Chapter 242: Number One in the Trial World!
After killing the man in black armor, Su Yu did not stop at all and continued to streak forward rapidly.
The strength he was currently displaying was around the threshold of the Fifth Rank, close to the early stage of the Fifth Rank.
Generally speaking, as long as one's attributes reached 20 stars and they mastered a True Intent, they would possess the strength of the Fifth Rank threshold.
Although Su Yu's attributes were still only 17 stars, the True Intent level he displayed had already reached Level 5.
However, since he had not mastered any True Intent skills, he could only barely be considered to have strength close to the early stage of the Fifth Rank.
If his attributes could reach 20 stars, even without mastering True Intent skills, he could still reach the strength of the early stage of the Fifth Rank.
"According to what the City Lord of Tianyuan said, after the preliminary rounds end, rewards will be distributed to all trial-takers who enter the main tournament based on their rankings on the overall leaderboard."
"It's a pity that the overall leaderboard rankings cannot be seen here; I can only collect as many trial points as possible and strive for a higher ranking on the overall leaderboard," Su Yu thought to himself.
Right now, he could only see the leaderboard of Trial World No. 996 and had no idea about the situation in other Trial Worlds.
Wanting to secure first place on the overall leaderboard also required luck as a very important factor.
The preliminary rounds would only last for seven days, and the Trial World was unimaginably vast. Even if his strength could crush everyone, if his luck was too poor and he didn't encounter many powerful opponents, there was nothing he could do.
What's more, there were a full thousand Trial Worlds.
His strength could crush Trial World No. 996, but someone else's strength might also be able to crush an entire Trial World. It could be said that the gap between everyone was not large.
His only advantage was that his True Intent of Thunderwas perfected. Under conditions of extreme burst, his movement speed was extremely fast, and his efficiency in searching for other Professionals would also be higher.
However, under extreme burst conditions, his soul powerwould also consume a massive amount.
Activating True Intent required consuming both mana and soul power simultaneously. For him, the consumption of mana could be directly ignored.
After all, as long as he attacked, he could recover his HP. He possessed the Blood Gods Body, and his mana and health points had long since merged into one.
What truly restricted him from using True Intent was still soul power.
The stronger the power of the activated True Intent, the more soul power it would consume.
Therefore, the fact that Su Yu was only displaying around Level 5 True Intent of Thunder wasn't purely to show weakness to the enemy; it was more to save soul power.
Right now, his soul level was only Level 5. Under the full-out burst of the perfected True Intent of Thunder, he could sustain it for at most an hour or two.
If he only displayed around Level 5 True Intent of Thunder, he could almost achieve a balance of soul power.
In other words, the consumed soul power could be quickly replenished.
Of course, this was mainly because Su Yu's True Intent of Thunder was already perfected, so his consumption would also be a bit less than others.
If a Professional's True Intent level was only Level 5, then when they activated Level 5 True Intent of Thunder, the consumption would be at least ten times more than Su Yu's.
It was completely impossible to achieve a balance of soul power.
Suddenly, a fierce beast resembling a small mountain appeared in Su Yu's line of sight.
"As expected of the Civilization Arena, even a random fierce beast actually has the strength close to the Fifth Rank threshold," Su Yu felt some emotion in his heart.
This meant that trial-takers who could safely leave the Civilization Arena had to at least possess the strength of the Fifth Rank threshold.
Without the strength of the Fifth Rank threshold, wanting to gather 10 fierce beast points was simply daydreaming.
Blood Gods Eye!
A flash of crimson crossed the depths of Su Yu's eyes, and the next instant, this fierce beast resembling a small mountain collapsed with a boom.
[Congratulations on killing a fierce beast and obtaining 1 fierce beast point.]
"Continue!"
Su Yu didn't even look at the fierce beast and directly swept past above its corpse.
Killing fierce beasts in the Trial World, aside from obtaining fierce beast points, didn't provide any other benefits whatsoever.
It was completely not worth wasting time paying attention to.
To him, time was money, and he had to go all out to strive for first place on the overall leaderboard.
As long as his luck wasn't too bad, he felt that his hope of securing first place on the overall leaderboard was still quite high.
If the Trial World wasn't incomparably vast, he wouldn't even need luck and could completely sweep away everything with absolute strength.
...
Time passed, and more than a day slipped by in a flash.
In a desolate mountain range, Su Yu was resting in a temporarily excavated cave.
After more than a day, although the consumption of soul power wasn't large, fighting all the way inevitably caused some mental fatigue.
Resting was also for the sake of better battles ahead.
"After this entire day, I didn't expect to run into fewer than two hundred trial-takers." Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
The Trial World was simply too vast. Apart from being able to run into a trial-taker every now and then at the very beginning, the frequency of encountering trial-takers later on rapidly decreased.
At the beginning, there were hundreds of millions of trial-takers in each Trial World.
If each person killed an average of one hundred trial-takers, then only a few million people would remain in the Trial World.
But clearly, the average number of trial-takers killed per person currently was far more than that.
Su Yu glanced at the leaderboard; currently, there were fewer than five hundred thousand people left on it.
After more than a day, nearly 99.8% of the people had been eliminated.
This was equivalent to the surviving trial-takers each directly or indirectly taking down hundreds of people.
Although Su Yu had only directly taken down a little over a hundred people, his trial points had already reached 29,881.
The further back it went, the stronger the trial-takers encountered would be, and the more trial points they carried on them.
Every time he killed or defeated someone, it could allow Su Yu to obtain at least several hundred trial points.
"Plus the 100 fierce beast points, my total points are now approaching thirty thousand. I wonder what kind of position I can rank on the overall leaderboard," Su Yuthought to himself.
Currently, he was the well-deserved number one of Trial World No. 996, leading the second place by nearly ten thousand points.
It was just unknown what position he could rank on the overall leaderboard.
However, Su Yu conservatively estimated that he should at least be able to enter the top five hundred of the overall leaderboard.
After all, what he mastered was the True Intent of Thunder, and speed was inherently his advantage in this regard.
Aside from True Intents that were similarly adept at speed like the True Intent of Wind and True Intent of Light, it was almost hard for other True Intents to compare with the True Intent of Thunder in terms of speed.
"However, there's no need to rush for now; I'll go all out to sweep through in the last two days." A sharp glint flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
The further it went, the more concentrated the trial points would become.
By then, as long as he could encounter a few more big fish, wouldn't a surge in trial points be an absolute breeze?
"Alright, having rested for ten minutes, it's about enough."
Su Yu stood up. After resting simply for a short while, the mental fatigue at this moment had already been swept away completely.
Swish!
The Thunder Wings behind Su Yu's back flapped, turning into a streak of lightning that left the cave and streaked forward rapidly.
Chapter 243: Muyang!
In Trial World No. 996, amidst a continuous range of towering snow-capped mountains.
"Yu Huang? Blue Star Civilization? A Third-turn Professional from an unknown, weak civilization actually managed to step on my head?" Muyang furrowed his brow as he looked at the rankings.
He truly couldn't figure out how he had fallen behind Yu Huang by nearly ten thousand points.
You must know that he was a peerless genius of the new generation of Lieyang Civilization; how could he possibly fall so far behind a Third-turn Professional from a weak civilization?
Lieyang Palace was one of the three major super factions of the Beiyun Star Domain, and Lieyang Civilization was the ruler of Lieyang Palace.
The fact that he could become a peerless genius of the new generation of Lieyang Civilization was enough to demonstrate his strength.
If he had been surpassed by people from Lixing Civilizationor Youlan Civilization, he could still accept it.
After all, Lixing Civilization and Youlan Civilization were the rulers of Lixing Hall and Youlan Palace respectively, while Lixing Hall and Youlan Palace were the other two super factions of the Beiyun Star Domain.
