Chapter 869: Galactic Streaming
“Humph!”
Oasis Dragon King snorted with mixed feelings. He had previously been the center of attention, but everybody had been eclipsed by Su Ping.
Still, he curbed his budding jealousy because his pride forbade him to.
Jealousy was a negative feeling for weaklings. A man as proud as Oasis Gray would never allow himself to have something that only the weaklings had.
“How long will it take for us to reach the place?” Su Ping asked the instructor curiously.
The instructor replied with a smile, “Half a day. You can take a break; you deserve it after training for so long. Matches will begin the moment we get there, so you should try to get prepared by then.”
He was speaking to all the candidates.
Su Ping felt relieved; Green Lady would have it easier if the journey was short.
He said goodbye to the instructor and nodded at Claesabe and Ibetaluna before he left for the rest area.
Everybody took Su Ping’s cue and dispersed to also take a break.
Oasis Dragon King gloomily returned to the rest area, but he chose to continue cultivating and meditating instead of resting.
Both Claesabe and Ibetaluna were delighted to see that Su Ping had only nodded at them; it meant that they had left a good impression on him after all.
It would have been taken as brown nosing if they had waited until Su Ping showed his talent.
The universe was a vast place, and the Federation had a boundless territory. It was divided into twelve star zones.
Each star zone contained multiple galaxies.
Every galaxy had dozens if not hundreds of planetary systems such as Zeruprun.
There were generally a dozen planets in every planetary system. The larger ones had dozens of planets.
The Silvy Galaxy consisted of dozens of planetary systems.
Once the Universe Geniuses’ Contest started, screening tests were conducted on every planet.
The geniuses selected from cities, states and planets would fight on behalf of their own planets in the planetary system matches—
If they distinguished themselves in their planetary systems, they would participate in galactic matches, which was the next level of competition Su Ping and the others were heading to.
If they advanced again, they would go to the Golden Star Zone on behalf of Silvy.
At that moment—in Auro, a tier-1 planetary system in Silvy, there were three tier-1 planets. They were extremely large, with prosperous urbanized continents as well as those assigned for hunting.
Rhea and the Blue Planet were like beans when compared to them; their economies were much poorer, too!
The economy of a continent on Auro was already greater than that of planet Rhea, not to mention the Blue Planet which was even more underdeveloped.
The benefits of a tier-1 planet were the excellent atmosphere and its facilities. For instance, the astral power concentration was ten times higher than that on regular planets; training there would be much faster. It was also the reason why the more advanced a planet was, the more top experts it would have.
In addition, the bleeding-edge equipment of the Federation would mostly be found on tier-1 planets.
They were the best in terms of entertainment, fashion, technology, combat, secret techniques and more.
The three massive planets were currently attracted to each other thanks to the control of Ascendant State experts. There was a vast continent in the void, right in the juncture of their gravity fields!
The back of the continent was soil that floated like islands with energy shields on the surface.
Ten regions had been drawn out in that continent; every region had its own energy boundaries. The whole place was an actual battlefield!
There were currently a lot of people found in those regions; they were media representatives from various planetary systems who were setting up their equipment.
That was Silvy’s elimination matches, which would be streamed to all the planetary systems and their respective planets!
“Dear audience, the continent in front of our eyes will be the battlefield where the winners of our planetary systems will fight!
“This entire continent will be the battlefield. The ten regions will hold matches at the same time!”
“Which planetary system will be the one with the geniuses able to distinguish themselves and leave their names on the Divine Star Planet as part of the top ten thousand?”
Many spaceships, warships and cruises had gathered around the continent in the void.
They carried reporters from various media outlets as well as members of the audience who had made the trip to watch the game.
“Every planetary system has presented many brilliant geniuses in the screening phase. Join us as we watch their awesome performances during the games.”
The matches hadn’t started yet; the organizers were replaying highlights from the screening phase at the moment.
Players with different faces and hair colors showed up and demonstrated great combat abilities.
“He’s physically resisting the strength of a dragon?”
“He killed a Star State dragon with one sword attack. Is he really in the Fate State?”
“I’m in the Fate State too. I feel unworthy in front of him…”
“I heard that the top geniuses of the four best academies haven’t shown up yet. They’ve been training in a S-rated mysterious realm until the matches begin.”
“This can’t be real. He killed a Star State opponent. I have every reason to believe that he cheated!”
“Cheated? This is the Universe Geniuses’ Contest, hosted by Celestials. Who would dare to cheat?”
“What a stupid accusation.”
Countless planets in Silvy were rebroadcasting Silvy’s official feed. The blood of all the viewers started boiling as they watched the highlights.
Someone in the Fate State killed a Star State pet!
Many people thought that only those below the Ocean State could beat enemies above their level; the gap between the Fate State and the Star State was too wide!
However, the older audience who had watched previous championships were calmer.
Even so, they also became passionate as they were being influenced by the exciting atmosphere. After all, such geniuses were extremely rare to encounter in real life.
The audiences on some of the underdeveloped planets were amazed by the highlights; not even their experts thought they were as good.
Far away, on the Blue Planet—
“Damn it, they’re all Fate State warriors. This is unbelievable!”
“The Federation is truly too big of a place. I thought that geniuses like Boss Su should be rare, but they don’t seem as rare now.”
“You’re exaggerating. Boss Su is able to crush Star State warriors. Few of the guys participating can pull that off. Boss Su would have definitely been an eye-catching star had he competed against them!”
