Chapter 74: A Battle That Will Be Sung For Countless Years

"Before the arena duel begins, first of all, congratulations to the 1st to 100th place in the Trial Tower points ranking. You will directly join the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company. Now, if anyone is unwilling to join, please stand up. My Virtual Universe Company will never force you."

No one spoke. If someone really expressed his unwillingness to join at this time, he would probably be blacklisted from the virtual universe for the rest of his life.

"Very good." The Nine Swords Master nodded slightly.

"Now, everyone starting from the 100th place on the standings will participate in the ring battle, and the opponent will be directly assigned by the virtual universe system. Those who win three games in a row can also join the virtual universe company."

As soon as the words fell, the central square shook slightly, and 7200 of the original elite geniuses were suddenly teleported away, leaving only the top 100 geniuses in the total ranking of the Trial Tower points.

The Nine Swords Master looked at the 100 geniuses including Shen Mu and Bo Lan, pointed to a place not far away and said, "There are seats over there, you can watch the live broadcast there first."

As the Nine Swords Master raised his hand, tables and chairs appeared in a corner of the central square, on which were displayed various well-known foods and drinks in the universe.

Soon, many geniuses took their seats.

Shen Mu, Luo Feng and Rong Jun, who were all from the Qianwu Universe, sat together.

Rong Jun looked at Shen Mu beside him and scratched his messy hair: "I know you are very strong, but I didn't expect the gap between us to be so big. Your points ranking even exceeds Bolan."

"I'm definitely not your opponent now, but one day I will challenge you again!" Rong Jun's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "No problem, but before that, you have to defeat Junior Brother Luo Feng first before you are qualified to challenge me!"

Faced with the blatant act of diverting firepower, Rong Jun nodded in approval: "That makes sense. Let me defeat the madman first, and then I will challenge you."

Luo Feng's forehead was dark: "Hey, hey, why did you two drag me into the fight?"

……

The competition was quick, and the remaining 900 spots were decided in nearly two hours.

Including the top 100 players in the standings, the 1000 most powerful talents of this talent battle have been officially selected.

"congratulations!"

An ethereal voice rang in the ears of 1000 geniuses, and the figure of the Nine Swords Master appeared again in front of their crowd.

"You are the 1000 best people in this year's Genius Competition and will enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company."

"But in the universe, there is competition everywhere. Even in the core layer, there are different treatment divisions."

"The geniuses who rank 101st to 1000th will receive a bonus of 10 Hunyuan units, enter the initial universe for training, and join the secret realm of the end times."

"No. 11 to No. 100... Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth."

"No. 4 to No. 10... Taichu Secret Realm."

"As for the top three, they will receive a bonus of 1 Hunyuan units, enter the initial universe for contemplation, and become members of the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company!"

"Under normal circumstances, only the first place winner of each genius competition will be taken into the original secret realm for training."

"But your class is very outstanding. After approval by the Virtual Universe Company, three students will be admitted to the Primordial Secret Realm."

"The final battle will begin tomorrow to determine the final ranking. The rules of the final battle have been sent to each of you. You should have a good rest today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Nine Swords Master disappeared again, and the one thousand peerless geniuses on the spot began to discuss again.

Although most of them have never heard of the four secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company, even a fool knows that the best one is definitely the original secret realm.

There were only three places for the original secret realm, and everyone's attention was focused on Shen Mu, Bo Lan and Luo Feng.

Needless to say, Shen Mu and Bo Lan, the others had no hope of winning at all.

Although Luo Feng cannot be compared with Shen Muberan, he is still a level stronger than others.

At the peak of the second stage of the Divine Weapon, the Nine-Line Flow was perfected. With such strength, only Rong Jun, Gu Siluo and others were qualified to fight Luo Feng, but they were only qualified to fight once or twice.

"No, look at the rules, they are not fair at all!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, and then everyone paid attention to the rules of the upcoming ring battle.

The virtual universe system directly selected 900 challengers from the 100 geniuses who passed the competition.

These 100 challengers will challenge the top 100 in the standings. The winners will be eligible to join the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth, while the losers will enter the Secret Realm of the End of the World with others.

In other words, the 800 people who were not selected by the system did not even have the opportunity to fight for higher treatment.

"Why? At least give us a chance to fight!"

