Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Pair of Double Pupils

Chapter 96: The Preliminaries End - 300 Do-or-Die Battles

"Those with double pupils —"

"The one with double pupils is actually a hunter? This news is really surprising. I didn't expect that the killing god of that realm within a realm was only a constant level."

Outside the world zone.

Inside the spectator spacecraft.

Many people from the Black Dragon Empire had already recognized this terrifying double-pupiled individual, after all, his familiar skills and killing moves were truly unforgettable.

now.

Another extremely terrifying spatial secret technique has been added.

For a time, those who had witnessed the terrifying battles of the Double-Pupil Hunter were all terrified. They never expected that this person's growth rate would be so fast.

It's truly surprising and enviable.

The forces that had once been enemies of the Hunters, such as White Tiger Tower, were now clenching their fists.

They knew that this hunter had now become the face of the Black Dragon Empire, and all the grudges between the realms within realms had been wiped clean.

after all.

Their leader would never risk making an enemy of a current genius just for an adventure in a realm within a realm!

Based on the strength the Hunter has shown so far, even if he didn't make it to the finals, he has already earned a good reputation and attracted the attention of many powerful figures.

Once you have those powerful people as your backers.

In addition, the unknown forces behind the Hunters are enough to make the major powers of the Black Dragon Empire dare not act rashly and feel a chill in their hearts.

Not only was the Black Dragon Mountain Empire paying close attention, but other empires and various forces were also extremely curious to know about this 100th...

Who exactly is the number one player in the region?

"Have you collected any data on people with double pupils?"

"Received it, but there's not much information to note at the moment, and we don't know if this guy has any powerful backers."

"I see. Oh well, whatever. I never expected that such a terrifyingly talented expert could emerge from Black Dragon Mountain, a empire that is only slightly below average. Although he is most likely not a local of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he is still using their name now."

"Sir, the person with double pupils who was ranked first has now dropped to second! And it seems they don't intend to continue climbing the ranks."

"Interesting. It seems this person is quite the fighter."

Inside the spaceship of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, where all the high-ranking officials and nobles who govern at the grassroots level reside.

Laughter and cheerful voices echoed continuously throughout the place.

"Your Majesty is overjoyed! Overjoyed!"

"Even though he dropped from first to second place, that's still a terrifying achievement! After this great joy, there's more!"

"Three more people have been temporarily selected: one ranked 999, one ranked 86, and one ranked 51. This is an unprecedented sight for our Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"

"At this moment, all the citizens of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire are incredibly excited; that person has made us look incredibly proud!"

hall.

On the throne.

The emperor could not hide his immense excitement; this was the first time he had ever seen anyone in his empire achieve such a result.

-

"Our empire has not seen anyone with such achievements for a very long time. No, that's not right. Even going back tens of millions of years, it would be extremely rare to see one like this."

"We must find a way to increase the reward for this person; we absolutely must do so!"

"It would be best to let him truly settle in our Black Dragon Mountain Empire, so that other empires can see that even if our Black Dragon Mountain Empire is only a lower-middle-class empire, it can still have such a prodigy."

Within each of the major world zones.

Many exceptionally talented individuals are currently checking their rankings.

Some people are incredibly excited to break into the top 1000, while others are frustrated and helpless as their rankings remain stuck in a rut.

Many high-ranking powerhouses are also looking forward to powerhouses from other world zones.

Just how strong are they?

Within the 100th World Zone, Fang Yi quietly cultivated his Time-Space Divine Weapon.

Analyzing the world.

No one in the surrounding area dares to linger here anymore, or rather, many people have chosen to live a life of hiding.

-

because.

They all knew that there was a terrifying god of death in their world.

He could take down dozens of people with just a stomp of his foot, and even a thousand men could not kill him.

All they want to do is preserve their points. If they die, they will lose half of their points and their ranking will drop drastically. The higher their ranking, the more face they will save.

Even if they don't advance to the next stage, these rankings are enough to prove their strength.

They all considered themselves geniuses, but unfortunately, even among geniuses, there are differences in their level.

However, some powerful individuals continued to hunt, and those individuals had already comprehended traces of the laws, thus not disappointing Fang Yi.

because.

His goal is to compete against geniuses, and the world's number one will go directly to the finals and miss the second round of the arena.

Fang Yi thus controlled his score, keeping it firmly in second place, neither dropping nor rising, demonstrating excellent control.

