Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System

In Qingxuan City, the number of participants alone was unknown, numbering in the billions.

The number of spectators was even more incalculable.

The on-site attendance easily exceeded a trillion, with the entire Human Race across the Universe watching simultaneously, and even more.

So many people, yet all accommodated within a venue that appeared to cover only a few million square meters....

Qin Mu looked towards the Arena.

Ten thousand Arenas simultaneously started battles, with a time limit of 10 minutes.

If a winner could not be determined by the time limit, the Starry Sky Arena would automatically judge based on the battle situation.

Normal battles in the Starry Sky Arena were death matches, also with a time limit, but the time would be longer.

The Pinnacle Battle, however, had a shorter time limit due to the large number of participants....Ao Mengmeng said, "Normal Pinnacle Battles, during the selection phase, are all point-based matches, with millions of participants competing in the same venue for points."

"Only the Starry Sky Arena is different; even for the Pinnacle Battle, it’s one-on-one, directly starting a knockout tournament."

Qin Mu actually thought it was quite good.

1v1.

A true man’s battle.

Since it was a competition for the strongest, it should naturally be a path of continuous victories.

Many people felt that, compared to points, a 1v1 knockout tournament had more elements of luck, with strong individuals encountering each other early, leading to premature elimination.

But in reality, only one person can ultimately leave their name at the Peak!

If you can’t win one match, it basically means it’s over.

Giving you another chance wouldn’t make much sense.

This isn’t a sports competition, so why care about your performance? Your condition?

Battle is only about life and death.

You only have one life; if you’ve already died once, do you still want to revive and turn the tables?

Isn’t that a joke?

....Qin Mu summoned a projection.

Ten thousand Arenas, all starting at the same time; no one had ten thousand eyes to follow them all simultaneously.

Therefore, the smart system would automatically select some matchups worth paying attention to.

"Is Lan Chu not in the first round?"

Qin Mu still wanted to see firsthand what Battle Intent truly was.

Since he couldn’t find it, he just casually flipped through...."Domain?"

Qin Mu flipped twice more, and it was still a battle of Domain clashes.

"Damn, how are these all Galaxy Level?"

"There aren’t even any Star River Level, let alone Law comprehension. How are there even guys whose Domain isn’t full, participating in this?"

"Awooo!"

"Free participation; this kind of opportunity comes once every ten thousand years. Most Cultivators wouldn’t miss it."

Ao Mengmeng explained:

"The most important function of the Pinnacle Battle is to select Genius, so no thresholds will be set."

Good heavens.

This really is the Pinnacle Battle stage, come if you dare to dream!

"The matchups are all arranged by the smart system. The strength of both sides is uncertain, but their Realm is definitely similar."

"The battles in the first half of the day are basically all Galaxy Level. As for Star Rank, they most likely won’t come; they’re truly too weak, no need to seek abuse."

Hmm?

What does that mean?

Qin Mu looked at his participation time, estimating it would be around the second round.

"Holy crap?"

"I’m also fighting in the first few rounds, so I’m defaulted to be a one-round exit player?"

Ao Mengmeng: "Otherwise? You are Galaxy Fifth Tier. Do you still want to occupy the main Arena?"

"Look below."

"The ten largest Arenas, all Galaxy Level Peak, right? And they are all very strong Galaxy Level Peak, all possessing Law comprehension."

"Being able to appear there proves that the smart system has confirmed your strength, at least having a certain competitiveness."

"Otherwise, even if you participate, no one will be able to see you."

Alright.

Ten thousand Arenas, starting simultaneously; without some strength, who would watch you?

Qin Mu wasn’t in a hurry.

This was a good opportunity for tempering, to make up for what he lacked in his past progress.

All his battle experience came from Green Peak.

He knew this experience, could use it, and would use it flexibly, but to say he could use it exactly like Green Peak, that was still impossible.

After all, it wasn’t his own, and his choices at critical moments would also differ.

Now, Qin Mu needed to have battle after battle, to transform all this battle experience into his own.

"Hmm, then I’ll maintain the battle power of a Galaxy Fifth Tier."

A normal Galaxy Fifth Tier.

Fusion Domain fifth layer.

Aside from this, Law and space would not be used.

"Just relying on battle experience, how far can I go?"

Qin Mu was already eager to try.

