This villain is too popular.

Chapter 35 Star Source Awakening
'Holy crap! That's high-class!'

'You're the challenger. Wow, Lao Tian, ​​so confident?'

'Can you win, Laotian?'

Looking at the scene, one sees the Heavenly Way declaring victory.

The audience at the 13 stations in the real world did not question it.

On the contrary, everyone felt that these words were very much in line with the spirit of the Way of Heaven.

After all, from the very first episode of "Ember of the Stars," the Heavenly Dao had left a deep impression on them, making them the impression of a born strongman.

This preconceived notion dictates that Heaven can die, but it absolutely cannot lose.

Especially, you can't lose like a clown.

Because once Heaven loses, its image collapses.

In the world of stars, gazing at the arrogant Heavenly Dao, the Coral Knight's expression slowly turned solemn beneath his helmet.

Am I the challenger?

He reached behind him and slowly took down the shell-shaped heavy shield that he had been carrying on his back, which was a full two meters tall.

boom!
As the heavy shield landed, the hard concrete surface of the parking lot instantly cracked, clearly unable to withstand the shield's astonishing weight.

Despite carrying such a heavy shield, Coral Knight always kept it on his back and moved around freely.

This shows just how extraordinary his physique is.

The Coral Knight held his shield in both hands and calmly looked at the Heavenly Dao not far away.

“Kid, then let me, your challenger, see what you’re capable of.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Coral Knight raised his heavy shield and then slammed it down.

boom!
With his forceful slam, several sharp coral spikes instantly embedded themselves in the ground and began to spread rapidly toward the Heavenly Dao like vines.

Faced with these fiercely attacking coral spikes.

The Heavenly Dao showed no sign of trying to avoid it; on the contrary, it stood motionless in place.

Finally, when the numerous coral spikes reached within five meters of Tiandao.

Tiandao stepped forward with his right foot.

boom!
The hard cement ground shattered into countless fragments under the step of the Heavenly Dao.

Amidst the flying debris, three large, intact boulders, each a meter tall, rose from the ground.

The suddenly erected stone, like a wall that appeared out of nowhere, stood between the Coral Knight's coral spikes and the Heavenly Dao.

Ordinary cement blocks are naturally no match for the star energy coral condensed by the second-level star envoy coral knight.

In the blink of an eye, those erected, black cement walls...

Just like tofu, it was easily sliced ​​open by the Coral Knight's Star Energy Coral, and then it rushed towards the Heavenly Dao behind the stone wall.

Surprisingly, these speed techniques, even with the exceptionally sharp-tipped Star Energy Coral, ultimately failed to penetrate at the last moment.

The Heavenly Dao, which had been standing behind the stone wall, vanished instantly when the Star Energy Coral broke through the wall.

"Hey, uncle, what era are we living in? You're still playing these little tricks of testing each other."

"Be serious, or you'll lose badly."

In mid-air, the vanished figure of the Heavenly Dao suddenly appeared above the Coral Knight's head like a ghost.

Coral Knight's pupils contracted sharply, clearly not noticing when the Heavenly Dao disappeared and when it reappeared.

But his fighting instincts allowed Coral Knight to react instantly.

He raised the large seashell shield high, covering his entire body with it, assuming a fully defensive stance.

In response, Tiandao unleashed a powerful whip kick that whistled through the air, slamming it heavily onto the Coral Knight's shield.

boom!
The force of Tiandao's kick was far greater than anyone could have imagined.

Not only did it generate a visible shockwave the moment it hit the shell shield, but it also created a shockwave that was visible to the naked eye.

This forced the Coral Knight, a two-meter-tall Star Envoy of the Strength Rank 2, who was clad in heavy coral armor, to retreat three or four steps in order to absorb the force.

Furthermore, with each step the Coral Knight took backward, a small crack would immediately appear in the concrete ground beneath his feet.

After leaving four small craters in a row, the Coral Knight, having released its strength, finally managed to stand firmly.

