Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 131 The Unlucky Duo

After three rounds of elimination, 7200 people were reduced to 900 people who successfully obtained the opportunity to enter the core layer of the virtual universe company.

Seeing the 900 people suddenly appearing not far away, Wang Xiu and his hundred companions also stood up and walked over to join them.

1000 genius elites gathered together. Many geniuses who were considered to be in the top ten or twenty, or who thought they could be at the forefront, were watching the others.

Wang Xiu was also looking at Bolan in the crowd.

Among the 1000 people left, only Wang Xiu Bolan is not sure of victory.

The others, including Galesi, were just a little troublesome to Wang Xiu.

"congratulations!"

suddenly.

An ethereal voice entered the minds of a thousand people.

Everyone noticed that the man in the green robe and scale armor appeared in front of their crowd.

"You are the best 1008 people in this genius battle among the 1000 universe nations of the entire human race in the universe. Our Virtual Universe Company will also do our best to train you. If anyone doesn't want to join the Virtual Universe Company, you can say so now."

The Nine Swords Master looked at the thousand geniuses with a smile on his face.

Silence, no one said a word.

"very good."

"However, you should understand that competition is ever-present in the universe. Competition exists everywhere. It is impossible for all 1000 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." The Nine Swords Reverend smiled and said, "I will make an announcement."

"Among the 1000 of you, the 101st to 1000th place can receive a bonus of 10 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for contemplation, and can join the 'End of the World Secret Realm', the core of my virtual universe company."

"The 11th to 100th place will receive a bonus of 100 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for enlightenment, and can join the core 'Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth' of our virtual universe company."

"The 4th to 10th place will receive a bonus of 1000 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for enlightenment, and can join the core of my virtual universe company, the 'Secret Realm of the Absolute Beginning'."

"The first to third place will receive a bonus of 1 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for enlightenment, and can join the core 'original secret realm' of our virtual universe company."

"Normally, the 'Original Secret Realm' only accepts one person per class, but your class is quite good, so after discussion, the top management of the Virtual Universe Company has decided to grant you three places to enter the 'Original Secret Realm'."

There was still silence.

Although it is not quite clear what the original secret realm, the primordial secret realm, the heaven and earth secret realm, and the end-of-the-world secret realm mentioned by the Nine Swords Master mean, it is obvious that the original secret realm is definitely the best.

only……

Luo Feng and other geniuses who believed they were qualified to compete for the top ten qualifications glanced at Bolan and Wang Xiu in the crowd without leaving a trace, and then glanced at the other geniuses.

There are three places in the original secret realm.

There is no need to say much about Wang Xiu and Bo Lan. If nothing unexpected happens, with their strength, they will definitely occupy the top two places.

It’s just a question of who is first and who is second.

But the key is... who is the third?
Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Prince of Manka Star... These geniuses have never really fought each other, so no one knows the final outcome.

"The original secret realm?" Luo Feng's eyes gradually became firm, "If we want to enter, we must enter the best one!"

"Otherwise I will never catch up with Brother Xiu!"

At the same time, the other peerless geniuses who were qualified to challenge for the top ten also gradually became determined, and they all wanted to seize the third spot to enter the original secret realm.

The Nine Swords Master, who was standing at the front of the crowd, looked at the gradually changing expressions of these geniuses and chuckled in his heart.

He was the one who proposed to the top management of the Virtual Universe Company to fight for the three places in the original secret realm.

The purpose is to stimulate the enthusiasm of these geniuses.

There is no way, because Wang Xiu and Bolan’s strength is too far ahead of those behind them.

If there were only one or two of them, people like Luo Feng and Rong Jun behind them would have no motivation to fight to the end.

At best, we can make it into the top ten. Even if we don’t give up, our mentality will change.

After all... who would do something that is doomed to be hopeless?
Judging from the final results, the effect is still very good.

"You 1000 people still have strengths and weaknesses, and of course the resources you receive cannot all be the same."

"Tomorrow we will start the final battle to determine the final ranking." The voice of the Nine Swords Master was ethereal and far-reaching, echoing in everyone's mind. "And the rules of the final battle have been sent to each of you. Just take a good rest today!"

boom!
The man in the cyan shirt and purple scales disappeared directly after finishing speaking. Only then did the 1008 powerful immortals start talking.

"Original Secret Realm, this year actually attracted three!"

"I originally thought that the quota for the original secret realm would be chosen between Bolan and Wang Xiu, but I didn't expect that there would be three extra quotas."

"This way, those two little guys, Bolan and Wang Xiu, won't have to fight anymore, and both can enter the original secret realm."

"Virtual Universe Company is rarely generous."

