From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

The faces of the many geniuses were filled with disbelief, stunned by the power Mixed Void had suddenly unleashed.

In their eyes, Lan Yu was already an unbelievable genius, impossible to catch up to.

But the mighty Lan Yu—the same Lan Yu who had previously been able to instantly defeat any opponent—had suffered the same fate at Mixed Void’s hands: instant defeat!

It wasn’t just these geniuses; even the top-tier powerhouses at the Deity level showed a hint of shock.

”Mixed Void actually insta-killed Lan Yu!”

”That level of power is definitely close to the Late Star Lord Realm!”

”Someone at the Peak of Law Realm whose power has leaped all the way to the Late Star Lord Realm! He’s skipped over two major realms and seven minor realms!”

”The higher you go, the harder it is to jump realms. Surpassing the Early Stage of the Star Lord Realm is something seen only once every few hundred million years. This Mixed Void is truly... unbelievable.”

Even these powerful, top-tier Deities were stunned by Mixed Void’s Talent.

And it wasn’t just them. In the higher void, the Emperor Level powerhouses’ eyes flashed with a terrifying light when they witnessed Mixed Void’s burst of power!

”This Mixed Void’s power is close to the Late Star Lord Realm!”

”A genius like this last appeared over nine hundred billion years ago!”

”In all the records of geniuses in our entire Human Race, Mixed Void’s level of strength is enough to rank him ninety-ninth!”

The eyes of these powerful Emperors shone with astonishing light, and a fervent glow even began to surface within them.

The Human Race had developed for an unknown number of years, producing countless geniuses and countless powerhouses!

And now Mixed Void, among all the Law Realm geniuses in the entire history of the Human Race, had a Talent that could rank ninety-ninth!

”Haha, I feel a certain affinity with this Mixed Void. I plan on taking him as my disciple.”

”Get lost, Ling Wu! You use a saber, what business do you have taking him as a disciple? Mixed Void uses a sword as his weapon; he’s clearly better suited to be my disciple!”

”Wu Xu, one’s weapon isn’t the only thing that matters in cultivation. A genius might use various weapons throughout their development.”

”Hmph. Taking on a disciple isn’t about weapons. It depends on Mixed Void’s own choice.”

These mighty Emperor Level powerhouses had actually started fighting over Mixed Void, all of them wanting to take him as their disciple.

A genius who could rank in the top one hundred in the entire history of the Human Race! Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a Talent?

...

Mixed Void’s sudden explosion of power had triggered a dispute among the many Emperor Level powerhouses.

Back in Li Yang’s area, the eyes of every genius were still filled with shock.

”This Mixed Void’s power...”

Li Yang was also stunned by Mixed Void’s strength!

Lan Yu was already so powerful he was hard to resist; it was impossible to say how long it would take to catch up to him. Even if he mastered the fourth form of the Hexagram Spear, he would be no match for Lan Yu.

And yet, in front of Mixed Void, Lan Yu could only be instantly defeated!

Beside him, Mute’s mouth hung open. After a long moment, he shook his head and said resignedly, ”Alright, I admit I was wrong just now. This Mixed Void really is unfathomable.”

He had just been insisting that Lan Yu was stronger than Mixed Void, only for Lan Yu to be instantly defeated.

Despite this, an even crazier battle lust emerged in Mute’s eyes.

”Haha, interesting! I’m even more excited about training in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall now.”

He wasn’t intimidated by Mixed Void’s power; on the contrary, he felt even more motivated.

Hearing Mute’s words, Li Yang felt the same.

’Instantly defeat Lan Yu, huh?’

His blood boiled with excitement. Among all the geniuses, there was no single number one, only someone stronger!

He too was now filled with fighting spirit for the training to come, for the competition against Mute, Long Zhan, Lan Yu, and Mixed Void!

’Being strong now doesn’t mean you’ll be this strong forever!’

In the crowd, the youngest of them, Dilunxi, watched the stunned faces around him and thought to himself, ’Mixed Void... strong enough to insta-kill Lan Yu?’

A light glinted in his eyes. ’You can all enjoy the spotlight for now. One day, I’ll crush not just Lan Yu, but Mixed Void too under my foot. I, Dilunxi, am the true number one!’

He had absolute confidence in his own Talent.

While the various geniuses had their own thoughts, Lan Yu, who had just reappeared below the arena, was dazed.

’I was eliminated?’

From the very beginning of his cultivation, he had always been the strongest genius of his generation. No one had ever been able to compare to him.

But now, he had been surpassed by a peer, one whose power completely crushed his!

It was a feeling he had never experienced before.

However, after only a moment’s daze, a trace of fighting spirit returned to Lan Yu’s eyes.

’Good. Being number one all the time is boring!’

He finally had a clear goal in his heart: to catch up to Mixed Void, and even surpass him!

WHOOSH!

On the stage, the final victor, Mixed Void, also vanished and reappeared in the vast area.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze fell upon him.

Shock, awe... Before, in everyone’s minds, Mixed Void and Lan Yu were tied for first place. But now, Mixed Void was undoubtedly the absolute number one!

Despite winning first place, Mixed Void remained perfectly calm, his gaze unperturbed, as if nothing could stir his emotions.

It seemed as though taking first place was the most normal thing in the world to him.

WHOOSH!

Just then, a figure flashed in the area above, and Longyan Emperor appeared.

”Not bad.”

Longyan Emperor looked down at the geniuses below, a satisfied expression on his face. ”Even at the very end, you all still had many surprises for me.”

He glanced at Mixed Void. In this genius selection competition held by the Saint Hall, Mixed Void was undoubtedly the biggest surprise, drawing the attention of countless high-ranking members of the Human Race!

”Everyone’s rankings have been decided. The rewards you are entitled to based on your rank will be distributed once you have truly arrived at the Saint Hall.”

At present, the numerous geniuses were still scattered across their respective Star Continents.

”Additionally, the Saint Hall will dispatch special personnel to your respective Star Continents to escort you. This will take two months at most, so please be patient.”

”You will have the next two months to handle your affairs. Once you arrive at the Saint Hall, it will not be easy for you to leave again.”

”Alright. Finally, welcome, everyone, to our Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall! I hope that in the future, you can all become top-tier powerhouses of our Human Race!”

Longyan Emperor said with a smile.

WHOOSH!

After speaking, Longyan Emperor’s figure vanished.

’It’s over.’

Among the three thousand geniuses, Li Yang stood silently, sighing to himself.

He was only twenty-five years old and had started cultivating at eighteen; his entire cultivation career had only lasted seven or eight years.

And this genius selection for the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall had lasted for more than five years! Now, the selection was finally over, and he had secured his place in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall with a tenth-place finish.
