354: Lord of Nine Swords!

Suddenly, the noisy square was as if a pause button had been pressed, and everything fell silent.

Everyone looked over in unison, and from within Building 0001, a handsome young man with a blood-red longsword on his back emerged.

His face, as cold and chilling as an iceberg, seemed to say 'you owe me eight million'.

Following this, his icy gaze swept across the square, passing over many people, and after lingering on Wang Teng and Ma Liang for a moment, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

Finally, the handsome young man’s gaze landed on Chen Fan: “You are ‘God of Slaughter’ Chen Fan, I’ve heard much about you!”

In that instant, a sharp glint flashed and vanished in Bolan’s eyes.

Chen Fan silently took in this scene and did not say much.

As early as after the first selection round of the Peak Genius Battle, he had already thoroughly familiarized himself with all the top talents of the 1008 Universe Country.

Whether it was Death God Bolan from the Noah Universe Country or Prince Wuka from Manka Star, Chen Fan had firmly kept them in mind.

Therefore, upon their first meeting, Chen Fan already knew the identity of this blood-sword youth—

Death God Bolan!!!

“Death God Bolan, I look forward to fighting you!” Chen Fan replied with a smile.

“The first place, I will take it!” Death God Bolan still maintained an extremely dominant demeanor.

When he said this, there was no emotional fluctuation on his face, as if he was stating a fact.

Compared to the more enthusiastic and lively Chen Fan, Bolan was more like an iceberg of a person!

“This time, first place might not be exclusively yours!” Chen Fan stared intently at this super expert, who ranked among the top few million talents, and said in a low voice.

“Because—”

“I want this first place!”

After speaking, Chen Fan and Bolan exchanged glances, then both smiled faintly before parting ways.

Watching the Death God leisurely depart, black and red flames faintly burned in Chen Fan’s eyes.

“‘Death God’ Bolan!”

“Prince of Manka Star!”

“‘Guang Jian’ Ai Chen!”

“...”

Chen Fan murmured these names in his heart, his fighting spirit continuously surging.

With so many talents gathered, he craved a battle!

Death God Bolan’s comprehension of the Space Origin Laws far surpassed that of an ordinary World Lord.

It was even very likely that his understanding of space was very close to his Heavenly Demon Race Clone’s.

Although he was only an Astral Rank martial artist, he had already been recognized by many powerful beings as a super genius destined to become an Undying.

He was also the most formidable genius to emerge in humanity in the past several hundred thousand years.

“You have comprehended the ‘Myriad Line Flow’ to the fourth level, while I have a very, very deep understanding of the ‘Time Restriction’. I truly look forward to fighting you.”

Even though it was just a brief encounter, Chen Fan already felt his blood boiling.

He wanted to compete against such a genius martial artist!

...“Brother, who do you think is stronger, Death God or God of Slaughter?” In a corner of the square, a beautiful young girl named ‘Qianshui’ with long, green, wavy hair asked.

“They are both extremely outstanding. Without a fight, I wouldn’t know who is stronger, but I am more optimistic about Chen Fan, this monstrous talent who has comprehended the four great Origin Laws!” The young man, also with long green hair, looked at Chen Fan: “Just an Astral Rank, yet he has comprehended the four great Origin Laws of ‘Water, Fire, Metal, and Time’ to a degree beyond ordinary people. I even wonder if he is truly human!”

“And those people around him, don’t just see them as followers of God of Slaughter; in reality, several of them are even more formidable than us siblings.”

“For example, ‘God of War’ Ma Liang, ‘Gun Demon’ Wang Teng, ‘Madman’ Luo Feng...”

“They are all very strong!”

“So, we have so many opponents!” The girl nodded: “But we won’t give up either!”

This pair of peerless geniuses from a mysterious planet felt a strong sense of crisis as they watched Chen Fan and his group enter the dining hall... Inside Restaurant Number One, many great beings were still discussing animatedly.

As time passed, the Undying beings leading the teams from the 1008 Universe Country also arrived one by one.

“Look, Death God and God of Slaughter met! The scene almost ignited!”

“One is a genius, ‘Bolan’, who has such a profound understanding of the Space Origin Laws, and the other is a rising dark horse whose comprehension of several types of Origin Laws is no less than Bolan’s, perhaps even surpassing it. It truly is a battle worth anticipating!”

“In my opinion, this genius called ‘God of Slaughter’ has gone a bit astray. His comprehension of the Time Origin Laws provides almost zero promotion for other types of Origin Laws. He might as well have focused on cultivating space.”

“Yes, indeed. Greediness leads to indigestion. In the future, on the path to becoming an Undying or a Universe Exalt, he is bound to encounter many, many difficulties and setbacks.”

“I agree with that point!”

“...”

A group of Undying-level beings, their discussions revolved around Chen Fan and Bolan.

After all, these two were the most outstanding geniuses of this generation; once they stepped into Undying, they were bound to become terrifying King-level Immortal beings.

“Everyone, you’re all so happy!”

Suddenly—

A resonant voice echoed in Restaurant Number One. The expressions of the Undying beings immediately became solemn, as if they were welcoming someone.

Then, in the hall, a man in plain green clothes slowly materialized. His handsome face was covered with a layer of purple scales, and his eyes were as deep as swirling galaxies.

He simply stood there, and he involuntarily became the focal point for everyone.

Clatter, clatter, clatter!!!

Following this, there was a sound of chairs and tables shifting.

All the Undying present stood up, facing the man in green clothes and purple scales with respectful expressions, and simultaneously said: “Ninesword Exalt!”

“Hm!”

The man nodded slightly.

His gaze calmly swept over the Undying beings present, and he said frankly: “This time, our Virtual Universe Corporation is hosting the Genius Battle, and I thank all the Universe Countries for your strong support!”

“No thanks are needed, Exalt, this is what we should do!”

Upstairs and downstairs, voices of Undying beings echoed.

“That’s good!”

“You all continue chatting, I will go meet those young geniuses!” Ninesword Exalt said with a smile.

Once he turned and left, the 1007 Undying beings resumed their discussions.

“The organizer this time is actually Ninesword Exalt! It is rumored that hundreds of thousands of epochs ago, he was also the top talent of that Peak Genius Battle, and now he has become such a powerful being!”

“You know, at that time, the Exalt’s influence was much greater than that little fellow Bolan’s!”

“Later, the Exalt went from strength to strength, becoming a King-level Immortal, and even later breaking through to an Exalt. He’s much more formidable than these youngsters!”

These Undying sighed with emotion.

They clearly knew in their hearts that these geniuses had excellent talent, but which of those who became Undying wasn’t born with extraordinary talent?

It’s just that on the path to becoming an Undying, there are too many hardships; luck, talent, and even perseverance... none are dispensable!
