Chapter 155 The incredible quality of this year's Genius Battle! The strange apprentice in the eyes of the three Kings!
"What?! Clark actually made it past the fourth level!"
"The fourth level? This Berlan just passed the third level and came to the fourth level, reaching the same level as me. I didn't expect him to pass through and reach the fifth level."
"Heh, interesting. I wonder what Berlan is thinking—"
"I feel so sorry for Bolan. He finally caught up with them, but they just got promoted again."
The news that Clark had passed the fourth level and reached the fifth level of the Sky Bridge spread instantly to everyone in this year's Genius Battle.
However, before everyone could react, they received another email: Thor had passed the fifth level and arrived at the same level as Luo Feng and Tu Man, which was the sixth level!
"Damn, Brother Lei, you're ruthless—"
After reading the email, Clark immediately complained, "Can't they give me a sense of satisfaction that I've caught up with them?"
Above the Chaos City stood two imposing figures. One was an ape-man wearing golden armor, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through the void. The man beside him wore a white battle robe, was slightly thin, had a pale face, and two black horns. The space around him was faintly distorted and twisted. Most notably, he kept his eyes closed the entire time.
The two of them stood there, seemingly waiting for something.
"Boom!"
A large, curved, azure-blue spaceship appeared in the distance.
"Zhenyan, Tongnan!" A clear voice rang out, and a beautiful woman wearing azure battle armor and with flowing purple hair flew out of the spaceship's hatch. Then the spaceship disappeared.
"Longyu!" King Zhenyan laughed loudly.
The thin man in white robes, with his eyes closed, also smiled and called out, "Longyu, long time no see."
"You two have been staying in Chaos City in seclusion, rarely even entering the virtual universe, while I've been in the primordial universe. How can I meet you?" Long Yu smiled.
"Hehe, come on, let's get together at my place," Tong Nan said with a smile.
moment.
A building with an unusual style, where light and darkness seem to be in perfect harmony.
King Zhenyan, King Tongnan, and King Longyu, these three super beings who all hold extremely high positions in the Virtual Universe Company, are sitting together, enjoying fine wine.
As beings with incredibly long lifespans, even if they could extend their loved ones' lives for a thousand epochs, their loved ones would still have long since died in the long river of time.
Therefore, King Zhenyan, King Tongnan, and King Longyu had no relatives. For them, friends who had gone through life-and-death battles were equivalent to family.
The three were once in the same squad and were best friends who had gone through thick and thin together! Through countless hardships, their bond deepened.
"What brings you here this time?" King Tongnan asked.
"By order of His Majesty," King Longyu said with a smile.
"The Nine Swords Venerable?" King Zhenyan smiled slightly. "Is it for this year's Genius Battle?"
"Hmm." King Longyu nodded.
"The Venerable One values this group of newcomers very much. He had to leave Chaos City for some business, so he directly asked me to come and take over. That's why I'm here," Long Yu said with a smile.
"This is taking it way too seriously—" King Zhenyan sighed, "But it's true, although it might be a bit offensive, the Nine Swords Venerable is really lucky to be hosting this year's Genius Battle!"
Both King Tongnan and King Longyu nodded slightly. This year's Genius Battle was indeed one of the best in the entire history of Genius Battles.
Tong Nanwang sighed, "In the last Genius Battle, even the most outstanding genius among our Virtual Universe Company's 1000 geniuses only managed to pass the fourth level."
"But this year, three people passed the fourth level right from the start, and two of them even passed the fifth level. In less than a year, all four of those kids have passed the fourth level—"
Longyu Wang also sighed, "Recently, my Virtual Universe Company organized 1000 Genius Battles. In these 1000 Genius Battles..."
In the 30 years since the first visit to Chaos City, 4168 people have passed through the third level of the Bridge to Heaven!
"926 people passed through the fourth floor!"
"32 people made it through the fifth floor!"
"Those who passed the sixth level, none!"
Virtual Universe Company holds a Genius Battle every ten thousand years. In each battle, only a handful of people pass the third level, and on average, only about one person passes the fourth level! If the overall level of a particular battle is slightly lower, no one will pass the fourth level.
If someone is highly skilled, two or three might pass the fourth level, but in nearly a thousand sessions, only 32 people have passed the fifth level.
Not a single one made it past the sixth level.
"On average, only one genius out of every thirty genius tournaments can pass the fifth level."
Longyu Wang sighed:
"But in this year's Genius Battle, two people passed the fifth level as soon as they entered, and now there's one more. Clark will definitely pass the fifth level as well, and Berlan might even pass it in the end. His talent, which appears only once every ten thousand epochs, is absolutely genuine—"
King Longyu smiled and looked at King Zhenyan, saying, "Zhenyan, you've really struck gold! This Luo Feng is a rare talent that your Nine Universes lineage would encounter only once in tens of millions of epochs, yet he chose you as his master!"
Longyu King's seemingly derogatory words did not elicit the slightest displeasure from Zhenyan King; instead, he merely chuckled and said with a hint of smugness, "Of course, don't you know who I am? So what if I'm a little lucky—"
These words immediately caused the three of them to burst into laughter.
"Zhenyan, how is your disciple's strength now?" King Tongnan asked with a smile and curiosity.
King Zhenyan chuckled and said, "I know what you want to ask, but you know how difficult the sixth level is. It's still a long way off."
King Tongnan nodded and said, "That's true."
