DipNovel Chapter 162 Ultimate Showdown
Chapter 162 Ultimate Showdown
After the top five were determined, the atmosphere in the central square reached its climax.
Of the 1000 geniuses and 1008 powerful immortals, all eyes were on five individuals: Bolan, Lin Yun, Luo Feng, Qian Shui, and Wu Ka. They would be the five strongest contenders in this year's Genius Battle, and two of them would enter the Primal Secret Realm to enjoy the top-tier training resources of the Virtual Universe Company.
In mid-air, the figure of the man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales reappeared. His voice was ethereal, echoing in everyone's ears: "The top five will participate in a round-robin battle, with the following rules—each person will fight one battle against each of the other four. The winner will receive one point, and the loser will receive no points. In the end, based on the ranking of points, the top two will enter the Primordial Secret Realm, and the remaining three will enter the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm."
"The order of battles is randomly arranged by the virtual universe system."
"Now, the cycle of reincarnation begins!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a huge arena appeared in the central square. The arena was more exquisite and luxurious than the previous one, and the translucent light membrane reflected seven colors of light under the illumination of the light sphere.
The five prodigies were teleported to the rest area at the edge of the arena. A huge screen appeared in mid-air, displaying the match order.
On the screen, the names of the five players are listed in order, and the battle order appears one by one.
Match 1: Luo Feng vs. Uka.
Second match: Lin Yun versus Qian Shui.
Third match: Bolan vs. Luo Feng.
Fourth match: Lin Yun vs. Uka.
Match 5: Berlan vs. Qianshui.
Match 6: Luo Feng vs. Lin Yun.
Match 7: Uka vs. Thousand Waters.
Match 8: Berlan vs. Uka.
Ninth match: Luo Feng versus Qian Shui.
Match 10: Lin Yun vs. Bolan.
Upon seeing this order, a stir broke out in the crowd.
"Lin Yun's match against Bolan has been scheduled for the last game!"
"They're saving the best for last!"
"After the previous points matches, the last game may be the decisive battle to determine the first and second place teams."
Lin Yun glanced at the screen, his expression calm. His first three opponents were Qian Shui, Wu Ka, and Luo Feng, while Bo Lan's first three opponents were Luo Feng, Qian Shui, and Wu Ka. Both of them had a chance to win all three of their first matches and then face off in the final match.
"Interesting," Lin Yun said softly.
Luo Feng stood beside him, looking at the order on the screen, and laughed, "Looks like we'll be facing off soon."
"I'm really looking forward to it," Lin Yun said.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing fighting spirit in each other's eyes, but even more so, a tacit understanding between brothers.
Match 1: Luo Feng vs. Uka.
Uka is the prince of Manka Star, his eyes filled with a fanatical fighting spirit. His fighting style is violent and direct, he excels in close combat, and every punch and kick carries earth-shattering power.
Luo Feng stood on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, carrying the Divine Weapon on his back, his expression calm.
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
Uka launched the first attack. His body transformed into a streak of light, moving with astonishing speed. His fist, glowing with golden light, slammed straight at Luo Feng's face. His fist technique was fierce and domineering, each punch seemingly capable of tearing space apart.
Luo Feng did not take the attack head-on. He stepped on the Dark Cloud Shuttle and used the Nine-Line Flowing Body Technique, leaving nine illusory bodies in mid-air, easily dodging Uka's attack.
"You dodged pretty fast!" Uka grinned and pounced again.
Luo Feng stopped dodging. Nine golden streaks of light flew out from the dark gold staff behind him, instantly combining into nine golden phantom swords. Entangled by the golden aura, the nine golden sword rainbows roared towards Uka like nine golden dragons.
Uka parried with a punch, the golden fist energy colliding with the golden phantom sword, unleashing a deafening roar. Although Uka's fist technique was powerful, he gradually became overwhelmed by the simultaneous attack of nine phantom swords.
"Sky Piercing Strike!"
Luo Feng let out a low shout, and the nine golden phantom swords merged and combined in mid-air to form a real golden sword. The golden sword was about one foot long, composed of eighty-one small golden swords, fitting together perfectly, with mysterious patterns on its surface, exuding an ancient aura.
The golden sword transformed into a golden comet, piercing straight at Uka.
Uka's expression changed, and he crossed his fists to block. The golden sword struck his fist, bursting forth with a dazzling light.
"boom--"
Uka was thrown back and crashed heavily onto the ring. Fine cracks appeared on his fists, and blood seeped from between his fingers.
"Luo Feng wins!" the referee's voice rang out.
Luo Feng sheathed his sword, his expression calm. Uka got up from the ground, looked at Luo Feng, his eyes full of admiration.
