Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 126 Not convinced

Three days later, Wang Xiu said goodbye to his wife and daughter and returned to his previous practice.

After realizing the key, Wang Xiu's progress on the fifth level of "Heavenly Questions" was extremely fast.

One and a half years passed quickly.

……

Virtual universe, Wuji Island.

"Disciple, the final battle is about to begin." Gu Fenghou looked at the handsome Wang Xiu in front of him and said with a smile, "You have great talent. I have seen your progress in the past few years."

"You didn't enjoy the internal selection competition of Qianwu Universe?"

"This time, the geniuses from 1008 cosmic countries have gathered together. I'm sure you will have a great fight."

"It would be great if you win, but don't be too discouraged if you lose. I believe in you. With your talent, you will only improve faster after you come to the Virtual Universe Company!"

"Yes, teacher." Wang Xiu nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Gu Fenghou's last sentence was obviously directed to Wang Xiu, for fear that he would be hit hard after losing to Bolan.

Wang Xiu felt touched by such kindness.

After a year and a half of practice and comprehension, although Wang Xiu has not yet fully understood the first mystery of the law of the origin of space, Wang Xiu can feel that he is very close to truly understanding it.

Even if he were in the original universe now and could comprehend the Chaos Monument once, he might be able to understand it directly.

Unfortunately, there is no Chaos Monument for Wang Xiu to comprehend now.

Wang Xiu could only rely on time to persevere, hoping that he would have a sudden inspiration and a breakthrough someday.

However, Wang Xiu was not sure when this flash of inspiration would come.

After saying goodbye to Gu Fenghou, Wang Xiu did not go directly to the gathering place set up by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, but went to meet his family first.

After saying goodbye to his wife and daughter, Wang Xiu decided to go to the gathering place to meet up with other geniuses from the Qianwu Universe.

……

On various continents and islands in the virtual universe, millions of peerless geniuses from the 1008 Universe Kingdom are transported to the gathering places of various Universe Kingdoms.

A floating island above Ganwu Continent.

brush!
Wang Xiu appeared at the teleportation point of the floating island.

"Mr. Wang Xiu, please go this way." A cosmic-level warrior standing next to the teleportation point, wearing work clothes, smiled and pointed to a path next to him.

"Thank you." Wang Xiu nodded with a smile, and then walked straight along the road.

After a while.

Wang Xiu saw a large group of people gathered in a square surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants not far away. At first glance, there were hundreds of people, both men and women, with different appearances.

However, at least one third of them look relatively similar to humans on Earth, and the appearance of humans on Earth is considered mainstream in the universe.

"Wang Xiu is here."

"It's him!"

Many young men and women looked over. These people were either geniuses in the Qianwu Secret Realm, or people who had fought with Wang Xiu in the preliminary elimination rounds.

But the number of people is relatively small, only about ten people in total.

Wang Xiu had no friendship with these people, so he found a place at random, stood there, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, waiting for the arrival of the immortal god who would lead the team.

As time passed, more and more geniuses arrived, and the number of people increased.

Luo Feng and Hong were the ones who arrived relatively late. Eventually, all the one thousand talented masters gathered together. These one thousand people stood together in a bustling crowd. Many of them knew each other in real life or made friends in battle, and they all chatted and reminisced about the past.

"Brother, Luo Feng, your strength has improved a lot in the past year or so, right?" Wang Xiu said with a smile as he looked at the two brothers in front of him.

It was fine during the previous reincarnation battle. Although the three brothers basically never met each other, through the replays of their battles, Wang Xiu could clearly see the improvement in their strength.

However, over the past year and a half, the three of them have been immersed in their own cultivation, making Wang Xiu somewhat unclear about the strength of Luo Feng and Hong.

Especially Hong.

Luo Feng is actually fine. With his memories of his past life, Wang Xiu can roughly guess his current level.

But as for Hong, Wang Xiu was completely in the dark and knew nothing.

"Hehe." Luo Feng smiled, "Brother Xiu, don't worry, I will definitely give you a scare when the time comes!"

When Wang Xiu saw this, he suddenly realized that this appearance must have been bred by the incarnation of the Demon Killing Clan.

Luo Feng's comprehension was already very good, and now with the blessing of the comprehension of the Demon Killing Clan, his progress in the laws of the origin of space would surely be rapid.

Hong stood aside and just smiled: "You will know when the time comes. Although I am not as talented as you or the fourth brother, don't underestimate me."

Wang Xiu smiled and nodded.

It seems that Hong is really confident this time.

"By the way, third brother, an immortal god came to see me and fourth brother before." Hong suddenly said at this time.

"Immortal spirits?" Wang Xiu frowned slightly, "What do I want to do with you?"

