Chapter 147 World Zone No. 1
Day 26 of the qualifiers.
Lin Yun's points have reached over 38 million, ranking seventh. Based on the current points situation, to become number one in the world region, he doesn't need to defeat everyone ranked ahead of him. The points system dictates that defeating just one top-ranked player and gaining half of their points is enough to significantly boost his own ranking.
"The number one ranked person, Wuming, should have around 52 million points." Lin Yun calculated in his mind, "If I can defeat him and get half of his points, plus my own, I can exceed 55 million and take first place for sure."
He didn't seek out opponents ranked fifth, fourth, or third; instead, he directly targeted the number one spot. This wasn't arrogance, but rather confidence in his strength. His Law of Lightning had reached an extremely profound level, and his self-created Purple Lightning Shocking Mystic Technique far surpassed ordinary secret techniques—in the Hengxing realm, those capable of creating their own secret techniques were already extremely rare, and his technique was approaching its peak level. Once unleashed, almost no one of his rank could withstand it.
He transformed into a streak of purple lightning and flew towards the center of the continent. According to the intelligence he had gathered, the last place the Nameless One was seen was a giant city located in the center of the continent.
Day 27 of the qualifiers.
Lin Yun found Wuming on the top of the tallest building in the city.
Wuming was a tall, slender young man dressed in a long white robe, carrying no weapon. He emanated fluctuations of the Law of Light, but unlike other masters of light, his fluctuations were gentler and more restrained. He cultivated not the speed of light, nor the refraction of light, but the purification of light—an extremely rare and profound art. The purification of light was not an offensive art, but a defensive and restorative one. He could use the power of light to purify all negative states, including poisons, curses, and even the suppression of laws. His defensive capabilities were extremely strong, as were his regenerative abilities.
"Lin Yun." Wuming looked at Lin Yun, who was descending from the sky, and said calmly, "You've finally arrived."
"Did you know I was coming?" Lin Yun asked.
"Your goal is to be number one," Wuming said. "The fastest way to get number one is to defeat me. My points are 52 million. If you defeat me, you will get 26 million, which, combined with your current 38 million, will make 64 million, securing your number one position."
"You're right, that's why I came," Lin Yun said.
"Make your move," said Nameless. "Let me see just how powerful your lightning really is."
Lin Yun didn't stand on ceremony. He knew that against a defensive opponent like Wuming, probing was pointless; he had to deliver a decisive blow with his strongest attack.
He pushed the Law of Lightning to its limit, unleashing three profound mysteries simultaneously: lightning speed, lightning explosion, and lightning resonance. The lightning on the battle blade was as dazzling as the sun, and a thin, hair-like line of lightning condensed on the blade.
"Purple Thunder Shocking God Third Form - Heavenly Profound Thunder Break".
This is Lin Yun's strongest attack using the Law of Thunder, fusing the profound mysteries of lightning speed and lightning explosion. In the Hengxing realm, very few can create their own secret techniques, and Lin Yun, absorbing the essence of two worlds and using the profound fusion method of the Panlong World's Laws, has created a secret technique whose power far surpasses ordinary secret techniques. Although Lin Yun's Purple Thunder God-Shaking Technique has not yet reached the level of a peak secret technique, it is already an overwhelming force in the Hengxing realm.
The lightning bolt shot out at a speed so fast that even light could not catch it.
Wuming's expression changed. He instinctively sensed the terror of this strike—it wasn't a simple attack of the Law of Lightning, but a qualitative change resulting from the fusion of two profound mysteries. He desperately activated the Purification of Light, condensing layers of light shields in front of him.
But the power of the lightning bolts far exceeded his expectations.
The first layer of light shield shattered. The second layer shattered. The third, fourth, fifth layers... The lightning bolts, like a hot knife through butter, pierced through all the defenses and struck the nameless man in the chest.
The nameless body suddenly stiffened, then turned into specks of light and dissipated.
"Points +26 million." The points on the arm protector screen jumped up suddenly.
Lin Yun's total points reached over 64 million, surpassing the previous number one, Wuming, and jumping to the top spot in the Third World region.
Participant: Lin Yun (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
Points: 64896520
Ranking: 1
World region: Third World
"First place." Lin Yun looked at the number on the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.
One move. With just one move, he defeated the former number one ranked player, Nameless. This is the power of the secret technique—not a simple application of laws, but a profound understanding and fusion of those laws. In the entire Hengxing realm, only a handful of people could withstand this strike.
He didn't make another move. His points were already high enough, and his number one ranking was firmly secured. He sat cross-legged atop the city's tallest building, overlooking the entire city. Below, countless contestants continued to fight in the streets. The rankings on the leaderboard changed constantly, but Lin Yun's name remained firmly in first place.
The 30th and final day of the qualifiers.
Lin Yun didn't move again. His score remained at over 64 million, leading the second-place player by nearly 10 million. This gap was insurmountable on the final day.
"It's over," Lin Yun said softly.
预选赛结束的倒计时在护臂屏幕上跳动：10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1。
"The qualifiers are over!" A clear voice echoed throughout the Third World Zone. "All surviving participants, cease fighting. The rankings have been determined; please check your positions."
