Chapter 54 Virtual Universe Company Universal Headquarters
"Keep working hard!" Rong Jun was determined.

"Just as Venerable Hou Tu asked. Not only must my attack power be strong enough, but my body movement and defense must also be top-notch. Only in this way can I be truly invulnerable!"

Rong Jun knew that these things were basically useless in the later stages, but he knew even more clearly that these were the basics, the things that solidified his foundation.

In the past two years or so, he has made such rapid progress. In addition to the effect of the secret pattern map, the genius battles in those years also contributed greatly.

Sweat will not lie. All the hard work today will turn into nutrients to nourish yourself in the future.

……

Rong Jun worked tirelessly.

In the second year and eleven months of the spaceship's voyage, after hard training, he finally blocked Baker's powerful attack with the help of the "Basalt Shield" and killed him with a backhand!

However, defeating Baker did not make Rong Jun feel at ease.

At Custer's request, his "master nephew" Baker directly used the domain lord-level Force to inhumanely crush and beat him.

"Even though Baker's talent in attack is mediocre, he is still stronger than Ruolan! Of course, this is also related to the fact that Ruolan did not exert the full power of the law at the beginning." Although he was beaten every day, Rong Jun did not dare to complain at all, but was grateful instead.

An invincible military leader and a venerable one-on-one personal guidance. There are probably not many people in the entire universe who have this treatment!

In fact, this three-year journey through the universe was an extremely precious time for the 1000 geniuses who were recruited.

None of them dared to relax at all, because the battle of geniuses had a profound impact on them.

Before, it was difficult for them to encounter opponents of equal strength, but the life-and-death battles in the genius battle did benefit them a lot.

After the genius war, many people looked back on their experiences in those years and realized that they had made tremendous progress.

Of course, there are also people who are desperate, especially those geniuses who simulated 'Rong Jun' in the virtual space. Their strength has changed dramatically in three years, but they are still defeated.

How desperate this is!

Naturally, while some people are desperate, others are determined to become stronger. After all, most of those who can be recruited by the Virtual Universe Company have above-par willpower.

In addition, they can choose from countless coveted secret methods to learn.

For geniuses from the Primitive and Primordial Zones such as Luo Feng, Bolan, Wuka, and Qianshui, 10000 points are enough for them to purchase many of their favorite secret techniques.

At this level, they don't need to buy overly expensive secret techniques, but instead focus more on the secret techniques that suit them.

Just like Rong Jun.

After three years of study and practice, it is clear that everyone has made significant progress.

Among them, Bolan and Luo Feng have been eager to try and see how strong Rong Jun is now!
-

The atmosphere in the spacecraft's hall was solemn and dignified.

A young man three meters tall, wearing a slim black battle armor, stood in the hall of the spaceship. Next to him stood a bald man, who said respectfully, "Your Highness, we are about to arrive at the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters."

"Yeah!" Rong Jun nodded slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.

The past three years have undoubtedly been a period of rapid progress for him.

As he explored the fundamental laws of the universe more and more deeply, he felt its unfathomable mysteries and the mysterious and complex operation of the entire universe.

Although the secret methods he practiced were only 'ordinary immortality' and 'marquis immortality', Rong Jun still felt that they were profound and obscure, which made him more aware of the difficulty and hardship of future practice.

"I have improved so much, I wonder how others are doing." Rong Jun thought to himself. He was satisfied with his own progress, but he was not complacent about it.

Rong Jun understood that there were many powerful people in the universe, and he was still just a small ant.

At most, he is just a slightly stronger one among many ants.

"Of course, even if others make progress, they can never compare to me. Only I don't know how strong Luo Feng and Hong are now." The figures of Luo Feng and Hong flashed through his mind.

In the Devouring Universe, only Luo Feng made him feel pressured, so of course there was an additional uncertain choice, Hong.

Luo Feng's strength has always been unfathomable, and Hong's potential is equally huge.

But Rong Jun will not be discouraged or arrogant because of this.

He always maintains a sense of awe for the universe, knowing that humans are only a tiny part of this vast universe.

"Begin space travel and enter the original universe." The spacecraft's prompt sound rang, and Rong Jun's heartbeat accelerated.

“10……9……8……7……6……5……4……3……2……1！”随着倒计时的结束，戎钧感到整个飞船微微一震，然后一切恢复平静。

"Exterior scene simulation 100%." ​​He gave orders repeatedly, and suddenly the walls of the entire hall became transparent and disappeared, replaced by a dreamy starry sky.

