Accepting the Challenge?

Luo Feng had just heard Chaman King and Lishuo King talk about how difficult it was to receive challenge invitations, yet in the blink of an eye, the challenge invitations he received were soaring like a waterfall. In a flash, the number jumped by hundreds... In just a few seconds of browsing the Black Book, it had already climbed past 30,000!

“This, this, when I first entered Glory World and opened the Black Book, the challenge invitation column was still blank. This, this is too fast,” Luo Feng muttered, his mind buzzing from the data.

Previously, when Luo Feng first entered Glory World, he had set his name, and only then did Glory World truly recognize the identity of 'Daohe King'.

Before this...

Even if those foreign races wanted to challenge Daohe King, they couldn't find a target. Now that Luo Feng had appeared in the open plaza of Glory World, the news spread like wildfire, and almost everyone knew. There were naturally countless individuals eager to fight the legendary human peerless genius, 'Daohe King'. And Luo Feng was a 'triple beast god inheritor', and among inheritors, 'triple' was clearly the most common!

The total number of inheritors exceeded one hundred million!

Among them, Universe Venerables were incredibly rare, but the number of Sector Lord Undying inheritors still exceeded one hundred million! Most of the peerless geniuses who had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years had reached the 'triple' stage. Many who had perfected the 'triple' stage had begun to comprehend the 'quadruple' stage, such as Zhenyan King, who was a quadruple inheritor.

Therefore, triple inheritors were the most numerous!

Followed by quadruple inheritors!

Then double inheritors! Quintuple inheritors! Sextuple inheritors! Septuple inheritors! Single inheritors!

'Septuple inheritors' represented the level of Sky Eclipse Palace Master, incredibly close to the Guardian Beast God, and were extremely rare, numbering only in the tens.

However, 'single inheritors' were the fewest, at 0!

Even those who had just arrived usually had some foundation; there truly wasn't a single 'single' inheritor.

...

Thousand Rain King, Lishuo King, and Chaman King all noticed Luo Feng staring at the Black Book.

“What are you looking at?” Thousand Rain King called out.

“Phew.”

Luo Feng looked at his three friends from the Hong Alliance beside him. So many foreign races challenging him would soon spread, so there was no need to hide it. He immediately lowered his voice and said, “I've received a lot of challenge invitations.”

“A lot?” Lishuo King, Chaman King, and Thousand Rain King were all startled.

“How many, a hundred?” Lishuo King had barely spoken when he felt it was wrong and shook his head. “Daohe, your reputation is simply too great. A Sector Lord can kill a peak Undying. And inheritors come from countless races of the universe, each a peerless genius. Many won't be convinced without truly fighting you, and some even want to take this opportunity to thoroughly 'bully' you, the peerless genius known throughout countless races of the universe. Yes, there will be many challenge invitations. You've just entered Glory World, so you might receive a thousand.”

Chaman King and Thousand Rain King both looked at Luo Feng.

“It's already over fifty thousand!” Luo Feng said in a low voice, having already shielded the surroundings. External sounds could enter, but internal sounds would not go out.

“Fifty thousand?” Lishuo King's eyes widened.

“Fifty thousand, huh,” Chaman King's expression instantly became incredibly complex. He had spent an incredibly long time on Purple Thorn Island, and his total number of battles was less than a thousand.

“So many, and this, this has only been a moment,” Thousand Rain King also stammered.

“It seems,” Chaman King said with some disappointment, “I still underestimated the determination of those hateful foreign races to fight you, Daohe. Your reputation is simply too great, and you are only a Sector Lord. In Glory World, many external supreme treasures, treasures, and all other fortuitous encounters are absent, so you will be at a great disadvantage in terms of strength. They want to fight you, the super genius renowned throughout countless races of the universe, first; second, they want to bully you; and third, they believe their own strength surpasses yours.”

Luo Feng glanced at the Black Book; the challenge invitations had already surpassed sixty thousand.

It seemed there were indeed many foreign race powerhouses who wanted to fight him.

“Daohe King, you are a triple inheritor,” Thousand Rain King quickly said. “And in the entire inheritance ground, triple inheritors and quadruple inheritors combined account for over 99% of all inheritors! Among them, triple inheritors are the most numerous, exceeding 90 million! Even if one percent of them challenge you, that would be 900,000 challenge invitations!”

Luo Feng nodded.

“But you must be careful, don't accept battles lightly,” Thousand Rain King immediately cautioned solemnly. “In Glory World battles, all inheritors use the same divine body, all with 100,000 times the power of a Sector Lord! Appearance can be customized, body size can be customized, but divine body strength is all the same, and weapons must also be chosen within Glory World, all very normal weapons... So, in terms of external conditions, all inheritors are equal.”

“Your external supreme treasures, treasures, and special abilities gained from fortuitous encounters, all disappear.”

“Furthermore, during battle, you can only use fusion laws,” Thousand Rain King continued. “In the combat world of Glory World, if you use other laws, they are ineffective; only fusion laws can generate power.”

Luo Feng listened carefully.

“For example, Bug-Chasing King is a unique lifeform in the universe, but in the combat world of Glory World, he doesn't have that heaven-defying divine body, nor his terrifying innate talent secret techniques, nor his supreme treasures, etc... He becomes ordinary. Back then, he was only considered mid-to-upper tier among triple inheritors. When he became a quadruple inheritor, he was even ranked mid-to-lower tier,” Thousand Rain King explained.

