Chapter 58 A Proud Genius
A battle to monitor geniuses?
Lin Yi was speechless. How much free time did he have to come and supervise a Star-level genius battle hosted by a Venerable One?
He waved his hand with a smile, "Nine Swords Venerable, please make yourself at home. I'm just taking a look around."
The Nine Swords Venerable was somewhat doubtful. "Really?"
Being treated like a thief made Lin Yi feel a little annoyed, and his tone became somewhat stiff.
"What? Does Your Excellency think I have the leisure to oversee this genius's battle?"
Nine Swords Venerable was speechless. He also realized that he had been a bit too sensitive. The Everlasting Star Genius Battle was not a lucrative position. If Lin Yi really wanted to show off his power as an inspector, he should have gone to the branch managers and heads who were in charge of the lucrative positions.
With a hint of apology, he said, "It was my mistake. Commander Lin Yi, please do as you see fit!"
Lin Yi's expression softened, he nodded, and flew towards the group of geniuses below.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man who sat on equal footing with the man in the green robe flew straight to Luo Feng's front.
"this……"
Lin Yi patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, "Crazy, do your best."
Luo Feng looked completely bewildered... "You...you're really Brother Yi?!"
It's no wonder Luo Feng was surprised; he never imagined that the person who was on par with the Nine Swords Venerable was actually Lin Yi!
A few years ago, Lin Yi was just a native of the same global village as him. In the blink of an eye, he became a big shot who even the immortals of the Cosmic Kingdom had to treat with respect. If he hadn't been so good-natured, he might have been driven crazy by the shock!
Lin Yi laughed and said, "It hasn't been that long, and you can't even recognize your brother Yi?"
"Brother Yi~!"
"Is it really Brother Yi?"
"Who were you just now...?"
Luo Feng was very excited to see Lin Yi; he was genuinely grateful to Lin Yi.
Subconsciously, he believed that the Meteorite Star was an opportunity given to him by Lin Yi.
After Lin Yi and Luo Feng chatted for a few moments, the Genius Battle officially began under the guidance of the Nine Swords Venerable.
Lin Yi was placed next to the Nine Swords Venerable, in the very center and best position on the entire viewing platform.
Each screen displayed the progress of the geniuses in conquering the Trial Tower.
"Hmm! This is the Zerg hive? I must say, the Zerg Queen is truly impressive!"
"Huh, is this a mechanical puppet? Its intelligence level is really high!"
"Hmm~! This kid Bolan is not bad, he's doing a good job comprehending the Myriad Threads Flow."
"I hope my encouragement doesn't affect this madman's mentality and make him unable to make the top ten. Why was he so determined in the beginning?"
Nine Swords Venerable: ...
Nine Swords Venerable regretted it a little. He shouldn't have arranged for Lin Yi to be by his side. He originally wanted to talk to him about some "high-level" topics. Now, Lin Yi was muttering something to himself.
Could he really be here to watch the battle of geniuses?
Thinking of this, the Nine Swords Venerable cast a wary glance at Lin Yi.
The commander of the Chaos City Lord's personal guards has come here in great numbers, all for a battle of geniuses at the Hengxing level.
What kind of mentality is that?!
terrible!
How could the Nine Swords Venerable understand that Lin Yi was only in his twenties and was very curious about everything in the universe? His behavior was not surprising.
Unaware of the thoughts of the Nine Swords Venerable beside him, Lin Yi was fully immersed in the battle of geniuses. With his Domain Lord-level soul, he could multitask and easily watch the battle of over a million geniuses in the Trial Tower at the same time.
There are seven trial towers in total, each with seven levels, and the difficulty of each trial tower is increased tenfold.
As time went by, a group of geniuses successfully passed the first trial tower.
Lin Yi watched with great interest. He wasn't interested in the secret techniques, the crude use of the domain, or the rudimentary combat skills; he was focused on the willpower!
