Chapter 41 Invitation from the Nine Swords Master

Shortly after Rong Jun left Room 0825, the originally noisy Building became unusually quiet.

The millions of eliminated geniuses have all been teleported away. At this moment, there are only nine people left in the entire building - the leader Thirteen and eight young people.

There was a tense and anxious atmosphere in the air.

The young people who can stay are all geniuses who have gone through layers of selection and finally stood at the top.

But the Virtual Universe Company will only select the best from the best, and in the end only one thousand will remain!
-

The next morning, 7300 talented elites including Rong Jun, Luo Feng and Hong gathered in the Central Square.

Suddenly, an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped the square, causing everyone present to look up in awe. In midair, a familiar figure appeared again.

He was wearing a green battle robe that looked ordinary but exuded a mysterious aura. His head was inlaid with purple scales and he always had a faint smile on his face. But when his eyes swept over, no one dared to look at him.

Even the immortals lowered their lofty heads.

"Sir!"

1008 powerful immortals saluted respectfully at the same time, and this move made the hearts of the 7300 talented elites present palpitate.

"Is this the aura of a high-level cosmic master?" Rong Jun felt that the other party's eyes seemed to stay on him for a second.

The voice of the man in the cyan robe and purple scales was ethereal and powerful, reaching everyone's ears: "The elimination round of the Trial Tower is over. First of all, congratulations to the top 100 trialists. You will be qualified to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company. If anyone is unwilling, you can ask now. My Virtual Universe Company will never force anyone to do anything."

The square was completely silent, no one spoke. After four or five years of hard work, one would be crazy to quit at this time!
"Very good." The man nodded with satisfaction. "For the 101st to 7300th place trialists, the virtual universe system has arranged arena battles for you based on your performance in the trial space. As long as you win three battles in a row, you will get a spot, and the losers will be eliminated."

As soon as these words were spoken, many talented elites could not help but look embarrassed. There was no room for error and they had to win in a row.

This means that among the 7200 trial participants, half will be eliminated after each battle. After three consecutive battles, only 900 people will be left.

"Only by winning three games in a row can one get a spot? If two strong men meet in advance, won't one of them be eliminated?" Luo Feng was secretly puzzled, recalling that he and Ken McGee had had such an experience in the Qianwu Universe.

Many talented elites present had the same concerns as Luo Feng.

The man in the cyan battle robe and purple scales seemed to see through their thoughts and slowly said, "The arrangement of the virtual universe system always strives to be the most reasonable. You don't need to question it. Now, please invite 7200 trial participants to the arena to fight."

As soon as the words fell, the central square shook slightly, and then 7200 trial participants were quickly teleported to their respective arena battle areas, leaving only 100 elite human geniuses behind.

Rong Jun's eyes remained calm throughout. If he didn't know what was going to happen next, he might have worried like everyone else about whether it was fair.

But he knew... these people, including the one hundred core members including them, except Luo Feng and that unknown Hong, would eventually perish in the great cycle of reincarnation even if they became immortal.

Devouring the universe is so cruel.

Of course, for ordinary people, being able to live three reincarnations is already lucky enough!

-

Rong Jun looked around and saw that there were only 100 young human geniuses left in the empty square.

Among them was the white-robed Blood Sword Death God Bolan who glanced at him from time to time, the young man from Manka with fiery eyes and full of fighting spirit, the genius brother and sister from Augustus who stood side by side and secretly looked at him, the six-meter-tall strong man with a blood axe on his back, the boys and girls from the Dream Wings, the bear-headed giant with thick facial hair, and the four-armed, extremely charming girl in black stockings...

Everyone has a different expression on his or her face.

These 100 people are all peerless geniuses who have stood out in the trials, and they are about to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.

At this moment, they are all watching each other as potential competitors.

"Except Luo Feng, they are all just cannon fodder." Rong Jun sneered in his heart.

"Rong Jun stays, the others can go over there to watch the live broadcast." The man in green robe and purple scales pointed to the distance, and then a hundred large chairs and tables appeared in a corner of the central square, with fruits, drinks, alcohol and food placed on the tables.

After saying that, the man in the green battle robe disappeared with Rong Jun.

Shortly after the man in the green robe and purple scales disappeared with Rong Jun, the other 99 geniuses in the square exchanged glances with each other, knowing in their hearts that the journey ahead would be even more difficult.

Walking towards the one hundred wide chairs, some had a relaxed look on their faces, while others had frowns, each waiting for the next arrangements with different feelings.

