Chapter 509 - Chapter 509: Seventy-Two Heaven Halls
Chapter 509: Seventy-Two Heaven Halls
Wang Ye’s expression soured.
He felt like luck hadn’t been on his side since the latter part of the first round.
In the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss, he encountered Wen Rou right from the start.
In the 72 Heaven Halls, he came across Dongse Ziyu again.
This person was ruthless, capable of escaping even when facing Wen Rou and Ji Mengni together!
The Static World was activated.
The bell rang, and the battle commenced.
Wang Ye brandished his dual blades, launching rapid attacks.
Fortunately, he was no longer the inexperienced fighter he once was.
After three years of cultivation, his strength had greatly improved, and he was familiar with Dongse Ziyu’s fighting style.
She was indeed formidable.
But he was not weak either!
He executed the Reincarnation Slash Saber Technique, causing the pressure within his internal world to erupt!
The white origin of thunder and the blue origin of lightning blossomed simultaneously, The black flames of the Hellfire Devil Blade illuminated the sky, while the sharpness of the Flowing Light Wing Blade tore through everything!
It was a clash!
Who was afraid of whom?
Wang Ye’s battle intent boiled.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two sides exchanged blows swiftly, catching Dongse Ziyu somewhat off guard.
In their previous encounters, Wang Ye hadn’t displayed such strong melee attack abilities. He had merely excelled in timing.
Defeating Wang Ye should have been an easy task.
But now…
Wang Ye’s melee attacks were so formidable that he could match her?
Humph!” Dongse Ziyu snorted as the ring in her hand emitted a bright light augmenting her attack power!
The light of the nine stages of dark power shone brightly, and the aurora element appeared perfectly. Her technique had reached its peak, directly aiming at the path of light synthesis!
Chi, chi, chi!
The holy sword radiated intensely as the cosmic secret was unleashed.
Forming its realm, it resisted the constraints of the Static World.
The sword technique merged into one, piercing through the restrictions of lightning and striking towards Wang Ye.
Sole Will Spell!
Battle Spirit Spell!
Wang Ye unleashed her ability spell.
Dongse Ziyu didn’t possess Chi Xuan’s formidable physical body. Her close combat relied on technique, and she had attained the Undying level of the path.
Given this, Wang Ye decided to counter her with absolute physical strength!
After all, he was a hexagonal warrior!
All aspects of strengthening, every aspect had extraordinary attainments!
Combined with the Dark Crystal Spell at the seventh stage and the Super Body Spell at the eighth stage, Wang Ye’s physical strength instantly surpassed Dongse Ziyu by a large margin.
Swoosh! He split into two!
The Clone Spell at the sixth stage was cast, and just like the newly cast ability spell, the clone also possessed the ability.
Even at 60% of his full combat prowess, he couldn’t be underestimated at this moment!
Boom!
One-Hit Spell activated!
Unleashing devastation!
As his Hellfire Devil Blade merged with the Sole Will Spell, the second layer of the cosmic secret lit up!
Even when facing Dongse Ziyu’s supreme-grade treasure, he showed no fear.
The Flowing Light Wing Blade gleamed brilliantly, and the nine layers of dark power vibrated continuously!
He hid her strength in the seventh prison?!” Dongse Ziyu was shocked and a little furious, feeling underestimated.
Her battle armor glowed, protecting her and negating Wang Ye’s attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The holy sword clashed with a resounding clang.
Dongse Ziyu shouted, her blood seemingly igniting, boosting her speed, strength, and willpower, and significantly increasing her combat prowess.
Top-rank bloodline: Qi of Dongheng!
Wang Ye was equally formidable. The Time Cage was instantly deployed, revealing the domain of time.
Break!” Dongse Ziyu’s holy sword shone brightly, and rhe third cosmic secret lit up!
Shining at the center of the brow, the path of photosynthesis condensed into swordsmanship, unstoppable.
Destroy!11 Wang Ye activated the Time Cage.
As it shattered, the complexities of time compressed rapidly.
The blue origin of lightning surged wildly, and Wang Ye’s full combat prowess erupted!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosive force cracked Dongse Ziyu’s top-grade supreme treasure armor.
Enhanced by the Qi of Dongheng, Dongse Ziyu retaliated furiously against Wang Ye’s clone.
Their internal worlds clashed fiercely, causing the environment to collapse.
After a fierce battle, they separated.
How about we stop?” Wang Ye gauged their relative strengths.
I’m going to kill you!” Dongse Ziyu’s eyes blazed with rage, her holy sword vibrating violently.
Killing me won’t help. This isn’t just a points competition. You’re smarter than that,” Wang Ye replied.
Really?” Dongse Ziyu suddenly stopped, her holy sword no longer vibrating.
Wang Ye was shocked upon hearing her words.
What did I say? How come this person suddenly listened?
Oh!
Yes, you’re so smart. You should know what’s best for yourself!” Wang Ye said.
Dongse Ziyu’s expression softened slightly. She steadied her left forearm on her chest and touched her chin with her fingers, contemplating for a moment before hesitantly asking, “A mission?”
With whom?” Wang Ye hinted, “Your partner Nong Bi is gone.
Dongse Ziyu’s face stiffened instantly, and her holy sword rang out again as she pointed it at Wang Ye. “It’s you who killed Nong Bi!”
It was elimination, temporary elimination!” Wang Ye quickly corrected her, “It’s normal for someone like him, who’s not as skilled, to be eliminated. You being so smart, shouldn’t be affected.”