At the same time, after delivering this kick, Tiandao did not rush to launch an attack.

He landed lightly, then brushed the pebbles off his shoulders as if he hadn't been fighting at all, but just playing with the Coral Knight.

On one side is the Heavenly Dao, which appears calm and unhurried.

On one side was the Coral Knight, retreating repeatedly with a serious expression.

Without a doubt, in this first exchange, the level 2 Coral Knight was completely outmatched, both in terms of results and momentum.

This result undoubtedly shocked viewers outside the dimensional screen.

'Good heavens, they've even changed the map, how come Laotian is still so powerful?'

'Is it scientifically sound for Level 1 to kick out Level 2?'

'Although neither side has really gone all out yet, judging from the scene, this older man is definitely the challenger.'

Meanwhile, seeing Coral Knight suffer a setback in a single encounter, Yunmeng, who had been watching the show with a smile in the distance, finally couldn't help but tease, "Coral, I've already told you that Tiandao is different from the others."

"If you continue to hold back and don't take this seriously, the result of this test might really be just as Xiao Tiandao said, leaving you utterly humiliated."

Coral Knights remained unmoved by Yunmeng's teasing.

He slowly stood up and easily lifted the large shell shield that was already half a meter embedded in the ground.

Unlike at the beginning when he held the shield with both hands, the Coral Knight had now switched to holding it with one hand.

As for his free right hand, he took out a one-meter-tall cross-hook harpoon from behind his back and aimed it at the Heavenly Dao not far away.

"Kid, be careful, I'm about to get serious."

Tiandao shrugged indifferently: "It should have been done a long time ago."

Although it was only suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.

But Coral Knight was in a better mood than ever before.

He knew that the stronger the Heavenly Dao was currently displaying, the safer the young lady's life would be in the academy.

But if Heaven can truly defeat me when I go all out.

That means he will no longer have to worry about the young lady's life at the academy.

Therefore, the Coral Knight was never afraid of the Heavenly Dao being strong; he was only afraid that the Heavenly Dao was not strong enough.

Sincerity is always the most powerful weapon.

Facing the honest and simple Coral Knight.

Even though his opponent is the current most popular star, Tiandao Siming.

But instead of developing a dislike for him, the audience actually became somewhat of a fan.

"To be honest, aside from the main characters, every supporting character in this anime series, 'All Stars,' is quite distinctive. I especially like this older man."

'This is the true character a knight should possess!'

Why do I suddenly feel like Heaven is the villain?

Meanwhile, Coral Knight became completely serious.

His star energy level began to rise at a visible rate.

It didn't stop until it reached a full 2100 points.

In addition, the tiny, sharp coral spikes on the Coral Knight's body turned into an eerie purple during this process.

It clearly contains a significant amount of toxins.

"Oh? So you're finally willing to use your awakened ability as a Level Two Star Envoy?"

Seeing the Coral Knight become completely serious, Yunmeng changed her previous languidness and became slightly interested.

After all, if he doesn't take it seriously, this so-called 'test' will really end in a boring and overwhelming way.

Through her words, the audience outside the dimensional screen finally understood how the distinction between 'Level Two Star Envoy' and 'Level One Star Envoy' was made.

It turns out that the so-called 1000 basic star energy points of a Level 2 Star Envoy are just one of the thresholds to becoming a Level 2 Star Envoy.

If a Level 1 Star Envoy wants to truly cross the threshold of Level 2...

In addition to meeting the basic star energy value of '1000 points', they also need to...

Another condition must be met, which is the 'awakening' of the Star Source.

One awakening is enough to become a Level 2 Star Envoy.

The second awakening is the third-level star envoy.

A third awakening equals a level four Star Envoy.

Therefore, don't be fooled by the seemingly simple ranking system among Star Envoys.

However, the gap between each level is much larger than most people think.

As a second-level Star Envoy, the Coral Knight's first awakening characteristic of Star Source: Sea Thorn Coral is poison.
