The Pinnacle Genius Battle is the most dazzling stage for Human Stellar Rank geniuses. On this stage, I can clash with countless Stellar Rank geniuses, and it will also be the beginning of my journey to becoming a powerful being...
Luo Feng stood on the villa's rooftop, his hands resting on the railing, gazing up at the dazzling announcement board in the sky, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
Through Babata and his second brother, Thor, Luo Feng understood the significance of the Pinnacle Genius Battle.
It is a competition organized by the three giants—Virtual Universe Company, Huge Axe Dojo, and Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company—to recruit super Stellar Rank geniuses within the Human Territory.
Held once every five thousand years, with the three giants taking turns hosting, it is the undisputed number one grand event for humans in the Universe.
Although there are also the Pinnacle Strongest Battle, the Universe Artifact Refiner Competition, and the Universe Potion Refining Competition.
However, the intervals between these three are too long, participants must at least be Universe Level, not to mention the latter two are exclusive to Artifact Refiners and Potion Refiners, with extremely high thresholds.
Therefore, the Pinnacle Genius Battle, which only requires Stellar Rank to participate, allows weaker human beings in the Universe to feel involved and provides a great sense of Starfield honor.
"Luo Feng, registration for the Pinnacle Genius Battle has begun, hurry and sign up."
Babata's phantom appeared out of thin air, urging, "With your current strength, it's easy to secure a spot in the top 1,000 of Ganwu Universe Country."
"Even if you can't enter the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, you can still receive focus nurturing from Ganwu Dojo by being in the top 1,000 of Ganwu Universe Country."
"Perhaps, after you enter the Core Region of Ganwu Dojo, you might even receive personal guidance from King Molten Rock, Ganwu Universe Country's top master."
At this point, Babata said excitedly, "Your teacher always wanted to receive guidance from King Molten Rock, but he never even met King Molten Rock, and you have this Opportunity!"
Since conceiving the Mosha Clan Clone a year ago, Luo Feng's strength has greatly improved, and he has already comprehended a trace of Space Law.
This made it quite easy for Luo Feng to perform the first form of Yan Shen Armament, 'Phantom Sword Form'.
And the cultivation speed of the Space Secret Technique, '10,000 Thread Flow', which he purchased at great expense, was also not slow, estimated to be not far from getting started.
"Babata, compared to Ganwu Dojo, I'd rather enter the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
Luo Feng brought up a light screen, displaying the official website of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, showing detailed information about the Pinnacle Genius Battle.
"It's not easy to enter the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
Babata sighed lightly, pointing at the light screen, "Look, among the 1,468 advanced Universe Countries of Human beings in the Universe, only the top 1,000 geniuses in the overall Universe ranking can enter the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"Although your progress has been rapid these past few years, your biggest weakness is your short cultivation time. Many Stellar Rank geniuses participating in the Pinnacle Genius Battle have often Cultivated for hundreds of years, some even reaching thousands of years."
Short cultivation time was indeed Luo Feng's shortcoming.
If Luo Feng was given another 100 years, with the talent of his Golden-Horned Beast and Mosha Clan Clone, entering the top 1,000 of the Genius Battle in the Universe would be a certainty!
"I know, but the rewards of the Pinnacle Genius Battle are too generous. Since I can get into the top 1,000 of Ganwu Universe Country, I naturally have to contend for a spot in the top 1,000 of the overall Universe ranking."
Luo Feng nodded gently, "The rewards for the top 1,000 in the Universe are very generous. At worst, you can get 10 Mixed units, and at most, you can get 10,000 Mixed units, and you can also enter the Beginning Universe to comprehend."
"At the last Virtual Universe Ganwu Primary Auction, a World Master Level Beginning Universe comprehension slot was auctioned for 40,000 Mixed units."
Babata also sighed, "Only the six giants, including Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, who control the Beginning Universe, can release 1,000 Beginning Universe comprehension slots at once."
"The rewards of the Pinnacle Genius Battle are generous, and the difficulty of entering the top 1,000 in the overall Universe ranking is also extremely high."
Luo Feng tapped the light screen, signing up for the Pinnacle Genius Battle, "It is precisely because the difficulty is extremely high that it highlights the benefits of entering the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"Babata, do you still remember what second brother once said, that the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company can easily exchange for treasures and Secret Techniques that are difficult to obtain outside, using points?"
"Of course, I remember." Babata said enviously, "Thor's luck was too good; not only did the special effect of the Soul-Nourishing Potion work, but he also had the chance to become a Disciple of a super powerful being among the King Immortal."
