Chapter 126: Phantom Demon Galesi Instantly Kills Zhou Ze?
The rules for the arena battle are brutal. Based on the performance in the trial space and the three rounds of elimination battles, the virtual universe system directly selects the 100 best people to engage in one-on-one battles with the top 100 people in the trial space who first obtained a spot!
This means that the other 900 people are directly eliminated, without even the qualification to fight, and can only enter the apocalyptic secret realm!
This displeased many self-proclaimed geniuses, but their discontent could not shake the will of the Virtual Universe Company.
The next morning.
In the central square, 1000 exceptional geniuses gathered.
"Venerable One!"
In the distance, 1008 immortals respectfully bowed.
"Um."
The Nine Swords Venerable in the distance nodded slightly, then turned to look down at the 1000 young people:
"Today, we will select the top 100, the top 10, the first place, and the second place from among your 1000 people in one day."
"Are you all ready? ...Then let the final battle begin!"
The Nine Swords Venerable then waved his hand, and 100 huge arenas appeared directly in the central square, each with its edge covered by a black shroud of death.
The first 100 people to obtain a spot, and another 100 geniuses selected through the trial space and three rounds of elimination, for a total of 200 geniuses, will engage in one-on-one battles based on the matching system of the virtual universe.
There are two people in each arena.
What attracted the most attention from the immortals and the group of geniuses who were not qualified to participate was naturally the battle in which "Death God" Berlan participated, followed by Luo Feng and Tu Man. The attention paid to everyone else combined could not compare to these three.
The silver-white arena, spanning approximately ten kilometers in circumference, was entirely covered by a black net.
"An apprentice? How could someone who doesn't even dare to reveal their real name rank ninth in the trials!"
A burly young man with six arms stared coldly at Zhou Ze, his expression disdainful, attempting to provoke him.
"My trial ranking is 89! I'm just enjoying the battle. Now I'm going to show you, you coward, that trial ranking means nothing!"
Zhou Ze's face inside his helmet remained expressionless; he simply waited for the battle to begin, even wondering who Luo Feng and Tu Man would be matched with, and when he would be matched with Bo Lan.
"Not a single word of deception? Are you a coward? If you're a coward, just forfeit!" The six-armed boy laughed wildly.
[Battle Begins]
Just then, the countdown above their heads ended, and the universal phrase "Battle Begins" appeared.
"!"
With a thought, Zhou Ze sent out five golden rays from the dark golden staff behind him, which combined to form a golden illusion sword that shot toward the six-armed boy!
"Wow, that's fast!"
The six-armed boy looked surprised and quickly raised his six longswords to block in front of him.
boom!
A violent roar resounded, and the six-armed youth felt as if all six of his arms had broken off. He was sent flying backward, spitting out blood.
At the same time, the golden phantom sword that had knocked the six-armed boy away paused slightly, tilted its direction, and with almost no change in speed, swept directly across his neck.
"puff!"
The six-armed boy's head rolled to the ground, blood splattering everywhere!
"Such speed! Such power!"
The six-armed boy was incredulous; was this the strength of the top ten?
Zhou Ze remained calm. After defeating his opponent, he stood on the arena, glanced around, and noticed that Bo Lan, Luo Feng, Tu Man, and the others had all defeated their opponents in an instant, just like him.
"Congratulations to the youngsters standing on the arena." The Nine Swords Master stood in mid-air, looking down at the 1000 young men and women on the arena:
"First of all, congratulations on making it into the top 100. You are eligible to enter my Virtual Universe Company's 'Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth.' Now, we need to select the top 20 among you."
"Based on the selection criteria of the virtual universe system, I will submit a list of 20 people."
Immediately, most of the 100 young geniuses who had just won on the stage became nervous. Although they had won, only 20 of them were qualified to fight the next round.
"Berlan!"
The Nine Swords Master began announcing the list of 20 people.
"Luo Feng!"
"Rong Jun!"
..
As names were announced one by one, those whose names weren't called couldn't hide their disappointment. They were all victors, yet only 20 could participate in the next battle!
"The 20 people selected by the virtual universe system are the same 20 people I previously reported," the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile.
"Please have these 20 people rest and recover from the previous battle. The next battle will be scheduled in a while. As for who your opponents are, you will find out during the battle."
A group of young men and women sat casually in the central square.
"Congratulations, Candita, on breaking into the top 100!"
"Don't even mention it. Although I made it into the top 100, I wasn't even on the final 20 list." The burly Candita looked regretful and resentful.
Although everyone on that list of 20 is a master, I'm not entirely confident. But I'm still unwilling to give up until I actually fight.
