Chapter 99

Qin Mu watched the Great Yan army's bloody battle from beginning to end...

and revealed a look of gratification.

Originally, he thought that in a short time, the Great Yan Kingdom would not be able to take down this Immortal Cultivation world.

After all...

immortal cultivators were far too powerful compared to those martial artists.

"After this battle, the remaining Great Yan army are all elites."

Qin Mu took a deep breath.

The effect of training the troops had been achieved.

These soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom had been tempered in both vision and courage.

With the continuous climbing of technology,

they could conquer even more powerful worlds in the future.

Subsequently,

he stepped into the void of the 80,000-kilometer-diameter Immortal Cultivation world.

He ignited his divine fire,

and began to extract the remaining origin of this world.

"Extract!"

Wisps of origin emerged from the earth and the void, surging into his palm.

And after losing its origin,

the space of the entire Immortal Cultivation world began to collapse, and the earth began to sink,

becoming fragmented.

"Collect!"

Then,

Qin Mu drove the divine fire,

and forcibly pulled the 80,000-kilometer-diameter broken earth into the technological universe,

throwing it into the endless space.

"Boom!"

As he finished all this,

the divine fire on the Thirty-Third Heaven rose up with a boom,

becoming even more vigorous.

The divine fire value rose again from 230,000 to 240,000!

From the Ancient God Void,

a golden light shone into the technological universe.

A ranking list was once again displayed before Qin Mu's eyes.

"The ranking on the Ancient Heaven's Pride Ranking has actually risen to 8695?"

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He remembered that he had only ascended the Heaven's Pride Ranking a few days ago.

At that time, he was only around 10,000th place.

"It seems that plundering worlds and devouring worlds is indeed the best way to increase strength."

Qin Mu sighed with emotion once again.

In just three days,

his divine fire value had surged by another chunk.

And this was still a broken civilization with only a trace of origin left.

"Three days have passed, it's time to start the second round of group matches."

Subsequently,

he exited the technological universe and returned to reality,

preparing to head to the Civilization Pavilion.

Civilization Pavilion.

At this time, the contestants from the hundred schools, as well as major media outlets, were gathered here.

After the first round of group matches,

The remaining 200 people would be further eliminated to 100 in the second round of matches.

Facing the cruel elimination mechanism,

everyone had their own joys and sorrows.

"Sigh, my opponent in this round is a bit strong; they actually evolved a Tenth-Order lifeform!"

"Don't talk about yourself. You probably don't know that even Zheng Yao was directly eliminated in the first round!"

"Zheng Yao? The Zheng Yao from last year's Civilization War? Eliminated in the first round? Could it be that she encountered a genius from the Ancient Heaven's Pride Ranking?"

"Hehe, she was eliminated by a Common civilization. Speaking of which, Group Nine is really full of hidden talents this time..."

"..."

People from the hundred schools were all discussing the situation of the second round of matches.

What they were particularly concerned about...

was the group match of Group Nine.

Especially after Zheng Yao was eliminated,

Qin Mu's reputation was gradually recognized by the various contestants of the hundred schools.

Originally,

they hadn't taken a Common civilization to heart at all.

But now...

even Zheng Yao had been eliminated by this Common civilization.

Many people even started placing bets, gambling on how many rounds this Common civilization could reach in the Civilization War, which was filled with Extraordinary civilizations.

"How many rounds? I think he's done for in the second round! The first round of group matches was purely luck; he found a way to counter the Soul civilization!"

"I actually think that giant black city is very strange; maybe it will create a miracle!"

"Miracle? Hehe, brother, you probably don't know, but his opponent this round is Wang Yue from Star Underworld University!"

"Wang Yue? One of the nine geniuses who ascended the Heaven's Pride Ranking in this hundred-school Civilization War?"

"Then this Common civilization is probably done for..."

"..."

Originally, quite a few people were optimistic about Qin Mu.

But after learning about Qin Mu's opponent,

more and more people started betting on Wang Yue to win.

After all, in their view,

Common civilization VS Black Tortoise civilization...

there was almost no possibility of the Black Tortoise civilization losing.

The ultimate defense of the Black Tortoise civilization could even withstand attacks of Twelfth-Order intensity.

And Qin Mu's giant black city...

at most could only cause huge damage to souls.

Jiangcheng University's observation room.

