Chapter 902: Final Battle

“Huh?”

Lin Feng—the one fighting the young man with golden wheels in his eyes—suddenly noticed that his companions were gone. He was shocked. The next moment, he saw Su Ping going after him.

He could see the guy and the brutality in his eyes, but he couldn’t detect any killing intent at all.

He probably wouldn’t have noticed the guy until he drew close If he hadn’t been keeping an eye on his surroundings!

Where are my companions?

Lin Feng had a bad feeling. He punched the young man who had golden wheels in his eyes and then attacked Su Ping.

Bang!

Su Ping punched abruptly; a golden fist appeared with a sharp aura hidden within. It was the Fist Sword Technique that Su Ping had grasped; the sword aura was the fatal move.

Lin Feng felt that something was wrong the moment he touched Su Ping’s fist. He became wary, then tried to withdraw his hand, but it was too late. He felt an excruciating pain.

His hand was cracked; blood splashed out. Even his wrist had been torn; the attack had left a hole.

Su Ping didn’t stop; he unleashed his astral power and the aggression of the Astral Painting melded with the fist sword again. He punched his opponent in rapid succession, making it impossible for the latter to flee; the only option was to endure all his attacks!

He would still get killed if the guy did manage to flee into the fifth space.

H-How is this possible?

Lin Feng was horrified; it was the greatest crisis he had encountered since he joined the competition. He had never thought he would be caught in such grave danger!

He even thought of a possibility.

Could this guy be the reincarnation of one of the shameless old guys too?

He reacted while the thought crossed his mind. He fully activated his constitution, looking like a God of War basking in the sunlight. A thick law was swept out like a chain and surrounded his hands; he then used a horrifying ancient technique that contorted space!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fist sword and his hand collided, causing ripples in deeper spaces; the spatial torrents were completely shattered.

The nearby young man who had golden wheels in his eyes saw an opportunity and also took action too; at first he had thought that the battle would be a chance for him to showcase his abilities, but he was suppressed again. It was really frustrating.

“Arrival!”

His eyes glittered, and he suddenly evinced the daunting vibe of an emperor; Lin Feng felt like his heart had been hammered.

He was frozen for only 0.001 seconds, but Su Ping seized the opportunity and punched him in the chest. He was knocked into the fourth space and then squeezed out; Su Ping was right behind him.

The agony shocked and infuriated Lin Feng, who finally realized why his companions fled. Theirs was a temporary alliance to begin with; they had surely fled because they found out how horrifying the young man was.

Damn it!

He burned his blood out of despair and tried to tear space open to flee. However, the fist auras around him made it impossible. He roared, “You want to eliminate me? In your dreams!”

His aura quickly soared after his loud remark. One of the astral rings that surrounded him was broken, making him become several times stronger. He shattered the frozen space and Su Ping’s fist auras the next second, before he stepped into the fifth space.

“I’ll remember you!”

He was already gone, but his voice lingered.

Su Ping stood by the crack of the fifth space as it began to heal; he chose not to give chase. That guy obviously had other trump cards; his despair might cause Su Ping severe injuries.

“Those top geniuses are truly good at keeping themselves alive. They might even be able to defeat Star Lords if it weren’t for the lacking power of faith!” Su Ping said to himself.

“Damn it!” said the young man with golden-wheeled eyes; he felt gloomy after missing the target. His hope for garnering attention after eliminating a future Ascendant was dashed; he would have become famous. However, he failed to do so even with Su Ping’s help; that Universe Geniuses’ Contest was truly a competition for monsters.

Su Ping said, “Let’s clear them.”

After that, he turned around and marched toward the geniuses who had been following that power trio.

The geniuses in that group had an average combat ability in the middle and advanced phases of the Star State; they would have shocked a lot of Fate State and Star State cultivators. However, they were only mediocre there; they couldn’t even compare to Linghu Jian.

“Run!”

“Damn it!”

The other geniuses finally recovered from their shock. The battle had happened so fast that their leaders had run off before they could react. Su Ping’s subordinates stopped them when they tried to flee.

Several minutes passed, they fought until all of them were defeated and eliminated.

Some of them were as strong as Dragon Emperor; regretfully, they were also eliminated.

Dragon Emperor, Linghu Jian and the Thousand Leaves Holy Lady felt lucky to be on the right team. It would have been impossible for them to make it to the top hundred on their own, unless they had Ascendant State potential.

…

On the balcony—

“Those two kids aren’t bad. Especially the one who uses fists. The pet he merged with was just a Fate State dragon; he can’t be going all out.”

“He’s quite talented since he grasped a hundred laws. What a shame. He might have already condensed a path and become a Star Lord any minute if he would have focused on one class.”

“Which galaxy is he from? Does he have a master?”

“Don’t even think about it; how can such a talented young man not have a master? You can’t have him as a disciple.”

A lot of Ascendant State experts noticed the battle from the balcony. Although there were at most thirty kids on the continent who had Ascendant potential, not all of them were fighting. So, the battle from moments earlier had attracted a lot of attention.

Ciro finally put on a smile after hearing their discussion. All of this was an honor for Silvy; Su Ping in particular managed to enslave such a tough genius to do his bidding. He saw the gloomy look of the Ascendant from the galaxy of the young man who had golden wheels in his eyes; not once did he flash a smile.

It was understandable. He probably would have buried himself to deal with the shame.

