"Lady Janet, could you tell me... how you managed to end the qualifiers in just one day?"
Seeing that Lin Hao kept talking nonsense, Ai Chen chose to probe indirectly.
She did study the video, but found that she couldn't understand it at all.
"Huh? Specifically—"
Janet blushed instantly.
Should I tell her that I didn't know anything and that I was just here for tourism?
Fortunately, Qian Shui and Jiang Mo approached, rescuing Janet from the predicament.
"Brother Lin Hao, could you tell me how you made the rain curtain so lethal?"
"Qian Shui has also crossed the threshold of the fundamental law of water, but she is completely unable to make every raindrop a nightmare for the enemy."
"elder brother!"
Qian Shui's green markings glowed slightly with embarrassment and annoyance as she met Lin Hao's smiling gaze. "Lord Lin Hao, I apologize for my brother's abruptness..."
"What's the big deal? If you want to learn, I'll teach you later!"
The group, who were having a pleasant conversation, suddenly flew towards the center of the square like zombies.
Lin Hao then realized that a voice had invaded his consciousness.
"All contestants from the 1008 Universe Country, gather at the central square!"
However, he didn't become so confused that he lost consciousness, offered no resistance, and allowed himself to be controlled.
In the blink of an eye!
Almost instantly!
A massive formation composed of over a million cosmic geniuses suddenly appeared on the designated central plaza.
Only now did these geniuses, who had been temporarily guided from various places, regain consciousness.
"what happened?"
"Why did you suddenly come to the square?"
"Strange, I was just in my room, how did I end up here?"
……
A sense of doubt and shock spread like ripples among the millions of geniuses.
Having just awakened from their unconscious state, their faces were filled with astonishment.
Just then, the majestic figures of thousands of immortal gods leading the formation appeared in front of the square formation.
Their expressions were solemn, and the mere unintentional release of their aura of law instantly silenced the millions of restless hearts.
"Everyone..."
A gentle yet clear voice suddenly resounded in the ears of every genius.
Everyone suddenly looked up.
In the previously empty space ahead, the space rippled slightly, and a figure dressed in a simple blue battle robe appeared out of thin air.
His head was covered with mysterious, purple-glowing scales. Just by standing still in the air, the vast aura he exuded filled all living beings present with awe, as if they had seen a god who ruled over the stars.
This is clearly an unparalleled being who transcends immortality and truly controls the fundamental mysteries of the universe!
"Welcome to the pinnacle talent event hosted by Virtual Universe Corporation."
The venerable one in the green robe had eyes as vast as ancient stars as he swept over the densely packed figures below. His voice remained gentle as ever, “You come from 1,008 vast cosmic kingdoms, each selecting a thousand outstanding individuals. Gathered here are young heroes who have traversed millions of galaxies.”
His words were clear and unambiguous: "The company will select the top 1,000 from among you to become the fresh blood of the core team."
"Out of a million geniuses, only a thousand will ultimately be selected! To be among them, you must prove your worth."
The Venerable One paused for a moment, then announced, "Tomorrow will mark the beginning of the trials. Each person will be assigned an independent 'trial space.' Inside the space are seven interconnected trial towers."
“Starting from the first tower, we will proceed step by step until all seven levels of the trial tower have been completed before moving on to the next tower… until you ‘fail’.”
The Venerable One's voice carried an unquestionable authority, "Ultimately, your performance in conquering the Trial Tower will be the sole measure of your worth—your points!"
"Based on the scores,"
The Venerable One continued to announce the rules, "The top one hundred people will directly obtain core-level qualifications."
"Following closely behind, the 7,200 geniuses ranked from 101st to 7300th will enter the second round of competition to compete for the remaining 900 precious spots."
"And everyone ranked after 7300... was eliminated and had no chance of advancing!"
This brutal elimination ratio froze the hearts of every genius in the square like ice.
