People are devoured and become Luo Feng's golden finger

Chapter 144 Nine Swords and Qian Wu (1 2 more)
"Great, great! I didn't expect there would be such a surprise when hosting the Talent Competition."

The purple-scaled man, 'Nine Swords Master' laughed heartily, and then his figure disappeared in an instant.

In the central restaurant of a virtual world specially developed for the battle of geniuses.

The atmosphere among the thousands of immortal leaders was quiet for a while, and then became lively again.

"Thirteen, congratulations." The immortal dragon man with a pair of gray-scaled horns similar to dragon horns congratulated Thirteen with envy.

Among the other immortals, those who had a good relationship with Thirteen also congratulated him.

Thirteen's face, which was as cold as death, had 'melted' after these days, and Luo Feng's stunning outburst at the last moment, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Haha, I didn't expect that little guy Luo Feng could suddenly burst out with such strength."

"Luo Feng?" An immortal was puzzled, but soon realized that this Huang was probably just a pseudonym.

No one cares about this. After all, it's just a name. The youngest of the immortal gods here has lived for millions of years. Who hasn't used another name while traveling in the universe?

Swish!
A figure dressed in ordinary clothes and not very tall appeared in the restaurant.

After the immortals noticed the newcomer, they all stood up and bowed respectfully, "Your Excellency."

"No need for formalities." The Nine Swords Master, who loved to laugh, looked radiant at this moment, and smiled as he asked this group of immortals to stand up.

"Is your Excellency here for that wilderness?" an immortal asked curiously.

"Yes, I came here just for him." The Nine Swords Master smiled slightly. He looked through the restaurant and towards the huge square below. He found Luo Feng's figure accurately, and a softness flashed in his eyes.
"The standards set by these seven trial towers are so low that there's almost no hope for the little guys to pass. But over the endless years, there have always been some incredible monsters who have broken this standard. Haha, I didn't expect that my Nine Swords would be so lucky this time."

Compared to most other Universe Venerables, the Nine Sword Venerable has a relatively more friendly personality and is not as arrogant. This is also related to the fact that it has not been long since he broke through to become a Universe Venerable.

Hundreds of thousands of eras… One era was 10081, which was billions of years ago. The Nine Swords Master was only at the stellar level at that time, and he also participated in the Genius Battle and eventually won the first place in that Genius Battle.

The talent displayed by the Nine Swords Master at that time was no less than that of Bolan today, and he was also a genius at the level of tens of thousands of epochs.

but……

"This little fellow Luo Feng is far more talented than I was back then. According to the Virtual Universe Company, he's probably considered a peerless genius who appears once every 100,000 or even 100,000 epochs," Nine Swords Master thought to himself. After Luo Feng revealed his talent, he'd researched all his information and learned his real name.

The seven trial towers are not much less difficult than Tongtian Mountain, and the standards for passing them are extremely abnormal and exaggerated.

However, the value represented by the two is very different, and there are also different levels of Tongtian Mountain.

First, there are three Tongtian Mountains, ranked from weakest to strongest: Tiandi Tongtian Mountain, Taichu Tongtian Mountain, and Yuanshi Tongtian Mountain. Members of the Apocalypse Secret Realm who clear Tiandi Tongtian Mountain can directly ascend to the Tiandi Secret Realm, and so on for the other two Tongtian Mountains. However, clearing Tongtian Mountain essentially means their strength has far surpassed that of their current Secret Realm. Therefore, Tongtian Mountain serves more as a benchmark for talented individuals than as a true test case.

Secondly, according to different strengths, Tongtian Mountain is divided into 'Universe-level Tongtian Mountain', 'Domain-level Tongtian Mountain', and 'Realm-level Tongtian Mountain'.

The most difficult and valuable one among them is undoubtedly the 'Realm Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain'!
Those who can pass the level are almost all evil monsters that appear only once in tens of millions of epochs.

"If Luo Feng can maintain this talent at the Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and Realm Lord Level, it won't be difficult for him to become a king in the future. There's even a possibility of him becoming a Universe Venerable." The Nine Swords Venerable thought to himself.

Yes, just a little bit.

Because talent is not absolute, throughout the endless history of the human race, there have been "geniuses who appear once in tens of millions of eras" who, due to setbacks or other reasons, have been trapped in immortality and unable to break through, and their potential has been exhausted.

In addition, there are also human monsters who suddenly fell and died completely on the road of growth. For example, there is Kodi, who was rated as a monster-level genius that only appears once in hundreds of millions of epochs. He possessed strength comparable to that of a king when he was at the peak of the realm master, and even had an immortal record of killing a marquis.