"That's right. Congratulations, Thirteen!"

"You, Qianwu Universe, have made a lot of money this time. Luo Feng and Rong Jun both have a chance to make it into the top ten, and Wang Xiu has even secured a spot in the Primordial Secret Realm in advance."

"Haha." The giant in scale armor robe also showed a smile at this moment.

In fact, these immortals have misunderstood. The Virtual Universe Company has never been stingy in cultivating geniuses.

For the Virtual Universe Company, there is no such thing as stinginess, only worth it and not worth it.

Although membership in the original secret realm is relatively precious, each original secret realm membership represents massive resources.

But...that would require them to be able to stay in the original secret realm forever.

If one's strength is not enough, within a hundred years at most, one will be kicked out of the original secret realm and enter the primordial secret realm.

How much resources can one or two people consume in a hundred years?

For a large virtual universe company, it is totally worthwhile to spend this little bit of resources to screen out a genius worth cultivating.

While that group of great immortals were talking, Wang Xiu and 1000 others were looking down at the screens on their wrists, on which the rules of the decisive battle had been transmitted.

"Huh?" Luo Feng looked at it and frowned.

The rules are as follows:

In the three rounds of elimination that just ended, 900 geniuses were decided. Based on their performance in the trial space and the three rounds of elimination, the virtual universe system selected the best 900 from these people. They are Galesi, Carpenter, Lasha, Nex, Utvesk..."

These 200 people will have a one-on-one battle with the top people in the trial space who got their quota first, a total of people!

The winning 100 people are eligible to enter the "Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth". The remaining people all entered the "secret realm of the apocalypse".

Among the 100 winners, the best 20 people will be selected based on the virtual universe system's judgment, and these 20 people will have a one-on-one battle...to determine the top ten.

The top ten are eligible to enter the "Secret Realm of Taichu".

Among the top ten, the first and second place were finally selected and entered into the "Original Secret Realm".

A detailed battle list is attached.

"Brother Xiu." Luo Feng came to Wang Xiu's side and whispered, "This rule is quite arbitrary."

"Does the Virtual Universe Company trust their Virtual Universe system so much?"

"Haha." Wang Xiu looked at Luo Feng and chuckled, "You haven't joined the Qianwu Secret Realm, so there are some things you don't know."

"The virtual universe system is much more powerful than you think. Just think about it, it can be exactly the same as the real world, and even the fundamental laws of the universe can be completely simulated. This method cannot be achieved by simple technology."

"Don't think too much about it. Anyway, this has nothing to do with you and me. We are both qualified to have a decisive battle."

Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

In fact, Wang Xiu did not lie to him. The virtual universe was not a purely technological product.

Although the connection and entry method seems to be a product of technology, in essence, the virtual universe is a secret method of the original ancestor that covers the entire primitive universe.

If the original ancestor had not been sealed, he could even use this secret method to monitor the entire original universe.

In the entire primitive universe, no existence, except the true God, can withstand the exploration of this secret method.

It’s just that the original ancestor lost his mind and wanted to use it to take over the original universe.

Then it was suppressed and sealed by the original universe.

Moreover, if the virtual universe system is truly a pure product of technology, it means that the ten fundamental laws and related fusion mechanisms are no longer a secret for the human race.

The human race can completely use this to create technological treasures that are comparable to the most powerful treasures.

The reality is that humans don't currently have this ability.

"How could this be?"

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

"unacceptable!"

"This, this is too much faith in the virtual universe system."

At this moment, in the central square, except for a few geniuses who were confident that they were qualified for the decisive battle, most of the geniuses were very excited and were in a state of excitement.

After all, the rules of the finals are equivalent to directly excluding 800 people out of 1,000, without even giving them a chance to show their strength!

Naturally, it made many geniuses present feel unhappy and unhappy.

"Virtual Universe Company!" A sharp voice suddenly sounded. Luo Feng felt uncomfortable in his ears and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Only seen in the crowd.

A young man who was over five meters tall, skinny, with a vertical eye between his eyebrows, had a ferocious look on his face. There was madness in all three of his eyes. He shouted angrily:
"I am 100% sure that I can make it into the top 20, or even the top ! 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!" Someone nearby shouted.

"That's not fair!"

"In real action, whoever loses will be eliminated. This is only fair, otherwise we won't give in!" Suddenly more than ten young people from many universe countries shouted.

Wang Xiu looked coldly at these geniuses who were dissatisfied and wanted to seek an explanation, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart.

Just a stellar genius, don't say their talent is not outstanding enough.

Even a genius of Wang Xiu's level has no say in front of the Virtual Universe Company.

By doing this, they are only bringing shame upon themselves.

