"So strong!"
The audience in the sky were stunned.
They had thought that Clark would pay a heavy price for provoking Simpson, but to their surprise, it was a one-sided affair. The royal family of the Qianwu Secret Realm, a super genius who had stepped into the threshold of the laws, was powerless to fight back against Clark!
"Clark's strength is astonishing, and his colorful ribbons are so unpredictable and impossible to defend against!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen rainbow ribbons played with like this! Hehe, I have to try it when I get back—"
"Clark is so handsome, I want to be like him too—"
"It's over so quickly? We barely exchanged a few words before it was over?"
"Who is this Clark? His strength is so terrifying, yet I've never heard of him before."
Clark was unaware that countless people were watching him, and that his colorful silk ribbons were giving rise to many ideas.
He is checking his ranking right now.
"How did Simpson get so many points?"
Clark's eyes widened. Even if he only got half of his points, he would now be at the very bottom of the top ten, rising to number 10!
Clark immediately glanced at the scores of the people in front of him and did a quick calculation. He realized that if he killed just one more person in the top ten, he could take first place.
The points difference between the top ten in this region isn't that big. "With a little effort, maybe we can get first place."
Clark hadn't expected himself to be so strong; he had defeated Simpson, who was ranked in the top ten, with very little effort.
Play is play, and jokes are jokes!
Simpson is one of the most outstanding geniuses in the Dry Witch Secret Realm!
Defeating Simpson gave Clark an extremely strong sense of confidence.
"Hurry up!"
Clark had no more interest in sightseeing; he only wanted to find a top-ten powerhouse to improve his ranking.
"Hmph! Not bad, not completely stupid, at least he knows how to strive for improvement."
In the sky, Joe, who had been watching Clark closely, snorted coldly, finally feeling a little more satisfied with his good-for-nothing son.
Laura, standing to the side, was thrilled to see her son so strong, but after hearing her husband's words, she said with dissatisfaction:
"Joe, can you be a little more patient with Clark? Children need time to grow."
Joe scoffed: "Back when I was his age, I was already out fighting space pirates and carrying out missions with the Imperial Army."
At this point, Joe frowned and scolded Laura, "It's all your fault as her mother, spoiling Clark from a young age and raising him to be like this..."
Laura sneered, "Heh, now you're blaming me? Everyone knows you, Prince Qiao, are a man of your word. If you hadn't tacitly approved, would I have put a knife to your throat?"
Joe's tone softened slightly: "I...I was busy and neglected to discipline Clark. Look at Jinci Li, I learned from Clark's experience."
Laura continued with a cold laugh: "So that's why you taught Jinci Li to be that kind of sinister person, always scheming and calculating. Martial arts are about fists, not cunning!"
"This mindset is hindering his path in martial arts!"
Joe frowned. "It's better to be cunning than naive. Do you expect me to be like Clark, acting all silly and crazy?"
"That's true." Laura nodded.
Joe assumed his wife agreed with his idea, and his brow relaxed.
"By the way, didn't you just say you were very busy, which caused Clark to become like this?" Laura smiled slightly. "But recently, I heard that you were out partying with your friends again, even going out drinking and carousing?"
Joe quickly retorted, "I went with my friend. I need something from him. Laura, you know I'm absolutely loyal to you—."
Laura sneered, "There won't be a next time. If it happens again, I'll break your legs!"
Qiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, but inwardly he thought fiercely, "Damn it, which bastard leaked the secret? If I find out, I'll skin him alive!"
After hardening her resolve, Qiao felt utterly hopeless: "I have to work harder on my cultivation. This life is unbearable. I can't even have a little alcohol. You know, he has always strictly adhered to the rules of husbandhood and dared not overstep them, yet he is still being treated so harshly—"
Time passed day by day.
Soon, the final day arrived, and the preliminary rounds were about to end.
World Zone 1.
Luo Feng checked the time on the roof of a building.
"No time left, let's go to the arena. With my strength, winning the arena shouldn't be a problem!"
From the beginning, Luo Feng never thought about taking first place. It was only later that he realized the people in the world zone were too "weak" and he wanted to take first place, but there wasn't enough time.
Hong was in the same situation as Luo Feng. In World Zone 72, where Hong was located, everyone was in a planetary building with extremely complex terrain, making it really difficult to find people. Moreover, the roads were full of obstacles, making it difficult to fly quickly.
