Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 188 Qualifying Battle Approaching

Wang Xiu knew what Rong Jun meant.

For cosmic geniuses like them, there are limited channels to earn points.

Whether it is the Tongtian Bridge, the Sea of ​​Illusion or the Immortal Altar, it is not that simple, and the points that can be obtained are also very limited.

The training tasks given to them by the Virtual Universe Company are the best way to earn points.

With points, they can obtain various cultivation resources.

Regardless of whether they are members of the original secret realm or the apocalyptic secret realm, there is a limit to the training tasks that all cosmic-level geniuses can take on.

Each person has ten mission quotas within a hundred years.

This is an iron rule and no one is allowed to change it.

Even Wang Xiu has no privilege in this regard.

In this case, each cultivation task represents a large amount of points and a large amount of cultivation resources.

Now, there are less than 20 years left until the next qualifying battle, but Wang Xiu has only completed 6 training tasks... Wang Xiu is even still deep in the Demon Mountain and has no intention of coming out.

No matter how you look at it, Wang Xiu won't be able to complete all of the remaining training tasks.

This means that the number of mission points Wang Xiu can obtain is much less than that of other geniuses.

These task points represent cultivation resources!

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and the others all looked at Wang Xiu, especially Luo Feng, who had a hesitant look on his face, as if he wanted to say something.

Wang Xiu waved his hands quickly and said with a smile, "Alright, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's just four training tasks. If you can't complete them, then you can't complete them."

"I don't care about those mission points."

When everyone heard this, their expressions varied. Luo Feng seemed to be hesitant to speak. After thinking for a while, he still didn't say anything.

Wang Xiu is not a fool. In terms of talent, none of the people in the box can compare to Wang Xiu.

In terms of strength... when Wang Xiu just left Chaos City sixty years ago, he had already passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge.

Although Wang Xiu has been very low-key in recent years and has never crossed the Tongtian Bridge, who can guarantee that Wang Xiu has not made any progress?
And what about them? Even Bolan, who had made the fastest progress, had only passed the seventh level of Tongtian Bridge, and was still far from the eighth level!
In other words, after sixty years of chasing, everyone has not been able to reach the level that Wang Xiu reached sixty years ago, so how can they be qualified to control Wang Xiu?

"Okay, we finally got together today, let's not talk about this anymore." Wang Xiu smiled and picked up the wine glass in front of him, "Come on, everyone, let's have a drink."

Wang Xiu had a very good impression of the people who entered the Virtual Universe Company with him, but he was unwilling to tell them everything.

So what if I said it?
The opportunity is there, and if you have the ability you will naturally discover it.

If they don't have enough talent and strength, telling them would only harm them.

Otherwise, why would the top executives of Virtual Universe Company deliberately hide this information?

Anyway, the top leaders of the virtual universe know about these opportunities, so why not just confront these geniuses directly?

Isn't it because they are afraid that these geniuses will become too arrogant and waste their lives in vain?

So Wang Xiu didn't plan to say much.

"Okay, cheers!"

"I won't come home until I get drunk today!"

"Drink, drink!"

……

Under the leadership of Wang Xiu, the group quickly forgot about their tasks and cultivation and enjoyed the wine in their glasses.

Speaking of which, among this group of geniuses who entered the Virtual Universe Company, except for Wang Xiu, Bolan and Luo Feng, the three members of the original secret realm, the others did not have an easy time.

The reason why Wang Xiu and the other three came here is because there are few cosmic-level members in the original secret realm, and there is also Wang Xiu, a monstrous master who directly broke through the eighth floor for the first time entering the Chaos City.

The three cosmic-level elders in the original secret realm were very well-behaved.

But the other three secret realms are different.

The strength of the old man is much stronger than that of the newcomer, especially in the Taichu Secret Realm, where there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

There are quite a few geniuses who have passed the seventh level of Tongtian Bridge.

These newcomers were no match at all and suffered a lot. Even Rong Jun was more or less affected.

Listening to Rong Jun's complaints, Wang Xiu smacked his lips and said nothing.

The same went for Bolan and Luo Feng, who both remained silent.

Rong Jun didn't care. After all, it was his business.

Although everyone is friends, it's an original secret realm, a primordial secret realm, we can't let Wang Xiu and the others help him, right?

That's unrealistic, and Rong Jun doesn't want to do it either, as it would be too cheap.

Rong Jun was just talking to them, and if you really want to make a fuss about it, Rong Jun was not really being "bullied".

After all, he has a teacher who is the Lord of the Universe Country, and everyone knows that Rong Jun has extraordinary potential and is unwilling to make an enemy of him.

