Chapter 337 Forged Through Trials and Tribulations, Today We Draw Our Swords (Three-in-One, Please Subscribe)
"Jiang Ye." A voice suddenly rang out.

"Teacher." Jiang Ye stood up and looked at the figure flying in from outside the door.

The visitor was none other than Qiu Zang.

"You've received all the news about the Star Wars?" Qiu Cang asked with a smile.

“I’ve already seen it.” Jiang Ye nodded.

Qiu Zang smiled and said, "I've come this time to add some more important information."

He waved his hand.

"Whoosh!" A large amount of light converged, forming a projection in the air.

"These are some of the opponents you need to be wary of in this year's All-Star Battle. Take a look," Qiu Zang said.

“Okay.” Jiang Ye immediately focused his attention on it.

The projected image was a list containing recent information on many of the top geniuses in this Star Wars event.

"Li Zihuang possesses extraordinary talent, reaching the late stage of the Fifth Breakthrough Realm, achieving minor mastery of the 'Heavenly Maiden Heart Sutra,' and major mastery of the 'Liyue Sword Technique,' having comprehended the spiritual essence of seven sword techniques."

"Wang Feifan possesses extraordinary talent, reaching the late stage of the sixth breakthrough realm. He has mastered the 'Divine Battle Blade Technique' and the 'Heaven-Slaying Blade Technique,' and has comprehended the spiritual essence of nine blade techniques."

"Chu Jingye possesses extraordinary talent, reaching the early stage of the Seventh Breakthrough, having mastered the Thousand Illusions Spear Technique and achieved minor mastery of the Rock-Solid Heart Method, and has comprehended the essence of one spear technique and the spiritual essence of many others."

“I know your opponents are these extraordinary talents,” Qiu Zang smiled. “So the vast majority of those on the list are extraordinary.”

"Thank you for your trouble, teacher." Jiang Ye nodded.

He looked at the list and was somewhat amazed.

These extraordinary talents are indeed terrifyingly strong.

For example, Li Zihuang cultivates the "Heavenly Maiden Heart Sutra," which is a divine-level mental cultivation method, and the "Liyue Sword Technique," which is a demigod-level sword technique.

Crucially, she also comprehended the spiritual essence of seven sword techniques!

The so-called spiritual essence of swordsmanship is a kind of spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Although it is not as divine as spiritual essence, its power is still terrifying when enhanced by multiple spiritual essences.

In fact, whether it is spiritual charm or divine charm, it is a kind of law of heaven and earth, similar to the mysteries of heaven and earth, just with different names.

However, the weaponry system is accustomed to using terms like 'spiritual essence' or 'divine essence' to refer to it.

The natural laws of fire, water, and metal are more suited to the term 'mystery', such as the mystery of water and the mystery of fire.

But in the end, they all lead to the same conclusion: they will return to the law itself.

“Li Zihuang is only two years older than me.”

"She's the same age as my senior sister," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "But she's already comprehended the spiritual essence of seven sword techniques?"

"My senior sister has only comprehended five of the Daos," Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

They possess extraordinary talents and are more attuned to the world.

In this respect, the Invincible Daoist is far inferior.

At this time.

Jiang Ye suddenly noticed a familiar word.

Zhou Xingkong, with extraordinary talent, is at the late stage of the Fifth Breakthrough Realm. He has mastered the Heavenly Light Blade Technique and comprehended the spiritual essence of the Six Paths Blade Technique.

“Zhou Xingkong!” Jiang Ye’s eyes narrowed.

He certainly had a deep impression of this person.

More than half a year ago, he made a promise with the other party to be together with a group of stars.

Now, the day of its realization is finally fast approaching.

"Heavenly Light Blade Technique? It's also a demigod-level blade technique." Jiang Ye had a very high level of knowledge and was familiar with many different martial arts techniques.

These extraordinary talents cultivated techniques, all of which were demigod-level techniques.

But truly divine-level martial arts techniques are very rare.

Only Li Zihuang's "Heavenly Maiden Heart Sutra" and Chu Jingye's "Rock Solid Heart Method" are divine-level cultivation techniques.

"Zhou Xingkong only comprehended the Six Paths of Spiritual Essence?" Jiang Ye frowned slightly. "He's not even as good as Li Zihuang."

"Zhou Xingkong should not be underestimated."

