"How dare a Grade One Void Beast bare its fangs and claws in front of me."
After killing a Grade One Void Beast, Lian Hongyun shook off the blood on her sword, grabbed the Void Qi, and swallowed it.
Similar scenes were happening everywhere in the Azure Sky Virtual World.
In the Night Dark Tribe, a thousand names appeared on the Galaxy Genius List formed by the green light in the sky. A thousand names was the upper limit.
Chu Mu was at the top of the list, followed by Zhu Tiantong and Chen Gang.
When the Galaxy Genius List was full, the geniuses on the list would be able to know the ranking of the Galaxy Genius List.
"Chu Mu, the first place of a mere hegemon rank sword sect's secret inheritance will be temporarily held by you. Very soon, it will be mine." Zhu Tiantong laughed coldly and said.
Like Zhu Tiantong, many geniuses who were confident in themselves said the same thing.
Getting first place did not cause Chu Mu to lose his rationality. He remained calm and did not feel surprised at all. Chu Mu continued to hunt first rank Void Beasts.
So far, he had killed the third Red Eyed Wolf alone.
The first time he fought with a Crimson-eyed Wolf, due to the huge disparity between his physique and that of the Crimson-eyed Wolf, he had no choice but to use the power of vibration and sword intent in order to kill it. After killing a Crimson-eyed Wolf, he absorbed a surge of ethereal energy. Not only did the injuries he had sustained from using the power of vibration heal, his physique had also improved.
With this upgrade, Chu Mu had improved in all aspects. Being a Sword Master had already become an instinct for him, and he was adept at using the upgraded abilities in all aspects. His strength had clearly increased. The second time he faced the Red Eyed Wolf, it was easier for him to kill it. After absorbing another strand of Void Aura, his strength was even stronger, reaching the standard of three thousand jin.
The difference between a thousand kilograms of strength and ten thousand kilograms of strength was very clear. If he didn't have the vibrating energy imprinted in his soul and the newly comprehended sword intent, even if Chu Mu had an incomparably exquisite sword technique and exquisite fighting technique, he still wouldn't be able to kill the Red Eyed Wolf. After all, the sharpness of the metal sword in his hand wasn't enough to break through the Red Eyed Wolf's tough fur.
After killing the third Red Eyed Wolf and absorbing the third wisp of Void Qi, Chu Mu felt that his physique had improved and his strength had reached two thousand jin.
The stronger one's physique was, the more powerful one's strength would be, and the more powerful one's vibrational force would be.
More and more people rushed into the wilderness. Most of them were in groups of at least five people.
With five geniuses working together, each of them possessed exceptional battle experience and skills. They were also extremely familiar with swordsmanship, possessing profound mastery over basic swordsmanship, and their ability to utilize their strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. With the five of them working together, they were more than capable of dealing with a Crimson-eyed Wolf and slaying it.
As long as they killed a Crimson-eyed Wolf and obtained a wisp of Ethereal Qi, one of them would be able to absorb it to strengthen their physique. With the increase in their strength, they would be able to continue hunting for more Ethereal Qi, thus increasing their success rate and speed.
Crimson-eyed Wolves rarely gathered in packs. If they were alone, they would be relatively easy to kill.
They encountered another Red Eyed Wolf. When it saw Chu Mu, it immediately attacked ferociously. Chu Mu stared at the Red Eyed Wolf. The strengthening of the Void Qi had strengthened his physique. With the improvement of his physique, his thinking speed had also increased. After comprehending the Sword Intent, his thinking speed had become even faster. His eyes were sharp and his six senses were strengthened.
Grasping the Red Eyed Wolf's trajectory, Xiao Chen executed a slash with his sword intent. With a light flick of his wrist, he activated the vibrational force.
With a 'puchi' sound, the incomparably sharp sword cut through the Red Eyed Wolf's throat. Under the huge vibrational force, the Red Eyed Wolf's body was sent flying to the side. Blood gushed out from its throat.
After killing the fourth Red Eyed Wolf, Xiao Chen obtained another wisp of Ethereal Qi. After absorbing it, his physique was strengthened once more.
Five thousand jin of strength.
The difference between Xiao Chen's five thousand jin of strength and the Red Eyed Wolf's five thousand jin of strength was double. However, for an expert like Chu Mu who was proficient in using every ounce of strength, the might of his five thousand jin of strength was stronger than the Red Eyed Wolf's five thousand jin of strength.
After all, the Red Eyed Wolf was a beast. It did not have much intelligence, only the instincts of a beast.
"I'm a little hungry. Let's hunt one more before returning to the Night Dark Tribe." Chu Mu thought to himself. He looked at the sky and saw that the blazing sun had already turned into the setting sun. The light was not that bright anymore. Clearly, it was going to be dusk soon. In another two hours, it would be night.
It was recorded in that book that the wilderness at night was ten times more dangerous than during the day.
The wilderness that was ten times more dangerous was even more terrifying. Chu Mu was not so reckless as to think that he could survive in the wilderness at night.
Suddenly, his mind trembled. After three breaths, Chu Mu's eyes shone with a terrifying light. His face was filled with shock.
There was actually someone who had already reached the First Celestial Layer. Whether it was Qi Refinement or Body Refinement, to reach the First Celestial Layer in just half a day was extremely shocking.
