I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

“It’s finally starting!”
Liu Yu walked along the streets of Shuiyue New City, looking out at the rows of buildings and the beautiful plants that adorned the environment, making it vibrant with life.
“The environment on Qingmu Star isn’t bad. Should I buy a house here someday?”
“No, with my current commercial value, I can already afford a house on Qingmu Star.”
He came from Baoyue Star, and ever since the list of the top one hundred geniuses from the Genius Battle was announced, with his name among them, various businesses and brands from Baoyue Star came knocking, offering him one sky-high endorsement contract after another.
From the moment he was selected, he was the most dazzling young man on the planet, a super genius in the hearts of the people, bearing the hopes of everyone on the planet, determined to bring glory to Baoyue Star.
Countless spotlights shone on him, and the Planet Governor, the President (of the Mainland), and various other important figures met with him, making him feel spirited and content.
However, the only thing that displeased him was that professional agencies rated him as a three-star genius.
Although it wasn’t the lowest one-star rating, he felt that three stars was definitely an underestimation of his abilities.
“Five-star geniuses are indeed beyond my reach. But can’t I even be rated as a four-star?
Trash agencies, let me slap you hard!”
Liu Yu walked along the street, and in various corners of the street and overhead, numerous miniature cameras were pointed at him, displaying the footage on the live broadcast split screen.
Once the Genius Battle officially began, the live broadcast would be divided into one hundred channels, and every netizen could freely switch between split screens to watch the live broadcasts of different geniuses.
At this moment, over forty percent of the people on Baoyue Star flooded into Liu Yu’s live broadcast room.
The comments on the bullet screen kept coming: “Liu Yu, go! You are the pride of our Baoyue Star!”
“Liu Yu is my neighbor’s kid. I even held him when he was little.”
“Kill the other geniuses and bring glory to our Baoyue Star!”
Liu Yu also knew that at this moment, hundreds of millions of his fellow townsfolk were watching his live broadcast, so he paid great attention to his appearance and demeanor.
His expression was stern, he held a long sword, and he carried the demeanor of a master genius.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared at the end of the street, dressed in black, with a Black Crow mask on his face. He glanced at Liu Yu, then turned and walked away.
“I finally encountered an examiner,” Liu Yu muttered to himself, a confident smile spreading across his face. Familiar with the competition system, he immediately recognized that the person just now was a C-level examiner, ranking in the lower-middle tier among all examiners.
With his strength, he was fully capable ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) of soloing a C-level examiner.
This way, he could not only display his strength to the people of his planet but also obtain examiner-guarded items.
Whether it was a spirit artifact, a pill, or a secret manual, he would gladly accept any of them.
“Don’t go!”
A pair of azure wings rose from Liu Yu’s back, and with a roaring wind, he quickly flew up, chasing after the dark figure.
On Baoyue Star, the official live broadcast invited two local sixth-tier masters to connect to the live channel and analyze the situation.
“Dear viewers, many of you are still unclear about the competition system, so I will quickly explain it now.”
“This Genius Battle competition has a total of 180 examiners, as well as an unknown number of spirit plant and spirit beast evaluators. Leaving the latter aside for now, the examiners are divided into three levels: A-level, B-level, and C-level. A-level is the highest, with only 4 people. There are 12 B-level examiners, dressed in Zodiac costumes. The rest are all C-level examiners, and they generally wear beast masks.”
“And the examiner who just appeared was wearing a Black Crow mask, which means he is a C-level examiner.”
“In my opinion, with Liu Yu’s strength as a fifth-tier, two-star, Silver-grade bloodline, he has a very high chance of eliminating his opponent. Let’s wait and see!”
On the bullet screen, the entire screen was filled with support for Liu Yu.
“Lord Yu, go! Kill that Black Crow!”
“A tiny Black Crow is easy to handle! Liu Yu, go!”
“Eliminate the Black Crow, and I’ll buy the underwear brand you endorse!”
“Lord Yu, let’s use the Black Crow as a sacrifice for your sword and get a beautiful head start!!!”
Liu Yu flew across the street and immediately saw the Black Crow around the corner.
“It’s your bad luck to meet me. Your career as an examiner can end right here!”
A cold light flashed in Liu Yu’s eyes. The azure wings on his back vibrated, creating a sonic boom cloud, and he dove down with the force of thunder. The azure light coiling around his sword spine actually condensed into a roaring wind dragon phantom.
The moment he spun and swung his sword, the airflow within a hundred meters instantly twisted. The ground vegetation was uprooted and rolled back, intertwining with the howling gale to form a ten-zhang diameter azure wind drill. Wherever it passed, even the air was torn with a piercing shriek.
“Clear Wind Sword—Wind Dragon Drill!”
With a furious shout, the drill, carrying a dragon’s roar, slammed into the ground.
The terrifying wind pressure pulverized the street’s bluestones. Wind blades carrying shattered rocks poured down like a torrential rain. Buildings along the street collapsed with a crash, and the roar of breaking beams intertwined with the howling wind, forming an apocalyptic symphony.
As the dust settled, the cracked ground spread out like a spiderweb, extending a hundred-meter fissure. The residual azure sword energy continued to cleave through the void, grinding the ruins into countless fragments.
“What a cool move!”
“Lord Yu is invincible!”
“That Black Crow couldn’t have been pulverized, could he? So brutal, too brutal!”
On the bullet screen, a massive amount of praise and mockery floated by.
Just then, one of the sixth-tier commentators spoke up:
“Viewers, the selection of examiners is also very strict. I believe Liu Yu has the ability to eliminate his opponent, but it will be very difficult to finish him in one move.”
“Let’s calm down for a moment and continue watching.”
As the dust cleared, Liu Yu stood in the middle of the deep pit, but there was no one beside him; the Black Crow was nowhere to be seen.
“He dodged it!” Liu Yu’s heart jolted. He hadn’t expected the Black Crow’s speed to be so fast, capable of evading a wind-element sword skill renowned for its speed.
Just then, there was a movement behind him. Liu Yu quickly turned around and saw the Black Crow standing nearly a hundred meters away, calmly looking at him.
“I didn’t expect the Black Crow to have some tricks up his sleeve; he runs pretty fast.”
“It’s okay, that was just a test. Next will be a complete Crushing Game .”
“Lord Yu, go! Kill this Black Crow.”
The people of Baoyue Star still had great confidence in Liu Yu. That was just a warm-up, allowing the Black Crow to escape. Next, as long as Liu Yu got serious, a small C-level examiner would certainly be no match for Baoyue Star’s number one genius.
Liu Yu looked at the Black Crow, and a azure wind swirled around his sword blade. In a battle between masters, one strike could reveal the opponent’s level.
The Black Crow’s dodge was light and agile, clearly indicating he was a speed-agile spiritual energy martial artist. His fighting style was similar to his own. To defeat such an opponent, he had to be faster and fiercer.
Thinking this, Liu Yu said nothing, stepping on the azure wind like an azure lightning bolt, charging towards the Black Crow.
Beneath the Black Crow mask, Qin Tian’s lips curved slightly, and deep, dark energy condensed in his fists.
“Perfect. I’ll use you to refine my new boxing technique.”
