Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 71 The Trial Space Ends, Turmoil Begins

"Alas, what a pity for this Hunzhen."

"In the end, he was still a step behind Berlan."

Many immortals lamented that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Many people, who had no vested interest, all looked at Hunzhen with "anger at his lack of ambition."

No one noticed the strange expression on the winged immortal's face from the Noah Universe Kingdom.

"This kid, really was going to hide until the very end?"

"Or... has his time law not improved at all during this time? So that primordial spirit weapon is just for show? Or has he already reached the point where he can control it at will?"

Even the immortal winged man had some doubts.

The main reason is that... after achieving immortality through lower-level laws, like most human immortals, he followed the path of spatial laws and didn't study time laws much.

Shaking his head, the Feathered Immortal also joined the heated discussion in the Immortal Community.

With the outcome of the match between Hunzhen and Bolan temporarily settled, their discussion naturally returned to the question of what level Bolan would ultimately reach and how many points he would earn.

However, aside from a very small number of immortals, most people believe that Berlan will be able to reach the seventh Trial Tower.

And Bolan lived up to expectations, but unfortunately, his early burst of energy had some impact on his final results.

Although they still reached the first floor of the Seventh Trial Tower, the number of Blood-Fur Cats they killed was far less than the more than five thousand in the original story, resulting in the final total score failing to break 10 billion, which the Immortals deeply regretted.

Immortal deities are called gods, but don't mistake them for academicians who delve into cutting-edge technology and only focus on studying laws to pursue higher realms.

Ordinary people are naive and ignorant of the ways of the world. Only scientific researchers have reproductive and social needs, unlike the emotionless research machines that others demonize.

The same is true for immortal gods. For the vast majority of immortals who have no hope of reaching a higher realm and who have endless lifespans, they stay away from conflicts most of the time, and pursuing pleasure is sometimes more important than becoming stronger and surviving.

Although Hunzhen is not as good as she is now, anyone with eyes can see that her potential is definitely not much less than that of Bolan.

The scene of two top geniuses, who appear only once every ten thousand epochs, competing in the Genius Battle is as rare as the appearance of a genius from ten million epochs. How could such a spectacle not excite and ignite discussions among the immortals?

If even immortals are like this, how can other citizens of the universe be exempt?

As the speed at which contestants are eliminated in the trial space gradually increases, the scores of the top two players become increasingly outstanding.

Starting from third place, the highest number of points is just over 800 million, and there is no one who has reached 1 billion. The points in the top ten are mostly distributed in a stepped pattern, with 500 million and 600 million points.

This indicates that many of the top ten contestants remained at the fifth trial tower, with few breaking through it, and most quickly failed at the first level of the sixth trial tower.

And what about the first two?

Hunzhen's points were over 5 billion, while Bolan's were over 9 billion.

Even though points cannot be directly equated to combat power, anyone can see at a glance that these two are on a completely different level from the other contestants.

Berlan was alright; before the rankings in the trial space began, most of the cosmic citizens who were paying attention to the genius battle already knew about this exceptionally talented individual.

And what about Hunzhen?

The fame of the Flame Demon is limited to the Noah Universe; on a cosmic scale, it barely makes a ripple.

Then, a very strange thing happened...

After Bolan was squeezed out of first place, the Virtual Universe Community Forum was in an uproar, with everyone asking: Who is Hunzhen?

With the powerful help of search engines, Hunzhen's past records were quickly thoroughly investigated by the citizens of the universe.

As the trial space drew to a close, more and more people unleashed their full potential and fought desperately. Finally, someone broke through one billion points, ranking third. But they were quickly overtaken, and soon, several more people surpassed seven hundred and seventy million points.

But no one has made any further progress, not even managing to break through the first level of the sixth trial tower.

On the contrary, it has further enhanced the value of Hunzhen's achievements.

at last……

Just like in the original story, only one person remained in the trial space.

Luo Feng completed his final breakthrough and began his journey toward the sixth trial tower.

Thirteen, the Immortal Scaled Armor of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, stared at the screen before him, his eyes shining: "Nine-Line Flow, he actually broke through to the Nine-Line Flow realm at this moment."

If Luo Feng's performance had occurred before Hunzhen appeared, Thirteen would have been somewhat more excited.

But let's not even talk about Bolan. With the emergence of Hunzhen and the perfect "Hundred Lines Flow" as a precedent, the amazing performance of Luo Feng at this moment was somewhat overshadowed.

The trial space was undoubtedly nearing its end, and the vast majority of the millions of geniuses gathered in the central square of the vast continent to watch the scenes from the trial space.

Many geniuses who had clashed or exchanged ideas with Luo Feng were amazed by his progress and were inspired to fight him.

However, most people still focused their attention on the two names at the very top of the trial space rankings.

Just like in a gacha game, Bolan is the T0 level, and the next level T1 powerhouses each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Luo Feng is a newly added member of the T1 group.

Normally, everyone would be keen to discuss the strength of this new T1 card.

But not long ago, a dark horse with a T0.5 rating emerged, and it's impossible not to pay attention to it.

The latest novel is first published here!

The new T1 will have to wait a little longer.

……

"Fourth overall? Trials don't prove anything."

After finishing his pleasantries with his friends and receiving a thirteen-part beating from the giant armored man, Luo Feng returned to his rest room in the building belonging to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom team.

Thirteen's last words still echoed in my mind.

"Although a thousand people can enter the core level, the treatment varies greatly, and there are also hierarchical positions within the core level. This time, the spots for the 'Primordial Secret Realm' will most likely be contested between 'Death God' Bolan and 'Flame Demon' Hunzhen. As for you, work hard and fight your way up!"

"Wow, Luo Feng, this kid is quite like you. Both of you made rapid progress after the Genius Battle, experiencing a sudden burst of talent."

"Babata?"

A crisp voice rang in his ears, and Babata floated into view, his face mischievous. He said, "That Flame Demon Hunzhen is something else. Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect this. I thought Death God Berlan was a sure thing to win first place, but then this unexpected troublemaker suddenly appeared."

As an intelligent life form, Babata's internet surfing speed is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary humans. In the blink of an eye, he found a series of information about Hunzhen's debut. Then, with a wave of his hand, he was very happy to share the gossip he had found with Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's eyes widened slightly as he scanned Hunzhen's information.

Just like with Bolan before, even if Luo Feng didn't want to pay attention, he couldn't avoid hearing the name.

The same principle applies to the present state of Hunzhen.

Sure enough, even he, the last contestant to leave the trial space, was recommended something by his good friend Babata not long after he came out.

This was also the first time Hunzhen had come into Luo Feng's sight.

From the clip of Babata showing him the "Hundred Lines Flow" technique, Luo Feng clearly saw the huge gap between his current "second" and his "fourth" status.

The progress Luo Feng made in the trial space over the past year meant that he was no longer as shocked as he had been when he first met Bolan, by Bolan's understanding of the spatial laws that allowed him to create hundreds of illusions.

The same applies to Hunzhen, whose understanding of the laws of analogy to that of Bolan is far inferior.

"Hunzhen? There's no need to compare myself to others; I just need to maintain my own pace of progress!"

Before they knew it, the next day arrived... the day of the final battle.

Happy May Day everyone!