Fortunately, there are still some strong players in the world competition, otherwise Fang Yi's score would be too high. Even with so many days of playing passively, it would still be difficult for anyone to surpass him.

By controlling his score, Fang Yi will be able to cultivate more effectively.

"I have gained a new understanding of the Time-Space Divine Weapon."

Fang Yi stood up excitedly. He had now completed the second level of the Time-Space Divine Weapon and successfully mastered it.

As for the other Supreme Bone Avatar, it had already mastered the Divine Weapon.

And they have been engaged in a life-or-death struggle ever since.

More than 20 days have passed since the preliminary rounds of the Peak Genius Battle.

outside world.

Fang Yi has already reached 200 life-or-death battles, and he has defeated his opponent within ten rounds in each of them.

Furthermore, the opponents he arranges will be at least two levels higher than him, and their overall strength will be among the strongest in their level, with many even being from high-bloodline human races.

The Giant Axe Arena naturally knew that Fang Yi was incredibly powerful, practically invincible among his peers. Therefore, they could only assign him other powerful geniuses who were far above his level and possessed strong influence and resources, so that their combat strength would be relatively matched.

"This Hao is terrifying. I have seen many people who have won the title of Giant Axe Warrior. Although some of them have extraordinary backgrounds, some have been taught by famous teachers and have extremely high talent, none of them have appeared so calm and collected when they fought and challenged opponents of higher levels."

"The universe is vast and time is profound. No matter what kind of monster appears, it's not surprising to find a genius."

The domain lords watching all sighed as they watched the battle video from the Giant Axe Arena.

The 200th do-or-die battle.

The divine weapon in Fang Yi's hand swam rapidly through this space like a school of goldfish.

The powerful cosmic-level expert in the distance, despite knowing that Fang Yi was using the incredibly powerful Divine Weapon among the Nine Controllers, still harbored a sense of arrogance.

With this, he unleashed his strongest move, holding nothing back and giving it his all!

But in the end.

After the two armies clashed, it was not the one who had stood on the fighting field all along, who had never tasted defeat, who ultimately fell.

This cosmic-level powerhouse passed away, his weapon falling to the side.

This signaled the end of this life-or-death battle.

After the goldfish swam around and buried his remains, Fang Yi turned and left this planet to continue his journey to other planets for life-or-death battles.

Since Fang Yi joined the arena, and since the strongman Shubi was assigned a mission.

The Giant Axe Arena will arrange special planes, and even nearly connected planets, specifically for Fang Yi to conduct life-or-death battles.

This is a privilege reserved for senior internal members.

Strictly speaking, as long as the basic combat treaty is not violated, Fang Yi can have many specialists and even strong individuals from the Giant Axe Arena assist him in order to conduct life-or-death battles more efficiently.

now.

They can receive up to 10 life-or-death battles a day.

Most of the viewers who followed Fang Yi through his life-or-death battles did not miss a single one. During these 200 battles, Fang Yi had already gained one incredibly loyal spectator after another.

Many disciples of powerful figures gained some insights after watching his battles.

after all.

This incredibly clean and decisive battle is quite rare. Although there weren't many exchanges, it was precisely this fast, simple, and unpretentious fighting that left a deep impression and provided much insight.

With the qualifiers coming to an end.

Fang Yi has already completed 300 life-or-death battles and successfully entered the fourth level of the universe level. Such a rapid improvement speed is somewhat unexpected.

However, their strength has improved.

Now, what concerns him more is that the qualifying stage is about to end.

Within the 100th World Zone.

With one minute remaining until the end of the selection process, the cold, low countdown echoed in the minds of all the survivors.

In the final moments.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others were extremely impatient, wanting to earn more points to climb the rankings.

Some people even want to use crowdfunding as a means to get others to hand over their heads to them.

But such lies cannot even fool a child who is several hundred years old.

Inside a luxurious high-rise building.

Fang Yi simply stared at his current ranking without any fluctuation. "It's finally almost over. I've encountered..."

The probability of encountering a strong opponent is still too low; lingering here won't do me any good.

"I hope there will be more talented players in the arena battles. After all, there are some strong and talented individuals who deliberately hold back, just to hone their skills in this round. They are my targets."

That is why.

Fang Yi was able to maintain his second-place ranking.

The reminder continues until the one-minute reminder ends.

The preliminary selection is over, and all participants have been selected.

With a "whoosh".

Fang Yi was teleported to the sky above Black Dragon Mountain Island, where other figures gradually appeared. Fang Yi did not linger and quickly left the area.

