Luo Feng scratched his head. He had a lot to say to his senior brother, but he remembered his senior brother's teachings and only exchanged a few simple pleasantries before returning to their respective rooms.
The next morning.
The top 7300 winners gathered in the center of the square.
Space suddenly froze!
An invisible pressure enveloped the entire area.
A supreme being in a green robe and purple scales emerged from the void and hung in the sky; it was none other than the Nine Swords Venerable.
He lowered his eyes and swept over the young faces below, then slowly said, "First of all, congratulations to the test takers ranked 1st to 100th. You have obtained a spot to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company. However, our Virtual Universe Company never forces anyone, so if you do not wish to join, you can say so in advance."
All was silent; no one answered.
"it is good."
The Nine Swords Venerable nodded slightly, and then began to announce the rules of the arena battle.
"Ranked 101st to 7300th, these 7200 trial participants have had their arena battles automatically arranged by the virtual universe system based on their performance in the trial space. Those who win three consecutive battles will directly obtain a spot, while those who lose will be eliminated."
7200 people, after three consecutive battles, exactly 900 people remained.
With a whoosh, after the rules were announced, the 7200 people vanished and entered the arena battle.
Only Lin Hao and his group of one hundred remained.
"Wait a moment, and once the list of the remaining 900 people is released, we will begin the competition for qualification."
"That's what the Nine Swords Venerable said."
His gaze lingered on Lin Hao for a moment longer, but he said nothing and disappeared.
The remaining hundred people looked at each other in bewilderment, and then some formed groups while others watched the battle.
Lin Hao became the center of attention again, with the three women gathered around, making Jiang Mo look annoyed.
Uka, who had originally intended to come over and meet Lin Hao, scratched his head and decisively went to find Luo Feng.
'The senior brother actually flirted with girls like that right in front of Sister Janet, that's amazing...'
Luo Feng was deeply shocked by what he saw.
Fortunately, Uka came over, and I ended up chatting with him, so I didn't have to have my worldview shattered by Lin Hao anymore.
"That Ai Chen who can break into the top ten is a member of the Dream Wing Clan. Don't be fooled by her delicate appearance, she is actually one of the pinnacle bloodlines of the human race, just like our Manka Star People and the Wild God Clan."
Uka gestured for Luo Feng to look at the stunningly beautiful woman beside Lin Hao, who had pure white wings and a crystal between her brows, and said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Luo Feng glanced at Ai Chen, slightly surprised.
"And Qian Shui is no slouch either; he's a top contender for the top ten. When will I be as good as Brother Lin Hao...?"
Uka, the prince of Manka Star, kept talking.
Assessment complete: He's a chatterbox.
Luo Feng thought to himself.
However, this also made him seem less boring.
Half an hour later, the first round of the arena competition ended, and the 3600 people who advanced were once again divided into pairs to compete against each other.
Another half hour later, the 1800 people who had advanced began their battles.
Then the third round.
Soon, the 900 available spots were announced.
The qualifying rounds have officially begun!
……
"Rankings 101-1000 will receive a reward of 10 Mixed Yuan Units and will be allowed to enter the Apocalypse Secret Realm."
"Rankings 11th to 100th will receive a reward of 100 Hunyuan Units and will be allowed to enter the Heavenly Secret Realm."
"Third to tenth place will receive a reward of 1000 Hunyuan Units and can enter the Primordial Secret Realm."
"Finally, the first and second place winners will receive a reward of 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units and can enter the Primal Secret Realm!"
After the Nine Swords Venerable finished speaking, he paused.
"Normally, the 'Primordial Secret Realm' only admits the first place in each Genius Battle. However, your year is a bit special, so after discussion among the senior management of Virtual Universe Company, they specially allocated an extra spot."
"Although the chances of getting this extra spot are still slim, I hope you won't give up and keep trying."
After making the announcement, the Nine Swords Venerable disappeared.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"A chance my ass! Can he beat Lin Hao, Janet, or Berlan...?"
Those who now consider themselves somewhat capable can only try their best to retain their spots in the Primordial Secret Realm.
