Chapter 130 Bolan vs. Luo Feng! Bolan is having some existential doubts!
P.S.: The setting at the end of the previous chapter was incorrect and has been corrected.
"Poor Ai Chen, even though she won, she couldn't advance. Sigh—"
After the top five list was released, many geniuses expressed their regret for Lightsaber Aichen.
"There's no way around it. The Venerable One said from the beginning that the advancement rules aren't determined by winning or losing, but by each person's performance! Although Bolan lost to Rong Jun, who dares to say that the victorious Ai Chen can compare to Bolan?"
"Hmm—but what makes that colorful light advance?"
"We were all focused on the battle between Bolan and Rong Jun, and didn't notice the fight between Caiguang and the apprentice..."
"The judgment system of the virtual universe is really hard to keep up with—"
Among the 1000 geniuses in the central square, many recalled being excluded without even being qualified to compete.
Everyone inevitably has some emotions inside.
But they knew that the decisions of the Virtual Universe Company's top management were not something they could question; they had already been taught a lesson by those immortals.
Ai Chen's failure to be selected was not their own fault, so they weren't too emotional, just a little resentful.
"Aichen, are you alright?" Qian Shui asked softly.
Who would have thought that this seemingly delicate and stunningly beautiful woman would actually make it into the top five in this battle of geniuses, demonstrating terrifying strength!
As one of only two female martial artists among the top ten, and having just gone through the battle, she and Ai Chen developed a mutual respect for each other.
"It's not good at all, Qianshui—" Aichen looked very dejected, but then she grinned and put her arm around Qianshui's shoulder: "I'm so pretty, if it weren't for the virtual universe system, you would definitely choose me—"
Ai Chen was lively, cheerful, and mischievous, showing no sign of disappointment.
"Qian Shui, your appearance and strength are so deceptive!" Ai Chen leaned closer to Qian Shui's cute, adorable face, inhaling the pleasant fragrance emanating from her skin. "You seem so delicate at heart, yet you're incredibly strong!"
"If the arena space hadn't shrunk at the end—"
A gentle smile appeared in Qian Shui's watery eyes: "If I can't beat you, I can't beat you. I'm no match for you on the stage, hehe—"
Ai Chen, holding Qian Shui's hand, said, "Qian Shui, let's go sit somewhere. The top five will be taking turns fighting soon, I'm really looking forward to it—"
Ai Chen and Qian Shui walked hand in hand, like two exquisite flowers, immediately attracting the attention of many geniuses.
Even the most resolute man can't help but take a second look at a beautiful woman.
On the plaza, Luo Feng, Tu Man, Lei Dian, and Clark, four of the top five, along with Zhou Ze, one of the top ten, gathered together, constantly attracting the attention of most geniuses and even many immortals.
It's hard to imagine that these five geniuses, all from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, are all in the top ten, with four of them even occupying the top five spots!
"Haha, we're really in the spotlight now, everyone's watching us—" Thor muttered to himself.
Clark, ignoring the intense gaze fixed on him, immediately tried to change the subject, saying, "Indeed, Brother Lei, go easy on him later—"
"Call me senior brother—" Tu Man stared intently at Clark.
Clark pretended not to hear and looked at Luo Feng, saying, "Senior Brother Luo Feng, please go easy on him later—"
Tu Man raised an eyebrow. Didn't you hear that?
"Not calling me senior brother? I'll make you call me senior brother later!" Tu Man said with ill intent.
Clark paused, then asked, "So, can we abstain?"
"Anyway, I can't make the top three. Whether I'm in the top three or the top ten, it's all the same—"
Clark's eyes darted around. He preferred to call Tu Man "Dad" to "Senior Brother." After all, "Dad" was just a joke, but calling him "Senior Brother" would really lower his status in the sect.
"Brother Rong Jun—" Clark said with a smile, "Look at our relationship, is it necessary to be so clear-cut? I studied under a teacher first, and it was because of me that you had the opportunity to become his disciple!"
