On the Battle Star, the ten stone tablets floated in the air with countless names on them.
Some of the names were ordinary and unremarkable among the countless others. Some of the names were like the most dazzling stars in the universe.
These names included the Emperor's Son, Ling Yangxu, Leng Qianxue, Gunter, Bokta, Stretch, Ji Haochen, and so on …
But the most dazzling one right now was undoubtedly Wang Teng.
One person taking first place in the five forbidden zones was indeed a little too crazy.
Many people felt that this was an unbreakable record that would be engraved in history.
"The top 10,000 contestants of the ten forbidden zones will enter the second round of the arena battles!
"The arena battles will be divided into three rounds. The first round will determine the top 10,000, and the second round will determine the top 1,000.
"In the first two rounds, the top 10 of the ten forbidden zones will have a bye! They will directly enter the top 1,000!
"In the third round, the top 1,000 contestants will battle to determine the top 100 and the top 10!
"The second round of the arena battles will begin in 10 days!
"All contestants, please prepare yourselves!"
The voice reverberated through the air and into the ears of every contestant.
Everyone came to their senses and realized that the first round of the competition was completely over. The rankings were fixed and unquestionable.
And Wang Teng's first place in the five forbidden zones was the final result. There was no question about it, and it was tacitly acknowledged by the Seven Star Academies.
"The first round of elimination battles is finally over. So exciting!"
"I don't know why, but I suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. I feel like I'm about to collapse."
"This is the most exciting elimination battle I've ever seen in the Tournament of Geniuses."
"Previous poster, how many Tournament of Geniuses have you seen?"
"Just one!"
"… You've only seen one, but you're bragging as if you've seen many. Where's your shame?"
"Kekeke, everyone knows how to brag. If you do, I'll do it too."
…
As the first round of elimination battles ended, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from their shoulders.
Although there were 10 days to rest, according to the rules of the competition, the contestants who entered the next round couldn't leave the waiting area.
This was for the sake of fairness!
Many cultivators were injured in the first round of eliminations. Ten days would allow them to recover from their injuries, but during this period, they could not use any external items to heal themselves. They could only rely on their own recovery ability.
But if they left the waiting area, no one could guarantee that.
This was especially true for those participants who came from large forces. They had too many ways to quickly recover from their injuries. This was very unfair to some cultivators who had no background.
That was why there was such a rule. After all, the recovery ability of the body was also a standard to judge the strength of a martial artist.
On the three rings of the continent, the eliminated martial artists left under the guidance of the staff. They were all very depressed.
If they didn't enter the top 10,000, they wouldn't be able to participate in the next round. For them, the Battle of Geniuses was over.
Soon, the remaining 100,000 martial artists gathered on the first ring of land.
Under everyone's gaze, Wang Teng casually found an empty spot. Just like before the start of the competition, he took out a table, chairs, and umbrellas and sat down to rest. There were plenty of fruits and drinks.
These things were allowed. Wang Teng didn't break the rules.
To him, this was the best way to rest.
Moreover, he was not injured. His body was in perfect condition. He did not need to meditate and cultivate to recover from his injuries like the others.
Everyone: "…"
Although many people already knew about Wang Teng's character, they could not help but feel speechless when they saw this.
Was this guy here to compete or not?
Could he show some respect to the other participants?
Did he know that they were very hurt?
The participants were very emotional. They felt that they had been insulted.
While everyone else was nervous, there was one person who seemed extremely relaxed, even letting himself go. Who could endure this?
However, Wang Teng could not be bothered with what others thought. Those resentful gazes did not affect him at all. He just needed to get used to it.
As soon as he sat down, Song Yicheng, Hong Jinghou, Lv Jing, and several other genius martial artists from the Military Department automatically gathered around him.
"Oh, everyone's still here." Wang Teng's eyes lit up when he saw them.
"…" Song Yicheng and the others were speechless.
What did he mean by everyone's still here?
Why did that sound so unpleasant to the ears?
"Can't you look forward to our good times?" Lv Jing sat down grumpily. She took a white fruit and started chewing on it as if she was very familiar with it. The juice overflowed and the rich fruity aroma wafted out. "It's delicious. I almost couldn't come back. Now I know how enjoyable eating is."
"Looks like you've been through a lot of danger." Wang Teng did not mind. He glanced at her and said.
"No matter how much I went through, I can't compare to you." When Lv Jing said that, she could not help but look at Wang Teng as if she was looking at a monster.
Song Yicheng, Hong Jinghou, and the others also sat down around Wang Teng. They also looked at him.
Until now, they were still in disbelief.
No wonder he waited until the end when the competition started. It turned out that he was holding back his ultimate move.
He actually allowed his clone to enter the other four forbidden areas. How confident was that? Just thinking about it made them feel crazy.
In any case, if it were them, they would never have made such a decision. They did not even dare to think about it.
If they had mastered the clone technique, they would definitely enter the same forbidden area.