"It will take at least another year and a half—"
"You can say it all at once," Tong Nanwang would have rolled his eyes at this dead monkey if he hadn't had his eyes closed.
What's there to be so smug about? So what if you've taken on a precious disciple? So what if, if he can maintain this level of performance, he'll be a monster that appears only once every hundreds of thousands or even millions of epochs? So what if, as long as he doesn't perish, his chances of becoming a King or even breaking through to the Venerable realm are relatively high?
He doesn't care at all—
"Haha—" King Zhenyan laughed heartily.
After a while, King Longyu couldn't help but ask, "How is Rong Jun doing?"
King Zhenyan said solemnly, "This little fellow is not as good as my disciple Luo Feng in terms of understanding the laws, but his talent in creating his own secret techniques is truly freakish!"
"To create a secret technique at the Hengxing level is something that only a peerless genius among the realm lords, or a marquis immortal, can do."
"It's hard to imagine how this kid did it. Creating his own secret techniques ultimately relies on his understanding of the laws..."
Tong Nanwang reminded him, "His understanding of the laws of space is no less than that of Bolan, and has already surpassed most realm lords."
King Zhenyan sighed, "That's true."
"By the way—" Longyu King suddenly said, "What's going on with that apprentice? He seems to be quite familiar with Luo Feng and the other three, and they're even from the same universe country. There are also rumors that they are all disciples of that 'Holy Master'—"
Longyu King's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhenyan King and said, "Zhenyan, Luo Feng is your disciple. Have you asked him if the Thunder God and his apprentice are truly disciples of the 'Holy Master'?"
King Zhenyan laughed: "You know what, I actually did ask."
Longyu Wang immediately said, "Haha, I knew you couldn't hold back, hurry up and tell me—"
"Well, Thor and his apprentice are not formal disciples of the 'Saint Master,' but according to my disciple Luo Feng, they are no different from disciples; they are all learning from the 'Saint Master'!" said True King Yan.
It turned out to be the case.
King Tongnan and King Longyu nodded.
Longyu Wang asked curiously again, "What's the deal with this apprentice? I didn't quite understand earlier—"
"It's been almost a year, and he still hasn't crossed the Heavenly Bridge? What's he thinking?"
"Having received guidance from the 'Holy Master,' they shouldn't be unable to even pass the first level of the Sky Bridge."
King Zhenyan shook his head and said, "Luo Feng isn't too sure either. Anyway, after that apprentice arrived in Chaos City, he's been staying in the nutrient tank the whole time."
"I haven't been out much."
"Nutrition capsule?" Longyu Wang asked, puzzled.
"Yes, he's been staying in the nutrient tank ever since he arrived. Apart from one trip to Chaos City, he's basically never come out. I suspect he's working on breaking through to the Domain Lord level!" King Zhenyan took a sip of fine wine, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
"Could it be that he wants to break through to the Realm Lord level in one go?" Tong Nan laughed. "Those Domain Lord level geniuses have been stuck at their current level for tens of thousands of years. The qualification battle is coming soon. Once he reaches the Domain Lord level, it will be difficult for him to stay in the Primordial Secret Realm."
"Directly breaking through to the Domain Lord level is unwise, and there isn't enough time for the process to mature; the breakthrough also carries some risks—"
Longyu Wang frowned: "In the initial universe, instead of seizing every opportunity to comprehend the laws, he actually stayed in a nutrient tank? The 'Saint Master' himself is strange, and his disciples are strange too, sigh—"
King Zhenyan was displeased: "My disciple Luo Feng is nothing strange. Besides, even the Lord of Chaos City hasn't said anything—."
Longyu Wang said speechlessly, "Alright, alright, I know you cherish your precious disciple."
"That's right!" King Zhenyan beamed, showing no sign of dissatisfaction at being outmaneuvered.
This left both King Tongnan and King Longyu speechless and envious.
The three chatted and enjoyed the wine.
"Tong Nan, have you asked your teacher about the identity of that 'Holy Master'?" Long Yu asked.
"You've probably asked this too," King Tongnan shook his head. "Even Venerables don't have the authority—"
Those who have made it this far have more or less had a teacher with high status and influence, or a powerful patron like a ruler.
"Well, isn't it because your grandmaster is the Lord of the Universe? If your teacher can't find out, he might ask your grandmaster—" True King Yan chimed in.
"I don't know, but I think it's some hidden cosmic ruler," King Tongnan said hesitantly. "It's just..."
'
It's really strange. If someone had that kind of guidance ability, they should have been famous long ago, instead of waiting until now.
It's really confusing, who exactly is this Holy Master?
"Longyu, ask Zhenyan—" King Tongnan glanced at Longyu, then looked at King Zhenyan and said, "Zhenyan, haven't you asked your disciple?"
I don't believe you've never been curious.
King Zhenyan crossed his arms and said, "If it can be made public, then we won't be unable to find out anything. Of course, I can't say it. I can't force my disciple to tell me, can I?"
Longyu sighed and said, "I don't know what they're up to. Surely this 'Saint Master' isn't just an ordinary immortal, is he?"
'
King Zhenyan shook his head and said, "How could that be? My disciple's spatial essence was guided by the 'Holy Master'—"
The analysis of the space is very slow, but the future achievements will be very complicated, so the True King directly denied it on the spot, saying that the "Saint Master" is just an ordinary immortal.
Tong Nan nodded: "At least a King-level official—no, it can't be below the Lord of the Universe—"