But the next moment.

But then he found himself bombarded with thousands of call requests and emails.

"So annoying."

Fang Yi then turned off and blocked all such messages.

However, soon enough, high-ranking officials of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had already dispatched messengers to rush over, fearing that Fang Yi might suddenly disappear again.

after all.

Some people in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had already begun investigating the hunter's identity.

However, they were unable to find any specific information or location about him. They knew that Fang Yi possessed extremely powerful methods to evade their investigation.

therefore.

All they could do was wait in various corners of the surrounding area, and they rushed over the moment Fang Yi left the qualifiers.

Among them are also powerful figures such as Domain Lords and Realm Lords.

"Your Excellency, the One with Double Pupils, I come on behalf of the Emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. I hope you will not refuse me—"

The newcomer was a powerful realm lord.

This grand scene instantly attracted many contestants who had just withdrawn from the competition.

Some people could tell at a glance that the person with double pupils must have achieved extremely high results to be so highly regarded by the empire, while others had already begun to investigate the rankings and quickly found out the ranking of the person with double pupils, and were already speechless with astonishment!

Luo Feng and his two companions had just withdrawn.

They were chatting excitedly when they suddenly noticed this scene.

"It's a double-pupiled individual, the second-ranked powerhouse in the 100th World Region," Hong said, looking at the scene in the distance.

He kept a close eye on the rankings, especially after withdrawing from the qualifiers, while checking the latest situation and chatting with Luo Feng and others.

Luo Feng and Lei Shen both showed curiosity after hearing this.

"Ranked second — truly impressive."

"Good heavens, this is quite a show of force. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire seems to value this guy highly—wait, the more I look at the style of his armor, the more it resembles a certain figure?"

"Now that you mention it, it does feel somewhat familiar?"

"It seems to be—"

Hong frowned slightly as he watched Luo Feng and Lei Shen speak. Looking at the figure in the distance, a flash of white light appeared in his mind and he immediately thought of Fang Yi's appearance, whose posture was extremely familiar.

But after this surprising idea came to mind.

Hong immediately dismissed the idea and asked, "You don't mean to say—"

"Hunter! Yes, this double-pupiled one is similar to the hunters in the realm within a realm, their physique, armor, and behavior are all similar."

Hong was taken aback at first, then glanced at it a few more times and nodded repeatedly: "What you say makes sense."

They were all familiar with the Hunters and had even met them in the realm within a realm, but they had never fought them.

As soon as Luo Feng finished speaking with Thor, Hong said, "But I still think that person with double pupils looks a bit like Fang Yi."

These words were spoken.

Both Luo Feng and Thor were taken aback.

"Why do you think the person with double pupils is Fang Yi?" Thor asked, puzzled.

"I can't really say, but their posture, speech, and some subtle movements all make me feel that they are somewhat similar—more than that, I subconsciously feel that the two are extremely similar."

17

In Hong's words.

It contains both a degree of confidence in one's instincts and an element of unbelievable rationality.

"Isn't this simple?" Babata, who had been listening to the three of them talk, suddenly appeared and dialed the connector at the same time.

The three of them immediately looked towards the person with double pupils in the distance, as the large group of Black Dragon Mountain Empire troops and he had not yet left.

If Hong's guess is correct—

Then the person with double pupils will definitely have some reaction at this moment, at least some subtle movements.

Others might not be able to notice it, but they had come from Earth with Fang Yi and had some understanding of him. They might not say it was very profound, but it wasn't unfamiliar to them either.

A few seconds later.

The call actually went through!

The image clearly shows Fang Yi wearing a suit of armor.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly calling me? If I weren't free right now, I wouldn't have had time to answer."

Fang Yi looked at the people opposite him with a puzzled expression.

Luo Feng met with Babata and the others.

Looking at Fang Yi, who was filled with confusion, and then glancing at the scene in the distance where the person with double pupils was communicating with the envoy of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, for some reason, he first let out a long sigh of relief, but then showed extreme disappointment.

"Unfortunately, no." Hong shook his head helplessly.

"Oh my god, if Fang Yi really is a double pupil person, then we can cling to his coattails!" Thor also looked disappointed.

"It's nothing, Hong just found someone who looks extremely similar to you. That person is a strong person, which piqued our interest, so we wanted to contact you," Luo Feng explained to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi, who was on the communication screen, frowned slightly after hearing this.

"You guys are pretty good at guessing—"
