The Fire Thief Chapter 65: Primitive Secret Realm
The next morning.
7,300 talents including Lin Yan and Luo Feng gathered in the central square, quietly waiting for the start of the ring showdown.
suddenly--
An invisible aura enveloped the entire central square, causing the 7,300 talented human elites present to involuntarily submit. Everyone looked up and saw a familiar figure appear in mid-air.
Even though this was a virtual universe network, it only contained his consciousness and did not even release his own pressure.
But just the nobility at the level of consciousness and the natural aura are enough to make their souls tremble.
He wore a green battle robe that looked ordinary but actually contained a mysterious aura. He had purple scales on his head and always had a faint smile on his face. However, when he glanced around, no one dared to look him in the eye.
"Your Excellency!"
1008 powerful immortals saluted respectfully in unison and at the same time.
This made the hearts of the 7,300 genius elites jump, and they followed suit and saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency!"
The Lord of the Universe!
Beyond immortal existence!
He has fully mastered the power of space or time under the higher laws, enough to be on par with the Lord of the Universe!
"The trial is over. First of all, congratulations to the 1st to 100th place trial-takers. You have obtained the qualification to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company! Now, if anyone is unwilling, please speak up. My Virtual Universe Company will never force anyone." The voice of the man in green robe and purple scales was ethereal, echoing in everyone's ears and mind.
silence!
No one spoke.
Now that things have come to this, who would say they don’t want to join?
That would be a reversal!
"Okay." The man in the cyan robe and purple scales nodded with satisfaction. "No. 101 to No. 7300, these 7200 trialists, based on your performance in the trial space, the virtual universe system has automatically arranged arena battles for you. Those who win three battles in a row will get a place, and the losers will be eliminated."
There are 7,200 people, half of them were eliminated after one battle, and after three consecutive battles, only 900 people were left.
When these words were spoken, many talented elites below became confused.
"Win three games in a row to get a spot? If two strong men meet, doesn't one have to be eliminated?" Luo Feng thought to himself. This situation happened when he was in Qianwu Universe Country, and he and Rong Jun met each other.
Luo Feng’s idea... is also the idea of many talented elites present.
"The arrangement of the virtual universe system is absolutely the best, no doubt about it!" The man in the cyan robe and purple scales said slowly, "Now, 7,200 trial participants, go and fight in the arena!"
"boom!"
The central square shook slightly, and 7,200 of the original group of genius elites were suddenly teleported away, leaving only 100 human elite geniuses.
"There are seats over there, you can watch the live broadcast there first."
The man in the green robe and purple scales pointed to the distance, and suddenly 100 large chairs and some tables appeared in a corner of the central square. There were drinks and food on the tables, and the man in the green robe and purple scales himself was sitting somewhere in the area of 1008 powerful immortals.
…
Lin Yan and others sat down. They were among the top 100 in the trial and did not need to be screened. They had already been confirmed to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.
3,600 huge screens appeared above the central square, and each screen was broadcasting a live battle that was about to begin.
soon!
On 3,600 screens, the battle started almost simultaneously! The battle for 900 spots in the ring officially began!
The winners advance and the losers are eliminated.
In a ring duel, life and death are decided in a flash, and basically a duel is relatively short.
One peerless genius after another falls!
In less than five minutes, 3,600 of them were eliminated.
After half an hour, rest and get ready to start the second round.
3,600 geniuses, half of them fell again, and the other half continued to move forward.
In another half hour, the third round will begin.
These 1,800 peerless geniuses are all extremely eager, and they are only one step away from the final victory... However, only one person in each arena can enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, and the other must be eliminated.
…
Among these 7,200 people, there are quite a few who are truly capable of competing with the 100 peerless geniuses watching.
But there is only one person who has the ability to break into the top 20.
That is the "Phantom Demon" Galesi from the Howling God tribe.
“I won.”
"There were three whole battles. In the first and second battles, the Phantom Demon Galesi stood there without moving, and his opponent fell down instantly. As for the third battle... although his opponent was hit by a soul attack the first time and barely held on, he still fell down the second time." Luo Feng sat next to Lin Yan, frowning slightly.
Three victories!
"This phantom demon is very scary." The savage youth said in a low voice.
Luo Feng stared at the screen: "Pure soul attack is generally not too scary, but if it is combined with 'illusion', it will be terrible. This illusion can make people fall into an illusion without knowing it. This kind of terrible illusionist... is the natural enemy of warriors!"
"Yeah." The savage Rong Jun nodded slightly.
Like Luo Feng, who has studied the two secret techniques of "Soul Seal" and "Tower of the Void", his control over telekinesis has reached a very high level, and his defense is also very strong. He has some confidence in resisting the phantom demon Galaxi.
But most of those warriors gathered their mental power and strengthened their will. Perhaps it was effective to resist the impact of mental power, but when facing illusions, many warriors fell into it.
