175: Become the top

Allison's performance shocked the audience.

Indeed, one should never jump to conclusions before anything is settled.

There are always dark horses, and restraint is everywhere; who dares to claim invincibility, and who dares to claim an undefeated record?

........

Lin Ye VS Qing Feng

This match had no suspense.

Qing Feng simply couldn't stop Lin Ye; with Lin Ye's Soul Guard skill and the protection of Undying Soul, Qing Feng couldn't break through Lin Ye's Soul defense in a short time.

Lin Ye, relying on the Wormhole, teleported next to Qing Feng, grabbed her, and then performed a 'Maiden-Embrace Kill'—a variant of Star Guard, Star Cage.

Qing Feng still wanted to struggle, but her basic attributes were too far behind, and she was countered by Lin Ye once he got close.

This match was also the quickest to end.

The subsequent matches were also without suspense.

The Poisonous Freak Allison indeed had a way to deal with domains, but Lin Ye wasn't one-sided; even if his Star Domain was gone, Allison couldn't stop him from pummeling him with his fists. The thick-skinned, fast-recovering Allison could indeed endure, but he still couldn't hold up under Lin Ye's Star Force healing reduction effect.

The Star Force healing reduction effect had always been there, but he rarely encountered opponents who needed to be worn down, so it had always been inconspicuous, yet it proved useful today.

Finally, the results of the competition were out: Lin Ye was the undisputed top rank, followed by William, Qing Feng, Allison, and Cadillac.

Because Qing Feng did not defeat William, even though she had the same number of wins as William, she had to settle for third place.

Poor Cadillac, he didn't win a single match, despite being so strong.

There was nothing he could do; he was strong, but the others were even stronger.

When the results were announced, the entire audience cheered.

The grand celebration began.

Louis and Carl hosted everything, and secretly, the Galaxy Territory's Galaxy Guardians had already been mobilized.

The Universe was not a unified entity; it was in chaos.

There were many forces hostile to the Galaxy Alliance, and in previous years, they had caused quite a few troubles.

......

“Lin Ye first?” Yang Hongyu felt everything was magical.

He still vaguely remembered his advice to Lin Ye: just do your best, it's okay to lose, you're still young anyway.

He just wanted Lin Ye to show his talent; after all, showing talent wasn't only about getting a spot.

“Mr. Yang Hongyu, right? Your race's promotion application has entered the express lane; we'll process it for you immediately.” A group of enthusiastic New Radiance City office workers suddenly surrounded Yang Hongyu.

Yang Hongyu was stunned.

“Mr. Yang, your human race is truly strong; you actually produced a genius like Mr. Lin Ye.”

“Who was blind enough to hold up your procedures? What an idiot.”

“Come, come, these are New Radiance City's specialty refreshments. Please take a seat, we'll handle the rest of the process for you.”

Yang Hongyu felt how wonderful the world was.

As a Star Domain Level powerhouse, the clerks were respectful to him, but not to the extent of fawning, as New Radiance City and the Galaxy Territory stood behind them.

But as the leader of the hometown of the top-ranked individual in the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, the meaning was different.

Every disciple of a Galaxy Lord was his eyes, and direct disciples were even given the title of Inspector, possessing supreme authority.

And Lin Ye, anyone who slightly understood previous disciple recruitments would know that Lin Ye would certainly become a direct disciple, becoming that high-ranking Inspector.

If he angered his ethnic group, just finding a small issue could make the office overwhelmed.

“This feeling isn't bad.” Yang Hongyu smiled, leisurely savoring his drink, and at the same time, felt a sense of pride.

.......

The celebration was in full swing, while secretly, a group of ill-intentioned individuals conspired.

“Damn it, how did the Galaxy produce so many geniuses again?”

“One White Seven, one Feng, both are Master-level beings born under the Galaxy Lord, plus the Galaxy Lord, a top-tier Master, how are we forces supposed to survive?”

“Are we going to do this job or not?”

Representatives from multiple forces fell silent.

Some were cosmic pirates, some were anti-Galaxy Alliance, some were from star systems around the Galaxy; the forces were mixed, but they had one common characteristic: they didn't want the Galaxy to thrive.

“It's difficult. Our preparations aren't sufficient this time; it's impossible to succeed.”

“Yeah, and this is the Galaxy Lord's home base, the Galaxy Territory. Let's just forget it.”

Everyone was downcast; it seemed they could only give up this time.

“Demon God Cult......”

.......

After the celebration, a huge spaceship arrived, guarded by dense ranks of Galaxy Guardians.

“Everyone, please board the spaceship,” Louis and Carl said.

After the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, all the geniuses would be transported to the Galaxy Lord's location and would not return to their ethnic groups. If they wanted to contact their ethnic groups, they could do so through the virtual world.

This policy was adopted for their own good, as geniuses who passed the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony were thorns in the side of hostile forces in the Galaxy; once they matured, they would all become leaders of a region.

Therefore, to protect these young saplings, the Galaxy Lord would train them for a thousand years. Then, non-direct disciples would be sent back to their ethnic groups or enter the forces within the Galaxy Territory.

Direct disciples were different; if they wished, they could follow the Galaxy Lord for life, becoming closer than even the Galaxy Lord's own family.

One hundred geniuses boarded the spaceship.

Lin Ye felt a bit reluctant; once he left, he didn't know how many years it would be. Blue Star, may you be well.

He thought that with his performance, Blue Star should be able to smoothly enter a Level 10 civilization and connect to the virtual world.

Then they could contact each other through the virtual world.

The reason the virtual world must be entered by group is because the universe is too vast, and there are too many individuals. If it were registered by strength, how much effort would that take? The strong change too quickly, so the Mechanical Clan adopted a unified authorization measure.

Once a group reaches the required level, their group information will be recorded, and they can buy light brains on their own; if they want to enter, they save money to buy one.

With two thresholds, it wouldn't be accessible to just anyone; after all, a Level 10 civilization still had the price of a light brain in galaxy coins, which was not something just anyone could afford.

The hundred people were assigned to different rooms. The spaceship's facilities were complete, not inferior to the outside world, and even surpassed it.

A group of classmates frequently moved around; these were future connections. Each of them, after leaving, would be a big shot in a certain force.

Lin Ye was not averse to such networking activities; he was also the most watched person in the entire venue.

As the discussions deepened, everyone was surprised that this super genius actually came from a force that had just reached Level 10 civilization.

Incredible, unbelievable.

“Lin Ye, are you kidding me?” William was the first to lose his patience. What kind of joke was this?

“Here, take a look, my newly opened virtual account.” Lin Ye selectively showed his virtual account information to William.

Race: Blue Star Human (... years of virtual world qualification.)

Blue Star successfully entered Level 10 civilization and opened virtual world access, and Lin Ye was Blue Star's number one.
