BXBX NOVEL Chapter 817: Good Draw
They could afford to lose.
But their defenses seemed somewhat breached.
As proud disciples of the Martial Extreme Dojo, were their attainments in the path of primordial soul origin inferior to their opponents?
Just as the Primordial Star had its unique origin intent of the Ancient Star and the origin intent of the Primeval Star, so too did it in the past.
What? Was the opponent's realm higher than theirs?
How did he cultivate it?
The primordial soul's high-dimensional heavenly path was the only one for Wei Yi in the Martial Worship Realm, and disciples of the Martial Extreme Dojo always took pride in it.
What did the eighth stage signify?
The Martial Saint glanced at the two High Dimension Lords he had brought along this time.
The most powerful among them, the Frenzy Master, was at the eighth stage.
The new High Dimensional Lord, Anning, was only at the seventh stage.
"What a waste!" the Martial Saint sighed.
Wang Ye was naturally a candidate destined to follow the primordial soul's high-dimensional heavenly path!
Such aptitude and insight had never been seen in the history of the Martial Extreme Dojo!
Not even at the Undying eighth stage, let alone the Eternal eighth stage!
"Alas." The Martial Saint sighed deeply.
It was said that choosing a master was important, but was choosing a pupil any less so?
If he could have Wang Ye as his pupil, the Martial Extreme Dojo would undoubtedly produce a second Supreme in the future, greatly enhancing its influence!
But alas, it was too late.
...
"Junior Brother, you..." Qi Qiqi was somewhat bewildered.
The victory came too easily, too suddenly!
She was still reeling from her recent defeat. Lost in thought, she sensed a subtle change in the hall and looked up...
Junior Brother had already won.
Caught off guard!
"We won, Senior Sister!" Without waiting for Fourth Senior Sister's reaction, Wang Ye embraced her tightly.
Hug after a hug!
He then moved on to embrace Nalan Lan.
Nalan Lan shifted her feet slightly and landed beside the Iceheart Master.
Her beautiful eyes couldn't hide her delight.
He won!
She had witnessed the entire battle.
It was a completely different feeling from overwhelming Mo Zongzhe!
Cheng Kai was much stronger!
However, the entire battle's momentum was still firmly under Junior Brother's control.
Though it seemed like he was going all out, in reality, he wasn't.
Junior Brother's power was unfathomable!
"May I ask you a question, Junior Brother?" Nalan Lan's beautiful eyes sparkled.
"Hmm?" Wang Ye blinked.
"How strong are you?" Nalan Lan asked, her lips pressed together.
Wang Ye pondered for a moment, then smiled. "I can take Iceheart Master's place."
Iceheart Master was confused by his words.
Nalan Lan felt a flutter in her heart.
If Wang Ye had said that earlier, she would have dismissed it as mere boasting.
But now...
Perhaps it was true!
Wait a minute!
He could consecutively defeat Mo Zongzhe and Cheng Kai.
Could Junior Brother now be... in the top ten of the "Human Prodigy Record"?
...
The Civilization Research Institute was in the main hall.
After two battles, Wang Ye's ranking had risen from beyond the top 100 in the "Human Prodigy Record" to eighth place!
Real combat was more reliable than all the data!
Wang Ye's strength was validated by the top experts of the human cosmic!
It was truly based on merit!
"For the first time in history, isn't this the first person in the 'Human Prodigy Record' to enter the top ten as an Undying level?"
"Yes, it's exceedingly rare for an Undying to enter the top 100, let alone the top 10. Wang Ye has set a new record!"
"Records may be fixed, but people are dynamic. I feel Wang Ye didn't even unleash his full power in the previous battle. He might unleash another burst in the next one! Who knows, his ranking might even rise again!"
"Rise again? Wouldn't that place him in the top five? That's too unbelievable! Is he truly that formidable?"
"We'll find out soon. Let's see who his next opponent will be."
The discussions were lively.
Wang Ye's renown was steadily increasing.
