Bolan's gaze was fixed on the screen on his wrist; he was in a state of great anxiety.

Regarding the Genius Battle, there are levels that have been locked for thousands of years.

However, those who hold this view are all insecure about themselves, and they cannot be considered true geniuses. Very few of them can even make it into the top 1,000 of the Genius Battle.

Because true geniuses, even if they are born at the wrong time, will not deliberately stay at the Star Level for thousands of years. They will choose to break through to the Universe Level and then participate in the Universe Level Strongest Battle. They may not even participate in the Strongest Battle and directly enter the internal promotion channels of the five major forces.

That's the approach of a true genius.

Waiting for thousands of years?

There are many such people in the Ganwu Secret Realm; they are all geniuses of the Universe Country level.

People like Bolan, Rong Jun, Wuka, Gusiluo —the oldest of them were only three or four hundred years old.

Bolan was over a hundred years old, which was considered young among those ranked at the top.

But.

He knew even better that Chen Yi and Luo Feng were only in their early thirties. If they were on Earth, Bolan would be more than their great-grandfather.

"Looking back, it was my teacher who got me to participate in the Genius Battle."

He said that only at the Virtual Universe Company could he find a teacher who could continue to teach him.

Bolan looked away from the screen on his wrist, his heart filled with complex emotions. But the Trial Tower wasn't completely over yet, and he still had to continue his journey.

"I participated in the Genius Battle because I wanted to meet other geniuses."

"But after participating, everyone said I was the best in the entire universe, and I've already accepted that assessment. Now I can't even stand seeing others surpass me... Haha, I'm still too easily influenced by others."

"Kill them."

Bolan continued killing.

He would glance at the screen on his wrist every now and then; the points next to the names "Chen Yi" and "Luo Feng" increased rapidly each time, touching his heart.

He ultimately couldn't let go of his inner pride.

But reality always forces him to admit that he is indeed far behind Chen Yi, and that Luo Feng... judging from the speed at which his points are increasing, he shouldn't be much weaker than him.

It is a huge threat.

Chen Yi stepped into the seventh floor of the Sixth Trial Tower, gazing at the enormous Zerg Mother Nest, and began to create Zerg soldiers.

The Mother Emperor is hiding in the insect hive; the hive must be destroyed to kill Mother Emperor.

Golden beams flew out, combined and shattered the Zerg Mother Nest, annihilated the Zerg Mother Emperor inside, and stepped into the final Trial Tower.

In the Seventh Trial Tower.

The monsters guarding the pass were still the same types. Chen Yi Yan Shen Armament, unleashing their full power to sweep away the ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoth on the first level.

Second layer --

The third layer advanced with unstoppable momentum.

This development completely astonished the Undying outside, who watched intently, all understanding that they might be witnessing a new chapter in history.

A true top genius is rising.

Upon reaching the sixth level, Chen Yi's movements finally slowed down, becoming very slow... The intensity here made him feel a bit of pressure, and his progress began to decrease.

But the sixth floor couldn't stop him!

After clearing the level, Chen Yi arrived at the seventh floor once again. This time, it was the seventh floor of the Seventh Trial Tower, and also the final level of the Trial Tower. "This place is known as the impossible place to pass."

"It's on par with the Primal Heavenly Mountain."

Chen Yi looked towards the distant Zerg Mother Emperor, his body transforming into a beam of light as he swiftly flew away, Law of Light.

This was the first time he revealed his insights into the Law of Light during the Genius Battle.

However... he won't rely on the Law of Light to clear the Trial Tower.

"Go~"

Thousands of small golden swords flew out from the Yan Shen Armament... launching a series of combined attacks that annihilated a large number of Zerg soldiers.

At the same time, most of them were diverted to attack the Mother Nest.

But the Mother Nest remained completely still.

Immediately afterwards.

Hundreds more golden swords flew out from behind Chen Yi's Yan Shen Armament.

"Combine!"

A dense array of 1,600 golden swords flew out, and upon witnessing this scene, all the Undying outside who understood the Yan Shen Armament widened their eyes in astonishment.

