Despite its decorative features, Babata still performs its most basic smart assistant functions perfectly.
Lin Hao, inside the Qianwu Secret Realm, received the notification and immediately entered the virtual universe to check the email he had just received:
"Welcome to the selection battle for the ultimate genius of humanity in the universe."
"In this selection battle, more than 8225 billion star-level participants registered within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, which is 1100 billion more than the previous one. This is something that makes our Virtual Universe Company very happy."
"We guarantee that everything in the talent selection process will be conducted in an absolutely fair manner."
"Because some of the applicants are at the first or second level of the Stellar Realm... while others are at the eighth or ninth level. Therefore, to ensure fairness and select the true geniuses, the real elimination battle will take place in the virtual universe. At that time, all participants' physical attributes will be exactly the same, maintaining the ninth level of the Stellar Realm."
"The same applies to everyone's mental power; it remains at the ninth level of the stellar level."
"All participants may freely choose any Force weapon/psychic weapon of any grade (no more than ten items. Participants are reminded that although fourth and fifth grade weapons are powerful, they are unusable if one's strength is weak. It is recommended to choose the one that best suits one's own abilities)."
"You can also choose a Force suit (not exceeding Tier 2) and obtain a space ring for storing food."
"The selection of geniuses tests willpower, domain, combat experience, and comprehension of laws, among other things. All external conditions are equal for everyone."
"This talent selection competition is divided into two major stages."
"Phase One..."
……
A month later.
October 16, 2066 (China Time).
The battle of the ultimate geniuses has officially begun.
Today is the first day of the preliminary rounds of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and a large number of participants are beginning to gather.
The qualifiers were insane!
More than 8200 billion people are divided into 100 world zones to fight each other, with more than 82 billion people in each world zone!
More than 82 billion people are engaged in a frenzied battle in the same world zone, killing others to earn points. The more you kill, the more points you get!
Ultimately, those ranked within the top 1001 in each world region will qualify for the arena battle.
The player ranked first in this world region will directly obtain one of the 1000 slots in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom without having to participate in the arena battle.
One hundred world-class first place winners mean one hundred slots.
The remaining 900 spots will be contested by the remaining 10 participants through a ring battle.
……
"You are the future elite and future pillars of Wuganwu Universe Kingdom."
"I hope that you will occupy at least half of the 100,100 spots in this preliminary round!"
A deep, resonant sound that shook heaven and earth echoed across the cosmos.
In this starry sky, a giant whose face is obscured stands in the void. The space around him is faintly distorted, and not far in front of the giant, there are countless young people who stretch as far as the eye can see.
Except for the one at the very front who bowed slightly, all the other young people knelt respectfully.
Even though Brolin was completely inconspicuous in the crowd, her intense gaze was fixed on the man at the very front who wasn't kneeling, but merely bowing slightly—
That's her man!
Beside this colossal giant, whose sight was blinding and whose mere sound sent shivers down one's spine, stood a group of powerful, immortal beings, each standing respectfully to the side.
Every immortal being possesses awe-inspiring divine power, and at this moment, there are at least a thousand immortal beings.
"Go ahead, kids."
The deep, resonant voice made the space tremble, making everyone's soul tremble.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The one who just bowed slightly was naturally Lin Hao.
"Junior Brother Lin Hao, you must show mercy when the time comes, lest you kill all your own people in a moment of impulse!"
Senior Brother Cang Lei transmitted his voice, "Teacher, it's not good to say it directly, but I know you. I feel that in your world, even if you die in the last 1000 deaths, you can still advance..."
"Um, you should tell them to stay away from the rain. I really don't care whether they're one of our own or not..."
Lin Hao replied telepathically, sounding annoyed.
The incident began a month ago, after registration ended. The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom instructed Cang Lei to organize a virtual sparring session between Lin Hao and the top 1,000 star-level young people in the Qianwu Secret Realm.
The original intention was to show these arrogant geniuses what it means to be outmatched, but a small accident happened along the way.
"The teacher said you should give them a good hard workout, otherwise they'll always be so arrogant."
Cang Lei, fearing Lin Hao might be too embarrassed to go all out, directly spread rumors, "You don't know, but after several young men in the inner region tried to pursue Brolin and were rejected by her using your name, rumors started circulating that you're just a lucky kid who somehow managed to master teleportation and was favored by the king to become his personal disciple, and that you're only good at escaping..."
"Then I won't hold back. I hope I can break their mentality and affect their performance..."