Bolan, Luo Feng, Hong and ninety-nine others took their seats one after another. Luo Feng and Hong deliberately chose adjacent seats. They were from the same universe country, and Luo Feng and Hong were sworn brothers.

“Look, that’s 3600 screens.”

"The game is about to begin."

"The phantom demon Galesi of the Howling God Clan is on that screen." Several familiar peerless geniuses talked to each other, and there were indeed 3600 huge screens floating above the central square, each of which was broadcasting the upcoming game in real time.

Immediately afterwards, the battle broke out on 3600 screens almost at the same time!

The competition for 900 places officially kicked off. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated. The cruelty of the competition is self-evident.

However, at this time, Bolan and Luo Feng seemed a little absent-minded.

"Brother, what do you think the green-robed venerable wants to see Rong Jun about?" Luo Feng said, staring at the screen intently.

On the screen, a young man knelt on the ground, with a shocking hole between his eyebrows. His eyes were already unfocused, but his lips were still trembling slightly, and it was clear that he was murmuring, "I won't give up."

Similar peerless geniuses have fallen one after another, which is too numerous to watch.

In just three minutes, 3600 people were eliminated.

Those who were eliminated were all unwilling to accept the outcome, as they were already close to their goal, just a little bit short.

The core layers of the Universe Country and the Virtual Universe Company are completely different worlds.

There are five giants there, representing the top five forces of humanity in the universe. These peerless geniuses all think highly of themselves and believe that only the top forces in the universe can match their talents.

Their goal, of course, is to join the best and most powerful force.

"Whatever the mysterious venerable wants from him, it has nothing to do with us. Third son, my goal is to consolidate my current position and seek further advancement.

This is a rare opportunity! You should have similar goals. "

-

When the third round began, Rong Jun, Cai and the blue-robed elder appeared in front of everyone.

"Go over there and sit with them and wait. Once the Peak Genius Battle is over, I will arrange special instruction for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." The young man in the cyan robe instructed calmly.

If someone looked carefully, they would definitely be able to see that the corners of Jiu Jian's mouth were slightly raised at this moment.

"Yes, Master." After Rong Jun bowed respectfully, he turned around and sat back among the seats of the one hundred top geniuses.

Why did he choose Jiujian as his master so hastily? The reason is simple. The Devouring Universe does not exclude multiple masters.

The most important thing is that he waited for half a year but did not receive any information or promise from the so-called great being.

No matter what level of cosmic overlord the other party is, or even the master of the universe, in Rong Jun's eyes, he is just a temporary help.

What he hoped for was a master who could give him guidance and help in time, even now, rather than some distant, untouchable, and high-handed being.

In fact, the fact that he couldn't get the Nine Swords was enough to show that the man was not as weird as Thirteen said.

Of course, it may also be that we don’t pay enough attention to him, which has led to no news so far.

Although Rong Jun was attracted by that being's attainments in will.

But Rong Jun knew very well that ten birds in the bush were not as good as one bird in the hand, and the other party did not value him as much as he wished.

General Thirteen's seriousness was only due to his limited knowledge. After all, his ruler was only a high-level cosmic master.

It is understandable that one would behave somewhat awkwardly and cautiously in the face of a hegemon.

But if Thirteen knew that the Overlord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, and even higher-level beings are divided into different levels, including above them are the True God of the Void, the True God of Eternity, the Lord of Chaos (Saint level), the God King, and the Hunyuan Realm, he would definitely be more calm.

It was like even though he respected the other person, he would never lose his sense of propriety like that.

Because when your horizons are broad enough, being the overlord of the universe really means nothing!
When Rong Jun respectfully called him "Master", all the immortals present were shocked, and the other geniuses couldn't help but gasp.

Although many people are not clear about the exact strength of the lord in the green battle robe before them, the respect and envy revealed in the eyes of 1008 immortals are enough to show his extraordinaryness.

You must know that these immortal strong men are either marquises at the peak or kings. In their respective cosmic countries, they are all very important figures, and their every move can cause huge waves in countless star fields.

At this time, when they looked at Rong Jun again, their eyes were filled with different meanings.

Under the spotlight, Rong Jun remained calm and composed, not affected by the outside world at all.

He sat back in his seat quietly, his eyes neither happy nor sad, and he was oblivious to everything outside.

