Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Virtual universe Ganwu continent, lava island.

Guyu Community covers an area of ​​tens of thousands square meters in a villa garden.

"Brother, you have just finished the meeting for the arena stage. What is the format for this year's talent stage?"

Li Qi sat on a wicker chair and asked his elder brother Eric: "Is the competition fierce? Is there any pressure?"

"Brother Eleven, don't worry."

Nineteen sat across from him, holding a bunch of fruits and smiling: "The competition in this year's Genius Battle Ganwu Universe Country is low in difficulty. Of the 100,000 contestants who passed the world preliminaries, a total of just over 400 people have realized a trace of the law. , among which there are dozens of top qualifiers in the world who will not compete for the remaining 900 qualifying places.

"The competition for the 900 qualifying spots in the arena competition is not very fierce, with more than 300 contestants who have understood a little bit of the rules. Compared to your time, Brother Eleven, the competition pressure is much smaller."

"Furthermore, the format of this talent battle arena is biased towards the strong, and the strong have a high chance of qualifying in the arena stage."

Having said this, Nineteenth said confidently: "Brother Eleven, just watch how we pass the group competition and enter the list of 1,000 people in Ganwu Universe Kingdom."

Li Qi warned: "It's good to be confident, but don't underestimate those opponents who have reached the arena stage. Maybe some of them are hiding their strength."

"With my strength, I will definitely be able to enter the Ganwu Universe Kingdom's 1,000-person roster through the group competition." Nineteen said indifferently: "I don't want to go to the reincarnation battle of the defeated, that competition system is too crazy!"

"Oh, the competition system is crazy?" Li Qi asked with interest: "What kind of crazy method?"

"Brother Eleven, there were only more than 9,000 contestants in your reincarnation battle of the losers, and in this session, as long as the contestants enter the arena stage, they will have to participate in the reincarnation of the losers after being eliminated. That is enough. There are more than 90,000 people!”

Nineteen shuddered and said: "There are more than 90,000 people, and each one has to fight with other contestants. This means that more than 90,000 people have to fight in the reincarnation battle stage, and they need to fight every day for 5 years. 50+ battles!”

"Five years...more than 50 battles every day." Hearing this, Li Qi frowned slightly, "Such a competition system is indeed crazy, and it is a great test of the spirit and will."

Crazy indeed!

For five consecutive years, there have been more than 50 focused battles every day, which has greatly tested the mental will of the contestants. If the mental will of the contestants is not strong enough, they may collapse during the reincarnation battle of the loser.

Notice.

In the last Pinnacle Genius Competition that Li Qi participated in, each contestant in the Reincarnation of the Losers competition had to engage in ten focused battles every day for three years. This was already the limit of the mental and will endurance of many contestants.

However, in this Genius Battle held at the Giant Ax Arena, each contestant will have to engage in a focused battle more than five times that of the previous one, and it will last two full years longer, which will further test the mental will of the contestants!

"It is indeed a giant axe-fighting arena where eccentric people gather. They are really domineering and arrogant. They don't care whether the contestants can withstand such a high-intensity battle."

Li Qi shook his head secretly, "It's no wonder that many strong men in the Giant Ax Arena have character flaws. Co-authorship is born out of the selection and training process."

After muttering to himself, he asked again: "What is the format of the arena competition?"

"The arena competition is much easier. 100,000 people will first compete in 5 rounds of one-on-one arena battles, with half of the contestants eliminated in each round."

Thirteen, standing aside, replied: "When there are 3125 contestants left, we will divide into groups of 5 for reincarnation battles within the group. The person with the most wins will enter the Ganwu Universe Kingdom's 1000-person roster, a total of 625 people."

Li Qi asked: "There are 625 people, so the remaining 275 places belong to the contestants with the best record in the loser's reincarnation battle?"

"Yes, the number of contestants selected for the arena competition and the loser's reincarnation battle is the same as the last one you participated in, Brother Eleven, but there have been some changes in the competition system."

Thirteen said: "Such a competition system is more beneficial to the strong."

Li Qi nodded upon hearing this, "This competition system is very beneficial to you, brother. With your strength, you only need to win 9 games in the arena stage to enter the 1,000-person roster of Ganwu Universe Kingdom."

Such a competition system is indeed more beneficial to the strongest among the contestants, especially the final reincarnation battle within the five-person group, where the strongest person is directly selected from among the five, eliminating contestants who enter the final round purely by luck.

