The Geniuses Gather, Bolan: Let's See If You Can Catch Up to Me!

The Ganwu Country Lord was skeptical of Chen Yi's confidence, but Chen Yi sent him updates on his progress in Law Comprehension of space.

After he had read it.

He couldn't help but admit that his disciple's progress had completely exceeded his expectations. At this rate of cultivation, Bolan was indeed no match for his disciple...

It's even far inferior!

Some time passed.

Within the Ganwu Universe Country, the three-year arena Reincarnation Battle is about to end.

In Virtual Universe.

Chen Yi was also cultivating the "Ten Thousand Line Flow". When he used the secret technique, more than 8,000 Phantom Body flashed around him. And this... was not Chen Yi's full strength. In fact, he was already close to the level of the Ten Thousand Line Flow.

The intensity of doubled comprehension far exceeds imagination.

Especially in cultivating lower-level Law Comprehension, there are almost no bottlenecks; with a little study, one can grasp the essence.

With over eight thousand Phantom Body alone, Chen Yi had already surpassed Bolan in terms of movement techniques, which Bolan excelled at.

Bolan also only had Thousand Illusion Body.

However, in the Genius Battle, Bolan already had a significant lead because of this, since in the original storyline, other geniuses couldn't even use the secret techniques at the Hundred Line Flow level.

Luo Feng also mastered the Nine Line Flow in the Trial Tower.

Now.

Chen Yi cultivates the three laws simultaneously: the Law of Metal, the Law of Space, and the Law of Light. In terms of secret techniques and other methods, he is a level above Bolan.

"Luo Feng, did you see that...?"

"You should mainly learn the techniques of using body movements. Once you master the techniques, with your current Law Comprehension, reaching the level of hundreds of Phantom Body will be a piece of cake."

"It can go even further."

Chen Yi approached Luo Feng, while Rong Jun, standing beside him, showed no shock.

Because..

He's gotten used to it over the past three years.

Everyone outside says that Rong Jun is extremely strong, possibly the second strongest in the Ganwu Universe Country, but only Rong Jun himself knows that three years ago, Luo Feng's strength was about the same as his.

Now.

The Reincarnation Battle is about to end, and over the past three years, Luo Feng has gradually left him behind.

As for Chen Yi, Luo Feng Chen Yi Rong Jun had no intention of surpassing or being jealous of Chen Yi. In their eyes, Chen Yi being stronger meant that they were all stronger as a whole!

In recent years.

In the name of "leader of the Mutual Aid Alliance", Chen Yi has been providing them with assistance, taking time to explain the application of some rules to them, and helping them wholeheartedly.

Therefore, Rong Jun was well aware that although the outside world thought he was at least the second strongest in the Universe Country, in reality he could not defeat Chen Yi and Luo Feng, and was at most the third strongest.

"These are Bolan's files. You two take a look. Bolan is hailed as the one destined to be number one in the Genius Battle."

Chen Yi also passed on the information about Bolan given to him by the Ganwu Country Lord to the two of them.

Upon hearing the name Bolan, Luo Feng's expression shifted, and he immediately looked up Bolan's information. He had worked so hard for so long, all for the sake of defeating Bolan.

This is the goal set by Senior Yun.

This was also his expectation; if he couldn't even defeat Bolan, how could he continue on the path of cultivation, and how could he keep growing stronger?

In the message provided by Senior Yun predicting another timeline.

Without Senior Yun's help, he only had the Golden Horned Beast and his chosen Demon Killer Clan Clone to fight his way through countless hardships.

However, during the Genius Battle, he was still no match for Bolan because of his short training period.

They even lost to a guy named "Long Yun".

"This Bolan... is indeed very strong."

Luo Feng sensed some discrepancies in his heart, but these were still different from the information given by Senior Yun.

For example, the information only states that Bolan could cast hundreds of Phantom Body.

What Senior Yun said was that Bolan could actually unleash over a thousand Phantom Body, making him even stronger than the records indicated.

"It seems I should heed Senior Yun's advice and stay in the Trial Tower for a while longer to gain more time for cultivation; otherwise, defeating Bolan will still be quite difficult." Luo Feng had already made his plans.