Being surpassed by a peerless genius from the same three major super factions at least made it seem less embarrassing.
But now, he had actually been surpassed by a Third-turn Professional from an unknown, weak civilization. How could he possibly accept this?
"I hope you aren't discovered by my people, otherwise I will let you know what the gap in strength truly is." A cold glint flashed through Muyang's eyes.
A Third-turn Professional from an unknown, weak civilization—no matter how strong they were, just how strong could they possibly get?
Right now, it was simply that they had slightly better luck and killed a few more trialists, which was why they had surpassed him.
If he had slightly better luck and killed a few more trialists with high trial points, he could quickly overtake them in return.
After all, any trialist who could survive until now had at least several hundred trial points on them, and it was completely normal for those with a bit more to have thousands of trial points.
Although he had been surpassed by Yu Huang, the gap wasn't as large as imagined; it was primarily an issue of luck.
Now, through a communication secret technique, he had notified the trialists of all affiliated civilizations of Lieyang Civilization to search for Yu Huang's whereabouts.
As long as he could find Yu Huang, he would let Yu Huangknow what the gap in strength meant.
He was someone who had comprehended the True Intent of Fire to Grade 7, 85%, and his overall strength was already close to the intermediate fifth-turn.
Based on the information he had gathered, among all the trialists entering the Civilization Arena from the entire Beiyun Star Domain this time, those who could surpass him numbered no more than a single hand.
Of course, whether it was Lieyang Civilization, Lixing Civilization, or Youlan Civilization, none of them had sent their absolute top batch of Third-turn Professionals into the Civilization Arena.
That absolute top batch of Third-turn Professionals were all undergoing special training at this moment, preparing to enter the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Each civilization could send a maximum of 10 people into the Civilization Arena.
In the eyes of the three major super civilizations, even secondary-top geniuses were enough to sweep through the Civilization Arena and secure the slots to enter the Eternal Ancient Realm.
There was no need for truly top geniuses to come here and waste time.
...
Eternal Realm, Beiyun Star Domain spectator space.
"Hahaha, Yu Huang from the Blue Star Civilization that I bet on actually secured the 98th place on the overall rankings! I've made a huge profit this time."
"Damn it, where on earth did this Yu Huang pop out from? I bet on Muyang entering the top twenty of the overall rankings; nothing weird is going to happen, right?"
"Damn it, Muyang, give me some spine and don't get eliminated by Yu Huang!"
"I checked, and the Blue Star Civilization is actually still in the newcomer protection period? Is Yu Huang's strength even reasonable?"
"What? The Blue Star Civilization is still in the newcomer protection period? Doesn't that mean Yu Huang has awakened for less than half a year? To possess such terrifying strength in less than half a year—just how strong is his talent?"
"It is said that Muyang's True Intent level has already broken through Grade 7, but he has already awakened for a full dozen years."
"I feel that Yu Huang's True Intent might be between Grade 5 and Grade 6. I've carefully reviewed his battle records, and the strongest opponent he encountered only had a True Intent level of Grade 5."
"Then it seems Yu Huang's luck is pretty good. If he isn't targeted by Muyang, entering the main competition should be no problem."
"Damn it, Yu Huang, hang in there! My only expectation for you is to survive and not get eliminated. As long as you aren't eliminated, I can obtain one million Eternal Coins."
"Brother, you better pray hard. As the saying goes, a tree in the forest that stands out will be destroyed by the wind. Yu Huang is simply too high-profile; Muyang will definitely not let him off."
"Go Muyang! Take down Yu Huang, finish him off, and charge into the top twenty of the overall rankings early! Hahaha, according to the odds when I placed my bet, I should be able to make a small profit of tens of thousands of Eternal Coins."
Countless high-tier Professionals discussed animatedly, continuously analyzing the situation within the Trial World.
The text broadcast would record who each trialist encountered, and whom they killed or defeated.
Although they couldn't see the specific combat scenes, they could deduce a lot of critical information based on the information in the text broadcast and the changes in rankings.
...
Within Trial World No. 996.
Su Yu was completely unaware of everything happening in the Eternal Realm, and he didn't even know what the Eternal Realm was.
At this moment, he was wholeheartedly searching for trialists in the Trial World.
As there were fewer and fewer trialists left in the Trial World, many trialists had even stopped moving around and instead directly found a secretive place to hide.
This caused Su Yu's efficiency in searching for trialists to drop by another tier.
Some trialists even hid directly deep inside mountain bodies or deep underground. If they hadn't hidden deeply enough and been scanned by Su Yu's soul power, ordinary people would have been completely unable to discover them.
"It seems my search capability still has some shortcomings," Su Yu thought to himself.
If the target wasn't deliberately hiding, relying on the enhancement of the Blood Gods Eye, he could discover them even dozens of kilometers away.
But if the target deliberately hid, the Blood Gods Eyewouldn't be very useful anymore.
"That's right, now that the seal on the Blood Gods Eye has been completely lifted, I can use the god-grade talent flower to upgrade it."
"I wonder if the Blood Gods Eye will gain clairvoyance or perspective abilities after its level increases," Su Yu thought thoughtfully.
The Blood Gods Eye provided an immense enhancement to his vision; no matter how fast the target's moving speed and body movements were, he could see them with crystal clarity.
His dynamic vision was outrageously strong.
He could even faintly see the flow of mana within the target's body, allowing him to anticipate in advance whether the opponent was about to use a skill.
He felt that if the Blood Gods Eye became even stronger, it would be completely normal to even see targets hiding deep inside mountain bodies or deep underground.
"Huh? There are actually so many people gathered together?" A trace of pleasant surprise suddenly flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
On a plain roughly a dozen kilometers ahead of him, a full hundred-plus trialists had actually gathered.
Ever since he entered the Trial World, this was the first time he had seen so many trialists all at once.
Chapter 244: "You… are Yu Huang?"
Swish!
Su Yu's flight speed suddenly increased by a notch, and endless thunder light flashed in the void, appearing extremely dazzling.
In this vast Trial World, human traces were already rare. For him to fly through the air with such fanfare was no different from a beacon in the darkness.
Over a dozen kilometers away, two factions fiercely battling on the plain almost simultaneously noticed the figure enveloped in thunder light in the void.
"What kind of person is that? How dare he fly in the air?" A trialist under Feng Wanli raised a hand to point at the sky, his eyes full of astonishment.
To be so high-profile in the Trial World, was he afraid he wasn't dying fast enough?
You must know that the vast majority of trialists in the Trial World were extremely cautious, terrified of being discovered by others.
As the saying goes, open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against.
If one was in the open while the enemy was in the dark, wouldn't that constantly place oneself in the most dangerous situation?
Feng Wanli was locked in a fierce battle with Gu Changge. Their blades crossed, and the terrifying fluctuations of energy directly shattered everything around them into pieces, leaving the ground covered in terrifying cracks.
Hearing his subordinate's words, he spared a glance at the sky, a disdainful sneer curling the corners of his mouth: "Another ignorant and suicidal fellow."
Although such a reckless hothead who didn't conceal himself was rare, he had seen them before.
After all, some people thought they had a bit of strength and acted without any scruples, only to realize they were just frogs at the bottom of a well, facing certain death when encountering true experts.
On the other side, Gu Changge was struggling to fend off Feng Wanli's attacks; her strength was a notch weaker than Feng Wanli's.
The overall strength of the trialists under her command was also inferior to those under Feng Wanli.
If nothing unexpected happened, they probably only had the path of conceding defeat left. Although somewhat unwilling, at least they could save their lives.
A flash of green light flickered in Gu Changge's eyes as she looked toward Su Yu.
"Hmm? This aura? This speed?" Gu Changge's pupils contracted slightly.
