Chapter 1663 - Seventeen-Year-Old Shenwu Yin

"If Ying and Yanwu Ming are strong enough to enter the top ten, then I should be able to survive here." Instead of remaining in one place, Tianming chose to take the initiative to attack. Without Yin Chen to open up his field of vision, he could only rely on himself. In this battlefield that was comparable in size to the Azurecloud Continent, there were only about a hundred people. He wouldn’t be discovered as long as he stayed low.

"However, it’s different from the Astralium Battlefield, which involves a confrontation between the two sides. Here, all hundred and eight contestants are enemies. When fighting, I must be wary of others, especially groups of people who might target me." Those who exposed themselves would become prey, and those that remained hidden would be hunters. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Every step they took would be filled with peril.

"It’ll be quite difficult to find prey before any red names appear." Tianming stealthily moved across this metallic continent. The scene before him resembled a steel jungle. In fact, a large part of this star were metal mines. "If I could get to the actual Astralium, Yin Chen would be able to start eating." He was still unaccustomed to the gravity being exerted on his body at all times. It took a lot of effort to even move one leg, let alone use a battle art. There seemed to be a great mountain of diamonds on every albus in his body.

After quietly walking for more than two hours, Tianming finally got used to it. Ahead of him was another steel jungle, deathly still. He had yet to see the ends of the earth since landing here.

"Aside from the top ten rewards, there’s also treasures in the Astralium Seeking." It was a pity that he couldn’t locate them with his eyes alone. Never mind treasures, there wasn’t even a single person in sight. The Astralium Seeking had just begun, so most people were still exploring and staying hidden. The only movement in this world was an occasional breeze that swept across the sand that resembled metal fragments. Hidden all over this star were a hundred and eight fiery hearts, hungry for battle.

"Although everyone’s hiding, the flames in their hearts must have already been ignited." Narrowing his gaze, Tianming walked along an underground river. The river had been dry for a long time, and the ground under his feet was riddled with holes. It seemed like Astralium was breaking apart. If it wasn't for fear of making too much noise, he wanted to dig into the earth and see inside the star.

Just then, there was movement in the sky. Tianming rushed out of the river channel and emerged on the surface. When he looked up, a dazzling white light soared into the sky and exploded like fireworks, turning into a dazzling name.

"Number 108: Whitechalk Star, Bai Feng."

The words remained for about ten breaths before dissipating. Darkness and silence returned; all contestants on Astralium must have seen the name.

"Sister Feng?" Tianming was dumbfounded.

There were a total of a hundred and eight people here, so what did it mean? She had become the first one to be eliminated in the Astralium Seeking.

"I worked so hard to bring you here. The least you could do is hold on for a while more and make it to the top one hundred." Tianming helplessly smiled. However, he was happy for Bai Feng because she no longer had to tremble in fear and her achievements were enough for the elders of Whitechalk Star to hand her numerous rewards. Ying’s interest in her also meant a good future for her.

Bai Feng’s elimination was merely a brief interlude. An hour later, another name shot into the sky. The hundred and seventh place was determined following yet another death. Tianming had grown accustomed to this.

"Astralium Seeking... the word 'seeking' is very interesting. It could refer to treasure or perhaps the game of hide and seek we’re all playing. So who’ll I catch?" An entire day had passed without encountering anyone. It was clear that killing an opponent within three days would be a challenge in itself.

One by one, names shot into the sky. There were less than a hundred people left.

"Although I have to hurry, I shouldn’t be anxious." Once anxiety set in, his heart would be turbulent. Taking a deep breath, he released Ying Huo and Meow Meow. They could stay small and hunt for prey with him as long as they remained within communication range. With their dexterity, it was unlikely anyone on this star could kill them the moment they were discovered.

......

The second day, a little after midnight.

"Little Li, come here. I’ve found you a little girl!" Ying Huo said sneakily

"Meow Meow." After joining up with Meow Meow, Tianming quietly approached Ying Huo’s position, keeping their movements small.

"Where is she?" Upon arriving, Tianming and Ying Huo lay on the side of the mountain. A deep ravine covered in black mist lay before their eyes.

"She just went down. It's a little girl. She looks like one of the faceless," Ying Huo said, its expression vague.

"What’s with that look?" Tianming asked.

Ying Huo laughed.

"You should take some supplements for that brain of yours." Tianming rolled his eyes, focusing on the ravine in front of him. His prey might disappear if he didn’t keep his eyes on her. Following Ying Huo’s directions, Tianming quietly approached her. Meanwhile, Ying Huo and Meow Meow transformed back into tattoos and returned to him. Entering the ravine, Tianming furtively moved amid the black mist.

At the end of the first three days, there'll be numerous rednames that failed to kill anyone. It's already been a day, which means that it’ll be lively in two days. I must space out my kills to avoid the wave of rednames during that time. It’ll be perfect if I can make my first kill now. If he were to wait until the end of the three day period, he could make full use of the time, but it also meant more risk. Tianming was experienced enough to know that finding hidden prey was difficult and required luck.

Like a lion in the grassland, Tianming slowly approached his prey. The other party was obviously extremely careful as well; his only advantage was the fact that she didn’t know she had revealed herself. A little further into the ravine, Tianming heard movement.

There’s someone here! Judging by the sound, she wasn’t far from him. Very quickly, Tianming laid eyes on her. In this dark and foggy ravine, a short figure hid close to the side of the mountain wall. She was partially hidden in the darkness, her back turned to Tianming, unaware of his existence.

He saw her name: Skyway Bistar, Shenwu Yin.
