Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Pair of Double Pupils

Chapter 98 Arena Siege

"I'm not some Taoist priest or ascetic; I'll see how things go in the future."

"You say that, but you probably forgot it later. After all, cultivation is of paramount importance to you," Thor said.

Amid the conversation.

On the fighting arena.

The sweet and lovely young female host immediately began explaining the genius experts in all the subsequent battle groups.

Amidst the thunderous cheers of the Giant Axe Arena.

A series of battles between geniuses gradually began.

In this extremely lively atmosphere, the host gave the order: "The battle begins!"

moment.

The arena fell silent as everyone focused their attention on the hundred geniuses, and the battle began.

Amidst a tsunami of cheers from millions, the battle officially began.

The masters and geniuses were caught in a chaotic battle, which was extremely fierce. Various elemental forces spread around, and different domains were spread throughout the entire arena.

As each battle came to an end, the outcome was gradually revealed.

Nabini, whom the Black Dragon Mountain Empire favored, didn't even make it into the top ten thousand.

Despite the infuriating situation, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire still has individuals with double pupils, these terrifyingly powerful figures serving as its face and guardians.

"Nabini lost, really, how could he lose—"

"It doesn't matter. There's still Hong and Luo Feng behind us. Besides those two, don't forget that the double-pupiled one hasn't made a move yet."

"Yes, there's no need to rush."

"The strength displayed by the previous double-pupiled individual was definitely enough to make him the number one in the 100th region, but he didn't continue fighting for the next ten days or so. Clearly, he came specifically for the arena battles. With his current strength, he could even break into the top 100!"

"I understand that even though there are impulsive individuals at the bottom, if possible, our Black Dragon Mountain Empire would naturally want as many people as possible to enter."

"Stay calm and observe carefully."

The battle soon turned to Hong.

Fang Yi knew that Hong's group would encounter savages in this battle. In addition, there was another extremely powerful female warrior, so he told her to just do her best.

after all.

Even if he does unleash his full power, and the timeline is different from the original one, and he defeats the female warrior, he will still have to face the savages.

All I can say is that he was dead beyond dead.

Although Hong displayed great bravery in the subsequent battle, he ultimately only managed to hold out until there were about 20 people left before being killed by the female warrior.

After Hong returned, both Luo Feng and Lei Shen patted him on the shoulder.

"Unfortunately, you only lost because of the fundamental laws. If you had comprehended the laws like your opponent, she would definitely not have been the one to win."

"Fang Yi sighed."

"Yes, the difference between comprehending the laws and not comprehending them is just too great." Although Hong looked helpless, he was actually prepared for failure.

As everyone was talking.

Luo Hai, who was leaning against Xu Xin, asked in confusion, "It would be great if Uncle Fang could participate too."

Fang Yi just smiled and didn't say anything more.

The group then departed, quietly awaiting Luo Feng's battle the following day.

Giant Axe Arena.

Fang Yi was preparing for his 400th life-or-death battle.

He then received the latest notification: the rule for the 400 to 500 life-or-death battles was that the opponent had to be defeated within 5 rounds.

However, this difficulty level was relatively easy for Fang Yi.

There wasn't much of a challenge, so Fang Yi skipped it. What he was most concerned about was the requirements for the next stage of the mission. Although it wasn't clear what the next mission would be after the first stage, it did mention something that Fang Yi found very interesting.

"Once you meet the requirements, I will grant you the qualification to go to the Giant Axe Secret Realm."

"The Secret Realm of the Giant Axe"

Fang Yi's eyes lit up.

Such secret realms are great places, with many opportunities, but also many dangers. Although Fang Yi has become one of the members of the Giant Axe Arena, he does not yet have a formal identity.

After completing the first task, he will become a special core disciple.

This identity, unlike that of ordinary core members or elite disciples of the Giant Axe Arena, grants them extremely special rights.

This was also one of the conditions that Hughie agreed to Fang Yi's request.

"Let's continue."

Fang Yi closed the notification in front of him and soon arrived at the new battle planet to begin a life-or-death battle.

The 2st day.

Virtual universe, arena dimension.