"The Zhou family possesses the Divine Cleansing Waterfall," Qiu Cang said solemnly. "This is a divine opportunity no less than the Chen family's 'Starry Sky Hundred Refinements'."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Xingkong's physical body may have reached the peak of the fifth breakthrough realm."

"When facing him, it's best not to confront him head-on," Qiu Zang advised.

"Understood." Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

Although the battle of the stars will unify the realms.

However, the higher the basic strength, the higher the final combat power will be, which is beyond doubt.

That's why.

In previous All-Star Battles, many top-tier powerhouses with breakthroughs of seven levels or higher had the opportunity to clash head-on with those possessing extraordinary talent.

"Those peak seventh-stage experts also need to be paid special attention to," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

He glanced at the list.

Besides those with extraordinary talents, there are more than ten other names, all of whom possess Daoist innate qualities.

The reason these people are on the list is because they are all peak seventh-level experts. In terms of basic combat strength, even many people with extraordinary talents are far inferior to these people.

At this time.

"If you're determined to win the championship."

“Then we need to pay special attention to this person.” Qiu Zang pointed to the list and said, “The Chu family, Chu Jingye!”

"He is the champion of the previous All-Star Battle."

"In this year's All-Star Battle, Chu Jingye has the highest probability of winning the championship," Qiu Zang said solemnly.

"The previous champion?" Jiang Ye nodded seriously.

Chu Jingye, a contemporary extraordinary member of the Chu family.

Jiang Ye first met the other party at the Twenty-Five Schools Genius Cup.

At that time, the pressure that the other party exerted on Jiang Ye was no less than that of a god in this world, which was extremely terrifying.

At that time, Chu Jingye had already reached the peak of the sixth breakthrough, while Jiang Ye was only at the second breakthrough.

Now, a year has passed, and the other party has become a powerful expert at the early stage of the seventh breakthrough.

But Jiang Ye has already advanced from the second breakthrough to the mid-stage of the fifth breakthrough!

"The previous champion was indeed formidable."

"I wonder if I have a chance to defeat him now?" Jiang Ye felt a surge of pride.

A battle of stars, unifying the realm.

This is Jiang Ye's biggest opportunity.

"Eno."

“Actually, you have one major advantage over others,” Qiu Zang suddenly said. “Your information is not publicly available.”

"My information is not publicly available?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

He really didn't know about this.

"The Alliance Leader gave the order months ago," Qiu Zang smiled and said, "to seal off all your information."

"Therefore, even many demigods only know you from a few months ago."

“But you can easily obtain the latest information on other participants,” Qiu Zang said.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Did the alliance leader block his information?
"Is it the strongest person in the Federation, the leader of the Qitian Alliance?" Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Jiang Ye's impression of that alliance leader was limited to his past knowledge.

I've never actually seen it before.

"The alliance leader seems to be favoring me," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "Is it because of my talent? Or is there some other reason?"

Anyway.

This is indeed a good thing.

The fact that Jiang Ye's information is blocked means that other people's knowledge of his combat strength exists only in speculation.

This will create a huge information gap.

"it is good."

“This gives me an even greater confidence in the Star Wars,” Jiang Ye said with a smile.

"What?" Qiu Zang couldn't help but laugh. "Judging from your expression, you seem quite confident about the All-Star Battle?"

"Being timid before battle is not in my nature."

Jiang Ye smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, do you not require me to achieve any ranking?"

In previous competitions such as the 25 Schools Genius Cup and the 10 Schools League, the teachers had ranking requirements for him.

But this time? Qiu Zang didn't mention it.

"Being able to participate in the All-Star Battle is already an exceptional achievement."

"Your teacher has no other requirements for you," Qiu Zang said solemnly. "I will only give you one piece of advice."

"Having been tempered and refined countless times, we now unsheathe our swords."

"Lying hidden in the abyss, it will soar into the sky in a single flight!"

soon.

Qiu Zang drifted away.

Jiang Ye sat alone in the training room, making his final sprint in preparation for the upcoming All-Star Battle in a few days.

Although he was confident that he was strong enough.

But as Qiu Zang said.

Even at the very last moment before drawing the sword, one must hone it to its fullest potential.

Only in this way can we soar to new heights when we unsheathe our swords.

high in the air.

Qiu Zang stood high in the sky, and a man in a white whale-shaped robe appeared before him.