The apprenticeship ceremony was unusually simple and solemn. Just as General Thirteen had said, Rong Jun asked the Nine Swords Master if he could get his guidance, and the other party readily agreed after a little hesitation.

The Nine Swords Master also admitted that although he was very curious about Rong Jun's sword, he knew very little about it.

However, he himself had a deep understanding of space and owned a statue that was a fusion of earth and space, which he promised to give to Rong Jun when he went to Chaos City.

Before Rong Jun arrived at Chaos City, the Nine Swords Master had already gifted him the secret method of "Opening the Sky" and two important reference books - "Thousand Mountains" and "Floating Blood".

The secret method of "Kai Tian" is mainly used for learning, while "Qian Shan" and "Piao Xue" are used as reference materials for comprehending the original laws of earth and the original laws of space.

According to Venerable Nine Swords, the secret method of "Kai Tian" was created by an immortal named Venerable Kai Tian based on the Giant Axe Chaos Monument.

It mainly revolves around the first four pictures of "The Great Axe Chaos Monument", with a total of 119 volumes.

Volume 1 is the general outline, which summarizes the core ideas of the secret method; Volumes 2 to 109 analyze in detail 108 mysterious methods of practice.

Among them, the first 9 mysteries are relatively easy and are the analysis of the first picture; the next 27 mysteries increase in difficulty and constitute the second Giant Axe Chaos Monument.

The next 72 methods are more difficult and correspond to the third Great Axe Chaos Monument.

The most difficult part of the secret method is that these 72 methods are combined with all the previous contents to form the fourth Giant Axe Chaos Monument.

The last ten volumes contain 1008 sets of exquisite knife techniques.

The value of these secrets is self-evident.

Not only that, the Nine Swords Master also promised to send a capable assistant to guide Rong Jun in his practice in the virtual universe all year round.

Where can I find such a good teacher?
The Nine Swords Master might not have realized that Rong Jun was well aware of the preciousness of these three secret techniques and the earth-void fusion statue.

The reason why he gave generously was just to show his sincerity.

However, what was unexpected was that after I offered these precious things, he agreed to become my disciple without any explanation.

Rong Jun did not greedily ask for more, and this humility and contentment made the Nine Swords Master deeply satisfied.

-

As soon as Rong Jun sat down, the third round began.

Unlike Rong Jun, each of these 1800 peerless geniuses has a strong desire, and they are only one step away from the final victory.

However, the cruel reality is that only one person from each ring can enter the core layer of the virtual universe company, and the other must be eliminated regretfully.

The third round of competition began. Apart from Bolan, even Luo Feng did not dare to be distracted at all.

Luo Feng, Hong, Wu Ka, Qian Shui, Jiang Mo and others were all paying attention to dozens of screens at the same time. For these geniuses with strong mental will, "multitasking" was indeed not a difficult task.

However, although the 100 geniuses present were all distracted and looking at multiple screens, they all, without exception, paid special attention to one screen.

That was the live broadcast of the battle between "Phantom" Galesi from the Howling God tribe, and his performance became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Won."

Luo Feng frowned slightly, looking at the results on the screen. Phantom Demon Galesi won all three battles with overwhelming advantages. In the first two battles, he just stood there and his opponent fell down instantly; in the third battle, although his opponent barely withstood the first soul attack, he still lost the second time.

Three victories! Phantom Galesi successfully obtained a spot.

"This phantom demon is very scary." Hong said in a deep voice.

Luo Feng nodded, his eyes fixed on the screen: "A pure soul attack may not be so fatal, but once combined with 'illusion', it becomes extremely terrifying. This kind of illusion can make people fall into an illusion without knowing it. Such an illusionist is simply the natural enemy of warriors."

"Well, but with my state of mind and will, I am not afraid of him." Hong nodded slightly, "On the contrary, you have to be careful, Third Brother!"

Luo Feng was not too worried. He had studied the two secret techniques of "Soul Seal" and "Tower of the Void", and his control over telekinesis had reached a very high level, and his defense was also very strong. Facing the Phantom Demon Galesi, he still had some confidence.

Most warriors resist telekinetic shocks by concentrating their telekinesis and strengthening their will, but when faced with illusions, their chances of being hit are greatly increased.

But most of this does not include his elder brother Hong!
"I just don't know how Rong Jun will deal with this person?"

Even though Luo Feng knew that Galesi could not block Rong Jun's sword, he still couldn't help but guess.

If Rong Jun's soul is also powerful enough to be invincible, this monster is too terrifying!
