A gentle breeze blew away the dust on the platform bit by bit. Gradually, the inside of the platform was revealed. A blurry figure slowly appeared in the air. He looked a little tired.
He was panting heavily.
Ye Chen stood in the air and looked down. He was drenched in sweat and felt a strong sense of sleepiness. This attack was almost his peak combat power when he had not activated his superhuman mode!
It was impossible to activate superhuman mode in the virtual world.
Moreover, in the Prodigy Hall, combat skills were honed. It was mainly a competition of combat skills!
When the smoke dissipated, there was no one on the ground. There was only a deep ravine that seemed to have been split open by a giant sword. It was dazzling and eye-catching on the spacious platform. It extended into the distance and split the entire platform in half!
In the deep ravine, Sky Dragon's huge figure had disappeared. It was as if he had evaporated into thin air.
"Challenge won!"
The AI system's notification echoed in Ye Chen's ears.
Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief. As soon as his consciousness relaxed, he was teleported out of the platform and returned to his residence.
The system notification reverberated throughout the Silent Battle Platform, and through the screen, it reverberated throughout the entire Leisure Area.
Everyone became silent.
"Lost, lost?"
"Sky Dragon, who has an amplitude of four million, lost?"
"How is that possible?"
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Based on the virtual system's judgement, the amplitude of Ye Chen's battle power was clearly only 3 million!
Both of them were peak Demigods!
Sky Dragon lost in the end?
At the same time, in another bar in the leisure area, a light flashed and a huge figure appeared out of thin air. It was Sky Dragon. He was in a daze as the system's notification echoed in his mind.
He had failed the challenge!
And when he failed, 9 Divine Points were deducted from his account!
He was dumbfounded.
How could this be?
How could this be?
He had an amplitude of four million, but he was defeated by someone with an amplitude of three million?
When the blood-red sword radiance bloomed, he felt a monstrous killing intent. He could not struggle at all and was defeated!
Everything happened as fast as lightning. He did not see clearly what secret combat skill Ye Chen had used in the end.
The entire Rank Two Prodigy Hall's combat area was bustling.
"Sky Dragon on the Heaven Ranking was actually defeated by a newcomer."
"That newcomer is called Ye something. He seems to be from a neurological civilization?"
"Tsk, tsk. Looks like this newcomer isn't a rookie. Fortunately, I didn't provoke him. Otherwise, I would have lost a lot of Divine Points."
"That Sky Dragon lost big time, losing 9 points in one go."
"Haha …"
Everyone was talking about this in bars and entertainment venues. While they were sighing in their hearts, they were also gloating.
In his living quarters, Ye Chen was reclining on a sofa, holding a bottle of wine worth 1,000 pseudo divine stones in his hand. This was a free gift from the virtual world's Genius Hall to the geniuses. Although drinking it wouldn't bring any benefits to one's body in the real world, the wonderful taste wasn't something anyone could taste.
At the very least, there were many Semi-Divinity realm experts who were unwilling to drink such expensive wine.
"Tsk tsk …" Ye Chen connected his mind to the virtual system and immediately found that there were nine more Divine Points in his account. A total of 19 Divine Points!
"I've struck it rich this time!"
"If it weren't for the unexpected, I would have bet 10 Divine Points and won a little more!
That Sky Dragon's strength is really not bad. His secret technique's amplification is actually four million times. I've been leaping all the way and obtained so many fortuitous encounters, but until now, I've only reached three million times! "
"This ancient continent is indeed a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are countless geniuses, and this is only the second-grade Genius Hall!"
Ye Chen was a little emotional. He took a sip of the wine and felt as if all the pores on his body had opened up. He felt as if he was floating in the air.
The people in the Genius Hall were all in the Demigod realm. Almost all of them were at the pinnacle of the Demigod realm!
Those who surpassed the Demigod realm would stand out from the Genius Hall and enter the empire's military training department to carry out various missions. If they passed all the tests, they would be given great authority and rewards!
Therefore, in the Genius Hall, they competed on the amplification of their secret techniques!
"Just the second-grade Genius Hall alone has 2,802 geniuses. Among them, the experts on the Heaven Ranking are even more mysterious and powerful!" Ye Chen was excited.
In the second-grade Genius Hall, there was a Heaven Ranking that only accepted the top 100 experts of the hall!
Those who could be listed on the Heaven Ranking were extraordinary existences. They weren't ordinary geniuses. The geniuses on the Heaven Ranking were all targets that various forces would try to recruit.
"If I hadn't used the Meteor power Upanishad at the last moment to double my power from three million times to six million times, I would have lost this battle. Luckily, the other didn't have any power Upanishad manuals!"
Ye Chen rejoiced in his heart.
The profound technique was the most profound. Normally, only Divine Spirit Realm experts would have a chance to comprehend it. Back then, Ye Chen had only comprehended it by chance when he was in a mental state.
The Meteor Profound could double one's strength!
This was a technique that could be stacked with other types of techniques. In terms of value, even Divine Spirit Realm experts would covet it. It was very difficult to obtain it.
