"The Universe Geniuses' Contest has begun …"
Someone in the Star State mumbled.
The others looked at the deep universe above their heads in shock.
"That sounds like Mu Shen's voice …"
"Is Mu Shen going to host the contest again? That's the power of the Celestial State …" Someone was looking forward to it.
Su Ping was stunned to hear the unexpected voice and the whispers of the people in the Star State. Was a Celestial speaking?
That person was as strong as the four Superior Gods in the Demigod Burial!
Even Joanna's original self was much weaker than him!
"The power of the Celestial State is truly immeasurable. He can speak in the entire universe …" Xingyue Shen 'er mumbled to herself with glittering eyes. That was the goal she had been pursuing.
The Ascendant State?
That was a level she would reach sooner or later.
But the Sovereign Realm … this was the realm that truly made her blood boil, the realm that she yearned for even in her dreams.
However, she knew that it was too far away. Countless geniuses had been born in the Universe Federation, but it was unlikely that a Celestial State expert would emerge in a thousand years!
Every Celestial State expert was the God of War of the Federation; they represented the greatest strength!
It was just like how, before the interstellar age, when human beings lived on the Blue Star, nuclear weapons were their greatest strength.
The Celestial State, on the other hand, was equal to the nuclear weapons of battle pet warriors; they had the power to destroy everything in the universe!
"I wonder what kind of monsters will be born in this year's Universe Geniuses' Contest."
"Disregarding everything else, I reckon that the person we saw in the Immortal Mansion will definitely participate in the competition. Furthermore, he has a high chance of obtaining an extremely high ranking."
"Not necessarily. Those monsters suddenly rushed out of the divine residence. It's possible that he was killed."
"It's hard to say. That kind of genius must have life-saving treasures. I don't believe that he doesn't have an Ascendant State expert behind him."
"Unfortunately, we don't have one. I was only in the Fate State during the Universe Geniuses' Contest, and I only made it to the top ten thousand of a star zone," said Shennong's Three Punches with mixed feelings.
When the others heard his words, they were all startled.
"Top ten thousand of a star zone? Senior Three Punches is so strong! "
"There are hundreds of galaxies in the entire Star Region. How many geniuses are there? No wonder Senior Three Punches can cultivate to the peak of the Starry Sky. He has such terrifying strength!"
Next to him, Father Time asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Brother Heaven Destroyer, you must've obtained a higher ranking when you participated in the Universe Geniuses' Contest, right?"
The others were stunned for a moment, then they looked at Su Ping. Su Ping's performance in the divine residence was definitely at the peak of the Star State. He was one of the top Star State experts in the entire Federation.
They would never believe that Su Ping was a nobody when he was in the Fate State.
"Back then?"
Su Ping was stunned for a moment, but when he saw everyone's expressions, he immediately reacted. He smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't participated in the Universe Geniuses Contest yet. Speaking of which, what are the benefits of participating in the Universe Geniuses Contest? What rare rewards are there if I become the champion?"
"Benefits? Reward? "
Everyone was stunned.
Xingyue Shen 'er couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look at Su Ping.
Su Ping didn't seem to know anything about the contest, or he wouldn't have pretended to be ignorant.
For someone as strong as Su Ping, pretending to be ignorant would only make him look bad.
"Brother Heaven Destroyer, you haven't participated in the Universe Geniuses' Contest? Did you miss it when you were training in seclusion? Well … "Everybody was surprised. They didn't expect that Su Ping would be so talented as to not participate in the Universe Geniuses' Contest. As for the benefits and rewards that Su Ping mentioned, they were self-explanatory!
"Brother Heaven Destroyer is indeed different from us. You didn't even bother to participate in the Genius Competition. Speaking of benefits, of course, it's great. First of all, fame. If you can rank among the top 10,000 in the Star Zone like Senior Three Punches, or even higher, you will be rewarded and appreciated by the Lord of the Star Zone …"
"You must know that the lords of star zones are all Ascendant State experts!"
Remarked a Star State expert enviously.
The others nodded. Those who distinguished themselves in their star zones and were appreciated by the Ascendant State experts would definitely have a promising future. If they were recruited as disciples, their chances of becoming Star Lords would be greatly increased!
