Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 254: Luo Feng's Goal, The Prelude to the Cycle of Battles!

Within a special palace in the virtual universe.

While many undying deities and Earth martial artists were engaged in a two-way selection process.

Lin Ye, however, met with his master, Venerable Fenchen, once again, alone.

The purpose was to inquire about methods to seize a Golden Horned Beast.

However, this time, Lin Ye was unsuccessful.

Because Venerable Fenchen did not teach him the method of seizing a Golden Horned Beast.

Instead, he shared a secret about the Starry Sky Behemoth with Lin Ye.

"That little Golden Horned Beast you planted the Soul Imprisonment Seal on doesn't need to be touched. I have the corpse of a juvenile Flame Star Behemoth here, originally prepared for you, but since you don't want to seize it, forget about it."

"Flame Star Behemoth?! What level is it!?"

Lin Ye looked at his master curiously, his face full of doubt.

"The corpse of a universe-level Flame Star Behemoth, which I killed countless years ago, was intended to cultivate for my disciple…"

During Venerable Fenchen's speech, countless thoughts surged in Lin Ye's mind.

"Now that I have subdued the Golden Horned Beast, should I compensate City Lord Luo with another Starry Sky Behemoth?"

As soon as this idea emerged, it grew wildly in Lin Ye's mind like weeds in the spring breeze.

"The second thing is, I would like to ask Master to collect special life genetic material below a hundred times the gene, I want to cultivate clones for the Earth martial artists…"

Speaking of this, Lin Ye lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

He really had too many requests for his teacher, so many that he felt embarrassed.

"This is a small matter, but in exchange, your Locke Divine Water will be mine!"

Venerable Fenchen looked at Lin Ye with a smile, looking like he wouldn't take a loss.

"No problem, leave all these matters to Master!"

Saying that, the young Venerable stretched out his right hand and made a fist.

Seeing this, Lin Ye also imitated his master's action, clenching his fist and bumping it heavily.

"It's a deal!"

"…"

Then, the master and disciple chatted for a while before separating.

…

Not long after Lin Ye separated from Venerable Fenchen.

An envoy 'Kunshaluo' from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom arrived at Lin Ye's villa on Black Dragon Mountain Island, announcing the matter about the Ganwu Secret Realm again.

However, compared to the original work, where Kunshaluo faced Luo Feng with extreme arrogance.

This time, when receiving Lin Ye's audience, he changed his past arrogance and lowered his posture to the lowest.

After all, he was ordered by the Ganwu Kingdom Lord, so he appeared extremely respectful and cautious.

The reason is simple.

Lin Ye and the Earth martial artists were repeatedly emphasized by the Ganwu Kingdom Lord.

He naturally didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

"Okay, an envoy has already come here and told me about it, but thank you anyway."

Facing Kunshaluo, Lin Ye still maintained an unyielding appearance.

"Okay, goodbye, Lord Lin Ye!"

After bowing deeply, Kunshaluo disappeared directly in place.

"This kid knows what's good for him, didn't show any arrogance towards the little master, otherwise, I would definitely make him look good."

Huo Rong waved his fist, which was the size of an iron pot, and said with a smile.

"Huo Rong, I know you're amazing, okay."

"Now, I'm going to chat with Luo Feng, go and call Babata over."

…

The arrival of a group of undying deities,

And conducted a two-way selection with many Earth martial artists.

During this process, many Earth martial artists chose these undying existences with considerable strength.

Even some martial artists who were not recognized as disciples by the undying ones left their contact information and were temporarily accepted as nominal disciples.

Everyone was happy!

…

Virtual Universe Network, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

On top of one of the highest mountain peaks, Lin Ye and Luo Feng came side by side.

The mountain breeze carried coolness on their faces, making people involuntarily close their eyes comfortably.

"Little Fengzi, what do you think about this selection conference of undying deities?"

Lin Ye turned his head slightly, looked at Luo Feng and asked: "Or what regrets or pity do you have!?"

"Regrets!? Pity!?"

Hearing his master's words, Luo Feng shook his head gently, his eyes like morning stars, looking at the endless chaos outside Black Dragon Mountain Island, word by word: "With Master's guidance, my goal is to become a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, how could I care about the apprenticeship of these mere undying ones."

"Unless it's the Ganwu Kingdom Lord arranging apprenticeships and the Ganwu Secret Realm… that would definitely move me, as for the others, I have no thoughts at all."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lin Ye quietly listened to Luo Feng's words, then laughed three times, and stood up.

"Having this ambition is worthy of being my disciple, Lin Ye!!"

