The Supernova Prodigy Tournament’s first round was over. It could be said to be the crudest genius challenge in history, with the elimination rate of the first round going as high as 98.6%.

However, under such pressure, many miracles were born.

Nothing more could be said about Piao Baibai and Wen Rou.

None of the top ten contestants were experienced seniors. They were all rookies.

The most ridiculous and eye-catching one was the contestant ranked 100th, Red River Cosmic Nation’s Wang Ye!

His appearance shocked the ten eternal nations.

The value of the competition’s first round was evident. Without enough strength, it was impossible to get to this position.

How capable was this contestant from a small cosmic nation?

“Quickly gather information. I want all the information about Wang Ye from the moment he was born until now!”

“Immediately send someone to contact him and ask him if he has the intention to join us!”

“Agree to all of his conditions! Don’t let the other forces beat us to it. Regardless of whether he really entered the top 100 with his strength, he definitely has potential! What resources do the cosmic nations have? It’s already their limits that they can nurture him to this level. Wang Ye still has a lot of potential to be unleashed!”

“A top-rank stage 2 internal world, advanced-rank time attainment, and medium Undying-level willpower. His advanced potential is very good and is worth nurturing! Moreover, he was able to obtain such a ranking under the premise that his best treasure is only a high-grade supreme treasure. It’s even more commendable!”

The eighteen top human factions began to take action.

The previous genius selection competitions had always been a good opportunity for them to select outstanding geniuses, picking and choosing from those that the human virtual cosmic and the Infinite World of Slaughter didn’t want.

Although those talents usually didn’t have top-rank talent or aptitude, it was enough for them to be close to the top rank.

While the seven supreme human factions were paying attention to Piao Baibai, Wen Rou, Dongheng Wanyi, and Xian Yuyan, they targeted Wang Ye and other outstanding talents.

The top ten of the Cosmic Stairway Board?

Without a doubt, they would enter the seven supreme human factions. It was pointless to fight over those talents, and they wouldn’t succeed.

But they could make a move on Wang Ye!

Honghe Planet, Wangting Villa.

“Alright, thank you. I’ll seriously consider it.” Wang Ye ended the call.

Nante and Xia Wuguang, who were beside him, looked envious.

How many calls had he received already?

The eighteen top human factions had probably all called him!

Jiutian Corp, Planet Energy Company, Starry Sky Communications, Weiss Supreme Casino, Space-Time Island… All of the high and mighty top-rank factions that were admired by others offered excellent conditions to recruit Wang Ye and promised him great benefits.

Joining any one of them would allow them to soar!

“Brother-in-law, what are your plans?” Lingling asked.

“I’ll think about it as I continue in the competition.” Wang Ye was nonchalant.

“Are you really not tempted?” Lingling blinked.

“It would be a lie to say that I’m not tempted,” Wang Ye said. “They can give me excellent conditions. Teachers, resources, cultivation land, and countless treasures. This gives me a greater chance of passing the reincarnation cycle.”

For example, the Space-Time Island itself was a blessed grotto-heaven. The effects of comprehending the great paths of time and space on the island would be unparalleled.

For another example, the Jiutian Corp’s business was booming everywhere. They spent a lot of money and resources on talents, sparing no expense.

For one more example, the Huanyu Chamber of Commerce had countless treasures. As long as one could become a genius heavily nurtured by the Chamber of Commerce, never mind cosmic supreme treasures, even innate supreme treasures would be easy to obtain!

“But now, we have a chance to fight to enter the seven supreme factions!” Xia Wuguang said.

Wang Ye nodded. “In the past genius selections, there were always 100 spots. This time, the Supernova Prodigy Tournament is organized by two supreme factions. There’s a high chance that the top 200 will be selected. I have a good chance now.”

“Otherwise, the 18 top human factions wouldn’t have come to recruit you in advance.” Lingling smiled.

Wang Ye smiled. “Actually, it’s a matter of lower limit and upper limit. As long as I believe that my upper limit is high enough, even if I don’t perform well in the second round and get eliminated, I can still get the lower limit.”

A flash in the pan?

Impossible.

Even though he didn’t have the ability to rank in the top 100, he could still rank in the top 1000 or even the top 500.

It wasn’t like he got into the top 100 by luck, so why would he be afraid that no one would want him?

It was impossible for his performance in the second round to go downhill.

Even if he was unlucky enough to be eliminated, a few of the eighteen top factions would still want him after some backed away.

Though the treatment might be slightly different from now, the lower limit itself would not change much.

There were plenty of opportunities to join the 18 top factions, but he might only have this one chance to try and get into the seven supreme factions!

No matter what, he had to rush to the end.

The second round would begin in 100 cosmic days. The official rules were still unknown.

However, from the fact that the points did not return zero, it could be seen that the advantage of the first round would continue.

For other cultivators, this was a good time to recuperate. They could learn more about the other participants and prepare for the second round.

For Wang Ye, 100 cosmic days, which was nearly three cosmic years, would allow him to increase his strength by another level!

Compared to the geniuses of the eternal nations, he was inferior in all aspects, including comprehension of the Great Paths, innate deficiency, the internal world’s stage, the power of treasures, and so on.

Among them, the easiest to upgrade was the treasures.

In the battle between him and Wen Rou, only the Hellfire Devil Blade could withstand the latter’s two supreme treasures. The other low-grade indestructible artifact, the Will Sealing Blade, was simply unable to withstand a single blow.

