147: Then come on, everyone!

Announce his name? Then step onto the arena?

Amused, cold sneers appeared on the faces of the people from both the Military Alliance and the Supreme Academy.

He really thinks too highly of himself!

Shu Xia glanced at Gu Zhu, who was still clinging to Cao Xiujie's side, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"Cao Xiujie."

"Since you're here, aren't you going to give it a try?"

Cao Xiujie gave a faint laugh.

"Since I'm here, naturally, just 'trying' won't be enough."

"However."

"As the Military Alliance was the first to be slapped in the face, I can let you reclaim your dignity first, Sister Xia."

Fuck! What a show-off!

Who the hell are you trying to impress!

Geng Feihang cursed inwardly.

"In that case..."

He had just taken a step forward.

A pink figure flickered and moved before him.

"Brother Jie."

"Why bother with them?"

"Watch me deal with this brat first!"

Gu Zhu spoke loudly, her voice echoing throughout the main city of Chezhou Star and spreading to all the stars in the Eastern Region through the live broadcast.

"Supreme Academy, Gu Zhu!"

"Kid from the Martial Arts Company, let me see what you're really capable of!"

The petite figure landed on the arena, and a pink whip that perfectly matched her outfit appeared in her hand.

Countless pairs of eyes watched intently.

Supreme Academy!

Gu Zhu!

The fight was about to begin!

Just as Lin Yan had previously thought.

The common people of the Tianqi Imperial Court were watching with great interest.

Win!

If he wins, it's a 20% discount!

Those with status and knowledge of higher-level information had searching looks in their eyes.

A battle of Star Envoys!

Let us see with our own eyes just how big the gap is between these so-called Ancestral Court forces.

On the arena.

Lin Yan watched Gu Zhu as she twirled the pink whip in her hand, his expression remaining unchanged.

"Get ready."

"You may strike or speak whenever you are ready."

"Hmph." Gu Zhu's dainty nose wrinkled slightly. "Your strength isn't much, but you certainly put on a good show of being high and mighty."

Crack—!

She suddenly lashed her whip against the arena, stirring up a layer of protective flowing light.

"Come!"

"I'll give you the chance to make the first move!"

Hearing these words.

A faint smile finally appeared on Lin Yan's unchanging face.

"Fine."

Sixth Grade Middle Stage.

She should have some strength... The youth looked up.

Crack—!

A sudden clap of thunder exploded in the clear, cloudless sky.

What?!

The relaxed expressions of Shu Xia and Cao Xiujie tightened instantly.

Boom—!

An explosive Aura that looked down upon all living beings erupted at the same moment dark clouds instantaneously gathered.

Two beams of dazzling, blinding white light shot out violently from Lin Yan's raised eyes.

What is this?!

As the primary target, Gu Zhu only had time for that single thought to flash through her mind as she barely managed to swing her whip.

Bang—!

The two beams of white light had already slammed into the whip she had swung out.

Crash—!

The sound of glass shattering echoed softly over the mid-air arena.

The pink whip disintegrated into a flurry of flying shards.

"Impossible!!"

A cry of shock and fury rang out.

Bang—!

Gu Zhu's ample chest took a heavy blow.

"Pfft!"

She spat out a mouthful of blood.

She was sent flying out of the arena like a cannonball.

Cao Xiujie immediately reached out and caught the incoming Gu Zhu.

Boom—!

A loud explosion occurred.

A violent shockwave ravaged the air in all directions.

Rumble—!

The buildings throughout the main city of Chezhou Star trembled.

Various protective flowing lights flickered frantically.

Cao Xiujie looked at the pale-faced, weakly breathing Gu Zhu in his arms. His gaze lingered briefly on her bloodied chest before he snapped his head up to look at the calm Lin Yan on the nearby arena.

"You...!"

His eyes, filled with rage, also held a hint of shock.

What kind of strength is this?!

What was that just now?

A Pupil Technique?

How could it possess such a supreme Aura that suppresses all life!

Unlike Yan Zijin and Hang Qin.

