Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 19 Invitation and Bloodline Evolution Agent

"Unstoppable momentum!"

"To date, no fighter has been able to withstand even a single blow from Hunzhen!"

"There was even a Martial King who was defeated by a Hunzhen fighter!"

"Oh my god! I can't wait any longer! Just how far will this meteoric rise of a supernova go before he stops on this path?!"

As I stepped out of the dressing room, the host's excited voice still echoed in my ears.

Having just completed a ten-game winning streak since becoming a Warrior, Hunzhen yawned as if nothing had happened.

Having reached the third level of the domain, coupled with his rich combat experience, Hunzhen is now qualified to claim the title of Giant Axe Warrior.

After mastering the Perfect Line Flow, he made up for his shortcomings and relied on his powerful mobility to gain a foothold among the Star-level Giant Axe Warriors.

And this was all under the condition that Hunzhen did not use his most proficient Ninefold Gale, but only used Flowing Blade Like Fire to train himself.

Therefore, even if you use cheap, low-level weapons to fight against these star-level gladiators who are at most fighting Martial Kings, it's no different from torturing children.

If it weren't for the generous prize money, Hunzhen wouldn't have any interest in playing with the children.

"Ninth-tier Star Realm, Third-level Domain, your psychic power amplitude and strength amplification are both extremely impressive. If I'm not mistaken, you also possess cosmic-level consciousness strength. With such a solid foundation, it's no wonder you've been able to achieve such an easy winning streak."

As soon as he stepped out of the players' lounge, Hunzhen turned around and saw a man with long silver hair looking at him with great interest.

The man was dressed in an elegant silver robe and had a friendly expression, but when stared at by those deep green eyes, Hunzhen couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure.

"Cosmic level? Or... Domain Lord level powerhouse?"

Hun Zhen felt a tightness in his heart, but he was not panicked.

He could guess to some extent what the visitor was thinking.

"good."

Seeing Hunzhen's wary yet unwavering composure, the silver-haired man nodded secretly and said, "No need to be nervous. Let me introduce myself. I am Roger, a second-level deacon of the Morning Star Empire branch of the 'Giant Axe Arena.' Simply put, all the martial arts competitions you participated in on Azure Star were organized by me behind the scenes."

As he spoke, Roger winked playfully.

"A second-level deacon of the Morning Star Empire? The Morning Star Empire and the Black Dragon Mountain Empire belong to the same level of mid-level cosmic civilization. This Roger is most likely a Domain Lord-level powerhouse!"

Hun Zhen silently made his assessment, then respectfully asked, "Lord Roger, what brings you here?"

"Hehe, Hunzhen, I've been secretly watching you for a long time. With your strength, you have a more than 50% chance of obtaining the title of Giant Axe Warrior. I have high hopes for you. As the manager of this arena, it's only natural for you to make contact with any gladiators you admire, isn't it?"

"Fifty percent?"

Hearing Roger's words, Hunzhen remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he chuckled: "The 50% that Roger mentioned is probably just the probability that I haven't integrated my understanding of the fundamental laws into my domain."

With Roger's keen eye, if Hunzhen were to unleash a technique based on the Law of Wind, Roger would surely be able to see that Hunzhen had already reached the threshold of a lower-level primordial law.

Unfortunately, Hunzhen has been focusing on studying the laws of fire during this period.

Although his understanding of the Law of Wind had naturally permeated his behavior, Roger was unable to see through Hunzhen's true nature because of the Law of Fire as a cover.

"Lord Roger, let's speak frankly."

Hunzhen looked at Roger with a sincere expression and said, "Someone as important as you is waiting for me here, surely it's not just a simple visit to offer words of comfort?"

Roger admired Hunzhen's attitude even more, and his eyes lit up: "You think you can completely ignore my power just because you're only at the Hengxing level?"

But then he sighed inwardly, "If that Genius Battle had been postponed for a few more years, Hunzhen might have been able to make a name for our Morning Star Empire on that grand stage. What a pity."

Because of his regret, Roger also suppressed his teasing intentions and asked directly, "Hunzhen, would you be willing to become a contracted gladiator for the Morning Star Empire branch of my Giant Axe Arena?"

Has it finally extended an olive branch?

He was secretly delighted.

The competition at the Giant Axe Arena is far more brutal than that at the Virtual Universe Company, and the Sims dare not accept the offer, but the True Man is different.

He certainly didn't intend to climb up this olive branch, but picking the fruit from it would be perfectly fine.

"These are a series of benefits for becoming a contracted gladiator."

As he browsed the list transmitted by Roger through the auxiliary computer, Hunzhen's eyes shone even brighter.

Without showing his joy, Hunzhen asked in a deep voice, "Then, what is the price?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Roger nodded and replied, "In return, you need to become a Giant Axe Warrior within ten years. After that, you will represent our Morning Star Empire branch in competitions with other branches of the Noah Universe Kingdom. If you break through to the Universe level, the time limit will be extended accordingly."

"That's like joining a club and playing in regional competitions with other different clubs."

"You understand pretty quickly."

Roger smiled and said, "How's it going? Becoming a Giant Axe Warrior shouldn't be a problem for you. And the regional competitions don't require a fixed score or death like before. Although there's still a casualty rate, it's generally lower than the risks and struggles in space that most people have to endure. Most importantly, the benefits in our arena are far better than becoming a space mercenary or adventurer!"

"indeed."

Hunzhen nodded.

His gaze lingered on the "bloodline evolution agent" in the benefits list for a moment.

Bloodline Evolution Agent is a treasure that can directly optimize one's foundation.

The protagonist in the original work would naturally look down on it, but for the vast majority of humans in this universe, it is the ultimate treasure!

It's not just about raising the level of life's genes.

Most importantly, when your genetic level rises from level nine or ten to level five or six or even higher, your comprehension, affinity for laws, and other qualities will also increase.

For those super geniuses whose growth is limited by their bloodline level, this is nothing short of a world-changing improvement.

In the original work, Hong was undoubtedly the top genius among the ninth and tenth levels of human beings. If he could use the bloodline evolution agent to raise his bloodline level to the fifth or sixth level, he would not become an ordinary fifth or sixth level human, but would become a level comparable to a genius among fifth or sixth level bloodlines!

For Hunzhen, if the speed of comprehension is increased by one or two times, it will not be diluted when placed in the simulation system, and the increase will still be one or two times!

All other rewards are optional; just considering this Bloodline Evolution Agent alone, it's absolutely worth it for Hunzhen!

"But I refuse!"

Hunzhen smiled wickedly at Roger, who looked completely bewildered.

The atmosphere suddenly changed.
