Chapter 94 The Unbelievable Powerful Figures of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!
Virtual universe, the continent where the preliminary contestants are located.
"Brother, where are you?" Luo Hua made a phone call.
"We don't know either, why did you come in so late?" Luo Feng asked.
"You guys are too early. I was just with Xiaonan," Luo Hua said with a smile. "Besides, I've been in the virtual universe the whole time."
Luo Feng rolled his eyes: "I'm really impressed by you. You're too calm. Aren't you afraid of being late?"
Zhou Ze said speechlessly, "We did arrive a bit early, but you didn't have to come at the last minute—"
Luo Hua touched his nose sheepishly and said, "The main thing is that it doesn't have time constraints; I can teleport here anytime—"
Thor laughed, "Your personality is the complete opposite of your brother's—"
"Seriously, don't you two get tired of being together all the time?"
Thor wanted to say something, but the countdown was almost over.
Amidst the sea of people, Zhou Ze, Luo Feng, and the other two exchanged glances.
"Good luck," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Let's pass the qualifiers together." Thor smiled as well.
"Keep it up," Hong said with a smile.
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "Good luck to you!"
Luo Hua smiled slightly and said, "Let's all keep going!"
".—.—.1! Teleport!"
A clear, universal language echoed in the ears of over eight hundred billion people on this continent, and then in an instant, everyone on the entire continent vanished.
At the same moment.
In the virtual universe, more than 82 billion people have appeared in one hundred separate worlds.
A battle of the universe's most outstanding human geniuses begins simultaneously across all universes!
As a grand event for all humankind, from the highest immortals to ordinary cosmic citizens who can enter the virtual universe, almost everyone is paying attention to this once-in-ten-thousand-years event.
100th World Zone.
Zhou Ze felt a blur before his eyes, and after about three seconds, his vision cleared.
He appeared on the rooftop of a building.
"The gravity is quite strong."
Zhou Ze felt the powerful gravity and looked down at the screen on his wrist. This tiger-skin screen automatically received a lot of information transmitted by the "Virtual Universe Company".
The screen was covered with a dense array of universal language.
[Participant: Zhou Ze (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)]
Points: 0
[Rank: None]
[Location: World Zone 100]
[Timeframe: The preliminary elimination rounds will last for 30 days. At the end of the 30-day period, the winner will be determined based on the final standings.]
[Note: The hardness of houses, floors, and many other items in the 100th World Zone is B9.]
[Scoring Rules: Killing a player earns one point, and you also receive half of the opponent's points.]
[Leaderboard Rules: Half of the points are deducted from the score of the deceased]
[A detailed ranking list is provided below]
Zhou Ze glanced at it briefly. Although he knew the rules, "Each world zone has 82 billion people, which is too many. We should focus our efforts in the mid-to-late stages." Zhou Ze was determined to win first place. He didn't have the leisure or interest to slowly fight in the arena. However, there was no need to put in the effort at the beginning, since everyone didn't have many points.
Of course, if someone comes to you for help, that's another story.
"Boom boom~"
Within seconds, Zhou Ze noticed a series of booming sounds coming from not far away, and even from the bottom of the building.
The roar seemed to act as a fuse; for a long time, the roaring sound continued in Zhou Ze's ears, which was extremely exciting!
Logically, one should conserve strength at this stage and unleash it later. Nobody is stupid. Starting a fight at this point not only makes it easy to have kills stolen, but also allows others to pick off enemies when you're almost exhausted, and the rewards for killing are very low.
But there are always some people who are confident in themselves, or who are bloodthirsty, who arouse people's desires.
Zhou Ze carried the dark gold staff on his back, which was the same Divine Weapon that Luo Feng had been practicing, hoping to make those around him more sensible.
But there are always some "blind" people who, seeing Zhou Ze standing there dumbly, rush over without thinking and try to grab a point.
"A great start!"
The man with pointed ears seemed extremely confident in his strength, not even bothering to hide his attack, and made no attempt to conceal his movements, directly smashing a hammer at Zhou Ze.
build!
A soft sound rang out, and the head, body, and weapon of the pointed-eared man fell directly from the air.
"A truly great start!"
Zhou Ze smiled, and this scene was witnessed by the people around him, who were immediately shocked and scattered like birds and beasts.
Zhou Ze was too lazy to chase after them, so he stood on the rooftop and looked around.
"That's impressive."
"Triple Realm, that's something else—"
"This guy's combat uniform is pretty cool, but it's all style and no substance."
Zhou Ze's inner thoughts: how to pass the time when he's bored.
