Chapter 147 Berlan: Even if I can't catch up with the two of them for the time being, I have to stay in third place!
Luo Feng passed through the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge, and naturally, the other 999 geniuses, including Zhou Ze, were the first to receive the news.
To incentivize and stimulate competition among these geniuses, Baffin, the guardian of the Skybridge, sends an email to all the young geniuses in this year's competition once someone crosses a level of the Skybridge.
Of course, the geniuses who were still comprehending in the secret chamber of the Chaos Stele would not be disturbed by the intelligent assistance, while the geniuses who had already come out were all incredulous!
"I knew Luo Feng was strong, but I never imagined he was this monstrous!"
"Phew—that's insane! I was instantly killed on the first level, but Luo Feng actually made it past the fifth level???"
"Wow, even a super genius like Bolan, who is said to appear only once every tens of thousands of years, only made it past the second level, and Luo Feng went straight to the fifth level? That's too exaggerated."
"There's no comparison, absolutely no comparison. For us, Berlan makes us feel hopeless, let alone Naro Peak."
"We're really unlucky to have been born in this era. I have an elder who joined the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle. You know, in his year, only one person managed to get through the first level of the Sky Bridge on their first attempt. But our year, someone actually got to be the first to get through the fifth level!!! This is just too, too abnormal!"
All the geniuses were dumbfounded. The talent that Bolan had shown alone made them unable to muster any desire to catch up, and Luo Feng's existence was like that of a god to them!
In the primordial universe, chaotic energy permeated the air, and within the Chaos City stood rows of identical small buildings.
In one of the more secluded buildings, Bolan was meditating on the rooftop, after learning that Luo Feng had passed the fifth level.
His eyes widened in complete astonishment.
"The fifth floor—" Berlan murmured.
He knew that there was a big gap between him and Luo Feng. After all, in the Genius Battle, both Luo Feng and Tu Man could kill him instantly, while Tu Man, who had also killed him instantly, was killed by Luo Feng in one move.
However—he really didn't expect the gap between the two sides to be so large. He felt that even if he didn't cultivate the laws of time and space, he would still be no match for Luo Feng.
His current understanding of spatial laws is at most at the third or fourth level, but he has already experienced the differences between each level of the Sky Bridge.
Even if I can't catch up with them for now, I have to stay in third place—
Bolan was utterly defeated during the Genius Battle, so he was actually alright now that he learned that Luo Feng had passed the fifth level. After all, he knew that Luo Feng was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong. However, for him, it was still no match for the Genius Battle.
The continuous blows from the Genius Battle completely shattered his mentality, leaving his consciousness and will in utter chaos, and he was passively disconnected from the virtual universe.
In the main hall of a small building near the city lord's mansion in Chaos City, Zhou Ze lay in a nutrient tank soaking in nutrient solution. His body at the Hengxing level evolved very quickly. In less than a month, he would be able to evolve from the first level of Hengxing to the peak of the ninth level of Hengxing.
During this time, he was studying the secret techniques for breaking through to the cosmic level and browsing information from the Virtual Universe Company about breaking through to the cosmic level.
"This major breakthrough is much more difficult than I imagined," Zhou Ze sighed. "In the original novel, apart from breaking through to immortality, there were very few instances where Luo Feng was stuck at a bottleneck, even before he obtained the Golden Horned Beast on Earth."
"And after he possessed the Golden Horned Beast, before achieving immortality, there were no bottlenecks whatsoever."
"Now it's really my turn. I didn't expect there to be so many things to pay attention to: the Force, the body, mental strength, willpower, the soul, and so on—"
"Furthermore, one needs a certain understanding of how stars evolve into black holes, and there is also the risk of failing the breakthrough. If the breakthrough fails, at best one's cultivation level will regress, which is not a big deal; at worst, one will self-destruct and die."
"No wonder. Nolanshan got the title of Giant Axe Warrior, which means he had a 50% chance of breaking through to the Domain Lord level. He's almost out of life and still hasn't been able to break through."
"If breaking through to the cosmic level is this troublesome, it's hard to imagine breaking through to the domain lord, realm lord, or even immortality—"
"However, breaking through to immortality, normally speaking, might actually be easier for me, since as long as all the conditions are met, I just need to break through the original core orange—"
Zhou Ze sighed inwardly.
"However, I am different from others," Zhou Ze smiled. He could go to the "Master Teacher" system, find a few martial artists who are stuck at the Hengxing level, and gain their mind-body experience and insights that allow them to break through to the cosmic level.
This minimizes the risk.
"Zhou Ze, when are you going to conquer the Heavenly Bridge? Your apprentice Luo Feng has already reached the sixth level!" Babata transmitted his thoughts.
Zhou Ze was not surprised at all that Luo Feng had reached the sixth level. As Luo Feng's disciple, he knew his strength all too well.
Originally, Luo Feng had stayed in Chaos City for a year before barely passing the fifth level, but under my guidance, he passed the fifth level as soon as he entered Chaos City, which made me feel somewhat impressed.
"The Golden Horned Beast and its Demon Slayer Clan clone... truly darlings of the Laws of Metal and Space. No one without a clone, unless they reach the World Lord level, can rival them in the clarity of their perception of the laws!"
"Plus, with the added advantage of having superior comprehension, it's normal for him to have this kind of strength."
Seeing that Zhou Ze didn't answer him, Babata got angry like a child and appeared directly outside the nutrient tank.
He banged on the nutrient tank and roared:
"Zhou Ze, I'm asking you a question!"
Zhou Ze said in a doting tone, "Look, you're in such a hurry again—"
Seeing that Babata was about to go completely insane, he immediately said, "Why bother going through that thing? I can't think of any other purpose besides making me stand out."
"I don't lack points or money for the time being, and I don't plan to show off my talents to attract the attention of those super beings so that I can become their apprentice."
"As for the secret techniques, the first three volumes of 'Cosmic Evolution' are enough for now. As for the later volumes, we'll talk about that later."
"So, besides showing off, I can't think of any other use for breaking through the Heavenly Bridge. Even the Chaos Stele isn't that useful to me. It just helped me sort out the essence of space. I can make something like that myself with a little time."
"Besides, we'll be staying in Chaos City for thirty years. If we really need something, we can always go out and try again—"
Babata muttered, "Fine, you're right anyway—."
Babata is different from Zhou Ze. She has the mindset of a child. In her opinion, if Zhou Ze were to try to cross the Tongtian Bridge, who knows how far he could go? When he does, she'll have plenty to brag about when she chats with other intelligent beings.
However, Zhou Ze was unwilling, and there was nothing she could do about it. After all, as an intelligent life form, it naturally had to prioritize its master. Even though she did not acknowledge Zhou Ze as her master, intelligent life forms are quite stubborn when it comes to certain rules.
"Haha, Luo Feng has passed the fifth level! All the geniuses in this year's Genius Battle are in an uproar! I reckon it'll soon alarm the entire virtual universe's higher-ups! He'll be so impressive then, haha!"
Babata placed his fists in front of his collarbone, kicked his legs excitedly, and squinted his eyes excitedly.
She knew that even a peerless genius like Bolan, who was said to appear only once every ten thousand epochs, had only passed the second level, while Luo Feng had already reached the sixth level! The difference was obvious!
"Even the most talented person is still a genius, not a strong person—" Zhou Ze said speechlessly.
"What do you know!" Babata, who was initially excited, suddenly became dissatisfied when Zhou Ze said something hurtful. Her ability to change her expression instantly turned into one of displeasure.
