The Ten Arbiters Council was a powerful organization that encompassed the entire universe. Regardless of person, power, or region, the younger generation was nominally under the Ten Arbiters Council's jurisdiction. Not only did they have the power to judge and judge, but they even had a direct army. This was the greatest change to humanity since the creation of formcast models.
Countless people dreamed of joining the Ten Arbiters Council and following the ten great figures to start a new chapter for humanity. The Council of Astral Academy was very close to the Ten Arbiters.
There were close to ten thousand students in the Astral Combat Academy, and there were countless hidden powerhouses. Everyone was waiting for this moment to arrive, where they could defeat the student leader in front of everyone and enter the Ten Arbiters' sights, becoming a famous young powerhouse in the universe.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, numbers automatically appeared in front of every participant's eyes and flashed continuously before finally stopping.
"Place your hand on the numbers," a loud voice boomed from the sky.
All the participants raised their hands and touched the numbers. The scene before their eyes changed as 434 people suddenly appeared in the arena. There were two people in each arena, and all the participants were divided into groups. Aside from the student leader on the peak, the rest of the participants saw their opponents.
"Kill your opponent and you'll win," the voice boomed again.
Everyone looked at the arena plains with fervor. The insufferably arrogant Area Masters, the powerhouses of the spirit hunters, hidden powerhouses, and frozen geniuses would all be exposed here. At this moment, no one could hide their strength. This was currently the most dazzling stage in the entire universe.
With a loud shout, the battles in the two hundred and seventeen arenas began at the same time. Everyone could clearly see all the arenas on the screens.
The battles began and ended quickly as well, as the gap between some of the participants was too great.
In the trial zones, everyone had the symbol of their academy on their backs.
Maro felt that she was very lucky to have met a Melder from Astral-10. It was obvious that he had just joined the academy not long ago. Although his appearance was a little intimidating, there were too many strange people in the universe. This did not necessarily mean that he was strong. Only the few that had been highlighted in the academy's newspaper were strong.
Darkvoid stood opposite Maro. He was very calm, and his black hair that seemed to swallow all light was indeed intimidating. Because of this, he attracted many people's attention. However, everyone's attention was quickly diverted away as a battle that attracted countless people was taking place not far from their arena.
One of them was a Daynight youth from Astral-4 who had come to pay respects to his ancestors. His opponent was also a youth who looked very ordinary, but this youth had managed to dodge several of the Daynight youth's attacks.
The man from the Daynight clan was called Tiankong Daynight, and he was one of the top five powerhouses in Astral-4. He was also one of the Area Masters of the Path of Slaughter. Unless his opponent was someone at the same level as him, he should have been able to instantly kill anyone. However, he was currently in a deadlock, and his opponent was a stranger. He was not a senior from the Astral Combat Academy, but someone who had only recently joined Astral-3.
The news of the Astral Combat Tournament being broadcasted across the entire universe had attracted countless geniuses, and that youth was one of them. However, no one knew who he was.
Beng
Tiankong Daynight's attack covered the entire arena, causing the air above the arena to crack and even distort space until it was blocked by the invisible air waves at the edge of the arena. This attack could definitely hit that young man.
However, as the dust settled, the young man with a rigid expression was still standing there, seemingly unaffected.
Tiankong Daynight's eyes narrowed. Impossible.
At the same time, in another arena in the distance, Frankfurt gripped his spear tightly as he looked at the approaching vortex. His attack was useless as his battle force was easily shattered. The beautiful Yue Xianzi was standing in the center of the vortex.
"Is this the battle technique that you inherited from Blackwater Lake?" Frankfurt's voice was hoarse, and there was a trace of disbelief in his voice.
Yue Xianzi's expression was cold as she looked at Frankfurt with her beautiful eyes. "Disappear." As she spoke, a cold moon vaguely appeared above her head, causing Frankfurt's body to freeze as the vortex swallowed him whole.
The first Area Master had been defeated, and this shocked all of the Astral Combat Academy students.
An Area Master was a powerhouse that was second only to a Realm Master, and there were only a few of them in each academy. Even the weakest of them could rank in the top ten of their respective academies, but now, they had been easily eliminated.
This year's Astral Combat Tournament was unusual, and everyone knew that, but no one had expected an Area Master to be defeated so quickly. It was Yue Xianzi from the Frostmoon Sect, who had also only recently joined the Astral Combat Academy.
Maro had been defeated in a baffling manner, but her heart had been shaken. She had been torn apart by a sliver of the void. That man from Astral-10 had been able to tear through the void so easily, which was too inconceivable. Astral-10 had hidden its strength far too well.
Darkvoid had won, but Schutz had lost. No matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to comprehend battle force in this short period of time. He had plenty of battle experience, but he could only be easily crushed by an Area Master. He was very unlucky to have met an Area Master.
It wasn't just Schutz; even Zora and Zhao Yilong had been defeated without any suspense. All of the students who had been able to reach this stage were very strong. Although they couldn't compare to those who had been individually taught by their mentors for several months, a few months was still not enough to make up for the gap between them and a Limiteer genius.
Sometimes, ninety-nine percent of effort was just one percent less than talent.
In one of the arenas, Coco kept running while a man chased after her with a sword. He had been chasing her for a while now, and this scene attracted a lot of attention. Many people were attracted by Coco's cuteness. Was this girl here to compete?
