Chapter 118 The Essence of Space Law (4 updates)
One day later, the ranking battle began.
To be honest, Jiang Chen was looking forward to it before the genius battle started.
Even in the first round of the Universe Country Qualifiers, Jiang Chen still fully retained this expectation.
But as time went by, Jiang Chen's strength continued to improve. By the time of the Universe Finals, Jiang Chen no longer had any interest in the following games.
Jiang Chen's body has already entered the domain master level, and with the help of the system library, he has a good understanding of the ten original laws.
Even if you just use the mainstream method of swallowing the starry sky world, facing these stellar geniuses is like playing house with a child, without any difficulty at all.
The strength of these geniuses is too weak for Jiang Chen, and there is no challenge at all.
Even Jiang Chen couldn't force out his trump card, let alone get the slightest improvement from Jiang Chen.
It is better to set up some powerful opponents to fight against in the virtual universe, so that you can better discover your own shortcomings.
But no matter how hard I can’t muster the energy, I still have to deal with it in order to get the benefits after joining Virtual Universe Company.
The Nine Swords Venerable waved his hand, and a hundred huge arenas immediately appeared in the square.
The arena was silver in color, about ten kilometers in diameter, and was surrounded by a large black net. Two hundred geniuses were teleported onto the arena.
According to the rules, as soon as the game starts, the area around the ring will collapse quickly, shrinking the scope of the ring.
In this way, the two participating parties are forced to quickly determine the winner.
Every round of the arena battle, no matter how slow it is, will end within a few minutes.
On one of the arenas, the opponents were Jiang Chen and a young man named 'Panagiotis-Girardi' who looked like an ape.
The ape clan is also considered a large clan among the human race. Although it is not the top bloodline like the Manka Stars and the Huangshen clan, it is better because of its large population and the emergence of many strong people.
Jiang Chen appeared on the ring in a mecha. Without any intention of communicating with the opponent, he directly raised the right arm of the mecha.
A missile flew out of the barrel and exploded violently in the center of the ring.
Boom~!
The high-energy ray stream instantly evaporated the entire arena, leaving only Jiang Chen, who was protected by the psychic shield, still above the arena.
The game ends instantly!
Seeing this scene, the eight hundred geniuses watching the battle couldn't help but twitch their eyelids.
The scope of the explosion completely covers the entire arena. In such a small area, there is nowhere to hide and can only resist.
And the power of this explosion...
Although the shock wave of the explosion was completely absorbed by the black net at the edge of the ring, it did not spread out.
But just by looking at the terrifying impact and turbulence inside the ring, you can imagine what a devastating scene it was at the moment of the explosion.
At least in this genius battle, among all the star-level geniuses, none can withstand such an intense attack.
It’s not a matter of uncertainty, but it’s that there is no chance of surviving an explosion of this level.
This thing was designed by Jiang Chen to deal with Realm Lord-level enemies. Even if it could only be made into a 'shrunk version' due to material limitations, it would not be something that these star-level players could withstand.
The moment they saw the explosion, all stellar geniuses had only one thought in their minds.
There is no doubt about the first place in this talent competition.
On another arena, Bolan had also easily defeated his opponent. Looking at the huge mushroom cloud caused by the explosion in the distance, the fingers holding the sword hilt were slightly hard, and the joints turned a little white.
"Jiang Chen..."
As Bolan muttered Jiang Chen's name, he could not help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.
He thought he couldn't handle this explosion, and naturally his ranking couldn't be higher than Jiang Chen's.
But the methods used by Jiang Chen were unacceptable to Bolan.
He is a very traditional genius. He believes that warriors should rely on laws and secret methods to win.
Treasures are important, but one's own strength is fundamental.
Bolan didn't like Jiang Chen's genre, which relied entirely on foreign objects.
But no matter how much he disliked Jiang Chen in his heart, he had to admit that according to the rules of this genius battle, it was impossible for him to defeat the opponent.
“There are two places in the original secret realm. First, I can’t get it, but second, I have to win it!”
The moment Bo Lan was teleported out of the ring, Make up your mind silently in your heart.
Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Wuka...
Each genius, although they were in the middle of a battle, noticed the scene on the ring where Jiang Chen was.
Although the power of such a terrifying explosion was absorbed by the large net at the edge of the ring, it was hard not to notice such a big movement.
However, the geniuses fighting in the ring were only distracted for a moment before returning their attention to the game.