"Same here. I didn't expect that the final stage would also be chosen by the virtual universe system. If I had known, I would have gone all out. Maybe I could have been selected—"
Compared to those young men who didn't need to fight, they talked casually.
The 20 people who were selected and would later be chosen to be the top ten quietly settled down in a corner.
About half an hour later.
"Boom!"
The central square trembled, and ten giant arenas gradually rose in the center of the square. The arenas were also covered with a large number of black silk strips. At the same time, Zhou Ze and the other twenty people who were resting were instantly teleported into these ten giant arenas.
"Depend on!"
"A terrible tragedy! That Blood Axe 'Tao' was matched against Death 'Bolan'!"
"Everyone was guessing who would be the unluckiest to run into Berlan, but it turned out to be Tao. Poor guy."
"Lancelot and Opatitra are pretty unlucky; they got matched up with Luo Feng and Rong Jun!"
"Indeed, encountering any of these three is pretty unlucky!"
In the central square, a group of geniuses who were not qualified to participate in the battle chatted happily.
"This apprentice is really unlucky! He actually ran into the Phantom Demon Galesi!"
Besides Bolan, Luo Feng, and Tu Man, the other most attention-grabbing person is naturally Galesi.
"The Illusion Demon didn't even lift a finger in any of the battles; he defeated his opponents simply by staring at them. This apprentice probably can't withstand that!"
"Hmm, this Illusion Demon is the most terrifying mentalist and illusionist in this year's Genius Battle, extremely effective against martial artists. However, this apprentice is also a mentalist controller, so he might be able to hold out for a while."
"This illusion demon is extremely terrifying. While casting illusions, he can also use psychic weapons for simple ranged attacks. No one has been able to force him to use psychic weapons until now!"
On the arena.
On one side was a tall, slender figure standing on a black halo, shrouded in a black robe.
On one side was a person wearing a light blue Force suit, whose entire body was enveloped in the mecha formed by the Force suit.
"I never expected to be matched with someone who was originally Luo Feng's opponent!" Zhou Ze smiled slightly from inside the armor.
"An apprentice?" Phantom Demon Galesi said in a hoarse, low voice, "It's a pity you ran into me. If you had been ranked with someone else, you might have had a chance to break into the top ten!"
Zhou Ze remained silent. He wanted to keep a low profile, but he still wanted to be in the top ten, as long as he didn't rank alongside Bolan, Luo Feng, and Tu Man.
The illusionary demon Galesi looked at him with pity, unaware that he was the one who was truly pitiful.
Of all people to be assigned to, it had to be someone like him, a cultivator whose mental state has reached the third level and whose heart is infinitely vast, who could completely miss his prized illusion techniques.
Without the illusion's effect, even the top twenty geniuses, and many others who weren't even qualified to participate, could easily defeat this illusion demon, Galesi.
Illusion magic has too many limitations. Once it loses its effectiveness, it's like a soldier on the battlefield who has lost his weapon and is left with nothing but hand-to-hand combat.
"The winners will make it into the top ten. Kids, don't be careless, your opponents are all very strong."
The Nine Swords Venerable spoke from afar, his voice echoing in everyone's ears:
"Then, let the battle begin—"
Almost simultaneously, battles erupted on all ten arenas!
The Illusionary Demon Galesi, riding a black halo, had cold, piercing eyes.
「喻
An invisible wave of psychic energy instantly reached Zhou Ze and invaded his mind. This pure psychic energy traveled at a speed comparable to or even exceeding the speed of light, making it unavoidable.
As he cast the illusion, the Illusion Demon Galesi waved his hand, and the black halo beneath his feet instantly transformed into a beam of black light, slashing directly at Zhou Ze's head in the distance.
the first time!
In the arena battle, the Illusion Demon Galesi used "Mental Illusion" and "Psychic Weapon" simultaneously for the first time!
This shows that Phantom Demon Galesi also attaches great importance to Zhou Ze, who is among the top 20, and is far less arrogant than he appeared in his earlier words.
Seeing Zhou Ze standing motionless, the Illusion Demon Galesi sneered inwardly, "This level of strength actually allows him to squeeze into the top twenty? How lucky!"
"puff!"
In the eyes of the Phantom Demon Galesi, the black light transformed from his telekinetic weapon pierced directly through Zhou Ze's head, slicing it in two. Then, with a "thud," Zhou Ze's body fell limply to the ground.
"So easy!"
The Phantom Demon Galesi's lips curled into a smile.
At this moment, he could even imagine the audience outside the ring cheering and marveling at him. After all, as a fellow top 20, how could Phantom Demon Galesi not be shocked that he could kill his opponent in an instant?
