Three-Minute Battle

The nine members of Top 1 rushed towards Gu Ding Team, not believing that Dokter alone could stop their attack. They even thought that even if Gu Ding Team attacked in full force, they would still lose, because they were Top 1.

But soon they realized they were terribly wrong. Nine Silver Radiance rays shot into the sky, almost bursting out at several times the speed of before.

Apart from the Kass, no one else chose to dodge.

Biggins and the others all opted for an offensive strategy, unleashing their attacks towards the Silver Radiance. Multicolored divine abyss energy quickly covered the entire area where Gu Ding and his group stood.

But soon, a sudden change occurred. The Silver Radiance fired by Dokter shattered the attacks of everyone except Biggins and continued to hurtle toward the remaining seven.

Lato and Boke were immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, quickly dodging the attack.

The other five weren't so lucky. Their strength was ultimately lacking; they couldn't dodge Dokter's attacks in time, and their defenses only slightly hindered the onslaught. They were all hit. Although they avoided potentially serious injuries, the wounds pierced by the throwing knives were frantically draining their divine energy. The five hurriedly took out God Source Potion from their Storage Space, chugging them down like water.

Having barely escaped with their lives, the five quickly withdrew from the battle. They were already incapable of fighting again, their divine energy nearly depleted. If they were to suffer another attack like the one they had just received, they would surely die. This was only because of their strong combat awareness; although they didn't have time to dodge, they all took appropriate defensive measures and tried to avoid their vital points. If it had been someone with weaker combat awareness, they might have been instantly killed by that attack.

Five men were rendered incapacitated in a single move—something the spectators hadn't expected. Their eyes widened, their mouths agape, some gaping so wide they could practically fit a duck egg. Of course, this thrilling match had been recorded from the very beginning. And not just one person. Among the crowd was a moderately famous fighting star who had started a live stream...

Biggins and his team were even more surprised that a single member of the Gu Ding Team was so powerful.

The most surprised was Kass, because she had seen Dokter fight in the Oul Ruins, where Dokter's strength was basically the weakest in Gu Ding Team. Now, Dokter could kill five people who were no weaker than herself with a single move, completely growing to a level that surpassed her own. She found it hard to imagine just how strong Gu Ding and the others had become.

What he didn't know was that the current Dokter was not the same Dokter as before. This current Dokter was a powerful being who had obtained the inheritance of the Starry Sky Giant Beast, and his Combat Strength was actually no weaker than anyone in Gu Ding Team. If Dokter was previously considered a weak point in Gu Ding Team, then now it could be said that Gu Ding Team had no weak points. More accurately, just minutes before Miko Gu Ding Team, Gu Ding Team had no weak points.

Gu Ding and his team knew that Dokter was strong. However, the fact that he incapacitated five people with a single move surprised even Gu Ding Team. Since receiving the Crimson Blood Beast's inheritance, Dokter had never displayed his full Combat Strength. When sparring with each other, they would always hold back, not because they were afraid of being seen, but because some killing techniques couldn't be used on their own team members. If they couldn't control themselves and something went wrong, they would regret it. Dokter's current performance was clearly the result of not holding back at all.

Biggins' expression turned serious. He hadn't expected that, apart from himself, no one else in the team had been able to withstand that Silver Radiance. This meant that their opponent was at least on par with them. But the opponent was clearly just an ordinary member of Gu Ding Team, not the captain, or even the first mate.

Lato and Boke barely dodged the attack, and they were still feeling a lingering fear, unable to imagine what the consequences would have been if they had actually been hit.

Kass, however, remained remarkably calm. She retreated rapidly, landing dozens of meters behind Biggins and the others, a card appearing in her hand. The front of the card depicted a Black Hole. With a flick of her finger, she sent the card vanishing into thin air, while a Black Hole -like object appeared beside her.

Seeing this, the three of them, Biggins, quickly fled to the sides, knowing that Kass was about to unleash his ultimate move.

Sure enough, the Black Hole suddenly shot out a black beam of light that attacked the direction where Gu Ding Team was located.

With a mere flick of his finger, Dokter severed the beam of light with a flash of silver light, obliterating it completely.

But Kass's attack didn't end there. The Black Hole beside her automatically split into two, simultaneously spewing out two more black beams of light. Those two beams were almost identical to the first one.

Dokter still didn't care. Two silver lights flashed and cut the two beams of light in half.

But the Black Hole -like thing next to the Kass has now become four...