Except for a few individuals who were greatly affected and were eliminated by their opponents at the opportunity, this episode did not have a greater impact.
Those who were eliminated due to distraction can only blame themselves for their lack of concentration and being too easily disturbed.
A true genius must not only be strong enough in terms of strength, but also have high enough concentration in battle.
If you are easily disturbed and cannot stay focused, it will be useless no matter how strong you are.
A few minutes later, the first round ended.
After a half-hour break, twenty geniuses selected by the virtual universe once again entered the ring to compete for the top ten spots.
In this round, Jiang Chen still crushed him easily.
The clone of 'Uchiha Shisui' met 'Shogo' from planet August and eliminated the opponent simply and easily.
In the subsequent third round of elimination, Jiang Chen's two clones met Ai Chen, a girl from the Mengluo Wing tribe known as the 'Light Sword', and Uka, the little prince of Manka Star. It's an easy win.
After three rounds of elimination, only five people were left in the ring.
Jiang Chen’s two clones, Bolan, the ‘god of death’ who was once recognized as the number one in the Cosmo Nation qualifiers, Long Yun who eliminated Luo Feng in the original work, and... because of Jiang Chen’s appearance , Luo Feng, who did not meet Long Yun in the final round, was able to advance smoothly.
The five geniuses will determine the final first and second place and compete for the qualification to enter the ‘Original Secret Realm’.
"The five of you will engage in the final battle."
The Nine Swords Venerable said the rules: "The rules are very simple. It is still one-on-one in the ring, but each of the five of you needs to compete with the others. People fight separately. If you win a game, you will get one point. If you draw, you will get one point. Or there will be no points for failure, and the first and second will be determined according to the number of points."
"In the first game, Uchiha Shisui versus Luo Feng."
Nine Sword Masters. The player waved his hand, and a huge silver arena appeared in the center of the square.
Jiang Chen’s clones ‘Uchiha Shisui’ and Luo Feng were teleported to the ring.
A huge countdown number appeared above the arena.
"Uchiha Shisui..."
Luo Feng looked at Jiang Chen's clone and said in a deep voice: "Although we are from the same universe country, there is no relationship between you and me. Not familiar. I’ve seen you fight and I think I am not your opponent. But in this battle, I hope you can go all out and let me see how big the gap is between you and me!"
Among the five, Luo Feng thinks that he is the best. The one with the least hope of hitting the 'Original Secret Realm' quota.
He calmed down and just wanted to challenge powerful opponents and improve his strength. As for the result, he was prepared to lose all four games, so naturally he didn't care too much.
Jiang Chen listened to Luo Feng's words and smiled secretly in his heart.
This avatar’s identity was disguised, and even Luo Feng was fooled. It must be even less likely for others to discover it.
"Okay, I will try my best."
Jiang Chen raised his right hand and pulled out the short knife on his back.
The sixty centimeter-long tachi-like short sword is a "short weapon" used in close combat.
The saying that every inch is short and every inch is dangerous may not be so absolute for the strong men in the universe, but it is also applicable in most cases.
The fighting style of the clone 'Uchiha Shisui' naturally belongs to the category of pursuing extremes and taking eccentric swordsmanship.
"Although it is said that you have to use all your strength, it is impossible to play so outrageously. It will be bad if Luo Feng's mentality is broken again... In this game, let Luo Feng demonstrate Let’s learn about the application of space laws!”
Jiang Chen made a decision silently in his heart.
The countdown in the sky reaches zero.
Jiang Chen and Luo Feng moved at the same time.
Jiang Chen rushed forward, but Luo Feng stepped on the dark cloud shuttle, his whole body turned into a stream of light, trying to quickly open the distance between the two parties.
The clone ‘Uchiha Shisui’ is a warrior on the surface.
Luo Feng is a spiritual master and has a longer attack range.
It would naturally be more beneficial to Luo Feng to keep the distance between them.
"Sky-piercing style!"
Luo Feng shouted lowly, and the Yanshen Weapon behind him quickly decomposed into 81 small swords.
Each nine small swords are combined into a slightly larger golden sword.
The nine golden swords were combined again to form a long sword over a foot long.
Mysterious secret patterns vaguely appeared on the surface of the long sword, exuding an ancient aura.
The second level of the Yanshen Weapon - Sky-piercing style.
