Chapter 874: Arrival of Ascendant State Experts

In space, outside the void continent—

An unremarkable vortex appeared in the vast space, but then attracted everyone’s attention in the nearby warships and cruises when a person stepped out of it.

All of them exclaimed in shock when they clearly saw who the newcomers were.

Huan Lieshen!

Another Ascendant State cultivator had shown up!

The keen media nearby had already focused their cameras on him to stream on their planets.

Wow!

All the people watching the Internet streams throughout the galaxy were excited.

While the consecutive matches were splendid, they could become boring as time went on. However, the newcomer woke everyone up like a nuclear bomb.

It was hard to meet Ascendant State experts. They were the superior leaders, only second to Celestial experts!

“He left his home; he’s out instead of sleeping there?” Hai Tuo put on a smile upon seeing Huan Lieshen.

You Ying snorted, but didn’t offer any comments.

Huan Lieshen then glanced at the continent and then disappeared, to later reappear next to Hai Tuo.

“My lord, it’s been a while,” Huan Lieshen greeted him casually.

Hai Tuo smiled and said, “Have a seat. What brings you here?”

“No reason,” said Huan Lieshen, choosing not to confess the truth to prevent that pair from competing with him.

Hai Tuo seemed to have seen through him. He asked thoughtfully, “Did one of them attract your attention?”

Huan Lieshen laughed and said, “How would that be possible?”

Hai Tuo glanced at him and chuckled, but he didn’t ask further.

You Ying frowned every so slightly. He wasn’t familiar with Huan Lieshen; they had even fought in the past. He speculated that the only reason the man would be willing to show up was because one of the contestants had caught his fancy.

At the same time—after Huan Lieshen’s arrival—the atmosphere in the ten regions became even more heated.

The contestants also learned of the Ascendant’s arrival through the announcement on the Internet. They knew he was a strong expert who had mastered an S-rated mysterious realm.

However, all the students of the five academies had weird expressions when they learned of his arrival. They thought of Su Ping at the same time.

Is Lord Huan Lieshen here for Su Ping?

Their hearts began to beat faster once they recalled that Su Ping had indirectly declined Huan Lieshen’s invitation; they wouldn’t have hesitated to accept such an invitation if given the chance.

After all, it was the invitation of an Ascendant State cultivator!

No matter how arrogant they were, their ultimate goal was to become great beings like him.

“Huan Lieshen is here! I feel that there’s still hope for me!”

“Another Ascendant State expert is here! The odds of me being picked are now higher! I’m doing fine!”

“I must rise to the top hundred! I cannot admit defeat easily!”

The matches became even more intense.

Very soon, the tenth round was over, and 639 contestants secured ten victories!

It wasn’t a bad thing for that many people to get ten victories out of hundreds of thousands of geniuses.

“The top hundred will probably be among them.”

“The error margin will be within ten!”

“Five hundred of them will be eliminated. The odds of winning are one sixth. The top hundred are geniuses among geniuses!”

“I wonder if anyone will have a go at winning all the fifteen battles.”

“That would be pointless. The lord didn’t promise any rewards to discourage them. After all, fifteen consecutive victories are dozens of times more difficult than ten consecutive victories!”

“Every consecutive victory means double the difficulty!”

“Trying my best for fifteen victories is pointless. It would only expose my trump cards and may result in me losing afterwards!”

There were discussions everywhere on the Internet once the ten rounds were over.

The Star State battle pet warriors and tamers emerged and analyzed the 639 winners; there was already a prediction of the top hundred on the Internet.

“Dragon Emperor, are you going to participate in the following rounds?”

In a certain region—two students of the Dragon Tomb Academy were gathered around Dragon Emperor. They happened to have been assigned to the same region.

Dragon Emperor snorted and said, “Of course not. It’s pointless. I would have considered striving for fifteen victories in other years, but not this time. I don’t want to run into that guy!”

Both students became gloomy as they thought of the same person.

Indeed; that man was capable enough to deserve Dragon Emperor’s wariness.

In the fifth region—

Su Ping took a break in the waiting area after his ten victories. He didn’t bother to take part in the following rounds; after all, he wouldn’t earn anything except popularity. He preferred to use the time to cultivate.

Exactly at that moment—Su Ping sensed something and looked up at space.

Green Lady is drawing close.

A gargantuan blue planet was rushing close like a meteorite; as fast as a warship, with a glittering tail behind it.

It instantly attracted the attention of a lot of people.

Above the continent—Hai Tuo and the others noticed it too and looked up in surprise.

“An imbalanced planet? Wait, there’s Ascendant State power covering it.” You Ying had keen senses, so he slightly narrowed his eyes.

Hai Tuo also raised his eyebrows. An Ascendant pushed a planet over? Who is it?

Huan Lieshen also looked at it. None of the Ascendants he knew had such a style. Only the Old Boxer had a similar quirk, but he only pushed the Heavenly Fist Mountain in space.

Whoosh!

Hai Tuo suddenly disappeared and then reappeared outside of the void continent. He knew that the newcomer would probably stop, but he wanted to be safe.

Very soon, the rushing planet entered the scope of all the media. Then, it quickly decelerated until it stopped above the void continent. A magnificent power was spread out, pushing the nearby warships away to create a channel.

The enormous planet stopped in the middle of the channel in front of Hai Tuo.

“Who are you? Why are you here?” Hai Tuo gazed at the planet with great interest and quickly focused his eyes on a store located on one of the planet’s continents.

He had scanned the entire planet; even the dust and the worms could be seen with clarity. However, only the store remained impenetrable.

