The Thirteenth World Zone.

Chen Yi was teleported to this World Zone. He stood on the "Aurora Shuttle," a psychic weapon based on the Law of Light, with the "Yan Shen Armament" floating behind him.

Looking back over the past four weeks.

This World Zone is actually a desert planet.

According to the information, it is modeled after a planet called "Shabao Planet" within the territory of the Ganwu Universe Country, which is a mineral planet.

Beneath the desert lie some rare minerals.

The planet's surface is covered only with small, brown rocky cliffs and endless dust; there is no vegetation or life whatsoever.

There is absolutely no water on this planet.

There are only eighty-one mine ruins. The area he is currently in is the upper part of the former seventeenth mine area.

In terms of gravity, this planet has a stronger gravity than Earth.

But Star Level are still capable of flight.

"It's so spacious!"

"If we fly a little higher, we'll see a vast expanse of terrain; there's nowhere left to hide."

"The only place to hide is in the mine, but there are few entrances and exits, so hiding inside could easily make you a sitting duck."

After observing the situation, Chen Yi concluded that the environment of his Thirteenth World Zone was not suitable for hiding or concealing oneself, but it was very suitable for the strong to eliminate others.

In this way, you can earn points.

[Contestant: Chen Yi (Ganwu Universe Country)]

[Points: 0]

[Rank: None]

[World Zone: World Zone 13]

Chen Yi's Universe Country is no longer that of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire; he will change his nationality upon entering the Ganwu Secret Realm.

The qualifiers last for a month.

"Let them fight it out first, and I'll reap the rewards later." Chen Yi sat cross-legged on the ground and began cultivating.

They also used the Cloud Raising Mirror to observe the situation on Luo Feng's side.

Luo Feng's area, District 99, has a better environment. It's an ocean planet with many marine creatures and various underwater caves, which can be used to hide and cultivate in seclusion. However, given Luo Feng's level, he won't have any rivals in the preliminary rounds.

The environmental impact will not be significant.

Time passed day by day.

Outside, countless Undying are paying attention to Chen Yi. Just among the ten thousand Undying under the Demon Ganwu Country Lord, at least half are personally following or have arranged for others to keep an eye on Chen Yi's situation.

The others I haven't paid attention to are simply because I've been busy with other matters and haven't been following any news in recent years.

Those Undying who were watching the battle were not surprised that Chen Yi did not start a massacre at the beginning.

After all.

The real crucial moment comes later in the qualifiers.

If you defeat your opponent, you will gain half of their points. That is, if you can defeat the number one player and inherit half of their points, your ranking will jump directly to the top, and there will be no need for you to go through the trouble of killing many opponents.

It's already the seventh day of the qualifiers.

Chen Yi currently only has a few thousand points... These are all from opponents who came close to his secluded cultivation place, forcing him to take action and kill them, thus gaining points.

The environment of this planet is very conducive to finding other powerful individuals.

Chen Yi was in no hurry to make a move.

But...

A three-meter-tall, Savage young man with messy hair was flying towards the direction where he was hiding and cultivating.

His nickname was "The Savage".

During this week, he relentlessly hunted down powerful individuals, earning a reputation across a vast area, and is currently ranked 23rd in the points rankings.

Someone is approaching.

Chen Yi opened his eyes. He stepped onto the Aurora Shuttle and soared into the air... looking at the Savage young man in the distance.

His gaze narrowed slightly.

Rong Jun?!

Chen Yi recognized the person, based on the written description from his past life and some basic information about Rong Jun that he had obtained from "Tong Sheng" in this life.

He recognized Rong Jun at a glance.

Chen Yi immediately gave the order, "Cloud Raising Mirror, record this person's consciousness and will information for me."

Before the Cloud Raising Mirror can bind to a cloud nourishing object, it must record the other person's consciousness and will information. Before recording, the person or their cloud nourishing object needs to be near the target. This recording can be the other person's main body, Clone, Divine Power Avatar, etc.

It is sufficient to include its will or consciousness.

Consciousnesses that have logged into the Virtual Universe can naturally be recorded.

However, I don't have the qualifications for cloud-based nurturing yet, so I can only collect Rong Jun's information for now. Once I have the qualifications, I can bind him as my cloud-based nurturing partner.

"You don't seem afraid of me?"

Rong Jun looked at the white-clad youth who had suddenly appeared, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. In the surrounding area, anyone who had even the slightest contact with others would have heard of his fearsome reputation Savage.

However, what he didn't know was that Chen Yi hadn't contacted anyone at all.

Everyone who's met him has already been eliminated by him.

We barely had a chance to speak.

Chen Yi heard Rong Jun's words. He had previously asked Tong Sheng to help find Rong Jun, but there had been no clues. Of course, this was also because he hadn't deliberately searched for Rong Jun.

After all, there are no new qualifications for cloud-based parenting, so there's no benefit in deliberately searching for them.

It still seems a bit abnormal.

Otherwise, given his position, he would certainly have been able to find Rong Jun.

Now that they've met, they're bound to have to deal with each other. Chen Yi thought about Rong Jun's personality and felt that... they should have a fight first. In the original story, Rong Jun's friendship with Luo Feng was also because he admired Luo Feng's strength.

"Enough talk, let's fight!"

Chen Yi summoned the Yan Shen Armament.

He easily unleashed the first level of the Yan Shen Armament, "Phantom Sword Style," which was not his limit. Based on his Law Comprehension, the first level of Phantom Sword Style was enough to deal with Rong Jun.

Rong Jun grinned; he liked this man's straightforwardness.

He took out his dagger.

With his three-meter-tall frame, even the short knife he used was actually a rather large "long knife".

The Earth Domain unfolds.