According to the situation where absorbing one wisp of Ethereal Qi would increase one thousand jin of strength, in order to reach the First Celestial Layer, one would have to absorb nine wisps of Ethereal Qi, increasing one's strength from one thousand jin to ten thousand jin.
Chu Mu felt that his speed was already not slow. However, he had only killed four Red Eyed Wolves and increased his strength to five thousand jin.
"There are really geniuses coming out in large numbers. Demons are everywhere. I cannot underestimate them," Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
He also could not think of a way to kill nine Red Eyed Wolves and obtain nine wisps of Ethereal Qi in such a short period of time.
As if his fighting spirit had been aroused, Chu Mu felt his blood flow accelerate slightly. He felt a little excited and a little stimulated. This kind of competition was interesting. Otherwise, if one was far ahead and no one could compare, one would eventually feel lonely, without pressure and without motivation.
As the first genius reached the First Celestial Layer, green light gathered above the vital planets of the four major galaxies of the Human Race. It formed a list that was a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times larger than the Galaxy Genius List. The list slowly opened from top to bottom, as if a curtain had been opened.
The Heaven Ascension List!
The three large words seemed to be burning with green and golden flames. Everyone on the vital planet could see them.
"The Heaven Ascension List …" Everyone was shocked.
The three large words had the power of heaven and earth condensed. It was vast and boundless, grand and majestic.
"The Heaven Ascension List. You have reached the heavens in a single step," an almighty exclaimed.
On the Heaven Ascension List, a bright golden light bloomed under the three large words. It condensed like an invisible pen and drew a name.
Gu Luankong's Genius Points: 3000!
After the name, there were only Genius Points and nothing else. Therefore, many people did not know where Gu Luankong came from.
Normally, when a disciple of a sect or family was listed on the list, other than the name, there would also be a disciple of a sect or family behind it. This was decided at the time of the registration.
There were only two possibilities for the contestants who did not have a name. One was a free swordsman who did not belong to any force. The other was that he did not belong to any force but had a powerful backer, such as a descendant of a Great Emperor.
Obviously, it was impossible for the Free Sword Cultivator to be ranked first on the Heaven Ascension List. He was ranked first among the millions of geniuses who had entered the Heaven Azure Empty World. A more accurate guess was that Gu Luankong was the descendant of some great emperor.
The descendants of some Great Emperors were more outstanding than the Divine Sons.
After about fifteen minutes, the second name appeared on the Heaven Ascension List.
Qin Ao's Genius Points: 3000!
Like Gu Luankong, he did not have a name. He might be the descendant of a Great Emperor.
Within two hours, names appeared one after another. There was a total of ten names.
…
Chu Mu held the three streaks of Ethereal Qi in his left hand. He held the black iron sword in his right hand and looked at the dark sky. He turned around and walked back to the Dark Night Tribe.
"Gu Luankong … Qin Ao 'xian … Yang Zhantian …"
As he walked back to the Dark Night Tribe, he murmured the ten names that appeared on the Heaven Ascension List. Chu Mu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Up until now, he had killed seven Red Eyed Wolves and obtained seven streaks of Ethereal Qi. He had absorbed four streaks of Ethereal Qi. He did not plan to absorb the remaining three streaks of Ethereal Qi as he was very hungry and needed to eat. Perhaps the three streaks of Ethereal Qi would come in handy.
The wilderness was more dangerous at night. The swordsmen all returned.
"Brother, please lend the Ethereal Qi in your hand to us for now. We will pay you back double the amount in the future." Just as Chu Mu walked across the wooden bridge, someone blocked his way. He glanced at Chu Mu's left hand with a sharp gaze and met Chu Mu's eyes.
"I have a use for them." Chu Mu said. Even if the other party would pay him back double the amount in a short time, he would not lend out the three streaks of Ethereal Qi. He did have a use for them.
At this moment, everyone wanted Ethereal Qi, even if it was just a first-grade Ethereal Qi.
"Sir, I am Qiu Minglei, the esoteric disciple of the Dark Night Sword Sect. I am ranked eighty-seventh on the Galaxy Genius List. I promise with my integrity that if you lend me the Ethereal Qi now, I will pay you back double the amount in the future." This person did not give up. He mentioned his background and his ranking on the Galaxy Genius List as if he was trying to make himself more persuasive. In fact, he was threatening Ye Futian.
"Oh, eighty-seventh. I thought you were Gu Luankong." Chu Mu said lightly, which made Qiu Minglei's face turn sour.
"Don't be too arrogant when you see me all the time." Qiu Minglei said coldly. He did not know Chu Mu's identity, but he was a genius and a esoteric disciple of the Dark Night Sword Sect. He was also ranked in the top one hundred on the Galaxy Genius List. He had the right to be arrogant.
"I am that arrogant." Qiu Minglei's words caused Chu Mu to laugh involuntarily. He couldn't help but sigh. Even amongst geniuses, there were people who lacked brains. Perhaps their brains were damaged from training. "I'm called Chu Mu. If you don't like me and want to teach me a lesson, I won't object."
"Chu Mu …" Qiu Minglei's pupils contracted. The others around him were also shocked.
There were more than thirty thousand geniuses in the Dark Night Tribe. Chu Mu was ranked first on the Galaxy Genius List. Everyone knew about him, but not many people knew who he was.
Looking at Chu Mu's back, Qiu Minglei clenched his teeth. He felt embarrassed being watched by so many people. He hated Chu Mu.