“Tsk, Boss Su is truly awesome. He was born and raised on the Blue Planet, yet he can fight with geniuses who grew up in the Federation!”
“Exactly. Those geniuses are never short of resources or techniques in the Federation; our planet is like a poor underdeveloped village in comparison. It’s already good enough that we’re catching up with other battle pet warriors in the Federation; we can hardly surpass them!”
On the Blue Planet—the video was being streamed to all the base cities.
The Blue Planet had applied for a signal rebroadcast from the planetary system authorities to watch the game since the earlier screening phase.
Several experts had been selected from the Blue Planet too.
Those in the Fate State were Ji Yuanfeng and Yuan Tianchen.
The rest were in the Void State, such as Qin Duhuang and Venerable the Blade.
Yuan Tianchen was originally in the Void State, but he had managed to reach the Fate State; their warriors had been leveling up much faster ever since the Blue Planet was better connected to the Federation. Venerable the Blade had risen from the Ocean State to the Void State too.
Unfortunately, all of them had been eliminated in the first round of the screening test, except for Ji Yuanfeng who managed to make it to the second round.
Qin Duhuang and Venerable the Blade were even mocked; after all, almost all the contestants were in the Fate State.
Those who were below that level would barely have a chance to distinguish themselves in that contest.
Sadly, the Blue Planet was so underdeveloped that it had few Fate State experts.
Once all the Blue Planet’s experts were eliminated, they further realized the gap between them and the other planets in the Federation!
“Boss Su is truly extraordinary.”
Ji Yuanfeng, Qin Duhuang and the others were all in the Longjiang Base City, which was the biggest city in the world. It was destined to become the heart of the planet since it was their Lord’s hometown.
“Who can argue with that?”
Qin Duhuang had a lot of mixed feelings too as he drank tea with Ji Yuanfeng.
Nie Huofeng glanced at them and rolled his eyes. These guys are drinking tea as if it were liquor. What is that all about?
“I don’t think I saw Boss Su in the screening phase!” Liu Tianzong remarked in confusion. He had also become a Legend and was qualified to sit with the others.
“The matches we watched were only limited to our planetary system; we don’t know what happened elsewhere. Boss Su must have participated in another planetary system. I’m sure he’ll appear among the highlights being replayed,” said Qin Shujian.
The latter had also become a Legend, and was equal to Liu Tianzong. The Qin family already had four Legendary warriors at this point!
Qin Shaotian, who had succeeded as the family leader, was already at the peak of the Titled State, and was about to become a Legend!
“It does make sense.”
Everybody else nodded and watched patiently.
“Boss Su is different from us. He’s a real genius!” Nie Huofeng remarked with mixed feelings as he watched the feed from the other planetary systems.
He had a jumble of conflicting emotions when he thought about Su Ping. The astral power he had saved up for a thousand years was looted by Su Ping, but the latter had also saved the planet in the Battle of the Deep Caves and averted the impending catastrophe, something he had failed to do.
Aside from that, Su Ping chose not to kill him after the battle. That was the main reason why ceded the lord’s position to him.
He currently was willingly managing the planet as Su Ping’s aide.
He didn’t expect that such an astonishing genius would grow up right under his nose on the Blue Planet!
That young man was a genius who was destined to glow even in the Federation, a place that had tons of planets!
“That is correct.”
Everybody else nodded in agreement and raised their cups to toast.
A vortex appeared in space hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the void continent while the audience on the Blue Planet was watching the live stream. Then, a spaceship jumped out and maintained a quick speed.
Soon, a few more spaceships jumped out and flew towards the void continent.
All the people on the spacecraft carriers and the cruisers got all excited once the first spaceship emerged.
Some recognized that one of the spaceships belonged to the Dragon Tomb Academy!
“The people of the Dragon Tomb Academy are here!”
“That spaceship looks like the personal spaceship of the Dragon Tomb Academy’s president!”
“Are they using it to carry their top geniuses? Tsk, tsk!”
“Look, the Hugh Mia Academy is here, too.”
The students of the five academies had left the mysterious realm at the same time, and their spaceships were equally fast; all the audience was thrilled by their arrival.
“Is this the battlefield?”
The spaceship of the Amir Royal Academy had also arrived; Su Ping and the others observed the scenes from their ship’s point of view; they were focusing on the void continent behind the spacecraft carriers and warships.
They couldn’t even see the edge of the continent. It was truly vast.
Su Ping was amazed; that galaxy had constructed an arena that was much bigger than the whole Blue Planet, just for the contest!
The stadiums built on planets for the matches were truly lame in comparison.
Some receptionists instantly arrived and directed them to land; there was an airborne hall above the continent where all the contestants could rest.
Most of the contestants had arrived at the moment.
The hall was immense. The contestants who had arrived earlier were looking at the new arrivals from the five academies.
“The five academies? Interesting.”
In a square—a young man who wore a pair of glasses narrowed his eyes and smiled.
All the other geniuses were also looking at the five academies’ spaceships curiously.
They knew those ships were carrying high ranking geniuses who had received recommendations; the five academies were famous for their education, but not all the top geniuses in Silvy were trained by them.
Many geniuses had grown up under the secret training of their families.
Some had masters teaching them in their own organizations.
Some of the other geniuses were too proud to go to the five academies; they had preferred to stand out by emerging from academies with a lesser ranking.
