159: Chapter 159 The Shadow of Demons, Black Da Dies in Battle!

"Hall Master?"

"Father Emperor?"

"Teacher?"

"Senior?"

...

Looking at those scattered figures.

For a moment, the prodigies on both sides felt their brains buzzing, unable to process what they were seeing.

Once both sides had regained their composure,

complex emotions began to erupt.

The first to break down were, unsurprisingly, the Alien Race Prodigies.

Before the assessment began, they had absolute confidence.

Even moments ago, they were "opening the champagne," celebrating their victory in advance.

But when they came out to look,

there were only a few Hall Masters left, and those terrifyingly powerful Old Hall Masters were all missing.

As for why they were missing,

they weren't fools; they could obviously guess the reason.

They had naturally fallen!

"Where are Hall Master Xuan Hu and Black Shark Hall Master?"

"Father Emperor, why don't I see my Father Emperor?!"

"My Father Emperor isn't here either?!"

"Could it be... they all died in battle?"

"How is this possible? How could my Father Emperor lose to weak humans?"

Incredulous cries now echoed throughout the entire Alien Race Prodigies' camp.

It had even turned into a massive drama of "Where has Daddy gone?"

Clearly,

they found the facts before them difficult to accept.

Their invincible Hall Masters, their invincible Father Emperors, had actually fallen while fighting humans!

They even thought the human side had won.

It wasn't until they saw the score above the Beast Fighting Arena that they realized they hadn't lost!

However, even though they hadn't lost, it was an absolute pyrrhic victory!

This dealt an unprecedented blow to their immense self-confidence.

Humans, it seemed, were not as weak as they had imagined!

On the other side,

Li Fan and the others, while in the red mist, had not been at ease regarding the situation on the older generation's battlefield; in fact, they were extremely worried and had long since prepared themselves mentally.

So, seeing the sparse number of seniors in the audience now, their reaction was not as violent as that of the Alien Race Prodigies.

But of course, it was impossible to have no reaction at all.

Many of the teachers they were familiar with, who had once taught them, were now all gone.

From the exhaustion on the faces of the seniors in the stands and the score appearing above, it wasn't hard to guess.

The battle of the seniors must have been extremely cruel and intense!

And now,

the fate of humanity had fallen entirely upon their shoulders.

In the crowd, Li Fan immediately searched for the figures of Li Daguo and Huang Lan.

Fortunately,

parents were still alive!

This truly allowed Li Fan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, to settle completely.

At this moment,

parents in the audience also immediately looked toward Li Fan.

As their eyes met, no words were needed; they all knew what the others wanted to express.

"We're only trailing by two points, we still have a great chance!"

Bo Jun stared at the spot in the audience where Duke Yu's figure was missing, dazing slightly before looking up at the score and speaking sharply.

As soon as these words were spoken,

the group of prodigies, who were still immersed in the grief of their seniors' deaths, all snapped back to their senses.

Next, it was their turn.

On the other side,

under the meaningful glances of their Hall Masters, the Alien Race Prodigies also slowly reined in their emotions and fixed their gaze on the battlefield.

Currently, their Sea Race was only leading the humans by two points.

So, they did not have the luxury of slacking off.

Whether the Sea Race could enter the starry sky still depended on their performance!

"Begin the selection of combatants!"

At that moment, that voice rang out once more.

Immediately following,

just like before,

a round of white light began to appear within both camps successively.

The answer was revealed quickly.

The one chosen from the human side was Hei Da!

That's right, it was the same Hei Da who had previously gone to the secret realm with Li Fan.

"Brothers, I'll head up first!" Hei Da looked at the white light on himself, instantly realizing he had been chosen, and turned back to say to Li Fan and the others.

As for the Alien Race Prodigies' side, the one chosen was an alien with many tentacles and a very strange appearance.

Judging by his appearance, this person was very likely of the Demon Eye Hall Master's bloodline.

However, despite his hideous looks, the aura he emitted was quite startling.

"Mo Ying, your ancestor has fallen. As a descendant of the Demon Eye Hall Master's bloodline, it is your duty to seek revenge. You must win this battle!"

Among the aliens, a prodigy spoke in a low voice to the chosen one.

But he responded with a look that said "shut up."

"What I need to do is not for you to say!"

With that,

he took the initiative to enter the Beast Fighting Arena.

And as the first prodigies from both camps entered the field,

the citizens of both sides now subconsciously held their breath.

Every subsequent battle

could be said to be related to the future of their respective races.

"It's Prince Mo Ying. His strength is quite good; perhaps he can help our race secure the first victory!"

"Hard to say. When Lord Demon Eye and the others first appeared, we also thought they would win, but didn't they lose in the end?"

"Yeah, humans still can't be underestimated. We'll only know who wins or loses after the fight!"

"I hope Prince Mo Ying can take down this human to boost our morale. I see that the princes' morale has clearly flagged after seeing so many Hall Masters missing."

"If I remember correctly, Prince Mo Ying is already at the peak of the Saint Realm. Among the young princes, he's considered very good. He should be able to take this first round."

Among the alien race, voices were constant at this moment.

Regarding Prince Mo Ying's appearance, although the aliens still praised him, they were much more restrained compared to before.

And on the Great Xia side,

Hei Da's fame wasn't very large, so not many people could recognize him, and thus there were basically not many cheers.

But in this situation, no matter which prodigy went up, they were cheering and shouting for them from the bottom of their hearts.

Returning focus to the Beast Fighting Arena,

with the entry of Prince Mo Ying and Hei Da, the first battle of the younger generation was about to break out.

The two were at loggerheads, each with their own reasons for needing to win, so neither said a word.

Both immediately unleashed killing moves and charged at each other.

And as a descendant of the Demon Eye Hall Master, Mo Ying's mastery of illusions was also extremely powerful.

Hei Da's realm was already a level weaker, with only the combat power of a middle-stage Saint Realm at best.

Facing these illusions, he naturally had almost no power to resist.

In just a single exchange,

Hei Da was pierced through by Prince Mo Ying's tentacles.

As for the scene that followed, it goes without saying.

Hei Da had almost no room for resistance before his life force was snuffed out.

Such a scene

instantly made the already passive Citizens of Great Xia even more desperate.

Watching this from the audience, Li Daguo and the others were truly heartbroken.

Watching these juniors fall was the most painful thing.

At their age, they shouldn't have had to endure this.

At this moment, Huang Lan subconsciously gripped Li Daguo's hand tightly.

Looking at Huang Lan's eyes, Li Daguo could tell at a glance what she was thinking.

She was afraid that Li Fan would also end up with such a fate, without even an intact corpse.

"Don't worry, Xiao Fan is a child who can create miracles. Maybe this time we'll have to rely on him."

Li Daguo gently patted Huang Lan's back, forcing a smile.

Hearing this,

Huang Lan didn't receive any comfort because she knew Li Daguo was simply saying it to console her.

She was very clear about the current situation.

Li Fan's talent was indeed good, and he could even contend with the Saint level.

But the highest combat power among the younger generation was the Quasi-God.

As long as one hadn't reached the Quasi-God level, there was almost no possibility of surviving to the end, let alone turning the tide.

Li Fan had indeed given them many surprises before, even miracles.

But to raise his combat power to the Quasi-Emperor level in such a short period of time—

she wouldn't believe it even if she were killed!