"Appreciated by the lords of star zones?"
Su Ping asked curiously, "What if you rank higher? For example, the champion?"
"Champion?"
Someone looked at Su Ping and tried to answer his question. "If you become the champion of your star zone, you will be accepted as a disciple by the lord of your star zone. With the guidance of an Ascendant State expert, it will be easy for you to break through to the Star State. It will only be a matter of time before you become a Star Lord."
"Exactly."
The others nodded.
Su Ping realized that he had misunderstood him, so he could only ask, "What if I become the champion of the overall contest?"
"The overall contest?"
Everybody was stunned and looked at Su Ping in shock.
You're dreaming about that?
The champion of the overall contest? That's the Universe Geniuses' Contest!
Winning the championship would mean that you're the best in the entire universe!
It had to be noted that most of the contestants were geniuses; the number of top geniuses selected from various star zones was enormous!
Then, standing out from the top geniuses and winning the championship … It was a hundred million times easier than winning the lottery!
Xingyue Shen 'er slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Ping with admiration. That was exactly what she liked and believed in. That was how a person should be; they should be the best and the best!
As for whether or not you could get it, that was another matter. But first of all, you had to dream about it!
If you didn't even dare to dream about it, it would be impossible for you to achieve it.
If you didn't think about it but managed to do it, you would only be lucky!
"Winning the championship will bring great benefits," said Xingyue Shen 'er. Xingyue Shen 'er opened her mouth and said, "First of all, you will be able to pick a Celestial expert to study under your tutelage. Chances are that you will be trained as a core disciple or even a personal disciple!"
"You must know that Celestial State experts don't recruit disciples easily. Of course, I'm talking about personal disciples. Once you become a personal disciple of a Celestial State expert, it means that your senior brothers and sisters will all be in the Ascendant State!
"Even the weakest of them will be super experts in the Star Lord State!
"That's called networking!
"Secondly, the top ten of the overall contest will be given access to the SSS Divine Sea Mysterious Realm of the Federation, where you'll be able to peek at the secrets of the Ascendant State. That's also why at least two or three of the top ten of the Universe Geniuses' Contest have reached the Ascendant State!
"Don't underestimate the chances of two or three of them entering. You must know that the odds are already very high. The birth of an Ascendant State expert is one in a billion; only one in hundreds of galaxies can be born!
"The odds of an Ascendant State expert emerging among the top ten of the Universe Geniuses' Contest are at least one in five!
"Of course, those who are able to enter the top ten of the overall competition are all super monstrous geniuses who have been selected from hundreds of millions of geniuses.
"Other than that, if you manage to get into the top ten of the overall tournament, you'll be able to receive invitations from countless powers and be roped in by various organizations. To put it simply, you'll have a Zhizun realm expert as your master, and you'll be able to choose any cultivation resources you want. All you have to do is unleash your potential and cultivate diligently."
Su Ping didn't know what to say.
SSS Divine Sea Mysterious Realm?
Peek at the secrets of the Ascendant State?
He was tempted; it was indeed too tempting.
Although he hadn't even reached the Fate State yet, Su Ping knew that he would embark on the path to the Ascendant State sooner or later!
It was extremely difficult to reach the Ascendant State. Even someone like Joanna had been stuck at the Ascendant State after fighting in the Demigod Burial for so many years!
The higher one went, the more difficult it would be to cultivate.
The chance to peek at the secrets of the Ascendant State was definitely a great benefit!
"You only need to be below the Star State to participate in the contest, right?" asked Su Ping.
Xingyue Shen 'er replied without hesitation, "Yes, you have to be below the Star State. In the past Universe Geniuses' Contests, there have always been idiotic forces from planets who tried to hide their strength with the weird techniques they obtained. They pretended to be Star State experts and participated in the contest, only to be found out and severely punished!"
Su Ping nodded. He was truly below the Star State, so he didn't need to worry about that.
"I'll give it a try. Maybe I can make it to the top ten," said Su Ping with a smile.
He knew that there were a lot of geniuses in the Federation. The purple-robed young man in the divine residence was one of them. Su Ping didn't know how many people were stronger than him. Su Ping wasn't confident that he could make it to the top ten, but it was worth a shot to peek at the secrets of the Ascendant State.