The most outstanding geniuses from the entire human realm gathered together displayed an astonishingly high spirit and energy. Their unstoppable and fighting will, though still immature, was incredibly inspiring!
That indomitable spirit, undaunted by time or wind.
It transformed into gentle energy, soothing Lin Yi's extremely exhausted state of mind!
Yes, Lin Yi's spirit and soul were extremely exhausted.
Look at how Lin Yi has spent the past two years...
A face-to-face "bargaining" session with the Chaos City Lord, a top-tier fifth-order universe master and the second-in-command of the human race.
They "welcomed and saw off" the immortals and cosmic venerables in Chaos City.
Amidst the vastness of the Chaos Stele, I desperately sought to comprehend it...
He... was just a domain lord, and a domain lord who got in through connections!
Under the watchful gaze of those almost tangible wills, one can only imagine the pressure they endured!
Ordinary students feel inexplicably nervous when being watched by a teacher.
Those who are watching Lin Yi are all cosmic venerables or even cosmic masters!
Lin Yi has lived two lives, but only for a few decades, spending his days among old monsters spanning millions and billions of epochs.
In short, Lin Yi was... extremely exhausted!
Watching the Genius Battle and adjusting one's mindset is truly not just empty talk.
……
"Hmm? There's been an elimination?" Lin Yi's eyes flickered slightly as he keenly noticed that a genius had been eliminated.
It was as if a fuse had been lit.
"Two more have died!"
……
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Within seconds, more than ten figures would be teleported to the central square at the same time.
Within a quarter of an hour, hundreds of thousands of eliminated geniuses had gathered in the central square.
Even those geniuses who were eliminated still receive Lin Yi's attention...
"Soys, you've been eliminated too?"
"Luo Yidi, you were here before me," the blue-haired youth, Sois, joked with a smile.
"I never thought I could break into the top 7000," said the handsome young man next to me, with slightly curly hair and wearing a silver battle suit, shaking his head.
"When I entered the trial space, I desperately tried to kill my way through each level as quickly as possible, hoping to improve my ranking. Just as I thought, at first, I killed quickly, and my name rose rapidly, reaching as high as over 10. But later, the third trial tower was really difficult, and my speed of clearing it slowed down a lot, and my ranking plummeted! It dropped to below 30, and in the end, I died on the fifth level of the third tower, where I was sat on and killed by that mechanical puppet. It was a real tragedy."
"Sit down and die?" Sois laughed.
"Which floor did you reach?" the handsome young man asked.
"Much stronger than you, the third one, seventh floor," Sois couldn't help but laugh. "You were glared to death by the Zerg Queen!"
"Haha... To die at the hands of the Zerg Queen, you are indeed much better than me!" The handsome young man couldn't help but laugh.
……
As Lin Yi listened to the various voices of geniuses, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips...
Most of the geniuses here are unaware of how high the sky is, nor do they know what the Genius Battle truly means. They treat everything with a calm mind, regarding it as a scene in the journey of life.
Ignorance can be a kind of happiness!
……
"Huh! Berlan, he's starting to exert himself!"
Passed the seventh level of the third trial tower.
Passed the seventh level of the fourth trial tower.
Passed the seventh floor of the fifth trial tower.
Passed the seventh level of the sixth trial tower.
The seventh trial tower, first level: Failure!
Berlan teleported out expressionlessly, standing upright in the central square, showing no signs of weakness, but still exuding an almost arrogant confidence.
Youthful spirit!
This is extremely rare!
"Luo Feng is starting to exert his strength too!"
The fifth trial tower, seventh floor, passed.
The sixth trial tower, first floor, failed!
The heart is as calm as water,
Immovable as a mountain!
Despite the barrage of criticism, doubts, and support from the outside world, Luo Feng remained steadfast and followed his own rhythm.
……
Lin Yi felt as if he had grasped something, yet it also seemed as if he had grasped nothing at all!