Most of the young powerhouses from the Cosmic Kingdom lost their initial excitement or arrogance, replaced by unparalleled pressure.
After the Venerable One finished speaking, his figure quietly disappeared.
These million geniuses, whose minds had been hammered by the rules, silently returned to their assigned buildings to rest, filled with a mixture of tension, anxiety, and even deeper longing.
……
The next morning.
"All geniuses, please prepare yourselves. We will soon be conducting a mass teleportation, sending all participants to their respective trial spaces."
A clear and melodious sound echoed throughout the entire dimensional space.
"Remember, the first trial tower shouldn't be too difficult for you. Just stay on each floor for ten days. After I'm done here, I'll see if I can help you with the rest!"
Lin Hao whispered to Janet beside him.
Jenny nodded, not feeling too much pressure; she was just there to broaden her horizons.
suddenly--
boom!
An invisible, strange power descended upon the entire dimensional space, instantly teleporting over a million geniuses away.
Swish!
Lin Hao's figure instantly appeared on a huge meteorite floating in the cosmic sky.
Seven trial towers stand silently on this meteorite stretching nearly 100 kilometers long.
Lin Hao looked down at his wrist, where a screen displayed his points and ranking.
Participant: Lin Hao (Qianwu Universe Kingdom)
Points: 0
Rank: None
The trial space where it is located: No. 0279602.
There are seven trial towers in the trial space, and each trial tower is divided into seven floors.
In the first trial tower, you can earn up to 10,000 points per level, and if you succeed on all seven levels, you can earn up to 70,000 points.
In the second trial tower, each level can earn up to 100,000 points. If all seven levels are successful, the maximum points that can be earned are 700,000.
……
The fourth trial tower offers a maximum of 10 million points per floor. Successfully completing all seven floors will yield a maximum of 70 million points.
……
In the seventh trial tower, each level can earn a maximum of 10 billion points. If all seven levels are successful, a maximum of 70 billion points can be earned.
Note: Upon death, the trial ends.
There are two ways to pass each layer:
1. Killing all targets in this level will grant you the highest score and allow you to be teleported directly to the next level.
2. If the trial participant fails to kill all the targets but is still alive after ten days, they will be teleported to the next level to continue the trial.
When all participants die, the trial ends and the final ranking is determined.
Below is a ranking list.
Lin Hao looked at the content on the screen and couldn't help but chuckle.
"All dead. Trial over..."
Then it transformed into a streak of light and flew to the front of the first trial tower. The entrance pillars of the trial tower, which was more than ten kilometers high, had the mark "1" on them, which was the first trial tower.
Enter the tower.
The text on Lin Hao's screen changed: "First level of the first tower: 1 ferocious beasts 'Blood-haired Mammoths'."
Each time you kill a ferocious beast, you will get one point. If you kill them all, you will get 10,000 points, and you will be sent directly to the second level.
If you haven't finished killing them, just survive for ten days and be teleported directly to the second level.
Death. Trial over.
He remembered his teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, telling him that although his performance in the preliminary rounds was amazing, it was too boring and had no entertainment value.
So now, let's speedrun it and show off our amazing skills!
Chapter 70 Far ahead!
The first level of the first trial tower.
As soon as Lin Hao appeared, ten thousand 'Blood-haired Mammoths,' peak ninth-tier stellar-level beasts of enormous size, surged forward from the distant plains like sharks smelling blood.
'I don't know if Janet can hold out until I finish this crappy tower, so let's hurry up!'
In the blink of an eye, a light drizzle began to fall on the first level of the Trial Tower.
In just a few seconds, all 10,000 blood-haired mammoths were wiped out!
The second level contains ten thousand 9th-tier peak star-level demonic beasts called 'Nine-Headed Pythons'.
Compared to ferocious beasts, monsters are more intelligent, capable of thinking and cooperating, making the overall difficulty of the second level slightly higher.
However, it made no difference to Lin Hao; he passed it in a flash.
