Inside the Treasure Pavilion of the Virtual Universe.

"My lord, I did as you instructed to deliberately provoke Lu Qingshan, but that fellow is a coward and doesn't dare to fight me at all!"

Blood Pupil gazed at the imposing figure opposite him with adoration.

As Yang had guessed, the Blood Pupil was nothing more than a watchdog.

"I guess I'm overthinking it..."

Kunshaluo rubbed his temples, a hint of weariness flashing in his eyes.

These past few years have been utterly Heartforce for him...

The Treasure Pavilion, a large company he founded and which was even listed on the stock exchange in the Ganwu Universe Country, collapsed without a trace.

The stock price plummeted, forcing the company to delist.

All stores outside of the Ganwu Continent were closed to prevent retaliation from that mysterious person...

The investment deal negotiated with the Ganwu Universe Country Commerce Department of the Virtual Universe Company naturally came to nothing.

Kunshaluo was seething with hatred for the guy who attacked his Treasure Pavilion, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The other party would fire and move on to a different location, and was exceptionally perceptive. He staked out several of the larger branches of the Treasure Pavilion, but never encountered them once.

During this time, Kunshaluo thought of all his enemies, but still couldn't figure out who was behind it.

Lu Qingshan was naturally also within his consideration.

After all, Lu Qingshan is also at the World Lord level. He might use some method to secretly evade his surveillance and attack the Treasure Pavilion... However, the more times it is attacked, the less suspicious Lu Qingshan will become.

The opponent's strength was far beyond what a newbie like Lu Qingshan, who had just entered the World Lord, could compare to.

However, he did not completely dispel his suspicions about Lu Qingshan.

After all, it's true that Kunshaluo has offended many people, but after he joined the Ganwu Country Lord's ranks, none of them dared to openly oppose him. They'd lived in peace for so many years, so why did he only face repeated retaliation after provoking Lu Qingshan?

That's too much of a coincidence.

That's why we're testing each other today.

Inside the spectator hall.

One by one, the World Lord and mentors exclaimed in amazement.

" Ling Yu is too strong. She used the Second Layer the Wind Thunder Sword so easily. Those seven geniuses at the eighth or ninth level of the Domain attacked her, but they were killed in one move. There is no doubt that she is the number one in the 12th World Zone."

"Yes, Princess Ling Yu is definitely number one in the World Zone. With her strength, participating in the arena would be a waste of her time. She would be better off continuing to cultivate in the secret realm for another three years."

In the video.

After dealing with her opponents, Ling Yu traveled through the cities of the 12 World Zone. She no longer carried out large-scale massacres, but instead focused on the strong individuals in each city.

After all, more than ten days have passed since the selection competition, and the strong players in each city have a huge number of points, making it more efficient to kill them!

Ling Yu's points are already in first place by a huge margin, there's no suspense left...

" Parisi is not bad. He's currently ranked 521st. As long as he doesn't encounter any opponents who have crossed the threshold of the Laws, making it into the arena will be a breeze..."

Yang commented on Lu Qingshan's disciples.

Parisi's points continued to rise, and the number of Star Level players who had died at his hands had exceeded 100,000.

He was lucky; he didn't encounter any opponents who had stepped into the threshold of the laws. He just needed to hold on for a few more days, and even if he was killed, his points would still allow him to remain in the top 1001 and pass the preliminary rounds.

"That Lei Ming guy... wait, Lei Ming's in for a world of trouble!"

Hearing Yang's reminder, Lu Qingshan switched his perspective to his disciple Lei Ming.

Deep in the mountains and forests.

Lei Ming darted swiftly through the dense forest, pursued by a blond boy riding a Spirit Power weapon.

"Don't struggle, you can't escape my Pei En's grasp."

The boy waved his hand.

The Spirit Power weapon, the Cloud Cloud-Piercing Shuttle into countless sharp swords, stabbing fiercely towards Lei Ming's back.

Golden swords, like a meteor shower.

"This young man is actually a genius who has stepped into the Metal Origin Law. Although he has only grasped a Origin Law, Lei Ming is definitely no match for him. The key is that this guy is also Spirit Reader, so he can't escape..."

Yang turned to look at Lu Qingshan and found that Lu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged.

He continued, "Let me check this young man's information... Hmm, he's actually a genius from the Giant Dragon Universe Country. It's a pity that such a genius hasn't joined our Ganwu Mystic Region. However, after the Genius Battle, we'll definitely bring him into the secret realm."

The geniuses who have stepped into the Origin Law, the three Immortal of the Ganwu Mystic Region, will not allow them to wander outside.