Clark played the emotional card.
"That's one thing, that's another!" Tu Man said coldly. "Hurry up, a bet's a bet, call me 'Senior Brother'!"
Clark glanced at the others and saw that Luo Feng and the others were all smiling at him. A thought struck him, and he turned his head towards Luo Feng, calling out:
"Senior brother!"
Tu Man raised an eyebrow: "They're calling me, not Senior Brother Luo Feng!"
"I don't care, I've already called you that—" Clark chuckled, "Besides, it didn't say I had to keep calling you 'senior brother' from now on."
Clark acted like a child, throwing a tantrum.
"Ha ha-"
This made Luo Feng and the others laugh involuntarily.
Tu Man, on the other hand, looked disdainful and contemptuous.
A moment later, two brand-new arenas slowly rose up, enveloped in a semi-transparent light curtain.
Above each arena is displayed a universal language used by a particular race.
[Luo Feng vs. Bolan] [Rong Jun vs. Clark]
Clark's eyes widened, and he looked at Tu Man with a forced smile, saying, "Senior Brother Rong Jun, please show mercy—"
Tu Man's lips curled into a smile: "Junior Brother Clark, it's easy to say, it's easy to say."
Each of the top five players must compete against the other four, and the final ranking is determined by the number of wins.
At this moment, everyone was focused on the battle between Luo Feng and Bo Lan.
They all knew that four years ago, during the national selection process, Luo Feng, as the senior brother, had defeated Tu Man, who was the junior brother.
It's unclear how strong the two are now.
"I think Rong Jun is stronger!"
"I think so too."
"Rong Jun defeated Bolan with just two strikes, demonstrating a level of strength far surpassing Bolan's!"
"I wonder if Luo Feng, as Rong Jun's senior brother, can defeat Bolan!"
"As Rong Jun's senior brother, Luo Feng shouldn't be much worse than Rong Jun, right?"
The battle between Luo Feng and Bo Lan also captivated everyone, including those great and immortal figures.
"Here it comes, the duel between those two little guys, Berlan and Luo Feng!"
"Luo Feng has definitely been hiding his strength; it's just a matter of whether he's a match for Bo Lan!"
"It's hard to say. That little rascal Rong Jun just said that those two stabs were prepared for Luo Feng!"
"See? There's nothing to think about. We'll know after the competition!"
Amidst the discussions among the immortals, their eyes never left Bolan and Luo Feng.
The Nine Swords Venerable sat in the middle, a slight smile on his face, also watching intently. After a few seconds, he slowly spoke, his voice reaching the ears of the four people on the arena:
"Battle begins!"
On the arena.
Luo Feng and Bo Lan didn't say anything harsh and immediately started fighting.
Bolan naturally took Rong Jun's senior brother, who had killed him with two blows, very seriously. His body twisted, creating nearly a thousand clones, and the laws of space and time all erupted.
They go all out from the start!
Luo Feng had already witnessed Bo Lan's strength, so there was nothing left to test him on. His entire body radiated an aura, giving the impression of a colossal beast coiled there—savage and bloodthirsty.
"Huff!" "Huff!" "Huff!"
The dark gold staff on his back flew out in a series of overwhelming golden streams of light. A large number of small golden swords floated in front of Luo Feng, with countless gold threads flowing around them. The complex secret patterns on the small golden swords shot out a large number of golden threads, which connected with each other and quickly combined to form a huge, hazy totem golden pillar!
Luo Feng's greatest trump card in human form: the fourth level of the Divine Weapon – the Great Skill Without Artificiality!
"Die!"
Luo Ge pointed to the nearly one thousand Berlans rushing over from not far away, and the totem golden pillars began to roll with a rumble, as if the surrounding space was being flattened like a pancake.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
Berlan's attacks struck the totem pillar like a tickle, failing to damage the massive totem pillar in the slightest.
"Pfft!"