Lin Yan was sitting next to them. Hearing their words and looking at the tall, thin man in black robe on the screen, he became interested. He wondered if this "illusion demon" could compete with him in terms of attainments in illusion.
His strongest point is naturally as a spiritual master, and he spends the most time on this. However, in other aspects, based on his solid foundation and extremely profound understanding of the laws, he is equally as good as others.
…
Brush! Brush! Brush! Brush! Brush! Brush! Brush!
Suddenly, 900 figures appeared in the central square. Most of these 900 human genius elites were excited. Yes, after three consecutive rounds of elimination, out of 7,200 people, 900 of them finally succeeded.
Take this step.
Being in the Universe Country and being in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company are completely different!
Lin Yan and 100 others stood up, walked over and gathered together. 1,000 talented elites gathered together, and these 1,000 people were the final candidates.
“Congratulations!”
The ethereal voice entered the minds of a thousand people, and the man in the green robe and scale armor appeared in front of them again.
"You are the 1,000 best people from the 1,008 universes in this year's genius competition. Our Virtual Universe Company will also do its best to train you. If anyone doesn't want to join the Virtual Universe Company, you can say so now."
Silence, no one said a word.
"very good."
"However, you should understand that competition is ever-present in the universe. Competition exists everywhere. You 1,000 people... cannot receive the same treatment and the same training resources. Even my Virtual Universe Company would not dare to waste precious resources like this." The man in the cyan robe and purple scales smiled and said, "I will make an announcement."
"Among the 1,000 of you, the 101st to 1,000th will receive a bonus of 10 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for contemplation, and can join the 'End of the World Secret Realm', the core of my virtual universe company."
"The 11th to 100th place winners will receive a bonus of 100 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for contemplation, and can join the core of our virtual universe company, the 'Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth'."
"The third to tenth place winners will receive a bonus of 1,000 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for contemplation, and can join the core of our virtual universe company, the 'Taichu Secret Realm'."
"The first and second place winners will receive a bonus of 10,000 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe for contemplation, and can join the 'Original Secret Realm', the core of our virtual universe company."
"Normally, the 'Original Secret Realm' only accepts one person per class, but your class is very good, so after discussion, the top management of the Virtual Universe Company has decided to grant you two places to enter the 'Original Secret Realm'."
silence.
Most of the 1,000 peerless geniuses were somewhat confused as to what the four secret realms of "End of the World Secret Realm", "Heaven and Earth Secret Realm", "Primordial Secret Realm" and "Original Secret Realm" meant, but everyone could hear...
Obviously, the "original secret realm" is the best place among them.
But, if there are two places...
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yan and Bo Lan.
The gap between them is so huge that there is no qualification or ability to compete at all.
At this time——
The man in the green robe and purple scales paused when he saw their reactions, and his eyes, like those of an ancient god king, stared at them.
"However, I don't need to tell you who will be the top two this time. I'm sure you all know."
The smile on the face of the man in the green battle robe and purple scales disappeared: "The performance of your class is the best in hundreds of thousands of epochs. Perhaps if some of you were in previous classes, you would be fully capable of competing for the first place and entering the original secret realm."
"But!"
"Here, you will learn your first lesson: opportunities will not always wait for you, but you need your strength to grasp, fight for, and snatch them."
“If you can’t grasp it, you need to admit your weakness and then work hard to make yourself stronger.”
Some of them looked thoughtful.
The competition in this top genius battle is cruel in itself. Countless geniuses from the 1008 universe countries have been eliminated round by round, and only now have the final 1000 people been selected.
Opportunities don't come to those who are not prepared enough.
"Of course, this is just the beginning."
The voice of the man in the cyan robe and purple scales was ethereal and far-reaching, echoing in everyone's mind: "After you enter the company, you will face more brutal challenges. Each one will threaten your life, but it will also bring you greater opportunities. Only those who forge ahead bravely are qualified to become strong."
“The capable are promoted, the mediocre are demoted.”
"Those you look up to now can also make them look up to you in the future. We never lack miracles, nor opportunities for promotion, because... we are the virtual universe company, the pillar of the human race, and the top force in the universe!"
The words were calm, but gave a different kind of shock to the many geniuses present.
We are never short of miracles.
because……
We are the Metaverse Company!
"The final battle will begin tomorrow to determine the final ranking." The man in the cyan robe and purple scales spoke gently, "The rules of the final battle have been sent to each of you. You should have a good rest today."
boom!
The man in the green robe and purple scales disappeared right after he finished speaking. Only then did the 1,008 powerful immortals start talking.
"The original secret realm actually absorbed two people this time!"
"It seems that the Virtual Universe Company also feels that the two little guys, 'Lin Yan' and 'Bo Lan', are both qualified to enter the Original Secret Realm. It would be a pity to return them to the Primordial Secret Realm."
“It’s really excellent.”
"The other little guys are not even qualified to compete."
