Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 169: The Curtain Rises

The next day, in the virtual universe, on Black Dragon Mountain Island.

When Yang Wu appeared at Jiuxing Bay, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were already prepared.

"Brother Yang!"

"Third brother!"

Upon seeing Yang Wu appear, Luo Feng and the other two quickly greeted him.

Although Yang Wu and the other three are all on Earth now, they rarely meet because they are focused on cultivation.

"Is everyone ready?" Yang Wu asked with a smile.

"Hong and I didn't prepare much; we're just here to keep the prince company!" Thor joked. "Although we've made considerable progress in the past two years, there's still a long way to go before we're even in the top 1,000 of the universe!"

"As for the fourth brother, he now has the strength to break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe!"

"Making it into the top 1000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is quite an achievement!" Yang Wu exclaimed. "Brother Lei, give it your all and try to cross the threshold of the Laws during this Genius Battle. After it's over, you should be able to go to the Qianwu Secret Realm with Brother Hong!"

In the original story, Hong and Thor were in a coma for several years because they burned their souls to fight the Golden Horned Beast. Now, not only are they not in a coma, but they have also received the inheritance of Meteorite Star ahead of time, and are now showing their own style in the Genius Battle.

As for Luo Feng, his Golden Horned Beast broke through to the cosmic level faster than in the original work, so his strength was naturally stronger than at the same time in the original work.

Even now, he would probably be able to break into the top 100 in the universe.

With nearly a year to go before the actual finals, Luo Feng's progress is likely to be even more astonishing.

"Let's go, everyone!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

Afterwards, Yang Wu and his three companions bid farewell to their families and left in a hurry.

……

On various continents and islands in the virtual universe, millions of exceptional geniuses from 1008 cosmic nations are all teleporting to their respective cosmic nation's gathering place.

Located on a floating island above the continent of Qianwu.

brush!brush!

Yang Wu and his three companions appeared together on the floating island.

"Mr. Yang Wu, the three of you, please come this way!" A cosmic-level warrior standing at the teleportation point smiled and pointed out the way to Yang Wu as soon as he appeared.

Over the years, Yang Wu's reputation has grown increasingly prominent in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The personal disciple of Jin Guanghou, a peerless genius capable of breaking into the top ten in the entire universe...

Any title would earn him the respect of many powerful figures.

A moment later, Yang Wu and his companions arrived at a square surrounded by countless beautiful flowers and plants.

At this moment, a large group of people had gathered here, numbering in the hundreds at first glance. There were men and women, and they all looked different, but about a third of them looked similar to humans.

The physical appearance of Earthlings is considered mainstream in the universe.

"Yang Wu is here!"

"And that madman!"

"Thor, it's been a long time!"

Many people greeted Luo Feng and Lei Shen with smiles, with the most people greeting Lei Shen because he was the easiest to get along with.

As for a peerless genius like Yang Wu, no one would bother to greet him.

While Hong has a good personality, he still seems somewhat aloof compared to Thor.

"Windmill!" "Patro!"

Luo Feng was also greeting several people he was on good terms with.

At this moment, Rong Jun, who was over three meters tall and had messy hair, walked up to Yang Wu and laughed heartily, "Yang Wu, I will definitely defeat you personally in this final!"

His progress over the past year has been astonishing, and he now feels that he can now compete with Yang Wu.

"So confident?" Yang Wu asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Rong Jun said confidently, "You'll see when the finals begin!"

suddenly--

"boom!"

An invisible pressure instantly covered the entire square, causing nearly a thousand peerless geniuses to turn pale and tremble slightly.

Yang Wu wasn't feeling too good either, but when he looked at Luo Feng and the other two, he noticed something different.

Luo Feng, relying on the consciousness of the cosmic-level Golden Horned Beast, found it easier to resist than Yang Wu.

Thor, on the other hand, had it even easier because of his higher level of spiritual cultivation.

As for Hong, his performance was very similar to that of the other geniuses, and there was nothing special about him at all.

But Yang Wu knew that his cultivation level was the highest, and even if a King-level Immortal used illusions on him, it would probably have no effect.

Of course, Hong could only resist illusions. If it were a soul attack, even if it was cast by a domain lord-level expert, Hong probably wouldn't be able to withstand it now.