"With my current strength, I should be one of the top 10 existences in the second-grade Genius Hall!"
Ye Chen muttered to himself. "However, there might be others who are hiding their strength. Once the amplitude of the secret technique exceeds six million times, I can be promoted and enter the first-grade Genius Hall!
Even the weakest genius there has an amplitude of six million! "
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and didn't think too much about it. He looked at the extra Divine Points and suddenly had an idea. "Ten Divine Points can allow me to view the Heaven Dao Tablet once. I wonder how mysterious the Heaven Dao Tablet is. In the entire Arena District, the God of War Pagoda, the Vassal Platform, and the Emperor Peak, the Heaven Dao Tablet is the most valuable thing."
At this thought, Ye Chen immediately headed to the Heaven Dao Tablet in the Genius District.
The entire virtual world was divided into two major districts. Although Ye Chen didn't know who the creator of the virtual world that covered the entire ancient continent was, he knew that the creator of the virtual world was definitely an extremely terrifying expert!
The Heaven Dao Tablet was extremely mysterious.
In the virtual world's Arena District, there were nine Heaven Dao Tablets. In the Genius District, there was also one!
Ye Chen directly teleported to the Heaven Dao Tablet. In the virtual world, there was nothing he couldn't do. He was directly teleported to the Heaven Dao Tablet by the AI system.
He looked up …
The Heaven Dao Tablet was ancient and ancient. It towered tens of thousands of feet high, and its top couldn't be seen. It seemed to be as tall as the sky. There were many ancient scriptures on it, and there were also traces of wind and frost carvings. At the corners of the tablet, there were some places that were damaged, but the scriptures weren't damaged.
"This is the Heaven Dao Tablet!"
Ye Chen was shocked. He felt that this ancient stone tablet seemed to have existed since the beginning of time. It didn't collapse when the heavens and earth collapsed, and it didn't collapse when the world decayed. It had a sense of vicissitudes.
The AI system prompted, "Do you wish to expend ten Divine Points to enter the Heaven Dao Tablet's universe scriptures?"
Ye Chen nodded. "Yes."
Shua!
His entire body suddenly disappeared, and he appeared in a mysterious seven-colored world. A thousand feet in front of him was the Heaven Dao Tablet. In this world, it was like another universe, and there were mysterious powers everywhere.
Ye Chen's eyes fell on the Heaven Dao Tablet, and he couldn't shift his gaze away.
In his line of sight, the scriptures on the Heavenly Dao Tablet seemed to fly. Although he could not understand them at all, they carried a mysterious concept that surrounded him, causing his consciousness to drift out of his body. It was as if he had been brought into a vast world that he had never seen before ….
A mental journey into the void.
Overlooking the universe.
Ye Chen's entire mind was immersed in this wondrous comprehension. It was as if many truths about the operation of the universe were being instilled into his mind. He wanted to remember them, but he found that he didn't know what to remember. He only had a hazy feeling of enlightenment …
While Ye Chen was comprehending the Heaven Dao Tablet — —
In another place, in the entire Yanshen Empire, there were 1,008 vassal states, and countless forces were intertwined. Among these forces, the human resources department of some of the top forces were shaken.
"The new genius Ye Chen who was recruited by the empire actually defeated Sky Dragon, who was ranked 98th on the Heaven Leaderboard?"
"This kid's power amplification is actually over four million times?"
"No matter what, we must recruit this kid. If we nurture him well, he will definitely become a God-Level expert!"
"If this kid becomes a God-Level expert, he might become a top expert in terms of strength, or … surpass the God-Level!"
"Invite him!
No matter what, we must invite him! "
All the forces were ready to make a move.
Although Ye Chen was only a Demigod, in the eyes of these far-sighted forces, he was a potential stock, just like how investors on Earth bought stocks.
If they encountered a potential stock, they would definitely buy it!
As long as they were recruited by the Yanshen Empire into the Prodigy Hall, which one of them wasn't a genius?
Ordinary people had a chance to break through to the God-Level. If these people were given some training and resources, their chances of breaking through to the God-Level would be much higher than ordinary people …
In history, there were many cases of cultivation geniuses who were recruited by other forces and cultivated all the way until they broke through to the God-Level, or even surpassing the God-Level.
What did it mean to surpass the God-Level?
That was equivalent to the top force of a vassal state!
For such a genius, they would be fools not to recruit him.
"This kid's strength is not bad. If he enters the Heaven Ruin Temple, he can be listed as a genius in the Black Iron Camp. If he develops well in the future, he might even be promoted to the Silver Camp."
"Invite him."
These major forces paid close attention to each other's juniors. Once in a while, a genius would appear and immediately be sought after by the major forces.
While the various powers were making their moves, Ye Chen stood in front of the Heavenly Dao Stele, three thousand meters away. After observing for a long time, his eyes were filled with confusion. Starlight seemed to swim within his pitch-black pupils, and they flickered with the light of wisdom. His originally still body slowly took a step forward!
