At the sa ti, on the other side of the arena.
A burly man, as if sculpted from clay, sat cross-legged deep beneath the desert, carrying a gourd on his back. This was his favorite terrain, where he had the highest winning rate.
As a mber of the human barbarian tribe, Luo Gang had lived in the desert since childhood and possessed a rare Heaven-grade Earth Spiritual Root. He could instantly master any earth-based spell, making him an unparalleled genius in the barbarian tribe, unseen in a thousand years.
Because of this, he was able to pass the pyramid trial and obtain the only trial token.
At this mont, the first Chosen of the Luo family, known for his fiery temperant, was trembling slightly, unsure if it was from fear or excitent.
"Four segnts, one hundred and eight stars. I've never encountered such a high star count!"
"The opponent's strength is probably at the extre of the Elental Infant stage, just a step away from Divine Transformation!"
In Luo Gang's tribe, there was no concept of the Extre Realm, but they could roughly gauge strength by the opponent's star count.
Generally speaking, one to ten stars indicated the early Elental Infant stage.
Above twenty stars was the late Elental Infant stage.
Luo Gang could reach thirty-seven stars, which was already the Great Perfection of the Elental Infant stage, making him nearly unbeatable in the sa realm.
One hundred and eight stars could only an one thing: invincible in the sa realm, winning every match, accumulating such a high star count.
Honestly, Luo Gang had no hope of winning.
But his purpose for coming to the rankings was to accumulate battle experience and improve himself. Winning or losing was not important to him.
No one who reached the Elental Infant level would care about these things. Controlling the number of stars was just to find opponents of similar strength to better improve oneself.
"Three, two, one! Begin!"
As the voice fell.
Luo Gang clapped his palms, and the surging desert began to move, covering the ocean ahead, intending to drown the entire sea.
Going all out was a necessary respect for the strong!
"Divine Ability, Deserted Smoke!"
Luo Gang opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura of desolation swept forward from the center of the desert, engulfing the entire field.
When a spell is infused with the power of intent, it can be transford into a Divine Ability, a power that only Elental Infant cultivators can wield. Those below the Elental Infant stage would die upon contact, as it was a completely different level of power.
Until now, he hadn't sensed the opponent's intent, making Luo Gang even more vigilant, his attacks more ruthless and decisive.
"Co on, let see..."
Luo Gang was eagerly anticipating.
"You have won! Current rank: Four segnts, thirty-eight stars!"
The victory prompt sounded, and Luo Gang had won.
"What?"
Luo Gang was stunned, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. He hadn't even seen the opponent's face, yet he won directly?
His signature Divine Ability wasn't even half completed, just a starting move, and the opponent crumbled like a crushed ant. Even an ordinary Elental Infant stage cultivator shouldn't be so easily defeated, right?
Luo Gang thought for a long ti before barely finding a suitable reason—the opponent probably had too many stars and couldn't find a match, so they intentionally dropped down.
...
Xu Hei lost.
He lost so cleanly and swiftly that he didn't even know who the opponent was or see their face before being crushed by that terrifying intent.
From the start of the battle to its end, it wasn't even a breath's ti. Xu Hei felt no pain, just a blur before his physical body withered into a dry corpse.
"So this is the intent of the Elental Infant stage, it's terrifying."
Experiencing the crushing force of intent firsthand might be the only gain he had.
Xu Hei sighed, realizing that using Mo Xuan's token for rankings was indeed asking for trouble.
Xu Hei also noticed that opponents in other modes matched his own cultivation level, all at the Core Formation stage. Only the ranking mode seed to be bound to the token's owner.
"Miao Miao, can you let face opponents of the sa realm?" Xu Hei asked.
"You can deregister and start from three segnts. Would you like to deregister?" Miao Miao's voice ca.
Xu Hei hesitated slightly, feeling reluctant. After all, he now had the chance to spar with Elental Infant cultivators, an opportunity countless Core Formation cultivators could only dream of.
Though the experience of being instantly killed wasn't pleasant, and he couldn't accumulate any battle experience.
"The only benefit of fighting Elental Infant stage opponents is experiencing their intent."
"Hmm? Wait, intent?"
Xu Hei was pondering when suddenly his eyes lit up, widening in realization.
"I once asked Mo Xuan how to comprehend intent, and Mo Xuan gave this token. Could it be... Mo Xuan's true intention was to let challenge various experts and experience their intents?"
"Is this Elder Mo's true intention?"
Realizing this, Xu Hei's breathing quickened, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seed.
Only by walking the paths of many can one find their own path!
If one battle isn't enough, then two, three, a hundred. If he couldn't comprehend his own intent after battling a hundred Elental Infant stage cultivators, then what difference would he have from a waste?
Xu Hei's gaze suddenly beca resolute.
"Isn't it just getting beaten? It's anonymous anyway, so why not?"
Without hesitation, Xu Hei chose to rank again.
As before, in the ocean terrain, Xu Hei quickly got matched.
"Your opponent: Anonymous; Race: Human; Rank: Thirty-eight stars."
Seeing this information, Xu Hei was taken aback, a thought crossing his mind.
"Could it be the sa person?" Xu Hei mused.
Monts later, when he saw the identical desert terrain, he was certain it was the sa person who had instantly killed him last ti, the mysterious cultivator he hadn't even seen.
This ti, Xu Hei didn't hold back, rising from the sea to reveal his form.
"The battle will begin in ten breaths, please prepare! Ten, nine, eight..."
The voice sounded.
At the sa ti, Luo Gang in the desert also realized it was the sa opponent as last ti, with the opponent's race being a snake, as the information indicated.
Soon after, he saw a black snake rising from the sea.
"A puppet? A mid-stage Core Formation peak puppet, what is the opponent's intention?"
Though he didn't use Divine Sense, Luo Gang's rich experience allowed him to accurately determine the opponent's cultivation level at a glance.
"Hmm? No! This is... the main body?"
Luo Gang squinted, various thoughts running through his mind.
Soon, the countdown ended.
The light barrier between the two battlefields quickly disappeared, and this ti, Luo Gang didn't imdiately attack. Instead, he carefully observed the opponent's reaction. After confirming no harm, he erged from the desert, coming to the forefront of the battlefield to face Xu Hei.
The difference between a living being and a machine is that a living being has intelligence and can communicate normally, not necessarily resorting to fighting.
"Kid, you must have taken your elder's token." Luo Gang said calmly.
"That's right, my master lent the token to experience the intents of various strong individuals." Xu Hei replied sincerely.
Luo Gang's expression turned peculiar.
Ranking once required three thousand points, not free, and the opponent was so careless with the opportunity to fight, just to let a disciple comprehend intent.
This... he didn't know how to comnt.
For a strong individual of this level, couldn't they just find so friends to help the disciple? Why waste points here?
