Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 133, but with a lot of class.

"When two equally matched opponents clash, the outcome depends on psychological factors such as their mentality, willpower, and combat instincts!"

Hong, however, firmly stated:
"I believe in Baldy; he will not fail easily!"

Minghai didn't say anything, but he felt the same way.

Thor's temperament is not much different from Hong's. Earthlings possess a unique soul talent that makes them stronger with each setback. Given Thor's temperament, he would most likely win in a fight between equals.

Thor's battle lasted a long time; even after all the other arena battles had ended, it still lasted for several hours.

The opponent grew impatient and became agitated. Thor skillfully seized the opportunity, calmly met the attack, gradually gained the upper hand, and finally killed the enemy at the cost of serious injury.

"Pretty!"

Hong and Luo Feng shouted in unison.

Not only Hong and Luo Feng, who are also Earthlings, but also the 100 geniuses in the stands and the thousands of geniuses who watched the match from the sidelines after it ended, were all amazed by this wonderful competition.

Even the Nine Swords Venerable, standing in the sky, couldn't help but glance at Thor again.

On the path to becoming a strongman, mental fortitude becomes increasingly important as one progresses. Thor's impressive mental fortitude earned him the admiration of the Nine Swords Venerable.

"congratulations!"

After the final arena battle, the ethereal voice of the Nine Swords Venerable resonated in the minds of a thousand people.

"You are the 1000 most outstanding individuals from the 1008 cosmic nations of the human race in this year's Genius Battle. Our Virtual Universe Company will dedicate all its efforts to nurturing you!"

"I declare..."

"Rankings 101st to 1000th will receive a bonus of 10 Chaos Units, the opportunity to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment, and the chance to join the core of my Virtual Universe Company, the 'Apocalyptic Secret Realm'!"

"Those ranked 11th to 100th will receive a bonus of 100 Hunyuan Units, the opportunity to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment, and the opportunity to join the core of my Virtual Universe Company, 'Heaven and Earth Secret Realm'."

"Those who rank 4th to 10th will receive a prize of 1000 Chaos Units, the opportunity to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment, and the opportunity to join the core of my Virtual Universe Company, the 'Primordial Secret Realm'."

"The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will receive a prize of 1 Chaos Units, the opportunity to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment, and the opportunity to join the core of my Virtual Universe Company, the 'Primordial Secret Realm'."

“Normally, the ‘Primal Secret Realm’ only admits one person per session. However, your session is of a particularly high standard, so after discussion, the top management of the Virtual Universe Company has decided to grant you three spots to enter the ‘Primal Secret Realm’!”

Upon hearing the Nine Swords Venerable's announcement, the eyes of the geniuses below immediately lit up.

Especially Rong Jun, Qian Shui, Luo Feng, Jiang Mo, Lancelot, Uka, Ai Chen, Long Yun, and Opatitra—these are all geniuses who are qualified to compete for third place.

In previous years, the Primal Secret Realm only accepted one person for the Genius Battle. With two freaks like Minghai and Bolan, what hope did they have?
But at this moment, their fighting spirit was rekindled!
Even Bolan's eyes lit up slightly, and a great weight was lifted from his heart.

If this year's Genius Battle is the same as before, and the Primal Secret Realm only accepts one person, then even he has no chance of entering the Primal Secret Realm.

Before the results of the Trial Tower were released, Bolan still had the idea of ​​competing with Minghai for first place in this Genius Battle, but after the results came out, his hopes were completely dashed!
He couldn't even get past the first level of the seventh trial tower, how could he compare to Minghai, who had reached the sixth level?

The power gap is too great.

They're so big there's absolutely no comparison!
During the year he waited in the central square for the Trial Tower assessment to end, Berlan appeared calm, but in reality, he was constantly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

The psychological impact and immense sense of loss brought about by the shattering of past pride are unimaginable for ordinary people.

"I wonder if he will travel through time and space?"

Bolan glanced at Minghai secretly and thought to himself.

Even before the Genius Battle began, he learned from his master that there were Chaos Steles in Chaos City, and each Chaos Stele represented a cultivation path.