Lin Hao checked it again.
"It's alright, just go all out. There's still a month before the official competition, so let them adjust their mindset."
"That's fine."
In the arena, Lin Hao waved his hand and immediately launched a taunt, "Stop wasting time, all of you come at me at once..."
These self-proclaimed elite geniuses couldn't stand such provocation. Although they admitted that they were no match for Lin Hao, Lin Hao's arrogance was a gross underestimation of them!
They rushed forward immediately, but even as they charged, Lin Hao didn't move an inch, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Before they could even react to what had happened, a thousand people collectively withdrew from the arena, silently questioning their existence.
Cang Lei and Qian Wu, who was silently watching from behind the scenes, were also dumbfounded, which led to the current scene.
"Alright then, I've already given instructions to the top 1,000. If you're unlucky enough to end up in the same world zone as me, good luck to you."
Cang Lei was also helpless. He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate; he couldn't control his junior brother.
……
"Attention everyone, the qualifiers are about to begin, and a mass teleportation will be conducted shortly! Please check your weapons and equipment now, as once the qualifiers begin and you are teleported to your respective world zones, you will no longer be able to apply for weapons and equipment!"
A loud voice rang out, echoing across the entire continent, and the noisy participants hurriedly checked their equipment.
Lin Hao only brought one Sky-Slaying Blade, and didn't even bother to use the Ice Soul Blade.
He can now wield the Law of Water with remarkable fluidity without needing any weapons.
"Lin Hao, Janet is actually in the 6th World District with you?!"
Babata had just finished his period of tanking when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise!
"what?!"
Lin Hao genuinely didn't know. He was in District 6, and after asking Luo Feng, he learned that Luo Feng was in District 1, Hong was in District 72, and Thor was in District 88.
He genuinely had no idea that his sisters had all signed up for the Genius Battle!
That's not right either; all he knew before was that Brolin was participating.
I haven't been eavesdropping enough lately, and now they all have their own little secrets.
It was only after Babata confirmed again that he learned—
Yao Rao is in District 3, Jiang Fang is in District 17, Zhao Ruo is in District 35, Wen Yourong is in District 39, and Brolin is in District 52.
Janet was the luckiest!
"Ten-second countdown, we're about to teleport! 10, 9, 8..."
Before Lin Hao could think further, a loud voice once again resounded across the entire continent, indicating that the preliminary rounds were about to begin.
"3, 2, 1! Teleport!"
A loud voice echoed in the ears of more than 800 billion people gathered on this continent, and then in an instant, everyone on the entire continent disappeared.
Chapter 66 We're on the same side, Junior Uncle!
Virtual Universe Qualifiers, World Zone 6.
Lin Hao suddenly appeared in a guest room; the entire building was laid out like an apartment.
Each world zone is a continent simulated based on the landforms of various planets in the real-world Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
The 6th World District has a total of 88 cities and vast wilderness areas, covering an area of more than 11 million square kilometers.
In addition to tens of thousands of times the gravitational pull, all objects within the world zone, such as houses and the ground, have a hardness of B9, capable of withstanding ordinary attacks from a ninth-tier stellar-level powerhouse.
Lin Hao raised his wrist; the screen on his arm guard was one that every participant had, used to receive and view various messages transmitted by the organizer, Virtual Universe Company.
Participant: Lin Hao (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
Points: 0
Rank: None
World Area: 6th World Area
Lin Hao walked onto the balcony and looked out the window.
However, he soon lost interest in appreciating the view outside the window.
Because the sisters in the Bond Space are causing a ruckus!
Wen Yourong: [I told you I didn't need to participate, I just came in and before I could even warm up my screen went black...]
Janet: [Thank goodness I dodged quickly. How unlucky! Every contestant has a domain! Oh no, more than ten people couldn't kill him? They're chasing after him again?]
Zhao Ruo: [I shouldn't have fought that big oaf just now, it benefited someone else...]
Jiang Fang: [I feel young again. This feeling of fighting freely is wonderful!]
Enchanting: [Looks like I'll be eliminated soon with my skills... Is the difficulty here really that high?!]
Hearing this, Lin Hao stopped hesitating. If he was too cowardly to take risks in the virtual universe, what was the point of playing at all!
Space Management Master, go live!
Another city in the 6th World Zone, a thousand meters above the ground.
Janet, who was being chased, suddenly felt herself being embraced by a strong hand.
