Luo Feng: My Goal Is to Outshine Bolan!

In the Virtual Universe, at the Ganwu Dojo headquarters on Black Dragon Mountain Island.

From the speed with which Luo Feng dispatched his opponents, World Lord Xuanyu saw at a glance that Luo Feng had already mastered a Third-Stage Domain.

The Star Torch Body-Burning Record formed a domain using the principles of a Secret Pattern Diagram.

But in essence, it was identical to a normal domain. A mere World Lord naturally could not tell the difference between the two. In World Lord Xuanyu's eyes, Luo Feng had mastered a Triple Domain.

A genius with World Lord Level potential, certain to become a Domain Lord.

This new student named Luo Feng is practically guaranteed to clear the Trial Tower. I need to report this to the Ganwu Secret Realm.

Hmm?

This kid has cultivated for such a short time?

Clearing the Trial Tower earned one a potential assessment by the Ganwu Secret Realm, but it did not guarantee admission. This was to prevent people from deliberately remaining at a certain realm just to join the Ganwu Secret Realm...

But when World Lord Xuanyu saw the real age Luo Feng had recorded upon joining the dojo, he was stunned.

A Star Level cultivator had a lifespan of one era, or 10,081 years.

Reaching Star Level First Stage and mastering a Triple Domain in less than twenty years naturally showed different potential from achieving the same thing in close to ten thousand years.

Someone like this would absolutely be selected by the Ganwu Secret Realm!

The former chill in World Lord Xuanyu's eyes gave way to appreciation.

How is this merely World Lord potential? If this kid hasn't used some cultivation shortcut that diminishes his potential, reaching this point in such a short time means he'll definitely become a World Lord!

He even has a slight chance of becoming an Immortal!

Among humanity's five great powers, a World Lord like him would certainly not count as an expert, but within the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he was already a regional overlord.

In the image high overhead.

Luo Feng charged into the sixth floor and began a grueling battle.

The sixth floor of the Ganwu Trial, as set up by the Ganwu Dojo, was quite difficult.

The guardian monster on the sixth floor was an enormous demonic beast, an Illusory Rainbow Divine Deer, a fairly well-known kind among the demon race.

A Third-Stage Domain was the minimum requirement to clear the floor. Luo Feng's Mental Power Amplitude and secret techniques were both good, but killing the monster instantly to clear the floor was naturally unlikely. Even so, he had already gained a very clear upper hand.

Although Luo Feng had yet to clear it.

World Lord Xuanyu, having read his file, had already used his authority to report the matter to an Immortal in the Ganwu Secret Realm.

Chen Yi was also watching from below the raised platform. He thought that if he went up there, he should be able to kill the sixth-floor guardian monster quickly.

After all, he had twice the comprehension thanks to his Starry Firmament Hibernation One Clone.

He had already mastered the third stage of the Metal Domain, and with the Star Torch Body-Burning Record, he could even unleash a Fourfold Domain.

Such was the power of the Cloud Raising Mirror.

Judging solely by Luo Feng's age and level, there was nothing wrong with World Lord Xuanyu's assessment of him.

During Luo Feng's first ten-odd years, his cultivation resources had fallen far short of those available to many geniuses in the universe, leaving him far behind early on... Over the past year or so, because of Chen Yi's appearance and a series of opportunities, including obtaining the Yunmo Star Inheritance and taking over the Golden Horned Beast's body.

Only then had he caught up.

From here on, however, with the Golden Horned Beast's innate affinity for the Law of Metal, and Luo Feng's comprehension and diligence, he would progress even faster.

Even without further opportunities, his potential was far greater than the World Lord potential and possibility of becoming an Immortal that World Lord Xuanyu had spoken of.

Luo Feng soon dealt with the guardian monster on the Trial Tower's final floor.

He had cleared the Trial Tower.

When he reappeared at the Ganwu Dojo in the Virtual Universe, the other students in the arena looked at him in an entirely different way.

They did not know how long Luo Feng had cultivated.

But they knew that, at the very least, Luo Feng would become a Domain Lord-level expert in the future and had World Lord potential. In the region of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Someone like that... was already at a level they could only look up to.

After the Genius Battle in the original story, Domain Lords were practically lackeys in the Virtual Universe Company.

But that was the Genius Battle!

It was the perspective of geniuses from all across humanity in the universe who gathered to compete, each of them rising through humanity's fastest path to advancement.

In the real universe, a Domain Lord could already be called a mighty figure.

After all, the owner of Qiu Long Star and the rulers of some elementary cosmic civilizations were merely Domain Lords!

The chill had also left World Lord Xuanyu's face. Smiling, he swiftly moved his serpentine tail to reach Luo Feng and said with a smile:

"Luo Feng, I've already reported your information to the Ganwu Secret Realm. Please don't be in a hurry to leave..."

