Chapter 144 Wasting Talent, Gathering of Geniuses
Virtual universe, a floating island on the continent of Qianwu.
"Blademaster Marquis." The white-robed elder bowed respectfully to a man in golden armor.
The golden-armored man known as "Blade God Marquis" had a face covered in golden scales. The pressure emanating from his consciousness was so powerful that even in the virtual universe, it was enough to crush the consciousness of a universe-level expert.
"These are the Luo Feng and Ye Yang you were talking about?"
"Yes, today is the last day of the Reincarnation War, and this battle is also the most exciting one," the white-robed elder said with a smile.
"Hmm, from your description, Luo Feng's strength is now comparable to Rong Jun's?"
"Blademaster, look."
Immediately, the scene of Ye Yang and Luo Feng fighting on the arena appeared.
"Illusory bodies? They're all just illusions? I remember you said that Ye Yang once unleashed more than 200 illusions in one go, so why are you still entangled with this for so long?" Blade God asked with some doubt.
"These two are good friends. The final battle should be Ye Yang helping Luo Feng to unleash his full potential in movement techniques."
"Oh." Blademaster nodded, continuing to watch the battle between the two little ones on the screen.
"Hmm, not bad, really not bad. This Luo Feng is using the fifth-tier psychic weapon 'Dark Cloud Shuttle' so perfectly. He must be practicing the 'Myriad Threads Flow' flight technique, and has already reached the first level, 'One Thread Flow'."
"He can also unleash the second level of 'Piercing the Sky' with his divine weapon, and his basic skills are also very good—he is qualified to challenge for the top 10 in the universe."
"Haha, take another look at this. Ye Yang's strength is terrifying, and his soul attack is exceptionally powerful." The white-robed elder quickly retrieved the footage of Ye Yang's battle with Rong Jun.
"Um?"
Blade God Marquis squinted as he watched, his brows gradually furrowing.
"I think he has the potential to challenge for the number one spot in the universe," the white-robed elder said.
Blademaster Marquis shook his head: "What kind of nonsense is this?"
"Illusionist? Martial artist? Either one is quite good, but he insists on taking the more difficult path of illusion martial artist. That's fine, but look at his understanding of the laws."
"During his battle with Luo Feng just now, he revealed the fundamental law of wind, didn't he?"
"Wind, fire, metal, space, time—what kind of nonsense is this? Do we have to include a little bit of every single law?"
"They're completely wasting their talent! They're just taking advantage of their good looks and doing whatever they want!"
Blade God Marquis was genuinely displeased. Such great talent, yet he didn't know how to cherish it. Didn't he know that strong people usually need to specialize in one thing to achieve great success?
"Yes, I also think he will stumble badly on this sooner or later, but after all, he is very strong now and has a good chance of winning first place in this genius battle and entering the Primal Secret Realm."
The old man in white robes said:
"If Ye Yang had listened to advice and had been guided by an immortal expert after entering the Primal Secret Realm, he might have realized his mistake sooner."
"Heh? Realized?" Blade God Marquis sneered, "He doesn't have that chance anymore. He's going to suffer a huge setback in this Genius Battle! Number one in the universe? Forget about it."
"Huh? What do you mean?" The white-robed old man was taken aback.
"There is a super genius in this year's competition, who is much stronger than the champion of all previous genius competitions. His understanding of the laws of space surpasses most realm lords and is also higher than Ye Yang's."
"Oh?" The old man in white robes was taken aback.
"Just watch, this little guy will soon suffer. As for whether he'll never recover and fade into obscurity, or whether he'll reflect on his actions and learn from his mistakes..."
Whether he can break through his own limitations depends on him.
Blade God Marquis laughed and said, "However, your Qianwu Universe Kingdom is going to make a big splash this time, with three super geniuses who have a high probability of entering the top ten."
Within the territory of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, on a scorching planet with 100 times the mass of Earth and an incredibly dense atmosphere.
puff!
The savage young man cleaved a cosmic-level powerhouse in two, his eyes filled with unparalleled ferocity and savagery.
"~~~"
He was panting heavily.
"It's the last day. The Cycle of Reincarnation is over."
"I've also moved on from that day."
The young savage carried a battle knife, but his eyes were even more insane and domineering than they had been two years ago.
Her temperament has changed; she's like a completely different person.
No one knows how much pain he endured during the two years he disappeared. No one knows that all his struggles and transformations were because of that man!
After his battle with Ye Yang, Rong Jun snapped out of his daze and realized that he had unknowingly developed a deep fear of this man.
