Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 64 Unstoppable Momentum

Having broken through the chaotic arena phase, it will take several more days before the one-on-one elimination matches begin.

Hunzhen shrugged and moved to the audience seats.

Suddenly, he felt a prickling sensation on his back. He turned around abruptly and saw a man in white standing on the steps of the audience, staring at him.

Hunzhen immediately raised an eyebrow.

He originally thought that this arrogant guy would never pay attention to a weakling whose strength was less than one percent of his own, but now it seems... that's not the case.

That's really strange.

He waved his arm, intending to strike up a conversation.

That person spoke first.

"Your understanding of time has improved again."

Berlan stared at Hunzhen, his eyes sharp: "At an astonishing speed."

Berlan recalled the scene he had witnessed on the arena, where Hunzhen unleashed his time domain and instantly slayed the tiger-striped man at the forefront.

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

He wouldn't normally pay so much attention to an "unknown person".

But what if this unknown person's talent in the laws of time is comparable to his own in the laws of space?

Berlan didn't care about many things, but the law of time happened to be one of them.

This man, who had given the audience a special impression, had briefly looked up his opponent's information after the match.

Perhaps because Berlan spends too little time online, his limited browsing history was given greater weight by big data, and on this day, he was fortunate enough to receive a notification from Hunzhen about participating in the competition.

On a whim, I came here and took a second look.

And with that one glance, he immediately discovered Hunzhen's astonishing progress.

As is well known, integrating higher-level laws into a domain is several times more difficult than integrating lower-level laws. While Hunzhen's domain has not yet achieved complete mastery of the laws of time, it already possesses a subtle flavor of time itself.

A month after the tournament, Berlan was completely convinced of his dominant position in the battle of geniuses, confident that no opponent could surpass him, and he did not take anyone seriously.

Even though the young man who had once amazed him had a high level of understanding of the laws of time, he was still not even one percent as good as him in that respect.

Until—he took that extra glance.

If Hunzhen maintains his current rate of progress, he might become the only one who can be considered his opponent in the battle of geniuses.

Faced with Bolan's proactive greeting, Hunzhen's smile, which hadn't even had a chance to bloom, died in its infancy.

Berlan will probably never know that this guy once planned to greet him with a bright, chrysanthemum-like smile.

Hunzhen has always been a guy with no bottom line, pursuing "freedom" in his behavior and actions.

Judging from Berlan's expression and his proactive provocation, it's easy to guess what he's thinking.

Hunzhen inexplicably thought of two classic novel characters—Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.

"Is this guy perhaps taking a liking to my genius and feeling a sense of camaraderie?"

Immediately, his smile vanished, his eyebrows furrowed, the corners of his mouth turned down slightly, and he looked back at me with a cold expression, saying, "Next time we fight, I will not lose again."

Berlan's brow twitched.

Given Hunzhen's current strength, passing the Universe Nation's preliminary selection is a certainty.

According to the mutual exclusion law of the same universe implied in previous genius battles, the two can only fight again in the final selection arena.

Three years, four years, five years?

In short, it won't be too early.

Bolan instantly understood Hunzhen's meaning, but still spoke in a calm tone, turning away with a flick of his sleeve: "You can't catch up with me."

Having said that, without waiting for Hunzhen's reply, he chose to log out.

"Hmph."

After Bolan left, Hunzhen could no longer contain himself. A smirk appeared on his lips, and he secretly chuckled to himself, "I never expected this... this guy is a bit of a repressed pervert!"

Having made his own judgment about Berlan, Hunzhen stopped watching the game and left the stands.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. In the chaotic arena battles, only one in ten was selected, and ninety thousand people were eliminated in the blink of an eye.

In the subsequent elimination rounds, the teams battled one-on-one, striving for excellence. By the final fourth match, there were no weak opponents left; each player had the potential to compete for a place in the top ten or even number one in the world competition.

Inside the waiting room of the fighting arena, a flash of light appeared, and Hunzhen's figure materialized.

Today is the final battle of the Hunzhen Arena elimination tournament.

"Mr. Hunzhen, please rest here. Your match is about to begin."

As is customary, a waiter came forward to greet them warmly.

Hunzhen nodded slightly, sat down in one of the only two seats in the waiting room, and looked up at the person opposite him.

call out.

A burly, rugged man suddenly appeared.

It was Hunzhen's opponent in this final battle, Tujue Wu, nicknamed "Chongshan".

This person has long, messy hair that reaches his waist, and his body is spread out horizontally, making him look like a human-shaped wall.

Hunzhen stared at Tujue Wu. When the elimination rounds began, the opponent had already been determined, and Hunzhen knew immediately that this guy would be his opponent.

This opponent is very strong, definitely one of the most outstanding geniuses in this generation of the Noah Universe Kingdom. If it were me at the beginning of the Genius Battle, I would probably have a certain probability of losing.

"The True Form of the 'Flame Demon'".

Turk Wu grinned.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Chongshan Turkic Wu".

Hunzhen responded calmly.

Tujue Wu revealed a set of gleaming white teeth and laughed, "Flame Demon, I've watched all your matches."

Hunzhen raised his head.

"I probably can't beat you, but I won't give up."

Turk Wu lowered his head, his eyes slightly narrowed: "Until the very last moment, who dares to claim victory or defeat?"

Hunzhen stood up, his gaze meeting Tujue Wu's. Suddenly, he grinned and said, "Chongshan, it is your honor to fight me at this moment."

Turk Wu's mouth stretched even wider, the corners of his mouth extending to his cheeks, just like the slit-mouthed woman in a strange story.

But the bulging veins on his forehead revealed a heart that was not calm and friendly.

"You'd better be as good as you say!"

The waiter looked at the two men, who seemed to be exchanging heated words, opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to silently step back a distance.

The two stopped talking and waited for a while before a waiter finally stepped forward to remind them: "Mr. Hunzhen, Mr. Tujue Wu, please proceed to the passage to prepare. We are about to enter the arena."

"Um."

Hunzhen and Tujue Wuying exchanged a glance, then stood up and walked side by side toward the passage.

Compared to the burning fighting spirit in Tujue Wu's eyes, Hunzhen's eyes were calm.

Suddenly, Turk Wu spoke up: "Flame Demon, I've said before that I've watched all your matches. I know that fire and space are not your true strength."

Hunzhen's eyes flashed: "You have a very good eye."

Turkic Wu said in a deep voice, "I will force you to use your full strength!"

Having said that, he took a big step and walked out of the passage first.

"Full strength?"

Hunzhen watched Tujue Wu's retreating figure and shook his head: "Tujue Wu, you're overthinking it."

Upon entering the arena, on the opposite side, Turk Wu was already fully prepared and ready to fight.

He stood on a dark yellow diamond-shaped foot pedal, with a huge, pitch-black iron hammer floating in front of him.

The diamond-shaped pedal is a flying telekinetic weapon known for its stability, while the jet-black iron hammer has a unique shape, with a slender and symmetrical handle connecting to an extremely square black cuboid hammer.

You can vaguely see straight engravings on the cuboid.

This heavy hammer is the main weapon of Turk Wu, one of the nine divine weapons controlled by him, a heavy divine weapon that combines earth and space.

Yes, Turk Wu, who looks like a melee fighter, is actually a psychic master who fights with telekinetic weapons.