The Ascendant State stranger had to be living there.

“I’m here for a friend. It’s none of your business.” A cold thought came from the planet.

Hai Tuo frowned a bit. For a friend? Which friend? Huan Lieshen or You Ying?

He turned back, only to find that You Ying and Huan Lieshen were still back there in the temple. He was puzzled; they would have approached to welcome her if they were acquainted.

Is her friend someone else?

He suddenly thought of the contestants on the continent.

Is it possible that this Ascendant’s friend is one of the little guys competing?

He was quite shocked by the thought; a Fate State cultivator could hardly be their student, not to mention a friend. Does one of the contestants have a powerful background, to have forged a friendship with this Ascendant State expert?

Or was this friendship beyond level and rank?

That was not uncommon. Some Ascendants would make good friends with ordinary people during their travels.

“I don’t think you’re from this galaxy, are you?” asked Hai Tuo curiously.

He knew all the local Ascendant State experts; most of them were his friends.

They wouldn’t have stayed there if they weren’t.

“Why? I can’t come here if I’m not a local?” said Green Lady with a cold tone; still, her voice was distant and beautiful. It sounded more enjoyable than music.

After having traveled to many worlds along with the Deity King, she had never concerned herself with peer Ascendant experts. All of them had to kneel before the Deity King.

However, things had changed. Each Ascendant could fight as a group with their battle pets, which made her feel wary.

Still, she wouldn’t be caught if she was determined to run. Besides, she was fearless while staying in Su Ping’s strange shop; if it was preventing her from going out, it could also stop other Ascendants from breaking in.

Furthermore, she vaguely felt as if she would be annihilated by an imaginable power if she actually left the store!

Going by the same logic, if anyone broke into the shop, they would also be annihilated!

That was why she wasn’t scared of any Ascendant State experts.

“You certainly can.” Hai Tuo narrowed his eyes, but he didn’t burst out in fury. Being the lord of the galaxy would entail having pride, but also forgiveness. His position as lord would never be steady if he regarded anyone who was unfriendly as an enemy.

“If you’re here for a friend, why don’t you join us for a drink? We have a better view here,” Hai Tuo invited her with a smile.

“That will be unnecessary.” The Green Lady harshly turned him down.

Hai Tuo raised his eyebrows, feeling that she was too arrogant; she was showing no respect for any of the three Ascendants present. Was she confident of defeating all of them at once?

Or maybe, was she born with such a temper?

Or was she a Celestial’s student from another galaxy?

Hai Tuo didn’t try to find the truth. He didn’t want to infuriate such an arrogant Ascendant State cultivator, but he wouldn’t suck up to her, either.

Whoosh!

Hai Tuo returned to his seat in the garden.

“It seems that not everybody has respect for a lord,” You Ying chuckled and said.

Hai Tuo glanced at him. The other two had also heard their conversation but neither got angry. Obviously, they were also wary.

After all, most people who were arrogant in this world had enough reason to.

“Do you think I don’t have enough trouble? Why don’t you deal with her?” snapped Hai Tuo.

You Ying chuckled but didn’t press on the matter.

Huan Lieshen, however, thought quickly. He remembered that the little guy named Su Ping was from the Planet of Origin, a planet that was thought to be barren and abandoned, but still had living creatures.

He had no background, yet he had risen unimaginably on such a poor planet; there had to be someone backing him.

Did this unknown Ascendant come here because of him?

The more Huan Lieshen thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If she were Su Ping’s master, then things would become tricky; but if they were just friends, he would still have a chance to get a disciple.

He has an Ascendant State expert as a friend. No wonder he turned down my offer so casually. Huan Lieshen was further reassured.

Su Ping behaved as if he would have met Ascendants on a frequent basis when they met.

Another round of exclamations was spread on the Internet when Green Lady arrived.

Another Ascendant State expert showed up after Huan Lieshen did, and she brought a planet over!

Because of a friend? Who is her friend?

Someone had soon concluded that her friend was neither You Ying nor Huan Lieshen, so it could only be one of the contestants.

Such a guess was both shocking and exciting.

For a Fate State warrior to call an Ascendant a friend was like a beggar calling an emperor brother. It was unbelievable!

“My planet...”

On a certain planet—a brawny middle-aged man couldn’t help but moan. He didn’t expect that his planet would actually travel all the way to the void continent.

“Haha. Rhea is really going to be famous this time.”

“I never would have thought that the Ascendant State expert would be this loyal to Brother Heaven Destroyer. Brother Heaven Destroyer is truly extraordinary!”

“As expected of Brother Heaven Destroyer. No mere mortal could have come up with such an awesome nickname.”

“Brother Heaven Destroyer truly has the power to destroy heaven. He’s already a friend of an Ascendant State expert. What will he become?”

On the planet—members of the Alliance of Stars were gathered to watch Su Ping’s battles.

Xingyue Shen’er was seated at the center with a weird expression. She had always been bold because she had her father to back her; she didn’t know that Su Ping had such an intimate Ascendant State supporter too.

At this moment, a Star State member received a message. Delighted, he quickly said to Xingyue Shen’er, “Leader, I’ve found the last material.”

Xingyue Shen’er’s eyes glittered. She put on a smile and said, “Not bad. I’ll remember your contribution, and I will also let him know.”

“How are we going to send the materials to Brother Heaven Destroyer? He’s still in the middle of the matches.”

“We have to wait until the matches are over.”

“These are cultivation materials. Brother Heaven Destroyer can easily win all of Silvy’s matches. He doesn’t need the materials badly,” all the others said.
