“Alkesa, how did you do?”
“I was eliminated in the third tower, fifth level. What about you, Quin?”
“I was also eliminated in the fourth tower, fifth level.”
Quin and Alkesa gathered together, discussing with each other.
Alkesa’s ranking was around ten thousand, and he was destined to miss the second round of the arena battle. However, he didn’t feel disappointed as he never thought he could break into the top one thousand in the first place, so he remained calm.
On the other hand, Quin’s ranking was around five thousand, seemingly having made it into the top 7,300. However, he felt heavy-hearted because there were still thousands of people being assessed, and he didn’t know how many of them could make it into the top 7,300. Most of those who could survive until now were experts, and if another two thousand people could break into the top 7,300, he would undoubtedly be squeezed out of the rankings.
Originally, based on his understanding of the battle of geniuses, his strength should have been able to break into the top three thousand at least. However, the quality of this year’s battle of geniuses seemed to be much higher than previous ones.
Now, all they could do was to do their best and leave it to fate.
“This, this, is this real?”
“It’s unbelievable!”
At this moment, the immortals sitting around the square suddenly burst into exclamations, attracting the attention of the geniuses who had already been eliminated from the square.
“What happened to those immortals?”
Alkesa also looked towards the immortals. All of them had the same screen playing in front of them, and when they saw the battle footage on the screen, his eyes widened.
“This, Xu Zong actually… can unleash hundreds of illusions!”
Yes, the person in the screen was not Bolan, but Xu Zong, who was considered to be the second strongest. All the immortal powerhouses didn’t pay attention to Bolan, but instead focused on Xu Zong’s progress!
In the screen, Xu Zong unleashed hundreds of illusions, and countless gray-white vortexes emerged from all directions, like endless black holes, distorting and tearing apart the surrounding blood-haired mammoths.
In just one move, countless blood-haired mammoths became souls under the gun!
Xu Zong didn’t hesitate, all hundreds of illusions exerted their full power, easily killing all the blood-haired mammoths on the first level of the fifth tower, and teleporting to the second level.
This was not a battle, but a massacre, a one-sided massacre!
And the speed of this slaughter was even more terrifying than Bolan’s!
“Hundreds of illusions! He can actually unleash hundreds of illusions?”
“His comprehension of the laws has reached this level?”
“To be able to cultivate both time and space at the stellar stage, this kid is truly… beyond words!”
The immortals were either excited or amazed, and some were even stunned.
They had already seen Xu Zong’s performance in the competition in the Qianwu Universe. They originally thought that his comprehension of the laws was only at the level of dozens of illusions, but they didn’t expect that he was far beyond that!
If it was only at the level of dozens of illusions, even with the cultivation of time and space, the depth of the two major superior laws, it might not necessarily win against Bolan, who could unleash hundreds or even thousands of illusions.
But if his comprehension of the laws had reached the level of being able to unleash hundreds of illusions, and he also had the corresponding time and space secret technique, then the result would be different!
Hundreds of illusions were generally the depth of comprehension of the superior laws of the realm masters.
This Xu Zong, his depth of comprehension of the laws was comparable to many realm masters. They were all from the Hundred Lines Flow, and he was not much weaker than Bolan!
Many immortals were amazed by Xu Zong’s outbreak, and they no longer had the demeanor of immortals, becoming like ordinary people.
Especially the Thirteen, the giant with scales, became even more excited.
“Could it be that the first place in this battle of geniuses will fall to my Qianwu Universe?”
In comparison, Rong Jun’s performance seemed mediocre, and Luo Feng, who was still slowly advancing in the second tower, couldn’t attract his attention at all.
Among the many geniuses on the square, they looked at each other in astonishment.
“It seems that the first place in this battle of geniuses is still unknown…”
In the trial space.
Xu Zong quickly killed all the nine-headed pythons on the second level of the fifth tower, and took a look at the points on his wrist screen.
First place: Bolan (Noah Universe), points: 577,770,000
Second place: Xu Zong (Qianwu Universe), points: 277,770,000
Third place: Gusiluo (Im Universe), points: 57,770,000
“Judging from the points, Bolan should have passed the fifth level of the fifth tower.”
Xu Zong calculated in his mind and nodded silently.
If he scored the highest in all four towers, he would be able to get 77,770,000 points. The highest score for each level of the fifth tower was one hundred million.
Based on this calculation, the gap between the top three was already quite large. Bolan had already reached the sixth level of the fifth tower, Xu Zong had just arrived at the third level of the fifth tower, and Gusiluo, who was in third place, was still wandering in the sixth level of the fourth tower.
Bolan had already erupted early, unleashing hundreds of illusions to rampage, which allowed him to lead an entire tower ahead of Gusiluo. Although Xu Zong didn’t unleash illusions, his killing speed was even faster than Gusiluo’s when he used the time and space secret technique.
And once he unleashed hundreds of illusions, Xu Zong’s killing speed would surpass Bolan’s!
