The Fire Thief Chapter 53: Undercurrent
“God…”
"It's Lin Yan who killed the Savage and won first place in the 88th World Region!"
"A super genius who can use the second level of the Ultimate Divine Weapon is truly terrifying."
"In the battle between Luo Feng and Rong Jun, he used the four phantom swords of the first stage of the Evolution of Divine Weapons. They were already extremely powerful. Although Rong Jun won, he was also seriously injured. How strong would a star-level genius who can use the second stage of the nine divine weapons be?"
"Only in this way can we defeat that crazy Savage!"
"This 'god' who showed his invincibility in the preliminaries seems to be making his first appearance after the preliminaries, right?"
"Um."
"The number one genius in Qianwu Universe!"
Lin Yan's appearance attracted the attention of many geniuses because of his outstanding performance in the preliminaries. Most of them learned about him after the game and watched the video of the battle between Lin Yan and Rong Jun.
It is undeniable that this is a person who makes it impossible for people to feel hostile towards him.
Especially after the Savage Rong Jun showed his strength without any blind spots or weaknesses in the ring match, they realized more clearly that—
What kind of monster is that person who made the savage take out the Earth-Splitting Knife and revealed that even his phantom body could not resist?
Now, he shows up!
…
"Lin Yan!"
The savage youth's eyes beneath his messy hair were like those of a god, with endless fighting spirit rising in them.
"Long time no see." Lin Yan nodded slightly.
Rong Jun grinned and laughed: "Haha, Lin Yan, I want to fight you again."
"I will definitely not lose to you this time!"
Lin Yan raised his eyes to look at him and said with a smile: "The genius battle has not . There will be a chance, but not now."
"But..." Lin Yan paused and said, "But by then, I hope you still have the courage to swing the knife at me."
Hearing this, Rong Jun's pupils shrank.
Hopefully I still have the courage to swing the knife at him?
What exactly does this sentence mean? Has this guy become much stronger?
Rong Jun set Lin Yan as his opponent in the killing zone, and it took him two whole years to finally achieve his first victory with great difficulty.
During these two years, he thought about the shortcomings of his swordsmanship day after day, and looked for Lin Yan's flaws day after day. To him, Lin Yan was an opponent who he must take very seriously and must be defeated.
His face was firm and he said solemnly: "I will."
"No matter what kind of opponent I face, my sword will never lose its sharpness, and I will never lose my courage!"
Lin Yan smiled and said softly: "I am looking forward to it."
At this time.
"Everyone! Enter the fighting arena!"
The organizers of the Virtual Universe Company shouted, and immediately 1,000 talented masters walked along the passage towards the fighting arena.
There are no spectators in the fighting arena today.
1000 peerless geniuses from various star fields of Qianwu Universe stood there, looking at a giant in front of them!
The giant was more than eight meters tall, and the savage Rong Jun looked like a little baby next to him. The giant was wearing a scaled armor and a helmet, and his whole body exuded a bloody aura. His eyes were like the gaze of the god of death... shrouding a group of geniuses.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
In this breathless waiting, cold sweat oozed from the foreheads of many geniuses.
“In the virtual universe, is a single consciousness so terrifying?” Luo Feng couldn’t control the tension in his body, and cold sweat naturally seeped out of his forehead.
Even Lin Yan felt the strong pressure of consciousness.
Hong might be the only one who performed better in the whole game, but he was not noticeable in the crowd, and the giant did not pay much attention to their condition.
"Congratulations!"
A cold voice echoed in the fighting arena: "You 1,000 people are the best among those selected by Qianwu Universe. You are all qualified to represent our Universe and compete with the geniuses of many other Universes!"
"But this peak showdown is much more difficult than your previous battles!"
"There are 1,008 cosmic nations, some of which are even more vast than our Qianwu Universe, with many more galaxies!"
"Because the situations in each universe country are different, the internal selection time is also different."
"so!"
"The ultimate showdown between the geniuses of the entire universe...will not really begin until a year and a half later. This one and a half years is your chance to improve yourselves!"
…
When the internal selection of Qianwu Universe Kingdom had just ended, the internal selection was still going on in another human universe kingdom, Huangman Universe Kingdom, which was extremely far away from Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
The Savage Universe Kingdom is an older universe kingdom than the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
Its strength ranks among the top five among the 1008 cosmic countries in the human territory. In this cosmic country, there are two very terrifying human races - the Manka people and the Wild God people. These two races are among the top ten in the human bloodline of the universe.