Although this fear was deeply hidden, and one wouldn't even realize it without careful analysis—Rong Jun still noticed it nonetheless.
"I, Tu Man, have never been inferior to anyone in my life, yet I am actually afraid of someone?"
"No! This can't be! I'm not like that! How could I possibly give up?"
That fear and withdrawal are like a brand on your mind; the more you resist it, the more it stings your heart, proving its existence time and time again.
Rong Jun knew that if things continued like this, his life would be over, and he would live in the shadow of that man for the rest of his life. He finally understood what the so-called "fear of death" really was.
This Ye Yang—his soul attacks can even destroy the opponent's consciousness!
It leaves the deepest imprint on the opponent's consciousness.
Once you've been defeated by him, leaving a mark, it will be very difficult to defeat or surpass him in this lifetime!
At the end of the match, when Ye Yang said "See you in the All-Universe Finals," Rong Jun understood the meaning behind his wide grin.
"He's expecting me to break through my limitations, to overcome the mental barriers he left me with!"
"Break through it, and my soul will be reborn, giving me the right to stand before him and fight him once more!"
Rong Jun knew that Ye Yang's last move was extremely terrifying.
Just like his own self-created secret technique, which is exceptionally terrifying among star-level sword techniques.
Ye Yang's self-created ultimate move is unparalleled in the universe among illusions of the Hengxing level!
If he had been hit head-on by that golden sun, and if Ye Yang hadn't held back, Rong Jun estimated that his consciousness would have been damaged even more severely, and the shadow in his heart would have driven him completely insane.
They didn't even have the chance to break through their limitations and be reborn!
He's really done for.
What a formidable opponent, what a respectable opponent!
"I will definitely defeat you!" Rong Jun vowed.
In the preparation hall.
"Everyone, let's enter the arena," an organizer from the Virtual Universe Company called out.
Today, there are no spectators in the arena, only 1000 geniuses who have emerged victorious from the Qianwu Universe.
Among them, Ye Yang, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and Hong were prominently listed.
After being instructed by the Lord of Time, Hong crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of light and became a 'law powerhouse,' making the cycle of reincarnation battles much easier.
It's perfectly normal for them to qualify.
Before the 1000 geniuses stood a giant over eight meters tall. The giant's bloody aura, gaze, and oppressive presence made the 1000 geniuses present break out in a cold sweat.
This is a conditioned reflex of the body, an instinct, so Ye Yang was no exception.
"Congratulations! You 1000 are the most outstanding geniuses in my Qianwu Universe Kingdom—"
The giant spoke to them.
It has been announced that the final competition for the true pinnacle of human geniuses across the entire universe will begin in a year and a half!
With over 1000 geniuses disbanded, Rong Jun and Ye Yang exchanged glances.
"It seems you've completed your transformation," Ye Yang said with a smile.
Breaking through oneself and recreating oneself is not exclusive to "True Intent Martial Arts"; everyone possesses this potential.
It's just that the "True Intent Martial Arts" can transform this potential into an even more extraordinary foundation.
"Thank you. Now, I will walk faster, more steadily, and further on the path to becoming a strong person." Rong Jun's eyes were firm, and he grinned as well. "And I will definitely defeat you!"
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it. Oh, by the way, you've got another rival." Ye Yang patted Luo Feng on the shoulder next to him: "His progress will definitely exceed your imagination."
Luo Feng stared intently at Rong Jun: "Shall we have a fight?"
Rong Jun thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
The three then went to the killing arena, booked a room, and started fighting.
Time flies, and a year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone was successfully conceived, enabling him to surpass Ye Yang's human clone in spatial perception.
Ye Yang has two human clones, and with double the 'Resonance Spacetime,' the combined comprehension efficiency is no worse than Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone.
With the help of his Demon Slayer Clan clone, Luo Feng broke through the bottleneck of the "Nine-Line Flow".
Ye Yang's original time law has improved by about 20%, but he has focused his main efforts on integrating the time law into his illusions and soul attacks.
Illusion and soul attacks are like a large force attacking the enemy from the front.
The Secret Art of Consciousness is equivalent to a special operations squad, which infiltrates enemy territory to carry out sabotage.
The special operations team is formidable, able to coordinate with the main force from within and without, making it easier to break through enemy lines.
However, if the enemy is too skilled and the special operations team has difficulty infiltrating, the main force needs to launch a more intense offensive to put greater pressure on the enemy and create opportunities for the special operations team to infiltrate.
The principle behind soul attacks and consciousness techniques is the same: they complement each other.