After speaking, Lin Ye quietly approached Luo Feng's ear and whispered: "A few days ago, I asked my master for a secret method that can help you seize, and soon you can have a Starry Sky Behemoth clone."

"Really!?" Luo Feng exclaimed.

"Absolutely!" Lin Ye nodded with a smile, with a sincere expression.

"So the two of us must enter the top 1,000 of the Peak Genius Battle and obtain the conditions for the Virtual Universe Company to cultivate geniuses."

"At that time, whether it's the Initial Universe, countless secret realms, rare treasures, and the best teachers…" Lin Ye looked at Luo Feng and said the conditions one by one.

"The best teacher!? Is it a better teacher than Grandmaster!?"

Luo Feng asked, tilting his head, after hearing these words.

"The universe is vast, your grandmaster is not the strongest, there are many who are stronger than him."

Lin Ye nodded gently, his eyes burning with unprecedented flames.

He knew that among the peak powerhouses of the human race in the universe, although there were many existences stronger than Venerable Fenchen and the Ganwu Kingdom Lord, the number was not too large.

Except for the three top overlords and the eighteen universe masters, only a small portion of the other higher-level venerables could beat them.

"You only have one path now, enter the Virtual Universe Company and become a core member!"

Without knowing when, Chan'er sat next to Lin Ye, and a clear and cold temperament emanated invisibly.

"The amount of resources possessed by the five giants like the Virtual Universe Company, let alone you two little guys, even the little master's master can hardly imagine."

"If you can stand out from countless peak geniuses, countless rare resources will be spent to cultivate you… one by one, the future achievements will be limitless."

"…"

Luo Feng listened to all of this silently and nodded silently.

"However, with your current level, there is still a great chance to enter the top 1,000 of the universe geniuses… but you still need to train well to increase your certainty."

"…" Lin Ye blinked his eyes, looking at Chan'er with some disbelief.

"Little Master, don't look at me like that, I know you are a little skeptical of my words, but what you don't know is."

Speaking of this, Chan'er smiled lightly and continued: "There are really too many geniuses who want to enter the core of the virtual universe, so the competition naturally becomes extremely fierce! Only a thousand super geniuses are absorbed every 5,000 years!"

"And from countless years, how many super geniuses will the Virtual Universe Company absorb, that can be regarded as geniuses as clouds, if the strength is not enough, not only will there be no resources at all, but also will be trampled underfoot."

"What was my teacher's ranking in that session of the Universe Genius Battle?" As if thinking of something, Lin Ye then asked: "He can have such achievements, he must have been a very powerful genius back then!"

"That's for sure, your master was the first genius in that session of the Universe Genius Battle… even in the hundreds of genius battles before and after!"

"By the way, the Peak Genius Battle after your master's was the session where Venerable Nine Swords was born, despite this, he still overpowered the heroes and became the leader of countless genius powerhouses!"

Chan'er narrated the glorious history of her old master, Lin Ye and Luo Feng looked at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Too terrifying!

The first genius!

"Then Master… how was his strength back then?" Lin Ye asked unwillingly.

"Your master, let me think about it carefully first!"

Chan'er's eyebrows frowned slightly, making a thoughtful expression.

After a while.

Her eyebrows slowly stretched out and continued: "When your master participated in the Peak Genius Battle, the threshold of the fire origin law had already been crossed, and even the space origin law had a trace of insight."

"In the battle, your master constantly improved and became stronger, and finally in the finals, he accumulated a lot of power and successfully crossed the threshold of the space origin law, created his own flame secret method and space secret method, defeated his opponent in one fell swoop, and successfully reached the top!"

"…"

The entire mountain top suddenly fell into silence.

Whether it was Lin Ye or Luo Feng, they were silent.

Even Luo Feng, who boasted of being a genius, was somewhat ashamed of himself for a super genius who had crossed the threshold of all the fire and space universe origin laws.

Only Lin Ye's current strength can compete with it, but if you want to fight for the final top genius.

Lin Ye thought that it was impossible to do his best.

Because he, who has mastered the Blood Flame Divine Weapon, knows deeply how terrible it is to enter the space origin law.

A stellar-level martial artist who comprehends the space origin law and successfully crosses the threshold can directly fight against a universe-level ninth-order powerhouse and be invincible.

"Babata, pour some tea!!"

Lin Ye glanced at the little devil who was sitting cross-legged next to Luo Feng, and habitually used him.

"Yes, Lord Lin Ye!"

Facing Lin Ye's order, Babata did not show any displeasure on his face, but instead looked delighted.

