Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 57 Rong Jun's First Appearance (Daily subscription requested!)

Jingyue was eliminated.

This caused a huge stir in the 6th World Zone, and many participants noticed it when they opened the leaderboard.

The 'Pure Moon' that once dominated the 6th World District is gone.

They've dropped to second place!
The only possibility is that he lost.

replaced by:
Contestant: Luo Feng (Heilongshan Empire)!
Who is Luo Feng?

This question filled the minds of every participant in the 6th World Zone; they had no idea how such a person had suddenly appeared.

Of course, the countless citizens of the universe who were watching the Genius Battle from the outside world also had the same question. The entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom has countless civilizations and countless star systems, but in this Genius Battle, there are only one hundred world zones.

The competition is extremely fierce.

This is why as long as you get first place in the world region, you don't need to participate in the subsequent arena battles. If you have that kind of strength, you're not far off from being in the top 100.

Every first-place winner is highly anticipated.

The previous 'Jingyue' was undoubtedly a star figure. He was invincible in the Sixth World, sweeping away the remaining second and third place winners, and was truly unbeatable.

Not every world number one has this kind of dominance, and no one thinks he doesn't have the level of being among the top 100 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

He's even widely considered to be in the top 30!
However.
In just a moment, 'Jingyue' was instantly killed by a contestant who suddenly appeared, and the shock it caused was unimaginable.

The secret realm of dry witches.

Jingyue was eliminated, and he looked dejected. He never imagined that his journey in the Genius Battle would end in his first defeat in the World Zone knockout stage.

The next moment, a figure flew over swiftly.

"Ancestor?" Jingyue looked up and saw that it was her family's 'Moyue' ancestor. He was able to grow up to where he is today thanks to the ancestor's guidance.

Immediately, he hurriedly asked:

"Ancestor, I lost the first match, and I lost so badly. I didn't even see his move!"

If you lose the ring battle, you'll be placed in the losers' bracket.

Jingyue lost the preliminary elimination round in the world zone, which means he lost half of all his points. However, based on his previous points, he was still guaranteed to be ranked in the top 1001.

"Don't be discouraged. You've only lost once. The battle of geniuses isn't over yet," Mo Yue comforted her.

only.
After this battle, Jingyue understood in his heart how vast the gap was between him and a true genius:

"Ancestor, can I still make it into the top 1,000? That Luo Feng's strength killed me in an instant. There are probably others like him in other universes, right? What should I do? I really want to join the Virtual Universe Company..."

"Shut up!"

Mo Yue rebuked him.

Immediately he said:

"A loss is a loss; don't take temporary success or failure so seriously."

"Let me tell you. In the entire universe, and in the Virtual Universe Company, you are nothing, and Luo Feng is nothing either. In other words, in this year's Genius Battle of the entire Qianwu Universe Country, there may not be a single person that the Virtual Universe Company truly cares about."

Mo Yue's status as an immortal is quite clear.

Within the Virtual Universe Company, someone with his level of skill would only be qualified to lead a guard team for the geniuses of the 'Primordial Secret Realm'.
Moreover, he is a junior.

"Losing the battle of geniuses doesn't mean losing in life. Luo Feng, who beat you, will inevitably face an even stronger opponent in the finals."

"Calm down quickly. The king just said he wants to see you."

Mo Yue said something to Jing Yue, who looked dejected and forlorn.

Jingyue's eyes lit up immediately:

"Okay, okay, I'll get myself together."

"Well, don't be too happy. I guess the king is just curious about that 'Luo Feng,' which is why he summoned you," Mo Yue reminded her.

Qianwu Branch.

Immortal 'Manlu' watched the battle scenes in the sixth district keep looping, and felt extremely excited as she watched Luo Feng kill Jingyue with a single strike.

"This kid was hiding his true abilities so well!"

"Congratulations, Brother Manluo! This kid's strength is at least in the top ten, or even the top three, in the Qianwu Universe. Even if he doesn't have any outstanding performance in the Genius Battle, with his current level, sending him to headquarters as an internal trainee is a great achievement for you!" Jinli also smiled.

Manlu was thinking about how to prepare some gifts for Luo Feng and properly congratulate the young man.

A stellar-level being in his thirties.

"Although his strength is still not enough to get into the top 1,000 in the universe in the Genius Battle and thus enter the Doomsday Secret Realm, it's definitely not because this kid lacks talent, but because he's too young," Manlu thought to herself.

One can't help but feel a little sorry for Luo Feng's unfortunate timing.

Without the chance to compete in the Genius Battle, going through the internal competition channel would be much more troublesome... However, Manluo also believed one thing.

Gold will always shine.

That's how He Manlu got to where he is today!
World District 6.

"Even the first place player is only this good."

Luo Feng felt genuinely regretful, but he was pleasantly surprised to see Jingyue's ranking soar to the top.

Unexpectedly, the gap between Jingyue and him was still too great.

After killing 'Jingyue's' virtual body, Luo Feng found another place to cultivate again and kept an eye on the rankings.