"Third brother, don't be nervous." Seeing this, Hong smiled and said, "It's a good thing."

He immediately told them that the immortal god had invited them to the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Wang Xiu's brows relaxed after hearing this, and then he said with a smile: "This is a good thing, big brother."

"The resources and environment in the Qianwu Secret Realm are much better than what the Qianwu Dojo can provide you."

"As for Luo Feng...there's actually no need to resist anymore."

"If there is really no way to enter the Virtual Universe Company, entering the Qianwu Secret Realm might not be a bad choice."

Luo Feng nodded after hearing this: "Well, I'll listen to you."

suddenly……

"boom!"

An invisible pressure covered the entire square. The faces of the one thousand peerless geniuses turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly involuntarily.

Then with the sound of footsteps, a giant wearing a scale armor and a helmet walked over. His natural aura was like the arrival of death.

The smell of blood and blood makes people involuntarily frightened!
A giant over eight meters tall! It was the same person who existed last time.

"The thousand geniuses of Qianwu Universe, according to the order of the king, will be led by me." The giant's voice boomed, and the eyes covered by the helmet gave people infinite pressure. "You can call me 'Master Thirteen', do you understand?"

"understand!"

1000 peerless geniuses, including Wang Xiu, all responded in unison.

"What a terrible pressure." Wang Xiu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he secretly complained in his heart, "This guy didn't restrain himself at all this time."

Terrified!

1000 geniuses were as weak as ants in front of this giant in scaled armor, and they would naturally feel fear.

This is pure instinct, and no matter how strong the will is, it is impossible to suppress this instinct.

"Rong Jun! Wang Xiu!" The giant in scaled armor looked at the savage youth Rong Jun and Wang Xiu who was wearing a gray combat uniform.

"My Lord Thirteen." Wang Xiu and the wild youth Rong Jun bowed slightly at the same time.

"You two are the only two people from our Qianwu Universe Country who are sure not to be eliminated."

"My lord, I have high hopes for you. You... don't let me down, understand?" said the giant in scaled armor.

"Yes." Wang Xiu and the other man responded respectfully.

The scale-armored giant glanced at the other young people and said coldly: "As for the others, there is no hope!"

Suddenly, many young people clenched their fists.

Rong Jun is fine, after all, his strength is obvious to everyone, but Wang Xiu?
Except for a very few individuals, these geniuses had no impression of him at all.

Why is Wang Xiu ranked on the same level as Rong Jun? "Hmph! Don't be unconvinced. Strength is not something you can talk about, it is something you can demonstrate in battle!" The giant in the scaled armor robe said coldly, "Except for Rong Jun, the strongest among you is only at the level of Luo Feng. However, according to our intelligence, there are many rare geniuses in this class."

"It would be great if Wang Xiu could get into the top 5,000. His hope of getting into the top 1,000 is slim!"

"Of course!"

“You too may be able to perform miracles!”

"In history, there are some people who were ordinary at first, but suddenly became extraordinary geniuses in the final peak showdown." The giant in the scaled armor robe glanced at the large group of people, and then changed the subject, "Okay, follow me!"

The situation is better than people.

This group of peerless geniuses from various star regions of Qianwu Universe Country can only endure.

……

Then, Wang Xiu and a thousand other geniuses, led by the giant in scaled armor, were teleported simultaneously to a new dimension opened up in the virtual universe.

This is a vast continent.

Wang Xiu and his group, including the giant in scaled armor leading the team, a total of 1001 people appeared on this continent at the same time.

"Qianwu Universe Team, there are 1008 buildings ahead, and your Universe Team is assigned to Building 0825." A middle-aged man in a white robe respectfully saluted the giant in scale armor.

"Ok!"

The scale-armored giant snorted, then led the team to fly directly into the distance.

Looking from a distance, all the buildings in the distance naturally form a circle.

In the center of the 1008 buildings is a beautiful square with birds singing and flowers blooming. At this moment, there are many young men and women from various countries in the universe strolling and chatting in that beautiful square. At a glance, there are at least more than people.

"Land!" the scale-armored giant roared.

The talented team from Ganwu Universe Landed quickly, landed on the edge of the square, and then walked directly along the road towards Building No. 0825. The square has dedicated passages leading to each building.

"Look, that building No. 0825 belongs to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. It seems to be the genius team of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom."

"Rong Jun, that tall savage is Rong Jun."

"Yeah! He is very strong."

"Which one is Rong Jun?"

"Rongjun?"

Many geniuses from other universe countries began to discuss as they watched the Qianwu Universe Country team from a distance.

In the team of Qianwu Universe Country, the geniuses heard these discussions and felt secretly resentful but also a little weird.

