Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Pair of Double Pupils

Chapter 102 My Mentor Gains Qualification Through a Series of Victories

"This is terrifying! Who would have thought this guy would be so formidable in martial arts, and possess such an extremely powerful understanding of the laws? I feel like I can't compare to him in any way—"

"What is the power behind this person with double pupils? And who trained such a powerful genius?"

Within the frozen empire.

All the geniuses who advanced to the one-on-one arena battles gathered here to watch Fang Yi's combat videos and learn about his habits and techniques.

In order to better prepare for what is to come and even for battle.

Furthermore, this battle was extremely educational, from which some skilled human warriors wielding giant axes benefited greatly.

After watching this battle, I have greatly improved my martial arts skills and combat experience. After all, as an instructional battle, it is indeed of great learning value.

"I don't know. We need to investigate his methods again and again, which will take a lot of time."

No sooner had a genius finished speaking than an elderly powerhouse in their empire lowered his head slightly.

"In short, you should regard him as the strongest opponent, and of course there is another guy called the Savage. I have watched all the battle videos, and these two are currently the two best performers in our Qianwu Universe Kingdom's arena battle."

"Of course, besides these two, I've also categorized all the battles and analyses of the other top 1000 powerhouses. Time is tight, so you must make the most of every minute. Our empire's performance has always been the best compared to other empires, and this year must be no exception."

"Did you hear me clearly?"

These authoritative and awe-inspiring words commanded the respect of everyone present.

The surrounding crowd straightened their backs, their faces solemn, and replied in unison, "Yes, we will certainly not dishonor the empire's reputation!"

What use is fame?

Fang Yi looked at his report on the Genius Battle. This battle had made more people, including those who had not yet paid attention to the Genius Battle, notice the terror and power of those with double pupils.

Although the name of the Genius Battle is widely known among the human race.

However, many planets and reclusive powerhouses remain unconcerned about it, or are unaware of its origins—

O

However, this battle video has filled in the gaps in the weapon combat of the double-pupiled individuals. Combined with the previously shown secret techniques, people have discovered that the double-pupiled individuals seem to be abnormal geniuses who are proficient in all aspects.

"Master."

Chur paid homage to his one-eyed mentor who had been carefully nurturing him.

His mentor was also his adoptive father, who raised him since he was a child. Although they were not related by blood, the two were already as closely bound together as if they were biological father and son.

The one-eyed powerhouse in the blue robe turned off the battle video in front of him.

The video stopped right at the moment when Qiu Er roared.

The aura emanating from the one-eyed powerhouse was not terrifying; it was merely the strength of a high-level cosmic being. If such news were to be publicized, it would indeed be astonishing.

after all.

Although Chur was eliminated, his displayed talent still attracted the attention of many powerful forces, and many people—

It is highly probable that he will reach the level of a Domain Lord, and with better opportunities in the future, he will most likely become a powerful Realm Lord.

But unexpectedly, his mentor turned out to be only a cosmic-level being.

"I've watched your fight. You have good talent and a bright future. In this fight, your opponent pointed out a series of technical issues in you, from which you can learn a lot."

"Yes, Master."

With utmost respect, Chur leaned forward slightly and placed one hand on his chest, down to the center of his throat, with his fingers slightly bent and not closed, forming a semi-fist gesture—a unique etiquette of their planet.

It expresses the utmost respect for the other party.

"That child is very talented. If he can really join the Virtual Universe Company, his future growth will definitely be greater than yours. I even think that child is more suitable to be your mentor in the future."

The one-eyed man had barely finished speaking.

Chur's eyes widened in disbelief, but then he remembered the previous battle and frowned slightly.

It seems that he tacitly agreed with his mentor's words.

Then, the one-eyed man sighed softly.

"You're a very stubborn child. Over the past hundred years, many powerful figures have wanted to take you as their disciple, but you have refused them all. Even though those powerful figures are only at the highest level of Domain Lord, their resources are still thousands of times better than yours. But you, child—sigh."

"It's also because I, as your teacher, can't bring myself to be ruthless."

Qiu Er lowered his head slightly and said, "But those powerful people don't have your discerning eyes. You were able to perceive my potential when I was young and before my talent was even revealed, and you have carefully nurtured me to this day."