By incorporating the laws of time into illusions and soul attacks, Ye Yang's soul attacks become faster, more concealed, and more terrifying when they erupt, making it harder for his opponents to struggle.
In addition, his spatial comprehension continued to improve. In order to catch up with the gap between himself and Bolan, Ye Yang used the No. 001 metal like crazy.
Seek maximum efficiency, not maximum profit!
Every three days, a batch of metal had to be scrapped. In order to purchase these metals from the Immortal Alliance, Ye Yang squeezed his cash flow to the limit.
After a year and a half, his actual skill level reached 393 illusory bodies, which was indeed an amazing improvement.
My understanding of the fundamental laws of fire remains the same, progressing slowly, or perhaps this is the typical comprehension speed of a normal human genius.
However, because of the existence of two Golden Horn clones, even though Ye Yang did not actively comprehend the fundamental laws of metal, in this respect, 'metal' gradually surpassed 'fire'.
The amplitude of the body's exertion increased to 74. Through persistent effort, the amplitude of the mental energy finally reached 100 times the limit of the universe, starting from 99!
The total amplitude of the telekinetic force is 2400 times.
The second Golden Horn clone was upgraded to the seventh level of the cosmic level.
January 5, 2070 (China Time).
On Emerald Rock Star, Ye Yang's four avatars, two golden-horned behemoths, and two humans stared at each other.
"The war starts tomorrow. The first four trials of the Trial Tower won't be too difficult for me. It's just that the metal lifeforms on the third floor and the mechanical races on the fifth floor of each trial tower are soulless, which is a bit of a disadvantage for me."
"But although metallic lifeforms lack souls, they are still intelligent lifeforms, possessing consciousness!"
"I conducted experiments with Babata in the virtual universe. Babata, this intelligent life form, was slightly affected by my consciousness techniques. Although the effect was very small due to the extremely unique life form of Babata, it did have an impact."
Ye Yang knew that the so-called "secret technique of consciousness" that he had developed based on "true intention domination" was actually only a half-finished product.
The true secrets of consciousness can influence anyone who is conscious!
Unlike Ye Yang's effect on Babata, which was very slight, almost negligible.
But in any case, it's a good start.
If he achieves great success in the "Secret Art of Consciousness" in the future, even if beings like the mechanical race, metallic lifeforms, and energy lifeforms like the "Demon Slayer Race" do not have souls, he can still annihilate them with his consciousness!
"Fortunately, I have the Vacuum Illusion and the Void Return Armor Set for close combat, making my physical attacks much stronger than that 'Illusion Demon' Galesi. As long as I can get through the fifth and sixth trial towers, I'm confident I can pass the sixth trial tower and enter the first level of the seventh one!"
"It is possible to keep close behind Berlan, even using illusions to deceive him and borrowing the power of the beasts in the seventh trial tower to continue advancing."
On a floating island on the Qianwu Continent, one after another, peerless geniuses selected through the Genius Battle appeared.
brush!brush!brush!
Ye Yang appeared together with Luo Feng and Hong.
"Mr. Ye Yang, Mr. Luo Feng, Mr. Hong, please come this way," said the staff member guarding the teleportation point.
The three arrived at a square where hundreds of people had already gathered.
Rong Jun, Feng Lun, and others were among them.
"Hi, Luo Feng."
"Hong, long time no see—"
One by one, the geniuses greeted Luo Feng and Hong, who were acquaintances with them.
However, no one greeted Ye Yang, who was standing between the two men—the oppressive aura of the "Grim Reaper" was simply too strong, and more than half of the hundreds of people selected in the Cycle Battle had been defeated by Ye Yang.
That is, suffering from "fear of death".
The only person who had any interaction with Ye Yang and was able to overcome this fear and awe was Rong Jun.
"Your aura has become more restrained and mysterious. You've improved again?" Rong Jun's burly figure approached, his eyes fixed on Ye Yang.
"I suppose so, just a small improvement." Ye Yang nodded.
Suddenly, a loud bang!
An invisible pressure enveloped the entire square, causing all 1000 geniuses who had arrived to turn pale and tremble involuntarily.
"The 1000 geniuses of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, as ordered by the King, will be led by me!"
This is the giant powerhouse from last time, whom the geniuses called "Master Thirteen".
"Ye Yang! Rong Jun! Luo Feng!" The giant's gaze fell on the three of them.
"Thirteenth Master." The three bowed in unison.
"You are the three strongest geniuses in my Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and only the three of you are confident that you will not be eliminated and will break into the top 1000 in the universe." The giant said, "The king has high hopes for you, and I hope you will disappoint him."
"Yes!" the three responded in unison.
