"Did I encounter a newly awakened demon star?" Wu Xin immediately made a judgment.

That extremely pure aura of death can only be found in the underworld.

If this aura suddenly appears on a normal person, there is only one answer.

The number two in front of him was a newly awakened demon star.

Further speculation suggests that his victory shattered Number Two's psychological defenses, causing Number Two to completely abandon reason and choose to accept the power of the Demon Star, ultimately leading to the Demon Star's awakening.

"Did I create a demon star?" Upon arriving at this conclusion, Wu Xin felt a headache coming on.

However, despite his headache, he had no intention of showing any mercy.

Now that it has been confirmed that it is the Demon Star, he no longer needs to hold back this time.

He shattered the black spear on his body with a single punch, then charged forward, opening his right hand and gathering his cosmic power in his palm, causing a cluster of pale white flames to rise up.

"Accumulated Corpse Qi - Ghostly Azure Flame"

Just as he was about to unleash the flames to incinerate Number Two's body and soul, the shadow on the ground suddenly rose up, transforming into a black barrier that enveloped Number Two entirely.

Wu Xin threw down the flames, which immediately triggered a chain reaction.

Zizizi!

The pale flames, fueled by the power of the microcosm, immediately spread across the black barrier, eventually covering the entire barrier.

As the power of the microcosm was burned away, the changing shadows returned to their original state and fell back to the ground. The second one, which was protected by the barrier, reappeared in front of Wuxin.

However, Number Two was now completely different from before, emanating a dark yet powerful aura of his own, far exceeding his previous level.

Preliminary speculation suggests that the other party may have already reached the peak of the sixth sense, and is only a step away from the seventh sense.

"Oh no, danger!"

Sensing something was wrong, Wu Xin hurriedly tried to retreat and hide.

"Trying to escape? Do you think you can?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made this choice!"

"It's all your fault!"

"If only we had been more careful that night, we would have killed you completely!" Number Two glared fiercely at Wu Xin, a new black spear materializing in his hand once more.

Upon hearing these words, Wuxin suddenly understood.

"So it was you!!!"

That night, he was assassinated by a Specter, and he vaguely sensed that there were two people outside.

But in the end, they only managed to capture one Dark Star, while the other escaped.

Even after Capricorn El Cid personally took action, no second Specter was found, leading him to wonder if it was just his imagination.

But now, after hearing what Number Two said, he finally understood.

There were indeed two people that night, but Number Two had not yet truly awakened at that time, so he is not considered a Specter.

Furthermore, since the Dark Star attracted most of the attention, and Number Two was hidden among the ordinary Saints, it was naturally difficult to distinguish him.

"Die! You superfluous fellow!" Number Two roared, throwing his spear directly.

"Shadow Piercing"

A flash of black light appeared, and an extremely terrifying aura arrived in front of Wuxin.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great; he had absolutely no chance to react.

"If I were to let you kill him so easily in front of me, wouldn't I lose face?"

Accompanied by a sneer, a golden figure landed in front of Wu Xin and grabbed the black spear that was about to pierce his brow with just one hand.

"Senior brother!"

Upon recognizing the person, Wu Xin was overjoyed.

“Step back, this is no longer a problem for you to handle!” Manigo nodded and easily crushed the black spear.

"Yes!"

Wu Xin responded with a sound of approval, and retreated as if granted a pardon.

Seeing the Gold Saints enter, and knowing that he no longer had any chance of killing Wuxin, Number Two coldly said, "This matter will not end here!"

"We will meet again!"

After uttering a harsh remark, he immediately prepared to disappear into the shadows on the ground, hoping to escape.

He knew very well that although he had awakened the power of the Demon Star and his strength had increased significantly, he had no chance of fighting against the many Saints present. He had to escape as soon as possible and make plans later.

But just then, he discovered that an invisible barrier had appeared on the ground, completely blocking his contact with the shadows on the ground.

“A crystal wall?” he exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately following, the calm voice of Aries Shion came from the stands.

"If we just let you leave like this, people will say we haven't treated our guests well."

"I think you should continue to cultivate your mind in the Holy Domain!"

