Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Solar System.

Somewhere in space, ripples suddenly and strangely appeared, followed by a spaceship out of nowhere.

The spaceship, silver-white all over, resembled a huge silver bullet, traversing the dark and silent universe.

“Di…

The defense system covering the entire solar system flashed a warning red light and then went silent, as if nothing had happened.

“Whew…

Inside the command room, Yang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip, lasting more than six months, selling the bodies of immortals and purchasing universe-level slaves, each goal was perfectly achieved.

Now, it can be declared that all obstacles to the peak genius battle have been completely cleared.

The Nolan Mountain family?

This behemoth, which caused great harm to Earth in the original story and stood in the way of the genius battle, is no longer a threat.

The offense and defense have switched!

Pacific Ocean, Sky Castle.

In the main building's third-floor reception hall, Yang Wu, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were gathered.

“Human Peak Genius Battle?”

“Billions of geniuses competing on the same stage?”

‘The Peak Genius Battle is a grand event for the human race, held every 5000 years, alternately by the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, covering all star-level geniuses from 1008 advanced universe countries.’

Inside the reception hall, Luo Feng and the others listened with excitement, a strong desire rising in their hearts.

According to the timeline, this Peak Genius Battle will be held in 5 years, in March 2066 of Earth calendar, by the Virtual Universe Company.

After the atmosphere was sufficiently built up, Yang Wu distributed detailed information about the Peak Genius Battle, purchased from the virtual universe, to each of them.

“The Genius Battle is our springboard!”

“It is crucial, concerning our future martial arts development and determining the fate of humanity on Earth.”

Yang Wu's tone gradually became serious. Throughout the entire human race, the Peak Genius Battle is an opportunity for geniuses from all small and medium forces, a chance to soar to the sky.

It is a relatively fair competition held on the same stage, thanks to the convenience of the virtual universe.

“Luo Feng, Yang Wu is right. The Genius Battle is a springboard for you, jumping from the bottom of the mountain to the middle.

“It directly saves countless time, entering the end point that others cannot reach in a lifetime.“

Babata, on Luo Feng's shoulder, also chimed in.

“Five years…

The time left for us is too short. Among our four brothers, only the third brother has broken through to the star level. Even the second brother only broke through to the ninth level of the planetary level less than a year ago.”

Hong frowned as he held the information in his hand. Lei Shen also fell silent.

“My accumulation is almost there, but I always feel there is still a trace of a gap before breaking through.”

Lei Shen thought about his situation and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Although he was very confident in himself, he also knew his weaknesses. Basically, all the geniuses competing with him were at the ninth level of the star level.

Although external conditions such as physical fitness and weapons are the same, the impact of controlling an unfamiliar body on combat effectiveness is still very large.

Only Luo Feng, who was sitting to the side, seemed to have remembered something. He turned to look at Yang Wu, only to see the other party nod slightly.

“During this time, Babata and I went to the universe to sell a body of an immortal at the Universe Star River Bank, selling it for a total of 800 Chaos Units.”

The others knew that Yang Wu had gone to the universe, but even Luo Feng didn't know that Yang Wu had gone to sell the body of an immortal.

“In that case, we are no longer short of money and no longer have to worry about resources.”

Lei Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this. Luo Feng and Hong were also shocked. They often frequented the virtual universe and had some understanding of the currency system in the universe.

800 Chaos Units is simply an unimaginable fortune.

‘Now, for us, don't worry about resources for the time being. The most important thing is to improve our strength at all costs.

‘Five years later, participate in the Peak Genius Battle!’

First, buy a few bloodline evolution agents to increase the speed of our physical evolution.

Although bloodline evolution agents are restricted commodities, with Hu Yanbo's five-star account, we can buy them from the Universe Star River Bank at a slight loss.

“Bloodline evolution agent?”

Luo Feng and the others were dumbfounded. Babata immediately supplemented their knowledge.

‘So, as long as we all inject this bloodline evolution agent, we can save a lot of time to improve other aspects.’

They weren't stupid and immediately understood Yang Wu's intentions.

“Yes, compared to the geniuses of the universe, our biggest disadvantage is that our cultivation time is too short.”

The comprehension of Yang Wu and the others was not weak, and they also had the backing of Yun Mo Star for secret techniques and inheritance, which was also an immortal force.

However, cultivation time was a huge disadvantage. Those geniuses who participated in the genius battle had often cultivated for decades or even hundreds of years.

The Earth four, however, had only cultivated for a little over fifty years at most, for Hong and Lei Shen, and even only a few years for Yang Wu and Luo Feng.

“During this time, you should cultivate secret techniques, comprehend laws, and comprehensively improve your combat power.”

The genius battle ultimately looks at combat power at the same level. Hong and Lei, you must seize the time to improve your domain cultivation, and then comprehend laws.

Merely having a domain is simply not enough in front of those geniuses who have crossed the threshold of laws.

In the original story, Hong and Lei Shen were defeated in the preliminary rounds and left in a hurry, missing this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step.

This time, I don't expect them to win any big rankings, as long as they rank in the top 1000 in the universe, they can enter the doomsday secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company. With their talent and comprehension, they should be able to create a new world.

“Also—”

‘During the genius battle, we should try not to log in on Earth, or even log in from the same planet.

Thinking of the special nature of Earth, Yang Wu suddenly changed the topic and his tone became serious.

“Third brother, do you mean there is a problem with Earth?”

Hong immediately asked, Luo Feng and Lei Shen also looked at Yang Wu and pricked up their ears.

“Yang Wu, I didn't pay attention before you said it. You, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen are all considered geniuses when placed alone in the universe, but now you are clustered together on Earth.”

Before Yang Wu could answer, Babata, sitting on Luo Feng's shoulder, couldn't help but say.

A planetary-level martial artist with a domain is already synonymous with genius, and even more so if a planetary-level crosses the threshold of laws, which is extremely rare in the 1008 advanced universe countries of humanity.

Now, these geniuses are popping up in clusters on one planet. The probability of this happening is less than one in trillions of trillions.

“There is definitely a problem with your Earth!”

Two hours later, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen left Yang Wu's Sky Castle with complex and heavy hearts.

After Babata's analysis, the situation on Earth was probably far more complicated than they had imagined.

Four geniuses appearing clustered together on a native planet. The secrets hidden within this will definitely attract the prying eyes of powerful forces in the universe.