"You're going to participate?"
Everybody was stunned to hear Su Ping's words. Then, they opened their mouths in shock.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that someone finally realized what was going on. He couldn't help but say, "Brother Heaven Destroyer, only those below the Star State can participate in the Universe Geniuses' Contest. Our leader said just now that it's pointless to disguise yourself if you're above the Star State. Nobody can fool the Celestial State experts."
"Yes, Brother Heaven Destroyer, you'd better not take the risk."
The others quickly tried to persuade him. They could tell that Su Ping was quite tempted by the rewards. It wasn't surprising, as nobody could resist the rewards of the contest. However, they didn't even dare to think about making it to the top ten of the contest. Even the top ten of their star zone was too far away, not to mention that their cultivation had already exceeded the threshold.
Nobody dared to cheat in front of a Celestial State expert. It was impossible!
Xingyue Shen 'er also frowned and looked at Su Ping in confusion.
Seeing their reactions, Su Ping knew that he would be exposed sooner or later if he were to participate in the contest. He said, "Well, who says I'm going to cheat? I'm perfectly qualified to participate in the contest."
"…"
Everybody was stunned. There was silence for a few seconds.
The group of people stared at each other in confusion.
Their eyes widened even more when they realized what he meant. Then, they gasped and gasped. Father Time said in a trembling voice, "B-Brother Heaven Destroyer, you're saying that your level is perfectly suitable for the job? Could it be … "
"You're not hiding your cultivation?" Xingyue Shen 'er realized the reason too. She couldn't help but exclaim in shock despite her calmness.
She had never sensed that Su Ping's real cultivation had been stuck at the Void State. She was the first to think of the reason.
Only if Su Ping's cultivation was real would she be unable to sense Su Ping's hidden cultivation!
After all, he wasn't hiding his cultivation at all. How could she have sensed it?
Thinking that through, Xingyue Shen 'er was stunned. The deputy leader next to her narrowed his eyes in shock too.
That young man was only at the Void State?!
They had all witnessed the strength that Su Ping had demonstrated in the battle in the divine residence. He was as strong as a peak Star Rank expert, if not a top Star Rank expert!
The purple-robed young man had defeated all the Star State experts with a Fate State cultivation. That was already shocking enough.
However, Su Ping, who had defeated him, was one level lower than him?
What kind of freaking monster was this!!
Everybody's mouths were wide open as they looked at Su Ping, dumbfounded.
This "Brother Heaven Destroyer", whom they treated as brothers and revered, was only at the Void State …?
That didn't make sense!
Among the crowd, O 'Neil's mind was buzzing, and his scalp was numb.
Void State … Void State …
Those words popped up in his head again and again. He also remembered the scene in Su Ping's shop. He knew that the young man wasn't just a battle pet warrior; he was also a grandmaster trainer!
It would have been acceptable if Su Ping had been at the peak of the Star State for countless years, but how long could a Void State cultivator live?
Besides, Su Ping's combat ability was too horrifying and unbelievable!
How could he still be in the mood to be a trainer, a grandmaster trainer, when he was so powerful?!
I'm afraid I'm dreaming?
O 'Neil was dumbfounded, as if he had been struck by lightning.
The silence wasn't broken until several minutes later. Xingyue Shen 'er stared at Su Ping with burning eyes and asked, "Are you serious? Are you really in the Void State?"
Although she had made the assumption, she still found it hard to believe.
She wasn't nearly as talented as Su Ping when she was in the Void State. She could only fight mid phase Star State experts at best, which was already enough for her to be superior to her peers.
Don't forget that the person in her family is in the Ascendant State!
That was the best she could do, even if she had been trained by him. However, she was definitely one of the best among the Ascendant State juniors.
"Well …" Su Ping didn't know what to say. I've never kept it a secret from you. Can't you tell?
Everybody fell silent again after Su Ping nodded.
Everybody felt a storm was raging in their heads; the news was too shocking.
"Well, feel free to look around. I'm going to train in seclusion. By the way, do you know where I can sign up for the Universe Geniuses' Contest?" Su Ping coughed and asked.
Xingyue Shen 'er came back to herself and said, "You don't need to sign up. I'll take you to the Divine Residence Academy. You can skip the preliminaries."
