Chapter 156 Arrival at the Qianwu Branch
Virtual universe, within the Wufeng Realm.
Nuolan stood there, still somewhat dazed, the scene of the battle just now replaying in her mind.
Chen Yuan's bizarre movement technique and incredibly fast sword speed at the end all indicated that he was not only proficient in the laws of wind, but also had a profound understanding of the laws of time.
This comprehensive strength left Nolan completely convinced of her defeat.
He knew very well that with his current level, he would need to at least double his strength to have any chance of competing with his opponent, assuming that Chen Yuan had not hidden any more of his strength.
But judging from the other party's relaxed attitude, Nolan felt that it was very likely that this was not his full strength.
"This new recruit is from the Heilongshan branch, and his name is Chen Yuan?"
Nolan found Chen Yuan's detailed information through the internal system and firmly remembered this impressive name.
He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "It's the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region again. I remember in the Genius Battle a few years ago, there was a core member named Luo Feng who also came from here."
In a small star field, two geniuses at the core level have been born in succession. Nolan couldn't help but marvel at the outstanding people and resources of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Field.
Just then, a communication request popped up.
After the connection was established, a young dragon-human with earth-yellow scales appeared in the holographic projection.
"Nolan, what happened?" The dragon-human youth with yellow scales looked quite shocked and asked in a clamor, "Why did your ranking drop? Mine dropped to third place too!"
Since losing to Chen Yuan, Nuolan's status as the number one seed has been taken over by Chen Yuan, and he himself has been relegated to second place.
The resulting chain reaction caused all the geniuses to drop one place in the rankings, until the original 100th seed was downgraded to an ordinary genius.
"What else could it be? I lost the challenge." Nolan didn't seem to care about her ranking.
With his strength, the core level assessment two years from now is basically a done deal, and he will most likely be able to successfully advance to the Apocalypse Secret Realm.
So he smiled and looked at the dragon-man boy on the screen, explaining, "Ke Yan, a freak has emerged in this branch's general promotion assessment."
"He received the challenge card as the top freshman and challenged me to a duel."
"Moreover, my opponent defeated me with overwhelming superiority in the battle and secured the number one seed."
Upon hearing Nuolan's words, the dragon-human boy named Keyan stared in shock, his eyes wide: "Defeat you?! And with overwhelming superiority?"
"Doesn't that mean he'll definitely be in the core team in two years?"
"Yes." Nolan smiled knowingly. "With this person joining, it means that a spot in the core team assessment two years from now has already been secured."
"Ke Yan, you'd better work hard."
Nuolan's strength is far ahead of the others, and he is basically guaranteed to enter the core level, so he is not in a hurry.
However, apart from Nuolan, none of the Hengxing geniuses in the entire Qianwu branch, even Ke Yan, who was originally ranked second, were confident that they could advance to the Doomsday Secret Realm.
Now, another genius, even more powerful than Nolan, has arrived at the branch.
This means that two spots for the post-apocalyptic secret realm two years from now have already been secured, making the competition even more intense for geniuses like Ke Yan.
"You're right, I don't have time to waste anymore, goodbye."
The dragon-man youth nodded solemnly and immediately cut off the communication, clearly intending to seize the time to devote himself to more rigorous training.
After ending her call with Ke Yan, Nuolan received seven or eight more communication requests, mostly from geniuses who were originally ranked in the top ten, inquiring about the situation.
After explaining for more than half an hour, Nuolan finally lost her patience, blocked all calls and emails, and went back into seclusion.
The news of Chen Yuan becoming the number one seed spread like wildfire.
Through word of mouth among the original top ten geniuses, the news spread throughout the entire group of 100,000 geniuses in just one day, and even employees from other departments heard about this sensational news.
Within the territory of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, there is a seemingly ordinary life-bearing planet—Valo Star.
Inside a hidden underground base on the planet.
"Team leader, we just received intelligence from our informant that another genius has emerged in the Qianwu Universe, named Chen Yuan."
A man in a silver uniform with three eyes on his forehead spoke, his tone very respectful.
"Understood." The team leader, dressed in a black uniform, grunted in agreement. "We have too little information about this person; our understanding of him is still very limited."
