Chapter 104 The Arena Battle Begins! Group 161!
Time flew by, and the day of the arena battle arrived in the blink of an eye.
On July 16, 2066, the day before the arena battle, in the virtual universe, above the Qianwu Continent, there was a huge conference hall on one of the floating continents.
The conference hall was enormous, with rows and rows of seats.
"The conference hall is huge; it can seat 100,000 people," Hong remarked with a smile. "The seating is also very spacious."
"That's alright. Every seat at the Qianwu Auction is incredibly large, and it's worth three million—" Luo Feng said in a low voice to Hong, then his eyes darted warily towards a burly figure as tall as a one-story building.
"That looks like the savage, a super genius whom Second Brother greatly admires. If Second Brother hadn't tricked him, it would have been Second Brother who died."
Hong also looked over: "He's really perverted. His behavior in the video is truly terrifying—"
Immediately after the Qianwu Special Envoy's mission ended, he approached Luo Feng and his group, promising numerous benefits and rewards, and also bringing with him videos of some super geniuses.
"How's it going? Are you confident if you face him?" Hong smiled slightly. "You and he are both ranked second in the world."
"We'll only know after we fight," Luo Feng said confidently. "We've both reached the second level of the 'Myriad Threads Flow' technique, capable of creating nine illusory bodies. Our movement techniques are about the same, but he's a martial artist, and I'm a mentalist. I still have a certain advantage."
Luo Feng's confidence naturally stemmed from his improved strength, as he had been truly learning from Zhou Ze ever since he entered the realm of mental cultivation.
He hadn't expected that his teacher would also be able to use the Divine Weapon. He asked Zhou Ze why, but Zhou Ze only said that he didn't know how to teach him, so he learned it himself.
Luo Feng, not yet a martial artist, was used to Zhou Ze's habitual boasting. What he hadn't expected was that Zhou Ze's mastery of the Divine Weapon was far superior to his own.
I don't know how my teacher cultivates, even though we all cultivate for the same amount of time. "Quiet!"
A deep voice rang out, and the entire conference hall fell silent. A man in a silver robe appeared on the high platform at the front of the hall. His eyes swept over the 100,100 people below, all of whom were geniuses who had passed the preliminary selection.
"Our Qianwu Universe Kingdom has 101,000 people who passed the preliminary selection." The man in the silver robe pointed to a figure, and a screen immediately appeared beside him, displaying a series of individual images:
"One hundred of them won first place in their respective world regions, directly securing the final spots to represent the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."
"Go and participate in the ultimate showdown between all human cosmic nations!"
"The remaining 100,000 people will compete for the remaining 900 spots."
"That means the upcoming arena battle!"
"The arena battles are divided into 'arena free-for-all' and 'arena one-on-one battles,'" the man in the silver robe said.
"First, 90,000 people will be eliminated through a free-for-all in the arena! The remaining 100,000 will be divided into groups of 100. Each group will engage in a free-for-all in the same arena, and the last 10 to survive will be considered to have passed the free-for-all."
"After the chaotic battle, 10,000 people remained, and the 900 spots will be chosen from among these 10,000!"
"Next up is the arena finals, one-on-one. The winner advances, and the loser is relegated to the 'Defeaters' group' for a round-robin tournament!"
After the man in the silver robe finished explaining, a commotion immediately broke out.
"Whether it's a free-for-all or a one-on-one fight, the randomness is just too great."
"What if you encounter a super genius and get killed in one strike? Wouldn't that be a tragic death?"
"I don't know what the Virtual Universe Company was thinking. I was already an existence that had reached the threshold of the laws—"
"Hopefully I won't be matched with any perverts."
As the group of geniuses were discussing, suddenly a projection screen appeared in front of each of them in the conference hall, displaying a number ranging from 1 to 1000.
"See the numbers in front of you? These are your groups!"
The man in the silver robe said in a deep voice, "Starting tomorrow, it will be the first to the two hundredth group. The entire arena will be a chaotic battle that lasts for five days."
It will end in five days.
Luo Feng looked at the number "382" in front of him.
"Big brother, what group are you in?" Luo Feng looked at Hong's screen and said, "You're in group 161, haha, big brother, you're starting tomorrow."
"Hmm." Hong's expression was indifferent.
"I wish you all the best in the arena battle." The silver-robed man's voice echoed throughout the conference hall: "Now, let's teleport everyone away. Get ready."
hum~
All 100,000 geniuses in the entire conference hall vanished instantly.
On a beautiful island in the Qianwu Continent.
As soon as Tu Man returned to the entrance of the hall, he found Clark standing there waiting for him.
"Tuman, how's it going? Which group are you in?" Clark had a sunny disposition that made him instantly likeable.
"161 sets!" Tu Man said.
"161 groups? You're starting tomorrow? How about it, all confident?" Clark chuckled.
"Don't be careless this time. Be careful not to slip up again. If you do, I'll be waiting for you in the core secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company!"
Tu Man glanced at Clark: "Even if I capsize, I can still enter the core secret realm by joining the Virtual Universe Company's elite training camp—"
"But you, you got incredibly lucky and actually became number one in the world!"
Clark said seriously and loudly, "Luck? What do you mean by luck! I became number one through my own strength, okay? You're just jealous of me—"
Tu Man didn't say much, only sneered, his sneer containing three parts disdain, three parts mockery, and three parts composure. Within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, there was a vast star field.
A D6-class spaceship in the shape of a flying saucer is parked on a moon of a mineral planet. Inside the D6-class spaceship is a resting pod.
Tu Man was sitting cross-legged on the alloy floor of the rest cabin, carrying the short knife on his back. He was looking up at a photograph hanging on the wall, a picture of a dark-skinned, muscular young man and a burly man with their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Father!" Tu Man murmured, gazing silently at the photograph, "Although you are not my biological father, but—"
Tu Man gritted his teeth and whispered, "I, Tu Man, swear—I will, I absolutely will, kill that bastard! I will!!!"
Tu Manjin emanated a chilling glint, like a lone wolf driven mad by hunger.
"He is immortal!"
"He was the emperor who founded the empire!"
"But I will definitely kill him! Father, you'll see me break into the top 1000 in the universe's overall rankings in the Genius Battle!"
Enter the Virtual Universe Corporation! Even within the Virtual Universe Corporation, become the strongest of your generation!
The savage whispered, "The day I slay him will be the day I restore the name 'Tuman'."
"I can definitely do it! You don't know that two or three years ago I became an apprentice of a mysterious senior, and my strength has improved by leaps and bounds!"
"Even my lazy, carefree brother 'Clark', who never takes training seriously, has become the strongest in the world!"
Tu Man smiled slightly: "His changes are far greater than mine!"
"If Clark can do it, so can I!"
"My teacher told me that even a lion needs to go all out to catch a rabbit! If I had gone all out from the beginning, I wouldn't have failed this time!"
Tu Man's expression was resolute, his eyes revealing a madness: "I will never underestimate anyone again, nor will I give my opponents any chance! The teacher is right, even if it's virtual, even if I don't die, I must treat it as a real life-or-death battle."
"Otherwise, when the real battle for survival begins, the fighting style will be completely different. Fighting in the virtual universe won't hone your skills at all..."
