Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

In the central square, the geniuses who failed to enter the top 20 sat casually. They no longer needed to participate in the battle, so they could communicate and get to know each other easily so that they could take care of each other after entering the core layer of the virtual universe company.

"Congratulations, Karp, you successfully entered the top 100."

"Hey, although I entered the top 100, I failed to enter the 20-person list and could not compete for the top ten Taichu Secret Realm names. I am a little unwilling."

"If you are still unwilling, then I am even more unwilling. I didn't even enter the top 100."

"Haha, Minor, you lost a bit miserably."

"There is no way, I met the 'Mad Demon' Li Qi, and was suppressed without the power to fight back."

"The 'Mad Demon' Li Qi is very strong. It is estimated that only Ke Di and Fei can beat him."

...

While other geniuses were chatting, the geniuses who entered the 20-person list were scattered in a corner, resting and adjusting their status.

Sitting cross-legged, Li Qi closed his eyes and adjusted his state. He was not too worried about the upcoming 20-to-10 duel.

Unless there was a problem with the virtual universe system and he was put in the same group with Ke Di, he had a great chance of entering the top ten.

The reason why it was not 100% was that if he faced the only illusionist ‘Fei’ in the 20-man list, he was not sure of winning.

Suddenly, Li Qi noticed that someone was staring at him. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Nuno from the Yan God Clan.

"This guy..." Looking at Nuno who was undisguised and full of hostility, Li Qi wanted to meet him more and more in the next battle.

...

About half an hour later.

Rumble...

The entire central square shook, 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, Li Qi and twenty other people who were originally resting were instantly teleported into these ten giant arenas.

"Chen Yi and Philip, miserable!"

"Yeah, Chen Yi met Ke Di, and Philip met Li Qi."

"Hokuli's luck wasn't good either, he met Fei."

The geniuses watching the match outside the ring were talking about it, feeling sorry for the three people who met Ke Di, Li Qi and Fei, and they could even guess the result without watching the match.

...

Inside the ring.

Chen Yi, with a cold face, looked at Ke Di, who was also cold on the opposite side, and complained in his heart, "My luck is too bad, I actually met Ke Di."

It's not only Chen Yi who complained, but also the bald young man Philip, because his opponent is Li Qi!

"It's really unlucky to meet Li Qi, whose attack means are second only to Ke Di." The bald young man Philip holding two shields was very depressed.

As a genius who is good at the origin of the earth and has realized a little bit of the law of space, his fighting method is defense, using defense to consume and defeat the enemy.

It was precisely because his fighting style was defensive that he failed to enter the top 100 in the points ranking of the Trial Tower pre-selection, and entered the core layer of the virtual universe through three rounds of battles.

"If my opponent was not Li Qi, I would not necessarily lose even if I met Fei."

Philip was very confident in his will and soul defense methods, but the opponent he met now restrained him too much!

"Double shield, mainly for defense and counterattack!"

Looking at Philip holding the double shield, Li Qi smiled, "Let's see if your defense can block my endless vine attack!"

With a thought, a vine stretched out from the green vine column behind him.

Squeak!

The endless vine formed by the rotation and interweaving of two vines, and then extended and grew towards Philip in the distance!

"Trouble!" Although he realized a trace of the law of space, Philip's body movement speed was average, and even worse than Li Qi.

Facing the extension and growth of the endless vine, he had no choice but to flee to the side.

If he followed his previous fighting style, he would try to delay time and wait until the competition space was reduced before counterattacking, but now he couldn't afford to delay because he had no confidence in defending against the attack of the Endless Vine.

Philip had just escaped not far when he exclaimed, "Not good!"

It turned out that the Endless Vine that had just extended and grown was not as thin and short as when Li Qi broke into the Trial Tower, but became extremely thin and long, tens or hundreds of meters long!

"This guy, the 'Mad Demon', actually kept a trick!" Philip was angry in his heart, "The Endless Vine can actually be used like this."

At this time, his escape space had been sealed and he was suppressed in this corner of the ring.

He relied on escaping to delay time, and then used defense to try to survive. At present, it seems that this tactic is not feasible.

Squeak!

Under Li Qi's control, the Endless Vine with a green light continued to extend and grow, compressing and swinging back and forth like a greedy snake, preventing Philip from leaving this corner.

"Damn it!"

Philip looked sideways and saw the edge of the ring covered by a black silk screen, which was shrinking.

Looking back again, he saw the green vines in front of him extending and moving like a greedy snake.

"Ah!"

With a roar, Philip charged at the vines with his double shields. Rather than waiting for the endless vines to gradually eat away at the living space and finally be sealed alive, it is better to give it a try!

Ding Ding...

Philip held two shields and chopped the endless vines with the sharp edge of the fifth-level battle shield, which immediately made a crisp metal collision sound. Deep gaps appeared on the endless vines, and some green debris light rose from the gaps.

"It's time to end it!"

Seeing Philip give it a try, Li Qi also moved his mind, and the endless vines that were compressing the former's living space moved quickly.

Rotate, surround, shrink!

In just a moment, the Endless Vine had wrapped Philip into a cocoon, and finally shrank again!

Crunch!

Crunch!

"Ah!"

The sound of bones breaking rang out one after another, accompanied by a scream.

When the Endless Vine loosened and turned into tens of thousands of tiny vines and flew back to Li Qi, Philip's twisted and deformed body appeared on the ring, and at this moment he was dead!

So far, Li Qi won the 20-to-10 duel and successfully entered the Taichu Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company!

After winning, Li Qi looked at the surrounding rings and saw that only two rings had ended the battle, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The winners of the two rings that had ended the battle were Ke Di and Fei. With his winning speed, he ranked third and would not face these two people.

...

A few minutes later, all the rings ended the battle, and the winners stood on the ring.

The Venerable Gu Lun, wearing a red fire battle suit, teleported to mid-air, and a powerful invisible pressure emanated, making everyone present look at him.

"Congratulations to the ten winners. You are in the top ten. Your prize money has increased to 1,000 Hunyuan units and you can enter the 'Taichu Secret Realm'."

Venerable Gu Lun said: "Wait a moment, the top five will be selected from the ten of you, and the first and second place will be selected from the top five."

"According to the rules of the virtual universe system, the ten of you will have different winning times in the battle. The fastest time will compete with the slowest time, and the second fastest time will compete with the second slowest time... and so on!"

Thanks to the book friend Canglanzhimeng for the reward.