Previously, various faction powerhouses recognized him for his daring and his willingness to confront the Supreme Jiutian.
But now, it was his actual prowess and potential!
He might very well be the mightiest figure in the human cosmic to date.
An Undying Lifeform!
...
The gathering of elites at the Human Sanctuary reached a fever pitch in the competitions.
The battles between supreme factions across five levels captivated everyone's attention.
Especially at the Venerate level!
All eyes were on them.
The Primordial Star was undoubtedly the leader at this level.
Venerate Primeval, Venerate Ancient, Venerate Xuan, and Venerate Zhu Lu had all made their mark here.
And they all emerged victorious!
Venerate Bailuo's sword, Venerate Ancient's saber, and the profound heritage of the Primordial Star were all on display.
At the highest advanced rank of Sovereign Venerate, the Primordial Star had always been powerful enough to suppress other supreme factions!
"A solid foundation, the unique Primeval Star and the great path of the Ancient Star, high-level treasures, and the unparalleled cultivation environment of the Primal Chaos Star..." Wang Ye was well aware of the advantages of the Primordial Star.
Even with average talent and organic growth, the brilliance of the Primordial Star couldn't be concealed.
If it weren't for the second war between humans and devils, the Primordial Star would still be flourishing under the leadership of his teacher, dominating the human universe.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
"One day, I would take back the Primordial Star and restore its former glory." Wang Ye's greatest feeling when he participated in the Human Sanctuary's gathering of elites was a strong sense of crisis.
When you were strong, you found the people around you to be kind. But when you were weak, the world changed.
"Let's aim to take the top spot in the Human Prodigy Record first!" Wang Ye desired greater strength.
He wanted to visit the Tinder Tower in the Human Sanctuary to see if any opportunities awaited him.
While he had many opportunities in the Sky race, he didn't want to miss out on any possibilities in the human cosmic!
He wanted it all!
"Junior Brother!" Nalan Lan hurried over her expression complex.
"Has the opponent arrived?" Wang Ye inquired.
Nalan Lan lightly bit her lip and nodded.
"The Infinite World of Slaughter?" Wang Ye remarked.
"How did you know?" Nalan Lan was astonished.
Wang Ye chuckled. "If it's the Cosmic Bank, it's the best draw. Why do you look so surprised?"
"It could also be the human virtual cosmic," Nalan Lan suggested.
"In that case, we should despair," Wang Ye laughed.
The human virtual cosmic was exceedingly formidable.
The three teams composed of the top ten from the Human Prodigy Record won each match 3:0.
Moreover, Wei Yi, ranked first, led the way.
At this level, there was no room for contention.
"You seem quite content with the draw results." Nalan Lan observed. She was surprised.
"Yes," Wang Ye nodded. "The Cosmic Bank's strength is too evenly matched. Against them, our chances of reaching the final battle are slim."
"In contrast, the Infinite World of Slaughter only has two players in the top ten, so we might have a chance to compete," Wang Ye remarked.
The Cosmic Bank, led by the third-ranked Ba Wang, was composed of teammates ranked eighth and tenth, boasting evenly matched strength.
Though it would be difficult to win against either the human virtual cosmic or the Infinite World of Slaughter, they could at least hold their ground.
The situation was different from that of the Infinite World of Slaughter.
While they had the second-ranked Jiuwei Beilei and the sixth-ranked Pang Juan, they also had Lan Xiaoxiao, ranked fourteenth.
It was a chance for a challenge!
...
The Infinite World of Slaughter.
"Haha, what a great draw!" Pang Juan laughed heartily, filled with excitement.
Lan Xiaoxiao also smiled. "The human virtual cosmic and the Cosmic Bank must be furious. They're about to face off in the semifinals, leaving us to benefit."
"We should conserve some strength and save it for the showdown with the human virtual cosmic!" Pang Juan's fighting spirit surged.
"Agreed." Lan Xiaoxiao nodded. "The Cosmic Bank isn't weak. They can certainly put up a fight against the human virtual cosmic."
