533: Chapter 533 Domain vs. Domain

The battles on the arena stages continued.

Ze flew back to the stands. He had already won nine consecutive matches, almost all of them instant kills; none of his opponents could withstand a single blow from his axe.

At that moment.

Xiao Weiqing's Wristband popped up a window again. It was still Arena 20, marking his final battle of the first round.

His final opponent was quite capable and caused Xiao Weiqing a bit of trouble. Xiao Weiqing was forced to use Mountain Elephant, using sheer force to break through all techniques and defeat him.

Afterward, he calmly returned to the stands to wait for the start of the next round.

"What was that move you just used? It suits me quite well. If you have a Martial Arts Imprint for it, I can exchange a Starry Sky Martial Arts of the same level with you," Ze negotiated.

"I obtained it by chance; there is no Martial Arts Imprint," Xiao Weiqing replied. Mountain Elephant was something he had obtained through a bit of trickery, and the Martial Arts Imprint had long since vanished, so it was impossible to give it to Ze.

"A pity."

Ze felt somewhat regretful.

Ten minutes later.

The last battle on the arenas concluded. With this, the first round of combat came to an end.

After the first round finished.

Each of the 30,000 Star Lords received two Medicinal Pills: one to replenish Source Power and one for healing. Injuries were inevitable in battle, and there were even quite a few who had to withdraw due to severe wounds.

Above the training grounds, the man with the shiny hair appeared once more.

Simultaneously, the results of the first round were released. Only the top 300 were displayed; just like the first trial, if your name wasn't in the top 300, it meant the subsequent trials had nothing to do with you.

Therefore, the second round of arena matches was the final opportunity.

In the first round, only 30 people had a perfect winning record.

When the host began the re-introductions and saw Xiao Weiqing's name on the list, he was clearly stunned for a moment, though he quickly adjusted.

"Everyone, next we will have a thirty-minute break. The second round of arena matches will begin shortly!"

...

Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his name barely making it at 200th place.

"Were the Star Lords of previous years also this strong?"

Ji Yu was losing his confidence.

Yisha said, "Probably not. Grandfather said my strength was sufficient to enter the Middle Three Heavens, which is why I came. Now it seems things aren't so optimistic. In the next round, if we still go 8 wins and 2 losses, entering the Fourth Heaven will likely be difficult."

"Hmph, in the first round I was afraid of getting hurt, but in the second round, I won't hold back anymore."

Ji Yu nodded, secretly making up his mind to go all out in the second round.

In fact, many people shared this thought. In the last two matches of the first round, if there was a large power gap, they would give up for fear that even if they fought desperately, they would still lose. If an injury affected the next round, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Time passed quickly, and the thirty minutes were soon up.

"Everyone... the second round of arena matches... be~gin~!!!"

"Damn it, such bad luck?"

Ji Yu cursed. In the second round of arena matches, he was once again the first to go up.

In the second round, everyone exerted their full effort, knowing this was the last chance.

"@￥!"

Ji Yu looked at his frenzied opponent across from him and cursed in his native tongue.

"Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder!"

Ji Yu let out a great roar. The colors of the wind and clouds changed on the arena. In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as a massive blade conjured from lightning slashed down from the sky.

Boom~~

The arena's defense mechanism activated, blocking this strike.

When a contestant cannot withstand an attack and is in mortal danger, the arena's defense mechanism activates. Once activated, it signifies the end of the battle.

Without a doubt.

Ji Yu won.

"Whew."

Ji Yu let out a light breath and flew back from the arena.

"A decent Starry Sky Ultimate Technique."

Xiao Weiqing praised. To be able to exert such power under the pressure of the Fourth Heaven was already very strong.

Of course, by comparison, it was still quite inferior to the move he had learned.

Yisha also gave a thumbs up. "Impressive, you just defeated a Star Lord with 9 wins."

"Really?"

Ji Yu said with pleasant surprise. Defeating an opponent was good, but defeating a direct competitor was even better.

Ze said softly, "It's true. That person originally had 9 wins and 1 loss, ranking within the top 100. Now you both have 9 wins and 2 losses, ranking around 150th."

"It's my turn."

Yisha stood up and flew toward the arena.

"Good luck."

Ji Yu said.

Xiao Weiqing and Ze also spoke softly, cheering for Yisha. This girl's strength was not as weak as she appeared.

Time flowed on.

The rankings on the virtual screen shifted every moment, except for the top 20, which remained rock solid.

"Look, the one ranked seventh lost."

Ji Yu exclaimed.

"That Isaiah who comprehended a Domain actually lost? Who did he run into?" Xiao Weiqing had memorized the top-ranked individuals because they were bound to encounter them in the second round.

In the first round, the top 30 were all undefeated because they hadn't faced each other. Obviously, they would meet in the second round. Among the top 30, only 13 remained undefeated. With two matches left, the number of undefeated people would clearly decrease further.

In the end, there would likely be fewer than ten.

"Givens, the one with the special Physique. He currently has 19 consecutive wins," Ze said solemnly.

"Do you know what kind of special Physique it is?"

"I don't know. He arrived two months earlier than us. Someone once fought him, but he didn't reveal his special Physique. It's been the same for his 19 consecutive matches; no one has forced out his full strength."

"I expect only that fellow with the Second-Layer Domain can make him go all out."

"That will definitely be a Peak showdown. However, we probably won't see the two of them fight in the round-robin matches," Ze said softly. His calm tone carried a thick Battle Intent; clearly, he longed to fight those two.

Xiao Weiqing silently noted those two names. He had a premonition that to enter the Sixth Heaven Mountain, he would eventually clash with them.

Ding.

Xiao Weiqing glanced at the message, stood up, and flew toward Arena 11.

"Xiao Weiqing, good luck! Keep that winning streak going!" Yisha said.

Ji Yu shook his head. "It's hard. The last two matches are clearly battles between those undefeated Star Lords. None of the opponents will be easy to deal with."

Ze nodded slightly. In his 19th match, he had also fought his opponent for a long time before barely managing to win.

Arena 11.

Xiao Weiqing frowned slightly as he looked at the young man opposite him.

Leibo. Currently ranked sixth with 19 consecutive wins. He possessed a Domain of the Earth element, suspected to be related to gravity.

"Xiao Weiqing?"

Leibo asked.

Xiao Weiqing nodded.

"I've seen your data. If you only know Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques, then you'd best admit defeat. You are not my match."

"If you have comprehended a Domain, then let's stop once the point is made. Even with 18 wins, one can enter the next stage of the trial. There's no need to get injured; the real battle is in the Ascension Battle."

"What do you say?"

Leibo spoke very sincerely. He was already certain of entering the next stage and didn't care much about ranking or maintaining a perfect record.

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Fair enough."

Leibo raised an eyebrow. Xiao Weiqing hadn't admitted defeat, which meant he had comprehended a Domain. Interesting. "Come then."

ten thousand calamities appeared in Xiao Weiqing's hand.

Leibo, however, was empty-handed.

Boom~~

The two moved simultaneously, charging toward each other.

A second later.

When the two were less than three hundred meters apart.

A world of gold appeared on the left, while a world of earthy yellow appeared on the right.

The two Domains collided, creating a silent impact.
