549: Chapter 549 Morey

About half an hour later.

Messy footsteps came from the stairs.

Eleven powerful Star Lords ascended the arena, both men and women.

Xiao Weiqing frowned when he saw one of them.

Ze asked, "What's wrong? Do you know one of them?"

Xiao Weiqing shook his head and said, "I don't know them, but I looked up some information last night."

"Let's hear it."

Xiao Weiqing said, "There are five people worth noting. Among them, three have comprehended a Domain, another is Ailar, and the last one is that man with disheveled hair."

"When I was checking the data last night, the System showed he was on a mission. I don't know why he returned and was selected as our opponent."

"Neither Ailar nor this person has a Domain, yet their rankings surpass those three. They must possess extraordinary strength and methods."

After speaking.

Xiao Weiqing also gave Ze a meaningful look, because Ze also lacked a Domain and a special Physique, yet had a perfect win record in the arena cycle. It couldn't be explained by luck alone.

Ze scanned the 11 people opposite them and said indifferently, "They are not my opponents, nor are they yours."

Xiao Weiqing fell into deep thought. Why was Ze so certain?

Could it be that he has some unknown ability?

On the other side.

Ailar was also very surprised to see the man with disheveled hair. "Morei, aren't you out on a mission?"

The man with disheveled hair laughed, "It went smoothly, so I came back early. I happened to run into them drawing lots, so I joined in the fun. I didn't expect to be picked."

Ailar shook her head helplessly. "Sigh, I hope those who have a chance to enter the Sixth Heaven don't run into you."

Morei laughed loudly, "Then I can only say sorry. I gained something outside this time and my strength has improved. Now you are no longer my opponent."

In the Fifth Heaven, Morei and Ailar's strength was actually about the same. The two had fought privately several times with mutual wins and losses, but due to certain aspects, Morei was rated slightly higher than Ailar, which was why his ranking was higher.

"Oh, so confident?"

Ailar understood Morei and knew he wasn't the type to brag. If Morei said his strength had improved, it really had.

"Those people will just have to fend for themselves," Ailar sighed inwardly.

"Everyone is here, let's begin."

The Undying Realm powerhouse in the shadows spoke.

"Yes, Lord Dekar," Ailar said respectfully.

Ailar said, "Then let's begin."

"Look at your virtual interfaces. There are 12 numbers in total, and we have the same. Whoever gets number 1 starts the fight."

"The winner will have a chance to ascend to the Sixth Heaven. As for why it's only a chance, I assume you all know that there are only five spots in the Sixth Heaven. If more than six of you win the Ascension Battle, there will be an additional match, with the format to be determined."

"Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded, having no objections.

Xiao Weiqing opened his virtual interface. A shining number 3 appeared, meaning he would participate in the Ascension Battle in the third match. He just didn't know who his opponent was; the other side should have received their numbers too.

Then.

Next, among the old members, the young man in white who received the number 1 walked to the center of the arena. "Who is the first?"

Ze extended his leg and took steady steps toward the center of the arena.

Ze was fighting in the first match.

A giant axe appeared in Ze's hand. With every step he took, his Aura climbed a notch, making people shudder.

The young man in white obviously noticed Ze's change; his originally relaxed expression turned grave.

When he saw Ze step out, he had breathed a slight sigh of relief, because he hadn't encountered those two monsters, nor any newcomers who knew a Domain. He thought this battle shouldn't be a problem.

Facts proved he was wrong, horribly wrong. This Ze before him actually gave him a feeling of being invincible.

"Begin!"

Ailar gave the order.

The young man in white moved first; if he didn't act now, he was afraid he wouldn't have the courage to strike.

Boom~

Thick Source Power erupted. In less than two seconds, the young man in white crossed three kilometers and arrived before Ze.

A large black blade appeared in his hand, carrying a terrifying might as it descended.

Facing such an attack, Ze remained expressionless.

He swung his giant axe violently, and the entire space trembled due to the pressure.

Rumble!!

One axe strike.

The young man in white's attack was halted.

Before the young man in white could react, the next axe strike had arrived.

Another axe strike.

The large blade in the young man in white's hand flew from his grip.

And another axe strike.

The young man in white flew backward, falling outside the competition area.

In fact, Ze had already held back on the third strike, otherwise the young man in white might have been split in two.

Silence.

The arena was deathly silent.

From the moment Ze stepped out to the end of the battle, it took less than half a minute. Ze had swung his axe only three times to defeat an old member ranked in the top 50 of the Fifth Heaven.

Crisp and clean.

Morei helped the young man in white up, his eyes grave. He whispered, "Top-tier Starry Sky Martial Arts. The power of the second strike was double that of the first."

"I wonder how many strikes he can unleash."

The young man in white wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, still fearful. "It was too terrifying. It felt like facing a huge mountain—no, a planet—impossible to shake."

"If he hadn't withdrawn most of his power on the third strike, I would be dead."

Ailar said to the young man in white, "Go to the side and rest."

"Who is second?"

A short-haired woman stepped forward. "It's me."

"Go, show the newcomers what you're made of."

Ailar applied some pressure. In previous years, five spots were usually enough, and there were even years when the five spots for the Sixth Heaven were not filled.

Who knew that this year's newcomers were truly terrifying? Just those with Domains numbered eight. Ailar was truly afraid that too many people would pass the Ascension Battle, causing the old members to lose Face. Even if they all went to the Sixth Heaven together, they would be mocked.

"Don't worry."

The short-haired woman walked onto the arena.

The contestant fighting for the newcomers was number 10, with a record of 19 wins and the ability to use a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique; his strength was definitely not low.

However.

In this battle, the old member taught contestant number 10 a lesson. In just one minute, he defeated him. From the start of the battle, he was suppressed, and contestant number 10 had absolutely no power to fight back.

The short-haired woman returned to Ailar's side. "I didn't lose Face, did I?"

"Not bad," Ailar nodded with satisfaction, then said loudly, "Prepare for the third match!"

Morei laughed loudly and leaped into the arena.

"Who will come and fight me?"
