When Tian Hou saw Starsibyl enter the arena, he raised his body slightly. This woman was his opponent.
In the west, Yun from the Technocracy glanced at Starsibyl. This woman gave her a very strange feeling. How should she put it?
Starsibyl's opponent was called Yar Patel, and he was a participant from the Technocracy. He was not in human form, but rather a wolf-shaped machine. He followed Yun around like a docile puppy.
In front of their screens, countless people were enraged. Starsibyl's opponent was actually that arrogant woman's pet! Many people could not accept this.
Yun sneered; these people were not even worthy of being her pet.
Starsibyl herself did not care much, and she quietly watched the wolf-shaped machine walk into the arena in admiration. Her body suddenly moved to the left, and in the next instant, a sharp mechanical claw pierced through the void. Yar Patel's body appeared and pierced through the void while the original Yar Patel gradually disappeared.
This was extreme speed, and it even surpassed Hua Yishou's. Countless people were shocked, as they could not even tell that Yar Patel had moved.
Even Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. What incredible speed! However, what shocked him even more was that Starsibyl had dodged. No, she had not dodged, but had instead taken a step forward. How had she done it?
It was not just Lu Yin; countless people were confused. They were shocked by Yar Patel's speed, but they were even more confused as to how Starsibyl had managed to dodge.
Yar Patel's attack had missed, and he turned around to attack again. However, before he could do anything, lightning flickered around his body and he exploded. His body then disappeared from the Lifeseek Realm.
Everyone was silent, including those who were watching the battle from their screens. Zenyu Star, East San Dios, the various great powers of the Innerverse, and the Sword Sect were all shocked. Yar Patel had been defeated, and he had been defeated in a baffling manner. No one had even seen Starsibyl make a move, but if she had not, then how had Yar Patel been defeated?
Yun from the Technocracy had a solemn expression, and her gaze changed as she stared at Starsibyl, deep in thought.
Tian Hou took a step forward and raised his body once more. "The power of divination is reserved for attacks. This is the Starsibyl Sect."
Everyone was shocked by Starsibyl's performance, including Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had never believed in divination, but at this moment, he was at a loss. Yar Patel's speed was so fast that even Lu Yin had not been able to see through it. If it had been Lu Yin, he would have had to endure the attack, but Starsibyl had dodged in advance. If this was not a divination, then what was it?
Furthermore, Lu Yin had not been able to discern how she had defeated Yar Patel. Just like in the previous Astral Combat Tournament, this woman had always won mysteriously, but her victories had always been shocking.
"Fifth match, Starsibyl, victory."
Countless people were shocked. Starsibyl?
She was Starsibyl?
It wasn't just the outside world; many students of the Astral Combat Academy did not know that she was Starsibyl.
Regardless of how shocked the outside world was, Starsibyl calmly walked out of the battlefield and smiled at Lu Yin. Her gaze was gentle, but Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine. Divination, this mysterious ability … Did it really exist?
What was her method of attack?
With his control over his domain, he couldn't see it at all. He could only see it with the support of Sirius and the Giant Emperor's third eye. If he was Yar Patel, how could he fight?
Many people were pondering the same question. How could they fight Starsibyl?
How?
This was unsolvable!
While everyone was still immersed in their shock, the next battle had already begun. It was between the Cosmic Sea's Zi Jun and the Astral Beast Domain's Embermane.
The students of Astral-7 were the most familiar with Embermane. Not only had he defeated Dai Ao, but he had also defeated Astral-7's leader, Liu Xiaoyun, which had greatly shocked Astral-7.
On the other hand, Zi Jun had an ordinary appearance, and no one knew much about her strength. They only knew that she represented the Cosmic Sea.
The two representatives of the Cosmic Sea who had participated in the Tournament of the Strongest had been defeated one after the other. Like Liu Shaoqiu, she had joined later.
In many people's opinion, although Zi Jun's strength was unknown, she should not be Embermane's match. After all, Embermane had easily defeated Liu Xiaoyun. However, the current battle had exceeded everyone's expectations. Against Embermane's flames that could melt anything, Zi Jun was actually able to handle them with ease.
Lu Yin was puzzled. This movement technique seemed very familiar, as if she had been training in the ocean for many years. Silus from the Cosmic Sea had also used this movement technique. Could this woman really be from the Cosmic Sea?
The most depressed of all was Embermane. He believed that his flames could burn anything, even the void. However, every time he attacked the woman in front of him, he was blocked by a formless green light. It was very strange that he could not break through.
With a whoosh, Embermane lashed out with his tail and viciously swatted it at Zi Jun. He wanted to change his attack method.
In his previous battle with Dai Ao, Embermane's tail had been able to force Dai Ao back, but against Zi Jun, he could not even make her move. A shockwave spread out from the point of collision, tearing apart the earth and shattering the clouds. Zi Jun's hands turned green and flashed through a strange path as they slammed into Embermane's body, sending him flying.
Embermane turned his body around in midair, causing an incomparable scorching heat to spread throughout the void. Countless sparks flickered, and it was as if another sun had appeared between heaven and earth.
Many students felt helpless. Previously, it had been cold, but now, it was scorching hot, and they were unable to resist it. This was a power that had reached the peak of the Limiteer realm, and it was too terrifying.