Deep in the starry sky, an extremely vast supercontinent is suspended in it. That is the universal headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Is this the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company?" Rong Jun gazed at the starry sky and the supercontinent in the distance, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.

Rong Jun stood inside the spaceship, gazing at the vast continent floating in the distant starry sky, his eyes shining.

Planets, stars, nebulae and other celestial bodies are common in the universe. Even if he encounters the wreckage of a spaceship or witnesses the magnificence of a giant beast in the sky, Rong Jun can remain calm, after all, there is one hidden in Luo Feng's body.

However, seeing a vast and boundless continent in the starry sky of the universe still shocked him even though he had known about it in advance!

This is not a virtual illusion, but a real existence!
"How big is this?" Rong Jun exclaimed in his heart.

Compared with this continent, the stars and planets floating in the sky are as tiny as sesame seeds. Even though the spacecraft is getting closer, the continent still seems out of reach.

"It's tens of millions of times bigger than any planet I've ever seen. It's truly breathtaking!" Rong Jun took a deep breath and thought to himself, "It's worthy of being the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company."

"Your Highness, what do you think of the company's universal headquarters?" the bald man next to him asked proudly.

"It's very big and spectacular!" Rong Jun answered without hesitation.

“Hahaha…” The bald man laughed, “That’s right! If we don’t travel through space to enter the dark universe, it will take at least decades to fly from one side of the headquarters to the other by spaceship alone.”

"Is the diameter about tens of light years?" Rong Jun asked.

One light year is more than 9 trillion kilometers, while the diameter of the earth is only more than 10,000 kilometers. No wonder those distant stars and planets look as small as sesame seeds on this continent. The hugeness of this continent floating in the universe is really unbelievable.

"That's right." The bald man nodded.

Although he witnessed the vast continent in the distant starry sky with his own eyes, even an F-class spacecraft flying at close to the speed of light took about thirteen hours to reach an entrance to the Virtual Universe Company's global headquarters.

During the flight, Rong Jun was attracted by the beautiful scenery around this continent. The seemingly natural beauty actually contained amazing advanced technology.

After the spacecraft entered the mainland, Rong Jun felt more deeply the technological power hidden behind this "nature".

The bald man explained in the luxurious hall of the spaceship: “Your Highness, the stars, planets, meteorites and other celestial bodies around the headquarters continent are actually extremely powerful technological weapons.

Even I can kill it easily!"

Rong Jun nodded to show his understanding: "With the strength of the Virtual Universe Company, those stars and planets can indeed be easily controlled. As for immortality..."

Rong Jun didn't say much. Even ordinary immortals can play with stars, and the technological means of the Virtual Universe Company are even more unimaginable.

Those transformed stars and planets used as weapons are just superficial phenomena.

The real defensive trump card of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters must not be these superficial things!

The Lord of the Universe is definitely here!
Finally, the spacecraft slowed down and stopped after flying at sub-light speed for several minutes in the entrance channel of the continent.

Rong Jun flew out of the hatch accompanied by the immortal strongman Jiang Pu and others.

There were already more than a dozen men and women in uniform waiting outside. The young man in a silver battle robe who was leading the group stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Highness Rong Jun, I am waiting here on the orders of His Excellency. Please follow me."

Rong Jun nodded to show that he understood.

"Mr. Jiang Pu, I'm sorry to bother you along the way!" Rong Jun turned around and looked at the bald man.

The Immortal Army Master smiled knowingly: "It will be my lifelong honor to accompany Your Highness for three years!"

These words were absolutely from the bottom of his heart. No one knew better than Jiang Pu the changes in His Highness Rong Jun over the past three years.

At this rate, having the honor of escorting the other party in the future will definitely be something he can brag about.

After all, this is a genius that appears once in millions of eras!

Otherwise, the Virtual Universe Company would not have allowed him to escort it.

You should know that the other princes are escorted by the realm masters.

"I remember that Venerable Eclipse Fire also made it to the seventh fifth-floor trial tower!" Looking at Rong Jun's departing back, Jiang Pu said softly.

The Lord of Erosion Fire is a powerful overlord, one level higher than Master Rong Jun's Nine Swords!
Although he is also immortal, Jiang Pu knows that he is the real top level of mankind.

Then, the two went their separate ways.