An Ascendant State old man suddenly said, “A hundred laws aren’t a big deal. I sense the air of the Fruit of Laws in him; while rare, they are still out there. I heard that there are several geniuses who have improved after consuming Fruits of Laws too; one of them has even grasped more than two hundred laws. I wonder how powerful he is.”

Someone asked in surprise upon hearing him, “More than two hundred laws? Aren’t they too much? It’s fine if he manages to absorb them all, but it would take too long to study them if they’re hard to digest. It wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing.”

“I think he’s reasonably good with those laws; although his control isn’t the best at the moment, he should be able to understand them on a deep enough level. On the other hand, his astral power and physical build are quite astonishing.”

“That’s true. The kid has a shocking amount of astral power and special aggressiveness. I wonder how he cultivated it. So weird.”

“In any case, hopefully he’ll reach the Ascendant State if he’s well groomed. It’s a fair deal to recruit him in advance.”

Although the Ascendant State experts noticed some of Su Ping’s flaws, they were generally satisfied.

Having potential didn’t mean that he would surely rise to the Ascendant State, but he would still become a top Star Lord either way.

Recruit right then, and he might reach the Ascendant State several thousand years later. It was definitely a fair deal.

…

Time flew.

Su Ping and the others encountered more and more battles as the terrain was constricted. Some of the contestants were eliminated; the total number was reduced from sixty or so to around fifty.

Su Ping didn’t disappoint the Ascendants who thought highly of him; he won each of the following battles and showed great astral power and physical strength.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The vast continent had been reduced to an area comparable to one state on the Blue Planet.

Given the circumstances, the keen geniuses would easily detect and run into each other.

Battles were bursting out more and more frequently.

Several places had been regarded as forbidden areas as battles went on.

One of them was the mountain where Su Ping’s group was staying.

The actual mountain had been reduced to a hill; they could only rebuild the mountain with the power of their pets, and then they set up a sword array.

There were several other places defended by tough guys.

“So frightening!”

“He was crushed without the chance of escaping. Is the divine constitution really that good? It’s said that the guy might even rise to the Celestial State with proper training…”

“That kid has Ascendant potential, but he was still knocked out of the top hundred…”

On the balcony—everybody was shocked by the battle they had just watched.

The two sides had top geniuses they had been paying attention to; they expected the battle to be fierce, but it quickly ended with an overpowering victory.

The winner was the champion of the Wudi Galaxy, the one they had been discussing the whole time.

“He has a chance of reaching the Celestial State…”

Many of the Ascendants became solemn. That was a rare genius that even they couldn’t neglect.

Ciro was equally solemn while he sat at the edge. He heaved an inward sigh, wishing that the genius would have been born in Silvy. This time the Wudi Galaxy had been glorified for the kid. It would be groundbreaking news if he did reach the Celestial State; the galaxy would be known as the hometown of a Lord Supreme in the whole universe.

…

Su Ping and his group were gathered on the mountain, and the Thousand Leaves Holy Lady asked him in a low voice, “There are fewer and fewer contestants left. Are we still going to wait?”

Everybody’s advancement depended on Su Ping from then on; all of them stood around him.

Su Ping nodded and said, “The others are preparing for the last battle too.”

“But if nobody takes action, how can we figure out how the top hundred will be settled?” asked a young man curiously.

Su Ping smiled and replied, “The terrains are still shrinking. Even if nobody moves, we will face and fight each other eventually.”

No one said anything for a moment.

The terrains would keep reducing if the total number wasn’t reduced to a hundred, which meant that they would run into others very quickly.

“We have thirty members right now. I wonder how many are out there,” said Dragon Emperor, narrowing his eyes.

A fair part of their original sixty members were lost during the past two days; they had run into some of the tougher enemies.

Su Ping didn’t say anything. He looked at a girl who was sitting; she was none other than Su Jin’er.

She had been running about until she met them. She also joined their group, along with three companions.

“I heard about a horrifying genius who has awakened one of the nine divine constitutions,” Su Jin’er whispered to Su Ping with graveness in her eyes.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows and asked, “Where did you hear that?”

“From some that I’ve taken down; they ran into him and survived. He didn’t seem to be of the bloodthirsty sort. I hope we won’t run into him,” said Su Jin’er.

Su Ping smiled and said, “You don’t look like the kind of person who flinches.”

Su Jin’er rolled her eyes at him. “I simply don’t want to expose my trump card.”

Not giving any comment on that, Su Ping said, “But he’s alone. Even if we run into him, there’s no need to fear.”

“Maybe.” Su Jin’er shook her head, not elaborating on the matter. She had found that Su Ping was quite ignorant of a lot of common knowledge after their time fighting together; he probably didn’t know anything about the nine divine constitutions. She actually had one and knew what it meant.

It symbolized that she had Celestial State potential!

Passion flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly gone.

She could still rise to the Celestial State in her own way, even without any of the nine divine constitutions.

Half a day passed quickly again.

The terrain was further reduced, and another group appeared next to Su Ping’s; they seemed to be the survivors of multiple galaxies, and the strongest four of them all had Ascendant State potential.

A fierce battle burst out. Su Ping, Su Jin’er and the young man who had golden wheels in his eyes fought them and pushed them back.

The others weren’t as lucky; eight members were lost, and only twenty remained.