When Qin Mu arrived,

Chu Tiange and the other four were all looking at him with complex expressions.

Not for anything else,

but because...

Qin Mu's luck was simply too bad.

This second round of group matches would very likely be his last.

Chu Tiange sighed softly.

He stepped forward and said: "Qin Mu, don't have too much pressure later. This is a 'do your best' match; just do your best. I think you still have a chance to win."

Qin Mu: "..."

Facing everyone's "concern,"

he shrugged and didn't say anything.

Everyone thought the Black Tortoise civilization completely countered the technological civilization...

but a true technological civilization has no flaws.

In terms of attack...

a technological civilization can play all sorts of tricks.

It's just that the technological civilization is greatly underestimated by the people in this world.

And no one has tried to develop a deep-level technological civilization.

"This Black Tortoise civilization... is clearly being completely countered by the technological civilization."

Qin Mu shook his head helplessly.

Subsequently,

the second round of group matches began quickly.

Lin Ge went on stage first and easily took the match.

"Hehe, the luck was not bad; the opponent was a weakling who hadn't even evolved a Ninth-Order lifeform."

Then,

it was Li Mingyi's turn to go on stage, and he also ended the battle quickly.

The process was incredibly easy.

"This opponent also had no pressure; they must have spent too much strength in the previous bloody battle."

Finally,

Zhao Qiao went on stage,

directly summoning 100,000 elves and using a human-sea tactic to crush the opponent frantically.

He achieved victory in the match.

Thus,

the three people from Jiangcheng University all successfully advanced to the third round of group matches.

Then...

Chu Tiange looked at Qin Mu again,

and sighed again.

These two draws were actually not because his luck was bad.

The main thing was that Qin Mu was assigned to Group Nine.

In this "Group of Death," there were many freak-level opponents!

No matter how you draw...

it's hard to draw a weak opponent.

And Qin Mu's combat power was the strongest in Jiangcheng University.

If the draw had been a bit better, he would have had a chance to challenge the top eight or even the top four...

"Is it my turn?"

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and stood up slowly.

He looked quite relaxed,

walking directly into the battle room.

In the battle room.

Qin Mu stood on one side of the two-world crystal ball.

And on the other side,

a young man wearing the Star Underworld University team uniform bowed slightly: "Star Underworld University, Wang Yue."

Qin Mu nodded,

and also replied: "Jiangcheng University, Qin Mu."

Before the battle started, Wang Yue suddenly asked: "I'm very curious, why can the technological civilization you evolved cause such terrifying damage to souls?"

Originally, he wouldn't have paid attention to a Common civilization.

But...

Qin Mu had directly defeated Zheng Yao in the first round, forcing him to take it seriously.

Zheng Yao had taken third place in last year's Civilization War.

Her strength was formidable.

Although she hadn't successfully stepped into the Mid-level God stage this year, her true combat power was not inferior to his at all.

Therefore, upon learning that Zheng Yao had been eliminated,

he went to check the battle footage immediately.

Regarding the power of that giant black city...

he was very confused and puzzled.

A mechanical creation made purely of steel could actually exert such terrifying power!

Qin Mu saw that Wang Yue's attitude was not bad.

After thinking slightly,

he replied: "Just luck, it just happened to counter souls."

Wang Yue opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping.

Indeed.

In the footage, the technological civilization did indeed counter the soul civilization throughout the entire process.

"Could it be... that it's just civilization countering? Does the technological civilization just happen to counter the soul civilization?"

Wang Yue frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Between civilizations,

there has always been a countering relationship.

For example, a fire civilization is just countered by a water-system civilization.

A soul civilization counters many civilizations.

Between many civilizations, there are mutual generation and restriction relationships.

But the technological civilization countering the soul civilization...

had never been discovered by the world.

It was mainly because no technological civilization had taken the initiative to provoke a soul civilization.

"The match begins!"

Subsequently,

the referee, seeing that Wang Yue had not reached out to the two-world crystal ball for a long time, urged him.

Wang Yue then reached out his hand,

pressing it on the crystal ball.

"Boom!"

From his Black Tortoise world, a passage was opened out of thin air, beginning to spread forward.

It happened to join with the passage spreading from Qin Mu's technological universe,

constructing a huge battlefield with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers!

Wang Yue's figure immediately appeared on the two-world battlefield.

As soon as he reached out his hand,