Fang Yi watched quietly as Luo Feng's group fought today. Hong and Lei Shen's group were also by his side, discussing the situation with him. All three agreed that Luo Feng could pass the test.

He successfully advanced to the next stage of the competition.

When the battle ended, the result was as expected: Luo Feng displayed terrifying strength.

He successfully advanced to the next stage.

-

Fang Yi watched this scene quietly, making sure there were no problems with the process, and then he and the others escorted Luo Feng away from the viewing space, preparing for his battle in a few days.

The arena battles will last for 5 days.

period.

Many skilled and talented individuals were also selected one after another, making the arena incredibly lively every day, until the fifth day—

The last day.

Inside the enormous privileged observation room, Luo Feng and his group were all gathered, except for Fang Yi.

"Why didn't Fang Yi come?" Thor asked, puzzled.

"He had something to do at the Giant Axe Arena, but he left us the viewing slots and then left," Luo Feng explained.

"I see. He must be a very busy man—he's now on the final match."

Giant Axe Arena.

In the preparation hall.

Fang Yi's figure quietly appeared.

The moment it appeared, it was spotted by other geniuses and experts in the vicinity, instantly arousing fear in everyone's hearts.

"Damn it, I'm actually in a group with this person with double pupils."

"Damn it, this guy is already controlling the score, and now he's even controlling this group. How am I supposed to fight in the arena later? I hope he doesn't spot me first."

"I have a plan—"

A cacophony of noise echoed from the surrounding area.

Fang Yi ignored the surrounding noises and waited quietly for his turn. However, while some were wary, others were curious and took the initiative to come forward and talk to Fang Yi.

"Hahaha, a double-pupiled one? I've seen your combat videos, they're terrifying. I also know about your reputation as a hunter. I hope you won't disappoint in the upcoming battles."

A robust genius, carrying a large hammer on his back, strode in with a hearty laugh.

"They might not have even shown their full strength yet, and you're already worried about them~"

Another female genius, dressed in tight-fitting armor, with a slender figure, fair skin, and a beautiful face, approached Fang Yi from behind in a familiar manner and gently touched his shoulder armor.

"Please go easy on them during the arena battle later—at least let them make it into the top 10!"

Her voice was charming and gentle, making many people around her feel inexplicably itchy.

Fang Yi remained unmoved and didn't even acknowledge the other party. Seeing this, the female genius wasn't annoyed at all, but instead covered her mouth and smiled happily.

She displayed an even more charming and alluring demeanor.

"I love your cool demeanor~"

Many people came up to greet him and even provoked him, but Fang Yi remained standing on the edge, unmoved.

until.

The sweet voice of the arena host echoed into the preparation hall, signaling that the arena battle was about to begin, and now it was time for the participants to enter the arena.

"Next up is the most eye-catching member of the 1000th combat group—the one with double pupils!"

"A top genius from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, ranked second in the 100th World Zone during the preliminary rounds!"

The sweet voice had just faded.

The entire arena erupted in cheers, the 1000th group being the most anticipated event of the 5th day.

Although each combat group has its own unique talents.

However, many people knew how terrifying the double-pupiled person was, especially the people of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, who were extremely excited and cheered and praised their number one genius.

Fang Yi's figure appeared first, and then he stood in the center of the arena.

"The person with double pupils is actually the first to appear."

"Is this the powerful figure who controls the 100th World Zone? He's not very big or tall, and looks quite ordinary?"

"Don't compare your Naga race to them. Not every race is like yours, with adults reaching over ten meters in height—and they wear visors, so you can't see their faces."

"Go, you double-pupiled individuals! Kill them all!"

The cheers were as loud as thunder.

Almost everyone in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was cheering for him.

Within the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, people watching the martial arts arena matches via live broadcast gathered together in close embrace.

Everyone stared at the screen with immense excitement.

They awaited the appearance of the strongest warrior of their Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Here they come! The one with double pupils has arrived!"

"Given the terrifying spatial manipulation techniques he displayed earlier, advancing to the next round shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"Of course, it couldn't be simpler."

"Don't speak too definitively, I'm genuinely scared—"

"What are you afraid of? The one with double pupils is our strongest trump card. If he fails easily, it must be a conspiracy."

