Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 107 Gathering of Geniuses
The first time Gu Fenghou taught Wang Xiu it took a full five days, but this time it only took two days.

The first time, Wang Xiu’s many doubts that had accumulated for two years burst out all at once, but this time it was only a short month.

The time is of course different.

Gu Fenghou also noticed the problem and said immediately:
"Disciple, you didn't have a teacher before, so naturally you have a lot of doubts in your heart. That's why I said before that I would teach you once a month."

"However, your comprehension is beyond my expectation. After just two instructions, you have almost understood the many doubts in your mind."

"From now on, I will come here once every three months instead of once a month."

Having said that, he was afraid that Wang Xiu would think too much, so he added: "To comprehend the law, you still have to comprehend it yourself."

"If you think of asking me when you have doubts, it will be detrimental to your understanding of the law."

"In the process of understanding the laws, if you encounter problems that you cannot solve, you can understand them on your own. If you still cannot understand them after three months, come and ask me for advice."

Wang Xiu nodded respectfully upon hearing this.

He knew that Gu Fenghou had good intentions and was afraid that he would develop a dependent mentality.

Seeing Wang Xiu being so well-behaved, Gu Fenghou couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.

He is a genius with extraordinary intelligence, yet he is also so well-behaved and sensible.

He really couldn't be satisfied with such a disciple.

After instructing Wang Xiu to practice hard, Gu Fenghou turned around and left.

Seeing Gu Fenghou’s figure disappear in the sky, Wang Xiu immediately turned and walked towards the training ground.

……

Virtual universe Thunder Island.

After leaving Wuji Island, Gu Fenghou went straight back to his residence on Lei Ting Island, the headquarters of the virtual universe.

To be honest, Wang Xiu's performance today really surprised him.

In just one month, he mastered the first and second levels of "Heavenly Questions".

Although he knew that this was the result of Wang Xiu's own deep accumulation of understanding of the laws.

But one month, such a short period of time, still made Gu Fenghou involuntarily think of the invincible figure in his genius battle that year.

The same extraordinary talent, the same exaggerated evil.

You know, compared with the second level of "Heavenly Questions" and the second level of Yanshenbing, it is only slightly weaker.

The average level of the top geniuses in the recent universe competitions is just at this level.

In other words, the moment Wang Xiu performed the second level of "Heavenly Questions", he became qualified to compete for the first place in the next Universe's Top Genius Battle!
And... there is great hope!
There are still about four years until the next Universe Top Genius Battle begins.

Four years is enough time for Wang Xiu to master the second level of "Heavenly Questions" even if his comprehension is poor.

Even according to the talent Wang Xiu has shown, it may not be impossible for him to cultivate to the third or fourth level.

"With Wang Xiu's talent, the training methods of ordinary geniuses are simply not applicable." Gu Fenghou looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "It seems that we have to think of other ways."

……

Virtual universe, Wuji Island.

In a manor in the first-class genius area, five young figures sat in the pavilion one after another.

The young man sitting in the center of the five people was quite handsome, but there was a hint of femininity between his brows.

"Emilia, I have invited you several times, and this time you are finally willing to come to me." The handsome man smiled and looked at the tall and cold woman in front of him who exuded a cool aura, his eyes quite eager.

"Kane, I came here for Lilia's party. I didn't want to spoil her fun." Emilia was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "But if you do this again, I will leave right now."

Having said that, Emilia stood up and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the atmosphere among the crowd suddenly turned cold.

"Emilia, please sit down first." Lilia, who was sitting next to Emilia, could no longer sit still.

Others may not know, but doesn’t Lilia know?

The protagonists of this party were Emilia and Kane. If the heroine left, what would be the point of this party?
Besides, Kane promised him a lot of resources in order to let her organize this party.

If Emilia leaves now, what will happen to the remaining resources?
Looking at Emilia standing there staring at him, the handsome man Kane felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

He and Emilia had known each other since childhood. Their ancestors were both immortals under the command of the Lord of Qianwu State and ranked among the three hundred princes.

From the day he met Emilia, he began to pursue her madly, but for some reason, Emilia was not interested in him at all.