At that time, Berlan had never encountered any peers who were even remotely talented, so you can imagine how arrogant he was.

Almost the instant he learned of the Chaos Stele, he decided to embark on the most difficult path of dual cultivation of time and space!
Even now, this idea remains unchanged.

But he was curious whether the 'Blood Demon' Minghai, whose talent was so amazing that even he was far inferior, would make the same choice as him.

"Probably? With such amazing talent, would he really follow the path of an ordinary genius?"

Berlan glanced at Minghai again, thinking to himself.

……

The next day.

The battle for the top three spots in the Four Great Secret Realms—the Primordial Secret Realm, the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm, and the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm—has begun.

As for the Doomsday Secret Realm, the top 1,000 have already been selected. Even if the last-place finisher can enter the Doomsday Secret Realm, there's naturally no need to compete. On the arena, Minghai cleaved his unfortunate opponent, assigned to him, to death with a single sword strike, and returned to his seat to watch the battle.

Luo Feng easily defeated Utvisk and entered the top 100. His prize money increased to 100 Mixed Yuan Units, which allowed him to enter the virtual universe company 'Heaven and Earth Secret Realm'.

Hong's match, on the other hand, was exceptionally difficult.

Hong's opponent was comparable to him in terms of understanding of laws and mastery of secret techniques. The two were evenly matched and fought for a long time before a winner was decided.

When two equally matched opponents clash, victory or defeat depends on their mentality, willpower, and combat instincts.

In this respect, apart from Minghai, who possesses the innate fighting instinct of the Blood Demon, Hong has yet to encounter an opponent.

Therefore, despite the perilous battle, Hong still managed to win the fight without any major incident, successfully making it into the top 100 and thus gaining entry into the Heavenly Secret Realm.

However, that's all for now.

Next, Hong Lian was not even qualified to participate in the arena battle for the Primordial Secret Realm.

As for Thor, although he performed well in yesterday's arena battle and entered the top 1000, his strength is limited and he doesn't even qualify to participate in this battle for the secret realm of heaven and earth, so let's not mention him.

After the top 100 candidates were selected, the Nine Swords Venerable appeared and announced the list of 20 people who would participate in the next round of competition for a spot in the Primordial Secret Realm.

Needless to say, Minghai and Bolan are not included. The remaining eighteen people are basically from the original timeline.

Gusiluo, Aichen, Wuka, Yifeng, Jialexi, Rongjun, Luofeng, etc.

Yes, there should be someone who was pushed down by the Nether Sea, which didn't exist in the original timeline, but that's not important.

As if by fate, in the battle for the top ten, Luo Feng encountered the highly popular 'Phantom Demon' Galesi.

The result remained the same: Luo Feng successfully defeated Galesi, entered the top ten, and qualified to join the Primordial Secret Realm.

The top ten to top five elimination round.

"Hello there!"

Standing on the arena, Ming Hai calmly and casually looked at Rong Jun, whose face was filled with despair yet also with fierce fighting spirit. He nodded slightly and greeted him.

"Blood Demon, I've always regretted not meeting you in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom selection competition. Now that we've finally faced off, although I know I'm no match for you, I still want to test just how powerful you really are!"

Wildman Rong Jun, holding the divine weapon 'Earth-Splitting Blade', was tense all over, staring intently at the Nether Sea, and said in a deep voice.

"What's so great about a stellar-level being like me?"

Minghai shook his head and said calmly:

"That great being who presided over the Genius Battle is the truly formidable one!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Rong Jun was speechless.

"..."

The 998 geniuses watching from below the stage, along with the 1008 immortal gods also watching from below, were all speechless.

"This little guy!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Nine Swords Venerable shook his head and chuckled.

"Brother Hong, what did Lao Ming just say? Did I hear that right?"

Thor, who was sitting with Hong watching the game, picked his ear and asked Hong a question.

"Brother Ming said that everyone here is trash, especially that bald guy in the white robe!"

Hong said irritably.

"hey-hey!"

Thor chuckled and took his hands off his ears.

"Grandpa Ming has a cold personality, but he has a lot of charisma!"

Luo Feng, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but laugh, secretly thinking to himself, "..."
