Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

May 16, 2066, China Calendar.

This day marked the gathering for the Ganwu Universe Country preliminaries. Over 820 billion Star-level participants congregated on the Ganwu Continent within the Virtual Universe.

On the vast and boundless Ganwu Continent, more than eight hundred billion individuals gathered in small groups, engaging in lively discussions.

"The World Region Preliminaries will be divided into 100 World Regions.

I've been assigned to Region 72, what about you guys?" Hong glanced at his assigned World Region.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "I'm in Region 1."

"Region 1, that's a good omen!" Lei Shen chuckled as he looked at Luo Feng, then rubbed his bald head.

"Unlike me, Region 54, this number isn't very auspicious!"

"54? That's extremely auspicious for you!" Yang Wu looked at Lei Shen, speaking with a profound undertone.

"I'm in Region 88."

"Attention everyone, this preliminary elimination will be divided into one hundred World Regions. We will soon commence a collective teleportation to your respective assigned World Regions. Please take this time to inspect your equipment."

A clear and bright voice echoed throughout the entire continent.

Yang Wu checked his equipment: a second-tier red and black battle suit, an ordinary third-tier long spear, a fifth-tier Origin Force weapon, the Scarlet Edge Spear, and a spatial ring, where he stored his weapons when not in use.

"Collective teleportation commencing soon, countdown: 60 59 58..." The clear voice reverberated across the entire continent. "Wishing everyone, great fortune!" Yang Wu whispered.

Lei Shen laughed heartily: "Good luck, good luck!"

"Brother Yang, let's see who ranks the highest!" Luo Feng looked at Yang Wu with a fiery gaze, his eyes full of competitive spirit.

"Just act according to the plan!" Yang Wu immediately stopped him.

Maintain a low profile to develop first, then make a high-profile appearance.

This was the strategy they had prepared in advance before the Genius Battle, as what they needed most was time.

"

"Teleport!"

As soon as the clear voice faded, everyone on the entire continent vanished. The Peak Genius Battle, this grand event encompassing all Universe Countries, officially began at this moment.

As a grand event for the entire human race, from the lofty undying deities to the ordinary Universe citizens in the Virtual Universe Network,

everyone was paying attention to this grand event at this moment.

World Region 88.

This was a large mountain range, and Yang Wu's figure appeared out of thin air on the mountainside.

"Such astonishing gravity, approximately 30,000 times that of Earth!"

Yang Wu stretched his body. The intense gravity made him, who had spent a long time on Earth, feel somewhat unaccustomed.

He raised his wrist. There was a screen on the wrist guard of his left hand, which automatically received various messages transmitted by the organizer, the Virtual Universe Company.

Participant: Yang Wu (Ganwu Universe Country)

Points:

Ranking: N/A World Region: 88th World Region.

The preliminary elimination round will last for 30 days, and the winners will be determined by ranking based on points at the end.

Yang Wu's 88th World Region imitated a large mountain forest, with the mountain range stretching for millions of kilometers.

The hardness of the soil, trees, and other materials was adjusted to B9 grade. After all, every participant's physical fitness was at the Star-level ninth rank. If it were on an ordinary planet, a Star-level ninth rank powerhouse could easily destroy a city.

B9 grade hardness materials were sufficient to withstand the month-long slaughter of over 82 billion Star-level ninth ranks. Otherwise, this virtual world would be leveled in a few days.

Scoring rules: Kill a player to get one point, and also get half of the opponent's points. After death, the preliminary stops and half of the points are lost.

"Mental power can only spread 800 meters."

Although Yang Wu was not a Spiritualist, this body provided by the Virtual Universe Company had the same Star-level ninth rank physical fitness and mental power.

Simple mental power detection was still very easy to operate, but restricted by this powerful gravity, the mental power of a Star-level 9th rank could only spread about 800 meters.

"The mountain forest environment is not conducive to hiding, which is very beneficial to me.

But it has to wait until the later stage, after the fighting is almost over, killing one person can easily increase millions or thousands of points."

The entire preliminary will last for a month. Now everyone has just entered the World Region, although the number of people is very dense,

the points gained by killing opponents are only the most basic one point.

"

While Yang Wu was still thinking, a series of rumbles suddenly came from afar.

82 billion people were teleported to a World Region at the same time. Such a dense crowd was destined to have countless cruel slaughters.

After a short period of exploration and preparation, battles broke out everywhere in the World Region. Various rumbles appeared everywhere in the mountains.

Yang Wu got up and quickly ran towards the source of the rumble. "Let me see, which group of cuties is it!"

The mountain where Yang Wu was located.

At the foot of the mountain, a battle that originally involved two people easily drew in more and more people in a short time, until it became a chaotic battle of thousands of people.

Streaks of saber light and sword shadows flashed in the air. Trees collapsed on the ground, dust flew, and there were broken corpses everywhere.

Suddenly.

Everyone who was fighting stopped at the same time and looked up at the figure in the sky. It was a man wearing a red and black battle suit.

Silently overlooking and watching them.

"Hey, you ignorant thing up there, hurry up and get down here."

One of the strong men shouted loudly. Everyone was at the Star-level ninth rank, so why were you so arrogant?

"Heh, Sun Devour!"

A red light flashed in Yang Wu's eyes, and raging flames ignited on the surface of his body. He instantly transformed into a huge fireball and smashed directly to the ground.

"Boom!"

In the mountain range, accompanied by an earth-shattering loud noise, billowing smoke rose into the air like an overwhelming dust storm. The shock wave caused by the explosion swept in all directions.

Trees collapsed, and rocks flew.

In the thick smoke, a round of fiery red sun slowly rose, then quickly contracted until it disappeared, and Yang Wu reappeared in the sky.

"This secret technique is really easy to use!"

Yang Wu checked, and only one-tenth of his Origin Force was consumed. He couldn't help but admire it.

Who said warriors were not good at group battles? His Ninefold Flame Domain, coupled with the Sun Devour secret technique, wasn't it a proper wave-clearing ultimate move?

Suddenly, the screen on Yang Wu's wrist vibrated sharply, and Yang Wu's ranking jumped.

Participant: Yang Wu (Ganwu Universe Country)

Points: 1795

Ranking: 1

"Flapping flapping ~~~"

Just as Yang Wu was checking his ranking, the participants who saw this scene in the distance instantly fled the mountain like startled birds, panicking and fleeing far away from Yang Wu.

Too scary!

It was really too scary. With just one move, he wiped out more than 1,000 people. The scene of the round of the great sun slowly rising really scared them.

He's simply a monster!

How could they be so unlucky to encounter such a monster as soon as they entered the World Cup.
