A mob of clones

Chapter 562 Devouring Wu He: Hey~, the dark scene
Time quickly came to the next day.

Today is the day when the final battle of the top geniuses in the universe begins.

At this moment, the Nine Swords Master, who had not appeared in front of everyone since the opening of the trial space and the general introduction of the trial space competition rules, appeared again on the big screen.

The rules of the competition were introduced to the top 7,300 geniuses in the universe who were present.

First is the task of the first phase.

Contestants ranked from 101st to 7,300th.

These 7,200 players will compete against each other under the matching mechanism of the virtual universe.

Those who win three games in a row will get a spot, and the losers will be eliminated.

There were 7,200 people, and half of them were eliminated in one battle. After three consecutive battles, only 900 people were left.

Moreover, the matching standard of the virtual universe is not random matching like in normal fighting games, but the best route is determined based on the performance of many contestants in the trial space.

Unless one of these 7,200 contestants possesses extraordinary skills that even the Mechanical Universe Lord cannot predict, the contestants who survive this matching mechanism will definitely be the strongest 900 out of the 7,200 contestants.

The quality of this battle of top geniuses in the universe is simply too high.

In the original work alone, there are no less than ten contestants who are qualified to challenge for the first place in the previous Universe Top Genius Tournament.

There was even a cheating player named Wu He who unscrupulously used fifty clones to occupy the top fifty.

A considerable number of extremely talented people were squeezed out of the 101st place and participated in this three-round elimination tournament.

And just as General Thirteen introduced before, the one who has the greatest advantage in the genius selection mode of the trial space is the controller.

Controllers and warriors with the same strength on the arena may differ by dozens of places in their rankings in the trial space.

The illusionist is at an even greater disadvantage, and with the same strength he may be hundreds of levels behind the master.

Therefore, even in the battle between the last 7,000 players, many of the top 100 players still frowned solemnly, secretly alert, and thought about countermeasures in their hearts. If they met one of the strong people in the picture, what would they do?
After all, the top 100 contestants in the on-site trial space are directly positioned as the core layer of the virtual universe company.

But where the four secret realms will go depends on how everyone is ranked after the selection is completed the day before the Battle of the Top Geniuses of the Universe.
They don't want their ranking to be pushed out of the top 100 in the next competition.

After all, they are all core members, but there are differences between the core members...

……

Soon all three games were over, and the winning and eliminated players were teleported out one by one.

The losing contestant had no choice but to end the game.

The victorious contestant appeared behind the top 100 contestants in the trial space...

"congratulations!"

The next moment, the figure of the Nine Swords Master appeared in front of everyone, and he sent his heartfelt blessings to all the victors.

"You are the 1,000 best people from the 1,080 universes in this year's genius competition. Our Virtual Universe Company will also do its best to train you. If anyone doesn't want to join the Virtual Universe Company, you can say so now."

It was silent. Naturally, no one said anything at this moment. After all, things had come to this point, and no fool would be idle enough to stand out and show off his difference.

After all, if they really did that, what's the difference between that and applying for a junior college with a college score of 700? !

By then, let alone in the company, their teachers and elders outside will not let them off easily...

In response to this, even the clones that devoured Wu He did not show up at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Venerable Nine Swords couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction.

Although he felt that this extra step was unnecessary, he was not asking completely nonsense.

Although the treatment of the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company is indeed generous, almost no one who has come this far will choose not to join the Virtual Universe Company.

But since we say almost, there are naturally exceptions.

Such a funny scene once appeared in a cosmic genius battle held by the Virtual Universe Company.

He was a core member of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. For some reason, he came to participate in the Universe Genius Tournament held by the New Universe Company and won a place in the top 1,000 of the universe.

In the end, when the Venerable who was in charge of the battle of top geniuses in the universe was preparing to take everyone to the initial universe to register and enter the major secret realms, that guy jumped out to reveal his identity and left carelessly.

