Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Yuxiang Mountain, primitive area.

"In the second round of the genius competition, Nineteen's strength is a bit difficult."

In the study room of the manor, Li Qi sat on the sofa, silently staring at the light screen in front of him.

On the light screen was a picture of Nineteen fighting with a mentalist. Under the control of the mentalist, a series of light arrows bombarded the fast-moving Nineteen.

"This is the last opponent in the second round of the group round-robin battle. As long as Nineteen can defeat this opponent, he can get the second place in the group and get the opportunity to compete with the top 100 contestants in the points ranking."

Li Qi whispered to himself, "Although Nineteen is good at speed, it is far from enough compared with the mental weapons."

"Fortunately, the area of ​​the ring is constantly shrinking. Only if he persists and remains undefeated, the situation can be reversed when the ring is reduced to a certain extent."

In the duel between warriors and mentalists, if they are of equal strength and separated by a distance, mentalists will have a certain advantage.

This is why the spiritualists had a higher status than warriors before the realm master. It was not only because of their scarcity, but also because they had more advantages in battle.

As Nineteen in the light curtain delayed and persisted, the ring shrank to a diameter of less than 300 meters. For a star-level ring of this size, it would take only a moment to reach the other side of the ring.

Seeing this, Li Qi smiled, "Nineteen won."

As he finished speaking, Nineteen, who was mainly dodging and blocking in the light curtain, seized the opportunity to kill in front of the opponent in an instant, and killed the spiritualist opponent with his two swords intertwined.

As a spiritualist, Li Qi commented after watching the duel: "After losing the distance advantage, it is difficult for spiritualists who mainly suppress to resist close combat with warriors who are also good at speed."

The spiritualist on the opposite side comprehended the law of the origin of wind, and the telekinetic weapon he used was mainly high-speed continuous attack, which was very strong in suppression.

However, the high-speed continuous attack suppression is strong, but the attack power is not strong, which is why Nineteen can persist and delay for so long.

"This spiritualist has gone astray. Without powerful offensive moves, how can he defeat an opponent who is also good at speed?"

Li Qi shook his head slightly and said, "Even if he didn't meet Nineteen, he would still be eliminated if he met an opponent who is good at defense."

The defeat of this spiritualist is somewhat similar to the battle that Nineteen lost in the Qianwu Universe National Preliminary. Both were unable to defeat the opponent in a short period of time, and then lost because the arena was reduced.

"Next, it depends on whether Nineteen can defeat the opponents ranked in the top 100 in points. If he wins, he will enter the third-ranked 'God's Secret Realm' of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. If he loses, he will enter the last-ranked 'Fighting Secret Realm'."

Li Qi looked at the light curtain and said to himself, "With my brother's strength, entering the 'God's Secret Realm' is inevitable. The only contestants who can pose a threat to my brother are the top 100 contestants in the points list, and these contestants will only compete with contestants ranked after 100 in this round."

Soon.

The second round of the Genius Battle ended, and the 200 contestants began to be randomly assigned to compete for the spot in the ‘God’s Secret Realm’.

On the light screen, the avatars of the 100 duels kept changing, and then the groups stopped one by one.

When he saw the avatar of Nineteen’s opponent, Li Qi shook his head helplessly, “Nineteen’s luck is too bad. It’s okay to meet an opponent ranked in the top 10 in points, but it’s still the type of opponent that restrains him the most.”

…

Genius Battle Space, Central Square.

Nineteen looked at the light screen in the sky, and finally stopped and confirmed the list of 100 duels, and sighed helplessly.

His opponent in this duel was Mo Li, who ranked 7th on the points list. He was a warrior who was very good at defense because he was aware of the origin law of space and the origin law of earth.

Thinking of this, Nineteen turned his head slightly to look at the cat man who was only a little over 1.6 meters tall but had a very burly figure.

At this moment, the cat man Mo Li also smiled at him, and his smile was relatively peaceful.

"My journey of the genius battle ends here."

Nineteen sighed in his heart: "It's a pity. I only need to win one more game to enter the 'God's Secret Realm', and I will be one step closer to completing the test assigned by the teacher."

In Nineteen's view, as long as he enters the 'God's Secret Realm', it should be no problem to enter the Hunxu Secret Realm in the next 500 years.

But what he didn't know was that the fierceness of the secret realm battle in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena was no less fierce than the competition in the Virtual Universe Company, and even because of the intertwined forces within the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, the competition was even more intense!

"From the grouping situation, it's no problem for big brother to enter the 'God's Secret Realm'."

Looking at the light curtain in the sky again, Nineteen thought to himself: "The opponent is Lucia, who ranks 479th on the points list, and a warrior who comprehends the law of the origin of wood."

After a while, the duel began.

The 200 contestants who have been divided into groups turned into white light and were teleported into the ring space, and the 100 people who entered the 'God's Secret Realm' will be decided on the ring.

…

"The gap is too big. Nineteen's understanding of the law of time is too weak. He was suppressed and had no temper at all."