She activated a skill that could enhance vision and perceptual abilities, allowing her to observe more details.
Vaguely, she could sense that this person's strength was definitely not weak, and was even stronger than both her and Feng Wanli.
"Such an unfamiliar expert, could he be… Yu Huang?" Storms surged in Gu Changge's heart.
As a peerless genius of the new generation of the Qingya Civilization, she had understood relevant information about all the prominent geniuses of the new generation in the Beiyun Star Domain.
Within the Beiyun Star Domain, all civilizations were divided into five tiers in total.
The first tier consisted of super civilizations. There were only three super civilizations, which were the Lieyang Civilization, Lixing Civilization, and Youlan Civilizationrespectively.
The second tier consisted of overlord civilizations. The number of overlord civilizations was much greater; almost every galaxy would have one or two overlord civilizations, and most of them were affiliated civilizations of the three major super civilizations.
The Xuanyuan Civilization where Feng Wanli belonged was an overlord civilization, and it was also an affiliated civilization of the Lieyang Civilization.
Of course, there were also some overlord civilizations that were independent civilizations, not attached to the three major super civilizations. The Qingya Civilization where she belonged was an independent civilization among the overlord civilizations.
The third tier consisted of powerful civilizations. Powerful civilizations were rulers of almost one or more star regions.
The fourth tier consisted of normal civilizations. normalcivilizations were the backbone of a star region.
The fifth tier consisted of weak civilizations. Except for the civilizations of the above four tiers, the rest were all weak civilizations.
However, weak civilizations were also divided into strong and weak ones, among which the weakest were newborn civilizations.
Generally speaking, wanting to cultivate a Third-turn Professional stronger than her required at least a top-tier powerful civilization.
The genius data she mastered almost covered all super civilizations, overlord civilizations, and top-tier powerful civilizations.
Aside from Yu Huang, she had some understanding of the information of everyone else among the top ten ranked geniuses in Trial World No. 996 currently.
Facing this unfamiliar expert before her, she simply couldn't think of any other explanation besides him being Yu Huang.
...
Before long, the thunder light transformed by Su Yu had already arrived near the two factions.
Before he even had time to make a move, someone below had already struck first.
"Hahaha, brothers, I didn't expect there to still be a hothead delivering himself to our door!"
A brawny man with early fifth-turn strength under Feng Wanli laughed towards the sky.
A giant flame hammer condensed in his hand, and the True Intent of Fire surged all over his body, smashing fiercely toward Su Yu.
Immediately following that, several trialists with threshold fifth-turn strength attacked simultaneously, various attacks pouring down toward Su Yu like shooting stars.
They were already the side holding the advantage, so freeing up a few people to deal with Su Yu was as easy as could be.
In their view, trial points picked up for free shouldn't be wasted.
As for whose hands this person's trial points would eventually end up in, it would depend on their respective luck.
"Courting death." Su Yu lowered his head to look at those attacks shooting up into the sky, his expression indifferent, not taking these attacks seriously at all.
Blood Gods Eye!
A trace of blood color flashed across the depths of Su Yu's eyes, and the terrifying True Intent of Thunder poured out along with the Blood Gods Eye.
Streaks of purple thunder suddenly erupted inside their bodies, and a terrifying aura of destruction instantly swept across the surroundings.
Boom!
The thunder exploded, countless thunder lights intertwined, and those trialists who had just attacked Su Yudidn't even have time to utter a scream before being swallowed by the thunder.
Purple electric arcs spread across the ground, emitting bursts of scorched odor.
With just a single move, several trialists with fifth-turn strength were instantly reduced to ashes.
This terrifying scene made the entire battlefield instantly quiet down.
Whether it was Feng Wanli's people or Gu Changge's people, all of them froze in place, looking at this scene in disbelief.
"What?!" Feng Wanli's pupils suddenly contracted, and the offensive momentum in his hand even stagnated for it.
Gu Changge even drew a sharp breath; her guess was indeed correct.
You must know that the brawny man who was instantly killed just now possessed early fifth-turn strength; even she couldn't kill him in such a clean and neat manner.
[Congratulations on killing a trialist, gaining 2,289 trial points.]
[Congratulations on killing a trialist, gaining 855 trial points.]
...
One after another system prompt sounds echoed in Su Yu's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to them.
"Hand over all your trial points, and I can spare your lives," Su Yu said flatly.
The trialists who could survive until now were all not weak in strength. Barring unexpected events, the fierce beast points they collected had long exceeded 10, and they could concede defeat and leave the Trial World at any time.
Since these people didn't attack him, he could indeed spare their lives.
Feng Wanli pulled back the distance from Gu Changge, his expression so gloomy that water could almost drip from it.
He stared at Su Yu in mid-air, saying word by word: "You… are Yu Huang?"
Su Yu did not deny it, merely looking down at him from a condescending height.
"Good, very good!" Feng Wanli laughed out of extreme anger: "You, a Third-turn Professional from a weak civilization, killed so many of my people. Do you know what you are doing?"
"You will bring a devastating disaster to your Blue Star Civilization!"
Feng Wanli suddenly stepped forward, his aura surging wildly, not fearing Su Yu in the slightest.
In his view, although Su Yu's strength was stronger than his, wanting to kill him was absolutely impossible!
Chapter 245: Trial Points Surge!
"Threatening me? Unfortunately, it's useless against me! Do you know that our Blue Star Civilization is still a newborn civilization?" A flash of murderous intent flickered in Su Yu's eyes.
Taiwan Novel Network relieves boredom, ₮ ₩ ₭ ₳ ₦. ₵ Ø ₥ is super reliable.
The City Lord of Tianyuan had long reminded him of this, telling him not to worry about offending people in the Civilization Arena and just to go all out.
In every star sector, there was a special region where the Initial Continent of all newborn civilizations was located.
This special region was protected by the Heavenly Dao, and no one could forcibly break into it.
Wanting to destroy a newborn civilization could only be done through the method of civilization warfare.
Moreover, the opponents in civilization warfare were directly arranged by the Heavenly Dao, and no one could interfere.
That is to say, no one could directly destroy a newborn civilization.
Of course, a newborn civilization could not remain a newborn civilization forever; as time passed, it would either be destroyed or break away from the status of a newborn civilization.
After breaking away from the status of a newborn civilization, the civilization's primitive planet would undergo dimensional ascension, arriving in the Heavens and Myriad Realms to fuse with the Initial Continent.
For the Blue Star Civilization, the primitive planet was Blue Star.
The Heavens and Myriad Realms and Blue Star were not in the same dimension; Blue Star was in a low dimension, while the Heavens and Myriad Realms were in a high dimension.
Only at this time would the Blue Star Civilization truly be exposed to the sight of countless civilizations in the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
However, it was extremely difficult for the Blue Star Civilization to break away from the status of a newborn civilization; just accumulating the civilization warfare points required for promotion would likely take decades or even a century.
Therefore, Su Yu did not need to worry about the safety of the Blue Star Civilization; he only needed to continuously grow stronger outside.
As long as he could display strong enough talent, after entering the Eternal Continent in the future, he could casually join an Eternal Holy Land and thus protect the Blue Star Civilization.
"What? No, impossible! How could a newborn civilization have a Third-turn Professional as strong as you?" Feng Wanli said in disbelief.
Originally, he felt it was outrageous enough that Su Yucame from a weak civilization, but he didn't expect him to come from a newborn civilization.
You must know that newborn civilizations belonged to the very bottom tier even among weak civilizations; how could they possibly have the resources to cultivate such a powerful Third-turn Professional?
Hearing this, Gu Changge also gasped. Yu Huang actually came from a newborn civilization?
This was simply too incredible!
