Chapter 884

"Next, who's next?"

Seeing this scene, the Astral Lord's eyes were cold, without the slightest sympathy, and she spoke to the people in front of her again.

As soon as these words came out, the people who were in shock were pulled back to reality. Many people's expressions changed, and they were a little hesitant.

The Astral Lord sneered and ignored them. Instead, she ordered another Astral Lord beside her, "Release another one!"

The Astral Lord responded. Although they were all Astral Lords, there was an obvious difference in status. She flew into the great continent, raised her hand, and put away the ferocious Evil Winged Skeleton Demon Dragon. Then, she took out a small bottle, and another Evil Winged Skeleton Demon Dragon flew out. Like the previous one, it was also an adult, and its body seemed to be faintly stronger!

Seeing this scene, everyone's expression changed.

Previously, they were still hesitating, hoping that they would not be chosen in advance, so that others could wear down the strength of the evil beast first. But in the current situation, how could there be a loophole to exploit?

Although this dragon beast was rare, it was a piece of cake to find tens of thousands of them in the entire Silvy Galaxy. It was impossible for them to exhaust all of them.

Soon, seven or eight people in the crowd took the initiative to withdraw. They believed that compared to the Jade Sea Empress, there was not much difference.

Seeing this scene, the Holy King's expression was ugly, and he also chose to withdraw. He did not expect that the Jade Sea Empress, who had been competing with him and had been evenly matched, would end up like this. She had great hopes of becoming a Astral Lord in the future, an existence that could oversee a small galaxy.

Seeing this old opponent die prematurely, he felt a little upset, and also realized the cruelty of this world.

The Astral Lords outside could definitely save the Jade Sea Empress if they wanted to.

The Ascendant of Gods could save the Jade Sea Empress with a single thought, but the Astral Lords had to watch a genius die right in front of their eyes.

This also made him realize that these so-called geniuses were treasures in the eyes of the academy's teachers, but in the vast universe, perhaps they were not much different from ants in the eyes of those top-notch figures.

They were ants with pretty patterns.

On the other hand, Holy Princess Thousand Leaves, who had pinned all of her hopes on the Shengying Oriole Academy, made up her mind and withdrew. Apart from the dragon, she was more afraid of Su Ping, the Dragon Emperor, and the successor of the God of Swords.

This was merely a test, and she still had to compete with those geniuses. She had no hope.

If that was the case, she might as well conserve her strength and try to win second place.

At the very least, she could still make a name for herself if she could win third place.

Soon, only six people were left on the stage: Su Ping, Glaos, the Dragon Emperor, Linghu Jian, Su Jiner, and Haiyalim.

"Who's first?" the Master of Stars asked again.

Linghu Jian stepped forward and answered coldly, "Me!"

The Master of Stars looked at him and nodded.

Soon, the seal was opened. Linghu Jian carried the wooden sword on his back and flew in by himself.

Everyone's gazes were fixed on him. This legendary disciple of a Conferred God had an extremely high chance of winning the battle of geniuses.

Soon, the battle broke out.

This time, Linghu Jian didn't use the wooden sword. He summoned his battle pets and merged with them. His three battle pets worked together to distract, enhance, and assist him. Then, he began to fight the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon.

Linghu Jian unsheathed his sword, which was glowing with a silver light. One look and anyone could tell that it was a powerful artifact. The sword was imbued with several laws that were close to perfection. Every swing of the sword could tear apart the void and reach the third space easily. He could even cut off the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon's breath with a simple move.

The man and the dragon fought crazily. Gradually, they reached the fifth space and began to fight.

It was broadcasted live to the entire galaxy. Countless people were shocked and silent.

That was the Ascendant of Gods' disciple who had been hiding his strength.

Those people who had been defeated by Linghu Jian had been unwilling to accept this. They had felt humiliated, but now they realized that Linghu Jian hadn't drawn his sword against them. That was showing them mercy.

They wouldn't have been able to resist a single attack if he had drawn his sword; they would've been more than dead!

"The young disciple of the North Sea God of Sword is quite talented."

Hai Tuo and the others were sitting outside the palace in the sky, observing the battle.

They nodded as they watched the young man fight the dragon. A Fate State warrior who had reached such a high level and grasped such a profound sword intent was already a rare genius.

Shadow's eyes flashed as he said, "I've found a good disciple. He has grasped the Nether Kun Sword Intent of the North Sea God of Sword when he's only at the Fate State. He'll be unbeatable among his peers when he reaches the Star State!"