In the study, Li Qi sighed while watching the battle in the light curtain: "This contestant named Mo Li is very strong. He has a great chance of winning the first place in this genius battle."

When he saw the fighting style of the cat man Mo Li in the light curtain, he remembered the famous Long Yun in the original book who defeated Luo Feng and entered the original secret realm as the second place in the genius battle.

"Nineteen is sure to lose. It depends on the performance of the eldest brother. I wonder if he can enter the 'Hunxu Secret Realm'."

Seeing that the 19th defeat in the light curtain was already decided, Li Qi turned to watch the duel of his eldest brother Eric.

Although the eldest brother Eric only comprehended the law of the origin of fire, his understanding was quite deep and he had stepped into the threshold of the law.

When facing an opponent who also only comprehended the law of the origin of wood, he showed amazing suppression. The law fluctuations appeared one after another when the great sword was swung. The attack power was so strong that the opponent could not resist it and had to dodge.

"The eldest brother won. The advantage of the law perception was too obvious, and the fighting style was also restrained to a certain extent."

Looking at the duel scene in the light curtain, Li Qi whispered: "His opponent is a woman. Although she comprehended the law of the origin of wood, she has a light and agile fighting style, and the speed is not very fast."

Fighting styles such as light and agile generally have a certain speed advantage, otherwise it is difficult to play the characteristics of lightness and agility. Once the speed is not dominant, the battle will inevitably fall behind.

The battle continued. As the ring continued to shrink, Lucia's space for dodge became smaller and smaller, and she was soon defeated by her eldest brother.

After seeing that his elder brother won the duel, Li Qi said softly: "We won this duel. I wonder how the next round of grouping will be. If the grouping is good, my elder brother will have a chance to enter the 'Hunxu Secret Realm'."

When the 100 groups of duels ended, the third round of the reincarnation competition system appeared.

"The current 100 people are divided into 5 groups, each with 20 people for reincarnation battles. The first place in each group will enter the finals, and the second place will enter the 'Hunxu Secret Realm'."

After watching the third round of the reincarnation competition system, Li Qi sighed: "If we follow the rules of the previous competition system, my elder brother's chance of entering the Hunxu Secret Realm will increase greatly, because my elder brother's strength should be ranked in the top 20 of this year's genius battle."

"But if it is divided into only 5 groups, it will be difficult for my elder brother to enter the 'Hunxu Secret Realm' with his strength."

Although the level of this year's genius battle is low, it is only relative to the genius of the previous session. If it is considered as the level of the genius battle in the past 10,000 sessions, this session is considered to be above the lower level, not bad enough to be at the bottom.

Entering the threshold of the lower origin law, you are eligible to compete for the second-ranked ‘Hunxu Secret Realm’ quota, but to actually enter the ‘Hunxu Secret Realm’ is another matter, which requires great luck.

Soon.

The screen on the light screen changed, and the text explaining the rules of the third round disappeared, replaced by the third round grouping screen.

After a moment, the 5 groups of 20 people were divided.

"Mo Li ranked 7th in the standings, and Yi Gu Kua ranked 9th."

When seeing the opponents in the group where his elder brother was, Li Qi sighed while staring at the light screen, "Both of them are qualified to compete for the first place, especially the former's strength, which is definitely ranked in the top three in this genius battle."

"Being assigned to the same group with these two, my elder brother can't compete for the quota of the 'Hunxu Secret Realm'."

Speaking of this, he thought to himself: "Although my elder brother and Nineteen failed to make further progress, they can enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, which means there is an opportunity to increase the talent of law perception..."

After seeing the grouping results, Li Qi didn't read on. After sending an email to his elder brother and Nineteen, he teleported to the villa in the Guyu community.     …

Villa rooftop.

"Thirteen, you are a little frustrated that you failed to enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena."

As soon as Li Qi came to the rooftop, he saw Thirteen sitting on a chair looking at the sky.

Thirteen heard this and stood up quickly and said, "Brother Eleven, you came back so soon, how about my brother and the others?"

"They are fine." Li Qi raised his hand and pressed it down gently, motioning Thirteen to sit down, "They all entered the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, Nineteen entered the 'Fighting Secret Realm' at the bottom of the ranking, and my brother entered the 'God's Secret Realm' ranked third."

"That's good." Thirteen nodded slightly and sat down, as if relieved.

"My brother and Nineteen entered the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena."

Li Qi sat on the chair opposite Thirteen and said softly, "But you were eliminated, and now you can only go to the Qianwu Secret Realm for training."

"Brother Eleven, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Thirteen bowed his head and apologized in a low voice, "I stole the gift given to you by Rong Xianhou and took over the body of the Explosive Beast. I thought that after entering the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, I would apologize to you, Brother Eleven..."

Li Qi was silent. He never cared about the Explosive Beast because he couldn't use it.

Even if the Blazing Giant Beast was not possessed, he would give it to Thirteen or Nineteen.