The strongest newborn civilization trial participant in the history of the Civilization Arena only had the strength of the early fifth-turn.
Moreover, the civilization where that person resided was just a step away from breaking away from the status of a newborn civilization, and its civilizational heritage was even close to that of a normal civilization.
"There is nothing impossible. Since you dared to threaten me, then you…" A cold smirk curled the corners of Su Yu's mouth, and the True Intent of Thunder surged all over his body.
"Have you ever heard of Lord Muyang? He is a peerless genius of the Lieyang Civilization, a super civilization in the Beiyun Star Domain!" Feng Wanli said sharply.
"I, Feng Wanli, am Muyang's man. Today, killing my people is tantamount to slapping Muyang in the face!"
"Muyang?" Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's right!" Thinking that Su Yu was scared, Feng Wanlisneered, "Lord Muyang is a peerless genius who has comprehended the True Intent of Fire to nearly Grade 8. His strength is infinitely close to the mid fifth-turn. No matter how strong you are, it's impossible for you to be his opponent."
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Su Yu's mouth. This smile was very faint, but it made Feng Wanli feel inexplicably chilled in his heart.
"Then remember to notify him to come find me." Su Yu said with a calm expression.
The moment his voice fell, the thunder light around his body surged violently, and a terrifying pressure swept over.
More than a dozen consecutive Blood Gods Eyes carrying the True Intent of Thunder with nearly Grade-8 might instantly surged toward Feng Wanli.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Feng Wanli only felt a sudden piercing pain in his mind, and then the power of thunder in his body violently erupted.
"Ah!" Feng Wanli let out a miserable scream. Before he even had time to concede defeat, his body exploded.
Vaguely, he seemed to see his own head fall to the ground with his eyes wide open.
Although Su Yu controlled the might of the True Intent of Thunder and used a full dozen Blood Gods Eyes to kill Feng Wanli,
the speed of the Blood Gods Eyes was extremely fast. To outsiders, it looked as if Su Yu had merely glanced at Feng Wanli, and Feng Wanli was instantly killed.
[Congratulations on killing a trial participant and gaining 21,289 trial points.]
"Not bad, directly harvesting more than 20,000 trial points. As expected of the third-ranked trial participant." Su Yunodded in satisfaction.
"The boss is dead!"
"Quick… quickly concede defeat!"
"What kind of monster is this Yu Huang anyway? How could he be so strong?"
Seeing this scene, the remaining trial participants under Feng Wanli were scared out of their wits and immediately prepared to concede defeat.
[Congratulations on defeating a trial participant and gaining 1,298 trial points.]
[Congratulations on defeating a trial participant and gaining 1,785 trial points.]
…
In an instant, all the remaining trial participants under Feng Wanli conceded defeat and disappeared on the spot. System notification sounds rang out crazily by Su Yu's ears like a flood of messages.
Gu Changge took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart, stepped forward, and cupped her fists, saying, "Thank you, Yu Huang, for stepping in to help."
The trial participants under her command also looked at Su Yu, their eyes full of awe.
Su Yu looked down at Gu Changge from above and said in a calm tone, "No need to thank me."
Just as Gu Changge was about to say something, she heard Su Yu continue, "Hand over all your trial points, and I'll leave you a way out."
Gu Changge's expression instantly froze.
The trial participants under her command also wore bewildered expressions, as if they had heard something incredible.
"Yu Huang… What is the meaning of this…" Gu Changge's face turned ugly. "I thought you came to save us just now…"
"Save you?" Su Yu said indifferently, "I just casually cleared away some people who were getting in the way. What does your life or death have to do with me?"
He swept his gaze calmly across the crowd and said apathetically, "Either actively hand over the trial points, or I'll come take them myself. Choose for yourselves."
Gu Changge gritted her teeth. Thinking of the scene where Su Yu instantly killed Feng Wanli earlier, she sighed and said, "We… concede defeat."
As her voice fell, her figure instantly disappeared on the spot.
[Congratulations on defeating a trial participant and gaining 20,886 trial points.]
Following that, the trial participants under her command also successively conceded defeat and disappeared on the spot, leaving only Su Yu alone in the huge plain at this moment.
[Congratulations on defeating a trial participant and gaining 952 trial points.]
[Congratulations on defeating a trial participant and gaining 1,998 trial points.]
…
Series of system prompt sounds rang in Su Yu's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to them, directly turning into a streak of thunder light that tore through the void and sped forward.
Chapter 246: Reactions from All Sides!
Meanwhile, in the spectator space of the Beiyun Star Domain in the Eternal Realm, the atmosphere instantly exploded.
"Damn it! Why did Yu Huang's rank suddenly surge by a huge margin, and now he has already reached the top twenty of the overall leaderboard?"
"The names of Feng Wanli, who ranked third in Trial World No. 996, and Gu Changge, who ranked fourth, have both disappeared from the leaderboard."
"Quick, quickly flip through the playback records of the text livestream to see what on earth happened."
"Hehe, no need to look it up. I've been paying attention to Yu Huang the entire time. He just killed Feng Wanli, and not long after, Gu Changge also surrendered and left the field."
"Hiss, Feng Wanli was actually killed? He didn't even have a chance to surrender? How could Yu Huang's strength possibly be this strong?"
"Originally, I thought his True Intent level was probably between level five and six. Now it seems to be at least 7th level 50%, and he might even catch up to Muyang."
"No way! I bet my entire net worth on Muyang. With Yu Huang taking so many points, does Muyang still have a chance to enter the top twenty of the overall leaderboard?"
"Hard to say. Maybe Feng Wanli was too careless, which is why he met an untimely death. Muyang's strength should still be stronger than Yu Huang's."
"Even if Muyang's strength is stronger than Yu Huang's, it shouldn't be by much. I think it will be extremely difficult for him to defeat Yu Huang. The number one spot in Trial World No. 996 should be produced between the two of them."
"Hahaha, if I had known earlier, I would have bet on Yu Huang entering the top one hundred of the overall leaderboard. Otherwise, I could have made at least hundreds of millions of Eternal Coins."
"Damn it, your kid is really lucky to be able to bet on such a super dark horse."
"Hehehe, I said it long ago: take a gamble and a bicycle turns into a motorcycle. Who told you guys not to believe me from the beginning?"
"Brother, don't celebrate too early. No matter what, Muyang comes from a super civilization. Who knows if he has trump cards we can't even imagine?"
"Go Muyang! Take down Yu Huang! Don't embarrass the super civilization. If you can't even deal with a genius from a newborn civilization, then you are too much of a trash."
Countless high-tier Professionals were discussing animatedly; some were happy while others were worried.
Although dark horses would appear every time the Civilization Arena opened, they had never seen a super dark horse from a newborn civilization like Su Yu before.
Generally speaking, it was already good enough for a dark horse from a newborn civilization to make it onto the overall leaderboard.
If they could enter the top one hundred thousand of the overall leaderboard, they would be dark horses among dark horses.
But what did they see now? A super dark horse from a newborn civilization had actually entered the top twenty of the overall leaderboard.
Although this was not the final ranking, it was enough to illustrate his terrifying nature.
...
In the independent spectator space belonging to Lieyang Palace.
"What? Where on earth did this Yu Huang pop out from? His strength is actually so formidable." A trace of disbelief flashed through Luo Yan's eyes.
For a trial taker from a newborn civilization to enter the top twenty of the overall leaderboard was an unprecedented first.
Su Yu being able to directly kill Feng Wanli and leave him no time to surrender indicated that Su Yu's strength was at least close to Muyang's level.
That was, strength close to the fifth-transition intermediate stage.
Geniuses who could possess such strength at the third transition were rare even within Lieyang Civilization, belonging to the sub-top tier of geniuses.