He just couldn't stand the old guys bullying the newcomers, but he had no ability to change it, so he was just a little resentful.

……

The forbidden land where the Ice God will inherit.

In the temple of the second stage of inheritance.

Wang Xiu, wearing the Taixu battle armor, slowly opened his eyes, recalled what Rong Jun had said in the box not long ago, and shook his head slightly.

You can only rely on yourself for this kind of thing, it's useless to rely on others.

Wang Xiu quickly put aside all distracting thoughts and closed his eyes to sense every corner of his body.

"Well, not bad. All the power of the spirit crystal fruit has been absorbed." Wang Xiu showed a smile.

Previously, Wang Xiu strengthened the genetic level of his physical body to 15 times in one breath. Coupled with the efficacy of the ice crystal fruit, Wang Xiu originally thought that he could complete the second stage of inheritance easily.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiu still underestimated the strictness of the Ice God's inheritance.

Even with 15 times the genetic level and an ice crystal fruit, Wang Xiu almost failed to complete the second stage of the inheritance ladder.

But fortunately it succeeded in the end.

Moreover, in the hall at the end of the second stage of inheritance, new rewards were obtained, including spirit crystal fruits and crystal soul beads.

The effects of the Spirit Crystal Fruit are similar to those of the Ice Crystal Fruit. Both can transform the body, making the practitioner's body more suitable for practicing the secret method inherited from the Ice God, but its effect is better than that of the Ice Crystal Fruit.

The Crystal Soul Orb is a naturally formed gem in the universe. It is about the size of an egg, crystal clear and emits an ice-blue light.

The effects of the Crystal Soul Bead and the Taixu Battle Armor are similar, except that one protects the soul and the other protects the body.

Whether it was the Crystal Soul Bead or the Taixu Battle Armor, Wang Xiu had already recognized them as their masters and stored them within his body. The black armor he was wearing at the moment was the Taixu Battle Armor (for a treasure of the level of the Taixu Battle Armor, changing color and shape was a very simple matter).

As for the Crystal Soul Bead, it was within the sea of ​​consciousness, quietly protecting Wang Xiu's soul.

Therefore, Wang Xiu was very clear about the defensive capabilities of both.

The Taixu Battle Armor can be completely immune to physical attacks below the rank of Marquis, and weaken physical attacks above the rank of Marquis to one tenth.

However, the Taixu Battle Armor is just a naturally formed treasure and is not considered a valuable treasure. It only has one form.

Facing the attack of the Lord of the Universe, it is somewhat powerless and cannot be weakened at all, and may even explode directly.

Even so, for those who were granted the title of Marquis or even King, this was an extremely precious treasure. The defensive capabilities of the Crystal Soul Orb and the Grand Void Battle Armor were similar. Those below the rank of Marquis were directly immune, and those above the rank of Marquis were weakened to one tenth.

It’s just that the Crystal Soul Orb is a soul defense treasure.

In terms of value, the Crystal Soul Orb is even more valuable than the Taixu Battle Armor.

No wonder one is in the first stage hall and the other is in the second stage hall.

……

Wow!
Inside the hall, the white mist that had originally gathered together suddenly separated to both sides, leaving a path and revealing the inheritance stairs at the end of the path.

"Are you urging me?" Wang Xiu grinned when he saw this, and then without further delay, he flashed directly to the stairs at the end of the misty road.

He raised his leg and stepped onto the stairs, beginning the third stage of inheritance of the Ice God.

……

The third stage of the inheritance ladder.

"Huh!" Wang Xiu half-knelt on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, and big drops of sweat dripped onto the inheritance stairs. Then the inheritance stairs seemed to be non-existent, and it penetrated directly and fell into the endless void below.

Wang Xiu didn't pay much attention to this strange phenomenon.

He had long known that the Ice God's inheritance was aimed at life with souls.

Only beings with souls are qualified to enter the inheritance hall and ascend the inheritance ladder.

And any existence without a soul cannot touch the ladder of inheritance.

Sweat naturally has no soul, so it is normal for it to pass through directly.

"This third stage is much more perverted than the previous two stages." Looking at the sweat beads disappearing from his sight, Wang Xiu felt helpless.

There are three stages in the inheritance of the Ice God, and the difficulty of each stage is different.

The first stage is the easiest, the second stage is the second easiest, and the third stage is the most difficult.

The further you advance, the more stringent the physical requirements of the Ice God's inheritance become.