Considering that Nineteen's awakened gene energy is of light attribute, the Blazing Giant Beast will eventually be given to Thirteen, but he possessed the Blazing Giant Beast in advance.

"Thirteen, the Blazing Giant Beast is over."

After a moment of silence, Li Qi said: "I once said that the family will only supply you resources up to the universe level, and you have to solve the resources after the universe level by yourself."

"I..." Thirteen opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

Facing Brother Eleven, he was guilty and was not as relaxed as facing his eldest brother and Nineteen.

"What you need to consider now is the next plan in Qianwu Secret Realm."

Li Qi said softly: "You should know that although Qianwu Secret Realm is the best place for cultivating talents in Qianwu Universe, there is a chance to become an immortal god in Qianwu Secret Realm, but it is much worse than the core layer of the five giants."

"I know." Thirteen nodded firmly, "Eleventh Brother, I will practice well in Qianwu Secret Realm and work hard to become an immortal god."

"It's good that you know." Li Qi nodded slightly and advised: "Although you have a clone to save your life, don't be too careless in Qianwu Secret Realm. There is also a risk of falling in Qianwu Secret Realm."

Thirteen nodded slightly, "Brother Eleven, don't worry, you will come out of the secret realm of Ganwu alive."

Li Qi stood up and said with a smile: "Before the messenger from the Qianwu Secret Realm arrives, you can spend time with your parents."

"Yeah." Thirteen nodded again.

Afterwards, Li Qi teleported out of the villa and entered a special space to try to create the supporting secret method for the seventh-level telekinesis weapon 'Liying Shuttle', while waiting for emails from his eldest brother and Nineteenth.

…

Two days later.

Li Qi, who created a secret method in a special space, received an email from his eldest brother and Nineteenth, saying that they had come out of the genius battle space.

So, Li Qi teleported out of the special space and came to the villa in Guyu Community again.

Villa garden.

The eldest brother, Eric, Nineteen was talking in the garden pavilion.

"Brother, nineteen." Li Qi walked out of the villa and came to the garden and asked, "When will the giant axe fighting arena come to pick you up?"

"They said they would pick us up in four years." Nineteen replied.

"Yeah." Li Qi nodded slightly, sat on a chair nearby, and said, "Brother, Nineteen. You may not know that being trained at the core level of the Giant Ax Fighting Field, although there are a huge number of resources, you can still There is a lot of danger.”

"Dangerous?" Big Brother Eric asked, "Like the Stellar Training Camp?"

"Yes, it's like the training mission of the Star Training Camp." Li Qi nodded first, then shook his head slightly and said: "Not entirely, the danger is also assassination from alien races."

"Assassination by aliens?" Nineteen was surprised, "Are we qualified to be assassinated by aliens?"

"Yes." Li Qi replied: "Any genius who enters the core level of the five giants is the best genius of our human race. Naturally, he will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the alien race, a thorn in the flesh, and assassination is inevitable."

"The higher the talent, the more assassinations you encounter, and the more dangerous they are!"

Li Qi said in a deep voice: "So you must be careful. It's fine when you are being trained in the core secret realm of the Giant Ax Fighting Field. But you must be vigilant once you leave the core secret realm of the Giant Ax Fighting Field."

The eldest brother Eric said in a low voice: "Eleven, could it be that you..."

"I'm fine." Li Qi shook his head slightly, and then said seriously: "You must listen carefully to what I say next."

When the two heard this, they both nodded solemnly.

Li Qi smiled and said: "When I was being trained in the core secret realm of Virtual Universe Company, I once tasted a fine wine called Yunyan. It was produced in the Xueluo world and the taste was very delicious. You must try it if you have the opportunity."

After hearing the words, both of them nodded silently, keeping Li Qi's words firmly in their hearts.

"Before you go to the core secret realm of the Giant Ax Arena, you should spend more time with your parents. When you go there, your time will become very little."

Finally, Li Qi warned: "You must also remember that you must not be dazzled by opportunities. Opportunities are not easy to obtain!"

The two nodded and kept these words in their hearts.

"Okay, I have nothing to say next." Li Qi said softly: "You will understand other things clearly when you actually go to the core secret realm of the Giant Ax Battle Arena."

"The genius war is over, it's time for me to go back to practice."

Li Qi stood up and was about to leave when he added: "If anything happens in the future, you can send me an email to ask. I will reply to you as soon as possible, but it may take a long time to recover."

"Yeah." The two nodded.

"Brother, nineteen." Li Qi smiled and said, "I hope that next time we meet in reality, you will already be world masters or even immortal gods."

"Yes." The elder brother nodded.

"Don't worry, Brother Eleven." Nineteen smiled and said: "When we meet in reality, I will be the world leader at worst."

"Okay, I'll wait." Li Qi smiled and nodded, then disappeared into a white light.

…

Giant Ax Battle Arena, Shenshi Secret Manor.

"Why!!"

A man in white robes was roaring angrily. The study was reduced to ruins, and all the precious toys inside had been destroyed...