"Your Sky Piercing Technique is very strong, I lost." Uka grinned, "But I'll definitely win next time."
"Looking forward to our next encounter," Luo Feng said.
Second match: Lin Yun versus Qian Shui.
Qian Shui is a peerless genius from Planet Augustus, who cultivates the laws of water, and her swordsmanship is agile and unpredictable. Her sword is like flowing water, penetrating everywhere and making it impossible to defend against.
Lin Yun stood in the center of the arena, holding a battle sword, purple lightning flashing on the blade.
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
Qian Shui launched the first attack. Her body transformed into a streak of azure light, her swordsmanship light and agile, stabbing at Lin Yun from all angles. Her sword speed was extremely fast, each strike carrying the suppleness and penetrating power of the water law.
But Lin Yun's Law of Lightning was even faster. A lightning domain unfolded, purple lightning enveloping a hundred-meter radius around it. The power of the resonating lightning suppressed Qian Shui's speed, while the lightning speed propelled Lin Yun's blade to its absolute limit.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Swords clashed, sparks flew. Although Qian Shui's swordsmanship was exquisite, every attack was precisely blocked within Lin Yun's lightning domain.
"Your sword is fast, but it's not enough," Lin Yun said.
He no longer passively defended, but took the initiative to attack. Lightning condensed on his battle blade, and with a single slash, the lightning exploded, transforming into several arcs of lightning that rushed towards Qian Shui from different directions.
Qian Shui's expression changed slightly as she desperately swung her sword to block. But the lightning arcs were too fast; she blocked three, but the fourth struck her shoulder. Her body stiffened abruptly, her movements slowing by half a beat.
Lin Yun seized the opportunity, his body transforming into a streak of purple lightning, instantly rushing to Qian Shui's side.
A sword was placed against her neck.
"Lin Yunsheng!" the referee's voice rang out.
From start to finish, it takes less than ten moves.
Qian Shui sheathed his sword, looked at Lin Yun, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.
"Your lightning magic is very strong," she said softly.
"Your water system principles are also very ingenious," Lin Yun said.
The two exchanged a glance and then stepped back.
Third match: Bolan vs. Luo Feng.
This is one of the battles everyone has been looking forward to. Bolan is widely recognized as the number one genius in this competition; Luo Feng, a madman who has risen from the bottom to become the best, has just defeated Long Yun, whose defense is astonishing.
The two stood facing each other on the ring.
Bolan, clad in white and wielding a blood-red sword, remained calm, as if everything was under his control. Luo Feng, riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle and carrying the Divine Weapon on his back, had a fighting spirit gleaming in his eyes.
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
Luo Feng launched the first attack. Nine golden phantom swords flew out simultaneously, piercing towards Bo Lan from different directions. His phantom sword technique, honed through countless trials, had reached a level of consummate skill.
But Bolan's figure suddenly blurred. He activated the laws of space at full power, leaving dozens of illusory bodies in the air, attacking simultaneously from all directions. The blood sword, carrying a sharp sword intent, pierced straight at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng's expression changed, and he desperately dodged on his Dark Cloud Shuttle while simultaneously manipulating nine golden illusion swords to defend himself. However, his illusion swords were unable to lock onto their targets in front of Bo Lan's spatial illusion.
"Sky Piercing Strike!"
Luo Feng gritted his teeth and merged the nine golden illusion swords into one. The golden sword transformed into a golden comet, piercing straight at Bolan's true form.
A hint of surprise flashed in Berlan's eyes. He swung his blood sword, and a sharp sword aura collided with the golden sword.
"boom--"
The golden sword was knocked away, and Luo Feng's body was also pushed backward by the recoil. Bo Lan's figure appeared in front of him, the blood sword stopped at his throat.
"Berlan wins!" the referee's voice rang out.
Luo Feng stood on the arena, panting heavily. His eyes held no resentment, only admiration for the strong.
"You're very strong," Luo Feng said.
"You're not weak either," Berlan said calmly. "Your Sky Piercing Technique is already capable of threatening me."
The two stepped aside.
There was a buzz of discussion in the central square.
"Bolan is too strong; even Luo Feng's Sky Piercing Technique couldn't do anything to him."
"Luo Feng is already very strong, but Bo Lan is even stronger."
"I wonder what the outcome will be when Lin Yun faces Bolan."
Fourth match: Lin Yun vs. Uka.
Uka stood on the arena, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. He had lost to Luo Feng in the previous match, but he was not discouraged. The Manka aliens never feared defeat; they only craved stronger opponents.
"Lin Yun, I know you're strong," Uka grinned, "but I won't give up easily!"
