The tan shield gradually grew larger, resembling a city wall blocking Long Yun's path.
Facing Luo Feng, Long Yun knew how to fight.
To fight Luo Feng head-on is suicidal!
When the opponent broke into the Trial Tower, they stormed into the fifth level of the Seventh Trial Tower, while he only made it to the Sixth Trial Tower.
The only solution Long Yun could think of was to unleash his strongest defense.
All we need to do is block Luo Feng's attacks.
As the arena gradually shrinks...
With less room for Luo Feng to move around, he still has a sliver of hope!
This is our only hope!
On the other side of the ring.
Seeing Long Yun seemingly retreating into his tortoise shell, Luo Feng did not stop him from using his secret technique, but gave him ample time to form this absolute defense.
Sensing the indestructible aura emanating from the heavy shield, Luo Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.
Long Yun's defense is truly formidable. If he could only Yan Shen Armament the Second Layer of the Divine Weapon, he might not even be able to shatter the opponent's defense.
but!
Luo Feng tossed it out.
The dark gold staff suddenly disintegrated, transforming into countless golden sword beams, with 729 golden rays intertwining into a dense net.
A world filled with the light of swords was created.
In this world, Luo Feng is the ruler, like World Projection of the World Lord.
Before he even made a move, the shield, Long Yun's strongest defensive secret technique, began to clang, seemingly unable to withstand the immense pressure from the Sword World.
"How could this be? How could the difference be so huge?!"
An expression of disbelief flashed across Long Yun's face.
He had thought that his strongest move would be enough to hold out for a while, but before his opponent could even make a move, he was already on the verge of collapse!
"Take this!"
Luo Feng's voice rang in my ears.
Countless golden sword beams appeared out of thin air and crashed fiercely into Long Yun's shield, instantly causing numerous cracks to appear on the sturdy shield.
The world seemed to turn golden, and behind countless tiny sword lights, a huge golden sword slowly materialized.
"Boom!"
A loud impact.
The shield, which had been like a spider web, exploded like a shower of flowers, its fragments flying everywhere. Long Yun, who was hiding behind the shield, was instantly melted upon contact with the sword light.
"In arena 88, Luo Feng!"
A notification sounded, and Luo Feng glanced at the spot where Long Yun had disappeared before being teleported out of the arena.
"What a pity! In previous years, Long Yun's true strength would have been enough to enter the Primal Secret Region. Even if he were weaker this time, he could have broken into the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. But he encountered Luo Feng and was instantly killed in one move!"
In the square, the Immortal God watching the match let out a sigh.
"Whose fault is that? Ever since the Universe Country Selection Competition, Long Yun has kept a low profile and has never shown his talent in Law of Space. The Virtual Universe System simply cannot know his true strength, which is why he was assigned to Luo Feng as his opponent."
"How foolish! Myriad Laws Venerable warned them beforehand not to conceal their strength, otherwise it would affect the judgment of the Virtual Universe System, but they still wouldn't listen to advice. What can we do!"
The Immortal God leading the Lanting Universe Country had a livid face.
One Heaven and Earth Secret Realm Apocalypse Mystic Region. They may seem to differ by only one level, but in terms of their contributions, they are worlds apart.
This Genius Battle was so difficult. Their Universe Country had finally produced a promising talent from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, but now he had been eliminated and relegated to the Apocalypse Mystic Region. This was something hard to accept.
Luo Feng's battle is over.
The battles of the others continue.
Because the arena gradually shrinks, no matter what kind of fighting style it is, it cannot last too long.
Half a day later.
All the battles have ended, and the top 100 contestants have been selected.
Lu Qingshan looked at the hundred winners and a smile appeared on his face.
"Excellent, your battles were all spectacular. Of the one hundred of you, even the weakest will be able to enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. Not only will you receive meticulous training from the Virtual Universe Company, but you will also receive a bonus of 1000 Hunyuan Unit. However, just like before, only twenty of you will be able to advance to the next round!"
Lu Qingshan began reading the list of names.
"The players who have advanced to the next round are: Xinyan, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Wuka, Anos, Anuosi, Yalun, Bolan Xueqiong ----"
There are a total of twenty names, including 13 who made it to the Seventh Trial Tower, and the other seven who were at the level of the seventh floor of the sixth Trial Tower.
