A mob of clones

Chapter 554: Fifty-three Prodigies

Dozens of geniuses slowly walked out of their own buildings, completely ignoring the hundreds of thousands of star-level geniuses in the square. Only each other's figures were reflected in their eyes.

They slowly gathered together in the center of the square, forming a huge circle, and faced each other in this small space.

"It seems like you are my main competitors in this competition. You look pretty good, but you're still a little far from being able to compete with me."

"Really? That's not necessarily the case."

"We'll know who's stronger and who's weaker after the competition~"

"You can't prove you're better than me just by talking."

……

As soon as they met, the Fifty-Three Geniuses started to attack each other with verbal attacks, like tit-for-tat.

Every pair of eyes and every face showed confidence.

Waves of invincible aura burst out from the bodies of 53 people at the same time.

It seems that the eyes of these fifty-three geniuses can only accommodate the people in this circle, and it seems that they do not take others seriously.

Such an arrogant behavior immediately aroused dissatisfaction among a large number of geniuses.

Although these geniuses were in awe of the talent and strength of these fifty plus geniuses.

Acknowledge these talents they are hard to match.

But this does not mean that they are willing to be looked down upon.

Especially the top ones among the millions of geniuses.

People like the savage Rong Jun, the phantom demon Galasi, and the prince of Manka Star all couldn't help but frown, with obvious displeasure on their faces.

Even the god of death, Bolan, whose temperament was like an iceberg, couldn't help but frown slightly.

However, feeling the terrifying momentum of the fifty-three explosions in front of them, no one was blind enough to interrupt, which only made the quiet atmosphere in the square even quieter...

……

At this time, on the other side...

Looking at the fifty-three geniuses confronting each other in the square, the immortal leaders of the one thousand and eight cosmic countries gathered in Restaurant No. 1.

The immortal leaders of more than forty cosmic countries all had smug looks on their faces.

That look and appearance seemed to be saying to the other old friends around him - "Look, look, this is the genius of our Universe Country. Hey, old friends, why don't you smile? Are you born not to like to smile?"

The immortals around him looked so proud that we all clenched our fists.

He looked like he was ready to make some move, as if he wanted to gather more than 900 other immortals to gang up on these guys who were getting too proud of themselves.

Of course, this never happened.

Most of the immortals present still had some displeasure on their faces.

After all, from their perspective, they can see that the geniuses that appeared in their universe this time are indeed very good, but they are not at the same level as these fifty-three people.

Even those immortals who are somewhat confident in the geniuses in their own universe estimate that their own geniuses can only compete for the top 100 places.

Only the immortal leader of the Noah Universe Kingdom had a slightly better look on his face. After all, although they did not have any of the fifty-three geniuses, they did have the god of death, Boran.

Although Bolan's talent and strength should not be comparable to those of the top fifty-three geniuses, it is still possible for him to compete for the top twenty.

However, after comforting himself, the immortal leader of Noah Universe Kingdom couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of unreality in his heart.

Even a peerless genius like Bolan, who still has a glimmer of hope of becoming a Space Lord, would be completely crushed if placed in the previous Universe Genius Battles.

However, in this battle of geniuses, they can only compete for the top 20 positions.

Is it his problem or the world's problem?

The gold content of this universe genius battle is a bit too much...

And just as the restaurant at No. 1 inexplicably fell into a dead silence similar to that in the square,

"Haha~, what are you thinking about? So quiet."

A loud voice suddenly broke the silence of Restaurant No. 1 and echoed throughout the first and second floors of Restaurant No. 1.

Immediately, all the immortal beings on the first floor turned around to look.

Then they saw the main entrance of the restaurant. A man in an ordinary green robe appeared at the restaurant at some point.

None of the thousands of immortals present noticed his existence until he spoke.

He was clearly standing there, as if he didn't exist, as if he wasn't in the same time and space as the other immortals present...

"boom--"

In an instant, all the immortals on the first floor stood up, including Thirteen, a total of more than a thousand people, and each of them bowed to show respect and uttered the honorific title:

"Meeting you, Lord Nine Swords!"

The person who came was none other than Venerable Jiujian, the general manager of the virtual universe company and the universe's top genius battle.

Like Venerable Qianwu, he is also a Venerable-level being.

However, the Nine Swords Venerable is considered to be a relatively young Venerable among humans.

Therefore, he did not put on airs when facing the immortals. He smiled and waved his hand to indicate that the immortals in front of him did not need to be so. Then he spoke:

"This time, my Virtual Universe Company is holding a genius competition. You major cosmic countries have given your full support. On behalf of our Virtual Universe Company, I would like to express my gratitude."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

Immortal voices sounded from the first floor to the second floor.

"Ah."

The Nine Swords Master smiled and nodded, then he also looked towards the square, with an obvious look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The first words of Lord Jiujian, thank you all for your strong support, were not false.

As the person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company's Universe Genius Battle, after this peak genius battle is over, the top thousand in the universe will all fall under his command, the Nine Swords Master.