The Illusion Hunter glanced at him and asked, "Are you tempted?"

"Humph." The Shadow snorted and said, "Not yet. Only those with the potential to become a god can tempt me. Otherwise, no matter how many Star Lords there are, they're just ants."

The battle on the continent had already ended.

In the deep fifth space, Linghu Jian unleashed a series of sharp swordsmanship, displaying the power of rule to the fullest. His swordsmanship was divine, and he finally killed the evil dragon.

The other contestants changed their expressions after that battle. Some were scared, and some admired him.

"My turn!"

The Dragon Emperor stepped out next. This time, it was another Evil Winged Skeleton Dragon that had just been released.

The Dragon Emperor unleashed his full strength. His battle pets were all dragons. Ten of them were flying in the sky; it was quite a spectacular sight. Each of them was a rare Star State beast; all of them had Class A aptitudes. Three of the main dragons were at the peak of A +. Although they were only in the early phase of the Star State, they were comparable to wild beasts in the advanced phase!

Accompanied by the ten dragons, the Dragon Emperor fought fiercely. His attacks were fierce and domineering, but he had great control over them. He had a deep understanding of both wildness and finesse.

Very soon, the Dragon Emperor finally defeated the Evil Winged Skeleton Dragon after paying the price of three dragons and sustaining some injuries himself.

Following the Dragon Emperor's victory, the entire Dragon Tomb Academy cheered and countless people heaved a sigh of relief.

After the Dragon Emperor's victory, Glaios joined the battle as well. Half of his battle pets were dragons and his battle pet formation was not weak either. Combined with the secret skill he had mastered and the battle pet formation, he was able to exert a great deal of power.

However, he had underestimated the Evil Winged Skeleton Dragon. He wouldn't have known until he had fought the Dragon Emperor. Only when he fought the Dragon Emperor in person did he realize how terrifying the Evil Winged Skeleton Dragon's power of laws was. The Evil Winged Skeleton Dragon was forced to retreat.

In the end, after activating his battle constitution and exposing his secret skills, he managed to win.

However, he had lost half of his battle pets and he was seriously injured.

Judging by his current state, he wouldn't be able to compete with Linghu Jian and the Dragon Emperor if he didn't have the help of the top-level medicines. Even so, his performance had earned him the respect of everyone present. He was definitely capable of making it to the Top 10.

After leaving the continent, Glaios was a bit upset. He had realized the gap between him and the Dragon Emperor. He had been disdainful of the guy from the Dragon Tomb Academy who was good at using dragons. However, he had been slapped in the face.

"Are you up for it?"

Right then, he heard a clear and melodious voice. Su Ping turned around and saw that the girl named Su Jiner was talking to him.

This woman was dressed in an ancient style. She seemed to be from the ancient generation of the Cerulean Planet, and her heritage had not been broken.

"I'm fine with anything," Su Jiner replied.

"I'll go first, then." Su Jiner giggled and said to the Star Lord.

Soon, Su Jiner entered the arena. The girl's performance in the previous matches was mediocre. She had only accumulated ten identification cards, which was barely a passing grade.

She hadn't lost a single one of the matches, but every time she won, she had to go through a lot of trouble.

No one would have thought that she would have the courage to stay until this moment. Also, after seeing the Evil Winged Skeleton Dragon's performance, she still had the courage to go.

No one had any impression of her on the popular list or the champion list.

"Where did this girl come from? She's pretty but what's wrong with her IQ?"

"What are you talking about? How can a pretty girl have a normal IQ?"

"What are you talking about? Even a girl can become an Ascendant State warrior. Watch your mouth!"

"Ignore them. They're invincible here."

"That girl seems to have a card up her sleeve. She's definitely not an ordinary girl since she was able to accumulate ten victories and pass the preliminary round. She must have been hiding her strength."

While everyone was discussing, the Star Lord saw Su Jiner. The Star Lord nodded and let her enter the arena.

As soon as Su Jiner entered the arena, the Evil Winged Skeleton Dragon noticed her and a fierce battle broke out.

However, Su Jiner merely summoned a battle pet and merged with it to increase her strength. Then, she charged at the dragon with her bare hands.

"She's so fast!"

As soon as she made her move, Su Jiner displayed an extremely powerful body movement technique. Like a ghost, she floated close to the dragon in an instant and slammed her palm into the Fifth Space. She extinguished the dragon flames on its body and left a powerful palm print on its body, causing the mountainous dragon body to pause for a moment.

