Rise of the Invincible Upgrade System

Qin Mu, doesn’t he know about the Pinnacle Battle?

Impossible!

Ling Qianxue mused, "He gave us the log-in devices. There’s no reason he wouldn’t know. As long as you log in, the entire screen is filled with advertisements for the Pinnacle Battle. Even a blind person would see it, right?"

Bai Qingyan trembled upon hearing this, "smart system, search for contestant Qin Mu!"

Beep!

Search complete!

"Really?!"

Ling Qianxue immediately leaned her head over, "Good heavens, he actually snuck over to compete without saying a word! Bad guy! So bad!"

Bai Ming darted to the side, "Let this old man see, what Realm is Senior Brother in now?"

"Galaxy Fifth Tier?"

Hiss~~

Everyone immediately fell into silence and confusion.

Yan Kuang even curled his lips, "That’s not right, is it? Just a few days ago, Qin Mu was able to deal with the Night Spirit Society’s Galaxy Peak, and even Star River Level....

"How could his Realm only be Galaxy Fifth Tier?"

Ling Qianxue’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "That’s not necessarily true. Senior Brother Qin is a Genius, after all. There have been many instances of him killing across Realms before. Galaxy Fifth Tier is just his Realm, not his actual combat power~"

Hmm~ Makes sense!

Bai Ming stroked his chin, "Wild Blade, what level do you think Senior Brother’s combat power is now?"

"Damn it, you’re asking me?" Yan Kuang rolled his eyes, "Judging from his past achievements, he can at least fight against Martial Artists below Star River Ninth Tier. If it’s higher, then it’s hard to say...."

Ah!?

Ling Qianxue’s eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, "Then, following this line of thought, doesn’t Wood have a chance to win the champion?"

Ah, this.... Everyone fell silent again.

This is the Universe!

There are hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, if not more, just by looking.

Moreover, many of these Cultivators have reached the Peak of the Star River Level.

"Winning the championship might not be easy...."

Bai Ming also wanted Qin Mu to win the championship, but the difficulty involved could only be understood by coming to the scene and seeing so many Universe Cultivators.

"Tsk~"

A scornful sneer suddenly came from nearby.

"Where did this bumpkin come from, daring to talk about winning the championship?"

"Hahaha."

"This is truly hilarious! This is the biggest joke I’ve heard in hundreds of thousands of years!"

....Upon hearing this, Ling Qianxue immediately rolled her eyes and glared, "What are you saying? You yourself aren’t qualified to win the championship, so how do you know others aren’t?"

"And bumpkin, I think you’re the bumpkin!"

Hiss!

Seeing Ling Qianxue so impulsive, Bai Qingyan quickly pulled her back, "Shh, have you forgotten Qin Mu’s rule?"

Cultivators from Dragon Star who enter the Metaverse have only one rule.

Do not expose! Do not expose! Do not expose!

Therefore, any contact with the Universe carries the possibility of exposure.

"But, Sister Qingyan...." Ling Qianxue was clearly a little indignant.

It was fine if they talked about her, she indeed had no ability.

But to talk about Qin Mu, and even call herself a bumpkin, how could she tolerate that.... Although the surrounding Cultivators didn’t have Star Realm, they were all at the Peak of the Star River Level.

"A bumpkin is a bumpkin, still not admitting it?"

"I’m telling you."

"All those who fought in the first three rounds were children below the Star River Level, at most just a warm-up, just for fun. Are you taking it seriously?"

"As for winning the championship?"

"Hahaha, thankfully this is Qingxuan City, and there are no external powerhouses here. Otherwise, if others heard it, they might think our Qingxuan Realm has fallen so low that we can’t even tell our own strength~"

Ling Qianxue’s silver teeth ground audibly, and her pretty face was flushed. If Bai Qingyan hadn’t held her back, she would have already gone berserk.

Bai Ming’s brow furrowed, "Don’t speak, let’s check the information first."

Yan Kuang also had the same thought.

They had checked the Pinnacle Battle information before coming, but they hadn’t thought about winning the championship, so they didn’t know what level Qingxuan Realm was currently at.... A moment later, everyone stared at Qingxuan Realm’s results, dumbfounded!

"Four...."

"Forty-third floor?"

"Qingxuan Realm, within a radius of tens of billions of light years, the highest achievement of countless Human Race Cultivators is only the forty-third floor?"

"Last champion’s final score, one hundred twenty-seventh floor?"

Pfft!!

Ling Qianxue spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"What kind of gap is this?"

"Is Qingxuan Realm doing so badly in the Universe?"

Yan Kuang nodded slightly:

"Calculated, the gap between Qingxuan Realm and the Universe might be similar to the gap between Dragon Star and the Jiuxuan Empire that governs the Galaxy...."

Bai Ming continued to check.

"No combat power data, but there is an external estimated combat power...."

"Mastering dual Space Law, mastering Fusion Law, single Law comprehension above the sixtieth floor, extremely rich combat experience, possessing High-Grade Divine Weapons...."

Yan Kuang was stunned upon hearing this, "What are you talking about? Say something I can understand!"

"This is a Genius Battle, not a Universe Powerhouse Battle!"

"Holy cow, with this combat power, I feel like I don’t need to cower even when fighting gods~"

Bai Ming directly slapped the information onto Yan Kuang’s face.