No, it should be said that this elimination battle was not suitable to use the clone technique at all.
Generally speaking, the power that a clone could unleash was very limited. It definitely could not reach the strength of the main body.
Moreover, the more clones one created, the weaker their strength would be. The main body's strength would also be divided.
This was basically the inherent law of the clone technique!
Hence, in the elimination battle, the clone technique was not that useful.
However, Wang Teng had forcibly broken this iron law. His main body and four clones all reached the first place of the forbidden areas.
This was not martial arts at all!
Hence, there was only one explanation. Wang Teng was a monster!
Wang Teng laughed. He did not continue the conversation. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "What's your ranking?"
"I'm ranked 16th in the first forbidden area!" Song Yicheng responded.
"I'm ranked 20th!" Lv Jing was a little depressed. "If I didn't encounter those three peak middle stage monarch level Star Beasts at the same time and suffered some injuries, my ranking would definitely be higher."
"I'm just a little short. I'm only ranked 25th." Hong Jinghou shook his head and smiled.
"Everyone's ranking is not bad," Wang Teng said in surprise.
"…" Everyone was silent for a moment. They looked at Wang Teng strangely. Lv Jing said, "Why do I feel like you're pretending?"
"No, definitely not," Wang Teng said speechlessly.
No one believed him when he was telling the truth. They even thought he was pretending. Was he the kind of person who liked to pretend?
He was indeed very surprised. These martial artists from the Military Department were actually not weak.
The forbidden areas they entered were all the first forbidden area. If they were in other forbidden areas, they might even be in the top ten!
"We still underestimated the other martial artists. We thought that with our strength, even if we entered the first forbidden area, our ranking would not be low. I didn't expect all the martial artists from these clans to be so terrifying." Song Yicheng could not help but smile bitterly.
"Yes, the geniuses of the Eight Royal Clans and the other major forces are not easy to deal with. I once knew a genius from an unknown clan who killed two peak middle stage monarch level Star Beasts by himself. He was very strong, but he was not famous before." Lv Jing shook her head.
"It's good to have many strong people," Wang Teng said with bright eyes.
"…" Everyone was speechless.
While they were exclaiming about the difficulty of the competition, Wang Teng seemed to be very excited.
Was this the difference between them and the absolute geniuses?
Did they have to be like Wang Teng and let their thoughts gradually become perverted before they could have such perverted strength?
"Ah, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!
Too terrifying!
I'd better be a normal person. "
Wang Teng had no idea what they were thinking. The reason he was so excited was because he had a premonition that there would be many attributes to pick up in the next round.
… …
While everyone was resting, the Virtual Universe Company was not idle either.
They made some of the exciting scenes of the elimination battles into short videos to promote them on a large scale.
One had to know that the geniuses in this competition were all extremely rare. Their battle methods, stances etc would definitely attract countless gazes.
For example, Leng Qianxue's battle. As a goddess, she attracted a lot of attention. Her battle methods and stances had a kind of beauty that made many male fighters excited.
Another example was Gunter, a poison type fighter, killing star beasts. That was also something worth paying attention to. Many people were very curious about the battle methods of poison type fighters. Gunter was undoubtedly the best person to broadcast.
Another example was Bo Ke Ta's battle method. It was very violent and direct, but it made people's blood boil. It was also a good selling point.
There was also Ling Yang Xu. He was a rare Thunder type fighter. His battle scenes were always accompanied by thunder and lightning. He was very majestic and handsome. Combined with his handsome looks, who knew how many female fighters would be attracted to him.
There were also Yuan Hong, Stretch, Ji Haochen, Ji Tiankuang, Suo Ye, the third prince, and the second prince. These strong fighters were also existences that could not be ignored.
Of course, the most popular ones were Wang Teng and the Crown Prince. Especially Wang Teng. His battles in the five forbidden zones had attracted a lot of attention. In addition, he was ranked first in all five forbidden zones. It was very suitable for promotion.
The scene of Wang Teng killing the Thunder monster and the Vast Ocean Single-Horned Whale, two terrifying upper-level emperor level star beasts, was extremely exciting. It was definitely the most important part of the promotion.
Finally, there was the scene of Wang Teng and the Crown Prince facing off against countless Flaming Jellyfish. The two peerless geniuses fighting at the same time was a strong contrast. Such a scene rarely appeared in the first round of elimination battles, but it did. It was shocking.
Moreover, this was also a kind of warm-up for the next round of competition between Wang Teng and the Crown Prince!
In the first round of elimination battles, Wang Teng won by a narrow margin of 560 points. The difference was not obvious, and there was even a bit of luck involved. It was impossible to determine the real gap between the two.
This way, the next round of competition would be even more interesting. Many people were looking forward to the real clash between Wang Teng and the Crown Prince to determine the final victor!
With the continuous dissemination of the videos by the Virtual Universe Company, these short videos became more and more popular. More people saw them, and the popularity of the Battle of Geniuses instantly increased by several levels.