He believed that no one would dare to provoke him.

And so, the last two days gradually passed.

Luo Feng only questioned a few people, and when he found out Jingyue's location, only Jingyue was the one who actually eliminated him.

Chaos reigned in the world zone, with many still striving to be among the top 1001. Luo Feng, meanwhile, flew along, observing the various battles.

Extremely relaxed.

Final countdown to the qualifiers:
321!

End.

The rankings for the Sixth World have been locked.

Luo Feng successfully achieved:
Number one in the world!

It still holds a commanding lead!

All of this stems from the solid foundation laid by Jingyue, which allowed him to take a commanding lead over the second and third place teams.

Even the eliminated Jingyue is still in second place.

The third and fourth place finishers had no will to compete. "Chen Qi, I imagine many forces throughout the Qianwu Universe Kingdom are searching for information about me, right?" Luo Feng smiled.

Chen Qi thought for a moment in the system space.

In the original storyline, Luo Feng was only in the 50s when he received a special envoy from the "Black Dragon Mountain Emperor" to win him over. The envoy said that if he could break into the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, he would be rewarded with a star system.

which is:
Milky Way!
And the current situation.

The original number one in the Sixth World District, 'Jingyue', was already a genius who had achieved first place with a huge lead, and was undoubtedly among the top 100, or even the top 30, in the universe.

However, he was instantly killed by Luo Feng in one move.

The sensation it will cause will probably be even stronger, right?
Earth.

In this timeline, the timelines of Thor and Hong receiving the Meteorite Star's inheritance, as well as their entry into the universe with Luo Feng, are all moved forward.

This allowed them to successfully pass the preliminary rounds.

Hong achieved a ranking of '178', while Thor ranked '631', both making it into the top 1001 in the world!

"Luo Feng, what place did you get?" Thor asked curiously.

He knew that Luo Feng was much stronger than him and his older brother, and by a significant margin, so passing the preliminaries would definitely not be a problem.

Luo Feng looked up and casually said:

"My ranking?"

"Number one."

As Luo Feng spoke, there was a hint of doubt in his tone, as if to say, "What's there to ask? Can't I get first place?"

"..."

"Impressed!"

Thor gave a thumbs up.

Hong also said:

"Next time, 900 will be chosen from 100,000 people. Luo Feng, we're counting on you to bring glory to the Earth! We two old brothers can't count on you."

"You haven't seen my brother-in-law's match footage yet. Once you do, you'll be even more stunned." Xu Gang was also at Luo Feng's house, and he casually chimed in with a compliment.

Since Luo Feng's status has risen higher and higher.

Xu Gang's current task is to try every means to show his face at the Luo family, increase his favorability, become a regular 'NPC' at the Luo family, and get along well with his niece and nephew.

By doing something this simple, the Xu family would be one of the most prestigious families on Earth, second only to the Luo family!

virtual universe.

During the same selection competition in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, a savage youth was watching Luo Feng kill 'Jingyue' over and over again.

"interesting."

"However, he's no match for me!"

The savage youth turned off the screen.

He felt that if he revealed more of his strength, he could easily kill that guy called 'Jingyue' in an instant.

If Chen Qi could see the savage and ferocious fighting scene of this young savage, he would definitely recognize him as:

The savage 'Rong Jun'!
After the match, Chen Qi asked Luo Feng to search for information about 'Wild Man Rong Jun'. After some time, they found a lot of battle footage.

"Rong Jun, in the normal storyline, the person who achieved the highest success in that year's Genius Battle was Luo Feng, followed by Rong Jun."

"And then there's Berlan."

Chen Qi looked at it.

This time.

The savage 'Rong Jun'.

It was matched in the 24th World Zone, ranked '4'.

Due to the butterfly effect, he wasn't in Sector 88 this time, nor did he encounter Thor and eliminate him.

His strength remains formidable.

However, in this timeline, Luo Feng would not be able to meet Rong Jun in the arena battle, because Luo Feng had already won the world number one ranking.

"However, in the current timeline, Rong Jun poses no threat to Luo Feng."

“I’m even a little worried that all the participants in this year’s Genius Battle have lost their Dao Hearts.” Only Chen Qi understands just how terrifying Luo Feng’s strength is now.

The secret realm of dry witches.

After listening to Jingyue's account of her experience fighting Luo Feng, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom confirmed some of his suspicions.

He felt like he was in the universe.

This Luo Feng is very likely the real number one!
He will be the participant representing his 'Qianwu Universe Kingdom' in this Genius Battle, and Luo Feng has made far too few moves.

They likely have considerable hidden strength.

It's certainly something to be happy about that a genius has emerged from our own universe. If Luo Feng can achieve even better results, then his contribution to the human race will be even greater.

That towering mountain of debt could be lowered by just a little bit.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said:

"Mo Yue".

“Your Majesty, I am here,” Mo Yue replied.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom thought for a moment and said:

"Pass down the order to reward Luo Feng..."