Even if you don't practice, you can easily become a powerful "domain master" after adulthood! This is why the Savage Universe Country is named so.
Manka Star.
Manka Planet, the home of the Manka people, is not in the starry sky, but has been transferred to a vast kingdom of God.
In an oval-shaped castle, guarding the door are cosmic-level warriors.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
The two realm masters smiled as they watched the young man casually sitting at the table and eating heartily. The young man had the traditional handsomeness of the Manka people, wearing a silver battle suit and black hair. He was eating heartily with his head down, muttering, "It's just a quota, it's not easy to get, what's there to congratulate."
The two realm masters looked at each other and smiled.
"Your Highness."
One of the Realm Lords smiled and said, "The internal selection of Qianwu Universe has ended. There are two people among them who need attention."
"Two?" The young Manka frowned. "Qianwu Universe has performed mediocrely in hundreds of genius competitions, right? How could there be two opponents worthy of attention in this competition?"
"Tell me about it."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to sweep the food off the table.
"Your Highness." The world master smiled and said, "There is an unparalleled genius from the Qianwu Universe, named Rong Jun. He has achieved great success in the origin of the law of earth and space, and has even been able to leave an illusory body in space."
"Phantom?" The young Manka star looked up suddenly.
"That's troublesome." He frowned. "He can leave a phantom in space, and he has also mastered the law of the origin of earth. With the combination of the two, his attack must be very fierce and unstoppable."
He is the most outstanding and talented young man of the young generation of the Manka people. He has been taught by many immortal beings on Manka since he was a child. He has a very broad vision and can simulate the opponent's approximate fighting style and strength in his mind after listening to a little bit of intelligence.
"Yes." The two realm masters nodded.
"What about the other one?" asked the young Manka.
"Your Highness, based on the intelligence we have collected and our judgment, this young man named 'Rong Jun' has the ability to challenge the top ten in the overall ranking." A realm master said, "But he once suffered a miserable defeat in the internal selection of Qianwu Universe."
"Oh?" The young Manka boy was puzzled.
A genius who had the potential to break into the top ten suffered a crushing defeat. How strong must the person who defeated him be?
The world master continued, "The person who defeated him is called 'Lin Yan'! He has made great achievements in the fundamental laws of 'light and time', and is also a spiritual master who can use the ultimate weapon to perform the second level of 'Swallowing Heaven Cone'!"
"He used this Heaven-Swallowing Cone during his battle with Rong Jun, but we can't be sure if he is still hiding his strength."
The Manka star glared and said, "Second level of the Ultimate Divine Weapon?"
"How perverted! It's possible to hide one's strength like this. This year's opponents are much stronger than previous ones! However, no matter how strong they are, the final result will not change!"
"They will all be swept away by me then, and the first place... will definitely be mine!"
Seeing that His Highness was so eager to fight, the two Realm Masters looked at each other and could not spoil the fun. They could only smile and say, "Then we will wait for His Highness to enter the 'Original Secret Realm'!"
…
In the vast universe.
At this time, many of the internal selections for geniuses in the 1008 cosmic countries were still ongoing, and many had been completed.
Each of the top geniuses in their respective universes is collecting intelligence on threatening opponents in other universes.
But Lin Yan didn't care about these things at this time. It was meaningless for him to collect information about the opponent. As long as he was strong enough, it was enough.
He continued to practice diligently.
There is only one and a half years left until the final showdown, and no one can relax. In this one and a half years... no matter if it is Rong Jun, Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, or the geniuses trained by the Qianwu royal family, they are all working desperately!
Rong Jun wants to become the strongest!
Luo Feng was unwilling to go for a fight and just went back home.
Hong and Lei Shen, they have not even stepped into the threshold of the origin law, and have no capital to compete with the geniuses of many cosmic countries, but they also do not want to leave any regrets in this genius battle.
As for the geniuses cultivated by the Qianwu royal family, they clearly had the best training conditions, but they were suppressed by Lin Yan, Rong Jun, and Luo Feng. They were also holding their breath and wanted to prove their abilities.
Time passes.
July 2069.
Lin Yan was originally contemplating the silver pupils of the Time Nightmare Beast, when he suddenly felt something in his heart, and the divine light in his eyes faded.
Looking again, there was uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
"Ha ha……"
Exactly seven years and two months passed.
His green-line insect-eating clone is finally about to be born!
