"Brother, don't I know you?" Lei Shen laughed. "Do you remember the Great Nirvana period? We were both young then, facing crisis after crisis, seemingly hopeless situations, but you always managed to make the impossible possible!" "Don't flatter me," Hong quickly said. "Unleash yourself, Brother! Let them see the combat techniques of us Earthlings!" Lei Shen urged, and Luo Feng also looked at Hong with anticipation. Hong glanced at Lei Shen, then turned to Luo Feng. "I can only give it my all," Hong said with a slight smile. ... The three from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire passed the preliminaries, but in the arena free-for-all, Nabini was eliminated! This arena free-for-all was broadcast, and billions of people across the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield watched the battle. Countless people angrily smashed wine bottles, and many cursed loudly in frustration. "That guy from the Puluo Starfield was too insidious, he actually sneak-attacked Nabini!" "That bastard!" "Nabini lost so unfairly!" "He should have made it into the top ten thousand." "In today's arena battle, our Black Dragon Mountain Empire still has 'Hong.' Hong will definitely win, he'll definitely make it into the top ten thousand of the Ganwu Universe Nation!" "Brother, Hong's preliminary ranking was at the very bottom. It'll be hard for him to survive in the arena! I think... Luo Feng has a better chance." "Luo Feng will definitely pass! As for Hong, he can pass too! Maybe 'Hong' deliberately held back his strength in the preliminaries." ... In the Virtual Universe, Martial Arena No. 10389. About three hours after watching Nabini's arena free-for-all, the 161st group's arena battle was about to begin in Martial Arena No. 10389. Cheers echoed throughout the arena, and a beautiful commentator was introducing the simple profiles of the hundred geniuses in this battle. "Number 93, Hong, from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. His preliminary ranking was 982nd in the 72nd world zone." It was the same beautiful commentator. "Hong!" "Hong!" "Hong!" In one section of the audience, millions of spectators from the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield shouted loudly, as if declaring—the genius 'Hong' belonged to their Black Dragon Mountain Empire! However, Luo Feng and Lei Shen, among the cheering crowd, frowned deeply. "Big trouble," Lei Shen whispered. "I didn't expect even that wild man to be here." "Mm." Luo Feng also held his breath, waiting, worried for his Big Brother. Everyone who made it into the arena battles was extraordinary, especially since this group, where Big Brother was, even had the 'wild man' who had killed their Second Brother. Soon— Amidst the countdown, the Martial Arena rumbled, and a hundred absolute elites appeared in the arena. "Big Brother," Luo Feng spotted Hong at once. ... Inside the Martial Arena. Hong, holding a silver spear, cautiously scanned his surroundings. The combat space for this free-for-all was a thirty-kilometer radius. During the battle... the combat space would continuously shrink, forcing those who flew fast to be unable to escape. In about fifteen minutes, the thirty-kilometer radius combat space would shrink to a mere one-meter diameter! Therefore... an arena free-for-all would last a maximum of fifteen minutes. "Among these hundred people, the strongest should be the wild man." As Hong scanned the other ninety-nine people, some information he had reviewed quickly flashed through his mind. "There are three others who are also very strong." "First, join the free-for-all, fight with the weaker ones, and temporarily preserve my life." "Then, I'll fight with all I have." Hong quickly recalled the information. He knew very well that if he tried to escape far away at the beginning... he would definitely become a 'target' for some extremely powerful geniuses. It was better to rush into the crowd from the start. Hong was quite confident in his ability to survive in a free-for-all. "Battle, begin!" A deep, majestic voice echoed in the minds of everyone in the Martial Arena. The thirty-kilometer radius combat space began to slowly shrink. In just fifteen minutes, it would shrink to a one-meter diameter. "Boom!" "Boom!" Violent air currents erupted, and the hundred genius experts in the Martial Arena quickly began to charge and engage in battle! "Take this blade!" The burly young man with messy hair roared, taking a barefoot step that strangely propelled him a hundred meters forward. His fierce blade struck directly at a spiritual force user. The spiritual force user seemed not to have expected such speed, and in his astonishment, tried to dodge and control his psychic weapon to block. "Clang!" The short blade struck down! Irresistible! Like a mountain pressing down! The psychic weapon was directly sent flying, and then the short blade struck the spiritual force user's head, splitting it directly in two. "Haha... haha..." The burly man laughed, taking large barefoot strides. Each step covered a great distance, and his instant acceleration was much faster than many spiritual force users' flight. "Surround him!" "Everyone, let's team up and kill him first!" someone shouted. "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Two psychic weapons shot over. "Clang!" "Clang!" With a casual swing of his short blade around his body, he easily blocked the two psychic weapons and even sent them flying back. "Surround me?" The burly young man's movements were ghostly. He moved through the chaotic crowd, making it impossible for the dozen or so opponents who wanted to surround him to coordinate an attack. Instead, the burly young man quickly dealt with half of them. Wherever this wild man went... it was a slaughter. Although these hundred people were all peerless geniuses, no one could contend with this wild man. ... In this free-for-all, the most dazzling was