That wave can be said to be a severe slap in the face of the Virtual Universe Company.

Since then, this question has been asked at the end of every battle between the top geniuses in the universe.

All I can say is that for every outrageous rule there is often an even more outrageous event...

People who can feel that the rules are outrageous are usually lucky, and outrageous things have not happened to them...

"very good"

Seeing that no unexpected incidents had occurred to the talented combat forces under his charge, Venerable Nine Swords nodded with satisfaction.

"However, you should understand that competition is ever-present in the universe. Competition exists everywhere. It is impossible for the thousand of you to receive the same treatment and the same training resources. Even my Virtual Universe Company would not dare to waste precious resources like this."

"I'll make an announcement."

"Among the 1,000 of you, the 201st to 1,000th person can receive a bonus of 10 Hunyuan units, enter the initial universe for contemplation, and join the 'Apocalypse Secret Realm', the core of my virtual universe company."

"The 61st to 200th place winners will receive a bonus of 100 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for contemplation, and can join the core of our virtual universe company, the 'Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth'."

"The sixth to sixtieth place winners will receive a bonus of one thousand Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for contemplation, and can join the core of our virtual universe company, the 'Taichu Secret Realm'."

"The first to fifth place winners will receive a bonus of 10,000 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for contemplation, and can join the 'Original Secret Realm', the core of our virtual universe company."

"Normally, the 'Original Secret Realm' only accepts one person per class, but your class is the most outstanding class of geniuses I have ever seen, so after discussion, the top management of the Virtual Universe Company has decided to grant you five places to enter the 'Original Secret Realm'."

"Under normal circumstances, the Taichu Secret Realm accepts nine people each time, but this time it accepts fifty-five people."

"The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm has ninety people, and this session has one hundred and forty people."

"This is the first time that such an improvement has been made since the Universe's Top Genius Tournament was held."

"I hope you can seize this opportunity."

After the Nine Swords Master finished speaking, his figure disappeared instantly, leaving only the magnetic voice echoing around.

"boom!"

The declaration of the Nine Swords Master was nothing short of shocking.

It was like a thunderbolt suddenly dropped on the calm sea surface, and almost instantly, the faces of the more than 1,000 immortals leading the team showed expressions of astonishment.

"The original secret realm actually absorbed five people this time?!"

"This has never happened before!"

"More than that! The number of people admitted to the Taichu Secret Realm and the Tiandi Secret Realm this year is nearly double that of previous years!"

"I originally thought that the Virtual Universe Company could only give out two or three places to the original secret realm, which would be the best it could do."

“I didn’t expect him to be so generous?!”

It’s no wonder that so many immortals present were so shocked.

The main reason is that the differences in resource distribution among the major secret realms are also quite huge.

The four secret realms, End of the World - Heaven and Earth - Beginning of the Beginning - Primordial, are almost the same as the four levels of identities. The resources obtained with each level upgrade are almost ten times more than the previous level.

When thinking about the resources that members of the major secret realms can obtain, even the immortals leading the teams can't help but feel a little jealous.

Inevitably, some people often sighed and lamented:
"Should we say it's worthy of being a virtual universe company? They throw so many resources at it without blinking an eye."

"I'm really envious. If we had been treated like this in that Universe Genius Tournament, I would have probably been crowned the champion by now..."

However, as soon as he said this, another immortal next to him glanced at him with disdain.

"just you?"

"Do not make jokes."

"If you were thrown into this class of cosmic geniuses, it would be a problem whether you could make it into the top 1,000. Even if the treatment of the top 200 was improved, what does it have to do with your half a cosmic coin?!"

These words were so true and so hurtful, just like a sharp bayonet instantly piercing into the immortal heart that was sighing there, causing it to explode instantly.

"Don't tear down people when they are in trouble, you bastard!"

……

Now let’s turn our attention back to the contestants in the Universe Genius Tournament.

As for the different treatments of the four secret realms in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, even among the many contestants with extraordinary backgrounds, not many can truly understand the details.