"Another one who doesn't know their place—"
With a slight thought, Zhou Ze sent a thin, golden sword, as thin as a cicada's wing, detaching from the Divine Weapon and instantly piercing through the person's head.
"Mental power is still the most efficient and simplest."
Zhou Ze stood still for a while, seeing that the battle around him had ended, and amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he flew directly into the sky until he encountered an invisible barrier, at which point he stopped and sat cross-legged there.
"How arrogant!"
"Is this guy crazy?"
"It's a Divine Weapon! He must be a super genius who has crossed the threshold of the Laws realm; no wonder he's so confident!"
Some martial artists who were not inside the building saw Zhou Ze standing in the sky, some with disdain and others with amazement.
But no one dared to disturb Zhou Ze, since the Divine Weapon was standing right there.
Whether they are martial artists or mentalists, as long as they are not from native planets, many people know about the existence of Divine Weapons. The bottom line for using Divine Weapons is to comprehend two major laws, one of which requires a higher-level law!
"Dad, why did this person fly so high?"
A young girl with a patterned face asked a question to a man who looked very young.
The young man, still inwardly amazed, recovered upon hearing his daughter's words and said, "He has absolute confidence in himself!"
The young girl wanted to say something, but then she noticed Zhou Ze turn around and smile at her.
"It seems he's spotted us?" the young girl asked curiously. "Wasn't there supposed to be a barrier that would block us?"
"It's just a coincidence. He flew so high, he must know we're watching him!" The young man felt a little strange.
Zhou Ze naturally couldn't detect them, but he could sense a slight fluctuation of will, which was particularly noticeable after he arrived.
Moreover, since he flew so close to the outside of the membrane, he naturally expected that many people would be attracted to him.
First World Zone.
Spaceships floated slowly above the membrane, and inside a single room on one of the spaceships.
Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, Xu Xin, Luo Feng's two children, and Xu Xin's family were watching.
"This battle of geniuses isn't even being broadcast," Xu Gang remarked. "If you want to watch the preliminary matches, you have to come to this world zone and take a spaceship to see them from above, and it's so expensive. They really know how to make money."
"That's not bad," Xu Xin laughed. "With over 82 billion people, how will the match be broadcast?"
"That's true." Xu Gang nodded.
Through the virtual exterior view, Xu Xin can look down and see the bloody battles taking place in the cities of the mainland below. By "zooming in," she can clearly see the faces of everyone below. Of course, if she is hiding inside a building, she cannot see this.
"Mom, Dad's ranking keeps dropping."
"Grandpa Zhou, my eldest uncle, my second uncle, and Uncle Ahua's rankings have been consistently dropping—"
Both children were very worried.
Even Xu Xin and the others didn't understand; they simply thought that the martial artists on Earth were still far behind those in the entire universe.
What they don't know is that there are generally two types of people who fall into this situation: one is those who are not good enough, and the other is those who are absolutely confident in their abilities.
Killing one person earns one point. Apart from fools and reckless fools, not many truly strong individuals would start by indiscriminately killing people.
88 World Zone.
Compared to the original story, Tu Man also refrained from widespread killing at this point, because it was unnecessary, just as Zhou Ze said.
What's fun in the world zone?
There will be plenty of opportunities when the final rankings are decided.
This is also why Tu Man's mindset has become much more stable in the two or three years since he started following Zhou Ze.
"I will definitely get number one in the overall rankings!"
Remembering what Zhou Ze had told him, Tu Man now seizes every moment to cultivate and improve himself!
World Zone 55.
Clark killed a ninth-tier Hengxing martial artist who charged at him with a single sword strike, inwardly cursing:
"Is it really necessary to come here to die?"
He was surrounded by densely packed buildings.
It wasn't that he wanted to catch up from the start, but unfortunately, he teleported directly to the plaza, where there were too many people and he was also very easy to be spotted.
In the lavish and spacious hall of a spaceship, thousands of people were seated; this group was the true ruling class of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
The "Universe Humanity - Peak Genius Battle" is a grand event for all humanity in the universe, open to all universe nations. This kind of event, which is related to the honor and interests of the entire empire, naturally attracts the special attention of the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor.
The one who naturally attracted the most attention from the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor was Zhou Ze, so his region was District 100.
"Teacher Zhou, you are really enjoying yourself." Heilongshan Emperor smiled slightly as he viewed the virtual scenery.
Manluo and Wright, who were also sitting next to him, were looking at Zhou Ze, who was sitting cross-legged high in the air.
Manluo asked in surprise, "Zhou Ze is a psychic?"
"That's true. If he weren't a psychic, how could he be capable of instructing other psychics!"