"It doesn't matter, even if the Virtual Universe Company is generous and gives them three places, when others pass three levels of the Skybridge but you can't even pass one level, this kind of jealousy and unwillingness will devour your soul. The road to the top never allows for luck."
…
While the group of immortals were talking, Lin Yan and 1,000 others were looking down at the screens on their wrists, on which the rules of the decisive battle had been transmitted.
“The rules are as follows:
In the three rounds of elimination that just ended, 900 geniuses were decided. The virtual universe system selected the best 100 of the 900 who got the quota based on their performance in the trial space and the three rounds of elimination. They are Galesi, Carpenter, Lasha, Nex, Utvesk...
These one hundred people will fight one-on-one with the first one hundred people in the trial space who got the quota first, a total of 200 people!
The 100 victorious
Among the 100 winners, the best 20 will be selected based on the virtual universe system, and these 20 will fight one-on-one... and the top ten will be selected.
The top ten are eligible to enter the 'Taichu Secret Realm'.
The first and second place will be selected from the top ten and enter the 'original secret realm'.
A detailed battle list is attached. "
This rule is based on the selection of the virtual universe system. Only 100 people are selected from the 900 people. The other 800 people are not qualified for the next round of confrontation at all and all belong to the "Secret Realm of the End of the World".
"How can this be possible?"
"You won't even give us the qualification to fight?"
“That’s too much!”
"This, this is too much trust in the virtual universe system."
In the central square, these peerless geniuses who were excluded were furious. They were not even given a chance to display their strength!
"I am 100% sure that I can make it into the top 100, or even the top 20! Why, why can the virtual universe system exclude me directly? I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!" A young man who was more than five meters tall and had a vertical eye between his eyebrows had a ferocious face and shouted angrily.
“That’s not fair!”
"If we really fight, the loser will be eliminated. This is fair. Otherwise we won't accept it!" Immediately, more than a dozen young people from many cosmic countries shouted along.
"Shut up!"
"What are you doing?"
"Shut up!"
Many of the 1008 powerful immortals in the distance roared angrily, and at the same time, the terrifying pressure of consciousness spread out, directly pressing on the 800 people, causing the 800 young geniuses of various ethnic groups to turn pale, their bodies trembled slightly, their legs kept shaking, and they knelt on the ground one by one, unable to resist.
Boom…
1008 powerful immortals appeared in front of the group of geniuses, overlooking the group of people kneeling down.
“I don’t accept! I don’t accept!!!” Among the kneeling crowd, the three-eyed young man supported himself on the ground with his arms, his tendons twisted and bulging like earthworms, and he raised his head and roared.
"idiot!"
"Didn't he hear what the Venerable said earlier?"
Among the 1008 powerful immortals, the giant in the scaled armored robe gave the three young men a cold look.
At this time, a magnificent and ethereal voice sounded: "If you have any objections to the decisive battle rules of the virtual universe system, you can choose not to join our virtual universe company. Our virtual universe company will not force anyone to participate."
The sound echoed between heaven and earth, and it caused the faces of the 800 geniuses lying on the ground to change.
Their faces were full of disbelief. They all thought that they were chosen by heaven and that if they rebelled together, even the Virtual Universe Company would take their opinions seriously.
But I didn't expect this kind of answer.
It's just saying -
Come if you want to, get out if you don’t want to.
“How stupid!” Among the 1008 immortals, a powerful immortal with long black hair flying around looked at the 800 people kneeling and said indifferently, “The decision on the decisive battle rules made by the top management of the Virtual Universe Company, can you guys just change it? How self-righteous!”
"If it was that little fellow Lin Yan who made the suggestion, perhaps it would be taken seriously. Because he passed all seven trial towers, showing his strength and potential, and was already recognized as being able to enter the Primordial Secret Realm and is a member of the Primordial Secret Realm!"
An old man with silver scales all over his head and shrouded in a white robe looked at the kneeling geniuses and said, "As for you, you are at the outermost layer of the core layer, and you dare to say you don't obey?"
"The Virtual Universe Company holds a top genius battle every ten thousand years, and also holds a universe-level powerhouse battle! Genius? Who among the core members of the company is not a genius?"
…
1008 immortals, with indifferent expressions. Such farces often occur in the battle of geniuses, but why would the top level set such a rule?
It wouldn't take half a day to play a few more rounds.
Because these geniuses are indeed extremely gifted, but most of them are extremely arrogant and have bad tempers. If they don't polish off their arrogance on the road to the top, it will only cost them their lives.
This rule is to let them recognize themselves and forget their past glory. In the core layer of the virtual universe company, they are nothing special.
…
Lin Yan just watched this scene silently. Even if one enters the core layer of the virtual universe company, there is a huge difference in status. The natural law of survival of the fittest is never absent.
so……
You must never become a weak person.
Without looking at it any further, he turned and left. Tomorrow would be the end of the genius battle.
He was determined to obtain the original secret realm, but he had only taken the first step.
The road is long and difficult.
