“You’re amazing, Little Fourth, I didn’t expect you to defeat even the wild people!”
The Thunder God walked over with a happy face and congratulated him.
“It’s not that impressive. Rong Jun probably didn’t use his full strength.”
Xu Zong remained calm and unchanged.
“This isn’t his full strength?”
The Thunder God was startled, and his mood became heavy.
Xu Zong nodded, indicating that he was not lying.
He had known Rong Jun’s strength a long time ago, but Rong Jun didn’t know his strength, so he didn’t use his full power from the beginning. By the time Xu Zong displayed his nine illusions, Rong Jun was already too late to react.
Of course, even if Rong Jun used his true strength, Xu Zong wouldn’t lose.
He had mastered the Time Law three years ago and the Space Law in just eight months. Within these three years, he continuously comprehended the two superior laws to a deep level.
He had no problem dealing with Rong Jun, but he wasn’t very confident about Boran, the final opponent.
Boran’s comprehension of the laws was truly extraordinary!
But it didn’t matter, there was still time.
The Genius Battle would last for five years!
During these five years, he still had a lot of room for growth!
“What’s your ranking?”
The Thunder God asked Xu Zong again.
“Second.”
Xu Zong glanced at the screen and replied.
“Only second? But you killed a wild person!”
The Thunder God was speechless.
He checked the ranking of the world district and his eyes widened. The first place had a score of over 170 million, which was 20 million higher than Xu Zong’s score! Xu Zong probably had to kill another person in the top 30 to become first.
“It’s normal.”
Xu Zong didn’t think it was a big deal.
The higher the skill level, the more they would seek to fight against other experts. Defeating a high-level expert would earn them half of their points, causing their own points to skyrocket. This led to a larger gap in rankings the higher up they were.
For example, the points of those around 100th place were just over 10 million, while those around 50th place had over 30 million points. Those around 10th place had over 70 million points, and the gap between the top three was even larger!
Although Xu Zong was killing ruthlessly as a spiritual mind teacher, the points he obtained from those weak people were not high. The total points he obtained from them were not even close to Rong Jun’s.
Of course, with his strength, it was very easy for him to take first place. However, he didn’t actually want to be first. Looking at the second place displayed on the screen, Xu Zong secretly praised it as the most ideal ranking in his heart.
After all, the upcoming arena battles were a great opportunity to make money! He had something he really wanted to buy, and it required a large amount of money.
“What’s your ranking?”
“I’m ranked 2983rd.”
“You still have a long way to go.”
“No problem, I’ll keep killing!”
The Thunder God’s expression became serious, as if he was holding his breath.
The two continued to roam in the mountains and soon encountered a high-level expert at the sixth level of the domain.
“Should we change opponents?”
“Just this one!”
The Thunder God shook his head and rejected Xu Zong’s suggestion, then rushed towards the person.
Xu Zong understood that the Thunder God must have been stimulated by his fight with the wild person earlier. Both he and the wild person were capable of killing him in one move, which must have been a great stimulation for him.
Although his domain was one level weaker than the opponent’s, the Thunder God’s skills were obviously stronger. Under his reckless fighting style, the Thunder God managed to cut off the opponent’s head by sacrificing his own arm.
After defeating the opponent, the Thunder God stood still without moving, and his domain underwent some changes, becoming more perfect.
Xu Zong raised his eyebrows and guarded the surroundings.
After a full hour, the Thunder God finally came back to his senses, filled with joy.
He had broken through to the sixth level of the domain!
“Haha, Little Fourth, thank you. If it weren’t for you protecting me, I wouldn’t dare to fight against someone at the sixth level of the domain!”
The Thunder God laughed loudly, unable to hide his smile.
“Don’t be too happy, what’s your ranking?”
“2598th.”
“It’s the 25th day now, there are still five days left.”
Xu Zong also smiled and felt happy for the Thunder God.
“The sixth level of the domain has a good chance of advancing!”
“Keep killing!”
The Thunder God was full of enthusiasm.
With Xu Zong by his side, the Thunder God didn’t have to worry about being killed. So he desperately sought out high-level experts at the fifth and sixth levels of the domain, slowly but steadily advancing towards the front.
At the end of the 26th day, the Thunder God’s ranking reached 1998th.
At the end of the 27th day, the Thunder God’s ranking reached 1688th.
At the end of the 28th day, the Thunder God was ranked 1483rd.
At the end of the 29th day, the Thunder God was ranked 1328th.
The 30th day.
This was already the last day of the elimination round, and the Thunder God was only about two hundred places away from advancing.
“Just a little more, I can do it!”The Thunder God almost went crazy, frantically looking for someone to fight.
He was only two hundred away from the top, and he could definitely make more effort to break into the top 1001!
“Why don’t you kill me?”
Xu Zong couldn’t help but say when he saw this.
