Could it be that this old ghost has been unlucky for too long, and even his primordial will couldn't stand it anymore, so it threw Lin Hao over to him so he could get a huge advantage for free?
The Nine Swords Venerable felt a slight regret, but this feeling came and went quickly. He smiled and said...
"Although Lin Hao has become your personal disciple, Qianwu, he was a genius I discovered when I was in charge of the Genius Battle, so he can be considered a member of my 'Nine Swords' lineage. You can't deny that."
"nature."
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom also smiled. He understood what the Nine Swords Venerable meant. This was an old tradition of the Genius Battle, but he didn't care. After all, the master-disciple relationship was the closest, and everything else had to take a backseat.
His biggest worry right now is that his disciple might be poached by the legendary number one figure of the Virtual Universe Company and one of the pillars of the human race—the Lord of Chaos City!
……
Virtual universe, the highest point of Thunder Island.
A palace shrouded in chaotic energy.
"Lin Hao?"
A calm and gentle voice echoed throughout the palace.
"No wonder this little guy at the stellar level has attracted Master's attention."
"With all these tricks this kid uses, you'd think he'd gained administrative access to the virtual universe..."
Amidst the chaotic currents, a faintly visible figure in golden robes murmured to himself, "I never expected Qianwu to have picked up such a talented disciple. Hmm, he definitely won't be able to handle him. When Lin Hao arrives in Chaos City, I'll personally oversee his selection."
Chapter 73 Hong, dumbfounded
"This is incredible! I'm going crazy! I never even knew that our Qianwu Universe Kingdom had such an outstanding genius!"
"Lin Hao is the pride of our Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"
"It would be too cruel for me to only know about his existence from this short promotional video."
"I just saw on the internet that our universe has not produced a genius who can barely rival Lin Hao for tens of millions of epochs. Note that it is only barely comparable. This is really terrifying."
"Rain God!"
Throughout the hundreds of millions of star systems in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, countless people are talking about the Genius Battle Ranking. Even people from other universe kingdoms are curious about the situation of Lin Hao, who tops the ranking.
It wasn't until Lin Hao's promotional video finally appeared that they realized the voices that had circulated online were not unfounded.
More and more people are hearing his name.
This also aroused their curiosity.
When Janet climbed to second place on the leaderboard shortly afterward, and countless people realized that she was the girl Lin Hao had been holding hands with during the sixth world zone qualifiers, the crowd went completely wild!
"Nihao! Nihao!"
"I take back my previous criticism. This girl is barely good enough for my Rain God!"
……
The battles continue in millions of trial spaces.
The third trial tower, the seventh floor.
Hong's pupils suddenly contracted to needle size, and the silver spear in his hand spun rapidly in the air!
The domain of light flowing around him instantly collapsed into an all-consuming vortex, ruthlessly dragging the sky-covering Zerg battle formation into a strangulation.
boom! boom! boom!
The spear's edge transformed into a silver storm, and swathes of insect armor shattered and scattered in the light explosion.
however--
The half-dead Blade Zergling suddenly bit into the mangled limb of its own kind beside it.
As the carapace's lower mouthparts writhed wildly, the fragments were rapidly devoured and transformed, and the shattered thoracic cavity regenerated and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"The Zerg hive's weapons of war... truly defy all logic!"
Hong groaned, blood seeping from his newly opened wound.
"As long as these biological weapons are not completely destroyed, they can regenerate indefinitely by decomposing and absorbing the remains of their own kind! What's even more troublesome is that... the mother nest of the third tower not only has a skyrocketed growth rate, but the strength of its troops has also undergone a leapfrog evolution."
If the battle continues, defeat is inevitable!
A sharp glint flashed in Hong's eyes, and a spiraling, inch-force burst forth from his wrist!
The entire spear, like an ancient dragon awakening, raised its head and roared, causing the surrounding light field to vibrate violently.
Continuous shockwaves surged and overlapped within the domain, and a ray of light, piercing through the very essence of matter, suddenly condensed at the tip of the spear—
scoff!
His figure transformed into a stream of electricity, tearing through the swarm of insects, and his silver spear pierced the core of the mother nest like a comet!
In the same instant!