Facing Jiang Chen's clone, Luo Feng had no intention of hiding his strength, and immediately used his long-hidden trump card!
The golden long sword was surrounded by golden air currents, stabbing Jiang Chen like a comet.
“Nice attack.”
Jiang Chen raised his hand and swung his sword, striking the golden sword.
The moment the two weapons were handed over, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be surprised by the shock force transmitted from the blade.
Compared with the last time the two faced each other before the start of the Genius Battle Finals, Luo Feng’s power in using the ‘Sky-piercing Style’ has improved a lot.
“Being able to develop the ‘Sword Stance’ to this extent, it is estimated that he is not far away from mastering the ‘Sword Domain’. Maybe before reaching the initial universe, Luo Feng may be able to master the ‘Sword Domain’ . Well... Although I have been avoiding affecting him, compared to the same period in the original work, Luo Feng's The strength has still been improved..."
A thought flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, but he showed no mercy at all. With one sword, he slashed away the golden sword formed by the reorganized Divine Soldier. The next moment, " The secret technique "Thousands of Illusions" was cast, and eighteen 'Uchiha Shisui' appeared on the ring, surrounding Luo Feng in a fan shape.
"Eighteen phantom bodies?"
"Didn't it mean that he can cast more than 500 phantom bodies?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Luo Feng's mind.
Suddenly, Luo Feng's eyes widened suddenly, "The trajectory of this phantom body's movement...!"
As if a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, Luo Feng was stunned for an instant.
On the arena, Jiang Chen's eighteen phantom bodies were shuttled across the arena in extremely delicate trajectories. Every time they flickered, they would appear at a special 'node'.
The whole process looks extremely perfect, full of a special rhythm.
This special 'rhythm' vaguely showed Luo Feng a wonderful realm.
A realm that is extremely desired for all geniuses who practice the laws of space.
Luo Feng has a vague feeling that what 'Uchiha Shisui' has shown is the most correct way to practice the laws of space!
——
Outside the ring, the immortals watching the battle widened their eyes when they saw this scene.
Even Master Nine Swords couldn't maintain a calm expression. Looking at the figure of 'Uchiha Shisui' on the ring, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Space node?! This little guy has understood space. The essence of the law?”
“No, it’s not just one essence, the space nodes used by his eighteen phantoms are different each time he advances!”
“He Master the essence of the eighteen kinds of space laws! ”
"Astral level, can the understanding of the laws of space reach such a level?!"
Every immortal, even the Nine Swordsmen, all communicated with each other through voice messages, discussing the performance of 'Uchiha Shisui' .
As for Luo Feng on the stage, faced with Jiang Chen's unpredictable and traceless movements, he was unable to determine Jiang Chen's true location.
The huge gap in the laws of space caused an astonishing gap in the speed of the two.
The eighteen phantom bodies flashed across a distance of several kilometers and rushed to Luo Feng.
The knife was swung out, and a tiny ball of fire in the shape of a giant dragon's head rose up from the tip of the knife. Luo Feng subconsciously recalled the Divine Soldier and struck with all his strength, trying to block Jiang Chen's attack.
However, the Yanshen Weapon did not encounter any obstacles, easily penetrated the figure in front of it, and continued to fly into the distance.
"Phantom Body?"
As soon as a thought arose, Luo Feng suddenly reacted and realized something was wrong: "No, 'Phantom Body Shisui' is best at its true form. Switching places with the phantom body instantly, no one can notice the trace!"
Subconsciously, he looked back at the figure that was just judged as the 'false body'.
A vague light flashed above the blade, and an invisible illusion enveloped Luo Feng's consciousness.
“It’s over!”
The moment his consciousness was dragged into the illusion, Luo Feng understood that he had lost.
Although Luo Feng's will is strong now, it is not so strong that he cannot solve it.
Even in the previous battle, Luo Feng was affected by Galasi's illusion.
As for Jiang Chen's illusion skills, he learned them from the soul master "Phantom Spirit King". The illusions are more powerful and more subtle.
Although he broke through the illusion immediately, Luo Feng was still inevitably in a daze for a moment.
At this moment, poof~!
With one slash of the knife, Luo Feng's head separated from his body and flew high into the sky.
At the fractured neck, the wound had been burned into charcoal by the high temperature, and no trace of blood seeped out.
‘Uchiha Shisui’ wins!
Luo Feng, defeated!
