436: Chapter 436 A Gathering of Prodigies, the Terrifying Imperial River!

"There's a picture! Look quickly!"

"It's started! It's finally started!"

"Holy crap! This shuttle is so cool! The materials look like those used on S-class spaceships!"

"It's truly handsome!"

...

As the Students were deployed one after another.

At this moment, within the virtual venue, footage from the Hunting Grounds began to appear.

The opening scene showed hundreds and thousands of Students driving top-tier shuttles, galloping through the Hunting Grounds.

This immediately sent the citizens, who had become slightly anxious while waiting, into a frenzy!

And soon.

As the Students' shuttles raced into the Hunting Grounds.

Densely packed Chaos Fierce Beasts, exuding an intense sense of pressure, also appeared.

These Chaos Fierce Beasts were generally at the sixth or seventh stage, or the seventh or eighth stage of the Cosmic Level, and there were even many at the peak of the Ninth Stage of the Cosmic Level!

Even through the screen, the citizens could feel that terrifying pressure.

When the two sides met, a slaughter naturally began immediately.

Students leaned out one after another, wielding weapons or secret arts, swiftly weaving through the beast swarms in a chaotic battle as colorful lights from various attacks flew everywhere.

The dense roars of the beasts were interspersed with these incredibly bloody scenes of combat.

A feast of speed and passion.

The curtain had officially been pulled back!

On the far right of the venue, the real-time point rankings of all Students appeared.

Currently, these rankings were only visible to the citizens watching from the outside; the Contestants could not see them at all.

However, since it had only just begun,

the speed at which the rankings changed was simply too fast.

Most citizens didn't pay much attention to the rankings yet, only glancing at them once or twice at most.

And soon.

The citizens immediately began searching for the more popular Students.

"Look there! It's Han Luo from the Cosmic Cloud!"

"Hiss! So strong!"

"Three Strands of Law Power! The rumors are indeed true!"

Someone spotted Han Luo and let out an exclamation, instantly drawing the attention of a large group of people.

Han Luo was currently driving a shuttle, weaving through a nest of eighth-stage Cosmic Level fierce beasts.

In an instant, Han Luo slaughtered the entire nest of beasts, and he looked completely relaxed and at ease.

This style was entirely different from most of the other Students.

...

"Look over there, Lingxu Company's Wang Yunteng! He also has Three Strands of Law Power!"

"Good heavens, this Wang Yunteng truly has the potential of a Venerable! He actually put away his shuttle and charged alone into the chaos mist to fight the beasts! How fierce!"

"I'd long heard that Wang Yunteng's attainment in the Great Dao of Fire was extremely high, but I didn't expect it to be this high! Among his Three Strands of Law Power, two are actually the Law of Fire!"

In another scene.

A handsome young man with a divine aura was covered in golden flames as he dove into a swarm of beasts. In the blink of an eye, the beasts turned into charred black smoke; the scene was truly shocking.

This young man was one of the top geniuses in this batch from Lingxu Company, Wang Yunteng!

...

Next.

As time passed, more and more scenes of geniuses appeared before their eyes.

Cheers broke out in wave after wave.

On a spaceship outside the Hunting Grounds.

Tai Fang was leading several accompanying mentors to successfully meet with the spokespeople and mentors from the Lingxu side.

At this time, they were sitting together, drinking fine wine while enjoying the live broadcast from the Hunting Grounds.

Perhaps because it had only just begun,

the atmosphere between the two sides was still relatively peaceful and harmonious, unlike when they were in the virtual network, where they would mock each other and boast about their own Students as soon as they spoke.

But soon.

With a single sentence from the lead spokesperson of the Lingxu side,

the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere on the field instantly collapsed.

"Your Cosmic Cloud isn't doing so well this time!"

"It's only just started, and you've already lost a major combatant!"

He spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on the screen ahead.

On the screen.

It was the scene where Di Chuan was located.

Di Chuan raised his hand and released a terrifying white light, blasting towards a shuttle.

Instantly, the shuttle was destroyed and the person was injured!

The young man in the shuttle was so shocked that he abandoned the shuttle and fled, intending to head toward a nearby chaos cloud to activate a backup shuttle and escape.

However, Di Chuan did not let him have his way.

Another burst of white light erupted, directly triggering the teleportation array on the young man, who was forcefully eliminated in just two moves!

Looking closely, this young man was actually a genius with Three Strands of Law Power, and he was from the Cosmic Cloud side!

"This guy! That's the White Void Curse! The Di Family's inherited secret art!"

Tai Fang's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Di Chuan on the screen, his expression slightly grave.

Di Chuan's strength was indeed terrifying to the extreme!

The genius who had just been eliminated had only recently comprehended his third strand of Law Power; he couldn't compare to Han Luo or Yun Yang, but his strength wasn't weak and he was indeed one of their main geniuses this time.

But when facing Di Chuan, he had no power to resist at all!

It wasn't that he was too cowardly, but that the gap in strength was truly there; even if he had fought Di Chuan for a while, the outcome would have been the same.

He could only blame his poor luck for running into Di Chuan right at the start.

"This kid does have a bit of strength, but he's only so-so, even weaker than I imagined!"

"To only have this much combat power after comprehending four strands of Law Power is quite average!"

Even though they had gotten off to a bad start and Di Chuan's strength was far beyond imagination, Tai Fang refused to back down. He immediately showed a contemptuous smile and spoke with a face full of disdain.

As soon as these words were spoken.

The expressions of those from Lingxu all changed.

"Only so-so? Could it be that among your group, you can find someone who can take three moves from Di Chuan?"

"Oh, you have a Li Fan. I know a bit about that kid; he has some strength and should be able to take three moves, but only three moves."

The lead person from Lingxu spoke again, starting to get sarcastic.

And as these words fell.

An accompanying mentor beside Tai Fang could no longer endure it.

"Niu Xing, you old geezer, what the hell are you being so sarcastic for? You just happened to pick up a good seedling from the Di Family, look at how smug you are! Just you wait, this kid will be eliminated in a moment!"

The battle had officially begun!

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, someone's getting anxious!"

"Damn it! Who are you calling anxious!"

"Anyway, someone is anxious, but I'm not saying who?"

...

For a moment.

The scene was extremely chaotic as delicacies, fine wine, stools, and teapots all flew about.

However, although it was chaotic, they didn't actually come to blows, instinctively stopping before things went too far.

After all, if this group of people really started fighting, the Hunting Grounds would suffer.

Of course, given their years of friendship, they wouldn't get too serious.