"I don't accept it. If I lose, I will accept it, but why don't I even have a chance to fight?"

In an instant, the peerless geniuses who were not qualified to participate in the remaining duels started to make a commotion. They were not even given a chance to show their strength!

But the reality is cruel, 1008 powerful immortal leaders released terrifying pressure one after another.

In an instant, the 800 geniuses who were causing trouble were suppressed. They knelt on the ground uncontrollably, unable to even speak.

Then, the leaders of the major cosmic countries reprimanded the geniuses in their own cosmic countries who refused to obey.

On the Qianwu Universe side, Shen Mu, Luo Feng and Rong Jun were all in the top 100 of the standings, so naturally there was no disturbance.

Luo Feng looked at this scene and couldn't help but say: "I feel this is a bit unfair."

Rong Jun also nodded slightly: "If it were me, I would not accept being eliminated without being allowed to fight."

The Thirteen Gods who led the team looked at the jokes of other universe countries and explained in a good mood: "You don't understand the authority of the virtual universe system. After so many battles, the strength of all of you has been modeled and estimated."

"It may be difficult to judge geniuses like you who are in the top 10, but there will be no surprises or mistakes at this level. This is the rule of countless genius competitions."

After hearing the speech of the Thirteen Generals, Luo Feng and Rong Jun had similar reactions. They both wanted to retort, but gave up after thinking about it.

Shen Mu said, "I agree with the rules of the Virtual Universe Company."

"It has been five years since the genius competition, and countless manpower and material resources have been consumed. There is no need to save these few days of time and costs in the final stage."

"I can roughly understand the idea of ​​the Virtual Universe Company. They should want to polish the arrogance of these geniuses. You have to know that entering the core layer of the Virtual Universe does not mean smooth sailing, but countless trials of life and death."

"We should smooth out the edges of these geniuses now and let them know how to respect the strong. When they encounter life-and-death crises in the future, they will have a greater chance of surviving the crisis and perhaps achieve greater success."

After hearing this, the thirteen generals were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Shen Mu, at such a young age, could see so far and consider things from a higher perspective.

This is indeed the case. After every member of the Genius Battle enters the core layer, the death rate is as high as a terrifying 90% over a thousand years.

For such geniuses, talent is no longer the biggest obstacle preventing them from achieving immortality; arrogance is.

……

The next morning, the quasi-core members of the Virtual Universe Company began to compete for higher treatment and places in higher-level secret realms.

The competition for a place in the secret realm officially began, and Luo Feng and Rong Jun easily defeated their opponents one after another.

As for Shen Mu and Bolan, they didn't even play.

After the virtual universe system matched them with opponents, the opponent chose to abstain before they even took the stage.

After this round of competition, the figure of the Nine Swords Master appeared again and swept towards the 100 winning geniuses.

"First of all, congratulations on entering the top 100 and obtaining the qualification to join the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth. Now I will announce the top 20 people selected by the Virtual Universe System from among you."

With the precedent of the previous 800 geniuses, the remaining geniuses were all very honest and no one questioned them anymore.

"Shen Mu, Bolan, Luo Feng, Gu Si Luo, Rong Jun, Long Yun, Wu Ka, Ai Chen, Jiang Mo, Qian Shui, Lan Si Luo, Galaxi, Tao, Opatra, Yi Feng..."

Some geniuses who were not called out looked unwilling. Even though they knew that only the top 10 would be able to enter the Taichu Secret Realm, they were naturally unwilling to accept the result without a real fight.

The Nine Swords Master smiled and said, "These 20 people will fight against opponents assigned by the Virtual Universe Company, and the winner will be qualified to enter the Primordial Secret Realm."

As the Venerable finished speaking, many geniuses began to look at each other, wondering who their opponents would be.

When their eyes passed over Shen Mu and Bolan, they all prayed that they would never encounter these two super monsters.

Shen Mu and Bolan were not worried at all. They both knew that the virtual universe system would never allow them to fight each other at this stage.

In the crowd, the handsome little prince of Manka Star kept muttering in his heart: "Don't run into Shen Mu and Bo Lan..."

"And Luo Feng, he can only use dozens of phantom bodies, but he can't be defeated."

About half an hour later, the entire central square shook slightly, and then ten huge arenas emerged. At the same time, Shen Mu and others disappeared from the spot and appeared directly on the arena.