"Come on." Lin Yun drew his battle sword.
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
Uka launched the first attack. His body transformed into a golden streak of light, his fist carrying earth-shattering power as it slammed into Lin Yun. His fist technique was fierce and domineering, each punch seemingly capable of tearing space apart.
Lin Yun did not dodge. The lightning domain unfolded, and purple lightning enveloped the space within a hundred meters around him. After Uka rushed into the lightning domain, his speed decreased sharply, and his movements became sluggish.
"Heavenly Thunder Break!"
With a single slash, lightning bolts as thin as hair shot straight towards Uka's chest. Uka had no time to dodge and was struck by the lightning bolts, his body turning into specks of light and dissipating.
"Lin Yunsheng!" the referee's voice rang out.
From start to finish, it took less than five seconds.
A gasp of amazement filled the central square.
"That's too strong! Uka couldn't even withstand a single move!"
"Has Lin Yun's Law of Thunder reached this level?"
"His battle with Berlan will definitely be a fierce and epic clash!"
Uka was teleported back to the rest area, looking at Lin Yun with shock in his eyes.
"Your Law of Lightning is even stronger than Luo Feng's," Uka said.
Lin Yun smiled but did not answer.
Match 5: Berlan vs. Qianshui.
Qian Shui stood on the arena, her expression solemn. She knew Bo Lan was strong, but she wouldn't admit defeat easily.
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
Qian Shui launched the first attack. Her swordsmanship was agile and unpredictable, thrusting at Bo Lan from various angles. The flexibility and penetrating power of the Water Law were brought to their fullest potential in her hands.
But Bolan was too fast. His body transformed into a white streak of light, easily dodging all of Qian Shui's attacks. With a swing of his blood sword, a sharp sword aura shot straight towards Qian Shui.
Qian Shui raised her sword to parry, but was forced back several steps by the impact. Bo Lan appeared before her, his blood-stained sword resting against her throat.
"Berlan wins!" the referee's voice rang out.
From start to finish, it took less than ten seconds.
Qian Shui sheathed his sword, looking at Bo Lan with complex emotions in his eyes.
"You're too strong," she said softly.
Berlan didn't say anything, turned around and walked back to the rest area.
Match 6: Luo Feng vs. Lin Yun.
This is a duel between brothers.
The two stood facing each other on the arena. Luo Feng rode the Dark Cloud Shuttle and carried the Divine Weapon on his back; Lin Yun held a battle blade, purple lightning flashing on its edge.
"I never thought we'd actually be facing off in the ring," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"I didn't expect this either," Lin Yun said. "However, I won't show any mercy."
"Me too." Luo Feng's eyes flashed with fighting spirit.
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
Luo Feng launched the first attack. Nine golden phantom swords flew out simultaneously, piercing towards Lin Yun from different directions. His phantom sword technique, honed through countless trials, had reached a level of consummate skill.
Lin Yun unleashed his lightning domain, purple lightning enveloping a space of about a hundred meters around him. The nine golden phantom swords, after flying into the lightning domain, experienced a sharp decrease in speed and power.
"Heavenly Thunder Break!"
With a single slash, lightning bolts as thin as hair shot straight towards Luo Feng. Luo Feng's expression changed, and he desperately dodged on his Dark Cloud Shuttle while simultaneously manipulating nine golden illusion swords to defend himself.
"Sky Piercing Strike!"
Luo Feng gritted his teeth and merged the nine golden illusion swords into one. The golden sword transformed into a golden comet that collided with the lightning line.
"boom--"
Lightning and golden light intertwined, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance. Luo Feng was so shocked that he staggered backward, and Lin Yun also took a step back.
"Your Sky Piercing Technique is very strong," Lin Yun said, "but it's not enough."
He ceased passive defense and instead launched an offensive. His body transformed into a streak of purple lightning, moving at incredible speed. Lightning condensed on his battle blade, and he unleashed a barrage of strikes, one after another, like a torrential downpour.
Luo Feng desperately tried to defend himself, but Lin Yun's attacks were too fast and too fierce. Although his Divine Weapon was powerful, it was always a step too slow in the face of Lin Yun's Law of Thunder.
"Heavenly Profound Thunder Break - Limit!"
With a single slash, the lightning bolts, as thin as hair, moved even faster than before. Luo Feng had no time to dodge and was struck in the shoulder by the lightning bolts, his body turning into specks of light and dissipating.
"Lin Yunsheng!" the referee's voice rang out.
Luo Feng was teleported back to the rest area. Looking at Lin Yun, he smiled wryly and said, "You are indeed stronger than me."
