Xu Zong burst out with dozens of illusory bodies, instantly killing Quin’s video, which spread like crazy in the virtual universe network. He instantly became a well-known figure in many universes in the virtual universe. Many geniuses participating in the Genius Battle considered him a formidable opponent. At the same time, many realm masters and immortal-level powerhouses wanted to befriend him.

After all, Xu Zong’s comprehension of the upper-level laws with dozens of illusory bodies was enough to become the champion of the Genius Battle in previous years!

Such a genius, as long as he doesn’t fall, will definitely become a powerhouse among the immortals in the future!

On the other hand, Luo Feng didn’t have such a good time.

In the battle in Arena 00002, despite Luo Feng’s full efforts and displaying his full strength, he was ultimately defeated by Rong Jun, who burst out with two illusory bodies. Rong Jun cut off his head with a single blow, causing him to miss the victory group and enter the defeated group. He entered the reincarnation battle and competed with the remaining 9375 people for the last 275 spots.

Among these 9375 people, there were nearly a hundred law experts, including Quin, who was capable of ranking in the top five of the Qianwu Nation.

Fortunately, the reincarnation battle was based on points.

Each participant had to fight against the other 9374 people once. The winner would earn one point, while the loser would not earn any points. After all 9374 matches were completed, the top 275 ranked individuals would become representatives of the Qianwu Nation and join the previous 100 individuals and 625 others to participate in the peak final battle!

With the number of Qianwu Nation’s participants and their progress, each participant could only fight ten matches per day in the reincarnation battle, which would last for over two years!

And to wait for all 1008 universes to finish the reincarnation battle, it would take four years!

After the final battle on the stage, Luo Feng returned to the Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Although he felt a bit down, he had already anticipated his defeat this time, so he didn’t feel discouraged. On the contrary, he became even more determined to improve his strength within these four years!

“Luo Feng, take a look at this video!”

The little devil Baba Tata, standing on his shoulder, suddenly looked shocked and unfolded a screen in front of him.

The video was the battle between Xu Zong and Quin in Arena 00001. Luo Feng’s eyes widened when he saw Xu Zong burst out with dozens of illusory bodies.

“It’s amazing! Xu Zong is only 22 years old this year! He has only comprehended the upper-level laws for two or three years, and he has already reached the point of bursting out with dozens of illusory bodies. He’s not far from the Hundred Lines Flow. I really don’t know what kind of luck your Earth has to produce such a genius!” Baba Tata exclaimed on his shoulder.

Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel a sense of shock. Xiao Zong’s talent was terrifying. When he searched online, he found praises for Xu Zong everywhere. It seemed that in the eyes of many people, he was destined to be the number one in the Genius Battle.

Unconsciously, he had already returned to the Jiuxing Bay community.

Just as he returned to the villa, a black-robed emperor suddenly walked out from the villa.

“The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor?”

Seeing the black dragon embroidered on the black robe, Luo Feng was surprised and quickly bowed respectfully to the person.

“Haha, no need to be so polite!”

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor walked up to him and helped him up. His face was full of smiles, indicating that he was in a very good mood.

“You and your brother did well this time! According to the agreement, I have already given the entire Milky Way to Xu Zong and also gifted him an additional one trillion universe coins! As for you, Luo Feng, you did a good job too. I’m also giving you 500 billion universe coins. I hope you can work harder!”

Luo Feng naturally felt delighted. The money he earned in the Interstellar World was almost used up during the last Qianwu Auction. The Qianwu Auction was held once every three years, and he was worried about how to make money afterwards. Unexpectedly, a timely rain came at this time.

500 billion universe coins were equivalent to 0.5 Hunyuan, which was already a huge sum of money.

In general, a galaxy, such as the Milky Way, could only be sold for about one hundred billion to one trillion universe coins. This 0.5 Hunyuan was enough to buy an ordinary galaxy as a territory. Under normal circumstances, only realm masters would have such capital!

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor left happily.

Luo Feng entered the villa and saw Xu Zong and the others happily discussing something.

“Look, I made 2 Hunyuan in this wave!”

“Haha, I made over 1 Hunyuan!”

“You guys are no match for me. I made over a thousand Hunyuan in one go!”

“What are you talking about? Making Hunyuan?”

Luo Feng walked in and looked at the three of them eagerly.

Was there a good opportunity to make money?

“Little Third, you’re back? It’s about Little Fourth’s match!”

Lei Shen pointed at the screen in front of him, showing off his account balance with a figure in the tens of billions. He had a proud look on his face.

“Before the match started, Little Fourth asked us to find the odds and bet on him to win! You didn’t expect the odds for betting on Little Fourth to win to be so high, hahaha!”

Hong, who was beside him, also had a happy smile on his face.

Not to mention Xu Zong, who had a joyful expression on his face. He earned the most in this wave.

But this was only a one-time opportunity. Previously, no one knew Xu Zong’s true strength and thought that Quin was much stronger than him. Therefore, the majority of people bet on Quin to win. In the case of a big upset, they made a lot of money. But now that Xu Zong’s strength had been exposed, there was no such upset to bet on. Even if they bet on him to win again, at most, they would only earn one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, or even lower.