"Galesi is so miserable, he actually ran into Shen Mu!" "Yi Feng is even more miserable, his opponent is Bolan."

Shen Mu stood on the stage, and opposite him was a tall and thin figure shrouded in a black robe.

"Shen Mu, no matter how high your principles are, you may not be able to win against me!"

Facing the harsh words of Phantom Demon Galesi, Shen Mu smiled and said, "Since the virtual universe system allows you and me to fight, it means that you have stopped here."

Then Shen Mu said no more. When the virtual universe system announced the start, a spear appeared in Shen Mu's palm.

The gorgeous silver spear light seemed to pass through the void and pierce straight into Galesi.

The phantom demon Galesi immediately used the secret method of mental illusion to resist, but Shen Mu was not affected at all. The sharp spear light instantly pierced his eyebrows.

……

A moment later, the top ten geniuses in the universe were announced.

In the order of the end of the competition time, the top ten are Shen Mu, Bolan, Luo Feng, Qianshui, Jiang Mo, Wuka, Ai Chen, Long Yun, Opatra, and Rong Jun.

The one who is more miserable here is Gu Silu. In terms of attainment in the laws, Gu Silu is only slightly stronger than Rong Jun. During the trial tower stage, he reached the first level of the sixth tower.

Rong Jun stopped at the fifth trial tower, but what no one expected was that Rong Jun made a stunning slash in the end and directly sent Gu Si Luo back to the secret realm of heaven and earth.

The Nine Swords Master reappeared and said, "Congratulations on entering the top ten and obtaining the qualification to join the Primordial Secret Realm!"

"Next, we will have a battle for the top five. Your previous winning times were different. The one with the fastest time will compete with the slowest time... and so on."

If the battle is arranged in this way, then Rong Jun and Opatra will be in a miserable situation, as their opponents will be Shen Mu and Bolan respectively.

As for Luo Feng, we can only say that fate is at work. Just like in the original novel, his opponent is the most hidden Long Yun.

The remaining two arenas are Qianshui vs. Ai Chen; Jiang Mo vs. Wu Ka.

……

On the stage, there was no trace of cowardice in Rong Jun's expression when he looked at Shen Mu.

Rong Jun was very confident in his sword, although he also knew that there was no hope at all in fighting Shen Mu now.

But I don’t want to back down and want to show my style.

Rong Jun looked at Shen Mu very frankly: "I will use the most powerful sword in my life. If I can't do anything to you, I will admit defeat!"

Shen Mu nodded slightly: "Okay, please do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong bloody smell emanated from the savage Rong Jun, as if he had just emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Clang!
The sound of the sword burst out, this sword was wild and fierce, and the endless sword intent condensed into a dazzling sword light, as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was sinking, and all things were falling down.

Endless and heavy ochre-yellow glow condensed into one, and the mighty and domineering sword light seemed to split the void.

"This sword is very powerful. Even if Luo Feng wants to take it, he will probably suffer some injuries."

Shen Mu instantly judged the power of this knife, but that was all.

The crystal clear Frost Divine Weapon appeared in Shen Mu's palm. What surprised everyone was that Shen Mu did not use the Frost Divine Weapon, but treated it as a spear.

Wow!
The frosty air currents moved up and down in all directions, and the entire arena turned into a pure white ice platform in an instant.

laugh!
In the fierce low-temperature airflow, a dark white spear light burst out, and the terrifying low temperature seemed to freeze the space!
The second level of the extreme cold spear technique in "Bi Tao Secret Book"!
The second level of extreme cold is said to be invincible in the universe. Its power is slightly inferior to the third level of the Frost God Weapon, but it is enough!

boom!
The roar faded away, and the endless milky white cold air dissipated. Shen Mu, dressed in white, stood on the stage, and the spear in his hand pierced through the chest of Rong Jun, who had turned into an ice sculpture.

In this battle, victory or defeat is decided by one move.

