Chapter 704: Chapter 226: King vs. King! Avoid Your Spearhead?! Hidden Item "Rebirth Compass
He was also well-versed in politics, military strategy, and history...
Without a doubt, Caesar was a perfect hexagonal Warrior with no weaknesses.
An unprecedented light gleamed in Qin Feng’s eyes.
He had already designated Caesar as a target on his path of the Martial Dao—one he must pursue and surpass.
***
After solidifying his path of the Martial Dao, Qin Feng’s state of mind returned to one of pristine clarity.
He did not rush to leave the barren planet. Instead, he sat down quietly, cross-legged, and opened the Subspace forum on his contestant Jade Token, beginning to browse the latest updates in the joint private domain of Galaxies 115-119.
The experience of defeat had given him a clearer and more macroscopic understanding of the situation in the entire battle zone.
The forum was as bustling—or rather, as chaotic—as ever.
Countless posts were refreshing at a rapid pace.
[BATTLE REPORT! Major battle at the Pioneer Furnace in Galaxy 116! More than ten of our Infinite Sea members joined forces to repel a surprise attack from Galaxy 99’s Blood Axe Squad!]
[REQUESTING BACKUP! The Void Sunflower in Galaxy 115 is about to mature! At least three elite squads from Galaxy 99 are converging on this location! Requesting all nearby compatriots to provide immediate support!]
[INTEL! Galaxy 99 is carrying out a full-scale strategic strangulation against us! They seem to have figured out everyone’s Rebirth patterns and are specifically targeting us during our weakest Hunting Stage!]
[RAGE! It’s those idiots from Galaxy 118 again! To snatch a Furnace Core Fragment, they actually backstabbed our brothers from Galaxy 117!]
Each message was filled with the stench of blood and fire.
Qin Feng’s gaze calmly swept over the noisy stream of information, and he quickly grasped several key points.
First, all the geniuses from the five galaxies were still fighting for themselves, just as before, engaging in brutal and disorganized battles over the various Constant Star-level opportunities.
Second, the Martial Artists from Galaxy 99, like a cancer clinging to the bone, had already infiltrated every corner of the five galaxies.
Operating in small squads, their actions were efficient and their objectives clear. They specifically targeted the effective forces of the five galaxies, carrying out precise and endless harassment and hunts.
’Evidently, this is the second great net Caesar has cast outside the Barbaric Beast Graveyard.’
Just then, a stickied and highlighted post with a bright red title instantly captured Qin Feng’s full attention.
[GALAXY 117’S TOP TALENT, INFINITE SEA-LEVEL POWERHOUSE FLAME CROW, HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ELIMINATED TODAY!]
This news was like a huge boulder thrown into an already turbulent lake, creating a thousand waves.
It also caused Qin Feng’s pupils to constrict slightly.
"Flame Crow... eliminated?"
The news was quite shocking to him.
He knew very well that although the elimination mechanism of the Cosmic Genius Battle was brutal, it wasn’t that easy to trigger.
After every death, there was a ten-year Hunting Stage as a buffer.
Within those ten years, as long as you could successfully kill another contestant, you could eliminate the risk of "elimination" and regain your precious official spot in the competition.
For a top-tier talent of Flame Crow’s caliber, finding a weak opponent and completing a "hunt" within ten years should not have been difficult.
To get a genius of this level "officially eliminated" was extremely difficult.
But now, Flame Crow—a prodigy who had once been as famous as Cang and himself—had actually been eliminated from the competition.
Qin Feng immediately clicked on the post.
The post’s content was written by a Martial Artist from Galaxy 117 in an extremely mournful and indignant tone.
"...The first time, Flame Crow was in the Barbaric Beast Graveyard. He was slain by Yan Hu of Galaxy 99."
"After his Rebirth, Flame Crow endured the difficult Hunting Stage alone."
"Furthermore, he successfully seized a Constant Star-level Resource in Galaxy 119—the Stone Giant’s Hand—and his strength increased immensely."
"Afterward, to wash away the shame, Flame Crow took the initiative to seek out Yan Hu again, and a world-shaking battle erupted between them."
"In that battle, although Flame Crow was narrowly defeated in the end, it was a defeat with honor!"
"However, just as Flame Crow underwent his second Rebirth and entered the Hunting Stage... he was quickly ambushed by another powerhouse from Galaxy 99, Yu Hai."
"During his deathmatch with Yu Hai, Yan Hu appeared again and joined forces with Yu Hai to besiege Flame Crow..."
"In the end, Flame Crow fell. Having failed to complete the Hunting Stage mission, he was officially eliminated."
"I strongly suspect that Galaxy 99 has acquired a special competition item that can detect Rebirth locations, just like the Betting Order."
Below the post were countless replies from the Martial Artists of Galaxy 117, filled with fury and indignation.
Qin Feng silently closed the post, and everything clicked into place.
’Still, using an item that can pinpoint a Rebirth location just to get someone officially eliminated... that’s going a bit too far.’
"Fighting over opportunities is one thing, but kicking someone out of the competition like this, cutting them off from hundreds of years of future opportunities... that’s the kind of thing that creates a major grudge."
Qin Feng mused.
’According to the precedent from past competitions, even if you just lay low, follow the main groups to pick up scraps, or even find a teammate to trade kills with to clear the Hunting Stage, you could eventually become a Constant Star-level Powerhouse. You could even progress more than halfway down the Constant Star-level path.’
’But now, to be kicked out of the competition before even reaching the Planetary level...’
’This kind of hatred is on the level of a blood feud.’
...
Qin Feng continued scrolling through the posts and soon discovered a new, extremely strange phenomenon.
