Tower points competition, giving the people of the Ganwu Universe Country, who had been frustrated for a long time, a chance to finally hold their heads high.
There are 1008 Universe Country in Human Territory, and the Ganwu Universe Country occupies two of the top three spots. What an honor!
In Luo Feng's hometown, the Maple Leaf Empire, and even in the higher Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, Luo Feng's name is known to all.
Second in the universe----
This is the best achievement the Black Dragon Mountain Empire has ever made since its inception. This day deserves to be remembered forever!
Inside the luxurious palace, many people were drinking and celebrating.
Emperor Yi Wei of the Silver Blue Empire was beaming with joy.
"This Prince Luo Feng was born in the Milky Way Galaxy, Milky Way Galaxy was originally one of the eight major star systems of our Silver Blue Empire. However, due to the expansion of the Maple Leaf Empire Maple Leaf Empire, I sold it to them. I never expected that such a genius as Prince Luo Feng could be born in the barren Milky Way Galaxy!"
" Yi Wei, then didn't you sell it at a loss?"
Someone said with a laugh.
"Haha, stop stirring things up. When the Maple Leaf Empire bought the Milky Way Galaxy and Beta Galaxy, the benefits to my Silver Blue Empire were considerable, far exceeding the value of those two galaxies. The Maple Leaf Empire's patriarch, Lord Lu Qingshan, was a good friend of mine. We even went on adventures together in the Cosmic Secret Realm and forged a bond of life and death."
This was the most glorious moment of Yi Wei's life, and he would talk about it from time to time.
Just by casually mentioning it, the Silver Blue Empire gained unimaginable benefits. Some World Lord Level families and forces that heard the news were very enthusiastic about cooperating with the Silver Blue Empire.
There are even forces of Immortal God who subtly support the Silver Blue Empire's overseas businesses. As a result, the Silver Blue Empire's national strength has greatly increased in recent years, and it has produced its second Domain Lord Level powerhouse!
The other people at the banquet were mostly important figures from other early-stage cosmic civilizations in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.
Although they secretly criticized the Silver Blue Empire's emperor, they always wore envious smiles on their faces.
no way!
Because Yi Wei isn't bragging, it's true!
He boasted like this even in front of the Emperor of the Maple Leaf Empire, and it was never refuted.
That Ancestor Lu Qingshan is a top figure in the Ganwu Universe Country. Yi Wei knows such a big shot, and there are even rumors that they went on adventures together. How could others not be envious and jealous?
Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Imperial Capital Star.
Inside a luxurious palace.
Hargrave looked at the message in his email and breathed a sigh of relief.
His guess was correct; Luo Feng and that Lord Lu Qingshan definitely had a connection.
Ranked second in the entire universe, what an honor! Their Black Dragon Mountain Empire's most outstanding genius, Nabini, wasn't even in the top 1,000 of the Universe Country.
If it weren't for the guidance of that important figure, Luo Feng's strength would never have improved so quickly!
He was glad he had acted decisively, giving all his assets to Luo Feng to reconcile with him—otherwise, given Luo Feng's current status, a single word from him could have killed Brolin, and even he himself would have been implicated.
Hargrave glanced at the gloomy boy not far away, a hint of affection flashing in his eyes.
" Brolin."
He let out a soft cry.
Grandpa.
Brolin bowed.
After Hargrave reported this to the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord, Brolin was placed under house arrest here and his use of the Virtual Universe was restricted. Although there was jubilation outside, Brolin had no idea what had happened.
"The rankings for the first round of the Peak Genius Tournament are out. Do you know how Luo Feng did?"
"Hargrave asked."
" Luo Feng!" Upon hearing this name, Brolin's expression became extremely complicated. He knew that his grandfather had given up all his assets, including the family's territories across twelve star systems, to save his life.
"If Grandpa said that, his grades must be pretty good. Could it be that he broke into the top 100 in the universe?"
Brolin guessed.
"No!" Hargrave shook his head. "His ranking is second in the universe."
Having said that, ignoring the shocked Brolin, Hargrave continued, " Brolin, my grandson, do you know what this means? Luo Feng and you are no longer from the same world. Forget your resentment and anger—that will kill you, and it will also implicate your mother and me!"
"Grandpa, Brolin knows." Brolin's expression changed before he said.
He is a smart man.
Otherwise, after learning about Luo Feng's results in the world championships, he would have immediately contacted his grandfather for help. He had already realized the problem then, but he didn't expect it to be more serious than he imagined.
This Luo Feng is like a dragon trapped in shallow water; once it enters the deep sea, it soars into the sky.
"Grandpa, I want to apply for the Ancestor's Divine Kingdom cultivation. I will stay in the Divine Kingdom until I reach the Domain Lord Level."
Brolin began to speak.
"Yes, go ahead. The God Lord shouldn't refuse your request." Hargrave nodded.
Brolin's request to cultivate in the Divine Kingdom was a way of showing that he would no longer provoke Luo Feng. Although the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord didn't care about the life or death of this descendant, Brolin's initiative in making this request made him feel more at ease.