After Rong Jun reviewed Bolan's information...

He also felt the invisible pressure, but he was becoming increasingly confident. Over the past three years, with the help of the "Void Spirit Refining Technique,"

He enhanced his talent in the Law of Earth, and also began researching the Law Essence Space.

This path is indeed difficult, even more difficult than his previous direct comprehension of the Law of Space.

But he also read the information... and knew that this path was indeed broader. If he wanted to avenge his father's murderer, then he would at least have to become a strong Undying.

Reaching a high level of Higher Laws in cultivating higher-level laws is a necessary goal.

September 5th, 2070 (Earth time).

Today is the day of the Genius Battle finals.

On a floating island in the Ganwu Continent, a group of geniuses gathered. Chen Yi, Luo Feng, Rong Jun all logged into the Virtual Universe and arrived at the plaza on the floating island.

"It is Prince Chen Yi, Prince Chen Yi."

"Next to him are Rong Jun and Luo Feng, right? They really are good friends in private..."

"That's right. I've heard that their 'Mutual Aid Alliance' shares everything—cultivation techniques, cultivation aids, everything—with each other. This kind of resource utilization is probably very helpful for improvement."

"I'm so envious! I wish I had such selfless companions."

The geniuses of the Ganwu Universe Country were all discussing behind the scenes. After seeing a large amount of information about these geniuses, they realized that they were just supporting characters.

1008 Universe Country, with one thousand participants from each Universe Country.

There are a total of one million contestants, more than half of whom have crossed the threshold of the Lower Laws, which means... more than 500,000 of them are at the level of members of the Ganwu Secret Realm!

But to put it another way...

In the entire Human Race, in the Genius Battle held once every five thousand years, nearly half of the top one million have failed to cross the threshold of the laws.

Countless humans.

Can you say that no one puts in the effort to cultivate? That's the difference in talent. Only when you have enough aptitude and opportunity does your effort have value.

An eight-meter-tall, scaled giant landed in the Virtual Universe, emanating an invisible pressure. He stepped onto the plaza.

This giant exuded a strong aura of blood, and the aura emanating from him instilled a deep-seated fear in nearly a thousand geniuses. This fear stemmed from the disparity in their life force and the absolute crushing power of their energy levels.

He is thirteen.

A trusted confidant of the Demon Ganwu Country Lord.

"Your Highness Chen Yi." The Scaled Giant Thirteen first looked at Chen Yi and greeted him respectfully.

Chen Yi nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the Scaled Giant Thirteen addressed the geniuses:

"I am Thirteen. You may call me Lord Thirteen."

"I will lead the team to take you to participate in the Genius Battle, where you will compete against geniuses from other Universe Country."

"In this Genius Battle, besides His Highness Chen Yi, only Rong Jun and Luo Feng are highly regarded by the King. As for the rest of you geniuses..."

There's not much hope.

Chen Yi looked around, not feeling complacent after being praised by Thirteen. He knew his own abilities and that only by making Luo Feng and Rong Jun stronger would his future be brighter. If his partner was capable enough.

He can grow even while lying down.

But if they can't keep up, then... his rate of improvement will also drop sharply.

In the blink of an eye.

"I have also stepped onto this stage of the universe's most watched Genius Battle."

"Genius Battle, Luo Feng and Rong Jun joined the Virtual Universe Company, which allowed them to progress even faster. The original storyline contained many Cosmic Secret Realm, hiding countless opportunities."

"And the known fortuitous events in the original plot."

We should make good use of this.

Chen Yi had already begun to consider his future plans.

Thirteen led his group through a teleportation array to a continent.

There are a total of 1008 buildings on the mainland. Chen Yi is very clear about this. Each building is the residence of a team from the Universe Country. Their Ganwu Universe Country was assigned to Building 0825.

"The delegation from the Ganwu Universe Country has arrived."

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Where is Chen Yi?

Upon hearing that the Ganwu Universe Country team had arrived, many geniuses from other Universe Country participating in the competition inquired about Chen Yi's whereabouts.

