Chapter 114

Martial Path Era, 2046, January 7th, Sunday.

According to the unified regulations of all major high schools, all graduating third-year students had half a day of rest.

Time arrived at seven o'clock in the evening.

In the top-floor office of the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion.

Yue Feng, wearing a martial arts uniform, leaned on his smart chair, looking at the data projected in front of him and sighed:

"The world is really becoming less and less peaceful; the offensive of the disaster beasts has become increasingly fierce since recent years."

"In the West, another country has been wiped out by disaster beasts, and the only three Eighth Realm martial artists remaining in the country all sacrificed themselves to cover the citizens."

"High-level martial artists are almost extinct, and the whole country is in ruins."

"The remaining people can only flee to neighboring countries to survive."

"Over the past few decades, the world has shrunk from 195 countries to only 86 countries remaining now, no, only 83 countries left."

"So we are the luckiest to be born in the Xia Guo, possessing the strongest martial arts strength on the entire Blue Star."

"Ordinary people don't have to be forcibly conscripted to step onto the battlefield and become cannon fodder."

"Students can still participate in the Genius Tournament without a care!"

Director Sun on the sofa smiled and said.

Yue Feng nodded and said: "There is half an hour left until the start; how many people in the country are participating now?"

Director Sun projected a green screen, and a large amount of data emerged.

"Currently, there are 1,548 people in the country who have advanced to the Bright Moon rank!"

Yue Feng shook his head and sighed: "This number is really not small, more than three hundred more than the previous session."

"Only this event can fish out all the geniuses."

"Some geniuses won't be willing to challenge the rankings without a little sweetness."

He looked at the data, and Lin Qi's appearance emerged in his mind; he was very curious about how many rounds Lin Qi could make it through.

……

7:50 PM

In the lobby of the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion, it was exceptionally lively at this time, with quite a few people gathered.

"Brother Qi!"

In the corner, Lu Xiang, Wu Feng, Qiu Siying, Guo Heng, and the other five saw Lin Qi and took the initiative to greet him.

"Is everyone ready?" Lin Qi asked.

"All ready; for this Genius Tournament, no matter what, we have to charge into the top 100." Jiang Tao was full of confidence.

Guo Heng also said confidently: "My goal is the top 64."

"What about you, Lin Qi?"

Lin Qi smiled and said: "Naturally, the higher the better."

He wouldn't say that his goal was the top 16 and to get the final reward.

"Tonight, the Genius Tournament will hold three rounds; two-thirds of the people will be eliminated, the competition is particularly fierce!" Guo Heng said.

"Just do your best, log in!" Lin Qi said.

Everyone nodded, Guo Heng was puzzled; in the past, he was the leader of the six-person small team.

But now Lin Qi seemed to have become the leader, which made him feel a bit complicated.

After the five people separated, they each entered their virtual pods and logged into the Red Realm.

At the same time, across the entire Xia Guo, more than 1,500 geniuses logged in one after another, making the entire Red Realm lively.

……

【Yang Jian, welcome to the Red Realm!】

When Lin Qi opened his eyes, he had already appeared in the Red Realm personal center.

【Yang Jian, since you are of the Bright Moon rank, will you participate in the Genius Tournament?】

Looking at the popped-up information, Lin Qi did not hesitate and clicked confirm directly.

【Yang Jian, you have successfully participated in the "Genius Tournament"】

【Tournament rules: 1. All participants, Qi-Blood value is unified to 10】

【2. During the battle, only by successfully killing the opponent can you advance.】

【……】

After taking a simple look at the rules, he understood; the competition rules were not much different from the usual Red Realm arena rules.

The only difference was that three rounds had to be held today.

Then he waited peacefully.

A few minutes later

【The Genius Tournament is about to begin!】

【Countdown 3, 2, 1……】

【Officially begin!】

The next instant, Lin Qi disappeared from where he was.

On the empty arena, accompanied by a loud noise, two red light pillars descended.

Two figures emerged from them.

Yu Jing held a silver great spear and walked out wearing a blue combat suit.

He thought to himself: "For this Genius Tournament, with my strength, I must kill my way into the top hundred."

"No one can stop me." "The opponent in the first round is usually relatively weak; it won't take me too long."

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth turned up.

So his gaze fell on his opponent: familiar black combat suit, black mask, black great spear.

His smile suddenly froze, his expression dull.

"Yang Jian?"

His face suddenly became gloomy, his heart panicked; what was going on?

How could he encounter Yang Jian in the first round; why was his luck so bad?

After a moment of panic, his gaze became determined, staring straight at "Yang Jian."

"I am no longer the Yu Jing of the past; during this time, my spear technique has improved greatly; I can win!"

【Nickname: Swift Eagle】

【Red Ranking: 258】

His face was strange; how did he match with Yu Jing again?

!

And it was in the first round.

It had to be said that the opponent's luck was indeed bad to the extreme.

【Genius Tournament first round preparing to begin!】

【Countdown 3, 2, 1……】

【Competition begin!!】

The emotionless voice of the smart system rang out in the air, and the battle officially began.

The atmosphere in the air instantly became murderous.

"Kill!!"

Yu Jing instantly erupted with momentum, like an eagle in the sky diving down to launch an attack.

Fierce momentum erupted from his body, his hands wielding the silver great spear.

The silver great spear stabbed out, the momentum magnificent, becoming fierce and domineering.

Lin Qi recognized it at a glance; this was the "Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique."

Yu Jing on the opposite side was exhilarated; his sudden change in spear technique would definitely catch Lin Qi off guard.

Lin Qi, however, had the corners of his mouth turned up, knowing that he was using the "Dripping Water Spear Technique" and wanted to use the "Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique" to restrain him.

How naive!

He saw him suddenly move, his figure shifting, and terrifying momentum erupted from his body.

Like a fierce tiger out of a cage hunting for food.

The black great spear in his hand was wielded, power erupted suddenly from his spine, and the power was continuously transmitted to his arms.

Power gathered in one place and erupted in an instant.

His whole body's power was unleashed, performing the "Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique."

Both sides approached in an extremely short time.

Yu Jing spread his arms, power running through his arms to wield the great spear, exerting force to lift the spear, pointing directly at Lin Qi.

"Die!"

Lin Qi wielded the great spear, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, slashing down heavily.

"Bang!!"

In the center of the arena, the two long spears, one up and one down, collided in the air, and the air instantly exploded.

The moment of collision, Yu Jing's face changed; he only felt a terrifying giant force transmitted through the long spear to his arms, instantly losing sensation.

His whole body also uncontrollably retreated backward.

Lin Qi's corners of his mouth turned up, his whole body exerting force, his major tendons withstanding the force; although everyone had a 10.0 Qi-Blood value.

But when the virtual pod scanned the human body, the power and speed were completely different.

He stepped forward, the black great spear in his hand wielded, pressing the attack.

Big slash, big collapse, big stab.

Thoroughly displaying the fierce and domineering nature of the "Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique."

"Bang bang bang!!"

Yu Jing struggled to resist; after two moves, cold light flickered before his eyes, the sharp spear tip tearing through the sky.

"Puff~"

The long spear instantly pierced his throat, splashing fresh blood.

"Bang!"

Yu Jing widened his eyes, his gaze looking at "Yang Jian" in front of him in disbelief.

"Just this?"

A hoarse voice came from the black mask on the opposite side; it was naked mockery.

"You……"

Yu Jing turned into nothingness and dissipated in the air.
