Swallowed Star

Chapter 955: Accepting the Challenge?

Panda Novel

Luo Feng was just listening to Cha Man Emperor and Li Li Emperor complain about how difficult it was to acquire challenges. However, in the blink of an eye, the invitations to battle sent to him had already skyrocketed. After only a few seconds, it reached 30,000!

"This… this is unbelievable," said Luo Feng, his heart pounding at sight of the number. "I hadn't received any invitations to battle last time I checked the black book. It happened so fast!"

Luo Feng had entered the World of Glory just now and had given himself the name "Blade River." Before that, even if other races had wanted to challenge Blade River Emperor, they couldn't find the target. But now, Luo Feng appeared in the open-air square, and almost all the heirs knew about it. As expected, many of them wanted to battle the legendary Blade River Emperor. Besides, Luo Feng was one of the third-level beast god heirs, and out of all seven levels, the third level contained the most heirs.

More than 100 million heirs were at the third level. There were only a few universe knights, whereas hundreds of millions of the heirs were emperors!

Almost all of the talented fighters who went through hundreds of millions of years of training reached the third level. A considerable number of them had completed the third level and started to comprehend the fourth level, like True Yan Emperor. Accordingly, the largest portion of the heirs belonged to the third level, followed by the fourth level. The rest, in descending order, were the second level, the fifth level, the sixth level, the seventh level, and the first level.

The Heaven Erosion Palace Leader represented the seventh-level heirs, who were almost as powerful as beast gods. As strong as they were, only a few dozen reached the seventh level. As for the first level, even the newcomers had some foundation, so there was no one at the first level.

Thousand Rain Emperor, Li Li Emperor, and Cha Man Emperor all noticed that Luo Feng was staring at the black book.

"What are you looking at?" Thousand Rain Emperor shouted.

Hu.

Luo Feng looked at his three friends from the Hong Alliance, knowing he didn't need to hide the news that so many other races were challenging him. He whispered, "I've received tons of invitations to battle."

"Tons of invitations?" they said. All of them were dazed.

"How many have you received?" asked Li Li Emperor. "100?" Realizing something was wrong, he shook his head. "Blade River, you're too famous. You can kill a limit emperor as a sector lord. The heirs here are from hundreds of millions of races throughout the universe. They won't rest until they fight you in a battle, and many of them want to grasp this opportunity to crush you. Hmm… I bet you can receive lots of invitations. Perhaps thousands."

Both Cha Man Emperor and Thousand Rain Emperor looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng blocked the space around them to ensure that only they could hear him as he murmured, "More than 50,000 already."

"50,000?" Li Li Emperor said, opening his eyes wide.

"50,000…" Cha Man Emperor sighed. He had spent an eternity on Bauhinia Island, and he hadn't even taken part in 1,000 battles.

"It's been such a short time," Thousand Rain Emperor said, dazed.

Cha Man Emperor was a bit let down. "It seems," he said, "that I've underestimated how much those other races want to fight you. You're just too famous, and you're only a sector lord. Lots of the treasures and true treasures were absent in the World of Glory. You'll be at a disadvantage when you're fighting them. Not only do they want to fight you; they want to crush you. They think they are superior to you."

Luo Feng glanced at the black book; he had already received more than 60,000 invitations. There were, indeed, lots of great beings from other races who wanted to fight him.

"Blade River Emperor, you're one of the third-level heirs," Thousand Rain Emperor said. "Third-level heirs and fourth-level heirs make up more than 99 percent of all the heirs here. And there are more than 90 million third-level heirs! You'll receive 900,000 invitations to battle even if only one percent of them challenge you."

Luo Feng nodded his head.

"You need to be careful," Thousand Rain Emperor continued. "Don't accept invitations without consideration. All the heirs use the same godly bodies during the battles in the World of Glory, and they're all 100,000 times stronger than the body of a sector lord. You can choose your own look and body type, but your constitution is the same. And you have to choose from weapons within the World of Glory, which are all ordinary weapons. The playing field is kept even. All the treasures you obtained outside and all the special skills you happen to have will disappear. When you're in battle, you can only use fusion laws. All other laws are useless in the World of Glory. Only fusion laws can generate power."

Luo Feng nodded, listening carefully.

"For example," Thousand Rain Emperor continued, "Zhu Chong Emperor is a special organism—unique in the universe. But in the World of Glory, he doesn't have the incredible godly body, the extraordinary techniques, or the true treasures. Thus, he becomes ordinary. He's only at the upper-middle tier of the third-level heirs, and he will drop to one of the lower-middle ones when he becomes a fourth-level heir."

