91: StarCraft

"Commence battle!"

The electronic voice echoed.

Lin Yan looked up sharply.

Regardless of whether his thoughts were correct or not.

If there were Yao in the starry sky, then it was highly likely there were humans, and perhaps even others.

For instance, the Virtual Battle Network he was currently in had a high probability of being a product of the Human Race.

Therefore.

"Those not of my race, die!!"

Accompanied by this thunderous roar, his blood Qi surged like boiling lava, soaring into the sky like a meteor burning with raging flames, shooting forward at an incredible speed.

In an instant, he collided violently with the incoming Yao Race silhouette.

A loud "Bang—" rang out, and the entire space seemed to tremble.

That Yao Race Prodigy phantom instantly shattered like fragile porcelain under a single punch, turning into a mist of crimson blood.

"Hidden stage, second match."

"Lin Yan, victorious."

"Final match, starting in ten seconds."

"Yao Race—Prodigy Fledgling."

"cultivation: Basic Seventh Rank, Ninth Level; Combat power: Basic Eighth Rank, Ninth Level Invincible."

Eighth Rank, Ninth Level Invincible.

As expected.

Lin Yan's eyes showed no fluctuation.

He lightly gripped his right hand, and the heavenly emperor halberd appeared.

Ten seconds passed in a flash.

"Commence battle!"

The mechanical and cold electronic voice fell.

Two soul-shaking figures charged at each other at incredible speeds, like Mars colliding with Earth.

Lin Yan stomped on the ground, leaping into the air like a meteor burning with raging fire. His entire strength converged on the heavenly emperor halberd held tightly in both hands as he swung it down violently.

Overlord Halberd: Mount Tai Press.

A layer of extremely dense black light, like a nimble Dragon, flowed rapidly along the patterns of the halberd's body. At the tip of the halberd, a ferocious black Dragon head appeared, as if crawling out from the depths of Hell, baring its fangs and claws, spitting out scorching flames as if to swallow everything whole.

Facing such an attack.

The Yao Race phantom refused to be outdone.

He let out a deafening roar that seemed to tear the world apart, and his two massive fists struck forward with unparalleled power.

In an instant.

A thin but terrifyingly powerful aura suddenly emerged, sweeping toward Lin Yan like an overwhelming tide.

Boom—!

Accompanied by this earth-shaking explosion, a wave of extremely violent power rippled out wildly.

The Yao Race phantom's body sank abruptly as if struck by the weight of Mount Tai crushing an egg, and he slid backward rapidly in a kneeling position.

At the same time.

Lin Yan, who landed steadily, did not pause. As he shot forward with his halberd, his calm and indifferent eyes flickered slightly.

That pressure just now... felt somewhat similar to the feeling he had when he encountered the Dark Cultist Throne in the Magic City.

A Martial Skill?

There was no time to think.

With a loud "Bang" of his foot hitting the ground.

He leapt up again, and the heavenly emperor halberd in his hand swung down with the momentum of his body's rotation, striking down once more with thunderous force.

Overlord Halberd: Flipping Mount Tai Press

"Roar!"

The Yao Race phantom looked up and roared. While stepping back to control his stance, he once again raised his blood-dripping arms high.

For a moment, fist winds and halberd shadows intertwined.

Lin Yan's eyes shifted slightly.

It did indeed seem like a Martial Skill.

Does a King Rank Martial Skill come with its own aura?

Was this so-called Yao Race Prodigy Fledgling only able to have this combat power because of the bonus from that level of Martial Skill?

The heavenly emperor halberd struck down.

Bang—!

A mist of crimson blood sprayed.

"Hidden stage, final match."

"Lin Yan, victorious."

"Congratulations, Young King Lin Yan, for completing all kings road and perfectly clearing the Domain Level hidden difficulty."

"Comprehensive evaluation: Transcendent."

"About to enter the reward space."

The main event was finally coming.

The scene before Lin Yan's eyes shifted, and the familiar seven-colored space appeared.

Just as he was wondering why there were no reward options this time.

A ring slowly floated in front of him, accompanied by a mechanical electronic voice.

"Young King Lin Yan, please check your regular completion reward."

"After confirmation, it will be materialized upon exiting the Starry Sky Battle Net."

Lin Yan, who was about to reach out for it, paused, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

Starry Sky Battle Net!!

Not the Virtual Battle Network named by the people of the Blue Star.

He pondered for a moment.

"Can you explain the Starry Sky Battle Net to me?"

He didn't know if this so-called AI would reply, but he still chose to try.

Whether for his own future or for the Blue Star, he wanted to know the specifics far too much.

Soon, the voice rang out.

"Starry Sky Battle Net belongs to the Starry Sky Martial Arts Company. As long as a planet in the Human Race's territory is detected to be in the enlightenment stage of martial civilization, it will be allocated..."

"Damaged... Damaged... Data missing... Program in chaos... Starting repair mechanism..."

The entire seven-colored space shook violently, and disorganized voices echoed.

After an unknown amount of time.

"Young King Lin Yan, please check your regular completion reward."

Lin Yan fell silent for a moment.

Although the information provided was sparse, it was enough for him to get a general idea of the situation.

First, this so-called Starry Sky Battle Net belonged to a power called the Starry Sky Martial Arts Company.

Then, it must have automatically matched with the Blue Star after detecting that it had entered a martial civilization at some point.

However, for some unknown reason, it had been damaged, which was why the people of the Blue Star were able to gain partial control over it.

Then...

The youth's heart skipped a beat.

Although he didn't know the situation in the starry sky or how vast it was.

Just the mighty power to directly lock on and match like this... was this something humans could create?

Furthermore.

He remembered clearly that it had just said the reward would be materialized upon exiting the Starry Sky Battle Net.

Turning virtual into reality... Lin Yan looked at the floating ring in front of him again and reached out to grab it.

Instantly.

A massive space appeared in his vision.

This is...?

A storage space like in novels?

So this ring is a storage item?

Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

This reward is pretty good.

Just then.

"Please confirm your reward."

"Confirm."

He did not hesitate.

With such a large space, why would he need to carry a backpack in the future? No matter where he went to raid a house, he could just put everything inside.

"Confirmation complete."

"About to issue the reward for perfectly clearing the Domain Level hidden stage."

It's here.

Lin Yan's spirit was lifted.

Half a token emerged, shrouded in golden light.

He immediately saw the character "Ge" on it, which was exactly the character he seemed to have seen last time.

Another flash of golden light, and the other half of the token with the character "Zhan" appeared.

The two halves of the token instantly underwent Fusion under a dazzling light.

A black-gold token shimmering with light floated in front of Lin Yan.

"Hidden reward issued."

"Please confirm."