"Those powerful individuals only discovered my talent and abilities after you did. Before that, none of them noticed it. And since you treated me like your own son, how could I possibly become his disciple?"

"You—"

The one-eyed man sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of reproach, but also a touch of reluctance and relief: "Stubborn to the end."

"

The two remained silent for a long time.

When a large number of colorful flowers fly across the sky above their planet, it is an act of celebration of grace on their planet.

This was also a prayer for Chur's upcoming ring battles.

"Whatever you want—but that child has the intention to guide you, so he can at least be considered half a teacher to you, which shows his open-mindedness."

"And that child has a real talent for being a teacher. You should learn from him in the future. Even though you are opponents in the competition, you can also become friends outside of it. You can learn a lot from him."

"In my entire life, I have only ever been certain of my judgment once—that was the day I first saw you, when I decided to take you as my disciple at first glance."

"Every other time, I misjudged and went down the wrong path. One wrong step led to another, and I still haven't made a breakthrough. But now I dare to say that this is the second perfect judgment I've ever made in my life. After watching the ring battle today, I'm certain that the kid will become a great person in the future."

Soon, information about the second arena battle also arrived.

Fang Yi immediately clicked on the information to check and saw the detailed information of the person he was fighting for the second time. He was also a master who had stepped into the threshold of the Law.

His name is Bikoyu, and Fang Yi had seen many of his combat videos before, so he was quite familiar with him.

-

However, this person's strength is not enough compared to that of a savage.

"Not a savage."

"Let's speed it up."

"Aside from the savages, there are no other opponents worth fighting seriously."

In the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, only the Red Army and Luo Feng won the battle. They will have to wait until the final battle to fight against the geniuses of other universe kingdoms, which is the true stage where geniuses gather.

Of course, there is a possibility that I might be assigned to fight Luo Feng, but the probability is not high.

Luo Feng's previous performance was not very high. Only if he continues to win will the probability of the two meeting gradually increase. And if nothing unexpected happens, they will probably meet in the final battle.

Fang Yi's face lit up with joy after reading the notice.

The Supreme Bone Avatar has fully mastered the second level of the Divine Weapon and is now beginning to study the threshold of the third level. After hundreds of battles, its combat experience has become increasingly mature.

Hundreds of battle videos are continuously being uploaded and played.

Inside the fighting arena.

The domain lords and realm lords, who had received special reminders from Hugh, were all very concerned about Fang Yi's growth and the entire battle process.

They watched every battle video and discussed its growth rate, dividing it into battle curves and growth curves. They found that Fang Yi made progress in almost every battle, although it seemed very small.

However, once these factors are combined, the growth rate is as high as 2.3%!

This is terrifying data. For an ordinary person, if their combat curve improves by 1% after experiencing a life-or-death battle, they are already considered a genius.

Moreover, according to their calculations, when the total number of battles reaches 500 life-or-death battles, its growth rate will still remain at around 2.0%.

Growth stats gradually decrease with each battle, and very few people can maintain a continuous upward trend.

It would be extremely difficult to ensure that their strength does not decline significantly in the future.

If the subsequent decline is between 0.7 and 0.5, then that is the mark of a genius among geniuses.

If the decline is 0.4, then that person is a superhuman who can join the high-level internal training camp.

Those whose decline is 0.3 or higher will generally be taken in as apprentices by some powerful individuals and carefully trained.

Such a terrifying rate of improvement led them to give it extremely high marks: once Fang Yi breaks through to the Domain Lord level, his combat skills and some individual combat abilities will have already reached the World Lord level!

A high-level Domain Lord exclaimed sincerely, "These data are terrifying—if nothing unexpected happens, just by accumulating time, Hao will definitely be able to reach the Realm Lord level."

The other Green Armor Domain Lord, who was reviewing the data, put down the report page in front of him, his voice steady and magnetic.

"Yes, with this growth rate, Haoguang, with his current equipment, can fight and kill a low-level World Lord while still in the mid-level Domain Lord stage."

While the two were talking.

A powerful realm lord with eyes like a fierce tiger stood with his hands behind his back.

Staring directly at the battle videos and detailed data in the center, every word and action carried an invisible pressure: "Fighting against opponents of higher levels is the most basic bottom line for true strongmen."