Luo Feng didn't care about this at all.

Because he knew that Babata's mechanical body and mechanical heart were taken by Lin Ye's master from his grandmaster's hand.

The value… is probably equivalent to all of Huyyanbo's net worth.

Although Luo Feng later successfully joined the Yunmo Star under Babata's guidance and became Huyyanbo's disciple.

However, for Luo Feng himself, Huyyanbo can only be regarded as his second master.

He is always Lin Ye's eldest disciple, no matter how many disciples the latter accepts in the future, he is the eldest senior brother.

To this end, he looked at Babata with a smile and ordered: "Little devil, get me a cup of West Lake Longjing, the pre-Qingming one!"

"Yes!" Facing Luo Feng's carelessness, the little devil just glared at him fiercely, and then his hands kept moving, and a skillful tea-making technique was used.

"Little Fengzi, although your current strength is very strong, there is still a big gap between you and some super geniuses. It is extremely difficult to rush into the top 1,000 in the universe!"

"Your movement, telekinetic weapon control, combat mentality, experience, and will… can dominate in a star field, but now we are facing the entire universe kingdom, the peak geniuses of the entire universe."

"Not only you, but also can only come step by step, innovate from the secret methods of the predecessors, create your own secret methods, now is just the beginning."

Lin Ye said very seriously, Luo Feng looked awe-inspiring.

He listened to every word the former said and kept it in his heart.

"Master, I know!"

"Staying with a group of sheep for a long time, the strongest is only a sheep, but if you are with a group of strong people, even if you can't become the strongest, you can be very strong."

"So it's not enough to just enter the core of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom!!"

"Want to enter!"

"Just enter the Virtual Universe Company and become its core personnel!"

"So this time, I want to use this genius battle time that lasts for several years to improve myself!"

Luo Feng frowned tightly, and had already made a decision in his heart.

The Virtual Universe Company has only one chance to absorb core personnel every five thousand years.

So he must not miss this opportunity for a carp to leap over the dragon gate!!

The goal has been set!

The direction in Luo Feng's heart has become clearer.

Next, he just needs to fight and progress towards the goal!

…

At the same time, groups of melee matches in the arena are also in full swing.

Soon, five days passed in a flash.

All 1,000 arena matches ended, 90,000 genius martial artists were eliminated, leaving 10,000 people to compete for the 900 places.

Getting these places can represent the Ganwu Universe Kingdom and compete with the many top geniuses of other universe kingdoms.

Immediately afterwards, the 10,000 players who passed the arena match received the final notice from the organizer 'Virtual Universe Company' after a day of rest.

…

Earth time, evening of July 22, 2066.

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

In the large castle in the Mirror Lake Villa area, people were bustling.

"Little Fengzi, who are you fighting in the first game?"

"Yes, who you are fighting, we will go to investigate who's information!"

"This is 10,000 masters selected from 800 billion stellar-level geniuses, almost one in a billion, and they have to compete for the last 900 places, it's really cruel!"

Hong, Lei Shen and a group of martial artists were all talking about it.

"Everyone, keep quiet! Look at this battle list!" Lin Ye pressed his hands slightly, and the entire hall suddenly became quiet.

Next, a large screen appeared above everyone's heads.

As the light flickered, a dense list of names appeared on the large screen—

“This is the arena battle list for the 10,000 participants.”

“Luo Feng will first fight ‘Sai A Luo’. The victor continues forward, while the loser enters the ‘loser's bracket’… Ultimately, 625 victors will be selected, securing 625 of the 900 slots.”

“The remaining 275 slots will be filled from the 9375 losers. They will battle in pairs, with one point awarded for each victory. The 275 with the highest scores will then fill the remaining slots in the 900.”

“This is the second round of the Cycle Battle!”

“……”

“Dad, go for it! Strive to stand out from the victors!” Luo Hai yelled out in a strange voice.

“That's right, Xiaofeng, with your strength, you can definitely stand out!!”

“Yeah, don't let us down.”

“……”

Amidst the various opinions, Luo Feng remained silent, quietly looking at Lin Ye.

Waiting for his master to speak.

“No!”

“Luo Feng doesn't need to advance through the victor's bracket, but should enter the loser's Cycle Battle!!”

Lin Ye said, each word distinct and forceful.

“So, this nearly three-year Cycle Battle will also be a tempering for Luo Feng!”

“Only through a hundred refinements can one become steel!!”

“Right, my good disciple!?” Saying this, Lin Ye looked at Luo Feng, his tone solemn.

“Yes!”

“……”