Luo Feng said solemnly, "Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company has a great existence that can reverse time and space. Only by entering the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company will I have the Opportunity to revive Big Brother and Teacher."
"Master…"
Upon hearing this, Babata immediately showed a look of nostalgia and anticipation, and couldn't help but look at Luo Feng.
"I will work hard to revive Teacher. Teacher is an Immortal and has countless years to wait."
Luo Feng sighed lightly, "But Big Brother and Jia Yi are only Planetary Level, and the time left for me and second brother is less than a thousand years."
Babata looked at Luo Feng sighing, wanting to comfort him but having nothing to say.
To revive Hong and Jia Yi and others in less than a thousand years is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Not to mention the great existence that can reverse time and space, just one isolated Cultivation of an Immortal might take more than a thousand years.
But Babata felt that compared to Luo Feng, Thor had more hope of reviving Hong and Jia Yi and others.
No other reason, once Thor became King Swift Thunder's Personal Disciple, he would have the Opportunity to ask King Swift Thunder to intercede and invite the great existence that can reverse time and space to act.
Even if Luo Feng entered the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, even if he Cultivated for another ten thousand years, he might not be able to even meet the great existence!
Sometimes, having a good teacher is also a great Opportunity!
...
Time flew by.
In a flash, the world selection for the Pinnacle Genius Battle in Ganwu Universe Country arrived.
A total of nearly a trillion Stellar Rank individuals battled in 100 world zones, just to compete for 100,100 spots to enter the second stage of the arena battle.
As the world selection neared its end, each world zone fell into a final frenzy!
In World Zone 66, in a city.
Luo Feng stood in the center of a street in the city, surrounded by slightly dilapidated high-rise buildings.
Three golden swordfish formed by 'Soaring Shuttle' continuously attacked a participant under Luo Feng's control.
Even though that participant tried his best to resist, facing the 'Soaring Shuttle' driven by a trace of the Space Origin Law, he was still killed after resisting for a period of time.
"Good strength, but you chose the wrong opponent."
Luo Feng still stood in place, the three golden swordfish returned, swimming around him.
"It's the madman, a super Genius from another city."
"Kill the madman, this is my last Opportunity!"
"The madman is a super Genius, half of his points are definitely enough for me to enter the top 1,000."
"Kill!"
Upon seeing the iconic golden swordfish, several participants immediately flew out from the surrounding buildings, roaring as they charged at Luo Feng.
"Overestimating yourselves."
Looking at the approaching individuals, Luo Feng's eyes held a coldness, and the three swimming golden swordfish suddenly shot out!
...
In World Zone 66, in the sky.
Inside a luxurious Universe spaceship, a group of young men and women held wine glasses and ate delicacies, watching the battle through virtual external views.
"This young fellow named Luo Feng is quite strong, but his luck is a bit poor."
"Hehe, to get first place in a world zone, you not only need strength, but also good luck."
"With nearly ten billion participants in one world zone, dispersed among 100 cities and the wilderness, it's not easy to get first place." The young people chatted and laughed.
Each of them exuded an extraordinary demeanor, either members of the intermediate universe country royal Family of Ganwu Universe Country, scions of prominent families, or descendants of Marquis and King Immortal.
Because they were all affiliated with Ganwu Universe Country, these Family scions, who were not weak in strength and had the potential to become heirs, formed a circle, occasionally exchanging information and fostering relationships.
"Torres, these are people from your Azurewood Empire, right?"
A burly man with red skin asked.
"They are from my Azurewood Empire."
Torres, with green hair, smiled, "This Luo Feng has actually comprehended a trace of the Space Origin Law, and has hope of entering the top 1,000 of Ganwu Universe Country."
"Then congratulations to your Azurewood Empire in advance." The red-skinned man offered his congratulations.
"My Azurewood Empire only has this one promising Genius." Torres replied with a smile.
"Compared to your Azurewood Empire, my Molten Rock Empire..."
The red-skinned man sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, no need to mention it."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people remained silent, and Torres was no exception.
There was nothing they could do; although the Molten Rock Empire was nominally under the Molten Rock Royal Family, the true strongest power belonged to the mysterious Royce Family.
Not only the geniuses of the Molten Rock Empire, but also any Genius born within the surrounding thousands of Starfields would mostly be absorbed into the Stellar Training Camp, and then enter the legendary Molten Rock Secret Realm.
The Molten Rock Secret Realm, this was a crucial place for cultivating geniuses, comparable to the Ganwu Secret Realm.
The difference was that the geniuses cultivated in the Ganwu Secret Realm belonged to Ganwu Universe Country, while the excellent Genius powerhouses cultivated in the Molten Rock Secret Realm would even be recommended to enter the Core Region of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company.