Therefore, compared to discussing the relevant treatment and the generosity of the virtual universe company, these players are more concerned about the subsequent competition process.

Therefore, someone soon opened the detailed rules of the last game that the Nine Swords Master had given them before leaving, and looked through them carefully.

The Universe's Top Genius Battle, the second stage of the ring match, the rules are as follows:

Nine hundred geniuses had just been chosen in the three rounds of eliminations that had just ended. The virtual universe system selected the best one hundred of the nine hundred who had finally obtained the quota based on their performance in the trial space and the three rounds of eliminations. They were Thor, Galesi, Carpenter, Lasha, Nex, Utvesk...

These one hundred people will have two one-on-one battles with the first one hundred people in the trial space who got the quota first, a total of two hundred people!

Those who win twice in a row are eligible to enter the Taichu Secret Realm and advance to the next round.

The losers of the second competition will be selected from the virtual universe into twenty people for a knockout round, and the ten winners will be eligible to enter the Taichu Secret Realm.

The one hundred and forty people who failed were eligible to enter the secret realm of heaven and earth.

The remaining eight hundred people all entered the secret realm of the end of the world.

Among the sixty winners, the best twenty will be selected based on the virtual universe system. These twenty will then fight two one-on-one battles to select the top ten.

The top five will be selected from the top ten and enter the original secret realm.

A detailed battle list is attached...

……

Seeing this rule table which was almost the same as in the original book, the many clones that devoured Wu He nodded slightly.

The news that Venerable Qian Wu had previously informed Kevin and Zhongli about the rule changes was naturally also shared with all the clones participating in the Universe Genius Battle.

Although this kind of thing is actually unnecessary, but Wu He took into account that his Zhongli incarnation only verbally stated that he had more than fifty clones of the previous one hundred but did not explain the identities of any of them.

Although Venerable Qian Wu did not ask, it seemed a bit insincere to do so.

So after getting the consent of other clones, he allowed the fifty-three clones in the virtual universe to share.

Therefore, seeing this change, the clones were not too surprised. They just tilted their heads slightly to look behind them and counted down secretly...

"3...2...1..."

“How can this be possible?!!!”

The sharp roar instantly resounded throughout the space like thunder.

Almost instantly, the last 800 contestants whose names were not called and who were not ranked in the top 100 in the previous trial space were in an uproar.

Everyone was blown away!

"You don't even give us the qualifications for a decisive battle?"

"unacceptable!"

"This, this is too much trust in the virtual universe system!"

The virtual universe directly selects the so-called "strongest 100 people" from 900 people, and directly determines the places for the secret realm of the end of the world and the secret realms with higher treatment later on.

This rule of the decisive battle is equivalent to directly excluding 800 people out of 1,000, without even giving them a chance to show their strength!

The one thousand people present are the most outstanding among the star-level powerhouses in the one thousand and eight cosmic countries in the entire universe.

It is said that even one genius among millions is not worthy of carrying their shoes for this peerless genius.

How can they be convinced by directly dividing strength and talent without even fighting? !
Of course, although they are not convinced in their hearts, most of the geniuses still have reason.

Although he felt dissatisfied, he did not show it too violently.

After all, he understood what the so-called peerless genius meant to a behemoth like the Virtual Universe Company...

Unless the talent of the protesting genius has reached a level that even a behemoth like the Virtual Universe Company cannot ignore, or the number has reached a level that cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, ordinary geniuses would only be dispensable consumables for the company...

But the world is always relative, some people can understand the situation while others can't...

"Virtual Universe Company!"

A sharp sound, like a blade in a torrent of water, suddenly rang out and instantly pierced through the noise that was noisy but not very loud.

It instantly attracted the attention of many people.

Especially the attention of Wu He's many clones.

Following the direction of the voice, one can see that the person making the sound is a young man who is over five meters tall, thin, with a vertical eye between his eyebrows.

