169: Show your talent

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Flame Spears accurately struck Qing Yan, erupting into a massive firestorm.

Batoru was momentarily pleased; this was a secret move he had hidden for a long time.

A skill that perfectly complemented his domain was rare and had even greater potential. It was originally meant to be a trump card, but he had no choice but to expose it prematurely.

When the firestorm dissipated, a scorched Qing Yan appeared to have lost consciousness, half-kneeling on the ground.

Batoru's mouth curved upwards; he had won.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his head.

Baruch turned his head in disbelief to look at the other Qing Yan behind him, "You cheated."

After speaking, he collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness. Half of his head looked like a watermelon gnawed by a dog, with red blood flowing out.

Qing Yan wiped away a bead of sweat. That was a close call; he almost lost.

"Well done."

"Good kid, I knew you could do it."

"You're the best, Qing Yan."

The audience supporting Qing Yan erupted in cheers.

Qing Yan scratched his head, smiling honestly. With this victory, and after becoming a disciple of the Galaxy Lord, his race would no longer have to worry about being demoted.

...

Lin Ye looked at the somewhat simple-looking blue-skinned man with surprise. As expected of Qing Yan, he truly surpassed his predecessors. This tactic was impressive.

Possessing Star Eyes, he knew Qing Yan's plan: at the moment the Flame Spear struck, he used the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell technique to feign death and then ambushed his opponent when he let his guard down, delivering a powerful blow.

The plan was simple, but what was truly remarkable was his excellent acting ability.

"This kid looks honest, but he's actually quite ruthless," Beilu grumbled.

"Indeed, but perhaps his pressure was too great," Lin Ye said.

Beilu looked at Lin Ye thoughtfully. Lin Ye and Qing Yan seemed to share a similar plight.

Perhaps Lin Ye was even more fortunate than Qing Yan. He didn't have much racial burden. What danger could there be in the remote place that was Earth? Even cosmic pirates with a little ambition wouldn't go there.

"Lin Ye VS Byakuyakou."

As the ancient horn sounded, a new match began.

"I'll be right back," Lin Ye patted Beilu's shoulder.

"Hmm, you should handle Byakuyakou very easily," Beilu had no doubt about Lin Ye's strength.

Both of them entered the arena.

Byakuyakou was a genius of the second tier. While not exceptionally strong, he was still a genius who possessed a domain.

Few who reached this stage did not possess a domain, and they also had to be very strong themselves.

For example, Batoru's clever combination and flexible use of skills and domain made him quite powerful.

Byakuyakou was similar.

As the horn sounded, Byakuyakou cautiously released two light swords from his hands.

Light Sword Guard.

They were a specialty of his race.

The light swords had astonishing destructive power, and combined with Byakuyakou's extraordinary defense, they formed a perfect offense and defense. This was a very formidable profession.

Lin Ye did not release his domain, but his opponent seemed unable to sit still, and a light screen unfolded—the Light Domain.

All elements in the arena were repelled by the light, making the entire ring dazzlingly bright and the strong light unbearable for the spectators.

Lin Ye was closest but remained unaffected.

The opponents he had encountered before were all quite ordinary, so he hadn't revealed his full strength, which made Byakuyakou very cautious.

Several light sword slashes were unleashed from the light swords, which Lin Ye easily dodged. The Light Domain had no effect on his movements.

"Louis, you weren't talking about him, were you?" Karl exclaimed from the VIP section.

He had just tried to probe the strength of the contestants in the arena, but even at the peak of Star Domain Level, he couldn't detect anything about Lin Ye.

"Stay tuned," Louis revealed a riddle-like smile.

His fists hardened! Karl wanted to rush up and punch Louis.

Seriously, playing these games with me, huh? Die.

The current situation wasn't appropriate, but he would teach Louis a good lesson when he had the chance.

Lin Ye moved with leisurely steps, dodging Byakuyakou's attacks. Byakuyakou's single-target attacks were strong, but they had to hit, and clearly, he couldn't.

A shattering burst of energy erupted from beneath Byakuyakou's feet. It was the long-range attack method of Lin Ye's Star Shattering Fist, incorporating some ideas from Ruyi Strength.

Byakuyakou's feet went numb, and he grunted, falling to one knee.

Lin Ye, having the upper hand, showed no mercy. A Sky Covering Hand descended from above, completely suppressing Byakuyakou.

Techniques are about quality, not quantity. After comprehending the essence of most Martial Artist schools on Earth, Lin Ye's techniques could be altered according to the situation.

A teeth-grinding creak sounded; it was the sound of Byakuyakou's armor shattering. When the smoke cleared, only Byakuyakou's shattered body remained.

The surrounding audience was in an uproar.

"How does he have such a strong physical body?"

"Why can he suppress a domain without relying on any other power?"

"I don't understand."

Lin Ye's strength left many duel enthusiasts bewildered.

Everyone generally understood the limits of the Star Level. There was a certain degree to how strong one's physical body could be and how strong their Star Power could be.

But Lin Ye? He was too strong to be Star Level.

"Something's fishy. Could he be Star System Level?"

"Do you think the organizers are fools?"

For a time, rumors spread.

Some said Lin Ye was a Star Level with abnormal racial talent, some said he was a strong individual who had downgraded, and others believed the two were acting.

But no matter what, Lin Ye's reputation was firmly established.

And the contestants also felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"William, this person is your strongest competitor," a beautiful woman said to the tall figure in front.

William was widely recognized as the most promising contestant of this generation. With his twin domains, he was invincible in all aspects.

"Interesting," William said with his arms crossed, a look of interest on his face.

In a secluded corner of the venue, a thin, one-eyed man in a white coat and glasses pushed up his spectacles.

"What a perfect body! His stats have reached the limit I once predicted. Has heaven answered my call?" The one-eyed man was incredibly fervent, gesticulating wildly to vent his excitement.

The one-eyed Allison, a fanatical doctor, had embarked on the path of medicine and martial arts to explore the true meaning of Life. His self-created profession, the Poisonous Monster, was incredibly bizarre.

Meanwhile, in another VIP box, a twenty-meter-tall giant happily watched the scene. "I wonder who is stronger if he competes against me in strength?"

The Titan Giant Cadillac, who had achieved such accomplishments in the current decline of the giant bloodline.

The giant bloodline was originally a product of the Star Realm, but even in the Star Realm, the giant lineage had once become extinct. Changes in living conditions made their continuation very difficult.

But countless years ago, a giant accidentally passed through a Star Gate and arrived at the Titan Star System. Titan became their paradise.

Cadillac was precisely a Titan Giant born after countless generations of purification.

And in another VIP room, a beautiful woman with a pair of antennae on her head lazily watched everything unfold.

Qing Feng, a genius with extraordinary creativity, was also particularly skilled in Soul attacks. In this generation, she was one of the few who could threaten William.

"Interesting."