"You, you, stop running. This is a fight, not a race." The man panted heavily as he looked at Coco helplessly.
Coco pouted. "I don't know how to fight."
The man was speechless. "Then admit defeat."
"I can't admit defeat. Either I win, or I die."
"Then I die. You can't beat me anyway."
"No, I'm afraid of pain."
"I'll be very gentle."
"I'm afraid."
"Be good, just let me hit you."
"It'll hurt."
…
The groups that had been fighting in the nearby arenas looked at this scene strangely. Was it really appropriate to say such things here?
On the peak, Liu Xiaoyun glanced at Lu Yin strangely. "You guys from Astral-10 have quite the character."
Lu Yin felt awkward. "Coco is still young, still young, but she's very tough."
"Tough?" Kuang Wang was confused. "Tough how?"
Lu Yin pointed below. "Her innate talent is tough."
Kuang Wang looked down, and his eyes widened. "What's that?
A syringe? "
He wasn't the only one; Liu Xiaoyun and a few other student leaders were also attracted to the scene. Even more people were attracted to Coco, who was hugging a giant syringe and aiming it at the man who was about to attack her. She puffed up her cheeks. "Come on, let's stab each other."
The man was stunned. What was that?
Whoosh! Before the man could react, the needle had already pierced his body. Coco's eyes widened, and she quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so slow. You were clearly chasing after me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The man's face twitched, and he looked at Coco helplessly. He felt like his reputation had been ruined by this brat. He was probably the first person in history to be stabbed to death by a needle. He felt like he was facing countless disdainful gazes from the entire universe, and he really wanted to die.
As the man's body disappeared, Coco patted her chest and exhaled. She looked up at the peak and smiled sweetly.
Lu Yin smiled. This brat was very cute.
Coco's victory was unexpected. At this point, many people had already been eliminated from the tournament, but the most shocking battle was Tiankong Daynight's. No matter how he attacked, the youth in front of him was able to dodge.
The more they watched, the more they felt that something was off.
"That's strange. The Daynight clan's battle techniques are very strong, but that person's dodging is too smooth. It's like his body can instinctively dodge."
"Why does this reaction feel so familiar?
I think I've heard of it before. "
…
Suddenly, someone shouted, "It's Chaosgod Mountain! It's Chaosgod Mountain!"
Countless people were horrified as they looked at the youth. At this moment, he had easily dodged Tiankong Daynight's finger attack. Suddenly, he raised a hand and grabbed at Tiankong Daynight. This attack was not fast, but Tiankong Daynight could not dodge it in time and was caught by the youth. The next moment, Tiankong Daynight's entire body was smashed into the ground. The arena was instantly shattered, and Tiankong Daynight spat out a mouthful of blood. His pupils dilated, and a huge force almost pierced through him. However, this was not the end. He saw a black shadow in front of him, and in the next moment, he lost all of his strength. His vision turned dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already back at Astral-4's trial zone mountain.
Tiankong Daynight roared. He had made a mistake and been defeated in an instant. That person was from Chaosgod Mountain. That abnormal instinctive defense that could disrupt an opponent's breathing rhythm definitely belonged to Chaosgod Mountain. Those lunatics.
Outside the arena plains, Wu Da was so excited that he found it hard to breathe. Chaosgod Mountain? This is great! Another selling point! This is Chaosgod Mountain, one of the rulers of the Innerverse's darkness!
Within Astral-10's space station's spacecraft, Madam Nalan's eyes flashed. Even someone from Chaosgod Mountain had appeared, which meant that the Astral Combat Tournament had indeed attracted quite a number of freaks.
Out in the universe, countless people were at a loss. They did not know how Tiankong Daynight had been captured or how he had been killed so easily. It felt like all of this was fake.
Atop a high mountain, Lu Yin's expression was solemn. Chaosgod Mountain?
He had heard of them before, and their methods were truly terrifying. They had trained their disciples to have abnormal instinctive reflexes and the ability to disrupt an opponent's breathing rhythm. They had also trained their disciples to attack at full strength. This was Chaosgod Mountain. They had unimaginable reflexes for dodging attacks, and those who fought against them would either be crushed or not caught. Once caught, it would be game over.
Of the eight largest Flowzones in the Innerverse, one was called Chaos Flowzone. It was filled with the dark side of the universe, and Chaosgod Mountain was one of the overlords of that Chaos Flowzone.
Astral-3's leader, Nightqueen Yanqing, had an ugly expression on her face. Although Tiankong Daynight was from Astral-4, he was still a member of the Daynight clan. Yet, he had been beaten up by Chaosgod Mountain and used as a stepping stone for fame. This was unforgivable.
Astral-4's leader, Xue Liuyun, was still indifferent, but his eyes were fixed on the person from Chaosgod Mountain. That person's name was Cang Shi.
Not long after Tiankong Daynight's defeat, another Area Master died, causing everyone to cry out in alarm. The person who had killed the Area Master was Hart Phoenix, a Melder student. Although he was only a Melder, he had done something that had shaken the entire Astral Combat Academy.
"Phoenix?
I remember that there's also a Phoenix in the Ten Arbiters! "someone exclaimed, but he was immediately stopped by someone beside him." Do you want to die? You can't mention the names of the Ten Arbiters. They are supreme existences. "
