"Beep!"
"Name: Luo Feng!"
"Scanning complete: Star Level, Level 8 Spiritualist. Approved!"
The virtual universe network could scan a person's actual strength through a link to their consciousness, confirming whether applicants met the required standards for the 'Cosmic Human Peak Genius Battle'.
Soon.
"Beep!"
"Name: Hong!"
"Scanning complete: Star Level, Level 8 Warrior. Approved!"
"Beep!"
"Name: Thunder God!"
"Scanning complete. Star Level 9 Warrior. Approved!"
"Beep!"
"Name: Jiang Li!"
"Scanning complete. Star Level 5 Warrior. Approved!"
After Jiang Li finished the scan.
"Why are you a Warrior?"
Old Man Wu stared at Jiang Li, his face full of astonishment. Thunder God, Hong, Luo Feng, and Babata were also taken aback.
"Maybe it was a mis-scan."
Jiang Li smiled slightly, also surprised in his heart.
"There are still twenty-eight days until the registration deadline. We can cultivate properly!"
Everyone didn't dwell on the issue. Hong's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said, "My goal is to make it into the peak finals!"
"Same!"
"Aim for the top 1,000 in the universe!"
Luo Feng's eyes were firm: "Jiang Bro, what about you!"
"Me?"
Jiang Li pondered briefly, his expression quickly becoming resolute. He then uttered two words: "Top spot!"
Everyone: "..."
As time passed, with the event being broadcast across countless galaxies in numerous universe countries, the number of applicants grew rapidly. Within Ganwu Universe Country alone, it surpassed 800 billion, a terrifyingly large number.
And at this moment.
When Jiang Li emerged from the third-floor pavilion, Lord Wanshan was sitting cross-legged in the hall of the third-floor pavilion.
"You've come out of seclusion?"
Lord Wanshan looked over, a slight smile on his face. "Your realm hasn't advanced, but the Laws surrounding you seem to have undergone some changes?"
"It seems you've been comprehending the Laws these past few months…"
"Yes."
Jiang Li took a step forward, crossing a distance of several hundred meters to stand before Lord Wanshan. He bowed slightly and said, "This disciple has already signed up for the Cosmic Human Peak Genius Battle."
"Mhm."
Lord Wanshan nodded and said, "I won't put any pressure on you. Just do your best."
Although he had full confidence in Jiang Li, geniuses among the human race in the universe were as numerous as the carp crossing the river, countless.
Just from what he knew, there were at least a dozen peerless geniuses at Star Level 9 who possessed nine levels of Domain and had merged two Laws.
Even though Jiang Li had an advantage in the Laws, his cultivation level and Domain were both at a disadvantage.
And.
Besides 'Domain' and 'Law comprehension', 'Will', 'Movement technique', 'Combat methods', 'Combat experience', and so on are also very important in the genius selection.
Compared to other Star Level geniuses who are hundreds of years old, Jiang Li is too young!
"Teacher, rest assured."
Jiang Li's eyes were firm, and he solemnly said, "This disciple will definitely not let you down!"
"Good!"
Time continued to pass, and soon Jiang Li received an email from the Virtual Universe Company.
At the same time, all the contestants who had signed up for the Cosmic Human Peak Genius Battle also received the same email.
"Just as I remember."
Jiang Li opened the email, a smile playing on his lips.
This time, the Virtual Universe Company stipulated that all contestants' physical attributes would be the same, maintaining the Star Level nine-stage standard. This included weapons, battle armor, and space auxiliary devices, all of which were standardized.
Therefore, whether he was at stage five or six didn't matter.
"The only variable is spiritual force."
Jiang Li continued reading, discovering that the contestants' spiritual force was also maintained at the Star Level nine-stage standard.
He wasn't sure whether the spiritual force released by his soul strength fell within this category.
"Ganwu Universe Country is divided into 100 sectors?"
Jiang Li looked further and found he was assigned to Ganwu Universe Country, Sector 11.
Each sector was divided into the 'Preliminary Elimination Round' and the 'Arena Decisive Battle'.
The preliminary round eliminated 99.9% of the competitors from the 800+ billion Star Level contestants. Then, the final 1,000 contestants were selected through the Arena Decisive Battle.
The rules for the Preliminary Elimination Round in Ganwu Universe Country were simple.
Contestants in each sector would fight each other, killing others to earn points. The more kills, the more points! Each contestant only had one chance. Once killed, they would be eliminated from the sector.
Finally, the rankings were determined by points in descending order. Those in the top 1001 would advance.
The first-place winner in each sector did not need to participate in the Arena Decisive Battle. The remaining 100,000 people would compete for the final 900 spots.
After reading the email, Jiang Li entered the virtual universe network.
At this moment.
Hong, Thunder God, Luo Feng, and Ye Changge were all in his separate courtyard.
"I can almost see mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"
Hong said with a sigh.
"Over eighty billion Star Level warriors killing each other... this scene is no less than a Level One Rat Tide!"
Thunder God's eyes gleamed with a ferocious light, and he couldn't help but lick his lips, his fighting spirit surging.
They had all clawed their way out of the Great Nirvana, and far from fearing bloody battles, they found them exhilarating.
"I'm actually looking forward to it!"
After Luo Feng had taken over the Golden Horned Beast, a hint of bloodlust flickered in his eyes.
"Your Highness Jiang Li…"
Ye Changge was somewhat in awe of Jiang Li and asked in a low voice, "Which sector are you in?"
"Sector 11."
As soon as Jiang Li said this, the others immediately looked relieved: "That's good. We still have a chance to take first place!"
After the registration deadline, the Virtual Universe Company quickly got to work. Despite the large number of participants and the vast area covered, it didn't take much time for the virtual universe network, which spanned the entire human race of the universe.
Soon.
The day of the Preliminary Elimination Round in Ganwu Universe Country arrived.
Besides the contestants, who were filled with all kinds of emotions, the major forces within the territory of Ganwu Universe Country also began to get busy.
"Each team, keep a close eye on the points ranking! The super geniuses at the top aren't our targets; focus on those ranked between one thousand and ten thousand!"
"Go, release the conditions for Cangfeng Tower to recruit elites!"
For all the various powers, the Cosmic Human Peak Genius Battle was undoubtedly their best opportunity to attract elites.
"Assemble!"
"The God Lord has high expectations for you all and hopes you won't disappoint!"
At the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land, Hagrave addressed a large group of royal descendants.
"You are the elites of our Ganwu Universe Country!"
"I hope that all of you can make it to the final battle!"
A majestic voice echoed through the heavens and earth. A giant, whose face was impossible to see, looked down upon countless young people.
He was the Ganwu Country Lord.
As he spoke.
Above the firmament, the boundless starry river rippled, and a universe-level Lord with a human body and a fox tail slowly stepped out from the ripples. Upon his appearance, a group of Undyings and Realm Lords below all bowed in unison, saying, "Greetings, Universe Lord."
"Minghu, what brings you to my Ganwu Universe Country?"
The Ganwu Country Lord's eyes flickered, and he asked curiously.
"I'm here for a drink."
"And to see if your Ganwu Universe Country will produce an unparalleled genius this year!"
Lord Minghu smiled charmingly, her voice like a heavenly melody, captivating everyone.
"Haha, it's rare for you to be in such a good mood, please…"
Ganwu Country Lord laughed heartily, waving his hand. The hundreds of millions of Star Level young people below instantly vanished. This spatial transformation, a shift of stars and reversal of space, was no less impressive than that of Jiang Li's teacher, Lord Wanshan.