"However, based on the talent he has already demonstrated, it is comparable to the genius level of the virtual universe company 'Heaven and Earth Secret Realm'."
Furthermore, they haven't undergone core training yet, so their specific potential is still hard to say.
The black-clad team leader stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before making a decision: "How about this, first put this person on the assassination list No. 98, and then look for an opportunity."
"We know too little about this person yet, so we shouldn't rush into action in the short term."
"Yes!" The three-eyed man immediately responded respectfully, and then entered Chen Yuan's information into the assassination list, ranking him as number N0.98.
Equivalent to a genius in the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company.
If Chen Yuan could see this list, he would be surprised to find that, in addition to himself, No. 0.98, there is another person he knows very well on it.
NO.91—Luo Feng!
Of course, Chen Yuan was completely unaware of these events.
At this moment, after eight consecutive days of dark space travel, his Origin Palace finally landed on a high-level administrative star called "Blue Ocean Star".
In the VIP room of the Universe Galaxy Bank in Blue Ocean City, the bank's intelligent system is personally receiving this distinguished client.
To be a "three-star" account, you need to have more than 10 Mixed Yuan Units in your account assets, which is generally only something that a Realm Lord can achieve.
The strongest being on the entire Blue Ocean Star is only a Domain Lord, so according to bank regulations, only bank AI is qualified to receive guests with three-star accounts.
"I want to sell some goods," Chen Yuan said calmly, tossing his spatial ring through the window.
A red scanning beam appeared inside the window, and after a moment, the bank's AI responded: "Distinguished guest, the goods you provided are 5000 tons of 'high-concentration nutrient solution,' which has been identified as suitable for Constant-Level Cultivation and of extremely high quality."
"Would you prefer to sell through a bank or have the bank acquire the property directly?"
"If you choose to purchase through a bank, the price will be 1 mixed unit/ton."
"If sold through channels, the value of the nutrient solution is enough to qualify it for a three-star auction, and the final price per ton could reach 2 mixed units."
"Of course, going through an auction will take some time, but we can guarantee that the item will be sold within 10 years."
After hearing what the bank's AI said, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate and said directly, "No need to wait, I choose to have the bank acquire it."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuan tossed out another ring.
"And these are all nutrient solutions, let the bank buy them too."

Another flash of red light appeared, and the bank's AI system announced, "Upon testing, this batch of goods consists of 4000 tons of the same quality nutrient solution."
Are you certain that the entire acquisition will be handled by Cosmic Galaxy Bank?
"Confirmed." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Okay, the goods have been inspected and accepted. Your payment of 9000 units will be credited to your account within three minutes."
On Blue Ocean Star, no individual or force could handle a transaction of 9000 Chaos Units at once, but through the intelligent system of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, this huge transaction was successfully completed within minutes.
Not long after, the Shiyuan Palace flew away from Blue Ocean Star.
When Chen Yuan put another 9000 tons of nutrient solution into the optimization column, Ireil reported: "Master, your account has received a payment from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. 9000 Mixed Yuan Units have been credited to your account."
"Understood." Chen Yuan said casually, "Plan the next route, still a journey of more than 7 days, and the destination should be no less prestigious than Blue Ocean Star."
"Received," Irene replied. "The route has been determined, and the new destination is still on the flight path to the Ganwu branch. It is expected to arrive in 7 days."
In this way, Chen Yuan stopped at two more planets along the way, sold all the optimized nutrient solutions, and his net worth immediately soared to 2 Mixed Yuan Units.
At the same time, because his assets had exceeded the standard of "ten thousand mixed units", the Cosmic Galaxy Bank upgraded his account privileges to "four-star", making it more convenient for him to sell things in the future.
After accumulating sufficient wealth, Chen Yuan immediately placed an order from the treasury to purchase all the treasures needed for the seventh and eighth levels of the Nine Luminaries Body, spending a total of 6900 Mixed Yuan Units.
With these resources, he can cultivate the Nine Luminaries Body to over 60% of the eighth level.
After setting the harvest location and time, the Shiyuan Palace began to advance at full speed.
Finally, after a long month-long voyage, Chen Yuan arrived at his destination—the Qianwu branch headquarters!
