362: Determination!

Inside the dedicated conference hall of Building 0825.

Chen Fan and a group of warriors who advanced to the next round listened to Lord Jin Dan's instructions.

"Although you all performed exceptionally well this time, remember not to become arrogant. After all, among the geniuses who advanced, there might be some methods to counter each other. The Trial Tower ranking only reflects a part of your true combat power."

Lord Jin Dan looked at everyone and spoke earnestly.

In his many years of experience, it wasn't uncommon for individuals to suffer crushing defeats after advancing.

The Universe is too vast; anything can happen.

"Yes, Lord!" x18

A unified chorus of replies sounded, and he nodded slightly, his face filled with satisfaction.

Then, Lord Jin Dan's gaze fell upon Chen Fan, Ma Liang, and a few others.

To be honest, he truly admired these young geniuses like Chen Fan.

Because of their existence, his Qianwu Universe Country and the Country Lord gained significant prestige.

But despite this, he would still sound a warning for Chen Fan, making him deeply remember that arrogant soldiers are bound to lose.

"Chen Fan, Ma Liang, although you two have reached the top of the overall rankings, you must never become too arrogant!"

"Do you understand?" Lord Jin Dan's voice carried a faint pressure, imposing without anger.

"If you think you are very strong and can sweep through all the geniuses, then you are gravely mistaken."

Then, Lord Jin Dan intensified his tone and began to lecture them from various angles for an hour until the instruction finally concluded.

"Alright, you all rest well today and prepare for the final battle that will take place next!"

"Although the top one hundred of you do not need to participate in the elimination rounds, the final arena battle requires you to unleash your full power without any reservations!"

"Yes!"

...The next day, under the organization of Ninesword Exalt, the battle for the remaining 900 spots in the core layer of the virtual company began.

The rules were simple.

Under the Virtual Universe system's arrangement, 7,200 people would battle in pairs, and those who won three consecutive matches would advance.

Then, 7,200 elite geniuses were teleported to the arena, commencing the most brutal qualification competition.

In contrast, Chen Fan's group of top one hundred peak geniuses only needed to quietly await the outcome of these 7,200 individuals to determine who would qualify for the final arena.

That would be the most intense part of the battle.

In the stands, Chen Fan and Ma Liang, along with other geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Country, sat together, while the advanced geniuses from other Universe Countries also sat in their respective groups.

The divisions were clear!

However, their occasional glances carried intense fighting spirit.

Especially the prince from Manka Star, Wuka, whose gaze towards Chen Fan was an outright provocation, as if he was waiting for a grand battle with Chen Fan.

In response, Chen Fan always offered a slight smile.

This made Prince Wuka of Manka Star feel as if he was punching cotton, a sense of powerlessness.

Not only him, but some other geniuses from different Universe Countries also looked at Chen Fan with interest.

These continuously advancing geniuses all possessed their own arrogance.

Despite their less-than-ideal Trial Tower results, they were extremely confident in their actual combat power... Half an hour later, the first round of eliminations concluded, leaving 3,600 geniuses.

Immediately following was the second round of qualification eliminations.

Another half of the 3,600 geniuses were eliminated, leaving 1,800.

In less than three minutes, 1,800 geniuses were eliminated.

Among these 1,800 geniuses, everyone's fighting spirit was like a dragon, their eyes eagerly scanning the hundred people currently acting as spectators on the platform.

Sooner or later, they too would sit in that position.

But before that, they needed to eliminate their third-round opponents.

Before the third round of eliminations began, the rest period arrived.

After the remaining 1,800 elite geniuses had recuperated, the final third round of eliminations would commence... Swish, swish, swish!

As figures appeared in the Central Square, the third round had also concluded.

At this point, one thousand elite geniuses had all gathered.

"Congratulations to you all!"

A grand and deep voice resounded.

Then, Ninesword Exalt, as per custom, announced the number of slots and allocation for the four great Mystical Regions.

Without any surprises, ranks 101-1000 would enter the Doomsday Secret Realm.

Ranks 11-100 would enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

Ranks 4-10 would enter the Highest Beginning Mythical Region.

As for the highest-tier Primitive Mystical Region, it had 3 available slots.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as the four great Mystical Regions were mentioned, all the geniuses immediately let out exclamations.

Clearly, these geniuses were also very familiar with these Mystical Regions.

"Hmm!?" Hearing Ninesword Exalt's words, Chen Fan's brows furrowed slightly.

This was somewhat inconsistent with the original plot's direction!

However, Chen Fan quickly came to terms with it.

His appearance was the biggest variable, triggering one butterfly effect after another.

Thinking this, Chen Fan's gaze swept over Ma Liang, Wang Teng, Hong, and Luo Feng, a slight curve forming on his lips.

These, perhaps, were his greatest contributions.

Once these Earth elites grew, then they would truly be strong.

"Work hard, everyone. The rankings for the final arena battle have been sent to your inboxes. After a good rest, the battles will begin tomorrow."

After speaking, Ninesword Exalt in his cyan battle robe departed directly.

Chen Fan merely glanced at the rules and understood them.

It was still a one-on-one arena battle, with the winner advancing, meaning they would upgrade from a fourth-tier Mystical Region to a third-tier Mystical Region.

Then, the top one hundred would enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, the top ten would enter the Highest Beginning Mythical Region, and the top three would enter the Primitive Mystical Region.

However, Chen Fan also noticed the unfairness of these rules.

The top one hundred who qualified from the Trial Tower would compete with the top 100 who fought their way out of the 7,200 geniuses for advancement slots.

As for the remaining eight hundred, they were directly thrown into the Doomsday Secret Realm.

Such rules indeed caused objections from many geniuses.

However, such objections were quickly quelled by the Undying ones... Chen Fan, however, had no objections to this arrangement.

He clearly understood how much pressure the high-level human authorities bore under such a grand cosmic trend.

Making choices most beneficial to the race had almost become their responsibility.

Therefore, to become a high-level human authority with decision-making power, one could only climb higher and higher.

Breaking through to World Lord, stepping into Undying, until becoming a Universe Exalt or even a stronger existence... Chen Fan silently drew a grand vision for himself in his heart.

At the same time, he was filled with anticipation for this final selection battle.

Fighting spirit and hot blood surged rapidly within Chen Fan's chest.

He absolutely had to secure one of the three Primitive Mystical Region qualifications.

Only then could he obtain the best resources and assistance for his subsequent growth.

This battle is for himself alone!!!