Ke Di died at the peak of his power as a Realm Lord due to a conspiracy by an alien race. Even his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, could not resurrect him.

"Why not accept Luo Feng as a disciple?" Venerable Nine Swords had an idea in his mind.

His foundation after becoming a Venerable was already shallow, and he was not as good as other veteran Venerables in terms of power or disciples.

This Luo Feng...is not bad at all.

As for Bolan?

His talent is okay, and he can be called a genius that appears once in tens of thousands of epochs, but in the eyes of the Nine Swords Venerable and other Universe Venerables, he is just so-so. If he does not die in the future, there is a high probability that he will be made a marquis, and a very small probability that he will be made a king. Becoming a Universe Venerable... is almost impossible.

This level of ability would not be enough to make the Universe Lord so excited as to want to accept him as his disciple.

Otherwise, after countless years of accumulation, every Universe Master would have tens of thousands of direct disciples, right?
In that case, the treasures and cultivation resources bestowed upon them alone would be enough to make the venerable masters of the universe feel the pain.

...Thirteen noticed the fondness that the Nine Swords Master showed towards Luo Feng, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

No, we have to inform the king.

Thirteen secretly sent an email to the King of Qianwu under the nose of the Nine Swords Master.

The content is roughly as follows: The Nine Swords Master expressed his affection for Luo Feng and seemed to be interested in accepting him as his disciple!
Less than a second had passed after the email was sent when Venerable Nine Swords raised his eyebrows and disappeared from the restaurant.

In the virtual universe, on the Qianwu Continent, there is a majestic palace with the galaxy of the universe as its backdrop.

The purple-scaled man, the 'Nine Swords Master', appeared here. He immediately saw the giant wearing a star-shaped battle robe sitting in the main seat above him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Qian Wu, what do you want from me all of a sudden?"

"Haha, it's not a big deal. I heard that you, Jiujian, are hosting this year's genius battle, so I asked if there are any more dazzling geniuses appearing in this genius battle." Qian Wu said with a chuckle.

The Nine Swords Reverend glanced at Qian Wu with a strange expression. Although he was a 'younger generation', they were both on the same level and naturally understood the 'specialness' of the Qian Wu King. Everyone knew that he was deeply in debt, having worked for hundreds of millions of epochs to cultivate geniuses for his tribe.

Among the Universe Lords who care most about the battle of geniuses, Qian Wu is second, and no one dares to say he is first.

Do you need him to explain?
It's as if Qianwu himself doesn't have the authority to watch the genius battle... Wait, that Luo Feng is from the Qianwu Universe Country, can't it be...

The Nine Swords Master felt a little uneasy. He looked at the Lord of Qianwu, wanting to see what he was going to do. He smiled and replied, "There are two. One is called Bolan. He has a strong spatial talent. At the stellar level, he can use nearly a thousand spatial phantoms. The other is called Luo Feng..."

He has a deep understanding of the Law of Gold and a powerful grasp of the Law of Space, reaching the level of several hundred spatial phantoms. Furthermore, this little fellow has actually created such a highly refined secret technique for the Law of Gold. For someone his age... this is quite rare. Another genius named Rong Jun, who could break into the top ten, has also created a secret technique combining earth and space, but his level of refinement is quite average, not comparable to Luo Feng's.

Luo Feng's talent is reflected in all aspects. In one aspect, such as the comprehension of the laws of space, he is still far behind Bolan.

However, his understanding of the Law of Gold was profound, not inferior at all, even surpassing the Law of Space. Furthermore, his combat awareness was also excellent, remaining extremely calm and focused during combat.

He is strong in psychic skills and even stronger in close combat.

The willpower is not bad either.

At least at the stellar level, it is almost perfect, and even the Nine Swords Master cannot find any major faults.

"Haha." When the Lord of Qianwu heard the Nine Swords Master praising his disciple, he couldn't help but smile proudly. He said leisurely,

"Although my disciple is talented, he is only at the stellar level now. It is hard to say what his future achievements will be."

Disciple?

The eyelids of the Nine Swords Master twitched, and he cursed in his heart, "Old Ghost Qian Wu." As expected, he was wondering why this old guy contacted him suddenly, since it was obvious that the two of them didn't interact much on weekdays.