"This child's current performance should qualify him for our elite training camp—however, Lord Hughby has other plans for him, which seems to be an order from the higher-ups."

These words were spoken.

This surprised all the other powerful figures in the vicinity.

They naturally knew who that so-called "one above" was.

Lord Shubi's master is one of the five universe masters of the Giant Axe Arena. He is also the top powerhouse who rarely shows his face and has always been hidden in the shadows of the cosmic sea.

Even outsiders, many people are unaware of his specific name, only knowing that such a person exists in the Giant Axe Arena.

Only those at a higher level have some knowledge of it.

No one knows what this enigmatic ruler of the universe is planning or doing on the outside world.

"Continue to observe. After he has fought 500 life-or-death battles, we will compile statistics and then I will report to Lord Shubi." After saying this, the powerful realm lord turned and left.

"Yes!" The people behind him responded quickly.

Time has come to the second match of the arena battle.

Fang Yi's Time-Space Divine Weapon transformed into a precious sword, and he engaged in a fierce battle with his opponent in the second match. Just like the first match, it was still a guidance battle.

And the whole process was much faster than the first game.

Fang Yi ended the battle in less than two minutes, and that was without using his full strength and without giving instructions.

The large audience at Heilongshan cheered excitedly upon seeing this scene.

Its name.

The constant back-and-forth in the arena was incredibly exciting.

The third battle was also a training battle.

Fang Yi's weapon transformed into a long spear.

After exchanging blows for dozens of rounds, the opponent actually threw his spear.

He then chose to engage in hand-to-hand combat with him.

Seeing this scene.

Fang Yi simply smiled.

He also threw out his spear, which transformed into countless fragments that sealed off the surrounding space, allowing him to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy within that space.

He could fight for dozens of rounds in a marksmanship contest, but in a fist contest, his opponent was easily defeated by Fang Yi in less than ten rounds.

They secured their third victory.

soon.

Then came the most anticipated fourth match.

Once Fang Yi completes this fourth battle, he will reach a terrifying 4 wins and 4 losses, which will directly secure him the final spot.

Representing the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, they will proceed to the final battle of the Peak Genius Battle.

Clash with geniuses from other cosmic nations!

Simultaneously.

as predicted.

Fang Yi's opponent in this battle is a powerful expert with an extremely strong understanding of the laws, named Hughes.

However, his strength is still no match for the savage, at least not to Fang Yi.

but.

Hughes possesses the Spirit Weapon, one of the nine controllers, and has mastered its first level of use, making him far stronger than his opponents in the previous three battles.

This also piqued Fang Yi's interest.

The final battle was about to begin.

Both possessed divine weapons that controlled the wielders. They first fought dozens of rounds in the most basic state of primal force, until the man was gradually suppressed by Fang Yi to the point of being unable to breathe.

Only then did the two sides move on to the next stage of the struggle.

Insights into the rules of competition within a specific field.

The final result surprised many people.

Hughes was controlled by Fang Yi's Time-Space Divine Weapon.

He ultimately died from the relentless barrage of punches, his body turning into a pile of minced meat and disappearing into the arena.

And throughout the entire battle...

Fang Yi only suffered minor injuries, including a few wear and tear cracks in his armor. Aside from that, he was unharmed.

It is clear that the gap in strength between the two sides is still too large.

"That kid was a genius too, able to master the first level of divine weapon application at the Hengxing level. It's just a pity he encountered an even more terrifying guy."

"My god, four consecutive wins! He's directly qualified for the final battle."

"Look, the audience from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire has gone crazy—holy crap, at a glance, quite a few people have even fainted from excitement, this is outrageous."

"It's true, some of them are quite good-looking. I really envy those with double pupils."

Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Under the gaze of all the ministers, princes, and princesses.

The emperor slammed his hand on the crystal edge of the throne, and stood up from his seat with great excitement, appearing somewhat out of control and completely devoid of his previous solemnity.

His eyes were fixed on the scene before him.

The voice was loud and filled with excitement.

"Well done! The one with double pupils has advanced to the final battle!"

"This is fantastic news, incredibly fantastic news! The biggest news in all these years! Order the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to celebrate nationwide! Congratulations to the person with double pupils for securing a spot in the final battle!"