As for the absolute top-tier geniuses, they had to possess at least fifth-transition intermediate strength at the third transition, and might even reach a strength infinitely close to the fifth-transition advanced stage.
By what right could a newborn civilization cultivate such a powerful genius?
However, precisely because of this, Su Yu's terrifying nature could be reflected.
If he were to obtain more resources, wouldn't his strength be able to rapidly improve once again, and even reach the level of the absolute top-tier geniuses?
"Recruit him. We must find a way to recruit Yu Huang!" A sharp glint flashed across Luo Yan's eyes.
Although Su Yu killed Feng Wanli, in his view, these were all trivial matters that didn't need to be cared about at all.
In the Civilization Arena, if one's strength was lacking, dying meant dying; no one could be blamed.
What he valued more was the overall situation.
If Lieyang Civilization could recruit Su Yu and nurture him slightly, perhaps another absolute top-tier genius could emerge.
By then, the advantage they occupied in the Eternal Ancient Realm would naturally be even greater.
As for the brawls between children, casualties were inevitable. Even if Muyang were killed by Su Yu, he wouldn't take it to heart.
Only benefits and value were the most important things. As long as Su Yu could bring them greater benefits and value, everything was negotiable.
...
In the independent spectator space belonging to Lixing Hall.
"Good, good, good. This time the Civilization Arenaactually produced such a super dark horse like Yu Huang." A plump woman dressed in purple robes smiled and said.
"His strength is definitely no less than that of the sub-top tier geniuses. Right after the preliminary selection ends, immediately initiate recruitment towards him."
"Yes, Elder Mu." A green-robed woman behind the purple-robed woman said respectfully.
"Go and thoroughly investigate Yu Huang and Blue Star Civilization. By then, strive to offer recruitment terms that he cannot refuse." Elder Mu said in a deep voice.
Regarding recruiting Su Yu, she was determined to win!
The number of absolute top-tier geniuses in this generation of Lixing Hall was not as many as in Lieyang Palace and Youlan Palace.
If they could recruit Su Yu, it would definitely be a great thing for Lixing Hall.
Being able to grow to such a stage in a resource-scarce place like a newborn civilization was enough to show how terrifying Su Yu's talent was.
From the end of the Civilization Arena to the official opening of the Eternal Ancient Realm, there was still about half a month in between.
Perhaps Su Yu could use this half a month to elevate his strength by another notch, directly advancing from a sub-top tier genius to an absolute top-tier genius.
This was of great significance to Lixing Hall.
...
In the independent spectator space belonging to Youlan Palace.
"Next, focus on this Yu Huang." A man wearing blood-red armor said in a low voice.
"If he can defeat Muyang of Lieyang Civilization next, notify me immediately."
"Yes, Elder Chen." Not far away, a member responsible for monitoring Trial World No. 996 said respectfully.
"If you can defeat Muyang of Lieyang Civilization, then no matter how high the price I have to pay, I must recruit you over." Elder Chen muttered to himself.
Although the number of absolute top-tier geniuses in this generation of Youlan Civilization was no less than Lieyang Palace, their overall strength was still a notch weaker.
If they could recruit another absolute top-tier genius, they should be able to completely overwhelm Lieyang Palace.
By then, they would gain an absolute advantage in the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Although it was said that every star domain would send people into the Eternal Ancient Realm, and even the Eternal Holy Land in the Eternal Continent would send people in.
However, just how vast was the area of the Eternal Ancient Realm? There were even countless independent spaces within it, and people entering from different entrances could hardly ever run into each other.
Under normal circumstances, they did not need to compete with people from other star domains, or even the Eternal Holy Land.
In other words, as long as the overall strength of Youlan Palace was stronger compared to Lieyang Palace and Lixing Hall, that would be enough.
Chapter 247: Muyang's Confidence!
Trial World No. 996.
Muyang stood at the peak of the snowy mountain, staring intently at the name on the leaderboard whose points were skyrocketing, his expression changing constantly.
"Yu Huang!" Muyang said in a low voice, "I still underestimated you. To be able to eliminate Feng Wanliand Gu Changge, it seems your strength has probably reached the level of a near intermediate fifth-turn."
"However, you still cannot be my opponent!" Muyang's eyes were filled with thick confidence.
In his view, Su Yu's True Intent level might be able to reach a level similar to his.
However, comprehensive strength cannot be judged solely by the True Intent level.
First of all, his attribute stars had already reached 20. As for Su Yu, a Third-turn Professional from a weak civilization, Muyang estimated that his attribute stars would be around twelve or thirteen at best.
The higher the attribute star went, the greater the bonus to True Intent.
The gap between ten stars and a dozen stars might not be big, but the gap between a dozen stars and twenty stars was quite large.
If it were twenty stars and twenty-some stars, the gap would be even greater.
Later on, under the condition that other factors were the same, even if it had just one more star than the opponent, the strength could crush the opponent.
Moreover, after entering the fifth-turn, attribute stars could also be strengthened through special secret methods, and at that time the gap of a single star would be even greater.
In addition to the advantage in attribute stars, he also had an advantage in equipment. His armor set could absorb 90% of physical attack damage.
Although it could only absorb physical attack damage below the law level, this was still equipment that many people could never possess in a lifetime.
He simply did not believe that Su Yu, a bumpkin from a weak civilization, could have such a powerful armor set.
Professionals from weak civilizations wanting to obtain equipment was nothing more than running dungeons or exploring secret realms.
However, the equipment produced in dungeons and secret realms was basically mortal-grade equipment, unable to resist damage from True Intent.
Equipment above the mortal grade was called spirit-grade equipment.
Unlike mortal-grade equipment, which had so many fancy affixes, spirit-grade equipment generally had only two functions: either absorb damage or enhance damage.
Spirit-grade equipment could absorb damage below the law level.
Ordinary armor sets absorbed physical attack damage, and besides that, there were soul armors which could absorb soul attack damage.
However, soul armors were extremely rare; even he was not qualified to possess one.
"Without spirit-grade equipment, even if your True Intentlevel is about the same as mine, it is absolutely impossible for you to be my opponent."
"I will let you, this bumpkin, know what it means that there are people above people, and heavens beyond the heavens!" Muyang's mouth raised into a sneer.
His spirit-grade armor set could absorb 90% of physical attack damage. If the opponent did not have a spirit-grade armor set, a tenfold gap would instantly emerge.
It was equivalent to me hitting you and you taking 10 points of damage, while you hit me and I would only take 1 point of damage. This was fundamentally not a duel on the same level.
Swish!
The flaming wings behind Muyang flapped, and he flew away toward the depths of the snowy mountain.
In the Civilization Arena, the friend system could not be used.
Although he had roughly known Feng Wanli's location through a contact secret method long ago, that place was extremely far from here, taking even his flight speed several days.
Therefore, he could only slowly explore toward that direction first.
By then, once his subordinates discovered Su Yu's traces, it would not be too late to adjust the direction.
Anyway, flying in this direction right now would definitely not be wrong.
...
Time flowed, and quickly more than four days flashed by.
"There is just over a day left before the preliminary selection ends. Where on earth is Muyang?" Su Yufurrowed his brows slightly.
Over the course of more than four days, the number of people on the leaderboard was now less than 10,000. It was estimated that the vast majority of people were hiding in some extremely secluded corners.
Often after an hour passed, Su Yu could hardly see even a single trialist.
Although his point ranking was firmly in first place right now, he still had no thoughts of relaxing.
You must know that his target was to take first place on the overall leaderboard; the more Trial points he obtained, the higher the probability naturally would be.
Without knowing the overall ranking, he could only do his utmost to collect as many Trial points as possible.
About an hour later.
Two figures abruptly appeared within Su Yu's line of sight.
At this time, they were about fifty or sixty kilometers away from Su Yu, cautiously moving forward in the dense forest on the ground.