This was the best opportunity to test his practical combat ability.

"Hmm~?"

Qin Mu was just about to properly watch a Galaxy Level battle when he suddenly spotted a familiar figure on the projected Arena.

He clicked, enlarging it.

Familiar!

Truly familiar....then he looked at the name.

Bai Ming!

"Holy crap?"

"This guy, how did he come out?"

Qin Mu truly didn’t expect that in the first round of the Universe Pinnacle Battle, he would see Bai Ming!

Hiss....Bai Ming and the others definitely had Metaverse login devices.

Since he came, then Wu Po Xing, Yan Kuang, and the others must have all come too, right?

Qin Mu immediately searched for their names.

"Indeed!"

"Wu Po Xing is on in the first round, still in a fierce battle...."

Bai Ming??

Qin Mu turned his head, just in time to see Bai Ming unleash dozens of Flying Swords, combined with his Domain, instantly annihilating his opponent.

"Hmm, even without being Galaxy Level, a Mentalist still has an advantage."

His attention returned to Wu Po Xing.

He was already close to Star Rank Peak cultivation, and with the guidance from Heavenly Sword Sect these days, plus Green Peak’s death training in the Secret Realm, his cultivation had broken through to Galaxy Level, and his fighting style was even more ferocious.

Bang bang bang~!

Every time Wu Po Xing’s pure golden fist struck out, it would explode into countless golden light particles.

"Golden Light Domain?"

"Hmm....this Domain is indeed suitable for him."

He then looked at Wu Po Xing’s opponent.

A Galaxy Third Tier, using a battle saber, with a fierce fighting style, sometimes completely disregarding injuries, and with a Golden Fire Domain, he advanced almost madly in close quarters.

Every saber strike was a blazing inferno, a frantic assault!

Wu Po Xing used his fists, so he should not have feared close combat, but the opponent’s style, and the higher Domain and Realm, indeed somewhat suppressed him, forcing him to retreat step by step.

"Damn it, what did you learn from Green Peak?"

"Get close and fight him! If you don’t fight, you’re going to lose!"

Qin Mu’s vision, even if not as good as Green Peak’s now, was not far off.

He could almost instantly determine the turning point of a battle.

The Pinnacle Battle did not restrict Realm, weapons, or treasures; if you had these things, you could bring them into the battlefield.

However, armor was restricted.

The highest was Star River Level armor; if your Realm was only Galaxy Level, then your armor also had to be restricted to Galaxy Level.

Otherwise, a Galaxy Level facing Star River Level armor would have difficulty even breaking through it within 10 minutes, making it impossible to determine a winner.

Conversely.

Both sides were Galaxy Level, but their weapons were both Star River Level; that would test their strength and battle experience even more....Bai Ming returned to the spectator stands, beside him were Yan Kuang, Gun King, Bai Qingyan, Ling Qianxue, and others.

"Awesome!"

Bai Ming roared, "Damn it! It’s been so long since I’ve had such a comfortable fight!"

"Violence!! Is this what battles in the Universe are like?"

"Hahaha, as expected, I am the Son of the Universe, destined to shine brightly in the Universe!!!"

Hmm~?

"Wu Po Xing~?"

"He probably won’t even win the first round, right?"

Hiss~~

Ling Qianxue’s eyelids twitched wildly after hearing that: "Sister Qingyan, has your grandfather always been so chuunibyou?"

Bai Qingyan’s pretty face darkened, indicating she didn’t want to speak.

Yan Kuang, on the other hand, cast a disdainful look: "You old man are just lucky. If your opponent’s Realm was a bit higher, try seeing if your Flying Swords could still hit him?"

"Hahaha, jealousy~! This is pure jealousy~!"

Bai Ming laughed proudly: "You’re unconvinced, right? How about we decide the winner in the second round! Let’s see who can go further?"

"If this old man wins, no nonsense, hand over all the points you have, how about it?"

Shameless!

Yan Kuang truly wanted to label Bai Ming as shameless.

"You, a Mentalist, are comparing yourself to me, a Martial Artist?"

"Do you have any shame?"

"If you’ve got the guts, go find Qin Mu to compare with~?"

Eh?

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

"Where’s Qin Mu?"

"Did Senior Brother go somewhere?"

"Doesn’t he know the Universe Pinnacle Battle has started?"