Manlu had never seen Zhou Ze use telekinetic weapons, and subconsciously thought that Zhou Ze was not a telekinetic master.
Wright was equally surprised: "He's surrounded by divine weapons, right? They're spatial and metal-based. Isn't he water-based?"
Manlu smiled and said, "This little guy has a lot of things hidden on him. You'll get used to it."
The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor's eyes lit up with delight: "I wonder where Teacher Zhou will rank overall?"
He had already thought far ahead.
"There are still several years to go—" Manluo said with a smile.
Wright chuckled as well, "I hope he has the strength he claims to have. Mine's been gathering dust in my spatial ring for ages..."
The emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was puzzled.
Manlu asked curiously, "What is it that you value so much?"
Wright shook his head: "It can't be said, it can't be said—"
Around Zhou Ze, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire Emperor and Wright and Manlu chatted casually.
Not far away, groups of powerful and wealthy people were also chatting, all of them having lost all composure, and they were all talking about the same person:
"I never expected this, I never expected this—"
"Unbelievable! This is outrageous! I never imagined that the 'Saint Master' was really just a Celestial level being—no, he was only a Planetary level being back then—"
"It's too hard to believe. I initially thought he might be an immortal being. He couldn't possibly be just a planetary or celestial being."
"If he hadn't passed the virtual universe registration test, I wouldn't have believed it even if I'd seen it with my own eyes!"
This group of powerful figures included many realm lords and domain lords, but they were all utterly shocked. Who could have imagined that a mere planetary-level being...
He was able to guide a group of much stronger individuals on the arena, including some cosmic-level powerhouses!
"Thank goodness I wasn't chosen, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed!"
Someone said with relief.
But someone quickly countered, "I'd love to be chosen. Even though the 'Holy Master' is a bit weak, he can genuinely guide others. Compared to saving face, improving my strength is the most important thing!"
These words immediately garnered the approval of many powerful and influential figures.
"Face is superficial; increasing strength is tangible, and the 'Holy Master' truly possesses this ability. What's there to care about?"
"One out of the three could be my teacher. So what if he's not very capable? If he has the ability to guide me, I'll respect him. It's a pity I don't have that opportunity!"
"Indeed, I have a junior who, at the peak of the cosmic level, received guidance from a holy master, greatly improving his strength and significantly increasing his chances of breaking through to the domain lord level!"
A group of powerful and influential people were discussing among themselves when Mingyu, who had come with Manluo, spoke up with a smile:
"If the 'Holy Master' could guide me and help me break through to immortality, I would be willing to kneel down!"
These words were immediately affirmed by many, and suddenly an emperor from a nascent civilization said:
"Do you think that if the 'Holy Master' were to become a realm lord, or even an immortal god, would he still be able to provide guidance at this level?"
The group of powerful figures fell silent immediately; they had been so shocked that they hadn't even considered this question.
In that room, almost everyone's consciousness fluctuated greatly.
"Oh my god, how come I didn't think of that!"
"Good heavens, that's terrifying—"
"I've actually attended his classes. Maybe it really works, if he can break through to the Domain Lord, Realm Lord, or even Immortal!"
Everyone was secretly alarmed, imagining what Zhou Ze would look like when he grew up. Some shook their heads:
"Breaking through to the Domain Lord or Realm Lord level isn't that simple, let alone becoming immortal—"
"It's too difficult."
Mingyu murmured, "You've all forgotten, the 'Saint Master' is a super genius who comprehended the Law of Time—"
Pointing to the divine weapon beside Zhou Ze, he said, "This seems to be a divine weapon with spatial and metal attributes." At this moment, everyone was silently pondering, their thoughts filled with dread.
"I have never seen such an amazing person in my entire life!" A powerful expert at the peak of the realm lord exclaimed, "No wonder His Majesty cares so much about the 'Holy Master'."
Zhou Ze's existence astonished many world lords and domain lords. It wasn't that they lacked composure, but even immortals who came over and learned of Zhou Ze's "Saint Master" identity and his participation in the Genius Battle selection would be deeply shocked!
Ten days passed quickly.
For the past ten days or so, everyone has been watching Zhou Ze's movements closely. However, Zhou Ze remained motionless in the air. At first, Zhou Ze was interested in watching the warriors below fight.
Later on, he simply shut himself off and immersed himself in his inner world.
During this period, some people came to deliver gifts, but after that, no one in the city approached Zhou Ze anymore.
"That's about enough. Any later and we'll have to head to the arena for the fight." Zhou Ze slowly opened his eyes.