If it were not for the blessing of the Blood Gods Eye on Su Yu, it would be hard to discover these two people at such a great distance.
"Finally discovered trialists again." A smile rose on the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
The further it went, the higher the difficulty of discovering trialists became, but similarly, the harvest far exceeded before.
From the hundreds of millions of people at the beginning of the entire Trial World to the several thousand people now, the elimination rate had almost reached 99.998%.
Now, killing or defeating each trialist could yield at least tens of thousands of Trial points.
If the opponent's strength was a bit stronger, directly obtaining hundreds of thousands of Trial points was also normal.
The Trial points he currently possessed had already exceeded thirty million, which was more than one-tenth of the population of a Trial World.
Muyang, who was currently ranked second, had also exceeded twenty-five million Trial points. To be honest, the gap with Su Yu was not big.
As long as he killed a few more top-ranked trialists, he could catch up head-on.
Wanting to take first place on the overall leaderboard in the preliminary selection could not rely on strength alone; luck also occupied a huge component.
If in the later stage one consistently failed to encounter top-ranked trialists, the ranking could easily be surpassed by others.
Swish!
The thunder light on Su Yu's body surged greatly, and his movement speed suddenly increased by a notch, flying away toward the two figures dozens of kilometers away.
...
On the other side, in the dense forest dozens of kilometers away from Su Yu.
"Jin Luan, be a little careful. I just received news that Yu Huang appeared a little over 3,000 kilometers away from us not long ago," a robust man whose entire body's skin was golden said softly.
"What? Golden Bone, should we hurry and find a place to hide and lie low?" Jin Luan said nervously.
"Don't worry, Lord Muyang has already rushed to this vicinity. If he can find Yu Huang, we won't have to be so cautious anymore," Golden Bone said in a deep voice.
Among all the surviving trialists in this Trial World at present, its strength was second only to Muyang and Su Yu.
If it were not for the threat of Su Yu, it could completely sweep through recklessly.
How would it need to be like this now, cautiously searching for those hidden trialists like a thief.
"That's good. I hope Lord Muyang can quickly get rid of that scourge Yu Huang; he has already killed too many of our people." Jin Luan let out a long breath.
This was the best piece of news he had heard recently.
He and Golden Bone were clan brothers; he didn't expect their luck to be quite good this time, actually being assigned to the same Trial World.
His strength was much weaker than Golden Bone's. Under Golden Bone's protection, his ranking this time was not low either.
"Eh, why is there a bolt of thunder over there?" Jin Luansuddenly looked up and asked curiously.
"Not good, run quickly! That bolt of thunder should be Yu Huang!"
Golden Bone cried out in alarm, a pair of huge golden wings appearing behind it, dragging Jin Luan and frantically fleeing directly into the distance.
Chapter 248 Finished talking?
"Hmm? They actually ran away right away?" Su Yu looked somewhat surprised.
At this stage, the trialists who still dared to move around outside could all be said to be not weak in strength and were very confident in their own abilities.
At this moment, the vast majority of trialists had already gone into hiding.
As long as they could endure this last day or so, they would have a great chance of entering the top one thousand of the leaderboard and securing the qualification to enter the second stage of the main competition.
After all, there were only a few thousand people left on the leaderboard now. If they endured a bit longer, perhaps there would soon only be one thousand people left, directly ending the preliminary selection ahead of schedule.
Two people with such not-weak strength ran away immediately just upon seeing him from afar, which showed that they most likely knew who was coming.
"It seems that the trialists from these veteran civilizations indeed have a way to contact each other." Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.
This reminded him of a trialist squad he had defeated not long ago.
That trialist squad had a total of four people, and this group had similarly fled the instant they discovered him.
In the end, Su Yu directly accelerated and chased after them, severely injuring them with a few shots of the Blood Gods Eye, and asked them why they were running.
The person at the head only said a sentence: "Yu Huang, your good days are about to come to an end. Lord Muyangalready knows your location, and soon you will follow in our footsteps."
Saying this, the four of them directly conceded defeat and disappeared in place.
Su Yu guessed at the time that they should have a way to contact each other; otherwise, how could these people possibly know who he was?
Sweeping all the way through the Trial World, the True Intent of Thunder was his most conspicuous identifier.
They probably judged his identity through the True Intent of Thunder.
Although it could be said that quite a few people mastered the True Intent of Thunder, he was the only one who dared to fly so wantonly like him.
Now the behavior of the two people in front of him once again confirmed his thoughts.
"It seems Muyang is indeed looking for me, but this should be considered a great joy; I was just worried about not finding him." Su Yu thought to himself.
Swish!
The thunder light on Su Yu's body surged again, his movement speed skyrocketing by another notch, and the distance between him and the two of Golden Bone was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He was going to find these two to inquire about Muyang's location, and have a two-way heading battle with Muyang?
Fifty kilometers... Thirty kilometers... Fifteen kilometers...
Less than ten kilometers!
Golden Bone looked back, his pupils suddenly contracting violently.
That bolt of thunder light was already close at hand, and he could even feel the terrifying oppressive force contained within it!
"Jin Luan, run separately!" Golden Bone roared, abruptly pushing Jin Luan in another direction.
"Run separately?" A cold sneer curved the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
Blood Gods Eye!
The next instant, a terrifying invisible force carrying nearly eighth-grade True Intent of Thunder rolled over to crush Golden Bone and the other.
Boom! Boom!
The terrifying power of thunder suddenly erupted on their bodies, directly shattering the thick protective armor condensed from golden light on them.
Blood spewed wildly from the mouths of the two, their whole bodies were charred black, and the eerie white bones beneath the flesh were faintly visible.
Boom! Boom!
Following closely behind, two Blood Gods Eye attacks followed, bombarding their battered bodies.
The golden wings on their bodies could no longer be maintained, collapsing with a bang, and they smashed heavily from high into the ground.
Smashing a large pit several meters deep into the ground, most of their bones were broken, and their auras were withered to the extreme.
"Cough cough..." Golden Bone struggled to get up from the ground, trembling as he took out a green medicinal pill from his backpack and swallowed it directly.
Then he came to Jin Luan's side and fed him a green medicinal pill as well.
The injuries of the two slowly recovered under the effect of the medicine, but the residual power of thunder in their bodies was still continuously causing damage to them.
"Golden Bone... One or two more attacks and I'll die." Jin Luan's face was pale, and his voice trembled.
Golden Bone gritted his teeth, his gaze staring fixedly at Su Yu descending from the sky.
Su Yu landed in front of the two, standing with his hands behind his back, the thunder light circulating endlessly around his body, like the descent of a thunder god.
"Since you recognize me, you must be Muyang's people."
"Tell me his location, and then concede defeat, and I'll spare your lives." Su Yu's voice was plain.
Golden Bone and Jin Luan exchanged glances.
Just as Golden Bone was about to speak, he suddenly sensed a mysterious energy fluctuation.
"Lord Muyang is about to arrive?" Golden Bone was overjoyed inwardly, but his expression didn't change at all.
As early as the first moment he discovered Su Yu, he immediately activated the contact secret technique to transmit Su Yu's location to Muyang.
He didn't expect Muyang's location to be so close to him.
This meant that as long as he could stall for a little more time, the situation could be reversed soon.
"Yu Huang, I don't know Lord Muyang's location, but we can make a deal." Golden Bone said in a hoarse voice.
"A deal? What kind of deal can you make with me?" Su Yusaid indifferently.
"Resources. I know you come from a weak civilization, and all kinds of resources must be scarce. I can use resources in exchange for you letting the two of us leave." Golden Bonesqueezed an ugly smile onto his face.
"Oh? Then the two of you introduce yourselves first." Su Yunarrowed his eyes.