"Will this old man lie to you?!"

"It clearly states above that the champion of the Star River Peak Battle absolutely possesses Divine Rank combat power!!"

God?

Ling Qianxue looked stunned, "Grandpa Bai, is the god you’re talking about the same god we normally understand?"

"No!" Bai Qingyan affirmed, "This god is stronger!"

Pfft!

Ling Qianxue spat out, "What’s going on?"

Bai Qingyan took a breath, "Gods in the Universe are immortal, eternally existing, capable of destroying stars with a flick of a hand, establishing divine kingdoms, and being worshipped by all beings...."

"Then.... Qin Mu’s chances of winning the championship are basically zero~!!" Even if Ling Qianxue was as dull as she was, she knew that Qin Mu couldn’t win the championship.

The gap was too big.

It was already so big that she didn’t even dare to dream about it.

The entire Qingxuan Realm, countless Cultivators, no one dared to even think about it.

The biggest hope on the Metaverse communication platform was just for a Genius to emerge who could Breakthrough the fiftieth floor.

Even with such low expectations, most people lacked confidence.

"What about the fiftieth floor? Is there, is there hope?" Ling Qianxue asked weakly.

Bai Ming also found it hard to answer this, only pondering, "Maybe.... probably.... perhaps.... just a little bit...."

Thump!

Ling Qianxue immediately sat down on the spot, disheartened, "That shouldn’t be~ Qin Mu is very strong~!"

Alas~

Bai Ming sighed.

"Senior Brother is strong, invincible on Dragon Star, and I even think he’s probably invincible at the Galaxy Level~"

"But...."

"This Pinnacle Battle starts at the Star River Level."

"The Geniuses he’s facing are from the entire Universe. Those Geniuses might be Disciples of some gods, or even special existences with legendary Bloodline...."

"The fiftieth floor is too far away."

"Didn’t you see? Qingxuan Realm hasn’t been able to Breakthrough the fiftieth floor for tens of millions of years."

Bai Qingyan’s eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.

"Tens of millions of years?"

"Is this time related to the fall of the Heavenly Sword Sect, oh no, to the Heavenly Sword Sect encountering a change?!"

Everyone listened, deep in thought.

Bai Qingyan continued, "If, if the disappearance of the Heavenly Sword Sect led to Qingxuan Realm having no Geniuses, then Qin Mu, as the Legacy holder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, isn’t without a chance to Breakthrough the fiftieth floor, is he?"

Yan Kuang reacted the fastest, "Makes sense! You can try to place a bet!"

"If you buy now, the odds should be quite exaggerated...."

Upon hearing this, Ling Qianxue shot up three meters high, "I can, I can, I can do this!"

Soon.

Ling Qianxue skillfully opened the betting interface and typed in Qin Mu’s name.

"Pass 10 floors, odds, 158 times."

"Pass 20 floors, odds, 720 times."

...."Pass 50 floors, odds, 5,028,000 times."

"Hiss, Qingyan Big Sister, look at these odds..." Ling Qianxue counted carefully, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Did he, did he write it wrong?!"

Five million times!

"Looking down on people, aren’t you?! How hateful!"

Ling Qianxue angrily rolled up her sleeves and gritted her teeth, "Starry Sky Arena, Cosmic Pinnacle Battle, this Young Miss is going to teach you a lesson today!"

"Only 50 levels? Who are you looking down on?"

"You don’t even give odds for 100 levels or winning the championship, so tell me, are you afraid to lose?"

Everyone was stunned.

At this moment.

Everyone clearly understood a famous saying: A newborn calf does not fear a tiger!

Bai Ming said cheerfully, "Fifty levels, five million times. The Pinnacle Battle thinks that Qin Mu’s probability of Breakthrough is basically zero."

On Dragon Star.

Any Arena always has unexpected situations.

So even if the odds are Heaven-Defying, they wouldn’t be Heaven-Defying enough to offer several million times.

Think about it.

If you only bet 1 coin, your profit would be as high as 5 million.

With these odds, even if you paid off your opponents, you would still need to clear the levels, right?

Yan Kuang: "The terrifying energy of the Universe Forces is beyond our comprehension. Cheating or paying off opponents to throw a match should be absolutely impossible!"

Hmm.

Bai Ming thought the same.

Daring to offer these odds proves that the other party is not afraid of anyone throwing a match.

"Thinking about it carefully, how much courage would it take to throw a match in front of the gods? This probably isn’t something that can be measured by money, right?"

Bai Qingyan glanced at Ling Qianxue: "Let’s bet together, even if it’s just to cheer for Qin Mu."

"Okay!"

Ling Qianxue nodded heavily, then suddenly burst into tears.

"Qingyan Big Sister, it, it said I have no money~"

"Wuwuwu~!!"

"This Young Miss has no money? I still have thousands of jiuxuan coins in my account!!!"

Bai Qingyan looked embarrassed.

Then she looked at the betting requirements.

"Universe universal currency - energy stone?"

"1:10000, qidala gold coin?"

"This... I can’t even scrape that together...???"

Two people who were rich enough to rival a nation on Dragon Star, upon arriving in the Universe, couldn’t even produce 1 universal Universe currency?

Ah, this... how awkward!