They all secretly looked at Wang Xiu in the team, each with a strange expression.

The "Thirteenth Master" who led the team not long ago publicly listed Wang Xiu and Rong Jun on the same level, and his words showed that he was very optimistic about Wang Xiu.

But now, the peerless geniuses from other cosmic countries seem to only know Rong Jun and not Wang Xiu.

This made the geniuses of Qianwu Universe feel a sense of identity.

"I told you, even if Wang Xiu has some ability, he can't be on par with Rong Jun."

"That Thirteenth Master must have made a mistake!"

"I don't know what Wang Xiu is feeling at the moment."

What disappointed these geniuses was that in the face of everyone's strange looks, Wang Xiu showed no sign of strangeness and just walked forward with the team.

……

Soon, the genius team of Qianwu Universe Country followed the giant in scaled armor and entered Building 0825. The first floor of the building was very spacious, enough to accommodate thousands of people.

"boom!"

That powerful pressure appeared again, oppressing the 1000 geniuses, causing Wang Xiu and everyone else to turn around and look at the tallest giant in scaled armor.

The giant in the scaled armor robe restrained his pressure and said coldly:
"I have number plates from 1 to 1000 here. Each of you takes a number plate and goes into your respective rooms. That's where you will rest and live!" Then the giant in scaled armor waved his hand!

One by one, the number plates floated down and landed in front of everyone.

Wang Xiuyi reached out and grabbed the license plate. There was only a number "1" on the license plate.

Rong Jun also reached out and grabbed the number plate. There was only one number on the plate, "2".

A thousand talented masters grabbed the number plate.

"You are free to disperse!"

"You can sleep and rest in the house, or you can go to the square to communicate with geniuses from other universe countries." The scale-armored giant glanced at the 1000 geniuses and said coldly, "When it gets dark, the organizers of Virtual Universe Company All of you will be summoned. No matter where you are in this plane, you will hear the announcement."

After saying that, the scale-armored giant strode out directly.

The 1000 geniuses in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief, and went into groups holding their number plates, chatting, or going to find their own rooms.

Rong Jun held his own number plate and stared at Wang Xiu who was holding number one.

"Wang Xiu, it seems that Luo Feng didn't lie to me before. You are really strong." Rong Jun's voice was a little low. "Even the immortals led by Qianwu Universe think that you are stronger than me."

"I am increasingly eager to have a real fight with you."

Wang Xiu smiled faintly when he heard this: "If you can get into the top five, you will have a chance."

Rong Jun's pupils shrank when he heard that.

Top five?

According to the competition system of the genius battle over the years, each of the top five in the universe must fight against the other four to determine the final ranking.

It can be said that after entering the top five, it is the finals.

Rong Jun stared at Wang Xiu intently, then suddenly laughed and turned away, "Okay, Wang Xiu."

"I'm waiting for you in the top five. I hope you won't let me down in the end!"

Looking at Rong Jun's departing back, Wang Xiu shrugged and looked at Luo Feng and Hong on the side: "Let's go, let's go too."

"Let's go for a walk. It's a rare opportunity to come here, it would be a shame if we don't go for a walk."

……

The central square surrounded by 1008 buildings is very large. Even if there are millions of people in the square, it will not be crowded at all. Moreover, flowers, plants and some small ornamental animals can be seen everywhere around the square.

There are also large restaurants scattered randomly on the square.

There are a total of 99 restaurants. However, geniuses from various universe countries can enter any other restaurant, but Restaurant No. 1 cannot enter.

At this moment, in Restaurant No. 1.

There are thousands of seats on the first floor of Restaurant No. 1.

Hundreds of people have gathered here at this moment.

Everyone's aura is extremely grand, and each one is comparable to the Thirteen Divine Marquis.

"Thirteen, I heard that your Qianwu Universe has produced a genius named Rong Jun this time? Haha! You are lucky!"

Wang Xiu did not show his full strength in the preliminary elimination rounds, nor did he participate in the final battle in the ring.

He is also a person from the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Under the order of Lord Qianwu, Wang Xiu kept the information confidential very strictly.

Even the geniuses in their own universe don’t know Wang Xiu’s true strength, let alone the people from other universes.

The Thirteen Divine Marquises were not prepared to point this out, they just smiled faintly and nodded.

“I wonder what expressions will be on their faces after they see Wang Xiu’s strength.” Thinking of this, looking at the immortals chatting and laughing around them, the Thirteen Divine Lords were secretly looking forward to it.

For immortals like them, ordinary ways of entertainment can no longer bring them pleasure.

But it is still interesting to see an "old rival" of equal power and status lose his composure.