"It is indeed very advantageous." The eldest brother Eric smiled and said: "With this competition system, it is certain that we will enter the Ganwu Universe Kingdom's 1,000-person roster."

"When you pass the arena competition and enter the list of 1,000 people in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, you will have 5 years to practice the secret method and comprehend the law during the reincarnation battle of the losers."

Li Qi smiled and said: "Maybe you will make some progress in these five years and be able to break into the top 1,000 in the universe."

"Haha, I thought so too." Eric smiled, his eyes full of confidence.

"Brother, he..."

Li Qi looked at his elder brother and felt that he was very confident about entering the top 1,000 in the universe.

"There is little hope of understanding a hint of the lower laws and entering the core level of the giant axe fighting arena..." Li Qi thought that his previous feeling was an illusion.

…

10 days later.

The peak talent battle, the opening day of the Ganwu Universe preliminaries.

Virtual universe, Ganwu Continent.

On the island No. 25218, the fighting arena was already crowded.

"Eleven, only Thirteen will fight today?" Father Drikul asked.

"Yes, only Thirteen will fight today, in Group 8817." Li Qi, who was sitting next to him, nodded and said, "Big brother's fight will be on the third day, and Nineteen will be on the fourth day."

In the first round of the ring competition, there were 100 fighting arenas fighting at the same time, and each fighting arena held 100 fights every day for 5 days.

"Then I will go back after watching Thirteen's fight." Mother Winnie said, "I have an appointment with my sisters to go shopping."

"Okay." Li Qi smiled and nodded.

After thousands of years of peaceful life, mother is not interested in fighting now.

She has not left Kuka Star for a long time, and only made some girlfriends in the virtual universe. These are good sisters she made in the virtual game after hiding her identity, not those who have intentions for her identity.

Father Derikul said, "Eleven, I'll watch it with you."

"Father, no need." Li Qi smiled and shook his head, "For the contestants of this peak talent competition, I only care about my eldest brother and his friends."

"That's right." Derikul heard this, thinking of his son's identity, and nodded slightly, saying, "I'll go back after watching Thirteen's duel."

Amid the cheers of countless spectators in the fighting arena, a crisp and pleasant female voice sounded, "Dear audience, the 8800th group of the ring battle is about to be held. Let me introduce the two contestants to you, from..."

After the introduction by the commentator, the two contestants entered the fighting arena from the passages on both sides, which immediately aroused cheers from the audience.

"Lu Lu!"

"Lu Lu!"

The audience who came to support the contestants from the same star domain cheered continuously after the contestants they supported entered the arena.

After the two contestants stepped onto the ring and the commentator announced the start of the duel, the two contestants, who were both warriors, instantly killed their opponents.

...

Sitting in the audience, Li Qi felt bored watching the two people fighting quickly on the ring.

It was because the two were too weak that they didn't even comprehend the law, and one of them was only at the seventh level of the talent domain.

Unlike Li Qi, his father, Derikul, who was already at the cosmic level, watched the game seriously and tried to gain experience from the battle.

Because he relied on resources to reach the cosmic level, Derikul's strength was very average, and with many treasures, he could only be considered above average in the cosmic level.     Although he had a heart to become a strong man, and wanted to rely on himself to become a domain master, or even a realm master.

But his mediocre talent made him stay at the ninth level of the cosmic level for hundreds of years, and he still didn't comprehend the domain.

The duel on the ring ended quickly, and the winner waved and applauded happily, enjoying the cheers of countless spectators, and left the ring after a long time.

The duels began and ended one after another.

About an hour later, it was finally Thirteen's turn to compete in the 8817th group.

"Gerry!"

"Gerry Royce!"

When the clear and pleasant female voice introduced Thirteen, cheers rang out from the audience, a small number of whom were from the Lava Star Region.

The reason why there were so many cheers was because the clear and pleasant female voice said when introducing...

"Gerry Royce, his brother is Li Qi Royce, who represented our Qianwu Universe in the last Peak Genius Battle and won the second place in the universe!"

Boom!

"He is Li Qi Royce's younger brother!"

"I didn't expect Li Qi Royce's younger brother to participate in this Peak Genius Battle."

"Li Qi Royce, that is a legendary existence who won the second place in the universe for our Qianwu Universe."

When the clear and pleasant female voice introduced like this, the whole fighting field was boiling, and countless audiences talked and cheered.

The introductions of the two contestants were completed.