It was none other than the president of White Dragon University, White Whale.

"Old Qiu, you seem to have a lot of confidence in Jiang Ye?" Bai Jing laughed, having overheard the conversation.

"We must still have confidence."

Qiu Zang smiled and said, "Maybe it will come true?"

"You really are something else." White Whale couldn't help but shake his head with a smile: "You really think Jiang Ye has a chance to win the championship? In the history of the All-Star Battle, there has never been a genius without extraordinary talent who has won the championship."

"Having said that."

“But Jiang Ye,” Qiu Zang smiled slightly, “has already created many miracles, hasn’t he?”

"What if he were facing Chu Jingye?" White Whale asked.

Qiu Zang suddenly fell silent.

Yes! Chu Jingye.

He had also watched the previous All-Star Game.

Back then, Chu Jingye was only at the fifth level of breakthrough, yet he rose to prominence among many sixth and seventh level powerhouses, ultimately becoming the undisputed champion of that year.

To this day, there is no dispute about it.

Chu Jingye is a miracle in himself.

Even if Jiang Ye is strong, what are his chances of winning against such a terrifying opponent?
Very low.

"Don't even mention Chu Jingye," White Whale remarked. "This year, none of the experts at the peak of the seventh breakthrough are easy to deal with."

"They have spent many years at the peak of the seventh breakthrough, and their understanding of heaven and earth is no less than that of the extraordinary."

"These are all tricky characters."

"If Jiang Ye encounters them during the chaotic battle, he'll probably be in trouble," White Whale sighed, shaking his head.

Qiu Zang shook his head slightly.

"Right and wrong".

"We'll know when the battle of the stars begins," Qiu Cang said slowly. "Compared to what you've said, I'm more interested in the outcome of the battle between Jiang Ye and Zhou Xingkong."

"Hmm." The beluga whale nodded slightly.

Zhou Xingkong!
They are also students at Hakuryu University.

As the president of Bailong University, Bai Jing didn't care whether Jiang Ye or Zhou Xingkong won or lost.

But for Qiu Zang, the meaning was quite different.

If Jiang Ye is defeated by Zhou Xingkong, Qiu Zang will definitely feel extremely disappointed.

"Don't say that."

"Principal, why did you suddenly return?" Qiu Zang suddenly asked. "Has the trouble in Dongshan Province been quelled?"

Principal Bai Jing had previously gone to Dongshan Province to provide support.

“That’s right.” White Whale nodded. “The situation in Dongshan Province eased somewhat half a month ago.”

"The Shadow Clan members who have reached the ninth level of breakthrough are appearing less and less frequently."

"Only now do I have a chance to catch my breath." The beluga whale's eyes showed a hint of weariness.

The months-long battle was taking its toll on him.

Qiu Zang's eyes lit up slightly.

This is a good thing.

Does this mean the Shadow Clan is finally preparing to slow down their offensive?
"It's not just Dongshan Province."

“In other areas of the forty provinces of the Federation, all areas affected by disasters of level 7 or above have seen varying degrees of relief,” White Whale said. “But in Xishan Province, I heard the situation is even worse.”

"Xishan Province?" Qiu Zang's expression changed.

“We suspect that those Shadow Clan members who have broken through to the ninth level or above have all gone to Xishan Province,” White Whale continued. “That’s why we’ve created this situation.”

When this was mentioned, a hint of doubt appeared on the beluga whale's face.

"Lao Qiu."

"Has something happened in Xishan Province?" White Whale asked, puzzled. He had just returned from the Shadow Clan's lair in Dongshan Province and was unaware of the situation on Blue Star.

"Not long ago, a 7.9-magnitude Shadow Calamity broke out in Xishan Province," Qiu Zang said. "The Chen family patriarch invaded the Shadow Clan's lair in Xishan Province."

"I see," the beluga whale exclaimed in realization.

In the Shadowfolk world, although the many Shadowfolk lairs are independent of each other, they are connected by passageways.

If one of the Shadow Clan lairs is attacked, then Shadow Clan lairs in other areas will send a large number of reinforcements.

This is also why the Shadow Clan's lair is so difficult to breach.

"That demigod ancestor from the Chen family?"

"Alone, he broke into a level 7.9 Shadow Clan lair." The white whale exclaimed, "He actually forced the Shadow Clan to mobilize reinforcements. That's truly remarkable."

