Chapter 1667: Genius and Powerhouses

Wulin City is built in an extremely conspicuous location.

That place is a huge mountain, or rather a gigantic, extremely flat super-large boulder placed on the ground.

The stone mountain has a flat top, resembling a huge stone slab; in the central area an octagonal-shaped city, somewhat disorderly, like a beast's nest, has been established.

The city is over a hundred kilometers in size, its construction area so large it can be called a super-large city.

However, it is not yet fully completed; it lacks the protection of the prestigious golden seal, and the city's defensive magic array looks incomplete, probably only built in the past few days.

The Earth Alliance's massive numbers rush through the air, making a huge commotion; they have already been detected, and the Wulin City side has also gathered a large number of powerful beast tribe experts to respond, with the flat stone mountain's summit packed with dense beast civilization players.

Seeing that the opponent seems well-prepared, Kuang Feng estimates at a glance that the army numbers no less than 200 million; this battle is still winnable.

He then said to Xiao Feng: "Xiao Feng Great God, as just said, this time we need you to single-handedly charge in and destroy the teleportation array, cutting off their reinforcements, so we can go all out."

"No trouble, trivial matter." Xiao Feng replied.

With so many people coming this time, everyone wants to fight, so he still does not go all out as in the previous battle.

Otherwise, given the scale of the flat stone mountain, even if expanded outward by a thousand kilometers, he could cover an entire chaotic ice age by himself.

Merely charging to destroy the teleportation array is easy for him, with no pressure at all.

"Good, then we… let's begin the war!"

At this moment, Kuang Feng's fighting spirit is strong; Wuzhou City has suffered considerable damage, and as the side being beaten, nobody is happy.

He stepped forward to the front, raised his battle blade high, gene original energy amplified his voice, and shouted sternly: "Kill!"

Instantly, countless alliance players activated their combat forms.

Mech helmets descended, targeting scopes lit up.

Gene warriors' bodies burned with various colored powers, hovering as they released intense fighting spirit.

Gunslingers took out god-slaying weapons, loading ammunition.

Additionally, psychokinesis mages controlled numerous treasures, radiant and brilliant.

Moreover, individual mech engineer players summoned their own massive mechs, a hundred-meter-tall mechanical war god appearing out of thin air, exuding a chilling fighting spirit.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Take them down!"

Shouts of killing rose everywhere, countless figures surged forward.

In a war of this scale, there is no need for formations or tactics; it's a contest of pure strength.

If strength is sufficient, a wave can crush the enemy; if not, no matter how clever the schemes, they are useless.

Swish swish swish~

Figures shot out like lightning; the fastest were indeed the gene warriors.

"Beasts, die!"

With a stern shout, a gene warrior engulfed in flame-like light tore through the sky, wielding a battle blade that swept across ten thousand meters of space, leaving a long river of crimson blade aura.

As the blade aura passed, muffled sounds came from the beast tribe; in an instant, hundreds of players were instantly killed.

"How cool." Xiao Feng said in surprise.

Beside him, Chen Xiao Ba explained: "That's a renowned expert from our area, named Luo Lei; in reality he also possesses extraordinary power and good comprehension."

While the two were speaking, the front ranks of the hundred-million-strong army had already undergone a fierce collision.

Boom boom boom boom boom~

Countless big and small skills were released simultaneously; large-scale explosions devoured the entire sky.

Xiao Feng saw a psychokinesis mage stepping on something resembling a shield, with dozens of handle-less blades flashing out like lightning beside him, instantly taking the lives of many beast tribe players.

Chen Xiao Ba followed his gaze and saw this person, then introduced again: "His name is Hong Feng, also a legendary powerhouse, excellent."

Zhang Fan also noticed the person they were paying attention to, and sighed: "Throughout the universe there are genius experts everywhere; we, of the Cang Sheng tier, are actually ordinary compared to them, only our equipment is better, allowing us to be on par."

This statement is not wrong; many people actually have strong strength, but due to the overall environment of the war zone, they failed to obtain high-quality inheritance or talent early on, causing slower growth, and ultimately their displayed strength is far inferior to those with equal comprehension.

If they were given top-tier equipment and high-level secret arts, everything would be different.

He Yunshan, however, shook his head: "Genius is useless; only the strong are the backbone of the race and the masters of the universe. In every growth era, every epoch, even every ten thousand years, countless geniuses emerge. But those who can become controllers and achieve eternity are few and far between. Powerhouses of the Star Void Lord Realm are even rarer—only a handful can appear in an entire era."

Genius and strength are not a linked pair; genius does not necessarily mean strength, and strength does not necessarily require being a genius.

Some have excellent talent but refuse to work hard, self-indulge, and ultimately fade into obscurity.

Some have excellent talent and work very hard, but luck is against them; they drift through the sea of people year after year, eventually losing their edge and becoming ordinary.

Moreover, some geniuses are killed before they even rise.

Those who can become strong either have good innate talent and favorable opportunities, a suitable environment for growth, and they themselves are willing to work hard, enabling them to reach the peak after years of cultivation.

Also, some who originally had poor talent, through diligent hard work, experienced countless battles, and after a long period of tempering, ultimately transformed into the strongest.

These things are hard to define; genius and strength cannot be clarified in a simple sentence.

Upon hearing He Yunshan's words, Xiao Feng responded: "Although genius does not necessarily become the strongest, it is precisely because there are many geniuses and a large base that a few can stand out over time. You have good conditions; you can nurture these geniuses well, and perhaps in a few years an eternal powerhouse will appear."

"Haha, perhaps; back then I was merely somewhat outstanding, not especially outstanding. If not for my master selecting me, I would not be where I am today—let's go fight!" He Yunshan laughed, a broadsword appeared in his hand, and he flashed forward to attack.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao Ba also said: "I'm going into battle too, Xiao Feng; the teleportation array is yours."

"Hmm, no problem."

Xiao Feng watched the two join the fight, glanced at his friends beside him, and said: "Go ahead; since you came to help, then exert yourselves, and after the fight return home to cultivate."

"Hehe, sure!" Li Li laughed, rode on the Overlord Tortoise's back, raised his scepter, and charged out, appearing ready to engage in melee with the beast tribe players.

Everyone acted in turn, joining the battle.

Xiao Feng observed their practiced manner, knowing they were all battle-hardened and needed no worry from him.

Thus he said nothing more, left a clone in place, rode an Immortal Crane to remain stationary; his main body transformed into the source qi of all things, vanished instantly, passing through the battlefield like an intangible form, and directly appeared above Wulin City.