After entering the third level, Xu Zong didn’t hesitate and once again sent out hundreds of illusions, engulfing numerous Tuo Luo warriors in countless vortexes.
One more level!
Bolan was still in the sixth level at this time.
Xu Zong entered the fourth level, where the strange fierce beast was not his match. He cleared the level again and entered the fifth level.
At this time, Bolan’s points suddenly increased by one hundred million, indicating that he had entered the seventh level!
In the trial space of the fifth tower, seventh level.
Bolan unleashed hundreds of illusions and directly destroyed the nest of the insect race’s mother nest with a single sword, preventing it from giving birth to insect warriors. The mother queen looked at Bolan with a pitiful and resentful gaze.
However, Bolan completely ignored her, his expression still indifferent. He casually glanced at the screen on his wrist and couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.Xu Zong, who was second, had somehow managed to break through to the fifth level?
He was only two levels behind him.
The two of them had already left the third, Gu Si Luo, far behind.
However, Berlan found it strange. According to the information he had obtained beforehand, Xu Zong was the only decent one in this genius battle. But he was just decent, his understanding of the laws was only enough to manifest dozens of illusions, far inferior to himself. How did he manage to get so close?
Suddenly, Berlan’s eyelids twitched violently.
On the leaderboard, Xu Zong had gained another hundred million points, reaching 577,770,000 points!
“He’s entered the sixth level!”
Berlan’s heart tightened instantly.
With a swing of his sword, countless blue currents surged, killing the charming insect queen with a single strike and teleporting directly to the first level of the sixth tower.
In these seven trial towers, each level had the same type of monsters. For example, the first level was all Bloodfur Mammoths, the second level was all Nine-headed Pythons, and the seventh level was all Insect Queen Nests. Although the difficulty of each subsequent tower was much higher than the previous one, for Berlan, who was far superior in strength, killing either the Bloodfur Mammoths or the Insect Queen was a matter of a single move. Therefore, relatively speaking, killing the Bloodfur Mammoths took more time, while killing the Insect Queen was a matter of an instant.
On the sixth level of the fifth tower, Xu Zong glanced at the screen and deduced from the points that Berlan must have passed the seventh level and entered the sixth trial tower.
Before him was a desolate wasteland, on which lay or walked dark golden behemoths. These were the Cang, one of the cosmic beasts, each over 300 meters long. Each one would be a formidable monster in the Ultraman world.
Ten cosmic beasts, Cang, saw Xu Zong suddenly appear and all looked over. Their triangular eyes flashed with a cold, bloodthirsty light, and they immediately surrounded Xu Zong from all directions.
Facing the ten monsters that were hundreds of meters long, Xu Zong remained calm. Hundreds of illusions surged out, causing the cosmic beasts to widen their eyes in surprise, looking around in confusion.
Grey-white vortexes surged from the spears of those illusions. The vortexes, though only as thick as a water tank, exploded with astonishing suction, accurately bombarding the heads of the ten cosmic beasts!
Several cosmic beasts had their heads blown up on the spot, and the remaining ones immediately fled in all directions. Xu Zong didn’t stop, he chased after them and gave each one a spear.
He passed the sixth level and entered the seventh!
It was an endless desert, and on the green land in the distance was a sphere over 120 meters in diameter, its surface pitted and flowing with purple venom, emitting a poisonous gas that made even ninth-order stellar powerhouses shiver.
That was the Insect Queen’s Nest. As soon as Xu Zong appeared here, green insects suddenly surged out of the pits on the surface of the nest. They had two antennae on their heads, compound eyes occupying half of their faces, and their bodies covered in shells were full of murky mucus. Their four front limbs were raised like swords, and their two hind legs were propped up on the nest, as if they were about to fly out.
Xu Zong directly took out a spear and threw it!
This spear was like a meteor from the sky. The invisible law fluctuations were added to the spear, making its power surge. In just an instant, it broke through the Insect Queen’s nest like a hot knife through butter!
The thousand insect warriors being bred inside screamed, dying in the womb like stillborn babies.
The Insect Queen, having lost her nest, could no longer breed insect warriors. She looked at Xu Zong with a face full of sorrow. The queen was very beautiful, her body crystal clear as if made of water, with transparent butterfly wings wrapped around her back. Her face was covered by a single mist, and she exuded a strong allure. There was even wonderful music playing around her ears.
Xu Zong’s face was expressionless as he thrust out his spear.
The Insect Queen screamed and fell silent.
The Insect Queen’s Nest, the queen herself was very fragile. Although she had extremely powerful mental power and was proficient in illusions, she was very weak and needed a large number of warriors to protect her. Once her nest was destroyed, she was nothing more than a turtle in a jar.
With a flash of light, Xu Zong also entered the first level of the sixth trial tower.
“He’s caught up! He’s really caught up!”
“Xu Zong has reached the same level as Berlan!”
The many geniuses watching the battle outside suddenly erupted in excitement.