Sure enough, the 1008 powerful immortals in the distance looked over one by one, their eyes were all very cold.

"Shut up!"

"What are you doing?"

"Shut up, everyone!"

Many immortals roared in anger, and at the same time, the terrifying pressure of consciousness spread out, directly oppressing the 800 geniuses who were making trouble, causing the 800 young geniuses from all ethnic groups to turn pale, tremble slightly all over, and their legs to shake constantly.

"Snapped!"

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees, and then "Pah", "Pah!" "Pah"...

They all fell to their knees on the ground, unable to resist.

Boom...

1008 powerful immortals all appeared in front of a group of geniuses, overlooking the kneeling group of people.

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

Among the kneeling crowd, the three-eyed young man supported himself on the ground with his arms, his tendons twisted and bulging like earthworms, and he raised his head and roared.

"Idiot!" Among the 1008 powerful immortals, the giant in the scaled armor gave the three young men a cold look.

At this time, a majestic and ethereal voice sounded: "If you have any objections to the decisive battle 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 sound echoed between heaven and earth, and it caused the faces of the 800 geniuses lying on the ground to change.

It's too... too... this is too cruel!

The other two hundred geniuses also changed their expressions, as if they had not expected the Virtual Universe Company to be so domineering.

Wang Xiu sighed inwardly.

These geniuses are top talents in their respective universes.

But for the Virtual Universe Company, they are just newcomers selected from the once-in-a-millennium genius competition.

Every ten thousand years, there will be a thousand geniuses like this, or even stronger than them, entering the Virtual Universe Company. There is nothing special about it.

Perhaps geniuses like Wang Xiu and Bo Lan can get some special treatment.

After all, not every genius competition has talents like theirs.

But others?

Sorry, no special privileges.

If you can't accept it, then don't join the virtual universe company!

It's that simple.

Wang Xiu looked coldly at the eight hundred geniuses kneeling on the ground, but he thought of the earth in his mind.

Once the secrets of the earth are exposed, even with his own talents, in the eyes of those cosmic masters and the masters of the universe, he is no different from these geniuses kneeling on the ground.

Talent only represents potential. Before it is transformed into strength, it will never have a say in the eyes of the human upper echelons.

"I must speed up my cultivation progress." Wang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Now, because of his own reasons, Hong entered the Qianwu Secret Realm.

It is impossible to be accepted as a disciple by Giant Axe as in the original storyline.

After all, Qianwu Universe Kingdom belongs to the Virtual Universe Company.

If he wants to save the earth, he can only rely on Wang Xiu himself.

But if you want to gain the right to speak by relying on your strength, you must at least have combat power comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe.

If you want to truly keep the ownership of the Earth in the hands of the Earthlings, you must possess combat power comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe.

In the short term, Wang Xiu simply can't do it.

"I can only take advantage of the situation." Wang Xiu made up his mind.

Just like in the original story line, because Hong was Giant Axe's disciple, half of the ownership of the earth was left to Luo Feng.

Wang Xiu must find a teacher who is strong enough before the secret of the earth is exposed.

And in the virtual universe company, or even in the entire human race, besides Giant Axe, there is only one person who has the ability to do this!

Lord of Chaos City!

……

In the end, none of the eight hundred geniuses kneeling on the ground chose to withdraw. Even the extremely crazy three-eyed young man finally understood after the Nine Swords Master said those words.

In the eyes of the Virtual Universe Company, I am nothing.

The farce was over quickly, but after everyone returned to their own rooms, they couldn't calm down for a long time.

……

The next morning.

In the central square, 1000 peerless geniuses gathered.

Wang Xiu mixed in with the crowd and looked at the tall three-eyed young man in the distance. The three-eyed young man had a gloomy face and said nothing. It was obvious that the blow yesterday was quite big for him.

"Sir!"

In the distance, 1008 immortals saluted respectfully.

"Ok!"

The man in blue shirt and purple scales in mid-air in the distance nodded slightly, then turned his head to look down at the 1000 young people, and said: "Today is a good day. We will select the top candidate from among 1000 of you within one day." One hundred, top ten, first and second place.”

"Are you all ready? The decisive battle begins now!"

The man in the green battle robe and purple scales looked down at the crowd and waved his hand. 100 huge arenas appeared directly on the central square.

The edge and top of each arena were covered with black silk screens, and 200 young men and women, including the savage Rong Jun, the phantom demon Galasi, etc., were directly teleported into the arena.

There are two people in each ring.

Suddenly, most of the powerful immortals and talented elites who were not qualified to participate in the battle focused on the two arenas where Bolan and Wang Xiu were.

