“Everyone, please get ready. A collective teleportation will be conducted soon to send all participants to their respective Trial Spaces.”
In the morning, a clear and pleasant voice echoed throughout the entire plane. Inside the 1008 buildings, millions of geniuses were already waiting, ready to enter the next round of elimination at any moment.
Upon hearing the voice, everyone secretly resolved to perform well in the Trial Space and join the Virtual Universe Corporation. As a top power of the Human Race, it was an organization almost every genius hoped to join.
In the hall of Building No. 0825, Qin Hao, Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, and Rong Jun sat together. After hearing the voice, they exchanged encouraging glances, and their figures successively vanished from the building.
At the same time, all participants in the entire space also disappeared, leaving only the service personnel of various facilities and Undying powerhouses.
And within the space, screens appeared one after another, displaying every genius who entered the Trial Space.
The surroundings changed, and Qin Hao's figure appeared in a universe. Within the universe, giant meteorites drifted, and seven Trial Towers were built upon these meteorites. Looking at the appearance of the Trial Towers, they bore many similarities to those set up by Source Star King. When Qin Hao first entered the Trial Tower set up by Source Star King, he also wondered if it was modeled after the Trial Towers of the Genius Battle. It seemed that was indeed the case.
After surveying his surroundings, Qin Hao went directly to the first Trial Tower.
He looked down at his wrist, which had a screen, just like the preliminary selection within the Ganwu Universe Country back then.
Score: 0
Current Trial Space: No. 02793736.
In the first Trial Tower, each layer can earn a maximum of ten thousand points. Successfully completing all seven layers can yield a maximum of seventy thousand points. The points for each Trial Tower increase tenfold, and the difficulty also increases tenfold.
The first layer consists of 10,000 Blood-haired Mammoths.
…
The third layer consists of 1,000 metal lifeforms, 'Tuoluo Race Warriors'.
…
The fifth layer consists of 100 Automaton Race puppets!
…
The sixth layer consists of Starry Sky Behemoth Cang.
…
The seventh layer consists of 1 Zerg Mother Nest!
The opponents in each layer were different, and the difficulty continuously increased. Furthermore, the seven layers featured representative existences from various major races in the universe. To a certain extent, this was also to allow these geniuses to adapt to battles with these alien races starting now.
After understanding the information, Qin Hao no longer hesitated and directly stepped into the first Trial Tower. At this moment, other geniuses had already begun to challenge the levels, with Bolan leading by a wide margin, directly taking first place.
“He’s finally going to start challenging the levels. What a cautious fellow,” Ninesword Exalt said upon seeing Qin Hao enter the Trial Tower.
“Thirteen, how many Trial Towers do you think Qin Hao can clear? Want to make a bet?” The surrounding Undying powerhouses also became active. A grand event of 1008 Cosmic Countries gathering these Undying powerhouses was not that simple.
Now, the appearance of a unique genius was a good source of entertainment for their long lives.
“The seventh one,” Thirteen said without hesitation. He was very confident in Qin Hao’s strength, but it was hard to say which layer of the seventh tower he could reach.
“How many generations has it been since a genius entered the seventh tower?”
“Dozens, hundreds of generations?”
“More than that, it has been over a thousand eras since a genius capable of reaching the seventh tower appeared.”
“Qin Hao should have no problem entering the seventh Trial Tower, but it’s hard to say which layer. In the first layer of the seventh Trial Tower, every Blood-haired Mammoth has comprehended laws, making their strength comparable to the top hundred.”
“I bet on the first layer.”
“The Second Layer.”
“The Second Layer.”
“The third layer.”
The 1008 Undying powerhouses began to discuss and predict Qin Hao's final results. However, the best predictions only went as far as the third layer. The third layer of the seventh Trial Tower—such talent was already the limit for a genius of the hundred-thousand-era level.
The Trial Tower, as a test in the Genius Battle, was meant to challenge geniuses and also to warn them, instilling a sense of reverence. The setting of the seventh tower, seventh layer, could be said to be the limit for an Astral Rank—the limit of soul, the limit of physical strength, the limit of secret method comprehension, the limit of law comprehension…
This meant that only by reaching the limit in every aspect was it possible to pass the final layer.
While the Undying powerhouses began discussing and placing bets, Qin Hao had already entered the first layer of the first Trial Tower and began his challenge.
After Qin Hao entered the first layer, 10,000 Blood-haired Mammoths began to charge towards him. In this Genius Battle, Qin Hao did not intend to hide too much of his strength. For the Trial Tower challenge, he was prepared to go all out, completing the challenge as quickly as possible. Dawdling had no meaning for him.
After all, in the original work, Luo Feng delayed for time to gain a deeper comprehension of the Space Law. The current Luo Feng already had a deeper comprehension of laws, and he did not hold back after entering the Trial Tower. Qin Hao naturally would not hold back either. Playing the pig to eat the tiger was a good idea.
However, in the early stages of growth, displaying more talent allows one to gain more resources and more attention. This time, besides joining the Virtual Universe Corporation, Qin Hao was also preparing to find a teacher to gain more resources and influence. Primordial Chaos City Lord was undoubtedly the best choice, but to succeed, talent was key.
Taking a step forward, the Five Elements Ring behind him transformed into a long sword, the Water Law emanated, and at the same time, thousands of space clones appeared. In just an instant, all ten thousand Blood-haired Mammoths directly vanished.
“Water Law, Space Law? Didn’t he comprehend the Wood Laws?”
“No, look at the Five Elements Ring behind him. Could it be that he has comprehended all Five Elements Laws?”
“Fusion of Water Law and Space Law?” Compared to the Undying powerhouses' focus on laws, Ninesword Exalt seemed to have seen a trace of resonance and Fusion Laws between the Water Law and Space Law from Qin Hao's simple strike. Although it was only a trace, it was still shocking.
“An Astral Rank has already started on the path of Fusion Laws?” Fusion Laws were extremely difficult even for Undying powerhouses; most Undying powerhouses could not even cross the threshold, yet the Astral Rank before them had managed to do so.
With the Blood-haired Mammoths on the first layer eliminated by Qin Hao, Qin Hao unleashed his full speed in clearing the levels. The Second Layer was completed in an instant, followed by the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh layers. In less than a minute, Qin Hao had completed the challenge of the first Trial Tower, and this included the time for teleportation and settlement.
Upon completing the first challenge, Qin Hao's ranking directly soared to first place.
