"Let alone you, I've only seen him once, and that was when he took the number one spot." The Lean Man by his side added, inevitably sighing with emotion: "Although this person already has the title of 'Ancient King Successor' within the Bronze Sect, with a Probability much higher than another Star Seed nad Shen Yi'an, even so, his style of doing things is extrely low-key. Even Core mbers don't get to see him many tis in a year."
"Coming from a Barren Planet, yet having cultivated such a good temperant; his Unshakable Resolve."
Soone at the back interrupted, "Brother, does he know you? Why are you blowing his horn so much?"
Being teased a few tis, the Lean Man with an emotional look wasn't angry, but instead said: "This isn't blowing his horn. This person rose from a Barren Planet, walked step by step to his current position, and still has no haughtiness. Living in Seclusion, Laconic. If I don't praise this kind of person, should I praise those Noble-borns?"
Hearing this, the person behind thought for a mont and nodded Deeply Convinced: "True, let's hope this Star Seed with a not-so-good background can go a bit further."
"He'll probably go even further than you imagine." The Bearded Man said: "Counting the Star Seeds, according to the Prophet Society's news, there are fifteen people who have explicitly achieved Molten Casting Sacred Profession, and about five who are uncertain whether they have."
"According to the Betting Odds on the Underground Market, the Betting Odds for Su Chen placing twenty-first is 1:2. Do you know how exaggerated this Betting Odds is?"
ntioning gambling odds, more people joined the discussion.
"He's only a 6th-Tier Professional, yet a large portion of people believe his strength is already second only to those 7th-Tier Professionals who have achieved Molten Casting Sacred Profession. Even the Betting Odds for placing twentieth is 1:10."
A young man asked: "Then what are his Betting Odds for becoming Star Pri?"
The words of the discussing crowd faltered. A mont later, a voice sounded: "1:200."
"1:200? Such big Betting Odds?"
"You call this big?"
A large group of people looked over, and soone inevitably sneered: "I say, brother, you don't usually play the Underground Market, do you? Do you know what the Betting Odds are for a slightly lower-ranked 7th-Tier to beco Star Pri?"
"1:2000! That kind of Betting Odds is just for looking. Su Chen being at 1:200 is already extrely exaggerated; maybe soone will really bet on it."
"Is that so?" Being teased for a while, the young man was inevitably sheepish. "I haven't really been in contact with gambling odds. Does brother have a link? I want to go down and play a bit."
"I have one here." The Bearded Man actively responded.
Soone beside them, unknown who, gloomily transmitted a sentence: "Those who encourage others to gamble will not have a good death."
The Bearded Man's expression turned cold. He turned his head to look, but it was a stooped old man who looked weak enough to be blown over by the wind.
But he didn't dare ignore him and could only grunt muffledly.
Silver City Transit Hub. This was a small transit hub under the jurisdiction of the Bronze Sect. The passing spaceships were not considered luxurious.
On the hub's streets, people ca and went in a continuous stream. A boy who looked quite young suddenly stopped, looking up at the Virtual Screen overhead.
Beside him, a robust man who looked sowhat rustic also stopped. Sporting a buzz cut and knotted muscles, he followed the boy's gaze.
On the Virtual Screen overhead was a quite handso face, slowly walking along a corridor.
"Su Chen, Star Seed Su..." The middle-aged man had an emotional expression, his voice broad and thick: "Chuaner, this Star Seed Su's conditions were even worse than yours. Yet now he has quite a reputation throughout the entire Dust Star Sea. With the status of a 6th-Tier Professional, he holds the number one spot on the Preliminary Rankings of the Peak Star Tournant, suppressing a bunch of 7th-Tiers so they can't even lift their heads."
"Dad," the boy looked up, a trace of black light seeming to flash through his eyes as he said proudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely make him my goal."
...
"Haha, make him your goal? If you can pass the screening and enter the Holy Hall, our family can be considered to have had a Stroke of Luck." The man laughed heartily, patting his son's shoulder. "Let's go, we still have to hurry on our way, otherwise we won't make it for the third assessnt."
Although he said so, he also couldn't help but look up a few tis, muttering: "In the past, this Peak Star Tournant only started live broadcasting to the public during the latter half of the Elimination Rounds. Why is it being broadcast from the very beginning this ti?"
The boy withdrew his gaze. Although he had a smile on his face, his gaze was cold and silent as he followed behind the robust man and rged into the crowd.
"Su Chen..." On the Observation Grandstand, Zhou Lingtian cast his gaze down, sighing with emotion: "This young lad, I'm afraid he will dominate the Peak Star Tournant for the next ten or twenty years."
"Speaking of which, this kind of situation hasn't occurred in past Peak Star Tournants. Is the Star Pri allowed to serve consecutive terms?"
Chu Lingyuan chuckled: "Brother Zhou is exaggerating too much. The Dust Star Sea is Hidden Talents, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. At least for this current tournant, he can only act as a foil."