In other words, these geniuses before him are the future subordinates of the Nine Swords Master.

Naturally, the more talented and stronger your subordinates are, and the faster they grow, the better.

It is already quite rare for a genius from a general battle of cosmic geniuses to emerge with the hope of becoming an immortal king in the future.

And this time, so many geniuses suddenly emerged in the universe's top genius war zone presided over by him.

How could this not make the Nine Swords Master happy? !

"They are all talented people who have great potential to become kings in the future. Who knows, maybe the next Universe Supreme will be born from among them."

After a slight exclamation, the figure of the Nine Swords Master disappeared in an instant, leaving only one sentence floating in Restaurant No. 1.

"You guys continue chatting, I'll gather those young people later."

As for this, the immortals in Restaurant No. 1 looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then all the immortals present smiled bitterly.

"Your Excellency?"

……

The view returns to the square.

The tit-for-tat confrontation on the square soon ended, and the fifty geniuses quickly dispersed without communicating for too long.

As the geniuses dispersed, the atmosphere on the scene gradually returned to its initial enthusiasm.

The chaotic discussion started again.

Some people expressed dissatisfaction with the fifty-three people for ignoring them.

"What a bunch of arrogant guys."

"Do you really think you are invincible?"

There are also people who are extremely appreciative of their performance.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what they did.”

"They ignore others because they are arrogant."

"If I had their talent, I would be even prouder than they are."

Some people also expressed disdain for this group of people.

“There’s nothing great about being strong for a while. Life isn’t about who laughs the loudest, but who laughs the longest.”

"How can you go further if you are so arrogant?"

Some people also expressed opposition to this.

"What do you know? They are not arrogant, it's just that you haven't reached the standard that they can respect."

"Just like the immortal gods never take weaklings of the star level seriously—"

"Asshole, what did you say? You want a fight, huh?!"

"Just fight, no matter who you are afraid of!"

Wherever there are people, there are quarrels.

However, listening to the rapidly chaotic discussions around them, Luo Feng and the other two, who had not expressed any opinions throughout the whole process, and Feng Lun looked at each other, with a helpless look on their faces. Immediately, they did not stay in this noisy environment, and walked together to another slightly quieter place.

However, as they walked, their pace slowed down a little.

Because the originally chaotic sounds around were gradually covered by another sound over time.

It seemed that under the guidance of certain factors, the countless people who were originally arguing slowly stopped their simple debate and began to discuss other things.

Luo Feng is very interested in these things...

"Xiao Yan is from your universe country, right? Do you know anything about him?"

"What a coincidence! I actually know this. These are all secrets that ordinary people cannot find in the virtual universe."

"Okay - then tell me~"

There are many more sounds like this around.

The total number of people participating in the second round of the Universe's Top Genius Battle is about one million.

As long as there are more people, there will be all kinds of people.

Just from what Luo Feng heard, there were quite a few people who liked gossip.

The characters involved include but are not limited to Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Han Li, Fang Han among the fifty-three geniuses mentioned above...

And coincidentally, Luo Feng actually likes this kind of stuff...

First is Xiao Yan’s.

"According to the information I have obtained, this Xiao Yan is suspected to be a descendant of an immortal."

"It's just that the immortal seemed to have died for unknown reasons, and his family gradually lost its power under the suppression of other hostile forces. In the end, there was only one cosmic-level warrior left as the patriarch of the family."

"And this Xiao Yan has been a genius since birth. Before he was ten years old, he had made the leap from an apprentice to a planetary level, and even possessed a domain."

"It can be said that he was extremely popular. When he was only ten years old, many families came to propose marriage to him."

"But later, for unknown reasons, the planetary proto-nucleus in the body disappeared inexplicably, and it has never been able to condense here."

"And he has made no progress in his cultivation for decades. He is known as a fallen genius and has not been taken seriously for a long time."

"The originally arranged marriage was also cancelled by someone else."

“And it was at that time that Xiao Yan left behind the beautiful saying: 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west, don’t despise the young and poor.”

"And he didn't lie. Thirty years later, the family was facing a crisis, and a domain master wanted to destroy his family. Only then did Xiao Yan show his strength."

"I didn't expect that Xiao Yan encountered the inheritance left behind by an immortal when he was ten years old."

"The disappearance of his pronucleus was the work of the intelligent life left behind by the immortal, in order to help him temper his mind and will."

"And Xiao Yan lived up to expectations. After going through all the hardships, he suddenly realized the law at the planetary level."

"With the help of the fortune left by the immortal, he broke through to the ninth planetary level within a dozen days and successfully entered the stellar level."

"It took several dozen more days to reach the ninth level of the star class, and I also comprehended the higher laws."

"He used his ninth-level star-level body and united the cosmic-level strongmen in his family to repel the domain master."

"He even created a secret method several years later, and used it to blow that Domain Master-level expert to death."

"Later, Xiao Yan participated in the Universe Genius Tournament and won first place in the preliminaries. He took a crowned immortal as his teacher and directly helped the family eliminate its former enemies."

