The familiar name reminded them of the Earth's number one genius, whom Luo Feng had mentioned at home and expressed great regret over.

Will Li Jing from Earth be ranked number one in the 79th World Zone?

That can't be it!

After all, according to Luo Feng, Li Jing from Earth had already perished in the perilous universe.

Furthermore, the nationality doesn't match. If he were truly Li Jing from Earth, his nationality would be the same as Luo Feng's, registered under the Black Dragon Mountain Empire or the Silver Blue Empire.

But the nationality of the number one player in the 79th World Zone is none other than the Ganwu Universe Country!

It's probably just a case of having the same name. After all, there are countless Cosmic Humans, and the naming style of Huaxia on Earth is considered one of the mainstreams, so there are too many people with the same name.

However, this one, also named Li Jing, truly lives up to his reputation as someone from the direct star region of the Ganwu Universe Country.

His performance was far ahead, far surpassing that of Thunder God was currently the best-ranked among the three, including Luo Feng.

They must come from a powerful family or influential group, right?

They shook their heads and stopped paying attention.

No matter how strong outsiders were, it was irrelevant to them; at this moment, they continued to focus on the performance of Luo Feng and his two companions.

"Look! Dad's ranking is rising! So fast, he's almost in the top 100,000!"

Luo Ping exclaimed in surprise, and smiles appeared on the faces of Xu Xin and the others.

In the First World Zone, Luo Feng emerged from the small room where he was hiding, a hint of eagerness flashing across his face.

Ten days have passed since the qualifiers began!

After ten days of fierce competition, the surviving contestants are all top performers in their respective fields, and must have accumulated a considerable number of points.

Killing one person now is equivalent to killing dozens or even hundreds of people 10 days ago.

His hunting season has begun!

Soon, Luo Feng began his sweep of attacks in his own city.

With the advantage of his Universe Level Golden Horned Beast clone, he has already entered the Origin of Gold Law and mastered the first level of the Yan Shen Armament.

There aren't many rivals within the Ganwu Universe Country, let alone in this small World Zone.

However, he primarily targets and hunts down powerful individuals with well-known names.

For him, who lacks the ability to inflict massive damage in a short period of time.

Targeted elimination of contestants with high scores is the best way to stand out in the qualifiers.

Instead of wasting time on ordinary opponents.

During this process, Luo Feng's ranking also skyrocketed, quickly breaking into the top 1001 in the World Zone.

If they maintain this performance and are not eliminated, they will basically secure a spot in the preliminary rounds.

But his ambitions went far beyond that; he continued to hunt and earn points!

"Brolin, your Black Dragon Mountain Empire performed quite well this time! One person actually broke into the top 1000 in the World Zone, and three others are currently in the top 10,000. After the qualifiers, they are very likely to enter the top 1000 as well!"

Above 61st World Zone, a luxurious spaceship hovered silently.

A group of elegantly dressed young men and women mingled and drank, occasionally glancing at the results of the contestants from their respective empires.

A burly man, three meters tall and dressed in a magnificent robe, raised a wine glass toward Brolin Road not far away.

The other young men and women from various powerful families and the royal families of the affiliated empires also cast different glances at Brolin.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire, a relatively remote medium-sized Universe Country under the Ganwu Universe Country, has consistently performed poorly.

In previous editions of the Genius Battle, not a single player even broke into the top 100,000 in the World Zone.

Unexpectedly, this year's cohort has produced a surprising number of talented individuals.

Brolin forced a smile, "No, it was just good luck."

"Your Highness, the geniuses in your Ganwu Universe Country's directly administered star region are truly remarkable. Look, Li Jing, the number one contestant in the 79th World Zone, comes from the Universe Country's directly administered star region."

"And it's a precipitous lead over second place; even the top scorers in the other 99 World Zone are far behind Li Jing."

Logically speaking, as the Ninth Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he should be a strong contender for the future throne.

Brolin should be thrilled to see a genius emerge from his own empire.

But Brolin's mood at this moment was not as cheerful as it appeared.

It was because three of the four most outstanding performers in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had names that he recognized very well, and he even felt a strong urge to bite them.

Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God!

These were the three people who had clashed with him in the World within a World.

He even went so far as to enlist the help of his maternal grandfather Hargrave, who World Lord Level, but was turned down by Jiang Tianchen, who had also invited Hargrave.

If it were just one instance, he could convince himself it might be a case of the same name.

However, the probability of three people having the same name is extremely low.

He was 99% certain that these were the three people, Luo Feng and his accomplice, with whom he had clashed!

How can one be happy under such circumstances?

The better Luo Feng and his companions performed, the more uneasy he became, unconsciously changing the subject and ignoring Luo Feng and his group.

Upon hearing this, the entire spaceship, including the three-meter-tall, burly man he referred to as His Highness, was stunned.

Every member of the powerful families from the direct star regions of the Ganwu Universe Country displayed an expression of respect and admiration.

Brolin's heart skipped a beat.

What is the background of this Li Jing?

Just mentioning his name was enough to win over these privileged scions of the powerful and wealthy, whom even he had to fawn over?

His Highness is the only son of Marquis Dingtian, and is extremely favored, holding a position among the top in the entire Ganwu Universe Country.

Let alone him, and let alone his emperor father, even the true pillar of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal family, the great and Immortal God, the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord.

Even the Marquis Dingtian had to lower their stance in front of him.

Yet this very person held such reverence for the contestant named Li Jing.

"Your Highness, may I ask about the background of this Prince Li Jing?"

Brolin asked cautiously, adding "Your Highness" to his address to Li Jing, fearing he might offend him by doing so.

"Brolin, you don't even know His Highness Li Jing?"

"Indeed, your Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is far too remote and isolated."

"In fact, only a few forces within the upper echelons of the Ganwu Universe Country know His Highness Li Jing's true identity; others are simply not qualified."

Brolin's eyes lit up as he listened, feeling as if he had stumbled upon some secret.

"His Highness Li Jing is a core disciple of the Ganwu Secret Region of my Ganwu Universe Country," the Marquis Dingtian continued to explain.

Surely a core disciple of the Ganwu Secret Region shouldn't be expected to lower himself so much by the Marquis Dingtian?

Brolin appeared to be listening attentively, but he still had doubts in his heart. Then, the Marquis Dingtian dropped another bombshell.

"His Highness Li Jing was also accepted as a personal disciple by the great ruler because of his performance after joining the Ganwu Secret Region, and his status is even higher than my father's!"

"There's a rumor that before joining the Ganwu Secret Region, His Highness Li Jing might have been a member of your Black Dragon Mountain Empire, but he didn't register Black Dragon Mountain Empire citizenship."

Boom!

Brolin's mind went blank.