"Next, the qualification battle will begin. The virtual universe system has selected the top 100 people from the 900 people in the arena battle. These 100 people will fight one-on-one against the 100 people who initially advanced."
"The 100 winners are qualified to enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, while the remaining 900 will all enter the Doomsday Secret Realm."
A magnificent and ethereal voice resounded throughout the square. As the words of the virtual universe system's intelligence fell, one hundred groups of people immediately appeared on the screen.
This clearly caused dissatisfaction among many geniuses.
"Virtual Universe Company! I'm absolutely confident I can break into the top 100, even the top 20! Why did they eliminate me outright, not even giving me the chance to fight!"
A five-meter-tall young man with a vertical eye between his eyebrows said ferociously, his three eyes flashing with madness.
"unfair!"
"protest!"
Many of the 800 geniuses who weren't selected also started to join in the commotion.
The immortal leaders merely snorted in response, and the geniuses who protested the unfair rules immediately knelt on the ground, their faces pale and filled with agony.
"a bunch of idiots."
The vast majority of the immortal team leaders watched with indifference and coldness.
The virtual universe system also responded, with a magnificent and ethereal voice saying, "If you have any objections to the rules of the final battle, you may choose not to join the virtual universe company. Our virtual universe company never forces anyone to join."
Once these words were spoken, even the most resentful or bitter genius could only swallow their anger.
The geniuses who witnessed this scene were secretly shocked, deeply realizing the ruthless nature of this virtual universe company.
It's not that Virtual Universe Company is begging you geniuses to join; it's that you geniuses are begging to join Virtual Universe Company!
"Since there are no objections, the battle for qualification shall now begin."
A majestic voice rang out.
Chapter 76 The Battle of Geniuses Comes to an End
Subsequently, Lin Hao and the other two hundred people were teleported in pairs to one hundred arenas.
Lin Hao's vision blurred, and he found himself on a silver-white arena that spanned ten kilometers in radius.
Opposite him stood a lean young man, his eyes filled with resentment, cursing, "Damn it, they gave me this chance to compete, but who the hell can seize this opportunity?"
The lean young man gritted his teeth, roared, and wielded the fifth-tier Force weapon 'Phantom Sword', transforming into a whirlwind as he charged towards Lin Hao.
Even if the outcome is inevitable, you should still leave a mark on the other side!
boom!
Lin Hao had no intention of teasing his opponent, and directly condensed the fundamental law of water into a vortex.
Then countless primal forces directly crushed the opponent into dust, shattering and dissipating.
Lin Hao wins the first battle!
He turned to look at the ring where Janet was.
This time, Lin Hao didn't plan to help her cheat. The arena itself also had the function of isolating the original force, intention, and mental power, so he could only watch.
Janet's opponent was a burly man who had been filled with despair. Seeing that Janet hadn't made a move for a long time, he closed his eyes, rushed over, and unleashed his strongest strike.
Then came an incredulous, ecstatic joy!
Not long after, all the battles ended, and one hundred winners were determined.
on the square.
The majestic voice announced again, "Among the 100 winners, the Virtual Universe System will select 20 to enter the second round of qualifying battles to determine the spots in the Primordial Secret Realm, while the remaining 80 will enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm."
This time, no one dared to object or utter a word.
A powerful voice announced the list of 20 people.
"Lin Hao!"
"Bolan!"
"Ai Chen, Luo Feng, Wu Ka, Yi Feng, Gu Si Luo, Jia Lai Xi, Rong Jun, Qian Shui, Jiang Mo..."
After all twenty names were read out, those whose names weren't called showed resentment and sullen anger.
Even the burly man who had just been ecstatic—his joy was all for naught.
Among the twenty people whose names were called, including Bolan, everyone began to feel nervous and uneasy, silently praying, "Please don't let us run into Lin Hao."
Everyone agrees that they are destined to lose if they encounter Lin Hao!
"Lin Hao vs. Zhan Tao!"
A majestic voice announced.
Bolan, Rong Jun, Wuka and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Wuka even took an exaggerated deep breath, looking like he had been saved, which left Luo Feng speechless.
It was still the same silver-white arena, spanning a radius of ten kilometers.
Just as the electronic voice announced the start—
hum!