“You guys didn’t tell me about this opportunity to make money?”

Luo Feng immediately glared. You didn’t tell me about this easy way to make money?

“Well, you were busy with your match against Rong Jun, so we didn’t want to disturb you…”

Lei Shen awkwardly touched his nose and then transferred the small amount of Hunyuan in his account balance to Luo Feng.

Hong also transferred his small amount to Luo Feng, and Xu Zong directly transferred more than ten Hunyuan to him.

Luo Feng looked at the extra ten Hunyuan in his account and felt touched.

“I’ll gladly accept this money!”

Luo Feng was overjoyed. The feeling of being defeated by Rong Jun was instantly cured.”Is Xu Zong there?”

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from outside the villa.

“I am an envoy sent by the ruler of Qian Witch Country, bringing rewards.”

An envoy from the Qian Witch Country ruler!

And he brought rewards!

Xu Zong quickly stepped out of the villa and saw the envoy.

It wasn’t Kun Sha Luo, but an immortal being who looked similar to a human from Earth, with long hair flowing freely, a gentle demeanor, and dressed in a white robe. He seemed to have deliberately concealed all his aura, without a hint of pressure emanating from him.

“You must be Xu Zong. It’s rare to see such achievements at such a young age. I am here on the ruler’s orders to reward you. There are two rewards. The first is these ten thousand mixed yuan.”

With a flick of the immortal’s finger, a transfer record of a full ten thousand mixed yuan appeared directly in front of Xu Zong.

Xu Zong’s eyes widened. He was giving him ten thousand mixed yuan directly?

This was equivalent to the wealth of an average immortal powerhouse! Even when I deliberately suppressed my ranking in the elimination tournament and bet on the underdog, I only earned a little over a thousand mixed yuan!

“The second reward depends on your choice.”

The immortal smiled slightly and continued, “As per the ruler’s instructions, I can use my connections to help you purchase a Secret Technique!”

“Any Secret Technique is fine, but it can only reach the immortal level at most. If it’s a higher-level Secret Technique, I can buy the first few layers equivalent to the immortal level for you.”

“All the Secret Techniques I can buy for you are here. You need to think carefully about whether you want a Secret Technique that fits with the laws, a Warrior Secret Technique, or a Mind Teacher Secret Technique!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the immortal presented a list, then smiled at Xu Zong, clearly waiting for his answer.

Xu Zong’s eyes lit up.

Secret Techniques!

Buying Secret Techniques not only requires a lot of money but also the right connections!

Under normal circumstances, world rulers and immortal-level Secret Techniques are not sold to lower-level warriors. To purchase those powerful Secret Techniques, one must have world rulers or immortal-level powerhouses to help.

Xu Zong had many talents in comprehending the laws, and he also had the secret rune set given by Lord Luo. So he didn’t lack things to help him comprehend the laws, but he was very scarce in Secret Techniques. The most powerful Secret Techniques he had were the Ten Thousand Line Flow and Soul Blade Slash he got from Babata.

Luo Feng and the others exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. An immortal-level powerhouse helping to buy Secret Techniques?

Xu Zong pulled the list of Secret Techniques in front of him and began to examine it carefully.

There were many Secret Techniques on the list, conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands, all reaching the immortal level. There were Secret Techniques that fit with the laws of wind, the laws of time, even Warrior’s power release Secret Techniques, and Mind Teacher’s combat, soul control, defense, and other Secret Techniques.

Xu Zong fell into deep thought.

What Secret Technique did he need most now?

The Warrior’s power release Secret Technique was the first to be ruled out, as Sui Zero’s Hundred Styles of Sui Fire was enough. The Secret Technique that fits with the laws of wind could also be ruled out, as it was far inferior to the Secret Technique that fits with the laws of time. As for the Mind Teacher’s Secret Techniques, he didn’t really want to go too far down the path of a Mind Teacher, but soul defense Secret Techniques and enslavement Secret Techniques were necessities and couldn’t be ignored.

However, those Secret Techniques could all be purchased internally after joining the Virtual Universe Company, so at this stage, it would be best for him to buy a Secret Technique that could quickly enhance his combat power, in hopes of defeating Berlan in the final showdown!

Then he would choose a Secret Technique related to the laws of time!

Just as Xu Zong was about to speak.

Suddenly, a few lines of conversation popped up in the chat group in his mind, and Xu Zong’s movements stopped.

His thoughts turned in his mind, and his gaze swept over the Secret Techniques several more times.

“I want this Secret Technique!”

Xu Zong pointed directly at a certain Secret Technique.

“The Ten Thousand Heart Soul Control Secret Technique? Are you sure you want to choose this?”

The immortal envoy frowned slightly when he saw the Secret Technique Xu Zong pointed at.

Didn’t this kid realize that the ruler had him come to help him buy Secret Techniques to enhance his strength?

“I’m very sure!”

Xu Zong said very firmly.

“Are you sure you don’t want to choose anything else?”

The immortal envoy couldn’t help but ask again.

“No.”

Xu Zong shook his head very surely.

“Alright, then I’ll help you buy this Secret Technique.”

The immortal sighed, feeling a bit disappointed. How could this kid not see through the ruler’s painstaking efforts?
