Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System

"Battle Intent? What is that?"

Qin Mu was somewhat puzzled.

"Central Continent Realm, Lan Family!"

Ao Mengmeng’s brow furrowed slightly, and her tone was somewhat solemn as she said, "They rose in the ancient era of the Universe, with a Bloodline Legacy and astonishing combat talent."

"Among them, in every world origin, there will be a successor who comprehends Battle Intent."

"The current successors of the Lan Family Battle Intent should be the brothers Lan Zhui and Lan Chu."

Qin Mu was more concerned about one point.

"Is this Battle Intent the same as the perfect combat experience that Green Peak possesses?"

Ao Mengmeng shook her head.

"Green Peak is a sword spirit; it’s impossible for him to comprehend Battle Intent."

"Of course, most Cultivators also cannot comprehend it. Even looking at the Ten Thousand Races of the Universe, the Bloodlines capable of comprehending Battle Intent are exceedingly rare...."

"Battle Intent is unrelated to Realm. Among God King Realm powerhouses, not many possess Battle Intent."

"Taking the Human Race as an example, only the Lan Family can serve as a stable Legacy for Battle Intent. For the rest, only occasional individual Geniuses appear who, after hundreds of millions of years of tempering on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, have a chance to comprehend it."

At this point, Ao Mengmeng showed a thoughtful expression, paused for a moment, and then said:

"As for what Battle Intent is, this princess also finds it hard to explain. I can only say that, in its manifestation, it looks very similar to perfect combat experience."

"Very similar, but not the same thing."

"Battle Intent involves the Soul Origin and the ethereal will. Most Peak races haven’t thoroughly researched these things. The Human Race hasn’t figured it out, and even the Dragon Clan hasn’t...."

"This princess can only remind you that special Battle Intent will have an additional terrifying combat power boost. If you encounter it, you must be extremely careful...."

Good heavens.

It was the first time Qin Mu had heard of something Ao Mengmeng couldn’t explain clearly.

Even if her Realm back then wasn’t that of a God King, she wouldn’t have been an ordinary divine general, right?

Moreover, she came from the Dragon Clan and had spent dozens of world origin training in the Human Race.

Her vision, knowledge, and experience could certainly be compared to a God King’s.

Now, even she couldn’t explain Battle Intent, so the secrets it contained were unimaginable.

"Hmm.... if that’s the case, then the Lan Family should be very strong."

"No! They should be considered invincible!"

The deduction was simple.

Every world origin has a Battle Intent successor. With such terrifying amplification, becoming a God King should be effortless, right?

Gods are immortal, and the powerhouses accumulated over countless world origin would be an absolutely terrifying number, extremely, terrifying!!

"Alas, it’s not that simple...."

Ao Mengmeng sighed.

"Geniuses are dazzling, not just within the Human Race, but equally dazzling in the eyes of the Ten Thousand Races of the Universe!"

"Do you think the hostile Yao Race, Insect Race, and Void Race would just stand by and watch Human Race Geniuses rise and dominate the Universe?"

Uh.... that seems unlikely.

The rules of the Transcendent Factions forbid the stifling of Geniuses.

But your Human Race’s rules probably can’t control the Yao Race, can they?

It would be perfectly normal for a peerless powerhouse of the Yao Race to try and eliminate a Human Race Genius.

"If that’s the case, then just be a bit more low-key, no~?"

Qin Mu thought for a moment and then retorted, "Battle Intent is so powerful; there’s no need to show up in the Pinnacle Battle. Just wait until the Late Stage, Cultivate to God King, and then make an appearance."

Pfft~?

Ao Mengmeng rolled her eyes directly: "Guess why Battle Intent is called Battle Intent?"

Without waiting for Qin Mu’s answer, Ao Mengmeng replied directly.

"Of course, it’s because only the awe-inspiring Battle Intent forged and erupted through endless battles is called Battle Intent!"

"Without tempering, without experiencing life and death, how can powerhouses be born?"

"If one possesses Battle Intent but doesn’t seek battle, let alone the Battle Intent improving layer by layer, it’s normal for it to regress to the point of being unable to integrate Battle Intent at all."

"You’ve seen those Cultivators who only focus on secluded Cultivation and don’t seek battle. That Mo Qihai from before, his talent wasn’t low, right? You saw the result of his first battle."

