534: Chapter 534 19 Victories

"I knew it, I knew it. That fellow Xiao Weiqing really has comprehended a Domain."

Ji Yu wore a look that said 'I told you so' as he stared fixedly at Ring 11, his tone tinged with a hint of envy.

"I truly didn't expect Xiao Weiqing to hide it so deeply. His Divine Soul and divine body are also top-tier. This time, the Blue Star Civilization is going to become famous," Yisha murmured.

Ze stood with his arms crossed, his eyes flickering as the Battle Intent radiating from him grew more intense.

On the ring.

Leibo laughed heartily and said, "Good, finally a decent opponent has arrived."

At the boundary of the Domain, Leibo strode forward. Booming sounds accompanied his every move as the air exploded, unable to withstand the clash of the two forces.

"Slash!"

Xiao Weiqing swung his blade, sending billowing golden flames surging toward Leibo.

"Trivial tricks!"

Leibo paid no heed to the terrifying golden flames and threw a punch.

Rumble!~~

The blade light was shattered by the single punch, and tons of fist force surged directly toward Xiao Weiqing.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Weiqing dodged to the side. He felt that after his attack entered Leibo's Domain, it was like slashing through cotton—weightless and easily neutralized by Leibo.

"Your use of the Domain is too shallow."

Leibo frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Xiao Weiqing's strength.

"The first level of Domain is 'Self-Solidification,' which infinitely magnifies one's own advantages. Then again, you come from the Incubation Ground, so it's understandable that you don't know this."

After saying that,

Leibo took a step forward and threw another punch.

"Open!"

With a punch, a vacuum zone was blasted through the golden Domain. Xiao Weiqing immediately held his blade horizontally to defend. The fist's edge struck ten thousand calamities, and an unrivaled, massive force acted upon the blade's body.

The force was so great that ten thousand calamities almost flew out of Xiao Weiqing's hand.

Bang!~

Xiao Weiqing was sent flying hundreds of meters by the punch, his internal organs trembling.

"Let's stop here. How about we call it my win? I know you must have more trump cards, and I have them too."

"We are destined to be people who charge into the Sixth Heaven. Why don't we fight with everything we've got then?"

In the collision of Domains, Leibo was clearly a notch above Xiao Weiqing, but he wasn't aggressive. Instead, he spoke in a negotiating tone. In his view, there was no need to determine a winner right now.

In Xiao Weiqing's view, Leibo was powerful and very rational.

"Fine."

Xiao Weiqing agreed with Leibo's reasoning. Even if he lost the next match, he could still enter the next round of assessments and enter the Middle Three Heavens, so there was no need for a life-and-death struggle at this moment.

Having said that,

Xiao Weiqing was the first to leave Ring 11. Leibo won this battle, becoming the sixth contestant with a perfect winning streak.

Back on the spectator stands.

Ji Yu immediately asked, "Why did you stop fighting?"

"Yeah, you both have Domains. Did you just give up like that?" Yisha also asked in confusion.

Xiao Weiqing shook his head slightly. "There was no need. Regarding the Domain itself, he is indeed stronger than me. We reached a mutual understanding before the fight really escalated; there was no need for a desperate battle. Winning or losing this doesn't affect my entry into the next stage of the assessment."

"Well, I still wanted to witness a battle of Domains," Yisha said regretfully.

Ji Yu curled his lip. "How boring. If I had your strength, I'd definitely show those people what I'm made of."

"Ji Yu, temporary success or failure doesn't decide everything. Our goal is the Middle Three Heavens."

Ze nodded in agreement. "Exactly."

"Fine, you guys are strong, so you're right."

While the few of them were talking,

The second round of the ring matches reached its conclusion.

Xiao Weiqing's 20th opponent was also a Star Lord with 19 wins, but they did not possess a Domain.

This person's thoughts seemed to align with Leibo's. Seeing Xiao Weiqing deploy his Domain and finding their own attacks fruitless after a few attempts, they simply gave up.

There was no real difference between 19 wins and 18 wins.

As the final opponent left the ring,

Xiao Weiqing's 20 battles were all over. With 19 wins and 1 loss, he ranked 20th, successfully entering the next stage of the assessment and the Middle Three Heavens.

Ze had 20 straight wins, becoming one of the 9 Star Lords with a perfect record.

Notably, Ze was one of only two among the 9 Star Lords who did not have a Domain; the other was the person with the special Physique.

Ji Yu ranked 196th with a record of 17 wins and 3 losses, while Yisha also had 17 wins and 3 losses, but she ranked 270th.

It was unclear why there was such a large gap in rankings despite having the same record.

"I don't accept this! I also have 17 wins and 3 losses, so why am I ranked 307th?"

"Exactly, me too! I'm ranked 400th. Where am I inferior to those people?"

With someone taking the lead, others immediately joined the protest. Since there were hundreds of people with 17 wins, no one wanted to be eliminated after getting this far.

"Shut up!" the burly man barked. "Do you want to die?"

Invisible killing intent radiated outward. Suddenly, the Star Lords who had been speaking were drenched in sweat, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Weiqing was startled; the killing intent the burly man emitted was real, not just a bluff.

He was certain that if anyone continued to make a scene, the burly man would truly take action. Whether he would kill them, Xiao Weiqing didn't know, but those protesting Star Lords would definitely not have an easy time.

"Stupid."

"There are hundreds of Dominator Realm experts and several Undying Realm powerhouses watching the ring matches. Who is strong and who is weak can be seen at a glance. To actually question the Holy Land..." Ze spoke with mockery.

Yisha nodded beside him, clearly also aware of the internal details.

"So that's how it is," Ji Yu nodded. "I thought I was being given special treatment, but in the end, it still comes down to strength."

"Of course. Otherwise, with the same record of 17 wins, why would you be able to enter the top 200? Could it be because of your slicked-back hair?" Yisha teased.

Xiao Weiqing laughed, and even the consistently cold Ze turned up the corners of his mouth. With the ring matches over, the tense mood they had all been carrying eased significantly.

"This hairstyle really doesn't suit me," Ji Yu also laughed self-deprecatingly, reaching out to ruffle his hair back to its original state.

"Sigh, I originally thought I could steadily enter the Fifth Heaven this year, but now it looks difficult. None of these people are weak. Nearly half of the Star Lords with 18 wins know top-tier Starry Sky Martial Arts, and there are quite a few who know Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques."

"Listen to yourself. Don't you know one too?" Yisha said.

Ji Yu sighed slightly. "My Starry Sky Ultimate Technique is mediocre; it's only slightly stronger than Starry Sky Martial Arts."

Ze said, "'Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder' was created by Lord Lance Barlow, an Undying Realm powerhouse of the Holy Land, back when he was in the Dominator Realm. Not many outsiders know it, let alone someone from the Incubation Ground."

"Does someone from your civilization belong to the Holy Land?"

With just a few words, Ze had guessed most of Ji Yu's situation.

Ji Yu fell silent for a long moment before saying, "It was something from two hundred years ago. My Old Ancestor had the fortune to enter the First Heaven of the Holy Land. He toiled for a hundred years and, before he died, used most of his savings to exchange for a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique to bring back to Bullen Planet."

Yisha comforted him, "His sacrifice has paid off. You have already entered the Middle Three Heavens, and your civilization will also rise rapidly."

Xiao Weiqing sighed inwardly. In Blue Star, there was a saying that it was hard for a humble household to produce a noble son; this saying applied just as well in the Universe.

"Assemble!"

A familiar voice interrupted their conversation.

The burly man looked at the remaining crowd and urged, "Don't dawdle, hurry up!"
