[Red River Cosmic Nation: Wang Ye]

[Points: 25481]

[HP: 2]

[Rank: 99501]

[Advancement rules: By the end of the first half, have 60000 points or pass the 18th level of the Cosmic Stairway Tower.]

Wang Ye looked at the virtual screen.

The countdown of nine cosmic days had already begun.

Although there was an additional route to advance, the difficulty had actually increased.

Passing the Cosmic Stairway Tower’s ninth level and eighteenth level were two completely different concepts.

Out of the 2.51 million people who had advanced, probably only 10% of them could get to that point.

It’s an unprecedented first round.” Wang Ye sighed.

By the end of the first half of the competition, probably less than a million participants would be left.

The elimination rate was so large that it was definitely a first in the history of Genius Challenges.

“Challenge space.” Wang Ye’s consciousness landed on the door of the second cosmic stairway.

There were two staircases, leading straight to the clouds. They were clearly separated.

One was shrouded in the Great Path, and time and space intersected, seemingly the symbol of the Great Path.

The other drowned in the darkness, filled with strength and energy, like the essence of the cosmic and the world.

On each step, there was a square space, with an expert standing in each of the spaces.

Even though they were separated, one could still feel the experts’ huge aura and high-dimensional pressure.

The experts in the 20 cubic spaces at the top were even more shocking!

“Sky race and Dark race.” Wang Ye recognized it at a glance.

No wonder it was called the challenge space.

Among the eight great cosmic races, the human race, demon race, and devil race were only the second tier.

The ones who truly ruled the cosmic were the Sky race and the Dark race, both born from the high-dimensional cosmic.

They were innately far stronger than humans.

The Sky race was born to control space and time, while the Dark race was born to control dark substance and dark energy.

Furthermore, they didn’t need to go through reincarnation before advancing to higher dimensions.

“Let’s give it a try first.” Wang Ye entered the first white challenge space on the left.

Whoosh!

The surrounding space was sealed, like a duel arena.

The high-dimension life Sky race being before him gave him strong pressure due to the difference in life level, but Wang Ye instantly released his top-rank internal world and used absolute strength to break free of the restriction.

The Hellfire Devil Blade was unsheathed, releasing black flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The top-rank saber heart was domineering and natural.

Facing a Sky race expert who was only at Black Hole level 1, Wang Ye suppressed the other party and killed him quickly.

It was very easy. Just like when he first stepped into the Cosmic Stairway Tower, the first step was simple.

[Challenge successful.]

[Points Obtained: 1000]

“The points aren’t low. It’s the same as the Cosmic Stairway Tower’s 10th level.” Wang Ye thought to himself.

To him, both would give him the same 1000 points, so it was obviously easier to obtain it in the challenge space.

However, this was not necessarily the case for the other participants.

The suppression of the opponent’s high-dimensional life level, their perfect peak innate body, as well as extraordinary attainments in time and space. Although the Sky race expert was only at Black Hole level 1, their combat prowess was not inferior to an advanced Black Hole-level demon or devil.

This held true for the Dark race experts, who were completely different from the Sky race.

Many competitors might be restrained.

The most important thing was that strategies and schemes could work in the Cosmic Stairway Tower. There were many ways to enter the next level.

However, in the challenge space, there was only one way to advance – Fight to the death!

The second cosmic stairway was the best place to obtain points for the strong who prioritized combat prowess.

But for the contestants who were not good at lvi, it would be difficult.

As for himself, he had no weaknesses.

“Continue.” Wang Ye entered white challenge space No.2.

After a small test, he could go all out!

Challenge space.

A woman wearing a black mask, her entire body shrouded in darkness, stepped into black challenge space No. 11.

Her opponent was a two-headed, four-armed Dark race expert with the strongest body. He was at the 1st degree of the Undying level!

Clang!

Holding a sword in her left hand and a saber in her right, the black-masked woman’s boundless killing intent instantly erupted.

Her saber intent and sword intent had both reached the unity phase, and her explosive speed was extremely fast.

Facing the dual pressure of a higher dimension and the opponent’s Undying level, she was not affected at all. The saber and sword lights fused into one, instantly erupting with an incomparably dazzling light.

It was concise and straightforward, and the Great Path was extremely simple.

The attack was so fast that the Dark race Undying Lifeform found it hard to defend against it. His shattered body’s origin energy was quickly eroded. His attacks were all dissolved before welcoming even more terrifying counterattacks.

Crushing!

It was tough to kill an Undying Lifeform and even more difficult to kill a Dark race Undying Lifeform.

That was because they had the strongest physical bodies in the entire cosmic.

Yet, the Dark race Undying Lifeform died. He was slaughtered to death like a cow dismembered by a butcher.

When the opponent was strong enough, even Undying Lifeforms would die. There were no exceptions.

Swoosh!

The woman in the black mask walked out of the challenge space. The 22 challenge spaces in the back row had all dimmed.

Without resting, she stepped into the black challenge space No. 12.

This was her home ground.

Cosmic Stairway Rankings.

[1] Starcluster Empire, Wen Rou: 230457

[2] Darksun Eternal Nation, Chi Xuan: 180401

[3] Yunzhou Eternal Nation, Xian Yuyan: 181425.

The rankings suddenly changed!

Not long after the opening of the second cosmic stairway, the Cosmic Stairway Board experienced a tremendous change.

Those who didn’t make it into the top 1000 or even the top 10000 surged forward.

In particular, Wen Rou jumped to first place in an instant. One should know that her ranking in the first stage had been beyond 100,000!