The seemingly slowly rolling totem pillar actually crushed it in an instant, and nearly a thousand clones were wiped out as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
Berlan was crushed into a bloody mist, like an ant, and trampled to death!
The battle ended too quickly! If this were a battle between the top 10 or 100, it would be considered normal, but this was a battle between the top five, and Berlan was the one who got instantly killed!!!
At that moment, countless people either gaped in disbelief, found it hard to believe, or were simply incredulous!
They had assumed that Luo Feng, as Rong Jun's senior brother, must be very strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this terrifyingly strong. He was in no way inferior to Rong Jun, and judging from the totem golden pillars he released, he was even more powerful and magnificent!
Battle over!
Berlan, who was teleported to the square and resurrected, stood there stunned, his mind blank for a moment.
He, who had always been invincible, was defeated twice in a row, and it could be said that he was instantly killed, with no ability to fight back.
He couldn't accept it for a while, and even began to doubt the meaning of life!
Is he weak? No, no, no, it's clearly these two who are too abnormal. I'm not weak at all. Most realm lords are not as good as me in their understanding of the fundamental laws of space.
Even so, being instantly killed repeatedly is something no one can stand!
"How did those two cultivate?" Bolan wondered if they were using cheat codes.
In the central square, after a moment of stunned silence, a clamor erupted once more. Not only that, even the great and immortal ones were incredulous!
"Good heavens, what's going on with this year's Genius Battle?"
"Do you think Berlan's strength might not be as great as we imagined?" an immortal asked blankly.
"Bullshit! It's these two brothers who are too freakish! With the talent Berlan has shown, if he joins the Virtual Universe Company and maintains it, he will definitely be considered a peerless genius, appearing only once every tens of thousands of epochs!"
"So, this means our graduating class has produced three geniuses that only appear once every ten thousand epochs???"
"Even Bolan, a peerless genius who appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs, was instantly killed! The talent and aptitude displayed by Luo Feng and Rong Jun are clearly those that appear only once every tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of epochs!!"
"Since when have geniuses, who only appear once every ten thousand epochs, become so worthless? Losing once is bad enough, but being defeated in succession—no, being instantly killed twice???"
The group of great immortals were somewhat numb, but the Nine Swords Venerable among them blinked.
He was a little dazed just now.
As a peerless genius who was also considered to appear only once every tens of thousands of epochs, and as the champion of that year's genius battle, he could roughly feel that he and this little guy, Bolan, were not much different.
Generally, only one such person appears once every ten thousand epochs, or hundreds of millions of years, across all of humanity's 1008 cosmic kingdoms.
What's wrong with this generation of geniuses?
If a super genius like Bolan, who is almost on par with himself, was instantly defeated, doesn't that mean that Bolan, who swept all the way to the top and won first place in that year's genius competition, would also be instantly defeated in this year's competition?
This world is crazy—
As shocking as it may be, the competition must continue.
After the contest between Bolan and Luo Feng, Clark and Tu Man quickly ended their relationship.
In this round, Luo Feng and Tu Man won once, but they still need to compete against the other three once each.
The list of the second round was quickly displayed above the two arenas.
[Bolan vs. Thunder] [Luo Feng vs. Color Light]
"What a pity, I was hoping to see the duel between Luo Feng and his fellow disciple Rong Jun."
"There shouldn't be any surprises in these two battles."
"You know what, I actually have a psychological aversion to it. This lightning also comes from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Haha, maybe it's hiding amazing power and can even defeat Bolan?"
"Hey, don't underestimate Berlan, that's really going too far—"
"This rainbow light is rather pitiful. It's going to be brutally defeated in two consecutive matches. It only has a chance against lightning."
After two consecutive extremely exciting matches, the second match left the group of geniuses with little desire to watch. In their view, the outcome of these two matches was essentially decided before they even began.
There's no way any more accidents could happen.
The power displayed by Lei Dian and Cai Guang was far inferior to that of Luo Feng and Bo Lan. They would have been instantly killed by the two of them.