As footsteps approached, a person dressed in scale armor and wearing a huge helmet walked over, and the aura emanating from him was as if the Grim Reaper had descended.

The strong, bloody stench filled everyone with involuntary fear!

"The thousand geniuses of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom will be led by me, as ordered by the King."

The giant's voice boomed, and his eyes, hidden beneath his helmet, exuded immense pressure: "You may call me 'Lord Thirteen,' understand?"

"clear!"

Yang Wu and the other thousand peerless geniuses spontaneously responded in unison.

A thousand geniuses, before this scaled giant, are as small as ants, and naturally feel fear. This is pure instinct, an instinct that cannot be suppressed.

"Yang Wu! Rong Jun!" The scaled giant's gaze fell on Yang Wu and Rong Jun.

"Thirteenth Master!" Yang Wu and his companion bowed slightly in greeting.

"You two are the most promising among this batch from our Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

The giant in the scaled armor said, "The king has high hopes for you and hopes you will work hard, understand?"

Because Luo Feng did not unleash his strongest power in the Reincarnation Battle, he was not favored by anyone at this time.

"Yes," Yang Wu and Rong Jun replied respectfully.

"As for the others, there's not much hope!" The giant in the scaled armor robe said coldly, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Immediately, many of the young people clenched their fists, eager to try.

"Hmph! Don't be so unconvinced. Strength isn't something you can just talk about; it's demonstrated through battle!"

The giant in the scaled armor said coldly, "Besides Yang Wu and Rong Jun, the strongest among you is Luo Feng. He might have managed to break into the top 1000 in previous years, but this year, many geniuses from other cosmic nations have emerged!"

"It would be quite good if Luo Feng managed to break into the top 2,000 this time; his chances of breaking into the top 1,000 are very slim!"

"certainly!"

"You too can create miracles! Throughout history, there have been many extraordinary geniuses who started out as ordinary, but suddenly exploded in the final showdown."

The scaled giant laughed and said, "I also look forward to seeing what miracles you can create!"

"Alright, let's go!"

These unparalleled geniuses from different star regions of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom were all hoping that they could shine in the upcoming genius battle, just as the Scaled Giant had said, and then break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe.

Subsequently, these geniuses, led by the Scaled Giant, were transported together to a brand-new dimension created by the Virtual Universe Company.

This is a vast continent.

There are 1008 magnificent buildings on the mainland, and in the center of the buildings is a square filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. At this time, many geniuses from other universe countries are already strolling and chatting in the square, and at a glance, there are already more than 100,000 people.

The geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom were assigned to Building 0825. After replying to the management, the giant in the scale armor robe led Yang Wu and the others to fly towards the plaza.

"Land!" the scaled giant roared.

The geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom quickly landed at the edge of the plaza and then walked along the road toward Building 0825. The plaza had a dedicated passage leading to each building.

"Look, that Building 0825 belongs to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. It seems all these people are geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. I wonder which ones are Yang Wu and Rong Jun?"

"Yes! It's the team from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. I watched the video of Yang Wu and Rong Jun's battle, and their strength is really too strong! Look, that guy dressed as a savage is Rong Jun, and the young man next to him is the even more powerful Yang Wu."

"Several years ago, Yang Wu was already able to unleash the second form of the Overlord Spear!"

"The second level of the Overlord Spear? That's insane!"

In the square, many geniuses from other universe countries looked at the team of geniuses from the Qianwu universe country from afar and began to discuss among themselves.

There are over a million geniuses across the various universe nations, so it's impossible for them all to be known by everyone. However, after intelligence gathering, the top geniuses of each universe nation have already become famous.

In the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, only Yang Wu and Rong Jun, two unparalleled geniuses who have entered the realm of dual origin laws, have received such treatment.

As for the others, they are not very well-known.

The geniuses of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom naturally heard the discussions of others, and most of them were secretly working hard, hoping to become a new dark horse in the upcoming competition.

Each of them is a prodigy, a peerless genius, in their respective star system.

But here, they don't even have the right to be glanced at.

Whether it was the Scaled Giant "Thirteenth Master" or the geniuses from other cosmic nations, all they saw were Yang Wu and Rong Jun.

Luo Feng, standing to the side, remained calm. He believed that he would definitely shine in this highly anticipated battle of geniuses.

If you don't call it, it's a blockbuster!