"Even luck seems to be on our side!" Pang Juan clenched his fists eagerly.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. Let's focus on defeating the Primordial Star first," Jiuwei Beilei cautioned. "Pang Juan, you'll lead the vanguard, and Xiaoxiao will follow."
"Why?" Pang Juan was puzzled. "We don't need to strategize against the Primordial Star, do we?"
"We need to conserve our strength," Jiuwei Beilei explained. "Qi Qiqi is a supreme pupil and excels in attacks. If there are any follow-ups, you'll be depleted. You're crucial for the finals, so we can't afford any mistakes."
"Understood!" Pang Juan nodded confidently.
...
"Fourth Senior Sister, you'll lead the charge," Wang Ye instructed.
"What?" Qi Qiqi exclaimed, wide-eyed.
Nalan Lan's gaze also turned towards them.
"If your opponent is Pang Juan, don't overextend yourself. Save some strength," Wang Ye advised. "But if it's Lan Xiaoxiao, go all out and unleash all your hidden cards!"
"Got it!" Qi Qiqi nodded. "I still have my bloodline yet to unleash!"
"Okay." Wang Ye confirmed, then turned to Nalan Lan. "If your opponent is Lan Xiaoxiao, you must win."
"Do you think they'll change their strategy?" Nalan Lan inquired.
"It's possible," Wang Ye replied. "Jiuwei Beilei is quite cunning. She likes to keep a trick up her sleeve. Though she's confident in her victory, she might switch the vanguard and backbone positions."
Swoosh!
The screen in the duel space lit up swift.ly.
A clear list of combatants from both sides was displayed.
"You guessed right," Nalan Lan said, looking at Wang Ye with her beautiful eyes.
"Guessing right doesn't matter," Wang Ye responded. "The key is whether you can defeat Lan Xiaoxiao. She's ranked higher than you."
"If I win..." Nalan Lan trailed off, looking at Wang Ye. "Can we make it to the finals?"
"We can," Wang Ye affirmed resolutely.
...
"The Infinite World of Slaughter got lucky, huh?"
"Haha, we're up against the Primordial Star. We even drew Venerate Ancient in the battle of the strongest Venerates!"
"The strongest Venerate might not win, but it's not a problem for disciples with potential. It's like picking on the weak."
"Don't say that. Wang Ye isn't weak."
"But the other two teammates aren't up to par. Even if Wang Ye is strong, can he be stronger than Jiuwei Beilei? If this match doesn't end at 3:0, it'll be considered luck for the Primordial Star!"
Amidst the heated discussions, the two supreme factions began their battle directly!
Pang Juan, ranked sixth, swiftly defeated Qi Qiqi with an overwhelming advantage.
The gap between them was substantial.
"It's alright," Wang Ye reassured his fourth senior sister, then turned to Nalan Lan.
Nalan Lan had to win this battle!
Otherwise, even if he defeated Jiuwei Beilei, they wouldn't make it to the finals.
He hadn't had the chance to fight Wei Yi. To claim first place in the Human Prodigy Record, he'd have to wait for Wei Yi to ascend to the High Dimension Lord.
It had been too long.
This time, with the gathering of elites at the Human Sanctuary, he was determined to reach the top!
"Good!" Wang Ye instinctively clenched his fists.
He watched Nalan Lan exert all her strength, willing to do whatever it took.
She trusted him immensely!
Fight with everything you have!
The auras of both sides were vastly different.
Their strengths were evenly matched.
It was a test of whose willpower was stronger and who performed better in the moment!
This battle belonged to Nalan Lan.
With her back against the wall, she finally defeated Lan Xiaoxiao, leaving the suspense of the semi-finals to the end.
The climax of the battle!
"Next...I'm relying on you," Nalan Lan said weakly.
"Don't worry," Wang Ye said gently as he hugged her and entrusted her to Fourth Senior Sister.
"I will win!"