If the resources provided by these two indeed exceeded the value of their trial points, letting them leave wasn't entirely out of the question.
After all, he came to the Civilization Arena also to obtain resources.
"Golden Bone."
"Jin Luan." The two said one after another.
"To think they are two big fish! What resources do you have that are worth making me give up tens of millions of trial points?" Su Yu looked at the two of them with a half-smile.
Currently, Golden Bone was ranked third, possessing over 12 million trial points, while Jin Luan was ranked thirty-seventh, possessing over 2 million trial points.
The trial points of the two added together were approaching 15 million.
He really couldn't think of what resources these two could give that would make him willingly give up these 15 million trial points.
"enlightenment points!"
"I can give you an Enlightenment Stone. After using it, you can obtain 50 enlightenment points. This is definitely worth 15 million trial points." Golden Bone said hastily.
"Just this?" Su Yu spread his hands and shook his head with some disdain.
Even if he didn't use the enlightenment futon usually, he would at least use 10 enlightenment pointssimultaneously.
If he used the enlightenment futon, the number of enlightenment points used would directly double, using at least 20 enlightenment points simultaneously.
50 enlightenment points could be used at most five times in his hands; what difference did this make from brushing off a beggar?
The smile on Golden Bone's face stiffened slightly.
He didn't know whether Su Yu's appetite was too big or if he didn't understand the value of enlightenment points.
"Done talking?" Su Yu shook his head and took a step forward: "I don't lack enlightenment points; what I lack are trial points."
"In that case, I'll just take the trial points on your own bodies myself."
As his voice fell, a trace of blood color flashed in the depths of Su Yu's eyes.
The Blood Gods Eye, carrying nearly eighth-grade True Intent of Thunder, rolled and crushed toward Golden Boneand the other with a boom.
Chapter 249: Exactly What I Wanted!
"Not good!" Golden Bone's expression changed drastically, and his entire body's bones instantly flashed with dazzling golden light.
Boom! Boom!
The terrifying power of thunder suddenly erupted from the bodies of Golden Bone and the other person.
Golden Bone hard-deflected Su Yu's strike, and the aura that he had managed to recover instantly withered again.
"Pfft!" Jin Luan violently spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, nearly critically wounded and on the verge of death.
"Yu Huang, stop!"
Suddenly, an angry shout exploded from the distance, accompanied by an extremely scorching aura, as if a sun was rapidly approaching with Extreme Speed.
The flaming wings behind Muyang beat frantically, and his entire body, like a burning meteor, was rushing over here at an astonishing speed.
Hearing this voice, the two of Golden Bone were instantly ecstatic.
"Lord Muyang is here! We are saved!" Jin Luan was almost moved to tears of joy.
Golden Bone also let out a long sigh of relief. His delaying actions had been useful after all; although he hadn't delayed for long, he had managed to hold on until Lord Muyang arrived.
He and Jin Luan exchanged a glance, their eyes carrying a bit of post-catastrophe rejoicing and complacency.
With Lord Muyang here, what did Yu Huang amount to?
However, Su Yu's movements did not pause in the slightest, and he didn't even spare Muyang a single glance.
He directly poured two shots of Blood Gods Eye toward the two of Golden Bone.
Boom! Boom!
"Ah!" Golden Bone let out a miserable scream, and the terrifying power of thunder suddenly erupted, directly blasting a large hole in his chest.
Without any hesitation, Golden Bone directly conceded defeat. If an attack like this came two more times, he would definitely die without a doubt.
As for Jin Luan, he didn't even have time to let out a miserable scream before his body turned into countless fragments in the thunder light.
[Congratulations on defeating a challenger, you have obtained 12.15 million trial points.]
[Congratulations on defeating a challenger, you have obtained 2.66 million trial points.]
Two system prompt sounds rang in Su Yu's ears, and his expression did not change at all from beginning to end.
"You!!!"
Muyang's figure slammed down, kicking up dust all over the sky.
Looking at the place where Golden Bone disappeared and the fragments of flesh and blood all over the ground, his face was ashen to the extreme, and the flames all over his body were beating violently.
"Yu Huang, I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?" The anger in Muyang's eyes was almost going to burn everything to ashes.
Su Yu looked at Muyang, the corners of his mouth slightly curling up: "What kind of thing are you? I must stop just because you tell me to?"
"You!" Muyang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, but the killing intent in his eyes grew increasingly dense.
"Good! Very good!" Muyang sneered: "Yu Huang, don't think that just because your ranking is first, your strength is also first."
"If you have the guts, don't concede defeat later. Let's have a life-and-death battle between us!"
"I will let you know what it means that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens!"
Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, thunder light circulating around his body: "Exactly what I wanted, I have been looking for you for a long time."
In the Eternal Realm, inside the spectator space of the Beiyun Star Domain.
"Holy crap, Yu Huang's ranking actually rushed into the top ten of the overall leaderboard. The powerhouses in Trial World No. 996 are almost wiped out by him and Muyang."
"Golden Bone's luck is still a bit poor. Without Yu Huang, entering the main tournament would still be very easy."
"You can't put it that way either. Luck is also a part of strength."
"No! Luck, or rather fortune, is very important to a powerhouse. People with bad fortune can never become powerhouses."
"Indeed, which of all the people who can become powerhouses doesn't have super-strong fortune? Just like Divine Lord Lieyang, if he hadn't obtained a great opportunity in the Eternal Ancient Realm, how could he have attained the Dao of the Divine Lord within a mere thousand years and become a legendary figure of a generation in the Beiyun Star Domain?"
"Yu Huang and Muyang have already collided. With their points, no matter who wins, they can become the first on the overall leaderboard next."
"I think Muyang's winning rate is a bit higher. After all, Muyang comes from a super civilization, and his various foundations must be stronger than Yu Huang's."
"I didn't expect that Trial World No. 996 would simultaneously have two powerhouses with the strength to squeeze into the top fifty of the main tournament. I can only say whoever loses is just unlucky."
"Right, with their strength, they are at the level where they can securely take first place in the vast majority of Trial Worlds."
"However, precisely because of this, this time's first place on the overall leaderboard will most likely be produced between the two of them."
"This kid Muyang has really good luck. If it weren't for Yu Huang, he probably wouldn't have a chance if he wanted to win first place on the overall leaderboard."
"I think Yu Huang will win instead. Muyang's strength is considered an open hand, but we know nothing about Yu Huang. Perhaps his strength hasn't been fully unleashed yet."
"No way, a Third-turn Professional from a newborn civilization having strength close to Muyang's is already unimaginable. If he can defeat Muyang, I'm afraid his talent is even stronger than that of Divine Lord Lieyang back then."
"Let us wait and see!"
Countless high-tier Professionals discussed animatedly, full of anticipation for the battle between Su Yu and Muyang.
They stared fixedly at the information on the text live broadcast, afraid of missing the battle result of the two.
In Trial World No. 996.
"Exactly what you wanted? Looking for me for a long time?" Muyang sneered: "You really are an arrogant frog at the bottom of a well."
"I will soon let you know what the foundation of a super civilization is!"
"Frog at the bottom of a well?" Su Yu said calmly: "I feel like you guys are more like frogs at the bottom of a well."
Just now, Golden Bone treated even fifty enlightenment points like a treasure.
Even if the civilization Muyang belonged to was stronger than the one Golden Bone belonged to, how many resources could he possibly possess?
I'm afraid five hundred enlightenment points would be treated as a treasure by Muyang.
And five hundred enlightenment points would only be enough for him to use for a few days. Who was the true frog at the bottom of a well was clear at a glance.
"What does a bumpkin from a weak civilization like you understand?" Muyang sneered.
"Go to hell!"
Boom!