As a Star River Rank, he knew more, and his understanding went deeper!

Domain!

This is the ability of a Domain-level Prodigy!!

The one who made the same certain judgment was Shu Xia on the other side, whose expression had changed drastically.

Dense crowds of figures rose into the air from the ground.

They were the Guard Teams of the six individuals.

Among them, the captain of Gu Zhu's Guard Team had a look of shock and fury.

"Your Highness!"

"Kid! You're looking for death!"

The middle-aged man at the lead was about to charge toward Lin Yan.

"Get back down!"

A cold voice rang out.

A woman dressed in black appeared instantly in front of the man and pressed her palm downward.

Boom—!

A powerful Aura manifested instantly.

A hundred members of Gu Zhu's Guard Team were hit by a heavy blow, all of them instantly blasted into the Supreme Academy's area, smashing countless buildings.

Simultaneously.

A hundred black-clad figures appeared in mid-air like ghosts, surrounding the shocked and angry Cao Xiujie, Shu Xia, and the others.

"Your Highness!"

A slightly trembling voice whispered in their ears.

"Venerable Rank!"

"They're all at the Venerable Rank!"

This scene.

Stunned everyone across the fifteen stars who were watching.

They hadn't even recovered from Lin Yan's instant defeat of Gu Zhu when they witnessed this even more terrifying sight.

The people in Chezhou Star's main city, in particular, were trembling.

That fleeting Aura that surpassed all life and the black-clad woman who suddenly struck!!

What is going on!

Is this what people from the top-tier forces of the starry sky are like?

The head of the five great forces of the Ancestral Court!

This concept, which was originally impossible for them to visualize, seemed to have become a bit clearer in their minds.

"Hehe..."

The youth's light laughter echoed in the silent sky.

"Supreme Academy, Gu Zhu."

"Challenge failed."

Lin Yan's gaze swept across the members of both sides.

"Next."

Facing this seemingly calm gaze, Geng Feihang, who had wanted to be the first to strike just now, felt his heart tremble, and he instinctively shrank back.

What is this!

What the hell is this!

His gaze swept over the pale-faced Yan Zijin beside him.

Gu Zhu, who had the same Sixth Grade Middle Stage cultivation and Seventh Grade Peak combat power as him, was sent flying with just a glance!

A suspected pseudo domain?!

Even higher-level guard members, who made Cao Xiujie and Shu Xia's Guard Teams afraid to move, have appeared!

Are you fucking sure this isn't Domain Level?

Yan Zijin!!

Are you trying to get me killed! Do you have a problem with me? You're a fucking animal!

Whew...!

Cao Xiujie and Shu Xia exhaled softly, suppressing the shock in their hearts.

Fifth Grade Early Stage.

His cultivation is at the Fifth Grade Early Stage.

Even if he is Domain Level, his combat power would be at the Eighth Grade Early Stage.

Taking it a step further.

With the unique abilities of the Domain Level, at most, it would be Eighth Grade Middle or Late Stage!

And what were they?

Cao Xiujie, Sixth Grade Peak, Ninth Grade Early Stage combat power.

Shu Xia, Sixth Grade Late Stage, Eighth Grade Peak combat power.

So!

It's not that he's untouchable!

But that there's a chance!

A very good chance!!

The two, who knew each other well, turned their heads at the same time and saw the same message in each other's eyes.

"I'll go first!"

Shu Xia said, about to step forward.

Lin Yan, who felt he had been waiting for quite a while, happened to speak again.

"Hard to choose?"

"Then all of you come at me."

"However many of you come, I'll count it as that many matches."

Shu Xia's movement came to a sudden halt.

Fury surged in the depths of Cao Xiujie's eyes.

A wave of exclamations erupted across the stars.

"Fuck!"

"That's so fucking badass!"

"So overbearing!"

"Starry Sky Martial Arts Company! Starry Sky Martial Arts Company!!"

"I'll remember this!"

"If this lord wins, I'll go back and break my son's legs—the one who's dead set on joining the Military Alliance—and drag him over there to sign up!"