This made many geniuses flock to the Molten Rock Secret Realm after receiving an invitation!
As a result, there were far fewer geniuses participating in the Pinnacle Genius Battle around the Molten Rock Empire. For instance, the geniuses participating from the Molten Rock Empire this time were basically those cultivated by the Molten Rock Royal Family and other domestic forces themselves.
"Torres, I heard that your Azurewood Empire has a super Genius who entered the Ganwu Branch of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company a few years ago."
A beautiful woman changed the subject, "Why haven't I heard you mention it? Is that person a Genius secretly cultivated by your Azurewood Empire?"
"I also heard about it. It's rumored that the Genius was highly regarded by a super powerful being from the Ganwu Branch." Someone added.
"I don't know much about this either." Torres recalled being threatened and simply said, "He must have obtained a great Opportunity, and thus quickly entered the Ganwu Branch of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"Oh? So, that little guy's luck is pretty good then."
"A great Opportunity, truly enviable."
The young men and women sighed, even though their identities were not simple, it was still very difficult for them to obtain Opportunity.
As these distinguished young men and women conversed, the battles within the 100 world zones continued.
Until the moment night fell, all survivors were teleported out, signaling the end of the world selection.
"Haha, I made it into the top 1,000 in the world zone."
"Just barely, only three spots away from the top 1,000. If only I had a little more time!"
"Alas, I lost at the last moment, otherwise with my points, I might not have been able to enter the top 1,000 in the world zone."
When the world preliminary ended, participants in their respective private spaces sighed, expressing their regrets.
...
Virtual Universe Ganwu Continent, Qingmu Island, Hongye Community.
"Third place in the world selection, what a coincidence."
Thor sat in a chair on the villa's rooftop, holding a glass of wine and smiling at Luo Feng.
"Getting first place requires luck."
Luo Feng shook his head helplessly, "There were a few times when I rushed to first place, but I was still pushed down by the opponent's surging points."
"If you don't get first place in the world selection, there's no difference between second place and 1,000th place."
Babata floated in the air, arms crossed, "With Luo Feng's strength, it's not difficult to get into the top 1,000 of Ganwu Universe Country."
"That's true, with Third Brother's strength, representing Ganwu Universe Country in the grand finals is no problem."
Thor nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, "However, the level of this Pinnacle Genius Battle is very high. Third Brother needs to work hard if he wants to enter the top 1,000 in the Universe."
"High level?" Babata asked curiously, "How so?"
"According to the information I got from within the company, super geniuses have emerged from Noah Universe Country and Huoyi Universe Country, and they will undeniably contend for the top spot in the overall Universe ranking."
Thor sighed, "Aside from these two super geniuses, everyone else can only compete for third place and beyond."
"Undeniable?" Luo Feng frowned slightly.
"Just two super geniuses, that shouldn't count as high-level, right?" Babata was puzzled.
"I've only heard of two super geniuses." Thor explained, "As for why they say the level is high, Third Brother will have to find out for himself."
"What you said, what's the difference from not saying anything?" Babata rolled his eyes.
"Babata, you can't say that either."
Luo Feng shook his head, "Even Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company believes the level is high, which clearly means the competition in this Pinnacle Genius Battle is very fierce. I need to seize the time to Cultivate before the grand finals arrive."
"There's definitely time."
Babata said, "According to past Pinnacle Genius Battle conventions, the arena battles will give some eliminated excellent geniuses a chance to revive, so there will be a Reincarnation battle lasting several years."
"With your strength, Luo Feng, there's no need to participate in the Reincarnation battle. It's better to comprehend the Law and Cultivate Secret Techniques."
"That's natural." Luo Feng nodded.
...
Time flew by.
Amidst the cheers of countless citizens of Ganwu Universe Country, the Pinnacle Genius Battle arena battles began.
Luo Feng, relying on his powerful strength, easily defeated opponent after opponent, entering the top 1,000 of Ganwu Universe Country.
The three-year-long Reincarnation battle that followed had nothing to do with Luo Feng, allowing him to Cultivate Secret Techniques and comprehend the Law in peace for three years.
After three years of isolated Cultivation, thanks to the Mosha Clan Clone's extremely high affinity for Space Origin Law, he was able to get started with the Secret Technique '10,000 Thread Flow' and could perform the second form of Yan Shen Armament—'Sky Piercing Form'!
Such astonishing progress made Babata firmly believe that Luo Feng could enter the top 1,000 of the Pinnacle Genius Battle, and even contend for the top 100, or even the top 10 spots.
And so, the Pinnacle Genius Battle grand finals began...