"It can't be."

The most unlikely thing they ever thought had happened.

The 1,600 golden swords began to assemble, eventually forming a giant golden pillar ten meters tall.

The Fourth Layer the Yan Shen Armament - Great Ingenuity Without Artifice!

To unleash this level at a lower realm requires an extremely high Law Comprehension of Law of Metal and space; otherwise, it is simply impossible to achieve.

Chen Yi's use of this move proves that his current Law Comprehension has reached a terrifying level, a level that... makes it quite possible for him to pass the Trial Tower!

The news immediately began to spread rapidly.

Chaos City.

In the city lord's mansion, Venerable Guiyi, the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, frowned upon hearing his subordinates' report on this year's Genius Battle. As a Universe Overlord...

After reviewing Chen Yi's information, he understood what it meant.

If you can clear the Trial Tower... then it's almost equivalent to clearing the Primal Heavenly Mountain.

He muttered to himself:

"The Trial Tower is designed to be absolutely impossible to pass under normal circumstances, just like the Primal Heavenly Mountain; theoretically, no one should be able to pass it."

"Considering that the inheritances that geniuses in the universe can access are generally of poor quality."

"Ultimately, it was set up around the sixth floor of the Heavenly Bridge."

"This level of difficulty is almost impossible for Star Level being to achieve. Even though Chen Yi has been taught by the Ganwu Country Lord and may have been exposed to profound traditions, it is still terrifying that he was able to pass the test at this age."

"If he were given another two hundred years, the same amount of cultivation time as other geniuses..."

"It will inevitably become even more terrifying..."

"So... this is no less impressive than what Junior Brother Kedi did back then. The Venerable One might just be his lower limit. If he has another opportunity, he might be able to go even further."

Venerable Guiyi immediately reported this news to his teacher, the Chaos City Lord Chaos City Lord, who was in charge of all important human affairs.

The cultivation of geniuses is naturally of paramount importance.

The news of a potential Universe Venerable must be reported.

Inside the Trial Tower space.

"It's really sturdy!"

Even when Chen Yi unleashed this Fourth Layer of attack on the Zerg Mother Emperor's nest, it could only cause minor damage.

So...

Time passed.

Every day, Chen Yi was engaged in intense battles. He would kill the Zerg soldiers as soon as they were conceived to ensure they wouldn't be eliminated, and then take the time to attack the Zerg Mother Emperor.

And so the days went by.

In the finals plaza space of the external Virtual Universe, many Universe Country Lords and Universe Venerable have already arrived; they are in another space.

Everyone was watching. When Chen Yi used the Fourth Layer, he had already proven his extraordinary abilities, but whether he could pass the Trial Tower was still a matter of great interest.

Until...

In the early morning of the tenth day.

Zerg Mother Nest.

It's broken!

The Zerg Mother Emperor was revealed to be incredibly vulnerable.

"Die!"

Using Great Ingenuity Without Artifice, Chen Yi annihilated the last monster, and the battle... finally came to an end. This was the longest battle he had ever fought since embarking on the path of cultivation.

"It's over.."

In front of Chen Yi.

A large white door appeared.

"You have successfully completed the Trial Tower. Please exit the Trial Tower space through the door in front of you."

Chen Yi took a step forward.

He knew that his success in clearing the Trial Tower had caused a sensation in the outside world.

"I've really beat the game."

The Nine Swords Venerable felt a mix of emotions upon seeing Chen Yi pass the Trial Tower.

He was really looking forward to it.

Although Chen Yi had become a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, in terms of closeness, Nine Swords was certainly not as close as Ganwu. However, after joining the Virtual Universe Company, he was still under Nine Swords Venerable's command and directly subordinate to him.

But now...

Chen Yi's potential is too high. It would be easy for him to become a Venerable without dying in the future. His progress in the Law of Space is so fast, his talent in the Law of Space is too high, and he may very well master the complete Law of Space.