In terms of appearance, Kane is confident that he is no less handsome than anyone else.

In terms of talent, he is superior to everyone here, although now he is in the same first-class genius zone as these people.

But that was after that mysterious guy came.

Before that mysterious guy came, Kane was the super genius stationed in the central area!
When Kane thought of the mysterious existence who pushed him down as soon as he arrived, he felt secretly resentful.

Even though his ancestor was the king of the Qianwu Universe, after he entered the Qianwu Secret Realm, he was able to successfully occupy it by relying on his own strength and defeating the previous genius who occupied the manor in the central area.

But how could that guy just airdrop into the central area and squeeze him out as soon as he arrived?

You know, the manor in the central area represents not only glory and status, but also naked resources.

Whoever can get in will have ten times more training resources than the first-class genius area!

With ten times the resources, Kane's cultivation progress has always left those geniuses in the first-class genius area far behind.

But now, it's all gone.

However, the background of this parachuted guy was quite mysterious. Even though his family had an ancestor who was crowned king in the Qianwu Universe, he was unable to find out this guy's background.

In the end, only one name was found, Wang Xiu.

As for all other information, there is none.

But now is not the time to think about Wang Xiu. The chaotic thoughts in Kane's mind flashed away and he quickly came back to his senses.

Kane felt helpless as he looked at Emilia who didn't give him any face at all.

With his family background and looks, he can find any beauty he wants.

As long as he is willing, not to mention the stellar level, even the cosmic level, domain lord level, and even world lord level beauties will be willing to climb into his bed.

Even if the other party is not willing, he has a way to make them willing.

But Emilia's family background is no weaker than his.

This made Kane very helpless.

The other party won't buy it if you're soft.

Hard...unless you don't want to live anymore.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Kane suppressed his dissatisfaction and raised his hands in surrender.

Emilia sat down again after seeing this. Lilia beside her couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Emilia sitting down again.

I finally persuaded this old lady. Hehe, there is hope for my own resources.

After this incident, Kane became much more obedient and temporarily lost the desire to talk to Emilia.

And with Lilia's deliberate compliment, Kane soon put a smile on his face again.

"I didn't realize before that Lilia seems to have a good figure and looks." Looking at Lilia who was deliberately trying to please him, Kane suddenly had an idea in his mind.

But looking at Emilia with a cold expression on her face, Kane shook his head secretly in his heart.

"Forget it, let's wait until Emilia leaves this time. Lilia is here anyway, and she can't run away."

As for whether Lilia will refuse?

What a joke! Although Lilia has some talent and is ranked among the first-class geniuses in the Qianwu Secret Realm, it is not easy for her to use force.

Lilia was born in an ordinary family, and what she valued most was cultivation resources.

You must know that even in the Qianwu Secret Realm, cultivation resources need to be fought for.

This was also done intentionally by the top leaders of Qianwu Universe, with the aim of inspiring the cultivation motivation of these geniuses.

This also led to Lilia being willing to organize this party for him for some cultivation resources that seemed unimportant to him.

Even though Lilia knew that her good sister Emilia was not interested in Kane.

In Kane's eyes, anything that can be solved with financial resources is not a problem.

People like Lilia focus on how to make themselves stronger, but don't pay much attention to their bodies.

"By the way, Lilia, the next elimination round seems to be not far away, right?" The burly man sitting on Kane's left suddenly said with a smile, "I heard that a fierce man appeared in the second-class genius area. You have to be careful."

"Hmph, Poirot, you should be the one to be careful." Lilia snorted coldly, "Don't forget, I was ranked ahead of you in the last elimination round."

"Tsk, you only defeated me by one move last time." The burly man Poirot shook his head.

"One move is still a win!" Lilia smiled and said, "Besides, Kane will be participating in this knockout round, so I'm afraid your ranking will have to move down one more place."

Upon hearing this, the burly Poirot couldn't help but look at Kane, who had been silent.

Indeed, in terms of strength, Kane is definitely the strongest one in the first-class genius area.

If Kane participated, everyone's ranking would have to be moved back one place.