Gu Ding and the others understood that the black, Black Hole -like object doubled in number after each attack. At first, it wasn't a big deal, but as it kept doubling, the number of beams of light would increase until it became too many for Dokter to defend against.

Dokter naturally understood this as well. He had no intention of giving the enemy a chance. Although he knew Kass, even in the Oul Ruins, only Gu Ding had spoken a few words to her from Gu Ding Team; she had no connection with the others. Moreover, Dokter didn't intend to kill her; he only wanted to disable her fighting ability.

With a flick of his wrist, a silver light shot out from his sleeve, heading straight for Kass.

But Biggins refused to let Dokter succeed, and he threw a punch at the Silver Radiance.

Dokter's lips curled into a slight smile. Finally, his opponents were playing the game of teamwork instead of swarming at him. He flicked his arm, sending five more throwing knives hurtling out. Two aimed at Biggins, while the other three targeted the three members of the Kass.

Adding to the original throwing knife, Biggins was now surrounded by three throwing knives, leaving him no way to support the others.

Lato and Boke quickly dodged when they saw the Silver Radiance shooting towards them. They knew that the attack power of the throwing knife was completely beyond their ability to resist.

Meanwhile, on the Kass's side, the four Black Radiance suddenly changed their attack direction, merging into one and blasting towards the Silver Radiance.

"This move is interesting, somewhat like the effect of the Energy Gathering Mirror," the Sea Emperor laughed. "Her ability seems to be a forbidden ability as well, but given her cultivation level and the strength of her divine source, the number she can stack is very limited."

Dokter's fingers twitched slightly, and the two throwing knives that had been aimed at Lato and Boke suddenly changed direction, chasing after the two fleeing figures. The two Silver Radiance abruptly changed course, causing a gasp of surprise from the onlookers.

"Dokter's attack has changed direction!"

"What's going on? Why did the attack change direction?"

In fact, many people don't know that the Silver Radiance was actually a throwing knife, and that Dokter used not a divine source attack, but a telekinetic attack. The telekinetic threads could easily control the throwing knife to change direction.

The sudden change in direction of the throwing knife sent a chill down the spines of Lato and Boke. They immediately turned to flee, but the knife also changed course and gave chase. They realized then that escape was impossible; their only option was to defend. They immediately assumed defensive stances, and two Silver Radiance shot towards them. Just as they were being parried, the knife that had been aimed at Kass suddenly changed direction, swiftly piercing their chests from another angle.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

The two men, their chests pierced, quickly fled the battle, frantically chugging potions to replenish their divine energy. Though they weren't dead, they were eliminated, just like the five who had been eliminated before them.

While rapidly depleted divine energy from severe injuries can be quickly replenished with potions or other means, once depleted, returning to combat readiness takes time. At least for the next few hours, the seven members who have already withdrawn from the battle will be unable to rejoin.

The battle has lasted for less than a minute, and seven of the powerful top nine have already lost their Combat Strength, leaving only two people still capable of fighting.

Dokter ignored Biggins, who was entangled with three throwing knives, and instead looked at Kass. The three throwing knives spun in the air and attacked Kass.

The "Black Hole" beside Kass had multiplied into eight, with eight black beams of light surging forth wildly. They quickly coalesced in mid-air, attempting to blast the three flying knives down.

Dokter, however, controlled three throwing knives to bypass the beam of light and spray them directly at Kass.

The beam of light suddenly changed direction, pointing towards the location of Dokter.

The Kass's goal was simple: to trade their lives for others'.

But she was being too naive. When the black beam of light reached Dokter didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he stretched out a hand, palm facing the direction from which the Black Radiance was coming.

"What is he trying to do?" The crowd was astonished.

Soon everyone witnessed a shocking scene: the powerful black beam of light was actually blocked by Dokter's palm. That palm was like an unbreakable shield that could withstand all attacks, steadily catching the blow without Dokter even moving an inch.

Kass was slightly distracted by what she saw; she hadn't expected that her powerful move would be so easily countered by Dokter.

Just as she was lost in thought, three Silver Radiance were already approaching.

Suddenly, Biggins appeared out of nowhere and threw a punch, blocking two of the Silver Radiance. However, he was a fraction too slow and one Silver Radiance escaped. That Silver Radiance passed right through Kass's body without any resistance.

Biggins reached out and pulled Kass out of the fighting circle.

Kass also noticed that her divine energy was being consumed rapidly, so she quickly poured God Source Replenishment Potion into her mouth. After a while, she felt that her condition had stabilized, and she knew that she was no longer able to fight.

On the battlefield, only Biggins and Dokter remain... (To be continued...)