undoubtedly the wild man. However, besides the wild man, there was also a woman who performed very powerfully. She was a fierce woman in armor! One could only tell from her figure... that she was a curvaceous beauty. But her killing intent, the ferocity in her eyes, and her clean and decisive kills made it impossible to associate her with being a woman! ... "Hiss, hiss~~~" Holding a silver spear, Hong engaged in a free-for-all among a group of genius experts. One after another, geniuses fell dead. But Hong, strangely, remained alive! "Roar!" The spear was like lightning! It swiftly ambushed from behind, directly striking the head of a genius expert. After killing one person, 'Hong's' expression remained unchanged. He was still in the chaotic crowd, his spear dancing. It seemed ordinary, but even many psychic weapons couldn't break through his defense. Time flowed, and the death toll accumulated: 60, 61, 62... As the number of participants decreased, the free-for-all became less crowded. "Hmm?" The fierce female warrior immediately fixed her gaze on 'Hong.' In the universe, many used spears as weapons! However, those who used spears usually chose ones with extreme hardness. But the spear Hong used was chosen for its flexibility. When he wielded it, it was like a large snake, incredibly elusive. "Interesting," the fierce female warrior said, holding two curved blades, and directly pounced on Hong. "Not good." Hong's expression changed. While fighting, he had already determined through secret observation that this fierce female warrior was definitely among the top three in this group. Only the wild man was slightly stronger than her. He hadn't expected her to pounce on him. However—since the opponent had already attacked and he couldn't dodge, he could only meet the challenge! "Roar!" The spear, spinning like a loach in water, was incredibly fast and agile, directly thrusting towards the pouncing female warrior! "Interesting, interesting." The female warrior's eyes gleamed with excitement. Green currents swirled around her body, wrapping around her two curved blades. She wielded her curved blades, and they struck the edge of the spearhead. An invisible, strange rotational force transferred to the spear. "Hmm?" Hong's expression changed. He immediately retracted his spear sharply, then roared and raised his spear high, as if chopping with an axe, and slammed it fiercely towards the female warrior. "Thump!" The female warrior transformed into a surging current of water. One of her curved blades merely touched the spear, deflecting the powerful impact, and then the female warrior furiously circled Hong, attacking relentlessly. For a moment, Hong felt as if he was caught in a whirlpool, unable to escape. "This female warrior has comprehended some of the origin laws of water. Big trouble," Hong thought anxiously. Regarding metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, ancient Huaxia culture placed great importance on the five elements. Although Hong walked the path of the 'light domain,' he understood the female warrior's power very well... understanding was one thing, but being able to defeat her was another. "If she is like water, then I shall become an unyielding rock!" Hong, with no other option, gritted his teeth. Immediately, the surrounding light distorted, and his entire being suddenly became dazzling. The spear's speed immediately increased by a notch. When the spear was wielded, it was like a turtle shell, leaving no opening for attack. "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" Every strike from the female warrior, imbued with the origin laws of water, was incredibly heavy and surging, making Hong feel an irresistible sense of collapse. "Without stepping into the threshold of laws, it's ultimately useless," Hong instantly understood this truth. ... "Hong!" "Hong!" Among the billion spectators at the Martial Arena, many from the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield were filled with anticipation. However, even more people were watching through broadcasts. In the Virtual Universe, on the Floating Island above Black Dragon Mountain Island, the minimum requirement to reside on the Floating Island was 'Universe-level.' Among them was a seemingly simple manor that occupied a vast area. In a reception hall of the manor. A man in a dark red robe sat to one side. There was a lightning mark on his forehead. This person... was one of the top experts among the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Sector Lords—Jiang Tianchen! Beside Jiang Tianchen was an old man with white hair, who looked benevolent. "This little guy in black, is he from our Black Dragon Mountain Empire?" The old man said with interest. "From what I see, his light domain is only at the sixth tier. But he truly is a combat genius... wielding a very flexible spear, he's managed to utilize his light domain to such an extent. He's comparable to those young ones with eighth-tier domains." An eighth-tier domain isn't necessarily stronger than a seventh-tier domain. It also depends on how it's utilized. It's the same principle. Perhaps one has comprehended some laws, but how those law comprehensions are applied in battle also determines combat power! For example, Luo Feng's strength is completely different when using the Sky-Shuttle compared to using the Yan Shen weapon. This is because through the Yan Shen weapon, he can fully unleash the laws he has comprehended. "Yes, Military Lord, he is from our Empire," Jiang Tianchen respectfully replied. "Oh," the old man smiled. Military Lord... If this title were heard by other Sector Lords of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they would be stunned. In the Three Axe Mountain organization, the title for Sector Lords was uniformly 'General.' And the Three Axe Mountain organization had three founders; only those three founders were qualified to be called 'Military Lord.'