When the contestant named ‘Harry’ entered the arena, he heard some cheers from the audience in the same star domain, but when he heard more audiences say that his opponent was actually the younger brother of the legendary figure Li Qi Royce, his face turned green!

“Damn, how unlucky am I! My opponent is actually the younger brother of Li Qi Royce, doesn’t that mean that the opponent is at least 4,000 years old?”

Harry just felt that he was too unlucky. The opponent he met in the first round of the ring battle was a very old player.

Although being old does not necessarily mean being strong, the opponent is the younger brother of a legendary figure. With such a powerful brother, his strength cannot be too bad.

In the passage opposite the ring.

Thirteen walked towards the ring step by step, and he had long been accustomed to the exclamations that sounded in his ears.

As the younger brother of a legendary figure, he often heard such voices, and people kept talking about the legendary experience of his eleventh brother in his ears.

Like winning the second place in the genius battle at the age of only a hundred years old, or winning glory for the Qianwu Universe Country, he had heard too many things.

When he was about to walk to the ring, Thirteen stopped and looked around, searching in the audience seats of the fighting arena.

When he saw Li Qi sitting with his parents, his eyes became determined, "Eleventh brother, just watch! I will stand among the strongest geniuses of Qianwu Universe Country and prove to the world that I, as your younger brother, am not a mediocre person!"

Mediocre!

This was the evaluation that some students and even mentors secretly gave to Thirteen when he entered the Star Training Camp.

It was because his brother, Li Qi, was very dazzling during the Star Training Camp.

When he first entered the Star Training Camp, Li Qi was a planetary-level genius, and he was also a second-level genius!

Afterwards, it took him less than five years to enter the Lava Secret Realm, and he became famous in the Peak Genius War period after less than a hundred years of cultivation, ranking second among the strongest geniuses in the universe.

As a younger brother, with such a dazzling older brother, Thirteen was under a lot of pressure.

More importantly, he entered the Star Training Camp full of "geniuses" with the name of the second-highest talent in the family, which made him even more stressed.

And this pressure was even greater after entering the Lava Secret Realm, because at that time Li Qi had been praised by countless immortals and was hailed as a genius of the demon level that appeared once in tens of millions of eras!

Thirteen stepped forward and walked towards the ring step by step, "Standing among the strongest geniuses of the Qianwu Universe, starting from winning this duel!"

Soon, Thirteen and his opponent Harry entered the ring.

"Gerry Royce vs. Harry, the duel is about to begin!"

"10!"

"9!"

...

"1!"

Boom!

Shrouded by the flame field, Thirteen held a large sword shining with red light, and attacked his opponent with endless killing intent in his eyes.

...

In the audience seats

Li Qi leaned back in his chair, watching Thirteen charging at his opponent, and thought to himself, "Thirteen won this round, his opponent is only at the eighth level of the realm..."

As he expected, Thirteen defeated his opponent in a crushing manner, and the latter barely resisted a few times before being defeated by an unstoppable downward slash.

Amid the cheers of countless spectators, Thirteen stood on the ring and turned his head to look at Li Qi's position.

Li Qi smiled, nodded slightly, and said silently with a slight movement of his lips: "It's a neat win, Thirteen."

...

After Thirteen got off to a good start and won the first round of the ring battle.

Big brother and Nineteen also easily won the first round of the ring battle in the following few days.

Afterwards.

In the second, third and even fourth rounds of the ring battle, the three of them won consecutive victories. They only needed to win the fifth round and the ring 5-person reincarnation battle to enter the 1,000-person list of the Qianwu Universe.

It was at this time that Nineteen dropped the chain!

...

Ring battle fifth round

"Too careless! Although the opponent is a contestant who has realized a trace of the law of the origin of earth, Nineteen is definitely stronger than him."

Li Qi sat in the spectator's seat with a trace of worry between his eyebrows, watching Nineteen on the ring being suppressed by the earth-yellow field and the heavy and continuous sword light.

"As a warrior who has realized a trace of the law of light and is very good at speed, Nineteen did not end the battle quickly, so that the ring is now shrunk and suppressed."

"The law of the origin of earth is already heavy, and it is the first in terms of field suppression power. It can better play the advantage of field suppression in a small space."

"This time, Nineteen lost!"

Li Qi sat in the audience and sighed: "I hope he can learn from the lesson and stand up again in the cruel and crazy loser reincarnation battle..." (End of this chapter)