What disappointed them was that even when facing super geniuses who were qualified to be ranked in the top 200, they were no match for Wang Xiu and Bolan.

The two of them only used one move to end their respective battles cleanly and neatly.

Wang Xiu stood on the ring, looking at Bolan in the distance who had finished the fight almost at the same time as him, and smiled.

At the same time, Bolan also looked at Wang Xiu.

After the two looked at each other, they both saw the fighting spirit deep in each other's eyes!
For them, among all the geniuses present, only the other party is worthy of their full effort.

……

After the first victory, Wang Xiu entered the top 100, and the prize money increased to 100 Hunyuan units, and he could enter the virtual universe company "Heaven and Earth Secret Realm".

Soon, the battles in other arenas also ended.

As expected, Luo Feng also won easily and obtained the qualification to enter the secret realm of the virtual universe company.

"Brother Xiu." Luo Feng came to Wang Xiu and whispered, "I didn't use my strongest trump card just now. I don't know if I can be selected for the next battle."

The next battle will be to select the best twenty people from the one hundred winners to fight in pairs to determine the top ten who are qualified to enter the Taichu Secret Realm.

Wang Xiu glanced at the somewhat nervous Luo Feng, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, with your strength, there will be absolutely no problem."

"Didn't Master Thirteen say that you are qualified to be among the top ten under the approval of the immortal beings?"

Luo Feng nodded when he heard this, and he felt relieved immediately.

Not long after, the Nine Swords Master appeared and read out the list of names participating in the second round of battle:
"Bolan!"

"Wang Xiu!"

"Guthro!"

"Ai Chen!"

"Uka"

"Yifeng!"

"Galashi!"

"Rongjun!"

……

"Luo Feng!"

……

"Qianshui!"

……

"Tao!"

……

After the Nine Swords Master finished reporting the list, he quickly disappeared again.

"Okay, are you relieved now?" Wang Xiu smiled and looked at Luo Feng beside him.

"Hehe." Luo Feng scratched his head, "I just don't know who the final opponent will be."

"I don't know why that gentleman was keeping us in suspense just now. Why didn't he just tell us directly?"

Looking at Wang Xiu who still had a calm face, Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiu, aren't you curious about your opponent?"

"Not curious." Wang Xiu shook his head calmly.

"Why?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

"I just need to defeat the opponent who appears in front of me. I don't need to worry about the others. Besides..." Wang Xiu glanced at Luo Feng, "Among these twenty people, my real opponent is only Bolan. The Virtual Universe Company will not let me meet Bolan now."

"As for the others..." Wang Xiu shook his head and didn't continue.

"Uh." Luo Feng touched his head after hearing that, not knowing what to say.

Although Wang Xiu didn't finish his words, the two have been brothers for many years, so Luo Feng knew what Wang Xiu meant.

It was obvious that Wang Xiu didn't take the other eighteen people seriously.

But Wang Xiu does have that ability.

After Wang Xiu's interruption, Luo Feng no longer thought about his next opponent, but simply closed his eyes and adjusted his state.

The giant in scaled armor who had been watching them from a distance looked at Wang Xiu and Luo Feng's calmness and nodded secretly in his heart: "These two have a good mentality."

……

About half an hour later.

"Rumble..."

The entire central square began to shake, and ten giant arenas gradually floated up in the center of the square. The arenas were also covered with a large number of black silk strips. At the same time, Wang Xiu and twenty other people who were originally resting were instantly teleported into the ten giant arenas.

The second round of battle begins!
Inside the arena.

"Depend on!"

"What a tragedy! That blood axe 'Tao' actually met the god of death 'Bolan'?"

“Everyone was wondering who was unlucky enough to run into Bolan, and it turned out to be Tao, poor fellow.

"Galasi wasn't much better. He ran into that pervert Wang Xiu."

"Galasi is fine. Isn't he an illusionist? His fighting style is just the right way to restrain the warrior Wang Xiu."

"Have you forgotten that Wang Xiu previously passed through the seventh floor of the sixth trial tower with the help of the Yan Shen Bing?"

"Even if we simply talk about the identity of a spiritual master, Luo Feng, who also uses the Divine Weapon as his main weapon, is not as good as Wang Xiu!"

"Oh, that's true. Then wouldn't Galesi be in trouble too?"

"Who said it wasn't true? If it were you, Galesi would be the worst off. Judging from his previous performance, even if he were to face Bolan, his chances of winning would probably be higher than if he were to face Wang Xiu."

Many other geniuses who were watching the game from a distance laughed with glee when they saw this scene.

Although Tao and Galasi on the stage did not show any fear, everyone seemed to have seen the final result.

……
