Chapter 57: The Battle of Supervising Geniuses?
"madman?"
Lin Yi was slightly dazed, then chuckled.
That's right. I've been cultivating in Chaos City all this time and completely forgot that the Genius Battle is in full swing.
Steve asked curiously, "What, Emperor Yi, do you know this Luo Feng?"
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, "We do have some connection; we're from the same planet!"
hiss~!
Steve and Yan Yu both gasped in unison!
What kind of planet is it that produced Lin Yi, and now another super genius who has broken into the pinnacle of the universe's genius battle?
"How about we go check out the battle of the ultimate geniuses?"
Seeing that Lin Yi had shown some interest, Steve quickly made a suggestion.
Lin Yi chuckled, "Steve, Yan Yusha, aren't you two in a hurry to break through to immortality?"
The desire of a peak Realm Lord for eternal immortality is something no one else can understand. Now, with a breakthrough imminent, he has to accompany me to watch a group of Eternal Star-level little guys fight.
Yan Yu smiled and said, "Consider it a time to adjust my mindset before breaking through!"
Steve, who was closer to Lin Yi, grabbed Lin Yi's arm and said, "Let's go, Lin Yi, let's go see what those kids are up to. Don't you want to see how far our fellow villager Luo Feng can go?"
Lin Yi understood that these two had a slightly ingratiating attitude, but he really wanted to go and see them too.
"Alright, the pressure of cultivation has been quite high lately, so let's take this opportunity to relax!"
Lin Yi and his two companions logged into the virtual universe and gathered in the exclusive space of Lin Yi's personal guard commander.
Looking at their private space, which was almost a 1:1 replica of the Chaos City Palace, Steve and Yan Yusha became even more convinced of their thoughts—Lin Yi was even more powerful than they had imagined. Could he be the illegitimate son of some important figure, and had just been recognized as his relative?
"I'm going to find Uncle Thirteen and apply for a position as a team leader for the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."
"Absolutely the best spectator spot!"
Yan Yusha hurriedly said.
The Cosmic Genius Battle is broadcast live across the entire universe, and everyone can watch it. However, attending in person is not something that ordinary people can do. Even world lords and immortals need to apply in advance, and their viewing positions are never very good.
As a member of the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Yan Yusha knew the thirteen divine generals leading the team. With some leniency, she could naturally obtain a position as a team leader.
Of course, this was also to curry favor with Lin Yi.
Applying for a staff position in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom?
Lin Yi chuckled to himself, thinking, "Indeed, strength determines status, and status determines perspective!"
Lin Yi went to watch the Genius Battle but had to pretend to be a staff member. If other universe venerables found out, they would laugh their heads off!
Waving his hand to stop Yan Yusha, Lin Yi said calmly, "You two come with me."
After saying that, a white light flashed, and Lin Yi disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, the three had arrived in the exclusive dimension of the Genius Battle.
"Lin Yi...you...your authority?"
Steve was dumbfounded; he had just received an official email from Virtual Universe Company—
【World Master Steve (Yan Yusha), hello! You have obtained access to the exclusive dimension for the Genius Battle!】
It contains very few words, but a great deal of information.
Their decision to come to the Genius Battle was impromptu, and Lin Yi granted them access with a wave of his hand.
Applying for access to the Genius Battle Dimension isn't difficult; it requires personal application and a few steps.
But Lin Yi is granting permissions to someone else!
The difference is significant.
One is the applicant, and the other is the approver!
"Let's go." Lin Yi waved and led the way, flying towards the 1008 towering skyscrapers in the distance.
……
It was evening.
As Luo Feng was drinking a beverage at one of the restaurants in the central square, a voice suddenly invaded his consciousness: "All participants of the 1008 Universe Nation, assemble in the central square."
1008000 geniuses... some flew in from the sky, some flew out from the residential buildings, and some gathered from the edge of the central square toward the center.
This applies to millions of geniuses!
Just a moment!
A massive, orderly formation of 1008000 geniuses stood in the central square. Then… all the geniuses awoke.
"What's going on?" Luo Feng woke up with a start.
"What's wrong?"
"Huh, how did I get here? I was just inside."
The entire formation of over a million geniuses was in shock. Even the Grim Reaper, Berlan, was equally astonished.
At this moment, standing in front of the formation were 1008 immortal beings. These immortal beings naturally exuded their aura. The aura of thousands of powerful immortals... instantly silenced all the millions of people in the formation, and no one dared to make a sound.
"Welcome to the ultimate genius battle hosted by our Virtual Universe Company..." A gentle voice reached everyone's ears.
Everyone looked on in shock.
Where there had been no one in the air before, a man dressed in a cyan battle robe and with purple scales on his head appeared. He had a smile on his face... but standing in mid-air, he seemed like an ancient god-king, and the aura he naturally exuded made millions of young people involuntarily submit.
Upon its appearance, it overshadowed the immortal light of 1008 people like the sun.
"Our Virtual Universe Company will select the one thousand strongest individuals from among you and recruit them into the core of our Virtual Universe Company..."
A million of you are competing for these one thousand spots...
"Everyone, please prepare... Huh..." The man in the green robe suddenly let out a soft exclamation and turned to look in a certain direction.
"Commander of the Imperial Guard, Lin Yi? What brings him here?!"
The 1008 immortals, and even millions of geniuses in the central square, all followed the gaze of the man in the green robe.
In the crowd, Luo Feng recognized the person who had arrived, stared in disbelief, and stammered,
"Yi...Brother Yi?!"
Rong Jun, standing nearby, asked curiously, "You know this madman?"
None of them were fools. The man in the green robe was clearly of much higher status and strength than the 1008 immortal generals leading the team. For such a being to interrupt the battle of geniuses and wait for the other party to arrive, one can imagine who this person was.
Luo Feng nodded first, then shook his head.
"They must have mistaken him for someone else; he looks a lot like one of my older brothers!"
Rong Jun chuckled. "That's right. There are plenty of people in the universe who look alike."
There were three people, a man and a woman, who landed at the edge of the central square and walked quickly toward the group of immortal gods.
The leading youth bypassed the group of immortals and flew straight towards the green-robed man in mid-air.
"Nine Swords Venerable!"
Lin Yi approached the man in the green robe and nodded slightly in greeting.
As the commander of the Chaos City Lord's personal guard, he was of equal rank to the Nine Swords Venerable, so there was no need for him to perform grand ceremonies.
The Nine Swords Venerable was also qualified to know some of Lin Yi's situation. While he held neither respect nor ill will towards this fortunate 'Domain Lord,' he respected the Chaos City Lord behind him. A slight smile appeared on the Nine Swords Venerable's face.
"Commander Lin Yi, welcome."
"I wonder if you've come this time to oversee the Genius Battle?"
At this point, the Nine Swords Venerable paused slightly, feigning a hint of displeasure.
As the commander of the personal guard, Lin Yi had the authority to supervise, and his sudden arrival in the Genius Battle Plane made it hard for the Nine Swords Venerable not to think in this direction.
He is a dignified cosmic venerable one, presiding over a mere star-level genius battle. You, a mere domain lord, dare to act like a tyrant and put on airs of supervision in front of him?