Once someone becomes a Venerable One, they can no longer be under his command.

At most, it's about forming a positive connection.

"Nine Swords, what do you think of my disciple?"

The Ganwu Country Lord laughed heartily, in a very good mood. The master-disciple relationship was extremely solid; no matter how strong his disciple was, he was still his teacher!

For him, the stronger Chen Yi was, the better.

When Chen Yi used his Great Ingenuity Without Artifice, he hadn't expected that since the last time he gave his disciple the materials, Chen Yi had reported on his cultivation progress. At that time, he had thought that his disciple might become his first Venerable disciple.

But at this age, he cleared the Trial Tower.

It's still somewhat unbelievable.

The many Universe Venerable present, gazing at the genuine smile on the Ganwu Country Lord, couldn't help but feel envious. Some of the older Universe Country Lord even secretly wondered if the Ganwu Country Lord had turned around.

The bad luck of the past has been swept away, and good luck has arrived.

Because these kinds of disciples are highly sought after.

Ordinary disciples might not be interested, but if someone's talent reaches a certain level, they will inevitably be sought after. Who wouldn't want a venerable disciple?

But now...

The Ganwu Country Lord has already accepted Chen Yi as his disciple, so it is impossible for Chen Yi to take on any other venerable masters as his teachers.

Just as the Ganwu Country Lord was happy.

He suddenly received a message from... the head of the Virtual Universe Company, the Chaos City Lord!

Virtual Universe.

In the palace of the Chaos City Lord, the pillar of the Human Race, the "Chaos City Lord," sat in the main hall.

Opposite to him.

There was also a man in white robes, who was:

"Original"!

The Chaos City Lord had already received news that Chen Yi had passed the Trial Tower, but this level was only enough for him to accept Chen Yi as a disciple.

Whether or not he accepts apprentices depends on his own preferences.

The Chaos City Lord felt that Chen Yi needed further observation, because in his opinion, Chen Yi was not his type.

"Teacher... what do you think of Chen Yi? Observing his fighting style and the secret Law Comprehension the laws, they are all very conservative."

"This can be seen from these one-sided views."

"This person dislikes taking risks and fighting; this kind of personality... doesn't seem like someone who can become a strong person."

The Chaos City Lord looked at the white-robed man, the Original Ancestor, before him, wondering why his teacher thought so highly of Chen Yi.

Generally speaking, strong people have several characteristics.

Chen Yi possesses most of these qualities, but there is one peculiar aspect to him: the secret techniques he cultivates and the secret techniques he prioritizes to comprehend.

It mainly focuses on movement techniques and defense.

Their fighting style is also very conservative.

It's as if Chen Yi felt that as long as he could stay alive, that was enough.

All the other things—the desperate struggles, the fighting, the battles for treasure—are unimportant!

These things can be seen from the details. There's nothing wrong with that, but without taking risks, it's often difficult to obtain opportunities. Becoming Universe Master, or even a powerful Universe Master, actually relies on competing for treasures and opportunities.

The Chaos City Lord is that without all his Supreme Treasure, his strength will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, according to the Chaos City Lord's perspective...

Compared to Chen Yi.

He even had a higher opinion of Luo Feng, who ranked second in the Trial Tower.

In terms of potential, Chen Yi is definitely stronger than Luo Feng. With Chen Yi's personality and talent, becoming a Venerable or even a decent Venerable is not a problem. But if he doesn't like taking risks...

Without fighting desperately, how can one obtain opportunities and treasures?

Therefore, considering his personality, the Chaos City Lord believes that only Luo Feng might bring about a miracle in the future.

Luo Feng is clearly a bloodthirsty and combat-loving individual.

Only in this way can one obtain more treasures and more opportunities, continuously raising the upper limit.

Certainly...

Fighting and strife may also lead to an early and premature death.

The Original Ancestor looked at the Chaos City Lord and smiled, "No... Chaos, you're looking at things too superficially. Chen Yi has great potential, and I think he has tremendous potential. He might become the new Universe Master the Human Race!"