The flame power all over Muyang's body suddenly erupted, and a huge flame spear pierced through the air toward Su Yu.
"Come well, I just want to see how strong you so-called geniuses of super civilizations really are."
As Su Yu's voice fell, shadow fang in his hand appeared in the form of a bow and arrow.
Phantom Combo!
Boom!
The shadow fang in Su Yu's hand suddenly flashed with brilliant thunder light, and the nearly eighth-grade True Intent of Thunder poured out.
A huge Thunder Arrow violently tore through the void, colliding toward the flame spear.
Bang!
The flame spear was directly shattered by the Thunder Arrow, and streams of terrifying energy fluctuations dissipated, grinding everything around into powder.
After shattering the flame spear, although the Thunder Arrow was somewhat incomplete, its momentum did not weaken much, continuing to fly toward Muyang.
"What? His attack can actually shatter my flame spear." Muyang's expression changed.
He hadn't expected that the first clash would end with him falling into a disadvantage.
Chapter 250: How can you still fight?
Muyang's expression turned slightly serious. Although this was merely a casual strike from him, it was still not something an ordinary person could block.
Even with Golden Bone's strength, this flame spear was enough to directly inflict heavy injuries upon him.
For Taiwanese novels, go to Chaozan
You must know that Golden Bone excelled most at defense. Viewed this way, Su Yu's strength indeed somewhat exceeded his expectations.
Swoosh!
Burning with raging flames in his hand, Muyang directly threw a fierce punch, colliding with the Thunder Arrowshot over by Su Yu.
Boom!
The residual power of the Thunder Arrow was instantly shattered by Muyang's power of flames. The two forces exploded in mid-air, and the shockwave slammed into the ground, kicking up thick smoke and dust.
Swish, swish, swish!
Arrow after arrow of Thunder Arrow tore through the air toward Muyang like a violent storm.
Muyang also showed no weakness, throwing punch after punch. His fists of flames directly shattered all the Thunder Arrows shot by Su Yu.
Terrifying shockwaves continuously spread outward with his fists as the center.
Although he had the True Intent of Fire and a spirit-grade battle armor to absorb the damage, the massive shockwave still caused him considerable injury.
Most importantly, he was continuously taking damage while Su Yu remained completely unscathed. This was the advantage of long-range attack methods.
Furthermore, in the dark, he had a feeling that he could not dodge Su Yu's attacks, which seemed to contain the flavor of causality.
Unless he could isolate causality, no matter how he dodged, Su Yu's attacks would still hit him.
"I can't keep acting as a live target like this." A hint of solemnity flashed through Muyang's eyes.
Now Su Yu had seized the initiative, and he could only continuously fend off Su Yu's attacks. If this continued, no matter how strong his defensive capabilities were, he would be worn to death.
"I must engage in close combat with him!" A sharp glint flashed in Muyang's eyes.
Under close combat conditions, both sides would endure the same energy shockwave. At that time, his defensive advantage would be able to manifest.
After all, his spirit-grade battle armor could absorb 90% of physical attack damage.
Su Yu, a bumpkin from a weak civilization without a spirit-grade battle armor, what did he have to compare defensive capabilities with him?
Thinking of this, Muyang's figure directly vanished from the spot, abruptly appearing behind Su Yu.
Boom!
The power of flames in Muyang's hand erupted fiercely, blasting toward Su Yu's head.
Su Yu instantly perceived the change behind him, directly switching shadow fang into its dagger form and slashing out with a backhand strike.
Clang!
shadow fang and Muyang's fist collided together, producing the sound of metal clashing.
If one looked closely, a layer of cicada-wing-thin, virtually invisible flame gloves could be seen on Muyang's fists.
Swoosh!
The terrifying energy shockwave slammed directly onto the two people, passing through the protection of the True Intent and battle armor, continuously inflicting damage on both.
Bang! Bang!
Simultaneously, the two Thunder Arrows previously shot by Su Yu turned in mid-air, pursuing behind Muyang like maggots on a bone, and exploded with a boom.
Muyang only felt a wave of intense pain coming from his back, as the violent power of thunder wreaked havoc inside his body. His complexion suddenly flushed, and his vital blood churned ceaselessly.
"Courting death!"
Endless fury flashed through Muyang's eyes, and the power of flames all over his body abruptly surged by a notch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Clinging closely to Su Yu, he punched out blow after blow, as if intending to smash Su Yu into minced meat.
Su Yu didn't dodge either, instead playing along with him.
After all, this was his first time encountering such a strong Professional, so accumulating some combat experience was also quite meaningful.
Along the way, he could also gain a deeper understanding of just how strong the so-called geniuses in the super civilization really were.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Su Yu wielded shadow fang in its dagger form and fought against Muyang.
His close-combat experience was not as rich as Muyang's, so in the battle between the two, he was obviously at a disadvantage.
However, Su Yu was not discouraged; instead, he treated Muyang as a whetstone to train his own close-combat skills.
As time passed, Su Yu felt that his close-combat capabilities were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You... how can you still fight?" Muyang looked at Su Yu in disbelief.
In this continuous battle, even with his spirit-grade battle armor capable of absorbing 90% of physical attack damage, his health points had dropped by nearly half.
He could clearly perceive that Su Yu's life aura was not as vigorous as his; obviously, Su Yu's life level had not reached level twenty.
It could be said that Su Yu was inferior to him in every aspect.
Yet Su Yu's state at this moment seemed even more vigorous than his, without the slightest feeling of weakness at all.
You must know that the stronger a Professional's strength became, the fewer digitized characteristics they would have.
For people like them whose True Intent level reached above level seven, digitized characteristics had almost vanished.
Health points represented a person's vitality.
The stronger the vitality, the greater the power when driving the True Intent, allowing one to mobilize more of the power of heaven and earth.
If his health points continued to drop further, he would no longer be able to maintain his peak combat power.
Logically speaking, Su Yu's health points should have bottomed out long ago, and suffering heavy injuries to lose combat capability was supposed to be the script he should get.
How come it felt reversed now?
"Why can't I fight?" Su Yu chuckled. "Do you think you're very strong?"
"Did you employ some forbidden secret technique? Why hasn't your vitality dropped yet?" Muyang demanded sternly.
"Vitality? Sorry, your damage has no effect on me at all. I was merely treating you as a free sparring partner." Su Yusaid indifferently.
"I have spirit-grade equipment that can absorb 90% of physical attack damage. How could your defense possibly compare to mine?" Muyang sneered.
"Being able to absorb 90% of physical attack damage, that is indeed very impressive." Su Yu said with a half-smile.
His shadow armor could absorb 99% of physical attack damage, which was far stronger than the so-called spirit-grade equipment in Muyang's mouth.
However, this also made Su Yu realize one thing: those two legacy equipment items, shadow fang and shadow armor, were definitely not simple.
From an essential standpoint, they should be even stronger than the spirit-grade equipment Muyang mentioned.
Unfortunately, Xiaoyu's tier was too low, unable to unlock a higher-level game database. Otherwise, he wouldn't even fail to understand what spirit-grade equipment was.
"Alright, I won't play with you anymore. It's time for this to end." A smile curved the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
Boom!
Blood Gods Eye erupted fiercely, carrying the True Intent of Thunder.
This time, the level of the True Intent of Thunder was no longer close to level eight, but truly level eight!
Bang!
The power of the True Intent of Thunder slammed directly into Muyang's body, instantly shattering the True Intent of Fire condensed on his body surface.
A terrifying power of thunder erupted fiercely, instantly causing his health points to drop by a chunk.
Simultaneously, shadow fang swung out by Su Yu also brushed across Muyang's chest.
"Puff!" Muyang abruptly spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, plowing out a deep trench hundreds of meters long on the ground.