He was already second anyway. Even if he died, half of his points would be enough to rank in the top ten. The Thunder God’s points could still increase even if he died. In the end, he would definitely make it through.
“No need!”
But the Thunder God firmly refused.
“Xiao Si, I know you mean well. It’s not that I have a high self-esteem, but even if I make it through, I will definitely be eliminated in the subsequent arena matches. In that case, it’s enough to rely on myself to fight!”
Although he was excited about killing, the Thunder God remained clear-headed.
He cared more about his own progress than the so-called rankings!
Instead of getting false points and rankings, he hoped to break through himself in battles with more skilled opponents. Since he was destined to be eliminated in the subsequent arena matches, he might as well fight more here!
On this morning, countless people who had already accumulated enough points and were hiding came out. On the last day, everyone became crazy. Many people’s points were surpassed, so they had to come out and continue hunting.
“Alright, come and kill me!”
The Thunder God laughed wildly and fought with those who were on the verge of elimination.
Most of them had the strength of the sixth realm. With Xu Zong’s protection, the Thunder God killed several opponents with similar strength.
The Thunder God became even more crazy, and his ranking went from over 1200 to over 1100, and then to over 1000. He was only a little away from making it through.
As time approached the end, the arm screen displayed a countdown of one hour.
The Thunder God’s ranking reached 1042.
When there were ten minutes left in the countdown.
Participant: Thunder God (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
Points: 869,527
Ranking: 1000th
Seeing his ranking enter the top 1001, the Thunder God was overjoyed.
But immediately after, his ranking suddenly dropped back to 1001.
The Thunder God’s expression changed, and he didn’t dare to be careless. He found another opponent with the strength of the sixth realm to fight.
When the one-minute countdown began, 60, 59, 58… 3, 2, 1, 0!
At the moment the countdown reached zero, all the remaining participants in the 100 worlds had their vision blurred, and the familiar plants and cities disappeared.
When they opened their eyes again, they had returned to the continent where the competition began.
A month ago, there were 82.25 billion people here, crowding the continent.
A month later, there were only 100,100 people left, and the entire continent became incredibly spacious. Everyone looked at each other, feeling like they had traveled through time.
Among them were those who survived until the end, like Luo Feng, Hong, and those who had already died, like Rong Jun and Alkaiser.
Xu Zong looked around and saw the Thunder God in a daze not far away, secretly admiring him.
At the end of the ten-minute countdown, the Thunder God made a desperate move. Using a tactic of mutual destruction, he charged towards the opponent. He beheaded the opponent, but was also pierced through the chest by the opponent’s spear.
However, the opponent whose head was cut off died on the spot, while the Thunder God, who was pierced through the chest, struggled for a while and held on until the last second.
I wonder if that person will regret switching to swordsmanship?
“Congratulations to all 100,100 of you. You have successfully advanced from the elimination round and obtained the qualification to participate in the arena finals!”
A loud voice echoed from the sky above the continent, exactly the same as a month ago.
“Among you, the person ranked first in each world zone will not need to participate in the arena matches and will directly become one of the final 1000. The remaining 100,000 people will compete in two rounds of arena matches to determine the remaining 900. These 1000 people will be the representatives of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the ultimate peak battle!”
“You have one month of rest time to adjust your mental state or practice diligently. One month later, Virtual Universe Company will send you an email to notify the start of the arena matches. Please pay attention at all times!”
After this speech, everyone’s vision blurred again.
Three seconds later, Xu Zong opened his eyes and found himself back in the sky above Black Dragon Mountain Island, the same location where he logged into the virtual universe a month ago.
“Hong Boss, Third Brother!”
Beside him were Hong and Luo Feng, as well as the Thunder God shouting loudly.
“I didn’t expect the four of us brothers to pass the elimination round together!”
“It’s all thanks to Fourth Brother!”
The four of them gathered together again, and Hong and Luo Feng were pleasantly surprised to see that even the weakest Thunder God had successfully passed the elimination round. It was truly a pleasant surprise.
The Thunder God was also full of emotion. If it weren’t for Xu Zong’s protection, he would not have been able to pass the elimination round.
Hong and Luo Feng also praised Xu Zong.
In the end, Hong ranked 982nd in the 72nd world zone.
Luo Feng ranked 51st in the first world zone.In the 88th World District, the Thunder God ranked 976th, while Xu Zong from the same district ranked second!
After a month of continuous fighting, everyone was somewhat exhausted. After replying to some emails from friends and family, they left the virtual universe.
Back in the castle, just as Xu Zong was about to get some sleep, Suo Ling suddenly sent a notification.
“Thunder God has transferred two hundred million cosmic coins to you, with a message: ‘Little Fourth, your expenses in the elimination round, your second brother has got it all covered!’”
Xu Zong slapped his forehead, recalling that he had previously bought some information from an informant.
He accepted the transfer from Thunder God, then found the informant according to his memory. After confirming his identity, he transferred the two hundred million cosmic coins to him.
