467: Chapter 467 Nominal Disciple

"You can call me Quill. Are you ready?"

"If you defeat me, you can become my master's Named Disciple."

Quill did not answer Xiao Weiqing's other question.

But it also let Xiao Weiqing know the reward for passing the Fourth Trial.

Becoming his master's Named Disciple.

He just didn't know if his master was an Undying Realm Powerhouse, as mentioned by the Divine Envoy, or another Star Lord.

He thought it wouldn't be a Star Lord Realm.

The current Xiao Weiqing might not necessarily look up to a Star Lord Realm teacher, unless they had special abilities.

"Are you ready?"

Quill smiled, like an emotionless robot, asking for the third time.

"I'm ready."

Xiao Weiqing's figure flickered, retreating several kilometers, his Mental Energy highly concentrated, vigilant of everything around him.

"Good, then let's begin. I will fight you with the determination to kill you, and I hope you do the same."

Quill reminded him with a smile that grew even gentler.

Xiao Weiqing twitched the corner of his mouth.

Isn't this the typical 'dagger hidden in a smile'?

If you hadn't said you'd kill me, I really would have been moved by your smile.

"Don't worry, I will definitely go all out!"

Xiao Weiqing grinned, revealing his white teeth, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"Couldn't be better."

Quill still spoke softly, returning a smile.

"Fourth Trial: Divine Servant, Fourth-tier Peak."

An electronic voice sounded.

Suddenly.

Both men's smiles vanished, and the air immediately became solemn.

Even five kilometers apart.

Xiao Weiqing could still feel Quill's Aura continuously rising. This Aura was incredibly familiar to him, identical to Zang Yu's back then, but compared to Zang Yu, Quill's Aura was clearly much stronger.

"Divine Servant?"

"A servant of a god?"

Xiao Weiqing was shocked. Was this the true strength of the Divine Envoys of the four Great Divine Halls?

If the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy had this strength back then, he probably wouldn't have been his opponent. Thinking about it now, he was indeed quite lucky before.

However.

Now Xiao Weiqing's strength was vastly different from before. Whether it was a Divine Envoy or a Divine Servant.

Only one battle!

Boom~

Suddenly.

Both moved simultaneously.

In the spacious stone chamber, two afterimages rapidly rushed towards each other.

Just as they were about to collide.

A golden light flashed within Xiao Weiqing's body.

A golden world descended within the stone chamber.

It was his Domain!

Xiao Weiqing went all out from the start.

"Bang~"

With just one saber strike, Quill, who was flying rapidly, was sent flying back even faster.

While flying backward, Quill's abundant energy overflowed, and a faint blue halo flowed around his body. He casually touched the ground with his sword tip, stopping himself.

"Domain!"

A look of astonishment flashed in Quill's eyes.

"You are very good; you have the bearing of a Powerhouse."

Whoosh~

Within the Domain.

Quill exerted force with his feet, his body leaning slightly forward, attacking like lightning. His speed was slightly weaker than before, but still incredibly fast.

The longsword in his hand was incredibly strange, stabbing towards Xiao Weiqing's throat.

"Clang!"

Xiao Weiqing turned his blade outwards, dodged by tilting his head, and simultaneously retreated rapidly.

"Drip-drop~!"

A drop of red blood mixed with faint gold fell to the ground.

Xiao Weiqing looked forward, reaching out to touch his carotid artery. The slight sting told him that Quill was incredibly powerful, the strongest opponent he had encountered so far.

"The first-tier Domain is not enough to deal with me here," Quill said softly.

Xiao Weiqing's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Why?"

This was the second time this situation had occurred in a battle of the same Rank. The first time was against Cam. The Mechanical Race's internal energy was incredibly solid, with no leakage, making the first-tier Domain useless against them.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Weiqing's expression changed, as if something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

At this moment.

Quill smiled, "The internal energy is somewhat different; you'll know in the future."

"Yes, internal energy."

Xiao Weiqing suddenly understood.

It was indeed internal energy. Cam, being of the Mechanical Race, had a body different from ordinary intelligent life forms.

The Quill in front of him was also like this.

Although he couldn't tell if his body was abnormal, the light on his body made Xiao Weiqing unable to see through him.

He could feel that it was different from his own internal Universe energy, but it wasn't a fundamental difference; it belonged to the same origin.

Whoosh~

A cold glint appeared in the corner of his eye.

"Being distracted during battle is not a good habit." Quill's greatsword stabbed out like a venomous snake. The thick greatsword was wielded like a longsword by him, and each angle it appeared from was incredibly tricky.

Xiao Weiqing collected his thoughts, his figure flashing, appearing elsewhere.

Even if the Domain's suppression of Quill wasn't as strong as imagined, it could still greatly enhance Xiao Weiqing's combat strength, because this was his world, and everything in this world was an extension of Xiao Weiqing's power.

Mental Power permeated every inch of the Domain's space.

His speed, strength, and perception were all amplified to their limits.

Quill's speed and swordsmanship were no longer a problem for him.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Xiao Weiqing said coldly.

"Take this saber strike from me too!"

With a terrifying burst, Xiao Weiqing held the ten thousand calamities in his right hand, the blade imbued with Divine Fire erupting with light, slashing towards Quill.

Quill's eyes narrowed. He raised his blood-colored greatsword, blocking it in front of him.

Bang~

An incredibly terrifying impact, a destructive shockwave spread in all directions, hitting the surrounding rock walls. The rock walls immediately collapsed, and gravel scattered from above, smashing onto the ground.

The immense power forced Xiao Weiqing back a few steps.

Quill, however, flew out, but he once again touched the ground with his sword tip, easily stopping his backward momentum. Where the sword tip touched the ground, a dull thud sounded, clearly indicating that Quill had dispersed the force.

This showed.

Quill's strength was much weaker than Xiao Weiqing's, even to the point of not being on the same Rank.

However.

Quill's technique was exceptionally good. In their exchange, from the collision to the burst of power, in such a short time, he was actually able to transfer the attack he received through his greatsword to the ground.

Xiao Weiqing admitted he couldn't do that.

When he was learning saber techniques from Zhao Jia, he was warned that if he encountered someone whose strength far surpassed his own, he should try not to parry.

Clearly.

This situation did not apply to Quill.

"Good technique."

Xiao Weiqing praised him.

With the next strike, he erupted with even greater power, chopping down fiercely.

"Bang~"

This time.

Quill flew even further, nearly three hundred meters, before stopping himself.

Bang~

Bang~ Bang~ Bang~

Within the Domain.

Quill was being ravaged by Xiao Weiqing like a rubber ball.

"Quite resilient!"

In less than two minutes, Quill's combat suit was riddled with holes, tattered beyond recognition.

Even the blood-colored greatsword in his hand had several new nicks.

"Stop~"

Just as Xiao Weiqing was about to make another move.

Quill called a halt.

"You win. In fact, when you revealed your Domain, you were already in an unbeatable position."

"Although it's only a first-tier Domain, in same-Rank battles, it can be said to be invincible."

"Even if I can ensure my strength isn't suppressed, I can't stop the Domain from boosting your strength."

"You passed the trial."

"Congratulations."