“Right,” Chaman King also frowned. “Moreover, a Sector Lord's consciousness is inherently much weaker than an Undying's, so you will be at a great disadvantage.”

“Daohe King,” Lishuo King also quickly added, “the foreign race powerhouses are all peerless geniuses from various races of the universe. In terms of secret techniques, many have self-created peak techniques, and some have even created ultimate techniques! In terms of law comprehension, among triple inheritors, there are probably some close to perfection. In terms of divine body amplification methods, which of these geniuses doesn't have some amplification method? Their willpower and consciousness are all top-tier.”

Luo Feng gasped. Ultimate techniques?

His ability to self-create peak techniques had already earned praise from Chaos City Lord. In this place, which gathered over a hundred million peerless geniuses from various races of the universe, Luo Feng wasn't surprised that many could self-create peak techniques. But to have a few who had even created ultimate techniques! That truly shocked Luo Feng. Of course, the ultimate techniques created were only the first few forms, but they were still terrifying.

“The Ancestral God Sect gathers peerless geniuses from countless races of the universe. Their races are different, their talents are different, and their life essences are all different. Some are heaven-defying in terms of divine body, some have heaven-defying innate talent secret techniques. It's not strange for a few freaks to create 'ultimate techniques',” Luo Feng thought to himself. He had forgotten... he was the freak in the eyes of countless foreign races.

“Many challenge invitations mean you can't accept them casually. Once accepted, you must fight. You can only cancel the battle once your Glory Points are all lost,” Chaman King said solemnly. “You must be cautious.”

“Understood,” Luo Feng nodded.

Just then, some noisy sounds came from afar.

“Daohe King, I, Gluttonous Mirror King of the Demon Race, challenge you, do you dare accept!”

“Daohe King, name your stake, haha, you probably only have 3 Glory Points, I'll bet 3 Glory Points with you, do you dare?”

“I highly doubt if you, Daohe King, truly possess such strength. Is your great fame entirely due to various fortuitous encounters, lacking any real power?” All sorts of voices, all speaking in awkward human common language, some high-pitched, some sharp, some low, some like thunder, some hoarse with echoes...

For a moment, foreign races were provoking him from all directions in the open plaza.

Yes, they were provoking him!

Geniuses?

They were all peerless geniuses from their respective races. Especially in a combat world that stripped away all treasures and special abilities, how could they easily submit to a mere Sector Lord?

...

“Do you think that Daohe King will accept the challenge?” asked a tall, thin, graceful powerhouse with nine green leaves on his head.

“Perhaps he'll get hot-headed and foolishly fight once or twice, but after losing, he'll understand the strength of the many foreign race powerhouses. There will definitely be many challenging him this time. Although we three have sent challenges, it's probably not our turn. He only has three Glory Points and will quickly lose them all. Once they're gone, he can't fight anymore.”

The three powerhouses, whose skin was mottled green and black, with green leaves on their heads and skin like tree bark, conversed with each other.

These were plant lifeforms, the 'Fanling race', without gender, all born from Fanling Ancestral Trees.

...

The challenge invitations from peerless geniuses of various races indeed stirred Luo Feng's fighting spirit, but he still retained his rationality and dared not underestimate these foreign race geniuses. These were not the mediocre powerhouses from the Outer Territory Battlefield; many among them had self-created peak techniques, not to mention those who had created ultimate techniques.

“Still climbing,” Luo Feng glanced at the number of challenge invitations on the open Black Book; it had already exceeded 100,000.

“Chaman King,” Luo Feng suddenly said.

“Daohe,” Chaman King looked at him.

“I have an idea,” Luo Feng said. “Give me your Virtual Universe ID. I'll leave Glory World later and then contact you in the Virtual Universe. How about we spar there?”

“Ah, good,” Chaman King's eyes lit up.

“Smart,” Lishuo King also smiled. “Yes, the Virtual Universe. Let's spar in the Virtual Universe first, Daohe King, so you can figure out your own strength and roughly where you stand on the entire triple inheritor ranking. Then you can selectively choose opponents. Count me in for this; Chaman King and I are both considered mid-to-upper tier triple inheritors. Sparring with us will make it easy for you to gauge your position.”

“I'll join too,” Thousand Rain King quickly added. “I'm from the Hong Alliance, and I also have a Virtual Universe ID.”

“Haha, then thank you three,” Luo Feng quickly said.

Receiving so many challenge invitations, Luo Feng was itching to fight. How could he easily give up? The next time he received so many challenge invitations, he didn't know when that would be.

...

After getting the Virtual Universe IDs of Lishuo King, Thousand Rain King, and Chaman King, Luo Feng's consciousness left Glory World and quickly connected to the Virtual Universe.

In a training ground in Hong Alliance City within the Virtual Universe.

The training ground was a vast, continuous mountain range. Luo Feng stood on one peak, while on three distant peaks stood three figures—Thousand Rain King, Lishuo King, and Chaman King.

“Daohe, don't lose too badly,” Chaman King and the other two inheritors' eyes burned with fighting spirit. They three, long, long ago, were as dazzling as Seven Swords King and Dreamy Blaze King. They had been dormant for too long, but in terms of strength, they would only be stronger!