The dragon roared in pain and became even more ferocious.

Su Jiner, on the other hand, danced around the dragon like a nimble butterfly and attacked from time to time.

Soon, four or five minutes later, the dragon fell to the ground. Its body was covered with palm marks. Its bones and internal organs had all been shattered and turned into blood and bones.

"What a powerful law. What a strange attack!"

Linghu Jian and the others, who were outside, saw what was happening. They were shocked. The woman's palms contained extremely powerful rules. She was able to block the protection of the rules on the dragon's scales and hit the dragon's body directly. Furthermore, she did not waste any of her strength with each attack. It was just right, as if she was taking a stroll in the park.

"Huh?"

Su Ping was surprised as well. He gazed at the girl.

Su Jiner's way of fighting was as if she could see through everything. She could accurately find every flaw that the dragon exposed and then launch a fatal attack. Her eyesight and control were quite sophisticated. Not even a swordsman like Linghu Jian could display such pure swordsmanship.

"There are indeed many geniuses in the vast universe." Su Ping's mind was weighed down. Silvy had such a genius. He wondered what kind of weirdos the top geniuses in the entire universe would be like.

That being said, he was still confident that he could win the championship, although it might be a difficult task.

Su Jiner came out. She clapped her hands and put on a relaxed smile. She winked at Su Ping and then returned to her seat.

Su Ping noticed that the woman seemed to be treating him differently. He was confused but he didn't think too much about it. He was about to fight when the woman named Hyyalim spoke up and chose to fight.

The woman had once won the first place in the preliminary battle. She barely made a move during the first round, but her opponents all fell. Her attacks were strange.

Some people speculated that the woman's law was most likely a charm or a spiritual one.

That kind of law wasn't rare, but it was extremely rare to find someone as extreme as that woman.

A fierce battle broke out as the woman stepped out.

She summoned her eight battle pets to deal with the dragon. Her attacks were steady and unhurried. Her battle pets cooperated with each other's skills seamlessly. With the help of the tower, her battle pets were able to inflict great damage on the dragon. Her battle pets alone were able to inflict heavy damage on the dragon.

Every time the dragon was about to break through her formation, she would force it back and then continue to kite the dragon.

More than an hour later, the dragon was finally killed.

After this battle, everyone realized that apart from the fact that this woman had displayed an extremely strong Dao of Pet Formations, there seemed to be nothing amazing about her other aspects.

She was at the top, but not as amazing as the Dragon Emperor and Linghu Jian.

"Is it a spirit attack? She has a strong will and she can suppress the dragon with her will alone …" Su Ping squinted his eyes. During the long battle, he had vaguely noticed that the woman's spirit was strong and her willpower was terrifying. Her willpower had merged with some kind of Force Field, which had greatly interfered with the dragon.

At this moment, he turned his head and saw that Su Jiner, who was beside him, also had a look of interest on her face. On the other side, Linghu Jian's face was exceptionally solemn.

"It's your turn."

The Master of Stars said to Su Ping, who was the last person on the team.

Su Ping nodded.

He flew into the continent.

"Is that the kid who made it to the 100th level of the Illusion Stele?"

"I hope I can see something new."

Outside the palace in the sky, Hai Tuo and the others also looked over with interest.

Su Jin 'er and Hyyalim's display earlier had aroused the interest of many of them, and they'd aroused the thought of taking them as disciples.

Shadow's eyes flickered. He had decided to take Haiyalim as his disciple after the competition. He was delighted by the spiritual willpower and Force Field that Haiyalim had demonstrated. Haiyalim was his favorite talent.

From the pressure of that will, he could feel an extremely brutal power.

While the woman was a girl, she must have gone through hellish training to be able to develop such a horrifying killing intent.

While they were watching.

Su Ping had entered the continent and caught the attention of the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon.

This was a Demonic Winged Hyena Demon Dragon that had just been released. Just like the previous ones, it flew around the vast continent as soon as it was released, enjoying the taste of freedom that it had not experienced in a long time.

"Come on out."

Su Ping called out to the Inferno Dragon and the white-scaled Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon.

Little White noticed the evil dragon on its opposite side the moment it flew out. It roared in alarm, as if to demonstrate its threat.

Su Ping didn't say anything; he simply merged with Little White and left the Inferno Dragon to fight.

He hadn't intended to summon Little White, but since they were both dragons, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let it have a taste.