Just as he was speaking, his gaze froze slightly. Tapping his finger on the armrest, his voice beca much colder: "Prying on a Junior Generation isn't quite appropriate, is it?"
Hearing this, Wu Yue restrained his expression, rely glancing down indifferently before losing interest.
"With his aptitude, nine tis out of ten he should be able to obtain Hao Ri's Recognition." Li Qingyi spoke. "A Twin-Dragon is hard to say, but a One-Dragon is definitely enough."
ntioning this matter, apart from Chu Lingyuan, the expressions of the other Morning Star Tiers changed sowhat.
The current situation was special; the value of being Recognized by the Spirit of the Vast Sun was far greater than being Star Pri. Although Su Chen couldn't beco Star Pri, if he could be Recognized...
"The Bronze Sect really has good luck." Wu Yue spoke neither salty nor blandly, gritting his teeth on the word "luck."
"Everything is still unknown, and nothing can be said for sure. Let us just watch." Chu Lingyuan continued to play dumb, showing no joy.
Right now, it was actually hard to say whether being Recognized was a good thing or not.
The greatest value of selecting a The Recognized was to act as a dium to open the path to the Solar Fla. Moreover, being under the watchful eyes of the Ancient Kings, this kid Su Chen had quite a few secrets on him.
But if they acted by Attending to One but Losing the Other and didn't let Su Chen participate, that was also impossible. That was the Spirit of the Vast Sun, after all! Even if it was only the lowest level of Recognition, perhaps there would be benefits.
"What is this thing?" Su Chen walked in the corridor, looking at the Silver-white tallic Sphere tumbling and circling up and down in front of him.
"This is for live broadcasting outside."
"Live broadcasting?" Su Chen paused his steps, sowhat stunned.
"Yeah," Chu Ran said matter-of-factly, "This is the Peak Star Tournant. Who knows how many gambling pools are outside, and all the Factions also want to see the performance of their juniors. At this stage, it's generally broadcast live."
Su Chen glanced again at the silver tal sphere flying up and down, truly feeling a baffling sense of déjà vu: "Alright."
Walking out of the specially constructed corridor, they arrived beneath the tower. Instantly, several gazes looked over.
Han Xingliu, Xiao Linfeng, Sheng Huaixu, Luo Yao... Su Chen scanned a large number of familiar faces at a glance, his gaze brushing past theirs.
Han Xingliu slowly exhaled. Seeing Su Chen, he inevitably had so emotional fluctuations in his heart, but quickly suppressed them. "Focus on the Star Pri. With the Kings paying attention right now, being the first to be Recognized might not necessarily be a good thing."
Sheng Huaixu withdrew his gaze, his expression indifferent: "He does have good luck. A Dual Divine Dawn Talent, and so young. He can't beco Star Pri, yet he might be Recognized by the Spirit of the Vast Sun."
He could still take the position of Star Pri in the next tournant; the benefits would all go to him.
"Unfortunately, he is a Star Seed of the Bronze Sect, not my True Martial Sect..." Thinking of this, Sheng Huaixu shook his head imperceptibly. If it were a Star Seed of the True Martial Sect, whether he could survive until now was still unknown.
The True Martial Sect was not a greenhouse like the Bronze Sect. Even the internal sect rankings didn't involve To Fight Fiercely in close combat. Although this avoided many disputes, it also lost its sharpness and bloodlust.
He didn't have much animosity towards Su Chen, only a bit more scrutiny because of the years of deep-seated grudges between their two sects.
In an all-out fight, this person was currently far from being his opponent, nor was he the opponent of Han Xingliu, Luo Yao, and the others.
As for whether he could be Recognized by the Spirit of the Vast Sun, it wasn't a singular quota, and it wasn't up to them anyway. Whether one succeeded or not depended entirely on the Spirituality's preference; there was no competition.
"He and I should be the two with the highest Probability." Xiao Linfeng's gaze flickered. "Although he is young, my strength is also greater than his. Our Probability should be about the sa."
With the Peak Star Tournant advancing so abnormally, the Longriver Clan behind him had already learned of so hidden details.
He had been excited for several days, both expectant and sowhat worried. He naturally wanted the Recognition of the Spirit of the Vast Sun, but he wasn't soone from the Five Great Sects after all. After being Recognized, it might not necessarily be a good thing.
"But if there are no accidents, I'm afraid I can only stop at Dual Ninth-Rank. Even with my aptitude, what use is it to only be able to contend with slightly weaker Morning Stars?"
"If I don't take a gamble, if I can get the Recognition of the Spirit of the Vast Sun, maybe I'll still have a chance to beco a Star Seed, or even advance further."
Su Chen's arrival caused so of those present who knew the inside story to associate him with the Spirit of the Vast Sun. Each had their own considerations and found it hard to calm down.
Su Chen had already walked to the side of Wei Zhenghong and Shen Yi'an, who had arrived earlier: "Old Wei, Brother Shen."