The sharp mental scream was like a poisonous thorn piercing into Hong's brain nerves!
"Destroy!"
Hong's eyes were bloodshot, and his will burned like a star.
The silver spear continued its trajectory without hesitation, transforming into a deadly ray that traveled against the light, piercing straight at the Queen Mother!
The slender figure curled up in the nest of flesh raised her emerald eyes, her alluring gaze locking onto Hong's figure.
Phew——! !
The swarm of insects transformed into layers of flesh and blood, forming a formidable barrier.
Just as Hong's body was being torn apart by the swarm of insects, the spear tip, infused with primal power, ripped through the mental barrier and pierced precisely through the Queen Mother's head.
……
By this time, there were already hundreds of thousands of eliminated geniuses in the central square.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
In just over ten seconds, a large number of people were simultaneously teleported to the central square.
"Big brother!"
Thor spotted Hong immediately, waved, and ran over.
"Brother, which floor have you reached?"
Thor asked with a cheerful smile, seemingly unaffected by being eliminated prematurely.
Hong shook his head and said, "The third one is on the seventh floor. He should have killed the Zerg Queen before he died, but he couldn't withstand the final counterattack of the surrounding swarm of insects and didn't get into the fourth trial tower."
Thor was taken aback: "You successfully cleared the third trial tower?"
This achievement is enough to rank in the top 100,000 overall, which means it's roughly in the top 100 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
This is a significant improvement over the results achieved in the initial arena battles.
"Could it be that Brother Hong, you have successfully crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of light?"
Thor asked.
If it weren't for this, Hong, with only the nine realms, wouldn't have been able to reach the seventh level of the third trial tower.
After all, Thor has now reached the ninth level of the realm.
Hong nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face: "Yes, it wasn't until ten days ago that I successfully grasped a trace of the fundamental law of light."
Thor was both happy for Hong and envious: "I'm still a ways off from touching the threshold of the fundamental laws. I only made it to the fifth level of the third trial tower before those mechanical puppets sat on me and killed me..."
"How are Senior Brother and Luo Feng doing?"
Hong patted him on the shoulder and asked.
Thor said, "Like you, Luo Feng has to stay for ten days before he can advance to the next level. He is currently on the third level, the seventh floor, and will soon be entering the fourth trial tower."
Hong nodded. He also used this time to grow, and was able to comprehend a trace of the law within the trial space. However, he knew that he could not delay any longer at the Zerg mother nest. If the number of Zerg increased, he would be unable to cope.
"As for that freak, Senior Brother..."
Thor's expression was somewhat mysterious. "Big brother, just look at the screen in the square yourself."
Hear the words.
Hong immediately looked up.
Then there was the screen that Thor specifically pointed out to him, the one Janet had...
This almost caused Hong, who had been calm and collected all along, to break down completely and exclaim, "Holy crap!"
He wasn't unaware that Janet had made it to the main draw.
He already knew the details and thought it was just Lin Hao using the rules to broaden the girl's horizons.
What did he see?!
She and Lin Hao were just teleported into the first level of the seventh trial tower!
Then, just like those immortals at the very beginning, I witnessed a scene that shattered my worldview.
When did Janet become so awesome?!
They could only pretend to be just like the other eliminated contestants, seemingly resentful, silently watching and waiting to see what the final outcome would be.
The reason why Lin Hao passed through the seven trial towers in less than a month, while it took him almost half a year to get to Janet's place, is that...
The main reason is that although Janet can share his understanding of the laws and combat skills, she is not him in person.
Janet had never experienced such an intense and prolonged battle before!
At first, she could quickly crush the first two towers, keeping her excited and motivated.
Starting from the third tower, she began to regret joining in the fun.
She did feel great, but no one can stand having a continuous, multi-day or even continuous period of pleasure—it would lead to sudden death!
As a woman with ordinary talent, being constantly filled with Lin Hao's abnormally strong understanding of the laws is truly deadly!
Although this experience would be of great benefit to her future growth and willpower development, as I said before, the intensity and frequency were too high and too fast!
Lin Hao noticed the fatigue in her eyes and advised her to leave a few monsters on each floor frozen and controlled without killing them, so that she could take a good rest.