It seems that in this elimination round, one genius from the first-class genius area is destined to be eliminated to the second-class genius area.

Well, maybe there are two of them. I heard that Red in the second-class genius area is also very powerful.

There are only four places in the first-class genius area. Are two people going to be replaced this time?

Thinking of this, Poirot couldn't help but look at Lilia.

Except for Kane who recently moved from the central area, he and Lilia were the weakest among the original four people in the first-class genius area.

Could it be that this time the two of them are going to the second-class genius area together?

Lilia obviously thought of this at this time, and her face couldn't help but look a little ugly.

"Of course I will participate in this knockout tournament, but this may be my last time participating in a star-level knockout tournament." Kane said lightly.

"Sure enough... this time it's dangerous." Lilia sighed inwardly, but suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately looked at Kane, "Is this your last participation?"

"Are you...ready to break through to the cosmic level?"

Among them, the one who has practiced for the shortest time has been at the stellar level for hundreds of years, and the longest has even been at the stellar level for thousands of years.

It’s not that they can’t break through, but that they know it.

With their current level of comprehension of the laws, once they break through to the cosmic level, they will be no match for those cosmic geniuses in the first-class genius area.

Soon they will fall to the level of a second-class genius. In history, there have even been cases where they directly fell to the level of a third-class genius because of their rapid breakthroughs.

Therefore, if they are not absolutely sure, they will not choose to break through.

"Well, I have been at the stellar level for nearly a thousand years." Kane nodded, "It is time to break through to the cosmic level."

"What's more, when this elimination round is over, it won't be long before the next Universe Peak Talent Competition." Kane said directly, "By then, it will be fine if I can successfully enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company. If I fail to successfully enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe, I will directly break through to the Universe level."

Everyone had different expressions when they heard this.

Everyone can see Kane's strength. Although he is powerful, he can only be compared with these star-level geniuses.

Compared with the cosmic-level geniuses in the first-class genius area who have practiced for at least thousands of years, there is still some difference.

By then, I'm afraid I'll fall directly into the second-tier genius zone in the knockout rounds.

But this is Kane's own business, and no one can say much.

They were more concerned about the battle of the top geniuses in the universe that Kane mentioned would take place in the near future.

As one of the star-level geniuses in the Qianwu Secret Realm, everyone knows very well that one of their missions is to represent the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and achieve a good result in the Universe's Top Genius Battle.

However, this kind of thing does not happen to every star-level genius.

After all, the lifespan of a star is only ten thousand years in total.

The battle of top geniuses in the universe is held once every ten thousand years, and there are always some geniuses who cannot catch up.

But they just caught up.

However, they did not have any expectations for Kane to enter the core layer of the virtual universe.

In order to enter the core layer of the virtual universe, they must first rank in the top 1,000 in the internal preliminaries of the Qianwu Universe, and then they can represent the Qianwu Universe in the official competition of the Universe's Top Genius Battle.

They had no doubt about this.

But the key is that if you want to enter the core layer of the virtual universe, the most important thing is to rank in the top thousand in the entire universe.

However, there are 1008 cosmic countries at the same level as the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the human territory alone.

On average, a universe country cannot be divided into one.

And in their Qianwu Universe Country, for several consecutive years, no one has made it into the top 1,000 in the entire universe in the Genius Competition.

Judging from the level of the stellar geniuses in the previous Qianwu Secret Realm, Kane’s chances of breaking into the top 1,000 in the entire universe are… uncertain.

Kane looked at the expressions of the crowd and knew very well what they were thinking, but he didn't care.

What’s wrong if you can’t make it into the top 1,000 in the entire universe or enter the core layer of the virtual universe?
He knew very well that this was not the only way to enter the core layer of the virtual universe.

As long as he performs well enough in the Qianwu Secret Realm, given his family background, he may have a chance to enter the core layer of the virtual universe.

Even if it is the lowest level of the apocalyptic secret realm, that is enough.

In fact, what he cares more about now is not the battle of the top geniuses in the universe four years later, but the knockout round two years later.

He wanted to see who this Wang Xiu was, the man who could airdrop down and squeeze him out of the central area!
