Acquaintance

The Genius Legion. This was the genius concentration camp of the entire world. The dazzling geniuses from the seven safe zones would start to shine here and step onto the path of the strong.

"We're here!" With a loud shout, Wang Xu walked down the steel train.

In the distance, a towering city wall stood. A substantial green beehive energy barrier enveloped the entire city.

On the city wall, countless laser cannons were guarding the dark entrance. Wang Xu recognized that these laser cannons were all SS-grade energy weapons. The amount of cosmic energy consumed to activate them once was an astronomical figure.

People walked into the city one after another. They were all geniuses from the various safe zones. They were dressed in luxurious clothes and had powerful auras. Even from afar, one could feel the heatwave on their faces.

Wang Xu walked among them. There was a tall and burly blond-haired man, a beautiful and innocent girl, a thin and short ugly young man, a noble young master, and a gloomy and cold scarred man. The geniuses looked different and had different figures. They were all born differently, but they had one thing in common—they had powerful strength!

Wang Xu deeply felt his weakness after he sensed those auras stronger than his.

These were all true geniuses. They had displayed extraordinary talent since they were young, had a powerful background, and enjoyed the advantages brought about by their families. There were also rising stars from ordinary people. Like Wang Xu, they were dressed simply, but their eyes were filled with determination.

"Bang!"

As they walked, Wang Xu heard the sound of fighting coming from afar. He turned around and saw that the place with the surging crowd had opened up a spacious area. Two people, one black and one white, were fighting fiercely. Their figures were so fast that even Wang Xu could only see a faint shadow.

Level Five, they were all level five.

In just a moment, the man in white was defeated. He was stepped on by the man in black and his neck was broken. He was no longer breathing.

The guards at the city gate looked at him coldly and had no intention of stopping him. They looked coldly at the man in white lying on the ground with blood flowing freely. The man in black walked towards the city gate smugly.

Cold-blooded and heartless!

The geniuses who walked past saw a corpse lying on the ground so they walked around it, but there was no unnatural expression on their faces. They had seen too many dead people, and it was not rare no matter where they were.

Wang Xu looked silently at the white-clothed figure lying on the ground with lifeless eyes. There was still unwillingness in his eyes, a desire for life. Unfortunately, he could no longer reverse it.

If he died, there would be nothing left!

Wang Xu deeply felt his inferiority. In the crowd of geniuses, he was the lowest in existence.

Strength!

If he wanted to survive, protect himself, and protect the person he loved the most, he had to have strength!

Wang Xu understood the iron-like rules at this moment.

Wang Xu's personal information was displayed after walking past the city gate and passing through a green scanning door. The city guard took a look and confirmed that there were no mistakes before letting him in.

Behind the towering city wall was a modern building. There were hover cars, sky gardens, skyscrapers, and a technology gymnasium. It was incompatible with the mud-covered city wall.

In fact, Wang Xu did not know that although the towering city wall looked like it was made of soil, it was made of "Black Rock Hard Earth" that was harder than diamonds. Every cubic meter was worth more than a million yuan. It was even more expensive than a laser cannon.

Following the flow of people, they walked forward. The modern business street was prosperous. It was the peak season for merchants every year at this time. The geniuses were usually busy cultivating, so how could they have time to enjoy this colorful world?

"We're here." Wang Xu stopped.

In the distance, there were many modern buildings. The various school buildings were like modern universities, and the greenery was quite good. If he had not heard of the deeds of the Genius Legion before, Wang Xu would have thought that he had come to the International Culture University.

"Seventh safe zone, Wang Xu, a level four Elite Warrior. Alright, your dormitory is on the sixth floor. This is your optical computing chip. You can learn all the information about the legion from here. Go." The guard standing at the door took the notice from Wang Xu and looked at it before letting Wang Xu pass.

The Genius Legion was extremely famous, so it was naturally impossible for it to have a group dormitory like a university. Wang Xu opened the room. The modern living room was complete. The green forest in the distance could be seen through the transparent French window. The warm sunlight shone in, and the warm feeling made one feel like they had returned home.

Wang Xu took a deep breath. He knew that his life in the legion was about to start. He did not come here to enjoy himself. He came here to cultivate, train, kill insect beasts, and work hard to improve himself!

"Sunset Legion, ranked 862nd. Recruiting new members who are motivated and know how to work together. Hurry up!"

"The Black Wind Legion is ranked 723rd. Anyone who joins the legion will obtain an A-grade weapon!"

"The Vanguard Legion is ranked 812th. We will unconditionally recruit any student. Our legion has strong potential. New students, quickly join!"

