Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

If they all failed, that would be one thing, but among the geniuses of the same year, Bolan passed two levels in one go, and according to the guardian Baffin, he almost passed the third level. They didn't even pass the first level. How could they feel good about it?

Jiang Mo sighed, "The Bridge to Heaven is indeed difficult; Ye Feng is right."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement, cutting to the chase, "Ye Feng's two sword strikes defeated Bolan, causing us to overlook one issue: Bolan is still the same Bolan, and perhaps, because of the setback, he has become even more focused and stronger!"

The others nodded, and the atmosphere became slightly somber.

Not only had they failed to cross the Tongtian Bridge, but the huge psychological gap after arriving in Chaos City also left them feeling very depressed.

They are geniuses, super geniuses!

Which one of them isn't proud and arrogant? In their respective universes, wherever they go, they are the focus of everyone's attention and are always warmly received.

But when we arrived in Chaos City, it was both unfamiliar and powerful!

Nobody paid any attention to them; if that were the case, it wouldn't be so bad.

Ye Feng, who was in the same year as them, was highly sought after wherever he went. The difference between people was just too great!

Sitting next to her brother Jiang Mo, Qian Shui suddenly spoke up, "Who told everyone to disobey Brother Ye Feng and insist on going to break through the Tongtian Bridge?"

"Brother Ye Feng had warned everyone long ago not to rush across the Tongtian Bridge, but to first reflect and gain insight."

"If you don't listen to Brother Ye Feng, who can you blame but yourself for falling into this trap?"

Speechless, Qian Shui's words made a lot of sense.

Uka let out a strange cry, "Oh dear, I admit you have a point, but Qian Shui, there's something wrong with how you keep mentioning Brother Ye Feng!"

Ok?

After Uka's reminder, the others also looked at Qian Shui. What Qian Shui said was fine, but her tone was very problematic.

A pang of jealousy welled up in Jiang Mo, who was standing to the side. It was as if his younger sister, Qian Shui, called Ye Feng more affectionately than she called him!

Qian Shui's pretty face flushed slightly, as if her thoughts had been exposed, but she retorted firmly, "Instead of focusing on adjusting your mindset and cultivating, you still have the mind to worry about these things. You deserve to be left far behind by Bo Lan!"

Luo Feng: ...

Rong Jun: ...

Uka: ...

The gathering ended abruptly.

……

Virtual universe.

After finishing his chores, Ye Feng stood in front of the control panel in the manor.

"Request access to the Skybridge."

The command was given, and a cold voice instantly responded in his mind:

"Identity confirmed, Ye Feng. You have obtained permanent access to the Sky Bridge. Teleportation activated!"

brush!

Ye Feng's figure disappeared from the manor.

The Skybridge plane.

A vast, boundless, inky ocean surged ceaselessly, its roar like thunder. In the heart of this ocean, a solitary island floated. Along its edge, fifty-two floating harbors were arranged like a star ring, each extending into a long, cold, rugged metal bridge! These bridges pierced the sky, disappearing into the horizon!

Vast mist rises from the sea, condensing into thick clouds beneath the bridge, making it appear as if the long bridge is suspended above a chaotic sea of ​​clouds, exuding an ancient and boundless aura.

Ye Feng's figure suddenly appeared in the core square of the island.

Not far away, a man in a black robe walked slowly. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with deep stars, had four ears, and the area where his nose should be was as smooth as a mirror. Only the corner of his mouth held a smile that seemed to have seen through billions of years of vicissitudes.

"Ye Feng, I am Baffin, the guardian of this plane." The voice was gentle.

"Guardian." Ye Feng bowed slightly.

Baffin nodded, his gaze sweeping over the fifty-two paths to the heavens, a sigh escaping his lips. "The Bridge to Heaven plane arose in response to the fifty-two Chaos Steles of Chaos City. For countless millennia, humanity has studied the Chaos Steles, naturally giving rise to fifty-two schools of thought within the city..."

"Go, cross the first level of the Heavenly Bridge, and you will have a chance to gain enlightenment." Baffin's gaze fell on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng nodded; this was precisely the purpose of his visit!

"The Heavenly Fire Bridge is empty now, you can go and try it," Baffin said, adding with a hint of lingering enthusiasm.

Whoosh!

Ye Feng transformed into a blur, tearing through the air and shooting straight towards the "Skyfire Bridge" that stretched to the end of the ocean!

Inside the Tianhuo Tongtian Bridge.

As soon as Ye Feng stepped in, he received an email from the Virtual Universe Company regarding the points reward rules for the Tongtian Bridge. During the Chaos City period, the points reward will be 10 times!

Ye Feng glanced at it briefly, then broke through the chaotic airflow and flew towards the end.

At the end of the bridge, a huge, churning cloud blocked the way.

The rumbling sound in the clouds still echoed in my ears:

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat one to advance to the first level!"

Ye Feng's gaze flashed like lightning, and he made a decision in an instant:

"The first level will be a test of my sword skills!" Ye Feng's thoughts were like a blade. "One step, one imprint, measuring my limits!"

"I choose—the warrior!"

The clouds churned, and a drop of crimson liquid fell, instantly transforming into a mysterious swordsman shrouded in mist.

"Clang!"

Ye Feng drew his longsword, its cold light flashing! His figure transformed into a blur that tore through space, clashing fiercely with the gatekeeper! Sword light crisscrossed, and fluctuations of laws surged across the narrow bridge!

at the same time.

The Watcher Baffin tapped his fingertip in the void, and an email instantly traveled through the virtual universe:

"Ye Feng, the winner of the new Genius Battle and a personal disciple of the Nine Swords Venerable, has begun his ascent of the 'Heavenly Fire Bridge'!"

The recipient list flashed with breathtaking titles and the names of all the geniuses in this year's competition.

The central island is flashing with white light!

Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Wu Ka, the Qian Shui siblings, Jia Laixi... Dozens of geniuses who had not yet gone into seclusion arrived one after another! Immediately afterwards, more figures appeared.

Swish!

A solitary and proud figure descended—Bolan!

"Lord Baffin, which floor has Ye Feng reached?" Uka asked impatiently as he stepped forward and bowed.

Baffin smiled knowingly. "The third floor."

Um? ! !

The island fell into a deathly silence!

Dozens of eyes stared wide-eyed in disbelief!

How long has it been?!

"Ye Feng... he fought the gatekeeper on the first level for a while," Baffin added slowly, "but on the second level, the gatekeeper... was instantly killed by him!"

Before he could finish speaking, Baffin's voice suddenly rose, carrying a sharpness he himself didn't realize: "Huh?! Ye Feng... passed the third level!!!"

What?!

Berlan's pupils contracted sharply! His previously straight back tensed instantly, and he strode to Baffin, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "My lord! He... he really passed the third level?!"

He knew better than anyone the terror of the third level! For the past three years, he had cast aside all distractions and devoted himself to the study of spatial laws, believing his strength had far surpassed that of a genius warrior by several times! Yet even so, he still met his end before the guardian of the third level!

And Ye Feng... actually cleared the level in seconds, and as a martial artist, a skill he wasn't even good at?!

"The gap... hasn't narrowed at all?"

A fleeting, indescribable look of disorientation crossed Berlan's eyes, and the sense of defeat he had buried deep in his heart was torn open once again!
