Chapter 125

Let the Virtual Universe System select 100 people; among the remaining 800, naturally someone will be dissatisfied. Are they geniuses? In a situation where the difference is not big, naturally no one will be convinced by anyone else.

"Actually letting the Virtual Universe System select 100 people is too arbitrary."

"How can this be!"

"They won't even give us the qualification for the decisive battle!"

"I am 100% confident I can break into the top 100, even the top 20! Why am I being excluded outright? I refuse!!!" In the crowd, a youth over four meters tall, with a sturdy build, three eyes, and a ferocious complexion shouted sharply.

"Unfair!"

"This is unfair!"

Many people already felt unfair in their hearts, and with someone leading the rhythm, naturally they joined in the uproar.

"Why bother?" Hong whispered beside Xiao Yu.

"Big brother, they are all young geniuses, the top-tier geniuses in their respective universe states, extremely arrogant!" Xiao Yu laughed, "Now that I've arrived at the Virtual Universe Company, feeling unappreciated, naturally I hold a grudge!"

"Shut up." Many Immortals shouted angrily to try to stop it.

Suddenly a terrifying mental pressure spread out, directly pressing on those 799 people; each of them couldn't withstand it and fell to the ground.

"As I said before, those with objections can choose not to join the Virtual Universe Company; that's your freedom, and the Virtual Universe Company will not force you to join." A grand, ethereal voice sounded.

When the words fell, the mental pressure vanished at the same time, but the 799 people on the ground were left stunned.

"Little ones, remember, within your universe state you might be the top genius, but upon arriving at the Virtual Universe Company, only someone of Xiao Yu's caliber has any say. Inside the Virtual Universe Company, geniuses are countless and strong ones gather like clouds; you'd better keep a low profile. Especially defying the highest level's decision is a major taboo!" The old man with a head full of silver scales, wrapped in a white robe, gave a gentle warning.

Building 0825, first-floor lobby.

Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, Hong, and Rongjun sat in the lobby chatting; as for the other three, they had been eliminated and sent back to the Qianwu Continent.

"Old Four, you also need to work hard; inside the Virtual Universe Company, the status difference among the four great secret realms is huge. Like the core members of the Primordial Secret Realm, they have guard teams, whose captains are Immortals, and within the team there are ten Realm Lords and a hundred Domain Lords."

Luo Feng and Hong were both stunned by the Virtual Universe Company's methods.

"The Virtual Universe Company spends astronomical resources on each Primordial Secret Realm member; if converted to money, it would be an astronomical figure." Rongjun said, "In theory, even the status of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's emperor cannot compare to that of a Primordial Secret Realm member."

……

The next morning.

On Central Plaza, 1000 peerless geniuses gathered.

Today, the top 100, top 10, first place and second place will be selected through the arena battle.

First round.

On the central plaza, 100 huge arenas appeared, each with black silk netting around its edges and above, and at the same time Xiao Yu, Luo Feng and other 200 people were transmitted into the arenas.

The silver-white arena, about ten kilometers in radius, Xiao Yu and a thin youth with a completely black body and thick lips stood opposite each other in midair.

"Xiao Yu, hello, I am Menong from the Xiang'er Universe State." The thin youth spoke, "I know I am not your opponent, but I also hope to fully display myself in this battle. I have a secret technique, but it requires a long time to charge."

"Alright, you start! I'm waiting for you!" Xiao Yu smiled.

"Thanks!" The thin youth grinned, thrusting his spear forward; gusts of wind swirled around the spear, and some of the wind Fundamental Law gathered at the spear tip.

Xiao Yu glanced at the spear, and a piece of information appeared in his mind: Fifth-tier Force Weapon Illusory Shadow Spear, wind Fundamental Law system, increases spear speed in battle, and also contains a rotating artistic conception, increasing attack power and penetration.

The gale's might grew stronger and stronger.

Xiao Yu moved, and at extreme speed a hundred phantoms appeared on the arena, each just like Xiao Yu himself, mysterious and unfathomable, while the whole thunder was shrouded in an unfathomable fluctuation.

The thin youth turned pale with shock, "Xiao Yu, you didn't say we would wait for me to charge up and then have a fair fight?"

"I suddenly feel that's too troublesome; it's better to just settle you!" Xiao Yu appeared beside the thin youth, the crescent battle blade like it was slicing through space, cutting his whole body in half, even the second-tier Force Armor on his body and the eight shields that automatically appeared shattered into pieces.

Menong, defeated!

Xiao Yu, victorious!

Menong's strength is not bad; if he encountered others, he might still be able to fight a bit, but unfortunately he encountered Xiao Yu, the strength gap is too great, being instantly killed is normal.

Xiao Yu was also kind enough, letting him display some of his potential.

After winning the first battle, Xiao Yu entered the top 100, his prize rose to 100 Mixed Yuan Units, and he could enter the Virtual Universe Company's Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

……

"Xiao Yu!"

"Bo Lan!"

The man in green robes and purple scales began to announce the list of 20 people.

"Gu Siro!"

"Ai Chen!"

"Uka!"

"Yi Feng!"

"Jia Lai Xi!"

"Rong Jun!"

"Qianshui!"

"Luo Feng!"

……

"The twenty people selected by the Virtual Universe System are exactly the twenty I announced earlier." The green-robed, purple-scaled man smiled and said, "Please let these twenty people first rest and recover from the previous battle's consumption; after a while the next battle will begin. As for who your opponents are, you will find out when the battle starts!"

Half an hour later.

The entire central plaza trembled, and ten huge arenas gradually rose in the center of the plaza, also covered with a large amount of black silk threads.

At the same time, Xiao Yu and the other twenty people were instantly transmitted into these ten huge arenas.

Inside the arena.

Xiao Yu looked at the opposing phantom demon Jia Lai Xi standing on a black light wheel, and slightly frowned.

Facing such a strong opponent as Xiao Yu, the phantom demon Jia Lai Xi for the first time took out a Mind-force Weapon, with illusion and spiritual mind-force attacking simultaneously.

"Let me see how your illusion art works." Xiao Yu raised his blade, standing in the void without launching an attack first; otherwise the demon Huan Mo Jia Lai Xi would not have time to cast his mental illusion technique.

An invisible wave of void psychic force instantly reached Xiao Yu as the demon Huan Mo Jia Lai Xi activated the secret art "Confusing God". Xiao Yu felt a surge in his Sea of Knowledge; the void psychic force penetrated his Sea of Knowledge, attempting to invade the micro‑crystal that is the spiritual aggregation representing his soul.

The crystal began to vibrate automatically; five thousand times the Soul Strength, and it remained unmoved, scattering the invisible psychic force.

"What!" the demon Huan Mo Jia Lai Xi exclaimed in utter surprise.

"Ugh!"

The demon Huan Mo Jia Lai Xi stood in the void, suddenly bent at the waist and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"A demon's illusion is no more than this!" Xiao Yu smiled, his figure flickered, as fast as lightning; dozens of afterimages lingered in the void, and a single slash sent the black light wheel flying.

In an instant he arrived at the demon's side; a slash pierced straight into Huan Mo Jia Lai Xi's skull, the upper half exploded into powder, forming a red mist of blood, while occasional lightning crackled from the remaining half‑body that fell onto the arena.

On the square, a slender man in a black robe appeared, covering his head and saying, "Too terrifying!"

On one of the ten arenas, the white‑robed youth bearing the blood sword, who was the second victor, turned his head, slightly surprised, and looked toward the arena where Xiao Yu stood, "Xiao Yu!"