"If you want to join a faction."

"In the entire Ganwu Universe Country, there's no power more valuable to you than the Ganwu Secret Realm."

Babata saw the envy and admiration in the eyes of the dojo students as they looked at Luo Feng, as well as the change in World Lord Xuanyu's attitude, and could not help thinking with emotion:

If only my master hadn't been so solitary.

If he had chosen to join the Ganwu Dojo and serve under the Ganwu Country Lord as well... with my master's strength, his life definitely wouldn't have ended so easily.

At that moment, Chen Yi also stepped forward. "Senior, I'd like to take the Ganwu Trial too."

"You're taking it too?" World Lord Xuanyu was taken aback and looked at Luo Feng. He remembered that the two seemed to have joined the Ganwu Dojo together.

"Senior, this is my friend. He's a little stronger than me. If we need to pay for the trial, we have Ganwu Coins too," Luo Feng said immediately.

A little stronger than Luo Feng?

World Lord Xuanyu glanced at their records. As far as cultivation time went, there seemed to be little difference between Luo Feng and Chen Yi. Both had cultivated for a very short time...

So he said:

"No need, no need. Since you say so, Luo Feng, the fee is just a formality. I'll cover it."

"Go on!"

Chen Yi also disappeared from the dojo.

Ganwu Universe Country, Ganwu Secret Realm.

The Ganwu Secret Realm was also a hive of activity now. The Immortals had been giving lectures more and more frequently, and those who performed well received greater supplies of cultivation resources.

This also brought one thing to the minds of countless students.

That was...

The Genius Battle!

According to the schedule, the Genius Battle was approaching, with only a few years left!

"Have we found any promising geniuses recently?" Tong Man, an Immortal Expert of the Ape-man Race and one of the Ganwu Secret Realm's instructors, asked his subordinate.

His subordinate was a serpent-man World Lord.

World Lord Xuanlin shook his head:

"I've already searched the various intermediate civilizations throughout the Universe Country, but I haven't found any promising geniuses."

"There are very few geniuses who can even enter our Ganwu Secret Realm."

Hearing his subordinate's report, Tong Man waved him away.

The Genius Battle was held once every five thousand years. How many geniuses could emerge in five thousand years? The more outstanding a genius was, the more powers generally stood behind them, and the more restraints they faced. Recruiting them... was not easy.

Besides, Grandmaster also hopes to recruit some geniuses with clean backgrounds.

Tong Man shook his head.

The grandmaster he spoke of was none other than the Ganwu Country Lord.

Tong Man's teacher was a King-level Immortal who spent most of his time tempering himself away from home. Tong Man, on the other hand, preferred a more settled life, so he had come to his grandmaster, the Ganwu Country Lord's territory, to serve as a teacher in the Ganwu Secret Realm, giving lectures and training disciples.

Before long...

Another of Tong Man's subordinates, World Lord Xuanyu, who was of the same race as World Lord Xuanlin, sent him a report. Tong Man's heart stirred when he saw the message.

Immediately.

He logged into the Virtual Universe and selected the Ganwu Dojo on Black Dragon Mountain Island.

As soon as he entered the dojo, he sensed that the atmosphere was off. Almost everyone was staring fixedly at the sky. Tong Man looked up.

It was:

The fifth floor of the Ganwu Trial.

Countless blades flew through the air, instantly killing the fifth-floor guardian monster. Immediately afterward, Chen Yi, dressed in white in the image high overhead.

Stepped onto the sixth floor.

Tong Man watched Chen Yi and saw that he had a Fourth-Level Domain!

"Lord Tong Man, this is Luo Feng, Star Level First Stage with a Third-Stage Domain. The one taking the trial now is Chen Yi. You should already be able to see his realm and domain. The two came together, and both are extremely outstanding geniuses!" World Lord Xuanyu said, bringing Luo Feng over to Tong Man.

"Less than twenty years of cultivation, and they've reached the third and fourth stages of the Metal Domain..."

"These two geniuses are even faster than I was in my early cultivation. With enough opportunities, they have every hope of becoming Immortals!" A smile appeared on Tong Man's face.

Luo Feng also noticed the ape-man senior and secretly looked forward to what would happen.

But then he saw some regret appear on Tong Man's face. Tong Man patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and said with emotion:

"What a pity..."

"You two were born at the wrong time. There's too little time left before the Genius Battle."

"You're destined to miss this Genius Battle. You can only cultivate diligently in our Ganwu Secret Realm, see if you can reach the Universe Level, and try to place near the top in the next Universe Level Strongest Battle."

Prepare for the next Strongest Battle?

Luo Feng thought that would not do.

If that was the case, he would have to keep working hard.

He remembered the goal Senior Yun had given him and Chen Yi: to take part in the Genius Battle, outshine the opponent named Bolan, and claim first and second place in the entire universe!