Lin Yun looked down at the screen on the arm protector.
Participant: Lin Yun (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)
Points: 64896520
Ranking: 1
World region: Third World
Status: Ranked first in the world region through the preliminary rounds, directly advancing to the top 1000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
"I advanced directly." Lin Yun's lips curled up slightly.
According to the rules of the Genius Battle, the top-ranked player in each world region directly wins one of the 100 spots in the top 1000 without needing to participate in a final arena battle. Lin Yun has already secured a spot in the top 1000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
His consciousness withdrew from the virtual universe and returned to the real world.
In the cultivation room of Mingyue Residential Area, Lin Yun opened his eyes and stood up from the ground. Sunlight streamed in through the window, shining warmly on his face.
He walked out of the cultivation room and into the living room. He Lingruo was sitting on the sofa, and when she saw him come out, a smile appeared on her face.
"it's over?"
"It's over." Lin Yun sat down next to her. "Number one in the world region, directly advancing to the top 1000."
A flicker of surprise crossed He Lingruo's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She took Lin Yun's hand and whispered, "I knew you could do it."
"Daddy's number one!" Lin An ran out of the room and jumped into Lin Yun's arms. "Daddy's so amazing!"
Lin Yun smiled, picked him up, and kissed him on the cheek.
"When Dad wins the finals, he'll bring you an even bigger present."
"Okay!" Lin An nodded vigorously.
Virtual universe, a killing field.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were already waiting there. When Lin Yun entered the killing field, all three of them had smiles on their faces.
"Lin Yun, you're amazing!" Thor rushed over and punched Lin Yun on the shoulder. "Number one in the World Region! Out of billions of people in the entire Third World Region, you took first place!"
"And you?" Lin Yun asked.
Luo Feng smiled and said, "First World Zone, 28th place."
Lin Yun nodded slightly. 28th place—this was a much better result than in the original story. In the original work, Luo Feng was ranked 56th in the First World Region. In this life, under Lin Yun's influence and with his help, Luo Feng's strength was considerably greater than in the original story, naturally resulting in a higher ranking.
"District 72, 623rd place," Hong said. His expression was calm, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. Hong's ranking was much better than in the original work, where he barely made it into the top 1,000.
"District 88, 740th place." Thor grinned. "Although I can't compare to you guys, it's not bad, right?" Just like in the original story, Thor also encountered the "Wild Man." However, this time was different. Before encountering the Wild Man, Thor had already rushed to around 500th place. Even though he was eventually eliminated by the Wild Man and had half of his points deducted, he still maintained his position in the top 1,000.
"Very good," Lin Yun said. "Of the nearly one trillion participants in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, only 100,100 can pass the preliminary selection. The three of you have all passed, which is already quite remarkable."
"That's all thanks to you," Thor said. "If it weren't for the resources you gave us, we probably wouldn't have even made it through the primaries."
Lin Yun shook his head: "Resources are just an aid; you have to walk your own path. All I can do is give you a push."
The four remained silent for a moment.
"Next up is the final battle in the arena," Luo Feng said. "100,000 people will compete for 900 spots."
"It's very difficult," Hong said. "Those who can pass the preliminary rounds are geniuses, one in a million. Each one is a tough opponent."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Thor grinned. "Just fight. Win one game if you can, win two games if you can. Even if we don't make it into the top 1000, just being able to fight against geniuses from across the universe in the Genius Battle is a rare experience in itself."
"Thor is right." Lin Yun nodded. "The arena battle is a one-on-one elimination system, and luck is also very important. All three of you have a chance to enter the top 1000, and even if you don't make it into the top 1000 in the finals, with your performance, you will definitely be able to enter the Qianwu Secret Realm of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. I bet there are quite a few people looking for you now."
"There are quite a few, hehe, but we haven't paid any attention to them for now," Thor said with a smile, stroking his bald head.
"Well, no rush for now, let's talk about it after the finals," Lin Yun said. "The best outcome would be to make it into the top 1000 in the finals and enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company."
"And you?" Luo Feng asked.
Lin Yun smiled and said, "I've already advanced directly to the top 1000, so I don't need to participate in the final battle. Now I just need to wait for the grand final."
The three exchanged glances, a hint of envy flashing in their eyes, but mostly they were happy for Lin Yun.
"Great!" Thor exclaimed excitedly. "Then we'll see you in the Grand Finals!"
"Okay," Lin Yun said. "See you in the finals."
The four figures disappeared into the killing field.
In the virtual universe, the list of winners of the Genius Battle still hangs high in the sky, its golden light shining on everyone who looks up at it.
The qualifiers are over, but the real battle has just begun.
The arena battle is fierce, with 100,000 vying for 900 spots. Every one who passes the preliminary rounds is a genius chosen from among millions. Some come from ancient families, some are direct disciples of immortal powerhouses, and some are rogue cultivators who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Each one has their own unique skills and their own trump cards.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen will fight tooth and nail in the arena battle for the 900 spots. Lin Yun, on the other hand, will directly enter the top 1000 of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and await the grand finals.
Lin Yun stood in the cultivation room, looking at the starry sky outside the window, feeling exceptionally calm.
"The finals..." he said softly, "The real challenge has only just begun."