"You're already very strong," Lin Yun said, "but you still need more time."
Match 7: Uka vs. Thousand Waters.
The two were evenly matched in strength, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Uka's fist techniques were fierce and domineering, while Qianshui's sword techniques were agile and unpredictable. The two exchanged dozens of blows, and in the end, Uka, relying on the strong physique of the Manka aliens, withstood a sword strike from Qianshui and landed a punch on her.
"Uka wins!"
Match 8: Berlan vs. Uka.
Uka stood on the ring, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. He knew Berlan was strong, but he wouldn't give up easily.
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
Uka launched the first attack. His body transformed into a golden streak of light, his fist carrying earth-shattering power as it slammed straight at Berlan.
Berlan's figure suddenly blurred. He activated the laws of space at full power, leaving dozens of illusory bodies in the air, attacking simultaneously from all directions. The blood sword, carrying a sharp sword intent, pierced straight towards Uka.
Uka's expression changed drastically, and he desperately swung his fists to block. But Berlan was too fast; his fists struck only an illusion, while Berlan's real body had already appeared behind him.
The blood-stained sword stopped at the back of his neck.
"Berlan wins!" the referee's voice rang out.
Uka stood on the ring, panting heavily, his eyes filled with shock.
"You're too strong," he said.
Berlan didn't say anything, turned around and walked back to the rest area.
Ninth match: Luo Feng versus Qian Shui.
Qian Shui stood on the arena, her face grave. She had already lost three matches in a row; this was her last hope.
Luo Feng stood on the Dark Cloud Shuttle, carrying the Divine Weapon on his back, his expression calm.
"The final battle in the arena begins!"
Qian Shui launched the first attack. Her swordsmanship was agile and unpredictable, stabbing at Luo Feng from various angles.
Luo Feng did not dodge. Nine golden phantom swords flew out simultaneously, piercing Qian Shui from different directions. His phantom sword technique was extremely powerful, and Qian Shui could only desperately parry.
"Sky Piercing Strike!"
Luo Feng let out a low shout, and the nine golden illusion swords merged into one, transforming into a golden comet that pierced straight into the Thousand Waters.
Qian Shui raised her sword to parry, but was forced back several steps by the impact. The golden sword flew at her again, and before she could dodge, it struck her in the chest.
"Luo Feng wins!" the referee's voice rang out.
Luo Feng sheathed his sword, his expression calm. With two wins and two losses in four matches, he had already secured third place.
Qian Shui stood on the arena, having lost all four matches, ranking fifth. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Next time, I'll be stronger," she whispered.

The five players' records are as follows:
Bolan: Three wins (against Luo Feng, Qian Shui, and Wu Ka), with one last match against Lin Yun.
Lin Yun: Three wins (against Qian Shui, Wu Ka, and Luo Feng), with only one match left against Bo Lan.

In the central square, the figure of the man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales reappeared. His voice, ethereal and echoing in everyone's ears, announced: "The first four rounds of the cycle battles are over. Currently, Bolan and Lin Yun are tied for first place with three wins each. Luo Feng is in third place with two wins and two losses. Uka is in fourth place with one win and three losses. Qian Shui is in fifth place with four losses."
"In the final match, Bolan will face Lin Yun to determine the first and second place winners of this year's Genius Battle. Regardless of the outcome, both of them will enter the Primal Secret Realm."
A commotion broke out in the crowd.
"The battle we've been waiting for has finally arrived!"
"Between Bolan and Lin Yun, who is the strongest?"
"I can't wait!"
Berlan stood in the rest area, his expression calm. His gaze fell on Lin Yun, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
Lin Yun looked at him as well, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Finally, it's here," Lin Yun said softly.
Luo Feng walked over and patted Lin Yun on the shoulder: "Keep it up."
"Mm." Lin Yun nodded.
Uka and Qianshui also came over and offered their blessings to the two.
In the central square, the eyes of 1000 genius elites and 1008 powerful immortals were all focused on Bolan and Lin Yun.
In mid-air, the voice of the man in the cyan battle robe and purple scales rang out again: "The final match, Bolan versus Lin Yun, is about to begin. Please prepare yourselves."
Bolan and Lin Yun walked onto the ring at the same time.
Their eyes met in mid-air, sparks flying.
This battle will determine who is the strongest in this year's Genius Battle.
Lin Yun had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
"Bolan..." Lin Yun said softly, "Let me see just how strong you really are."
He stepped onto the arena, purple lightning flashing on his battle blade.
Bolan stood opposite him, dressed in white with a blood-stained sword, his expression calm.
The two faced each other from a distance, waiting for the final beginning.