Geniuses of this caliber would be considered top Genius Battle in other competitions, and even then, they would be highly skilled. Yet now, they are forced to fight against each other for a chance to qualify for the top ten in the Primordial Secret Realm.
Those who lose the battle may even be relegated to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm!
The order of battle will still be determined by drawing lots.
"Fortunately, my opponent is Keli'en."
Luo Feng looked at the opponent he had drawn.
Although the unspoken rule of Virtual Universe Company is that the strongest players are not usually matched up early, Luo Feng couldn't be sure now that it was already the final stage.
He was somewhat worried that he had run into Xinyan and Rong Jun ahead of time.
Xinyan needs no further explanation.
That was a monster that had cleared the Trial Tower; encountering it meant certain death, and even Luo Feng had no confidence whatsoever.
As for Rong Jun, if Rong Jun were to encounter him now and defeat him, it would mean eliminating him from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and Luo Feng didn't want that!
The result of the draw was exactly right.
He glanced at Keli'en, who was also looking at him.
Judging from Keli'en's furrowed brow, he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Of course, he wasn't the most unlucky one. The most unlucky one was Lannuo, a Spirit Reader who had made it to the seventh level of the Sixth Trial Tower. His opponent was the Fire Demon Xinyan. If there was still some suspense in other battles, the battle between the two of them was basically a foregone conclusion.
The battle began quickly.
In less than a second, Lannuo was kicked out of the ring; he didn't even know how he had lost.
He only felt a blur before his eyes, the world seemed red, and then he died.
Luo Feng was the second to finish the battle.
Next, the third one.
The fourth one.
Soon, the top ten in the universe appeared----
"Congratulations! You're guaranteed entry into the Primordial Secret Realm and will receive a bonus of 10,000 Hunyuan Unit. Next, you'll need to fight again to select the top five—"
Lu Qingshan's gentle voice rang in the ears of these young people.
"This competition for the top five will be conducted in the order in which the battles were completed. The first person to finish their battle will compete against the last person to finish, and so on."
Once this was said...
Among the crowd, the expression of the boy with blood-red wings changed slightly.
In the previous match, his opponent was a martial artist similar to Long Yun, with amazing defense. He relied on his agile movements to entangle with his opponent for a long time before finally defeating him, which is why his battle ended at the very end.
The first to resolve the battle was Xinyan.
" Xueqiong versus Xinyan."
" Luo Feng to Yalun."
97
Rong Jun to Bolan.
" Wuka against Anuosi."
"The Xueqiong is gone!"
On the high-rise building, the gazes of several Universe Venerable pierced through layers of obstruction and landed on the newly released battle list.
"Haha, this Xueqiong is that old guy Blood Wing's descendant, right? His strength is not as good as the others, so it's already quite good that he's come this far. Anyway, we're all in the Primordial Secret Realm, that's enough!"
" Anuosi doesn't seem to be in good shape either. Although his secret techniques are powerful, he's probably no match for Wuka."
Manka Venerable looked at Venerable Youyue and said with a smile.
"Hmph." Venerable Youyue snorted, saying with dissatisfaction, "That Wuka was just incredibly lucky, absorbing an entire Space Crystal at birth. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a match for Anuosi at all."
"Haha, so Anuosi can use a self-created secret technique at the level of Immortal God. Don't say you didn't contribute to that?" Manka Venerable said with a laugh.
"Stop arguing. Xueqiong is in a terrible state, but my Yalun is in a similar situation. If he encountered a martial artist, he might have a chance, but he's faced Luo Feng, who's ranked second. Luo Feng used the technique of 'Evolution' in the Trial Tower and when he fought Long Yun."
The Sixth Layer of the Divine Weapon Self-Contained World, while Yalun can only barely unleash the Fourth Layer the Water Divine Weapon at present. The gap is too great!
During the discussion among several Universe Venerable.
The match has already begun.
As expected, Xueqiong was the first to be eliminated. His agile movements were almost useless against Xinyan. As soon as he entered the arena, a ball of flame directly swallowed up a large area of the surrounding space.
In despair, Xueqiong was burned to a skeleton.