Dongse Ziyu nodded in agreement. “That’s true. That guy was always full of herself and had a foul mouth. Just because she graduated from the Cosmic N0.1 Academy, she thought she was invincible! She deserved to be eliminated!
It’s fate,” Wang Ye said seriously. “Don’t you think he dragged you down in the first half of the competition?”
Did he?” Dongse Ziyu asked doubtfully.
Yes. Weren’t you ranked 13th in the first round?” Wang Ye reminded her.
Yes,” Dongse Ziyu confirmed.
And what about now?” Wang Ye inquired.
379th,” Dongse Ziyu admitted quietly.
So, it’s not about your ability, it’s about choosing the wrong partner,” Wang
Ye concluded.
Really?” Dongse Ziyu felt a bit uneasy but couldn’t pinpoint why.
We learn through challenges. Why don’t we team up?” Wang Ye suggested. “I ranked 100th in the first round and third in the first half of the second round. I believe we could make a great team.”
Wen Rou and Ji Mengni are both highly ranked. You’re also outstanding, Dongse Ziyu acknowledged.
You’re outstanding too. You just had a setback with your previous partner Wang Ye reassured her.
Is that so?” Dongse Ziyu felt a bit dazed by the praise. After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Wang Ye and asked, “Do you think I’m dumb?
Of course not
Wang Ye chuckled. “You’re much smarter than me.
Extending her hand, Wang Ye smiled. “It would be an honor to be your partner.”
Alright,” Dongse Ziyu smiled back, giving him a fist bump.
It felt good to be valued by someone!
Wang Ye felt relieved. Although Dongse Ziyu wasn’t as gentle as Wen Rou, she seemed trustworthy and was an improvement over Nong Bi.
That was enough.
The first thing a partner looked at was character.
Next was strength.
Dongse Ziyu had both, it was the best choice.
Wang Ye was very satisfied.
After all, a perfect partner like Wen Rou was hard to find.
Let’s take a look at the world panel first. I’ll help you guard it,” Wang Ye said.
Alright.
In the virtual human cosmic, everyone was stunned for a moment.
This was especially true for the cosmic citizens of the Dongheng Eternal Nation, who were all staring at each other in shock.
Was she turning hostility into friendship so quickly?
Wouldn’t Nong Bi be unfairly eliminated?
What else could they do? Fight to the death? Didn’t you see that Dongse Ziyu didn’t have much of an advantage? If they fought with all their might, who knows who would be eliminated?” someone speculated.
Wang Ye is right. She’s a very good partner. The points ranking in the first half of the competition is enough to explain everything. In my opinion, Dongse Ziyu is lucky. With Wang Ye leading her, she might be able to catch up in the second half of the competition,” another voice chimed in.
That’s true, but I feel like Dongse Ziyu has already been fooled by Wang Ye to the point where she doesn’t even know who she is. It feels like she’s been cheated and still wants to help him count money,” another person added.
Haha, I think so too, Wang Ye has a way with women
someone chuckled.
Meanwhile, Wang Ye was deep in thought, studying the rules.
The contents of the world panel were similar to the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss.
The layout remained the same, with three large sections.
On the left was the ranking of the first selection world, clearly visible.
She was still firmly in third place, narrowly surpassing Dongheng Wanyi,
Above the middle section was the information bar.
[First Degree: Lingbing Hall.]
[Contestants: 5894/60000]
[Time Limit: 179-99-]
The Lingbing Hall was one of the 72 Heaven Halls.
The one degree was most likely the lowest level.
The number of participants was a little small.
She had seen the leaderboard before. There were 12,434 contestants eliminated in the first half.
In other words, there were 47,566 participants left.
However, there were only 5,943 people in Lingbing Hall, which was 12.494% of the total population, which was about one-eighth of the total population.
So, the 72 Heaven Halls are no longer like the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss, swarming into the first prison to start the competition.” Wang Ye calculated in his mind. “Instead, they’re divided into eight Heaven Halls like the Lingbing Hall, spreading out.”
What’s the intention behind this?
He continued reading.
The mission panel was very clear.
[1: Leave the 72 Heavens.]
[2: Ascend to the Ninth Degree.]
[3: Kill an expert of the sky race.]
[4: Complete the test of the 72 Heaven Halls.]
Four missions.
It was completely different from the missions in the first half.
These four missions were not just for the Lingbing Hall but for the entire 72 Heaven Halls.
It wasn’t the only mission either. There was a high chance that Dongse Ziyu’s mission was the same as hers.
In other words, everyone could complete them and compete for points with different completion levels.
Instead of calling them missions, it was more like four ways to obtain points.
Wang Ye fell into deep thought.
Currently, there was very little information.
The first and second missions, how to leave the 72 Heaven Halls and how to ascend to the ninth degree, were still unclear,
The only thing he could confirm was that the third and fourth missions were simple and clear.
However, it seemed that the points obtained from them were not as good as the previous two,
Wang Ye continued reading.
Wang Ye shifted his gaze to the points exchange column on the right.
The items available for exchange hadn’t changed, but the prices had.
[Energy Replenishment Potion: 1 million points.]
[Near-Death Recovery Potion: 10 million points.]
[Location: 500,000 points]
[Full Map: 5 million points.]
Oh?
The potion prices had doubled.
On the contrary, the map location price had halved.
Slightly startled, Wang Ye recalled the notification he received when he entered the first selection world.
I see.” Wang Ye smiled.
He almost understood.
Suddenly, he heard Dongse Ziyu’s voice.
The dazzling sword light enveloped him!
