Chapter 78 Top Ten in the Genius Battle? That's easy!
"He jumped! Senior 'Saint Master' has jumped to nine stars!"
"My goodness, even many domain lords couldn't do that, right?"
"Senior 'Saint Master' is at least a Realm Lord, or even an Immortal! He came to the Second Tier to find a disciple."
"Stop with the nonsense, keep your eyes glued to the screen. If the senior activates the challenge feature, be the first to do so."
On the Qianwu Continent, in the Slaughter Hall, small groups were all excited, many of them having been misled by the people from Black Dragon Mountain Island.
They all overlooked the fact that as long as one reaches the level of a Realm Lord, many Realm Lords with peak physical attributes at the Eternal Star level can also achieve this.
Rather than attributing the commotion to Zhou Ze, it would be more accurate to say that the instigators were the martial artists who had followed from Black Dragon Mountain.
One corner of the killing hall.
"What are these little guys so excited about?"
A middle-aged man with a patterned face walked toward a short man sitting on a sofa. The man had six arms.
The six-armed man said calmly, "Just a clown, hiring a large number of online trolls to stir up trouble—"
In the eyes of the six-armed man, any realm lord could easily reach the nine-star level in a short time, just like Zhou Ze, by going to a second-tier peak space.
Strong people have a sense of shame. Even a domain lord wouldn't deliberately go to the peak of the second tier just to be fawned over by a bunch of little brats. If someone familiar with him found out, he'd be laughed to death.
"They probably have some purpose," the middle-aged man with the patterned face said casually. "Let's go, let's go to the trial space."
"Um."
The six-armed man felt no lingering attachment to the sensation caused by Zhou Ze, because it wasn't worth his time.
Zhou Ze's consecutive leaps to the ninth star level seemed shocking, but to true powerhouses, it was nothing short of clownish behavior, especially among those from Black Dragon Mountain Island, who viewed it as Zhou Ze's hired hand deliberately stirring up trouble.
Of course, most powerful people would only glance at these troublemakers; for them, the most important thing was to improve their own strength or encounter something that concerned them.
"Nine stars!"
Seeing that his rating had reached nine stars, Zhou Ze paused, brought up the settings interface, first turned on Do Not Disturb, then opened Challenge, then Spectator, and selected Public and Free.
Instantly, countless notifications appeared in the bottom right corner.
Zhou Ze opened the challenge interface and scrolled down from top to bottom, discovering that in addition to the warriors from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, there were also a large number of warriors from other regions.
Zhou Ze pondered for a moment, then turned off the screen and exited the Peak Space.
The next moment, he appeared in the hall.
Instantly, they were stopped by a large group of young people who were waiting there. These people were as enthusiastic as die-hard fans who chase after celebrities. Most of them looked like people from the Heilongshan area, but there were also some young people from other areas.
Some of them were familiar faces, and many of them were people I had mentored.
"Senior, do you remember me? I'm Gus, the one who mentored me!"
"Senior 'Holy Master,' could you please take me as your disciple? My mom is very beautiful, and she's also a fan of yours. We're both fine together!"
"Senior, senior, since I followed you here, could you please give me some pointers?"
"Senior, could you please take me as your disciple?"
Moral blackmail is one thing, Zhou Ze knows they're fanatical about him, but who's this guy who snuck in? Is he that kind of person?
"I will consider selecting some people from Heilongjiang nationality to enter the Peak Space—"
Zhou Ze calmly said something, then immediately brought up the system interface and sent an email to the head of the killing field on the Qianwu Continent. He was about to log off to avoid these enthusiastic fans when his vision suddenly blurred, and the next moment he appeared in a meditation room.
Before him stood a middle-aged man with a silver face, somewhat resembling the image of Prometheus from the movies.
Zhou Ze, hailing as "Senior Wright," bowed respectfully.
"I've been watching you since the moment you stepped into the killing field of the Qianwu Continent." Wright's silver face revealed no expression.
Zhou Ze remained calm inside, but his face showed embarrassment as he said, "Ahem - I'm sorry, Senior Wright. I felt a little uneasy seeing how grand the Killing Fields of the Qianwu Continent were. I wanted to see what made it better than Black Dragon Mountain Island, so I didn't visit immediately."
"Can you tell the difference?" Wright asked calmly.
Zhou Ze laughed, "It's much bigger than Black Dragon Mountain Island, and the matchmaking speed is basically instantaneous!"
"I really like it here." Zhou Ze's words were sincere; he simply liked things to be fast-paced.
"So you don't like the killing field on Black Dragon Mountain Island? I'll have to have a word with that old codger Manluo about that." Wright said with a half-smile.
Birds of a feather flock together.
There's a reason why Wright and Manro became friends; they are clearly very similar in personality.
"Senior, I was wrong. I should have visited you as soon as I arrived here!" Zhou Ze said embarrassedly.
See people talking, see ghosts talking.
"Hmph!" Wright sneered, "You little brat, just like Manlu said, you're dishonest and a slippery character—"
Before he could finish speaking, Wright burst out laughing.
Zhou Ze looked slightly embarrassed and didn't say much. Wright was indeed not as serious as he seemed on the surface.
"Alright, I won't say anything more to you. The Genius Battle is over in a few years. Focus on your own strength and stop messing around with those empty gestures."
Wright said in a deep voice, "It's not difficult for you to get into the top 1,000 overall, but you should know that even within my virtual company, there's a gap between the top 1,000!"