Rong Jun and the young man in silver robe and others walked one after another on the dreamy corridor.

The second half of the corridor is transparent, through which you can clearly see the brilliant starry sky outside the corridor and the magnificent mountain scenery around it.

Soon, three people were waiting in front of the corridor.

Rong Jun looked at them in confusion, and one of them immediately handed over an item and explained, "Your Highness, this is the item you purchased. We completed the delivery at the headquarters according to your request."

Then, another person quickly presented the item left by the Nine Swords Reverend: "Your Highness! This is what the Nine Swords Reverend asked us to hand over to you three years ago."

Since Rong Jun has spent the past three years in the dark universe and most of his time practicing in the "virtual universe", he did not require immediate delivery of the "Basalt Shield" that he exchanged for points, but chose to deliver it at the headquarters.

As for secret techniques such as "Multiple Shadow Clones" and "Void-Breaking Finger", he naturally learned them in the virtual universe.

"Thank you very much." After Rong Jun simply expressed his thanks, he opened the items and checked them. Then he suppressed his excitement and put them into his space ring.

After a moment, he was led into an oval hall.

The hall is transparent around and above, so you can look up at the endless starry sky and enjoy the charming view of the headquarters from afar.

From time to time, you can see spaceships shuttling through it, and even many immortal beings streak across the sky like meteors.

"Rong Jun is here!"

Following this greeting, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became lively.

"Monster, you are finally here."

"Haha, monster, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as Rong Jun walked into the hall, he was immediately enthusiastically surrounded by a group of young talents.

He responded with a smile, and greeted Luo Feng, Hong, Wu Ka, Jiang Mo, Qian Shui, Long Yun and others one by one.

During the three years of hard training in Yuxiang Mountain, these geniuses who entered the same batch communicated a lot, and most of them established some friendships.

Faced with these excellent opponents of the same level, the arrogance between them has long disappeared.

They respect and appreciate each other, and making friends becomes a natural thing.

"Am I the last one to arrive?" Rong Jun looked around and asked with a smile.

"Haha, of course! Otherwise, do you think there is someone worth us waiting for so long?" Wuka greeted enthusiastically and guided Rong Jun to sit in their small circle.

Bolan in the primitive area is a little bit withdrawn. Except for Rong Jun, he basically ignores other people, including Luo Feng.

However, despite Bolan's introverted personality, Luo Feng and others found that Bolan was actually a good person.

In the hall, people naturally formed some small circles, each circle was centered around a few geniuses and gathered like-minded people.

Looking at this scene, Rong Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the world of geniuses, where there is both competition and friendship.

He noticed that Bolan was sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Luo Feng walked over and called softly, "Bolan."

The young man in white turned his head to look at Luo Feng and replied indifferently: "Yeah." Then he turned his head away and continued his contemplation.

Luo Feng knew that Bolan was such a person. Although he seemed indifferent on the surface, he had his own persistence and pursuit in his heart. In short, he was a good person.

I just don't know why I always have an inexplicable hostility towards him.

-

“Those people in the Taichu District are indeed a bit arrogant.” A young man whispered in the corner, and from time to time he glanced at Wuka and his companions who were talking.

"Yeah, they always stick with Rong Jun and Luo Feng, as if they think they are really much stronger than us. Didn't you see that Rong Jun just looks at them and doesn't say much? I think it's probably because he is too embarrassed to refuse." Another person echoed, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Thinking back, when we broke into the top 100, the virtual universe system directly selected 20 of us to decide the top ten, and didn't give the rest of us any chance at all." Another person sighed, obviously dissatisfied with the rules at the time.

“But then again, people in our Tian area have made great progress in the past three years, and some have even made astonishing progress. I believe that many people are now stronger than those in the Taichu area.” A seemingly calm young man analyzed, and his words made everyone around him nod.

"Yes, we can't just give up like this. Anyway, there will be opportunities to compete later. Not to mention the Primitive District, we definitely have a chance in the Taichu District!" another person said excitedly, and his words immediately resonated with many people.

These young people relied on the Force to block out the sounds among themselves and quietly communicated with each other to vent their dissatisfaction and determination.

Although they appear calm on the surface, in their hearts they are filled with jealousy and resentment towards the genius of Taichu District.

They are eager to prove themselves, eager to show their skills in the subsequent competition and let everyone know that their strength is definitely not as assessed by the Virtual Universe Company.