Wang Xiu originally thought that the spirit crystal fruit he ate would allow him to at least reach the late stage of the third stage of inheritance.

Unfortunately, before he even got halfway there, Wang Xiu reached his limit again.

"We can only strengthen our genetic level." Wang Xiu took a deep breath, barely stood up, and glanced at the palace at the far end.

That is the end point of the entire inheritance ladder!
Although Wang Xiu didn't want his future to be restricted by an Ice God, he also didn't want to give up just like that.

After all, he had only walked 7822 steps, and was less than halfway through the entire third stage.

He can go further!
If possible, he wanted to walk to the last step and then leave.

Squeeze the benefits of the Ice God's inheritance to the extreme!
"System, add more!"

"Strengthen my genetic level to 30 times!" Wang Xiu suddenly shouted in his heart!
"Okay, master!"

As the system sounded, a familiar energy reappeared and moved through the body along a strange and complex route.

Every time this energy travels through the body, it changes its route.

And as this energy moved around, Wang Xiu felt that his physical condition was also improving rapidly!
……

After a moment, the energy disappeared, and the previous pain and pressure on Wang Xiu's body also disappeared, and his condition became extremely good.

"Continue to practice!" Feeling the long-lost sense of relaxation coming from his body, Wang Xiu grinned and continued to move towards the next step.

……

Twenty years later.

The next qualifying battle is less than ten years away, with an email from Virtual Universe Company regarding the qualifying battle.

In Yuxiang Mountain, the hostility in the four major areas of the original, the beginning, the heaven and earth, and the end of the world suddenly increased a lot.

Everyone is trying their best to practice, not wanting to be eliminated to a worse area.

At the same time, a piece of news also spread in Yuxiang Mountain.

Luo Feng, a member of the original secret realm universe level, lost contact during the desperate level mission "The Demon Mountain"!
And the time of loss of contact has been more than two years!

However, because Wang Xiu, who is also a member of the original secret realm universe level, had been out of contact in the Demon Mountain for ten years, although Luo Feng has been out of contact in the Demon Mountain for two years this time, most people did not take it seriously.

……

Yuxiang Mountain, primitive area, in the manor where Moro lives.

"Humph, Luo Feng, ah Luo Feng, blame it on you for blocking my way." Moro sat cross-legged in the training field, his eyes flashing coldly, and then a trace of regret flashed across his eyes, "It's a pity that Wang Xiu didn't die."

"Wang Xiu is my biggest obstacle this time!"

"He didn't die after being out of contact for ten years during a desperate mission. And Wang Xiu has been in the Demon Mountain for nearly forty years, right?"

As he was thinking, an inexplicable irritation suddenly surged into his heart, making Moro's face look a little hideous.

"Damn it!"

"Am I destined to be eliminated to the Taichu Secret Realm this time?"

He also accepted the mission at the Demon Mountain. As for the environment at the Demon Mountain, it was hard for Moro to imagine how strong one had to be to be able to stay in such a harsh environment for forty consecutive years!
There are now six people in the original secret realm, three old ones and three new ones.

Among the newcomers, Wang Xiu’s strength needs no explanation, he is definitely in the first tier.

When I first left Chaos City, I had already passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge.

Although Wang Xiu has not been able to cross the Tongtian Bridge over the years, judging from the fact that Wang Xiu was able to stay in the Demon Mountain for such a long time, his strength is definitely above that of Moro.

Moro is very aware of this.

Although the other two newcomers have great potential, Moro is not worried. What's more, Luo Feng has been dealt with by him and will no longer pose a threat to him.

As for Borlan... Although Borlan has great talent and has already passed the seventh level.

However, even if they both passed the seventh level of Tongtian Bridge, there were still differences in their strength.

Moro was confident that he would not lose to a newcomer who had just passed the seventh level of Tongtian Bridge.

But the problem is, what about the remaining three people, Wang Xiu, Fituo, and Sima Yan!

No matter which one he faced, Moro had no confidence.

Needless to say, Wang Xiu and Fituo were both people who had passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge.

Although Sima Yan, like Moro, had passed the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, he was an illusionist.

It naturally restrains pure close combat warriors like Moro.

In the battles between the two in the past, Moro lost more than he won.

This time...

"Huh..." After venting his anger, Moro calmed down and shook his head. "There's still time. Let's go to the Illusion Sea a few more times before the next qualifying match begins."

"Hone your will and strive to raise it to a higher level before the qualifying round begins."

"Otherwise..." Thinking of this, Moruo shook his head again, "No, I, Moruo, can't lose!"

"I will definitely win!"
