The Third Stage of the Yan Shen Armament
An uncontrollable shock flickered in the eyes of the scaled-armored giant, Thirteen. "The third stage of the Yan Shen Armament… A Stellar level warrior able to master it, even at an introductory level, is unparalleled. He is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying geniuses in the universe to achieve such a feat. It's estimated that few could endure more than three strikes from him!"
"To wield the third level of the Yan Shen Armament, his comprehension of the Space Origin Law must be exceptionally advanced."
"This young one… He has hidden his strength very deeply." The scaled-armored giant leaned back in his chair, a faint smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Perhaps he truly has a chance to compete with the terrifying genius, Bolan, for the top spot."

The Trial Tower
As time passed, more and more geniuses were eliminated from the trial tower. The millions of eliminated participants now gathered in the central square, their eyes fixed on the enormous screens. Only five screens remained, representing the last five contenders still progressing through the trials.
The Virtual Universe Company released its latest promotional video:
"In this Battle of Geniuses, only five warriors remain in the trial space!"
"They are:
Bolan, the 'Reaper' from Noah's Universe Nation!
Asura Wang Yi from the Ganwu Universe Country!
Luo Feng, the 'Madman' from the Ganwu Universe Country!
Blood Tip Kandita from the Nine Yan Universe Kingdom!
Yi Feng, the 'Blade of Life' from Gu Lun Universe Country!"

Promotional videos focusing on each finalist spread across the galaxy, captivating the entire human race. Humanity's vast universe, spanning 1,008 cosmic nations, millions of galaxies, and billions of lives, was now abuzz with excitement over these five peerless geniuses.
The fervor was particularly intense in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, home to both Luo Feng and Wang Yi.
"Luo Feng!"
"Wang Yi!"
"Luo Feng!"
"Wang Yi!"
The names were chanted with pride as celebrations erupted throughout the empire.
"They belong to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"
"Our geniuses will rise as cosmic superpowers! They are the pride of our empire!"
That night, both Wang Yi and Luo Feng gained countless new supporters, their names echoing across the stars. Many girls across the galaxy became infatuated, while others proclaimed them idols. The two warriors shone like rising stars, dazzling and untouchable.

The Trial Space
Within the cosmic starfield, on a massive rectangular meteorite, stood seven towering trial spires. Wang Yi, clad in a dark red shirt, black helmet, and boots, maneuvered the Yan Shen Armament on the fifth floor of the fifth trial spire. Battling fierce, winged beasts with the appearance of three-eyed lions—known as Feiyan—he demonstrated a skillful and calculated approach.
Both Wang Yi and Luo Feng adhered to a strict principle: use every moment in each trial to hone their strength before advancing.
As Wang Yi fought, his wrist device displayed an update. "Bolan has cleared the sixth trial tower."
Raising an eyebrow, Wang Yi thought, As expected. In the original timeline, Bolan reached the seventh trial tower but failed there.
Analyzing his own position, he estimated his odds against Bolan. My chances of defeating him are only about 50%.
Bolan's mastery of the Space Origin Law and Wind Origin Law made him an exceptional opponent. Wang Yi respected his own strength but maintained a realistic view of the challenge.
Bolan is not only powerful but also cautious. He'll anticipate my strengths and prepare for them.
Determined, Wang Yi's eyes burned with resolve. "This Battle of Geniuses—this pinnacle contest—I must win. Even Bolan cannot stop me from claiming first place! I will be the strongest."

Bolan's Unstoppable Advance
In the central square, millions of geniuses and immortal observers watched intently as Bolan took on the first floor of the seventh trial spire.
The challenge: 10,000 Blood-Mammoths, each as powerful as the top 100 warriors.
Bolan, wielding his Blood Sword, became a whirlwind of death. His ethereal movements and precise strikes left the crowd in awe.
"Oh my god! Thousands of afterimages!"
"He's unstoppable!"
Despite Bolan's overwhelming skill, the challenge proved insurmountable. After slaying 5,615 mammoths and achieving over 10 billion points, Bolan was ultimately defeated and ejected from the trial space.
Now, only four contenders remained:
Blood Tip Candita
Blade of Life Yi Feng
Asura Wang Yi
Madman Luo Feng
The galaxy held its breath, awaiting the ultimate victor in the Battle of Geniuses.
