Chapter 693: Concept of Battle
"Is this the Concept of Battle?" Max muttered, astonished. Even just standing there, doing nothing, he could faintly sense the will to battle pressing against his spirit. It wasn’t threatening—rather, it was inviting, like a call to arms for anyone bold enough to accept it. And that only meant one thing.
Someone in the Great Ruler Empire had truly comprehended the Concept of Battle—a Myth Grade concept. The rarest, the most difficult to grasp, yet among the strongest that existed in the world. Max clenched his fists slightly, his excitement rising.
If someone had left their will engraved into this place, then that person... must be one of the true giants of the Great Ruler Empire—or perhaps the last. Either way, Max couldn’t help but wonder—who was the legendary figure behind this Battle Hall?
As Max approached the grand structure of the Battle Hall, a sense of solemnity and significance settled over him. The place was bustling—hundreds of young geniuses and battle-hardened geniuses moving in and out through the massive, rune-inscribed gates that glowed faintly with power.
But amidst that flow, one thing stood out clearly: those who came with elders or had just been granted the 1-star genius status had to go through a separate, heavily monitored entrance. That line moved slower, guarded by sentries and surveillance arrays, with a designated verification booth stationed to confirm their credentials.
Max quietly joined the line, waiting his turn while observing the variety of expressions—some excited, some nervous—on the faces around him.
When his turn finally came, the woman at the booth glanced up with practiced indifference. "Proof of your identity," she requested in a calm, professional tone.
Max nodded and raised his wrist, tapping a few times on his holowatch. A holographic profile appeared mid-air, clearly marked with the insignia of the Great Ruler Empire, listing his name, rank, and official genius status.
The woman gave the details a quick scan, her eyes flickering with subtle interest at his recent promotion before she gave a small nod. "You are good to go."