"Useless! Absolutely useless!"

This.... Qin Mu was instantly speechless.

The problems Dragon Star encountered back then, the Human Race of the Universe couldn’t possibly not have thought of.

Geniuses must also be tempered, must fight, to gradually grow.

Otherwise, in the face of life-and-death combat, no matter what Realm you possess, you might not be able to fully utilize it and become a casualty of the enemy’s blade.

"It seems I misunderstood."

Qin Mu sighed softly.

"The Universe is too vast. Qingxuan Realm is located within the Human Race’s territory, without external threats, so I subconsciously believed the Universe was peaceful."

The Universe cannot be peaceful.

Among the Ten Thousand Races, there is only battle!

For territory, and for survival.

The will of the universe resets talent through life and death.

The larger your territory, the more resources and population you have, and the more Geniuses are born.

More Geniuses mean more powerhouses, and stronger combat power.

And vice versa.

The Human Race has its current territory and its current status as a Peak race because the Human Race powerhouses of yesteryear fought for it with their fists, not with words.

Racial warfare is that cruel.

Once you fall into a disadvantage, what awaits you might be a rapid decline, like sailing against the current.

Death can come at any time.... Ao Mengmeng, seeing this, showed a gratified expression instead: "Your comprehension ability is indeed very strong. Not only with Cultivation Techniques, but also with combat and understanding the Universe, you learn very quickly."

Normal Cultivators, after spending a long time in a comfortable environment, won’t listen no matter how much or how seriously you speak.

"Training will lead to losses among Geniuses; there’s no avoiding that."

Ao Mengmeng continued calmly, "The Dragon Clan’s death rate during external training is over ninety percent, but this does not deter the Dragon Clan Geniuses’ determination to train."

"The Human Race is the same...."

"Therefore, the death rate of the Lan Family’s Battle Intent successors during external training is also terrifyingly high. They are practically public enemies of all races; anyone who sees them will besiege and kill them!"

Ha.

It’s really hard to say whether Bloodline talent is the Universe’s favor or a curse.

It should be a favor, right?

At least the Dragon Clan’s strength is also built upon a death rate of over ninety percent.

Qin Mu has Clones and a System, so training is manageable; he just needs to stay alive.

As they spoke.

Qin Mu stepped into the Starry Sky Arena.

A smart system projection appeared before him to greet him.

"Welcome to the Starry Sky Arena!"

"This is the dueling ground for all Cultivators, a life-and-death battle! There is no retreat, only advancement!!!"

"Here, there is the highest glory in the Universe!"

"Here, there are the strongest opponents in the Universe!"

"Here, there are the most magical rewards in the Universe!"

"Starry Sky Arena, fulfilling all your needs, solely in pursuit of the strongest!!!"

...."Beep, detecting that you have already signed up for the Universe Pinnacle Battle. Do you wish to participate?"

Qin Mu smiled slightly: "Of course!"

"Beep, participation confirmed!"

A mystic light simultaneously scanned Qin Mu’s entire body.

This was the Human Race Pinnacle Battle, and only the main body could log in to participate; even the Thunder Dragon Clone couldn’t register.

"Contestant, Qin Mu."

"Realm: Galaxy Fifth Tier."

"This is your number. Before the match begins, you can wait in the spectator stands."

"At the same time, you can also participate in win-loss betting to cheer for your favorite contestant."

Holy crap!

Betting?!

You really know how to make money, don’t you?

Qin Mu just wanted to say that every Transcendent Factions is not to be trifled with.

Starry Sky Arena.

As the highest battlefield for the Human Race, registration is free, and watching is free, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t want to make money.

"Qingxuan City, K8-G2218...."

"First battle location, Starry Sky Arena, First Floor, Pinnacle Battle exclusive arena, number 00077."

"Estimated waiting time, 15 minutes."

Qin Mu glanced at the smart system, then directly teleported to the spectator stands....a square-shaped venue.

The center was the Arena area, with a total of ten thousand.

Each Arena was designed with spatial technology, appearing to be only 10x10 meters in size, but in reality, the interior of the Arena was a 10-kilometer x 10-kilometer battlefield.

The surrounding spectator stands were layered, layer upon layer, with an unknown number of spatial layers.

Anyway, with Qin Mu’s spatial level, he couldn’t even see through it, and had no idea how many layers of space were designed around him.