"I know that Xiao Yan is less than a hundred years old now."

"He completed a great feat that his immortal ancestors had failed to accomplish before he was a hundred years old."

"Do you think he has reason to be proud?"

After hearing this, no other geniuses refuted, even Luo Feng and the other two couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"If there really is such an experience, it can indeed be called a legend."

"I just don't know how Xiao Yan cultivated. He is still at the star level, but his understanding of the origin law is so outrageous..."

While sighing in his heart, Luo Feng also heard another story on the other side.

Compared to the stories of other geniuses, he was obviously more interested in this one because it was the story of an acquaintance of his, the story of Kevin, who belonged to the same Qianwu Universe as him.

However, Kevin's story was not as clear as Xiao Yan's. When describing it, he mostly used words like "probably possible" and narrated it in a speculative tone.

This made Luo Feng look a little disappointed.

The man basically told a story about a planet that was about to be destroyed, and Kevin, as a savior, walked out of the planet to save others.

It can be heard that the other party is basically making up stories based on some hearsay information. A story like this basically has no much reference value.

"Alas~, I originally thought that I could learn about the general situation of the geniuses in Qianwu Universe in recent years from here, but it seems that I am too greedy."

But just when Luo Feng was about to focus his attention on listening to the stories of other geniuses, the final conclusion of Kevin's story suddenly made him stop in his tracks.

"I once heard a person who introduced Kevin to New Universe tell me a sentence that he once said."

"Why do birds fly?"

"Because they have to fly up into the sky."

"When the final meteorite falls in the Cretaceous, only free birds can escape from certain destruction."

"In order to prevent the sun from setting, I fly up to the sky and snatch your light. I will melt and fall into the sea."

“This sentence should contain strong Aboriginal cultural connotations.”

“Although I don’t understand what the necessary relationship is between the meteorites in the Cretaceous period and birds.”

"But after a rough guess, we can guess that only those who are strong enough can survive."

"And Kevin is the one who shouldered everything and saved everything."

……

What do the three objects, the Cretaceous period, the bird and the meteorite, represent? This group of aliens from outer space don't understand, but how can Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen, who are from Earth, not understand?

The three of them looked at each other in confusion, and a very ridiculous idea came into their minds.

"Could it be that Kevin Caslan also walked out of the earth?"

"Or maybe this guy is a clone of Wu He?"

If you have doubts in your mind, go find the answers.

Looking back, not long ago, Kevin had just returned to Building 0825 where the Qianwu Universe Kingdom was located.

The room he was in was either Room 1 or Room 2. Luo Feng and the other two looked at each other and then raised their feet to walk back.

Although the story still happening at the scene will still be very attractive, Kevin's identity is more attractive in their minds at this moment.

A moment later, the three of them came directly to the door of Room 1 of Building 0825 and knocked on the door.

Although Feng Lun is a friend of Luo Feng and the other two, this incident involves the Earth, so they did not bring him along.

Originally, Luo Feng and his companions had already made preparations and had been waiting for a long time, but what they did not expect was that the door of Room No. 1 opened directly as soon as they placed their hands on the door panel.

At this moment, Kevin's cold face appeared in front of the three people, and the voice as if the nine-day ice was transmitted to their ears.

"No need to knock, just come in."

Luo Feng and the other two did not act pretentiously and quickly found a seat and sat down.

Then they looked at Kevin in front of them, who looked quite young, but exuded an inexplicable chill from head to toe. They opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

Kevin was the first to speak:

"You should be wondering about my origins~"

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, his words stopped immediately because a series of sounds rang in his ears without warning.

"All participants from the 108 Universe Nations, gather at the central square."

Then, Kevin saw Luo Feng and the other two standing up unconsciously.

Not only him, but almost all the geniuses in the building, the square, and even the restaurant stood up.

Of course, since it is almost the same, there are naturally exceptions, and the exceptions are the fifty-three people, or the fifty-three clones.

Through the will of fifty-three people, Wu He, who was devouring the earth, also looked at this scene with a look of surprise on his face.

But after a moment he realized what had happened at the scene, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

He looked through Kevin's eyes at Luo Feng and the other two who stood up and flew out to the outside world, and shrugged slightly.

"I wanted to share some secrets with you guys, but since I was interrupted by such a coincidence, I'll forget it."

Then, Wu He, who was swallowed, didn't know what he was thinking of, and a somewhat evil smile instantly appeared on his face.

He tapped the stone table beside him with his fingers, smiled and muttered to himself:
“Since I’ve been interrupted, I’d better forget about hinting to them that this is my clone…”

"It seems like it would not be bad to be a predecessor of humans who lived 50,000 years ago..."

"Ha~, Luo Feng, step forward, in the name of saving the world..."

Devouring Wu He, he smiled, his gaze piercing through the vast distance and returning to the virtual universe...

At this time, the second stage of the battle of the top geniuses in the universe has officially begun...