As for Zhou Ze and Lei Shen, one mowed down grass and the other defeated Tu Man, firmly holding the top spot.
"Countdown to the end of the preliminary round: 60.59...58"
A majestic and deep voice echoed in the minds of all the survivors in the 100 world zones, causing many martial artists in the various world zones to become somewhat impatient.
"So fast?"
"It's too late!"
"I'm almost there, just one minute left, damn it—"
"Hurry up and send someone to kill him!"
In the final countdown, chaos reigned in all world zones.
World 55.
"Too late! Just die already! You're really good at running!"
Clark was frantic as he chased after a top-ten psychic.
This psychic was very cunning; once he realized he was no match for Clark, he began to flee with all his might.
Clark, of course, wouldn't let the first place slip away, and kept chasing after it.
The disgusting thing about a psychic is that he can run while using his psychic powers to control various trash and even psychic weapons to block those who are chasing him.
The two had been locked in a stalemate for several hours, and Clark had no good way to deal with him.
"I should have put more effort into improving my movement techniques," Clark gritted his teeth. "Hey, why are you running? Can't you just let me kill you obediently?"
"Do you think I'm a fool?!"
Without turning his head, the top ten mentalist said, "Go ahead and chase me to death!"
"3!"
The final three-second countdown has begun!
Clark sighed and thought: "—
At this moment, his heart calmed down, even his physical body slowed down, and the whole world seemed to slow down.
".—.——.1! Teleport!"
All survivors in the 100 world zones vanished instantly, and then each of the virtual worlds collapsed and disappeared, turning everything into nothingness.
At the same time, the final rankings in each world zone were fully released to the public.
Preliminaries are over!
"Zhou Ze, as you requested, I have blocked all calls and emails except for a few people who are important to you!"
Babata immediately jumped out excitedly, saying, "Do you know that by getting first place in the world rankings, you can directly qualify for one of the final 1000 spots to represent the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the final battle!"
"Babata, I haven't been able to get used to not seeing you for a month."
Zhou Ze completely ignored the excited Babata floating in the air and the words it was saying. He simply grabbed Babata in his hand and stroked it randomly, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
It's unclear how Luo Feng managed to tolerate Babata following him around for so long before finally releasing him.
"Zhou Ze! I'm talking to you about serious matters. If you keep this up, I'll get rough with you—" Babata struggled to fly up, glaring angrily at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze laughed and said, "Well, I was just too excited to see you—"
Babata, hands on hips, said, "So, I forgive you."
"By the way, do you know where Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen are ranked this time?" Babata, who was always childish, couldn't contain himself any longer!
"Hmm, it should be pretty good," Zhou Ze said with a slight smile.
Needless to say, Thor must have defeated Rong Jun.
Luo Feng and Hong are much stronger than they were at this point in the original story, but they are probably much weaker than Thor. However, they are enough for the preliminary world zone.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you excited at all!" Babata complained, then exclaimed excitedly:
"Luo Feng is ranked 2nd! Hong is ranked 7th! Lei Shen is ranked 1st! And you too! My God, two of you four are ranked 1st, this is absolutely unbelievable!"
Babata felt incredibly fortunate. All four of his disciples from Meteorite Star were ranked in the top ten, with two of them even ranking first!
When the rankings stabilized, especially the moment the preliminaries ended, she was almost overwhelmed with joy.
"Alright, don't be alarmed by honor or disgrace. You said you wanted to cultivate the Mindset Technique in the future, and you've become like this because of this little bit of excitement." Zhou Ze took the opportunity to stroke Babata's soft hair.
Babata was getting used to Zhou Ze's touch, and rubbed against Zhou Ze's hand, feeling quite comfortable.
After the preliminary rounds ended, all the major factions were frantically trying to contact the geniuses on the leaderboard, even though they believed that these geniuses were unlikely to join their factions. But making a phone call or sending an email wouldn't hurt.
Maybe with a bit of luck, a super genius will agree—that would be a pleasant surprise!
These actions are all basic operations of the major forces that pay attention to the Genius Battle, and there's nothing to say about them. However, one thing has shocked all the forces in the entire universe, and even gradually shocked everyone who pays attention to the Genius Battle.