The entire human virtual cosmic was in an uproar.

“It’s really ridiculous! This is ridiculous!”

“A starfield empire stole first place from the eternal nations! Although it’s only temporary, it’s too scary!”

“Where did this Wen Rou come from? F*ck! Everyone, go watch her scenes. She is killing the Undying Lifeforms of the Sky and Dark race!”

“She doesn’t say much, but she’s really not gentle! Who wouldn’t tremble when they see this sword technique and saber technique? She’s taking lives as if she’s playing. She’s too f*cking strong!”

“First, there was Piao Baibai, and now there’s Wen Rou. The starfield empires are a little fierce this time!”

In the personal lounge, Wang Ye had been paying attention to the rankings.

“These points… They’re killing Undying Lifeforms like they’re killing chickens. There are so many geniuses in the cosmic. They appear from time to time.”

Wang Ye was recovering at a moderate pace. He watched as Wen Rou’s killing spree continued to increase her points.

She was indeed powerful, and the Undying Lifeforms she killed were not ordinary.

In the blink of an eye, she had pulled apart the gap between her and the second place.

Ruthless, truly ruthless.

Judging from the time, she hadn’t rested at all!

From the opening of the challenge space until now, she had been killing all the way. She was definitely a crazy woman…

Thanks to her, the points for the challenge space were more or less clear.

Against Black Hole-level opponents, the points awarded would be 1000, 2000, 3000 points, and so on. When the opponent reached the peak of the Black Hole level, which was the 10th challenge space, it would be 10000 points.

Defeating the Sky and Dark race experts would give a total of 110,000 points.

Further up was the challenge spaces No.11 to N0.20, with the opponents starting from the first degree of the Undying level to the peak.

Stage 1 was 50,000 points, stage 2 was 100,000 points, and it would increase gradually until it was 500,000 points at the peak of the Undying level. However, he estimated that no one could reach that point.

A normal peak Undying-level expert would be explosively strong, and just the other party’s stage 6 internal world would be enough to crush everything, let alone high-dimensional lifeforms at the peak of the Undying level.

“There’s no problem with Wen Rou’s strength. However, judging from her points, she stopped at the fifteenth level in the first stage. Just like Chi Xuan, who is ranked second, her brain should not be that useful. Hmm, a pair of talent fledglings.”

Wang Ye’s gaze landed on Xian Yuyan, who was still in the top three.

She was truly strong.

There was also Dongheng Wanyi, who was currently ranked fifth, and Piao Baibai, who was ranked eighth.

These three were currently the ones that he believed to be the strongest among the Supernova prodigies.

The current ranking fluctuation was only temporary. After the first half of the competition ended, the results would be revealed.

He really wanted to know what the ranking of the pair of talent fledglings would be.

While Wang Ye paid attention to the rankings, he advanced triumphantly.

On the 10th cosmic day, his points easily exceeded 40000.

On the 11th cosmic day, his points broke through 50000 and his ranking returned to the top 100,000.

On the 12th cosmic day.

“Boom!” Wang Ye’s attack killed a Black Hole level 6 Dark race expert.

The other party’s body, which was known to be the strongest in the cosmic, shattered and turned into nothingness. So did his dark crystal realm.

Wang Ye was also gradually entering a good state!

[Challenge successful.]

[Points Obtained: 6000]

Wang Ye came out of the challenge space. He returned to his personal lounge and recovered his combat prowess.

He opened his personal interface.

[Points: 61481]

[HP: 2]

[Rank: 81466]

He advanced calmly. It was as stable as ever, and there were no mistakes.

“I’ve advanced. I can start to take a little risk.” Wang Ye looked at his 2 HP.

It was good that there was room for trial and error.

Points were very important.

The second half of the competition was the Points Contest, and the conditions for advancement would most likely be related to points.

The more he accumulated, the more capital he would have.

If one looked further ahead, then the second and third rounds might even be closely related to points!

“Black Hole level 6 Sky and Dark race warriors are already stronger than the devil grand marshals who are at the peak of the Black Hole level. However, I should be able to challenge anyone who hasn’t reached the Undying level. Let’s try it. I won’t die anyway.”

Fight!

He would first ensure his advancement, then aim for points.

Wang Ye’s goal was clear. As for the ranking… Once the points were accumulated, the ranking would naturally rise.

He stepped onto the challenge space stairs.

On the 13th cosmic day, he fought three consecutive battles.

81456 points! It had increased by 20,000 points!

On the 14th cosmic day, two more battles.

He crossed challenge space No. 8.

97323 points! Rank 35377.

On the 15th cosmic day, he took down a Black Hole level 9 Dark race expert.

On the 16th cosmic day, his points broke through 110,000!

The 18th cosmic day.

Challenge space No. 10.

“Chi!” Wang Ye used the Reincarnation Slash Saber Technique.

The seventh form, Sky Destruction!

The unity-phase saber intent broke the Spatial Lock.

The high-dimensional Sky race expert was engulfed by the black flames as he spread his wings.

White origin of thunder and blue origin of lightning lit up at the same time and exploded wildly, shattering the body of the Sky race expert.

Tyrannical saber intent tore through everything.

Chi!

Wang Ye’s saber was invincible!

He had once again taken down a peak Black Hole-level Sky race being whose combat prowess was comparable to the Undying Lifeform Xin Di.

Swoosh!

Wang Ye left the challenge space and returned to his personal lounge.

His first half of the competition had ended.

On the virtual screen, numbers flashed.

[Points: 135008]

[Rank: 9501.]

He had officially entered the top 10000 of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament!