"pity."

“We can’t help him,” the white whale sighed.

Qiu Zang also sighed inwardly.

He understood what the principal meant.

7.9 level Shadow Calamity, like those eighth and ninth level powerhouses, would not enter the Shadow Clan's lair.

Because going in means certain death.

The other demigods on Blue Star were also unable to help Chen Jiuxuan. These top experts had to stay on Blue Star to deal with the potential 7.9 level shadow calamity that might break out in other regions.

After all.

The power to initiate the Shadow Calamity is entirely in the hands of the Shadow Clan civilization.

Blue Star can only passively defend itself.

Therefore, Chen Jiuxuan was destined to be alone.

"Hopefully, that Chen family patriarch can hold on for a little longer."

Qiu Zang harbored a hidden worry: "If he falls, then Xiao Chen will..."

Chen Jiuxuan has been holding out in the Shadow Clan's lair for three whole months.

It is truly astonishing that a demigod-level powerhouse nearing the end of his life could endure for so long.

However, human potential is limitless.

Until the very last moment, no one knew how much energy Chen Jiuxuan would unleash.

It is billions of light-years away from the sun.

Deep within the universe, at the center where endless darkness and order intersect.

In that unknown void, an incomparably majestic figure sat cross-legged.

The figure had his eyes closed and exuded an aura of endless desolation. He sat cross-legged in the void, and every hair on his body disturbed the rules of the universe. With each breath, scenes of stars disappearing and fading appeared.

He remained motionless, as if he existed forever.

suddenly.

"Shu~"

The imposing figure opened his eyes, and a look of respect appeared on his face.

"The time has come."

"Set off!" A voice echoed in the mind of the towering figure: "Go and bring Him back."

"Yes, Master," the imposing figure replied respectfully.

His voice carried the imprint of the Great Dao Laws, causing planets tens of light-years away to be affected and vibrate violently.

"Shua~!"

The imposing figure turned his head, and a gaze pierced through the endless void, revealing a scene beyond the infinite distance.

time.

A phantom image of a blue planet appeared.

"It's billions of light-years away," the towering figure muttered to himself. "It'll probably take some time to get there."

Rumble~
The towering figure slowly rose, his body expanding as he did so. He was already incredibly imposing, and the rapid expansion quickly brought him to an exaggerated degree.

In the blink of an eye.

This imposing figure transformed into a colossal giant, as large as a star, with every hair on its body the size of a planet, reaching the pinnacle of majesty.

"call out!"

With one step, he traversed countless billions of kilometers, transforming into a streak of light that sped towards the depths of the universe.

time flies.

As the battle of the stars draws near, the various extraordinary families and the top ten prestigious universities have become increasingly quiet.

Everyone is making a final push for the upcoming battle of the stars.

In the blink of an eye, several days later.

December 1, 2328, 12 noon.

As the noon bells rang.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
Throughout the entire Blue Star Federation, across its forty provinces, bells suddenly rang out, their high-pitched and resounding tones sounding like the horns of war.

At this moment.

From extraordinary families to ordinary people in the city, everyone who heard this bell understood one thing.

The most anticipated event on this planet has begun!
"It is the Clock of the Stars!"

"The battle of the stars is about to begin."

"Quickly turn on the live stream projector, I want to watch All Stars Battle!!"

"Why bother watching the live stream? I bought tickets for the show this time, I'm going to watch it live!"

"Look, some participants have already set off." Countless people were discussing this on the virtual network, waiting for the live streaming platform to start.

The Battle of the Stars is the most anticipated tournament in the Blue Star Federation.

Not only are there tens of thousands of top talents participating.

Major virtual network live streaming platforms, the Federation Virtual Channel, and many other platforms will broadcast the battle live in real time!
By then.

Billions of viewers will be watching this epic battle!

In Donghai Province, an enormous projection appeared in the skies above all major cities.

The projection is showing a scene of a battle between stars.

"Look, the live stream is on."

"Where is this? Why is it different from the previous All-Star Battle?"

"Interesting, this All-Star Battle seems to have something new in it!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers.

On the projected screen, a vast and boundless world appeared, conveying an ancient and desolate aura.

at this time.

"Shu~"

The scene shifts, and a burly man dressed in black appears in the center of the screen.