"The Primordial Secret Realm, the Primordial Secret Realm, the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and the Apocalypse Secret Realm—the members of each of these four secret realms enjoy completely different treatments."
"Let's seize the time and work harder to try and get into the top ten."
After they finished speaking, an eerie silence fell between them.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Wright broke the silence, staring at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze smiled.
"Senior, you didn't tell me to leave."
Wright grumbled, "That old devil Manluo has quite a bit of faith in you—"
After scolding Manluo, Wright fell into deep thought. Finally, remembering something, he smiled slightly at Zhou Ze:
"Zhou Ze, are you waiting for my gift?"
Zhou Ze was taken aback, then Wright snorted, "What a show-off! No wonder that old codger Manluo values you so much."
Honestly, he really didn't know.
Wright's silver face revealed a smile: "I won't give you a greeting gift. If you can make it into the top ten of the Genius Battle rankings..."
Then I'll give you a big gift!
Top ten overall!
Zhou Ze looked pleased. Wasn't this a piece of cake? He could do it with his hands.
"What, you're not even confident about making it into the top ten? Then what's the point of practicing that secret technique combining two superior laws!" Wright raised an eyebrow at Zhou Ze with a slight smile, and said in a very ordinary tone, "No, I thought you were telling me to get first place, senior. Isn't getting into the top ten a piece of cake?"
"Heh—" Wright laughed in exasperation, shaking his head and saying, "Go ahead, I want to see how you manage to get into the top ten with such ease..."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Ze to take his leave, he teleported Zhou Ze away.
"This kid is pretty good. He's arrogant yet tactful, humble, and knows how to behave!"
He now understood why Manluo valued Zhou Ze so much.
Because these people live long lives, Zhou Ze returned to the killing hall without any worries or anxieties, or rather, he didn't take the gift Wright mentioned to heart.
It wasn't that he looked down on Wright's gift, but rather that it was just an ordinary immortal being, nothing particularly precious about it.
In terms of vision, even the founder of the giant axe in the entire Devouring world is not as broad as him, and of course, he is definitely more comprehensive than him!
"Please choose me, senior."
"senior-"
As soon as he returned to the hall, he was greeted by a group of young martial artists who were waiting there.
Zhou Ze smiled slightly, showing no impatience whatsoever: "Alright, let's begin now. It will be ten days from today."
Every day, one martial artist from Heilongshan will be selected.
"Senior! No, please! I came here after I found out about the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Could you give us a few spots too?"
Several martial artists from neighboring countries of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire hurriedly shouted.
Zhou Ze smiled faintly: "Sure, extend it for three days. The first person to be on the list during these three days will be from the country next to Heilongshan."
At this moment, those who knew Zhou Ze and had come from Black Dragon Mountain Island became excited, seemingly fantasizing about being chosen by Zhou Ze and successfully becoming his disciple.
Zhou Ze brought up the Peak Space interface, selected the Arena Master mode, set it up, and then disappeared from the spot the next moment.
"Thank you so much, 'Saint Master'!"
"Yes, he never put on airs and treated us all the same!"
"Our behavior was actually very offensive. It was only because the 'Holy Master' was kind-hearted and didn't blame us that we didn't do it again. But we can't do it like that again."
"Indeed, it would be terrible if the 'Holy Master' senior ignored us."
The martial artists from Black Dragon Mountain Island discussed among themselves, praising Zhou Ze's magnanimity, and also began to reflect on whether they had gone too far. Even if Zhou Ze did not blame them, they could not have done such a thing.
Second-tier peak spatial arena.
Zhou Ze stood on the arena, brought up the video interface, and was about to enter the nationality of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire in the nationality field of the challenger interface when he suddenly saw a name - Savage!
"Why did this guy get here? I wonder how strong he is now?"
Zhou Ze was slightly curious, so he clicked in to view the wild man's information and profile.
"That's pretty comprehensive—crossing the thresholds of the Laws of Space, Earth, and Light—why is there even a Law of Light?"
Zhou Ze was slightly surprised and continued reading:
"Nine Realms, Self-created Secret Technique, Unleash Your Power—"
"That's quite a lot. How come this savage revealed all his underwear in his profile? Is he that bold and confident?"
"I'm no match for him yet. I haven't been training long enough. I'll ignore him for now—"
"Holy crap, begging a senior to take me on as a disciple???"
Zhou Ze tapped his cheek with his index finger: "Where did this guy find out about me? He just wants to become my apprentice. Who tricked him into this?"
"Or is it that I'm so charming that my name is known throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom—"
Zhou Ze blinked, unable to understand no matter how hard he tried, and thankfully decided not to think about it.
He joined the Virtual Universe Company largely because of that large group of super geniuses who, in the entire human universe, are the most talented.
Through communication and guidance, we can gain their acceptance of our teaching methods, thereby enhancing their understanding and making it possible to take on apprentices.
Stop being funny.
He seized the opportunity to establish a master-disciple relationship while Luo Feng was still young. As for the other super geniuses of the same level in the Genius Battle, which one of them wasn't arrogant enough to take a young martial artist of the same age as him as their master?
I want to eat fart!
Rong Jun's talent and comprehension are truly enviable. If he accidentally slips up one day, he'll be doomed. "I absolutely cannot match with anyone again. If I were to match with this thing, or a powerful Domain Lord, or even a Realm Lord, my true colors would be revealed. Hmm, the probability is small, but I can't be careless!"
Out of sight, out of mind. Zhou Ze manipulated the situation so that the savage could apply to challenge him, but he himself could not see him.