"Prepare to die!" Rong Jun, wielding his War Blade and barefoot, strode forward, arriving in the area where Chen Yi was in a flash.

However..

The moment the broadsword was swung down.

A flash of white light.

Chen Yi's figure disappeared.

When Rong Jun opened his eyes again, Chen Yi was already hundreds of meters away. At the same time, a golden sword rainbow flashed behind him and stabbed directly at his throat, leaving him stunned.

That golden sword...

It was pressed against Rong Jun's throat.

"This... I didn't realize it?"

A look of surprise appeared in Rong Jun's eyes. His greatest skill was swordsmanship, and he was hiding his trump card... but his second greatest skill was movement.

At his level, one can travel hundreds or even thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.

But he was completely unaware that Rong Jun was filled with fear at that moment. He knew that even if he stopped hiding his trump cards in swordsmanship, he could only withstand a few more moves from this person at most.

If the opponent is overconfident and doesn't eliminate you immediately, there's no chance to salvage the situation.

Having only ranked in the top 200 on the seventh day of the preliminaries, and then being eliminated with half his points deducted, can he still make it into the top 1,000?

However, the young man in white simply spoke calmly:

"There are some obvious problems with your use of Law of Space in your movement techniques... Anyone with a slightly higher level of Law of Space can sense your strong spatial fluctuations before you even move and predict your final location in advance."

Chen Yi silently evaluated the situation, then moved slightly, mimicking Rong Jun's movements and demonstrating the correct application of the principles, thus conducting a comparative lesson.

Rong Jun's gaze narrowed slightly.

This person.

They were actually teaching him how to correct the flaws in his movement techniques?

"Did you understand?" Chen Yi asked. In his eyes, Rong Jun was one of his potential protégés, so it was worth taking the time to teach him some things in advance.

Rong Jun looked puzzled, but nodded nonetheless.

"Okay, if you understand, that's good. I see you're quite skilled. Get to know me after you leave. You can find me at any Ganwu Dojo in the Virtual Universe. My name Chen Yi... Now, go and continue with the preliminary rounds." Chen Yi said calmly.

Rong Jun couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to eliminate me?"

"You're quite capable; it's a bit of a pity you're eliminated now. Keep it up... and strive to bring glory to our Ganwu Universe Country." Chen Yi turned and left.

Rong Jun was left somewhat bewildered.

He recalled the golden sword pressed against his throat, its golden light sharp and incomparably destructive, imbued with his understanding of the Law of Metal.

In addition.

This person's Law of Space are far stronger than his; otherwise, how could he have helped him find the flaws in his movement techniques?

"I was hoping to win first place in the Genius Battle... looks like that's out of the question."

"Chen Yi..."

Rong Jun etched this name deep into his heart.

Many Undying outside witnessed this battle. Chen Yi's application of the laws in this battle was fleeting, but it allowed many Undying to glean some insights.

"A very good application of Law of Space."

"It's a pity... the battle went too fast, and he didn't get to show his skills much."

The Virtual Universe projection camera in the preliminary rounds cannot allow participants to personally experience the laws governing each individual; their observations can only be based on their own experience.

Furthermore, since Chen Yi did not use any signature secret techniques, the Undying could only compare the two's true Law Comprehension based on their performances.

All they could tell was that Chen Yi's strength was indeed extraordinary.

No one underestimated Chen Yi...

After all, the Ganwu Country Lord made that kind of request, so Chen Yi must have some extraordinary skills and tricks up his sleeve that he hasn't revealed yet.

Time passed day by day.

There are only ten days left in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yi then emerged from his cultivation and unleashed a massacre in District 13. On this mineral planet, it was difficult for even the most talented individuals to hide.

He started searching one by one.

Find out who's at the top of the leaderboard and go after them one by one.

No.6, No.9, No.1... From No.2 to Xinpu's No.1... One by one, high-ranking players were eliminated. In a short period of time, Chen Yi reached the top of the World Zone.

A commanding lead in points!

They have firmly secured their first-place position.

The battle itself was too easy for Chen Yi; it was the journey and the search for each enemy that took him so much effort.

On Luo Feng's side, he also won first place in the 99th World Zone. Surprisingly, there were no particularly strong experts in the 99th World Zone; he completely crushed the strongest ones.

If Luo Feng hadn't existed...

They'd probably be able to take the top spot even in the weakest World Zone.

Rong Jun finished 9th in the World Zone. After being defeated by Chen Yi, he did not try to improve his ranking.

He knew he was no match for Chen Yi, and apart from the first place winner, the other 1001 were all in the same boat, having to participate in the subsequent arena battles. Therefore, he began to focus on training his movement techniques.

The qualifiers are now over.

Rong Jun was very curious about who Chen Yi was and how he could be so strong. So... he began searching for information about Chen Yi in the Virtual Universe.

The search returned a message.

Chen Yi... is a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord! This news has been circulating widely recently, and many people know about it.

"A disciple of the Universe Country Lord?!" Rong Jun was truly shocked, and finally understood why he had lost.

Even with the legacy left by his Undying father.

How could he possibly compare to the disciples of the Universe Country Lord? After all, the champion of the Genius Battle is often far inferior to the disciples of the Universe Country Lord.

"No wonder, so he's a disciple trained by the Universe Country Lord."

As Rong Jun was pondering this, he received a message in his email.

The content is:

"Hello, I'm Chen Yi. We met during the qualifiers, and I think you're quite capable. I've come to invite you to join my organization, the 'Mutual Aid Alliance.'"

The purpose of my organization is—

"The strong lead the strong, and share cultivation secrets with me. He's the disciple of the Universe Country Lord! He's so strong, why would he share secrets and cultivation treasures with me?" Rong Jun was truly dumbfounded.

He had never met such a selfless person, or was there something fishy going on?