"Hello everyone."

"I am the host of this year's All-Star Battle. This year's battle will be held within the 'Ruins of Civilization'," the burly man in black announced loudly. "Tens of thousands of participants will enter the Ruins of Civilization to compete for rankings."

As the host in black introduced the event.

The audience was in an uproar.

"What? We have to compete inside a secret realm? Did I waste my money on the live ticket?!"

"What's the big deal? I also bought a ticket for the event."

"Going to the scene is just watching the live stream. Do you think you can actually enter the secret realm?"

"I can't, but my brother can!"

"What?! Your brother is a participant?! Wow, I'm in awe!"

As the battle of stars began, the popularity of the entire live stream soared.

Large numbers of viewers continued to pour in.

one million.

three million.

five million.

Ten million
In a short period of time, more than 100 million viewers flooded into the live broadcast room.

Fortunately, the world's network technology is incredibly advanced, so even if it accommodates hundreds of billions of people at the same time, the video will not lag in the slightest.

As the number of people increases.

A significant topic has also emerged.

"Do you all remember six months ago when someone challenged Zhou Xingkong of the extraordinary family?"

"It's that guy named Jiang Ye, right?"

"He has disappeared from public view for the past six months."

"Hey, just take it as a joke. Does Jiang Ye really dare to challenge Zhou Xingkong? That guy has extraordinary talent!"

"I've heard that Jiang Ye only possesses basic talent. I really don't know where he gets the guts to challenge the extraordinary?"

"It's probably just a publicity stunt. People like this have no shame when it comes to getting clicks."

"Jiang Ye may have innate talent, but he's also the champion of the 25 Schools Genius Cup! Can any of you do that?"

"That's it!"

"If you were threatened by extraordinary talents, you probably wouldn't even dare to speak, yet you're here kicking someone when they're down."

"How abominable!"

"."

The topic of Jiang Ye and Zhou Xingkong's duel was brought up again, instantly igniting the entire live stream.

In fact.

This is something that most ordinary people don't know; it was originally only known among geniuses.

but now.

Based on the popularity of the live stream.

Tens of millions of people have paid attention to this topic!
And the number of people is still rising rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it skyrocketed to an alarming level of popularity.

soon.

On news platforms across the internet, similar topics have repeatedly topped the trending searches.

[Jiang Ye, with his primal talent, challenges Zhou Xingkong, with his extraordinary talent!]

[A battle of stars! Jiang Ye, a student from a humble background, challenges top-tier extraordinary geniuses. Who will emerge victorious?]

[Is it an innate talent that defies the ordinary? Arrogance or confidence?]

[Shocking! The unknown secret between Jiang Ye and Zhou Xingkong]

On a plane heading to the competition.

Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu sat in their respective cabins, both meditating with their eyes closed.

suddenly.

"Jiang Ye." Qiu Zang's voice rang out: "Quick, look at the news. Your affair has been exposed all over the internet again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them.

"Breaking through the entire internet?"

He immediately turned on the smart bracelet projection.

Click on the news page.

"It's trending again?" Jiang Ye looked at the news on the trending list and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Your affair with Zhou Xingkong is indeed likely to attract attention," Qiu Zang said with a shake of his head and a smile.

Original talent and extraordinary talent.

The combination of these two words is incredibly eye-catching.

"Many people think I'm just creating hype?" Jiang Ye glanced at the comments and was taken aback.

"normal."

"For the past six months, you've either been training in the Star Sea or cultivating alone," Qiu Cang said with a smile. "In addition, the Alliance Leader has blocked your information, so the general public can't see any information about you at all."

"Naturally, people assumed you had disappeared."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

He has indeed been very quiet for the past six months.

He did not participate in any competitions!

“Very well.” A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Ye’s eyes: “Let’s use this battle of stars to test the results of my hard work over the past six months.”

As for the rumors and gossip from the outside world? Jiang Ye never cared.

The path of martial arts is one where one need not care about the opinions of others.

Moreover, these trending topics may not necessarily be a bad thing for Jiang Ye.

The more people know about this, the better.

He will gain more recognition after defeating Zhou Xingkong.

At that time, Jiang Ye will be able to gain even greater benefits.

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering this.

"We've arrived," Qiu Zang said, looking down.

Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu looked up together.

The location for this year's All-Star Battle has finally been arrived!