After all, no one knew better than the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord who was behind Luo Feng!
His brother Ward, one of only two Immortal God in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, was also the teacher of that man's son.
Virtual Universe, Ganwu Continent, Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex.
"Wow, Dad is amazing! He's second in the universe!"
Luo Hai, who was playing in the community square, glanced at the universe rankings and exclaimed in surprise.
" Luo Hai, what do you mean by 'second in the universe'?"
"My dad! My dad participated in the Genius Battle, and he was ranked second in the universe."
Luo Hai said happily.
Showing off is a child's nature. There's no danger in the Virtual Universe, so Luo Feng and Xu Xin don't have many demands on their child.
Aside from strictly ordering them to reveal that they came from Earth, they were not instructed to conceal their identities.
" Luo Hai? Really? Your father is Luo Feng?"
A group of friends gathered around.
"Yes, my dad is Luo Feng!" Luo Hai said proudly.
"Hmph, you're just bragging, Luo Hai. Don't think you can just claim Luo Feng as your father just because you share the same surname!" a burly ape-man boy said.
"You're the one who's making up stories about fathers. My father is Luo Feng."
I don't believe it!
You damned monkey!
What is a monkey?
"I'm so proud of you!"
In the Virtual Universe, although everyone only maintained the body of Apprentice Level, their hearing was still quite amazing. The adults who were strolling and chatting nearby naturally heard the argument between the group.
"That little guy said his dad is Luo Feng."
"Haha, I almost hope he's telling the truth. When Ling Yu won first place in the Genius Battle, the property prices in our neighborhood skyrocketed. If Luo Feng were also from our neighborhood, the property prices would practically fly to the sky!"
"Yeah, I heard that a family next door sold their property in the neighborhood and bought a real-world inhabited planet to become Planet Lord. Buying a property in a Virtual Universe to buy a real-world inhabited planet seems a bit outrageous to me."
"What do you mean by outrageous? You don't know the value of our community, or how many important people want to get in touch with Princess Ling Yu. What is the assets of a planet compared to that?"
"I wish Luo Feng really was from our neighborhood!"
"Haha, I'd like to too, but it's just a child's joke."
Everyone thought it was just a child's joke and didn't take it seriously.
However, at that moment, countless beautiful fireworks burst in the sky above the residential area, and golden banners appeared out of thin air in every corner of the community.
The group went forward to investigate.
"Warmest congratulations to Mr. Luo Feng, a resident of this community, for achieving the outstanding result of second place in the first round of the Peak Genius Tournament."
The signature is from the developer of Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex.
Seeing these.
The residents of the community were in an uproar, overjoyed.
It turns out that what was just said wasn't a child's joke; Mr. Luo Feng, ranked second in the universe, really is a resident of their Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex.
This is also----
The other residents of Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex were at a loss for words.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds: they were rich. One community had produced the number one in the universe and the number two in the universe in a row. Putting aside other values, just this kind of luck attribute alone was enough to make countless wealthy people pay for it.
The property prices in their Galaxy Oasis Residential Complex will likely experience a surge soon.
The resident who had just been envious of his neighbor who sold his property and became Planet Lord was now extremely grateful. He was thankful that he had resisted the temptation and hadn't sold his house; otherwise, he would have definitely suffered a huge loss.
Mr. Luo Feng not only lives in the community, but his family and children also live there.
This means that Mr. Luo Feng will definitely come back often.
Although Ling Yu also lives here, she lives alone and rarely comes back. Even when she does, she doesn't interact with outsiders. In comparison, they have a much greater chance of encountering Luo Feng.
A crowd surged to the area in the square where the children were playing.
The area around Luo Hai was surrounded by layers of barriers.
"Your name is Luo Hai, right? Uncle will treat you to pastries from Crisp Moon Workshop."
"What's so special about pastries? Do you know Hundred Flavors Pavilion food; come to my house to try them later!"
The Ape-man Race boy who had just questioned the arrival of so many adults was stunned.
Not only him, but Luo Hai was also startled.
Although he was more outgoing than his Luo Ping, he couldn't resist such enthusiastic treatment.
"Uncle and Aunt, I'm going home for dinner."
After leaving those words, he disconnected and left the Virtual Universe.
Although Luo Hai had left, a group of residents from the community did not disperse; they continued to talk about it.
"As expected of Mr. Luo Feng's son, he's so polite, even calling me 'Auntie'."
"Haha, he called me uncle too."
"That little guy must have been scared. What a pity, I forgot to ask Mr. Luo Feng which building he lives in?"
"Could it be that hilltop villa at the very back of the residential area? No one is ever allowed to get close there?"
"No way, that place has been off-limits for a long time! How old is Prince Luo Feng? He can't possibly be more than ten thousand years old."
"No matter who lives there, they certainly can't compare to Mr. Luo Feng!"
"Yes, Mr. Luo Feng is the second-best in the universe, and he's definitely going to be a big shot at Virtual Universe Company in the future!"