Shen Yi'an smiled slightly, his mood inevitably sowhat complex. The Spirit of the Vast Sun, huh...
"Heh," Old Wei's mouth twitched. He glanced at Chu Ran, speaking unpleasantly, "Why didn't you co when you were called for the gathering last ti?"
"I was busy with other things." Su Chen explained with a chuckle.
Wei Zhenghong was just bringing it up casually. He looked again at Chu Ran who was leaning in on the side, frowning as he scolded: "Why aren't you leaving yet? You don't even have the qualifications to participate in the competition, what are you doing staying here? Are you very proud to get in with your status?"
Chu Ran's face stiffened. He originally wanted to watch the excitent here for a while, but looking at Wei Zhenghong's stern eyes, he didn't dare refute and slipped away dejectedly.
Wei Zhenghong sighed, looking again at Su Chen: "This Spirit of the Vast Sun, how much certainty do you have?"
Su Chen gave him a surprised look, Vague Prevarication: "What certainty or no certainty is there? Spirituality is unpredictable; how could we influence it?"
Wei Zhenghong shook his head, his mouth twitching open: "Even though you say that, if you can't even get Recognized, others can forget about it."
Su Chen was secretly speechless. He had already been Recognized, how could he possibly be Recognized a second ti?
Just as he was about to say sothing, his gaze froze. An extrely intense sense of oppression descended from the sky, and everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on them.
The faint, noisy sounds around imdiately ceased. They couldn't help but look up.
Sure enough, unknown when, six figures were already standing in the Firmant. The Morning Star Tiers had already stood up to welco them.
The Ancient Kings of the other sects and the Vast Sea Emperor... Su Chen narrowed his eyes, just about to size them up, but was horrified to feel his body sink as five substantive gazes pressed down.
He hadn't even sized up those Ancient Kings, yet they had already cast their gazes upon him.
"This child is Su Chen?" The Vast Sea Emperor draped in a pale golden cloak cast his gaze down. A ring faintly appeared in his pupils, but before it fully ford, it shattered.
The Bronze Ancient King was very unceremonious, "Han Hai, don't go too far."
The Vast Sea Emperor didn't mind. He unceremoniously picked a central seat and sat down. "It seems he is indeed very favored by you."
"An imposing appearance, not bad." The Xuantian Ancient King chuckled lightly.
The Zhenwu Ancient King snorted coldly and looked away. Although this child's reputation was brilliant, if he really wanted to reach their level, there was still a very long distance.
The other Ancient Kings rely glanced and didn't delve deeper.
Su Chen only felt the pressure on his body loosen, and the several gazes cast upon him moved away at the sa ti. He secretly complained in his heart: "What I did was called not seeing clearly; what you guys did is called arrogance and disregard."
Turning his gaze, it landed on the withered figure beside the Ancient Kings, and he couldn't help but freeze: "Is that Qin Yun? How did she beco like this?"
Qin Yun's face was numb, her gaze hollow, and she already had white hair at her temples. She was like a completely different person from her graceful bearing when they first t.
"The price of Anchoring Spirituality is so imnse." Su Chen clicked his tongue inwardly.
The Ancient Kings had all taken their seats. Only the Bronze Ancient King still stood in the Firmant. Many gazes were cast upon him, and his grand voice resounded: "From the beginning of the first Peak Star Tournant, there have been three hundred and twelve tournants. They have continued uninterrupted through history, with geniuses erging in each. It is a grand event in the Dust Star Sea..."
The voice echoed through the sky, yet it didn't feel ear-piercing. Everyone held their Bated Breath, listening quietly.
After talking about the past for a while, the Bronze Ancient King got to the main point: "However, this tournant is unusual compared to previous ones, so there will be a change in the competition format."
As his voice fell, he reached out and pinched. A differently colored Streaking Light floated from each of the other five Ancient Kings, rging together with the Bronze Ancient King's own Data flow, turning into a misty radiance.
He didn't ntion why it was changed. All appeasent and communication had already been completed in secret. Those who didn't yet know about the format change weren't qualified to be at the table and didn't need an explanation.
"There will be no arenas. All participants will enter the Challenge Room in the tower individually. There is only one battle target, and that is this 'Kingly Phantom'."
The Bronze Ancient King pointed a finger. That misty radiance interwoven and flowed, already gradually forming an illusory figure atop the Apex Star Arena Tower.
Kingly Phantom? Everyone's gazes narrowed, looking over. They saw that the illusory figure had already solidified like a real person, its expression solemn, its eyes lowered, sinking into the tower.
Before they had ti to size it up carefully, the Bronze Ancient King's voice was indifferent: "This is condensed from the power of the six of us. At the sa ti, the Danger Perception System in the tower will be canceled, so there will be mortal danger."
"If anyone wishes to forfeit, you may leave now."
As his voice fell, the arena was silent for a ti. Everyone's gazes were fixed on that substantive 'Kingly Phantom', their eyes trembling with fear, their throats bobbing.
Condensed from the power of the six Kings?