However, Venerable Jiujian was also very surprised, because the King of Qianwu had not accepted any disciples for a long time, and why hadn't the news of accepting Luo Feng as a disciple been spread?
Things like the Universe Master accepting disciples are much more important than the Genius Competition that takes place every five thousand years. It is also a grand event among the human race. Even if other Universe Masters are not invited to hold a disciple-recruiting conference, at least they will be informed.

The underlying meaning is: This is my disciple, you should tell your subordinates not to break any taboos and cause conflicts, so as to avoid embarrassing everyone and even creating hatred.

The Lord of Qianwu immediately understood what the Nine Swords Master meant, so he explained,

"Luo Feng is only my nominal disciple now. It won't be too late to accept him as my personal disciple once he passes my assessment. That's why I didn't announce it to you in a big way."

As for what kind of assessment? The King of Qianwu actually hadn't thought it through clearly himself, nor had he told his disciple Luo Feng... In short, he was just waiting for Luo Feng to satisfy him, and when he had prepared the treasure he was going to bestow...

When Qian Wu thought about the treasure that was to be bestowed, he felt a headache.

Given his status, the treasures he bestows on his disciples must at least be of the utmost importance, and they cannot be too bad. If they are too bad, it would be a loss of face for him, the Supreme Lord of the Universe.

The most common attack-type treasures can be exchanged for between 0.5 treasure points and 1.5 treasure points when presented to the tribe. If exchanged from the tribe, the price will be even higher.

Some of the top-level treasures and sets of treasures can even be worth several treasure points, and 1 treasure point can be exchanged for 3000 to 4000 treasure points in the human community. In other words, the top-level treasures can be worth up to or treasure points.

Treasures of this level are generally used by the Lords of the Universe. Even the domains and palaces used by many overlords of the universe are only top-level treasures and have not reached the level of supreme treasures.

As for the Lord of Qianwu... He himself is a high-level cosmic Venerable, and a very ancient cosmic Venerable. Normally, it is not an exaggeration to have one or two ordinary treasures on him. However, after his three deaths, let alone treasures, it is difficult for him to take out even an ordinary top-level treasure worth two or three thousand treasure points.

Because once Qian Wu has accumulated some wealth or accidentally obtained a treasure, he will pay off his debts first.

Return the money to friends first, then to the community.

After all these years, the King of Qianwu still owes about 1.6 Treasure Points to his six friends and 2.2 Treasure Points to his clan, for a total of 3.8 Treasure Points, which is equivalent to the net worth of a normal overlord of the universe.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!" The King of Qianwu was very tired.

He even wondered in his heart that this Nine Swords Master seemed to be interested in Luo Feng. Why not "sell" Luo Feng in exchange for a valuable treasure?

Of course, this thought only flashed through Qian Wu's mind. He was not shameless enough to do that. If this kind of thing got out, how could he, Qian Wu, face people?

I am so poor that all I have left is my face and dignity. This is the bottom line and I must not lose it.

"...I see." After hearing the explanation from Lord Qianwu, Venerable Jiujian felt a little regretful, but this emotion disappeared quickly. He smiled and said,

"Although Luo Feng has become your registered disciple, Qian Wu, he is, after all, a genius I discovered during the Genius War. Therefore, he is also considered a member of my 'Nine Swords' lineage. You cannot deny this."

"Of course." The King of Qianwu also smiled. He understood what the Venerable Nine Swords meant. This was an old tradition of the battle of geniuses, but he didn't care. After all, the relationship between master and disciple was the closest, and everything else had to stand aside.

The super beings in the two universes were chatting and laughing. In the outside world, the news that Luo Feng had passed the seven trial towers had almost spread to the middle and senior management of the virtual universe company.

Many immortal powerful beings were amazed at the extremely high quality of this genius battle. Two peerless geniuses emerged, and one of them was even a monster.

Some cosmic masters and kings also cast a glance over, but most of them had no fluctuations in their hearts. These eternal and immortal super beings had seen too many geniuses and evildoers, most of whom died before becoming immortal or returned to ordinary life, so there was nothing to worry about.

Some of the weaker and less experienced Universe Lords did have some thoughts about accepting Luo Feng as their disciples or registered disciples, but after contacting the Nine Sword Lord, they were told by the Nine Sword Lord that Luo Feng had already been accepted as a registered disciple by the Lord of Qianwu State, so they all gave up the idea.

After passing the Trial Tower, Luo Feng continued to practice in seclusion, waiting for everyone to be eliminated from the Trial Tower and then proceed to the final arena battle.

Time passed, and half a year later, as the last genius who was stuck in time was unwillingly eliminated from the Trial Tower, the final stage of the Genius War arrived.
