A Saber! God!

After reaching the Planetary level, Jiang Ming had engaged in many battles, but they were almost all one-sided stomps. Now, after a hundred rounds of combat against himself, the combat experience he was lacking had been replenished.

The same move used by different people would feel different, even if they were at the same cultivation level.

Jiang Ming had the richest combat experience before the Planetary level; the blood of countless monsters had forged his exquisite combat skills.

And now, after replenishing his Stellar level combat experience, Jiang Ming could clearly feel his progress.

"So this is what it's like to have the Domain augment my movement techniques; my body is like fierce fire, my movements like flickering flames.

And this is what it's like to augment defense; flames of light, dispelling all."

Jiang Ming greedily absorbed his own experience from his simulated self, refining his combat style bit by bit.

"It's a shame the virtual universe can't simulate the Stellar Body itself, only my use of the Stellar Body."

After another battle, Jiang Ming defeated his simulated self, who was equal in strength to him, for the first time.

At this moment, Jiang Ming felt some regret, yet also exhilaration.

The moves simulated by the virtual universe came from the countless strong individuals who had performed them over its vast history. In theory, it could simulate any secret technique that had ever been displayed by human civilization, or even the primal universe.

The fact that the virtual universe couldn't simulate the Stellar Body meant that this talent had, at the very least, never appeared in the human territories before him.

But the regret was also for this reason: the Stellar Body originated from Jiang Ming's own talent. In reality, his body could already unleash the third level of the Stellar Body.

However, within the virtual universe, limited by his ordinary Stellar level body and the lack of augmentation from his innate talent, he could only unleash the first form, which he fully understood.

And the simulated Jiang Ming in the virtual universe could naturally only use the first form of the Stellar Body.

"Talent secret techniques are indeed the most suitable for me. Even though I'm only using the first form, it can still amplify my combat power by fivefold."

The Stellar Body could amplify combat power while enduring, immunizing, and absorbing various forms of light and heat.

When Jiang Ming was at the Apprentice and Planetary levels, the first form's amplification could reach ten times, even dozens of times.

But at the Stellar level, this amplification had decreased significantly. The first form, only capable of withstanding temperatures up to 60,000 degrees, was already relatively behind the Stellar level in terms of its tier.

"If I could unleash the second form in the virtual universe, my combat power should achieve an amplification effect of dozens, even a hundred times."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

Thinking this, Jiang Ming became even more eager for the universe crystals within the Thunder World. To improve the tier of his secret techniques, Jiang Ming would need a vast amount of time for study.

The Wheel of Time could help Jiang Ming minimize this time in reality.

"It's time. I should go."

With this thought, Jiang Ming left the Slaughterhouse and entered the Decisive Battle Space.

The Decisive Battle Space was different from the Slaughterhouse. The currency consumed here was one-tenth of that in the Slaughterhouse, and the opponents here were not virtual, but real Warriors.

"Hmm, I still need to pick a codename."

Jiang Ming looked at the prompt that appeared before him and said after some thought.

"God."

An arrogant name would naturally displease others, and when he initiated a challenge, it would naturally reduce the likelihood of others refusing.

The Decisive Battle Space only allowed challenges against opponents of the same tier. Based on their evaluation in the Slaughterhouse, participants were categorized from zero to nine stars.

The initial evaluation was zero, and the highest was nine stars.

If possible, Jiang Ming naturally wanted to challenge nine-star opponents directly. However, as a newcomer with a zero-star evaluation, those nine-star powerhouses were naturally too busy to bother with such newcomers.

Perhaps Jiang Ming's arrogant name had attracted the attention of an opponent, as his first challenge request was directly accepted.

This opponent was rated one star. Jiang Ming didn't care what his codename was.

"Challenge request accepted."

"Transferring to Decisive Battle Space."

Decisive Battle Space.

A metal arena, ten kilometers long and wide, floated on a boundless sea.

A man in black battle armor looked at the prompt that appeared before him and thought to himself.

"God? Such an arrogant name. Let me see if you truly have the strength for it."

As the man in black battle armor pondered, a young man in golden-red battle attire appeared out of thin air, holding a Red Saber.

The Red Saber was just a very ordinary Tier 3 Origin Power Weapon. Jiang Ming had simply chosen it because its appearance was beautiful enough.

Weapons could be chosen freely in the Decisive Battle Space, but Origin Power battle armor could only be selected for one's own tier.

Upon seeing Jiang Ming, the man in black battle armor was about to say a few words, but the next moment, a crimson flash streaked across.

When he came to his senses, the man in black battle armor had already been removed from the Decisive Battle Space.

17 wins, 5 losses!

Looking at the defeat added to his record, the man in black battle armor finally realized what had happened and said.

"I... was instantly killed?"

The man in the black battle armor was in disbelief. Both were Stellar level, so how could someone kill him in one move?

"Is that person really Stellar level?"

Thinking this, the man in the black battle armor quickly checked the battle record of the person he had just fought.

The evaluation, which had been 'None' for Jiang Ming just moments ago, had now changed.

'God', 3 wins, 0 losses, 2 stars.

"Good heavens! He just finished fighting me, and he's already at three wins!"

The man in the black battle armor's pupils trembled. This meant that the opponents in the other two battles had also been instantly killed, just like him.

"No, I have to see who this person really is."

With that thought, the man in the black battle armor immediately paid to apply for spectating.

In the Decisive Battle Space, one could spectate by paying. Some battles between nine-star powerhouses could attract tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of Warriors to watch.

However, the cost was very low, so the profit was not high.

Only battles between Domain Lords and Realm Lords attracted a larger audience and yielded more considerable profits.

Of course, Domain Lords and Realm Lords didn't care much about such small profits.

In the Decisive Battle Space, Jiang Ming faced every opponent with a single strike.

One star was one strike, three stars was one strike, and even five stars was still one strike.

As Jiang Ming's opponents grew stronger, those he had instantly killed began to join the spectators.

They were curious.

They were confused.

How far could this 'God' who could kill them in one strike go?

But as the battles continued, the spectators began to grow numb.

Because no matter the opponent Jiang Ming faced, regardless of their evaluation, how bizarre their movement techniques were, how powerful their attacks, or how strong their defense, One strike!

It was always one strike!

Even if you were six-star or seven-star, you couldn't escape death by a single strike.

At this moment, Jiang Ming's evaluation had reached eight stars.

He had also encountered his first eight-star opponent.

The spectators' hearts filled with anticipation. Surely an eight-star powerhouse wouldn't still be defeated in one strike.

But the next moment, something dreamlike happened.

Eight stars were also defeated in one strike!