Embermane's eyes flickered with flames, and he opened his mouth. A wisp of flame pierced through the void and shot towards Zi Jun.
In the distance, Liu Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat. This wisp of flame had melted her sword and battle technique, almost burning her to death.
On the other side, Jared from the Blaze Realm was shocked. How was this possible?
He could not be more familiar with this wisp of flame. This was the flame that activated his inherited battle technique, the Karmic Flame Sword. Why did this flame mink have it as well?
Zi Jun's expression changed slightly in the face of this extreme flame that could incinerate everything. She seemed to exclaim in surprise as she took a step forward with her right foot. A dark green light spread out from her body and dispersed the scorching heat. In an instant, everyone felt as if the world had changed, and the battlefield had transformed into a dark green jade.
Starsibyl, Lu Yin, Tian Hou, and the rest all changed. Many of the powerhouses in the audience, including Liu Xiaoyun, Kuang Wang, and the rest, were overwhelmed with shock. This was a forcefield. Only those who had comprehended a domain to a certain extent could display a forcefield that could change the natural environment of the world. This woman was currently the strongest domain expert.
In front of their screens, the spectators from the various great powers were similarly shocked. How powerful was this woman to be able to display her own domain's forcefield while still in the Limiteer realm?
Embermane's flames were frozen by Zi Jun with a single hand, and then they really did turn into jade. They fell to the ground, lifelike and lifelike, like a dusty sourcebox.
Everyone was shocked, but no one spoke as they stared at the scene.
Embermane's pupils shrank as he stared in shock. His flames had actually been frozen into jade. Even though he could not display the true might of his flames as a Limiteer, they were not something that could be casually frozen. This woman … Embermane was still immersed in shock when a dark green jade hand appeared in front of him. Then, Embermane lost consciousness as he too was frozen into jade.
This was an innate gift that could turn everything into jade. This was Zi Jun's strength, and she was able to release her own forcefield and change the environment. She was the only one who had been able to do so, and she far surpassed the various powerhouses who had clashed with their domains during the Astral Combat Tournament.
"Sixth match, Zi Jun, victory."
Zi Jun calmly stood there and looked up. Her gaze swept across everyone. "My name is Zi Jun, and I come from the Cosmic Sea. I'm from the Longevity Squadron."
As soon as she spoke, countless people were shocked. The Longevity Squadron was a title reserved for the Cosmic Sea's Four Pirate Squadrons. The Four Pirate Squadrons were the four squadrons that dominated the Cosmic Sea, and the Longevity Squadron was one of them.
Lu Yin was astonished. Was this woman really from the Cosmic Sea? Was she from the Longevity Squadron?
Her strength far surpassed Silus's, and more importantly, she was about the same age as Lu Yin and the others. Silus, who had fought against Lu Yin earlier, was much older than Silus. Strictly speaking, they weren't from the same generation, but this woman was.
This was the true power of the Cosmic Sea's top powerhouses.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of Ye Xingchen. That person's strength definitely surpassed this woman's, as he was a publicly recognized Ten Arbiters' candidate.
There was only one match left in the first round, and the two competitors were Tian Hou from the Astral Beast Astral Domain and Ben from the Technocracy.
Both of them were very eye-catching. Tian Hou was wrapped in a black robe that obscured his appearance, while Ben was even stranger. Just like his name, he looked like a book that floated in all directions. These two matches piqued the interest of many, and their attention was temporarily drawn away from Starsibyl's and Zi Jun's battles.
Very few people knew that the black-robed Tian Hou was the strongest participant from the Astral Beast Astral Domain, but Ben knew. It wasn't because he understood the Astral Beast Astral Domain, but because Yun had told him before the battle, "You're not his match." Just those five words had convinced Ben that he was no match for Tian Hou.
Outside the arena, Starsibyl, Yun, and Lu Yin all looked at Tian Hou with serious expressions. This fellow was very strong, and even someone as arrogant as Yun treated him differently, just like how she viewed Starsibyl.
Among the spectating students, one of them turned pale when he saw Tian Hou. He was a student from Astral-7 who had mocked Tian Hou before, but Tian Hou had only glanced at him and caused him to collapse. Now, he was traumatized, and he didn't even dare to look at the arena.
Tian Hou did not make the first move, and he just quietly faced Ben.
Ben was swaying in the air, his large eyes extremely alert as strange undulations flashed around him.
To the east, Lu Yin softly asked, "What's so strong about that Tian Hou?"
"I've already said that I don't know. I know how strong or weak all the students from the Spiritual Academy are, but I can't find anything about this Tian Hou. He's Skymender's disciple, and that alone makes him comparable to Starsibyl. As for his true body, we don't know."
Lu Yin looked at the arena. At this moment, Ben made the first move. Actually, it wasn't a move, as it was more like a book that had no hands or legs. It only released undulations that unknowingly covered the entire battlefield.
One student curiously reached out to touch the screen that the mentors had set up to isolate the battlefield. When he touched the undulations, he was so terrified that he started bleeding from all his orifices, and he immediately left the Lifeseek Realm.
"It's an illusion! Don't touch the screen!" someone shouted.
Everyone's scalp went numb. Illusions were a very terrifying means of attack. They were invisible and hard to avoid. Even if many people were powerful, they would still be helpless in the face of illusions. This kind of people was the majority. Most people would have a kind of fear in the face of illusions.