This is not an invitation, but a mandatory requirement to join the Ganwu Mystic Region, unless you have the ability to become one of the top 1,000 in the entire universe and join the core of the Virtual Universe.

"However, this Pei En only possesses a trace of the Metal Origin Law. Reaching the top one thousand in the Ganwu Universe Country will likely be his peak."

Lu Qingshan did not doubt Yang's words.

Throughout the entire universe, there are at least 500,000 geniuses who have participated in the Genius Battle and stepped into the threshold of the Origin Law! Among so many geniuses, his understanding of the Origin Law is completely insufficient to break into the top 1,000!

"Damn it, I don't have many points on me at all, why are you chasing me!"

Lei Ming's body instantly transformed into three Phantom Body, narrowly dodging the attack of the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle. The next moment, his body shifted into one of the Phantom Body to the left, continuing his escape.

Pei En in the sky continued the chase, showing no intention of letting Pei En Lei Ming go. "Passing the preliminaries is a piece of cake for me... Only hunting down a master like you can excite me!"

"Neuropathy!!"

Lei Ming dodged another attack with a somersault, and the large tree behind him collapsed with a crash.

In this 88th World Zone, the trees are incredibly sturdy; a single strike from an ordinary Star Level wouldn't leave a mark, demonstrating the sheer power of this attack...

"Thank goodness we're in this primeval forest. If it were any other World Zone, Lei Ming would probably be dead by now."

Hearing Yang's evaluation, Lu Qingshan nodded. Whether or not one has comprehended the Origin Law is a completely different world. Even with the Ninth Level of the Domain the Lei Ming Domain and having learned the Thunderlight Flash, one is still unable to resist a genius who has entered the realm of Origin Law.

"However, a miracle might still happen..."

Lu Qingshan said in a low voice.

As his eldest disciple, Lu Qingshan knew Lei Ming better. His talent might not be as great as Parisi and Ling Yu's, but he had the ability to create miracles when facing the limits.

Just like back on the Illusory Color Star, in the face of life and death, he comprehended a domain and turned the tables on his opponent.

Now, it's perfect timing, the same conditions again... Ninth Level of the Domain... Possessing the Thunderlight Flash movement technique, which involves the Lightning Origin Law... and that Purple Jade Mystic Lightning Crystal...

Lei Ming went into seclusion to cultivate after entering the arena, which may mean he had already gained some understanding before the competition.

"Brother Qingshan, do you really think Lei Ming can turn the tables and kill us?"

Yang shook his head upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words... His younger brother was good in every way, except that he trusted his disciple too much.

For a martial artist at the Ninth Level of the Domain a cultivation realm to try and kill a Spirit Reader has comprehended the Origin Law, what's the difference between that and talking in one's sleep...?

"Boom..."

Another explosion rocked the ground, creating a crater tens of meters wide. Lei Ming narrowly dodged again; he had pushed his three Phantom Body to their limits once more...

at the same time.

The capital of the Giant Dragon Empire.

Tens of thousands of powerful figures have gathered in the Virtual Universe to watch the match, and their support is, of course, for the pride of their Giant Dragon Empire, the Holy Sword Pei En.

The Third Prince, Kuntu, who had previously crossed paths with Lu Qingshan at the Ganwu Auction, shouted excitedly.

" Pei En, go! Take him down!"

"Sigh... how did that one-horned brat get away again? Holy Sword Pei En, you are the pride of our Giant Dragon Empire, kill him!!"

"Alright, mistress... be quiet."

From the main seat, a burly man in an imperial robe and crown spoke in a low voice.

"Father, I'm just worried about Pei En. It's been so long, and we still haven't gotten rid of that brat. Is that guy some kind of slippery eel? He's so slippery..."

Kuntu stared, somewhat dissatisfied with Pei En's performance.

"Little San, don't underestimate the others. That one-horned youth is at the peak of the Ninth Level of the Domain, and his movement technique is exceptionally powerful... It seems to be the manual called ' Thunderlight Flash ' that our Imperial Academy recently collected. Rumor has it that this manual was created by a Special-Class Instructor from the Ganwu Mystic Region. For him to have cultivated to this level, he must be an elite of the Ganwu Mystic Region... Pei En lacks combat experience, so it's normal that he can't quickly defeat such a genius."

"Yes, Third Prince... Don't worry, there won't be any surprises. If it weren't for the complex terrain of the 88th World Zone, the Holy Sword Pei En would have already taken the top spot in the World Zone."

"Haha, watching Pei En hunt down a genius from the Ganwu Mystic Region Realm is quite a show."

"Let's drink! Our Giant Dragon Empire has produced a genius like Pei En! Cheers!!"
