Chapter 637: Getting Rich

The Genius Tournament qualifiers have begun, attracting the gaze of countless people. As for the preliminary rounds of the Ganwu Yuzhou Guodu, there are eighty-two world sectors, and across the entire Ganwu Yuzhou Guodu, over eight hundred billion people are participating in the Genius Tournament.

This number, compared to the total population of the Human Race in the Ganwu Universe, is certainly a drop in the ocean.

Even among Star Level individuals, the number of the Human Race is thousands or tens of thousands of times greater; it is just that most people have self-awareness.

Those who can participate in the Genius Tournament can all be called geniuses; some are city geniuses, some are planet geniuses, and others are top-tier geniuses of a galaxy or an Empire.

Over eight hundred billion people are participating in this feast, yet the first preliminary round only selects one hundred thousand.

The probability of one in several hundred thousand is truly too low.

However, having participated, everyone wants to achieve a good ranking; some are confident in charging to the forefront, while others only care about their ranking reaching that of their hometown.

Everyone's goal may be inconsistent, but in this virtual world, everyone ultimately wants to climb as high as possible.

A single world sector, flooded with over eight billion people, is quite crowded.

The Genius Tournament cannot be broadcast; it can only be watched in real-time. Su Fan and his group flew to World Sector Number One, boarded a Universe Spaceship, and stood above the sky, looking down.

Through virtual exterior view technology, they can look down from a bird's-eye view, or zoom in—zooming in until they can clearly see the pores of every contestant.

The battles below are extremely intense and also quite bloody.

Of course, because they are in a virtual world, there is no fear of death, making them appear even more valiant.

It is a pity that due to the disparity in strength between them, many people are defeated in a single move upon going up.

"Palace Master, the few people you asked us to bet on currently don't have very good rankings; only that person named Lei Shen has now reached the one-hundred-thousandth rank."

"Do you really believe they can reach the top one hundred thousand and successfully pass this first hurdle?"

"Rest assured! Believe in them."

"Let the bullets fly for a while."

Su Fan said with a smile. He set his sights on Luo Feng and indeed discovered that this guy was practicing slowly; even when he encountered people, he only used experimental attacks.

Killing people is naturally very slow.

However, there are thirty days, which is enough for him to accumulate.

Regarding this, Su Fan is very confident; currently, Su Fan's strength, placed in this World Sector Number One, is simply invincible.

In the entire Ganwu Yuzhou Guodu, there is also almost no existence that can rival him.

Su Fan only observed for a while before losing interest in Luo Feng; after all, he knows the strength of Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen.

Moreover, in this lifetime, it seems that apart from Luo Feng's world sector still being number one, Hong and Lei Shen have both changed.

Hong has become sixth, while Lei Shen has become ninety-ninth.

If Lei Shen had not met that savage, he might have been able to become one of the top one thousand in the Ganwu Yuzhou Guodu, which would have been even more terrifying.

It is just unknown whether he can cross that threshold in this lifetime.

So Su Fan began to search and arrived at World Sector Ninety-Nine, where he discovered Lei Shen. At this moment, Lei Shen seemed to have transformed into lightning, surrounded by streaks of electric snakes, and his entire body flickered, seemingly producing hazy phantoms.

With a movement of his figure, he took away a Martial Artist beside him.

In a mere instant, the people surrounding him vanished in a large swath.

"Damn it! This guy is playing the pig to eat the tiger with us!"

Someone exclaimed, but the next second, they felt a pain in their neck and instantly plunged into darkness.

A few breaths later, they woke up again, having returned to their true form, with a complex expression appearing on their face.

However, everyone is just like him.

In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of people surrounding Lei Shen also rapidly perished, and at this moment, Lei Shen's ranking was rising crazily, already within the top ten thousand in a flash.

And this ranking is still climbing upward.

Lei Shen's climbing ranking also quickly attracted some attention, especially from the people of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

After all, a ranking of several thousand is an excellent result for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire; if it rises a bit more to reach within one thousand, then their Black Dragon Mountain Empire will become famous.

Especially those second-generation heirs of the Empire's high-ranking officials, who sit together with other high-ranking heirs from other countries and always compare themselves.

What they are comparing right now is which country's people can enter the top one thousand of the Ganwu Yuzhou Guodu.

The entire Ganwu Yuzhou Guodu possesses over a thousand medium-sized universe countries; in the past, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had not a single one advance.

Therefore, the royal disciples of some surrounding countries all mocked the second-generation heirs from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

And as it happens, at this moment, these second-generation heirs can only be red with anger and hold it in.

Time is slowly dissipating, and those powerful geniuses have begun to rise rapidly in ranking; as for those weaklings, they can naturally only sigh.

"As expected, I didn't find that savage; so in this lifetime, Lei Shen has a chance to reach the top one thousand ranking."

Su Fan searched the entire World Sector Ninety-Nine and still did not find the other party, realizing that Lei Shen is not just stable, but at least has a great chance.

His arrival in this lifetime has had little impact on the universe, but it has had quite a bit of influence on Hong and the others.

The improvement in the strength of Hong and Lei Shen is much greater than in the original timeline; after all, some of the martial arts concepts and secret techniques Su Fan brought are very suitable for Hong and the others.

The Inheritance of Yunmo Planet is indeed very strong, but much of it is not suitable for Hong and the others; not only are higher-level secret techniques harder to practice, but the key is that they are too profound for them to execute.

Secondly, the Inheritance of Yunmo Planet is, after all, primarily focused on Spirit Readers.

Hong and Lei Shen are Martial Artists, so in the original timeline, although Hong and Lei Shen improved significantly, when facing the geniuses of the entire universe, Hong only barely managed to reach the eight or nine-hundredth rank.

Of course, a large reason for this is that Hong and the others have been practicing for too short a time; Hong's age is not even one hundred years old.

Compared to many Martial Artists in this universe who have practiced for hundreds or thousands of years, their foundation is much worse.

In a thousand years, even a pig could become a pig demon.

This is also the shortcoming of Luo Feng and the others.

But Luo Feng's heaven-defying talent allowed him to stand out, and coupled with the Golden Horned Beast, it allowed him to cross over to the level of a top-tier genius.

After all, the talent of a Starry Sky Giant Beast like the Golden Horned Beast is very formidable even in the universe.

Starry Sky Giant Beasts are not much worse than the several major forces of the universe; their numbers are extremely rare, and they all rely on powerful individual strength.

Therefore, their talent is so powerful that it is truly rare; Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast, so his talent is naturally superior.

To be able to comprehend the origin laws of metal makes one a genius among geniuses.

Hong and Lei Shen are somewhat different; in this lifetime, they can pass the preliminaries, but as for whether they can pass the Arena Tournament and ultimately become representatives of Ganwu Country to participate in the final Universe Peak Battle, that will depend on themselves.