The young man's face was ferocious at the moment, and there was madness in all three of his eyes. He shouted angrily towards the sky:
"I am 100% sure that I can make it into the top 200, or even the top 60! Why, why can the virtual universe system exclude me? I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!!"

"It's not fair! It's not fair!"

Seeing someone taking the lead, some of the eight hundred geniuses immediately turned their eyes and started to join in the fun.

"Yes! This is unfair!"

It is obvious that someone wants to fish in troubled waters and let the leader take the blame. Try to stir up the emotions of many people and change the opinion of Virtual Universe Company through the protest of many people.

At least, give them a chance to compete, instead of having no chance at all like now, and being directly beaten into the worst 'Apocalypse Secret Realm'.

And this trick was indeed effective. Soon some people were incited and started shouting in dissatisfaction.

"In real action, whoever loses will be eliminated. This is only fair, otherwise we won't give in!"

The many clones that devoured Wu He looked at the scene in front of them calmly. They did not have any mocking emotions, but just felt inexplicably curious.

In Wu He's previous life, he had read a lot of "Swallow the Star" fan fiction. Almost every battle between the top geniuses in the universe can be seen in the scene before his eyes.

After Wu He's strength increased and he participated in the plot of Swallowing the Stars, the plot of the original novel was almost disrupted by him.

Most of the famous scenes in the early stage were ruined by him.

Suddenly, he saw another famous scene that was not affected by his butterfly effect, which made Wu He feel quite novel.

Unfortunately, this famous scene will not last long...

Swallowed Wu He continued to count down in his heart.

“5……4……3……2……1……”

"Shut up!!!!"

Angry roars suddenly burst out from the front of the team like a wave
One thousand and eight powerful immortals in the distance looked at the chaos before them and roared in anger.

The terrifying pressure of consciousness spread out like the hand of heaven, directly pressing on the eight hundred people.

Regardless of whether they are causing trouble or not, without exception, in an instant
The eight hundred young geniuses from various ethnic groups turned pale and instantly fell to their knees.

The crisp sounds of "Snap! Snap! Snap!" continued.

But even so, there are still some people who are unwilling to give up.

"I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!!"

Among the kneeling crowd, the three-eyed young man who had made the sharpest sound of resistance at the beginning supported himself on the ground with his arms, his tendons twisted and bulging like earthworms, and he raised his head and shouted, still refusing to submit.

But the next moment, he fell to the ground and was completely unable to speak.

We had no intention of explaining anything to the immortal leader who was suppressing everything on the scene. We just glanced at him with indifference, snorted "Idiot!" and then went back to our original positions.

However, even though he was pressed to the ground, the three-eyed young man continued to open and close his mouth, obviously still unwilling to accept.

But at this time...

"If you have any objection to the duel rules of the Virtual Universe system, you can choose not to join our Virtual Universe Company. Our Virtual Universe Company will not force anyone to participate."

The majestic and ethereal voice came from the horizon and seemed to resound directly in everyone's mind.

In an instant, the three-eyed young man who had been opening and closing his mouth suddenly froze in place, motionless as if dead.

Seeing this, the leading immortals sneered and warned:

"How stupid! How can a bunch of you little guys change the decision made by the top management of the Virtual Universe Company?!"

“If Xiao Yan, Kevin and other geniuses who even we have to admit protest, the Virtual Universe Company might still take it seriously, because they are destined to be members of the Original Secret Realm!”

"But others don't have the qualifications!"

"Remember, you may be geniuses in your respective universes, or even top geniuses in the entire universe. But in the history of the human race, you are not considered top geniuses. You can only be considered as one of the ordinary geniuses. You are nothing to the Virtual Universe Company!"

"Going against the decision of the top leaders is a big taboo!"

"Does anyone have any objections now?"

There was silence on the field...

Seeing this, the leading immortals nodded one after another, and then they waved their hands and said:

"Now that the final match has begun, everyone should start looking for their own arena and opponents."