"Yes," Cha Man Emperor said with a frown. "Besides, sector lords' mind powers can't compare to that of an undying fighter. You'll be at a disadvantage."

"Blade River Emperor," Li Li Emperor said, "the powerful fighters are all peerless in their races. Quite a few have come up with their own pinnacle techniques, and several of them even came up with ultimate techniques! As for law comprehension, there are some at the third level that almost complete it. When it comes to body amplification, all of them have their own techniques, and their willpower is top-tier."

Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat. Ultimate techniques?

The Primal Chaos City Leader praised him after he created his own pinnacle techniques. In a place like Bauhinia Island, where hundreds of millions of peerless talented fighters lived, it was unsurprising that lots of them had created their own pinnacle techniques. However, Luo Feng was amazed that several had created ultimate techniques even though they had only completed the first few moves.

The Ancestral God School gathers talented fighters from all the races in the universe, thought Luo Feng. They have various talents and various life forms. Some have incredible godly bodies, and some of them have extraordinary techniques. It's conceivable that a few of them could come up with ultimate techniques.

"You have to think twice before you accept challenges, as a commitment is binding," Cha Man Emperor said. "They'll only be nullified after you lose all your glory points, so you need to be careful."

"Uh-huh," Luo Feng said, nodding.

Suddenly, several voices arose from afar.

"Blade River Emperor!" shouted a voice. "I, Tie Jing Emperor of the demon race, challenge you! Do you dare to accept it?"

"Blade River Emperor, you can name your bet!" another voice cried out. "But apparently, you only have three glory points, so I'll bet you three glory points! Do you have the guts to do so?"

"I highly doubt that Blade River Emperor is that powerful," another jeered. "Perhaps he got famous because he was lucky."

More voices flooded the area. All spoke in human languages. Some were high, and some were low. Some were squeaky, some were like thunder, and some were hoarse and echoing.

All the other races were provoking him. Yes—provoking him! They were all peerless talents within their own races, especially in the world of battle, where all the special effects were void. How could they possibly admit to the power of a sector lord?

"Do you think Blade River Emperor will accept the challenges?" asked a lanky powerful one with nine leaves on its head.

He stood with several others, all of whom were green and black with leaves on their heads. Their skin resembled bark. They were of the Fan Ling Clan and had no genders. All were descendants of the Fan Ling Tree.

"Maybe he will, at first," another replied. "However, he'll realize the powers of the other races after losing once or twice. There are many challenging him this time, and we might not have the chance to fight him. He has only three glory points, and he'll lose all of them in no time. He won't be able to fight after losing them all."

******

Luo Feng did, indeed, want to accept the challenges from the talented fighters of other races. However, he was still rational. He knew he shouldn't underestimate them. They were not just some ordinary powerful fighters from the outer-domain battlefield. Many of them had created their own pinnacle techniques, not to mention those who had created ultimate techniques.

"The number's still increasing," said Luo Feng, looking at his black book. It had already hit 100,000. "Cha Man Emperor?"

"Yes, Blade River?" Cha Man Emperor said, looking at him.

"I've got an idea," said Luo Feng. "You give me the number of the virtual universe. I'll leave the World of Glory and enter the virtual universe to then connect you. Let's have a mock fight in the virtual universe. How does that sound?"

Cha Man Emperor's eyes gleamed. "Good!"

"Clever," Li Li Emperor said with a smile. "You'll have a mock fight in the virtual universe first so you can determine how powerful you actually are compared to other third-level heirs. After that, you'll know who to choose to fight. Cha Man Emperor and I are both upper-middle tier of the third-level heirs. I'll join, too. You can easily learn how powerful you are, relatively speaking, by fighting us."

"Count me in," Thousand Rain Emperor said. "I'm from the Hong Alliance and have the number of the virtual universe, too."

"Haha! Thank you all," Luo Feng said.

Luo Feng had a strong desire to fight after receiving so many challenges. How could he possibly let it go? He didn't know when or if he would receive so many invitation letters again.

After being given the number of the virtual universe, Luo Feng's mind left the World of Glory and connected to the virtual universe.

Inside one of the practice fields in the virtual universe.

A range of rocky cordilleras ran along the practice field. Luo Feng stood on one of the mountains while Thousand Rain Emperor, Li Li Emperor, and Cha Man Emperor stood across from him.

"Blade River!" said Cha Man Emperor. "Let's at least make it a good fight!"

Their battle senses burned brightly—like Seven Blade Emperor and Meng Sui Emperor before, having been silent for a long time. But in terms of power, these fighters were stronger.