"If you've ever seen any footage of battle, you wouldn't have this kind of worry."

"What a pity, he's been covered by his armor the whole time, so we can't see his face at all. I really want to see what kind of expression this kind of genius would have right now."

The Imperial Palace of Heilong Mountain.

The emperor sat on his throne, while the ministers around him looked at the screen above and talked to each other.

Brolin's face turned ashen, and upon seeing that terrifying figure again, he instinctively clenched his fists.

But this action was noticed by the other princes.

"Heh, Brolin, why are you so nervous? Is it because you're thinking about those ugly orders you issued in the Realm Within a Realm?"

"Brola————"

Brolin's face was somewhat pale. He looked at the other prince beside him, wanting to argue with him, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Another princess said in an emotionless tone, "Brolin, you may remember him, but he may not remember you. So don't be nervous. You can even ask the Emperor to give the double-pupiled person the Empire's reward. The Emperor might even praise you for not holding grudges and for being magnanimous."

"you!"

Brolin clenched his fists, looked at the princes and princesses on either side of him, and ultimately swallowed back what he was thinking.

On the other side.

Despite his initial confidence, the Emperor expressed some concern as the remaining personnel gradually dispersed, saying, "The one with double pupils is powerful, but I'm still a little nervous. If he can't successfully advance to the next stage, then we'll only have Luo Feng left."

Upon hearing the emperor's words, the surrounding ministers all hurriedly spoke up.

"Your Majesty need not worry too much. I think the others are just mediocre people. Although some of them have shown considerable strength, they are still far inferior to the one with double pupils."

"That's right, the title of the number one genius of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is not just empty words."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that person's extremely powerful spatial techniques?"

"Oh, I really forgot." The emperor slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered the double pupils, that invincible talent.

However, one powerful minister, a realm lord, still cautiously said, "But if the other 99 people join forces and kill the one with double pupils first, then the outcome is indeed hard to say."

Upon hearing this, the entire lively hall immediately fell silent.

Although some people have considered this, they haven't expressed it so clearly yet, since this is the worst possible outcome.

Nobody wanted this to happen.

After all, that was the greatest hope of their Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Inside the fighting arena.

The cheers continued until many more masters and geniuses appeared, until everyone had gathered in the arena.

The sweet-looking host pointed at the screen, extended her index finger, and flashed a lovely smile, saying, "The battle begins!"

The words were spoken.

A massive burst of energy erupted rapidly, with different colored lights and power spreading in all directions.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

For an instant.

Most of the people around gathered towards Fang Yi, who was in the center!

"kill!"

"Kill the one with double pupils first!"

"We need to work together to take him down so that we can have a better fight later. Everyone should know how to weigh the pros and cons!"

These words stirred the hearts of some who had been waiting.

The moment the battle begins.

They naturally knew that someone would definitely join forces to attack the one with double pupils.

Upon closer inspection of the number of people fighting around them, they realized there were over 30! Some of those who had been lying in wait could no longer contain themselves and immediately joined the battle to kill the person with double pupils.

Surrounding area.

All the audience members saw this scene with perfect clarity.

There were 51 people on the field, working together to kill the one with double pupils. Keep in mind that there are only 100 people in a round of battle, which means that Fang Yi had to face half of the genius experts on the field at the very beginning of the battle.

Many people from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire were already cursing angrily.

"That's not fair! How can you kill someone in the first place!"

"Damn it, they're afraid of the power of those with double pupils, so they can only resort to such despicable tactics."

"It's over. Is Luo Feng all that's left of Black Dragon Mountain?"

Special viewing room.

Luo Feng and his group were also extremely surprised, but they also knew that this was a very normal situation.

"Those with double pupils are too powerful, making many people wary," Hong said, shaking his head as he saw this.

"It's a pity that the one with double pupils is in danger now—if he had kept a low profile, he wouldn't have been attacked by so many people," Thor said.

Luo Feng, however, frowned and expressed a completely different opinion from the other two: "But I feel that the person with double pupils seems to want to see this scene?"

The voice just fell.

Both Hong and Lei Shen were taken aback. As they looked at the arena, they saw a purple phantom of a Qilin slowly emerge—