At the same time, the Whitewheel Oblivion Armor, which was mainly used for defense, was more of an ability user treasure. Its defense was mainly focused on counter-damage.

If he didn’t have the talent of Immortality, he wouldn’t have been able to pass many checkpoints in the Cosmic Stairway Tower and the challenge space.

In contrast, control-type treasures were pretty good. Coupled with his time attainment, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The internal world treasures were quite nice too, and he had an advantage over most of the eternal nation geniuses.

He could accommodate these two for a while, but the two treasures, one offensive and one defensive, had to be upgraded!

“They want to satisfy me just by giving Blue Planet some benefits?” Wang Ye naturally knew about the resources and training that the Red River Cosmic Nation had given to Blue Planet.

Good, the more the better.

This kind of thing was beneficial to both sides. There was nothing to say about it.

Either way, Blue Planet was under his name now. The Red River Cosmic Nation wouldn’t act recklessly.

He would accept the gifts from the 13 imperial families.

However, now that he was in the top 100, not only did he give the Red River Cosmic Nation a good reputation, but he also earned a lot of face for the country.

He had even become the face of the Red River Cosmic Nation. If the 13 imperial families were to continue to be biased, that would be unacceptable.

Right now, he already had the qualifications and confidence to negotiate with the Red River Cosmic Nation!

Red River Planet, Civil Residence.

Luo Erhan, who was dressed in formal attire, was in a high position. She quickly read through the documents and was meticulous.

She was born royalty and graduated from Hongyao Imperial Academy with excellent results.

Her career had been smooth sailing, and she had become the deputy head of the Civil Residence at a young age, holding great power.

She was beautiful and had a high status. As the princess of the imperial family, she was the dream lover of countless men in the Civil Residence, but she never gave them a smile.

“Hey! Long time no see.” Wang Ye walked into the office with a smile.

Luo Erhan, who was in the middle of a discussion with her subordinates, suddenly had a change in expression. Her hand that was holding the pen trembled for some reason.

She forced herself to calm down and ignored Wang Ye.

“Shouldn’t you guys be busy?” Wang Ye put his hands on the shoulders of the two men sitting in front of Luo Erhan’s desk and smiled.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

“Ha, look at my memory. I forgot to water the fish!”

The two men hurriedly left the office, not forgetting to close the door behind them.

“What are you doing here?” Luo Erhan gritted her teeth and remained calm as she approved the documents.

“I’m looking for you for a date.” Wang Ye rested his chin on his hand and looked at Luo Erhan.

“I’m not free.” Luo Erhan refused mercilessly.

“What I meant was that I wanted to ask you to arrange a meeting with the 13 imperial families,” Wang Ye said with a smile.

“I’m still not free.” Luo Erhan gritted her teeth and ignored him.

“Is that so?” Wang Ye was surprised. He stood up and opened his Starry Sky Bracelet. “Hello, Taiwu Cosmic Nation? I-”

“Why are you holding my hand?” Wang Ye looked at Luo Erhan with a half-smile. The latter blushed and glared a him. “Wait a moment!” I’ll contact the higher-ups!”

“Alright.” Wang Ye laughed.

Very soon, Luo Erhan pursed her lips and sat opposite Wang Ye.

Looking at his smiling expression, she could not help but think of his performance in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament.

He was a completely different person from now!

During the competition, he was as dazzling as a star, making everyone cheer for him, including her.

But the current him could anger her to death!

“Did the higher-ups ask you to represent the imperial family and ask me if I have any needs that you’ll try your best to satisfy?” Wang Ye smiled.

“Why are you asking if you know?” Luo Erhan snorted,” Greedy!”

Wang Ye shook his head. “I’m not being greedy. I’m just trying to get a reasonable reward within my value range. Besides, investing in me is beneficial to the Red River Cosmic Nation.”

“Tell me, what do you want this time?” Luo Erhan returned to her professional expression and didn’t want to compete with him.

“You,” Wang Ye said.

Luo Erhan was stunned. Her face turned red instantly. She pressed her hands on the table and stood up abruptly. “I’m not that kind of person!”

Wang Ye glanced at her. “I mean, don’t be anxious. Take it slow. Tell me what the 13 imperial families’ bottom line is and I’ll consider accepting it.”

Luo Erhan gritted her teeth in anger.

What did he mean by telling you the bottom line and whether you accept it or not?

“No bottom line!” As soon as Luo Erhan said that, she knew she had said something wrong. She had been affected by Wang Ye’s words. “What I mean is that I can’t tell you the imperial families’ bottom line.”

“Oh.” Wang Ye smiled at Luo Erhan.

The latter pursed her lips tightly, knowing that she was in trouble.

She was like a little lamb. Not only was she being targeted, but she had also been seen through.

This time, the 13 imperial families were going to bleed again.

After a while, Wang Ye left the Civil Residence in satisfaction.

Luo Erhan, who was exhausted, raised her head and leaned weakly against the back of the chair, unable to speak for a long time.

They had lost the negotiation again. Just like during the match, he did not miss anything.

From the very beginning, she had been led by him by the nose. He knew the bottom line of the 13 imperial families.Diisscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏(.)com

“As expected of Taishi Starfield’s rare genius who can get into the top 100 of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament.” Luo Erhan sighed. “Let him have what he wants. I hope his strength can improve and he will be even more dazzling in the second round. Speaking of which… He doesn’t have any bad intentions and he’s quite good-looking in person..”