In the central square, on five magnificent arenas, the top five winners were announced one after another!
"Shen Mu" vs. "Rong Jun", Shen Mu wins!
"Bolan" vs. "Opatra", Bolan wins!
"Luo Feng" fights against "Long Yun", Luo Feng wins!
"Qianshui" vs. "Ai Chen", Ai Chen wins!
"Jiang Mo" vs. "Wuka", Wuka wins!
In fact, Rong Jun, Opatra, Long Yun, and even Gu Si Luo who didn't even make it into the top ten, are all a level stronger than Uka and Ai Chen, but they were eliminated only because of bad luck.

However, no one expressed any dissatisfaction. After all, the treatment for No. 4 to No. 10 was the same, all were in the Taichu Secret Realm, and the reward points were also equal.

The one who is really unlucky is Gusro. As fourth in the standings, Uka, Qianshui, Jiang Mo and others are not as good as him in actual combat power.

"Next, the first five rounds of battles will begin, and the final winner will determine who can enter the original secret realm."

As the person in charge, the Nine Swords Master once again announced the rules of the competition. The five people fought against each other, and the final ranking was determined according to the wins.

Half an hour later, the round-robin battle for the top five began.

Shen Mu fought against Wu Ka, Ai Chen, Luo Feng and Bo Lan in turn.

Bolan fought with Luo Feng, Wu Ka, Ai Chen and Shen Mu successively.

After a while, the first five rounds of the battle were played out for three rounds, and Shen Mu and Bolan both won three consecutive victories.

……

A moment later, the final round of the reincarnation battle began.

On the silver-white arena, two peerless figures in white clothes faced each other.

Shen Mu versus Bolan!
This is a game that everyone is watching. All those who are paying attention to the battle of geniuses are waiting for this battle to come.

Regardless of who wins or loses, this battle will be sung by the entire human race for countless years.

There have been geniuses in history who are better than Shen Mu and Bolan, but they are monsters who only appear once in countless genius battles and each of them dominates an era.

Like today, it is extremely rare and the probability is too small for two beings who have appeared once in tens of thousands of epochs to compete for the first place in the same genius battle.

Even the ancient rulers of the universe were very interested and paid close attention to this battle.

Bolan took the initiative to speak and looked at Shen Mu: "Our Noah Universe Country's leader, Immortal, told me that you have really gotten started in studying the nature of the universe."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Yes, in terms of attainment in the laws of space, you are indeed better than me, but it's a pity that you can't exert any power at all."

Bolan said quietly: "In the face of an absolute gap, all skills are meaningless."

"I'll wait and see." Shen Mu shook his head.

While the two were talking, the prompt from the virtual universe system sounded and the game officially began.

Swish!
On the silver-white arena, Bolan's figure blurred in an instant, and three thousand young men in white robes filled the void above the arena.

Clang!
Thousands of dazzling blood swords bloomed together, leaving behind enchanting red light in the void, instantly covering the void around Shen Mu.

The spatial fluctuations on the entire arena seemed to become sharper, and the sharp red light locked onto Shen Mu, pressing down with a force that seemed to cut through space.

"Oh my God!"

"Three thousand phantom bodies! Borlan can actually perform three thousand phantom bodies?"

The geniuses and immortals watching the battle were completely shocked.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that such attainments in the laws of space could appear in a little star-level guy.

On the stage, Shen Mu, who was locked by countless sword beams, had a calm expression. Then he raised his right hand, and an endless stream of icy air swept over him.

Indeed, in the face of absolute disparity, everything is meaningless.

But Bolan...there is no absolute gap between you and me anymore!

Two completely different spatial realms spread out, and from the ice spears that emitted milky white cold air, countless tiny ice needles shot out, a total of 1600 ice needles.

The next moment, countless ice needles suddenly became illusory, as if they had transformed into countless cold air currents.

Wow!

The sound of a rushing river echoed as the dark blue tidal zone spread out, interweaving with countless cold air currents, and then transformed into a long, mighty river.

A long river of extreme cold surrounded Shen Mu, surging and flowing in the void, roaring and rushing in all directions.

Boundless pressure swept over, like a dragon returning to the sea or a river tide rolling up to the sky.

Two completely different mysterious artistic conceptions and the river intertwined, instantly breaking through the space oppression formed by Borlan's attack, and smashing towards the figure with three thousand white blood swords!

The fourth level of the Frost God Weapon - the River without Form!
In the central square, not only the 1008 immortal marquises who were watching the battle were shocked, but even the Nine Swords Master in the green battle robe looked stunned.