As a disciple of the Universe Country Lord, one naturally holds a noble position.

At the same time, they will be regarded as important rivals by countless geniuses.

"That one in white is Rong Jun, the Savage man next to him. He's also a favorite and has a chance to make it into the top ten."

As for the other one of the three, the one in black is called Luo Feng, and his strength should also be quite considerable.

"But... compared to Rong Jun and Chen Yi, Luo Feng is quite a bit inferior."

"However, Chen Yi and Luo Feng, it is said, have only cultivated for a short time, yet their strength is already so remarkable, their potential is astonishing, it's just a pity..."

He met Bolan.

Luo Feng heard the whispers, but he didn't care about what others said about him being inferior to Rong Jun. In his eyes, Rong Jun was already a friend, and they were both members of the Mutual Aid Alliance. In the future, they should take care of each other and improve together.

But... Bolan?

The Lord Thirteen distributed room tokens, throwing out one thousand tokens. The tokens were numbered according to their approximate ranking of strength, an unwritten rule, and therefore Chen Yi's was naturally number 1.

Luo Feng received the token.

His token...

It's number 2!

"Number 2? Why did the Lord Thirteen give the Number 2 token to Luo Feng? Shouldn't it have been given to Rong Jun?" In the eyes of the group of geniuses, based on the information they knew, the top three in the Ganwu Universe Country should be Chen Yi and Rong Jun. As for whether Luo Feng could actually be ranked third, that was still up for debate.

Chen Yi also noticed the changes in the others' emotions and teased, "Luo Feng, those guys seem quite puzzled as to why you got token number 2."

"That's because they don't know Luo Feng's strength." Rong Jun didn't care that he was the number 3 token; he knew he was not as strong as Luo Feng at the moment.

"Stop teasing me, you two... I'm still worried about whether I can actually defeat Bolan." Luo Feng said this, but in reality, his belief in defeating Bolan was very firm.

Given his rate of progress, as long as he makes the most of his time to train in the Trial Tower, he has a very high chance of defeating Bolan!

The Noah Universe Country's team.

Bolan received the "1" room token and prepared to go to his residence to rest. Just then, he overheard the discussions of the other Noah Universe Country contestants around him.

"Disciple of the Universe Country Lord?"

"Such a terrifying background? I've heard... even the champion of the Genius Battle, a being like the Universe Country Lord, wouldn't even look at him!"

"Yes, I heard it's because Chen Yi's cultivation period was short, but his potential is quite good... In addition, the ruler of the Ganwu Universe Country also has a hobby of cultivating geniuses, which is why he was accepted as a disciple by the Ganwu Country Lord."

Bolan heard these comments.

"It's Chen Yi again."

He had received information about Chen Yi from the official Noah Universe Country, Chen Yi had previously defeated the popular player "Rong Jun" in the World Zone.

He was also a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord.

Naturally... he is also one of the most eye-catching contestants in this year's Genius Battle.

The Undying who led the team earlier also privately spoke quite a bit to Bolan, the main point of which was:

He, "Reaper" Bolan, is definitely stronger than Chen Yi in terms of strength, but in terms of potential... that's hard to say.

Based on the level of those veteran Universe Country Lord take on disciples.

Firstly, personal preference or eye can be a factor. In terms of aptitude, disciples generally need to have at least the potential to become powerful, King-level Immortal.

Is your potential higher than mine?

Bolan was somewhat resentful as he stepped into this Genius Battle. One reason was to have a better training environment, and the second reason was... to see what other geniuses were like.

This is how we've come this far.

Bolan grew increasingly confident, believing that he had no rivals in the Noah Universe Country and was now hailed as the undisputed champion of the Genius Battle.

But what if you tell him that he's not as good as others in terms of potential?

"Your cultivation period has been short, yet you have reached a respectable level."

"They all say I can win the Genius Battle, but I'm not as potentialed as you... In that case, let's wait until after the Genius Battle."

Chen Yi.

"I'll see just how fast you can improve!"

"Can you catch up with me!"