"…"

The moment he reached the ground floor, rows of stalls shouted in an orderly manner. The strength of the legions was uneven. Most of them were ranked after 700 and were considered low-level legions. They recruited new people in the name of free weapons or guidance from the strong. Many new people were tempted by such small favors.

Wang Xu walked in the crowd. Many people saw that he was at the late-stage of level four and wanted to invite him to join the battle, but he rejected them.

After walking for a while, Wang Xu finally got some quiet. He casually glanced around and realized that there were only legions ranked from 500 to 700 in this area. These legions were quite strong and disdained to be like the low-level legions who were shouting, quietly waiting for people to come.

Wang Xu continued walking. Soon, he realized that there was a long line in the crowd.

"May I ask what's going on?" Wang Xu asked casually.

"I can tell at a glance that you're new. This is the recruitment of the legions within the top 500. You have to pass the assessment," the person said.

The legions within the top 500 were considered middle-tier legions. They were much stronger, so those who wanted to join had to pass the assessment.

Wang Xu passed the long line and continued walking. The recruitment team was huge and occupied every intersection. The closer he got to the main school building, the higher the ranking of the legions.

Soon, Wang Xu arrived at the recruitment area for the top hundred.

Unlike the legions in front, the people here were all students above level five. Many of them had the names of their legions engraved on their shoulders and chests. Clearly, they were going to jump ship.

The legions within the top hundred were considered the elites among the elites. They were extremely powerful. Every battle group had a level six student. Moreover, the legions that were ranked higher had level seven and even level eight students holding the fort!

The so-called Genius Legion referred to the top hundred legions. Only they could bear the word "genius".

"I'm sorry, those below level five are not allowed to enter." Just as he was about to go in to take a look, a guard suddenly stopped Wang Xu.

Wang Xu frowned. Were the legions in the top hundred so big-name? They were not allowed to enter without reaching level five?

However, on second thought, he felt relieved. The top hundred legions were famous and powerful, so they could naturally attract countless people to apply. If everyone could enter, wouldn't this place be filled to the brim?

Feeling a little unhappy, Wang Xu turned around and walked around the legions that were ranked just outside 100.

These legions were not bad. Some of them even had level six students holding the fort. However, they were not as good as the legions in the top hundred in terms of contribution points, so they were squeezed out of the top hundred.

"Eh?" After looking around casually for a moment, Wang Xu suddenly realized that the burly young man dozing off at one of the stalls looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

The announcement in front of the burly young man was written "Crimson Flame Legion".

Compared to the other legions that were as busy as a marketplace, no one cared about the Crimson Flame Legion.

The reason was very simple. Wang Xu only took a look and understood why they couldn't recruit anyone.

"Requirements for joining the team: 1. Level 5 and above, 2. Level 4 of "Basic Body", 3. Cultivate any supreme ancient martial arts and reach perfection."

The three conditions were each more demanding than the other.

He could understand the first requirement because the Crimson Flame Legion was ranked 153rd and had the ability to do so. However, most people might not be able to reach the fourth level of the "Basic Body". There were very few people like Wang Xu, let alone people who cultivate supreme ancient martial arts, unless there was a large faction backing them up and they had an innate advantage. But how could a genius who could cultivate supreme ancient martial arts join a legion outside the top hundred?

Therefore, the burly young man could not recruit anyone at all and could only fall asleep.

"Bro." Wang Xu walked over and shouted.

The burly young man was woken up. When he saw that the person who came was only at the late-stage of level four, his expression immediately turned ugly. He knocked on the table and said impatiently, "Can't you read? We only accept students above level five!"

"I'm not here to apply. I just want to ask if you know a person called 'Twin Blades'?" Wang Xu remembered why he found the burly young man familiar. Twin Blades and this young man has a seventy percent similarity.

When the burly young man heard the word 'Twin Blades', his sleepiness dissipated. "You know my brother?"

"So you're the 'Strong King' that Brother Twin Blades mentioned. Nice to meet you." Wang Xu smiled. Twin Blades had once told him that he had a naughty brother. He had a bad temper but was very strong, so he always liked to call himself 'Strong King' when he was young. When he grew up, he realized that this name was too vulgar, so he changed it to another name. However, Twin Blades still teased him with this name.

"Brother even told you this. It looks like you really know my brother." The burly young man's eyes lit up. "I haven't gone out for three years. Brother only comes to see me occasionally. How is he now?"

"Brother Twin Blades is in good health. You don't have to worry." Wang Xu naturally sat down and said a few words when he met someone he knew.

The two of them chatted happily. Wang Xu also learned a lot of information about the Genius Legion from the burly young man.

"How about this? Why don't you join our Crimson Flame Legion? Anyway, we're short of people. What do you think?" The burly young man directly solicited.

Wang Xu smiled. It was fate that they met here, so he simply agreed. "Sure."