Upon witnessing the moment the Demon Star awakened, he silently erected a 'crystal wall' on the ground, completely blocking any possibility of the opponent escaping using the shadows.

Damn it!

Seeing that escape was hopeless, Number Two completely gave up and immediately leaped towards Sasha in the stands.

In any case, he wanted to leave a deep impression on these proud Gold Saints.

However, his idea was destined to remain just a pipe dream.

"This road is blocked. Please turn back!"

Taurus Hasgard crossed his arms and stood at the very front, blocking the way.

"Giant Horn"

With a flash of golden light, a giant golden bull charged toward Number Two.

"not good!"

Sensing the terrifying power contained within the golden bull, Number Two dared not resist and retreated far away.

Although it's only the sixth sense, he has reached its peak, approaching the speed of light. There isn't a significant speed difference between him and a Gold Saint, thus giving him the possibility to evade.

boom!

The golden bull fell into the arena, instantly creating a crater more than tens of meters in diameter in the ground.

"Hey, don't you think you've forgotten something?"

A playful voice suddenly rang out from behind Number Two.

Number Two suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly tried to change his position, but it was too late.

In his attempt to evade Taurus's attack, he was caught up by Manigoldo and completely lost his chance to escape.

"Accumulated Corpse Qi - Ghostly Azure Flame"

A pale flame landed on Number Two, and the flame instantly flared up, engulfing Number Two completely.

"what--"

He let out a painful scream, fell to the ground and struggled desperately to extinguish the flames on his body.

Unfortunately, the Ghostly Azure Flame had already attached itself to his body, using his soul as fuel, and it would not go out unless his soul was completely burned away.

Chapter 44 Choosing a New Master

Soon, the screams stopped, and Number Two stopped struggling, lying motionless on the ground.

"That's about enough, Manigoldo!" the Pope reminded him from the stands.

"understood!"

Manigoldo waved his hand without turning his head, then snapped his fingers, extinguishing the flames on the corpse.

Once the last flame had disappeared, he carried the corpse away from the arena and vanished without a trace.

Wu Xin immediately realized that Manigoldo had deliberately left the corpse behind, intending to suppress it in the Sanctuary.

Because the Specters possess the ability to resurrect.

Their power comes from the 108 Demon Stars of the Underworld. This is not just a simple title, but also represents a special status in the Underworld, somewhat similar to a divine position.

As long as the Underworld exists, the origin of the 108 Specters will not be destroyed. This also gives the Specters, who exist based on the 108 Specters, a near-immortal characteristic, allowing them to be resurrected after death.

Even if their bodies are burned and their souls are obliterated, they can rely on the power of the 108 Demon Stars to reshape their bodies and souls and be resurrected.

If their physical bodies are destroyed, they will be resurrected in the underworld, but if there are still corpses left, they can only be resurrected using those corpses as anchors.

However, the Sanctuary deliberately leaves a seal on the corpse, preventing the Specters' souls from reuniting with their bodies and putting them in a state of being alive, thus indirectly suppressing their resurrection abilities.

This is also why Manigoldo deliberately left the body behind.

Seeing that everything had calmed down, the Saint Seiya in charge of the referee stepped forward and loudly announced, "The winner of this battle is number three!"

Cheers erupted from the stands.

Pope Sage walked to the front of the stage and said to Wuxin below, "Congratulations, young man, you have defeated many powerful enemies and achieved the final victory. You are the strongest in the Silver Group of this Saint Cloth Competition!"

"Come, with Lord Sasha as your witness, become a true Saint!"

As he spoke, he turned around, stepped aside, and made room for him.

Sasha stepped to the front of the stage at the right moment and said softly, "Saint Seiya candidate Wuxin, as the strongest member of the Silver Group in this Cloth competition, you are qualified to choose a Cloth!"

"Come on, unleash your cosmos and gain the approval of the Saint Cloth!"

As she spoke, she gently waved the golden scepter in her hand, and immediately twelve silver beams of light rose up in the arena.

When the light dissipated, everyone could see that they were twelve silver Saint Cloth Boxes.

Sasha summoned all the vacant Saint Cloths in the entire Sanctuary to this place.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Sasha!"