On another arena.
Countless golden sword lights easily pierced through the water curtain and penetrated Yalun's body.
Before the other person disappeared, Luo Feng raised his hand.
"You flatter me!"
Luo Feng greatly admired Yalun, this gentle and mild-mannered man, and felt very comfortable around him.
Therefore, during the fight, he did not toy with his opponent, but went all out, showing his opponent sufficient respect.
--
On yet another arena.
Thousands of white-robed Phantom Body attacked Rong Jun from all directions, each Phantom Body a blood-red sword.
Rong Jun's gaze was low, and he gripped his War Blade tightly.
His gaze swept over these Phantom Body, and then he drew his War Blade!
"Die!"
A furious roar.
Rong Jun suddenly swung his War Blade, transforming it into a dazzling blade of light.
The War Blade moved with extreme speed, its incredibly sharp blade light striking precisely one of the white figures among the countless Phantom Body.
"Boom!"
Bolan raised his blood-stained sword to stop him.
However, the hastily raised blood sword was no match for the fully charged War Blade. With a deafening crash, the War Blade sliced through the blood sword and cleaved Bolan in two at the shoulder!
"You—how did you discover that this is my true self!"
A look of horror flashed in Bolan's eyes.
According to his teacher, his Law Comprehension was no weaker than Law Comprehension of World Lord Level. He could freely change the positions of thousands of Phantom Body. However, he never expected that Rong Jun could accurately find his position from among so many Phantom Body. The key was that the slash was too fast, so fast that he couldn't react!
"Because of space!"
Rong Jun remained calm and spoke slowly.
"Your talent in Law of Space is strong, but your grasp of them is too superficial. Your Phantom Body can fool others, but they can't fool me. Of course—if you encounter Luo Feng, the same thing will happen."
After saying this, before Bolan could react, Rong Jun struck again, ending the battle with a single strike.
When he reappeared, Bolan's body had fully recovered, but the mental trauma he had suffered was far from over.
"The application of Law of Space is too superficial!"
He muttered to himself.
The memory of Rong Jun's slash echoed in his mind.
A single, exquisite strike; a dazzling, breathtaking strike.
That single strike demonstrated the application of Law of Space—
Bolan ignored the conversations of others in the square and paid no attention to the battles on the other arenas; the image of that one slash remained solely in his mind.
After a long while, a sword light, extremely fast, similar to the one Rong Jun had used, slashed down!
This dazzling sword strike, though not as perfect as Rong Jun's previous slash, was already showing some promise!
"This Bolan is truly a genius of Law of Space. He actually grasped the threshold of the essence of Space Origin Law from Rong Jun's use of that sword strike!"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, his gaze towards Bolan revealing an expression of appreciation.
Bolan isn't very strong, not even making it into the top five, but that doesn't mean he lacks talent. On the contrary, among all the people present, aside from the unpredictable Xinyan, Bolan should be the most talented.
If given the same conditions as others, Rong Jun and Luo Feng would most likely be no match for Bolan.
"It's good to fail once. Too much success makes it harder to achieve great things!"
After this setback in the Genius Battle, Lu Qingshan believed that Bolan's personality would definitely change.
All the fighting is over.
One of the top five geniuses in the universe has been born.
The five people's names are Xinyan, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Wuka, and Baihua.
Of all the people, the most surprising was Baihua.
An ordinary-looking human woman.
During the Trial Tower phase, she only made it to the Sixth Trial Tower, but now she has broken into the top five in the universe.
She wasn't particularly strong, but she was matched with even weaker opponents, which is how she luckily became one of the top five in the universe.
After the five are selected, the final round-robin tournament will begin.
As expected.
In the four matches where she fought against other opponents, Baihua lost all of them, ultimately ranking fifth in the universe.
Wuka one win and three losses, ranking fourth.
Rong Jun finished third with two wins and two losses.
Luo Feng has three wins and one loss, ranking second.
Xinyan has won all the battles and is ranked number one!
Of the five, only Baihua was eliminated and entered the Primordial Secret Realm. Although the other four were ranked in order, they were all taken into the Primal Secret Region.
With this, all the matches of this year's Peak Genius Tournament have concluded!
