After fighting for a while, Sett felt bored, so he kicked the man out of the bar and went back to his drink.
"Small matter. The thing I hate most is people who act all high and mighty. I don't care whose disciple he is, I'll beat him regardless," Sett said to Sanying.
"This..." Sanying couldn't figure out how things had developed this way, and he didn't know what to do.
However, he figured that since they were in the Virtual Universe, the problem shouldn't be too serious.
"You still need to be careful. Make sure you don't expose your location in the real world," Sanying quickly warned, fearing the man might go back to file a complaint.
"Hmm, thanks." Sett naturally wasn't afraid; even if Dark Star Venerable came in person, he couldn't beat Zhenlian King.
Heh, having a King-level powerhouse by my side is great. I can act as arrogant as I want, Sett thought to himself. If he weren't with Zhenlian King, he wouldn't dare to be this cocky.
"Let's go, back to the Killing Field duel space. I'm only at one star right now, and I can't even find any experts," Sett said, pulling Sanying along.
"Alright, let's continue training in the duel space!" Sanying also had a heart set on becoming stronger; being favored by a World Lord meant his cultivation was naturally very diligent.
Walking back into the massive Killing Hall, Sett began sending out duel requests.
"You tell me, these people are so reserved. It's just four stars, why won't they accept a duel request?" Sett complained repeatedly.
"Who told you to only have a one-star rating, and you've only fought three matches," Sanying said with a smile. He knew how powerful his newly acquainted friend was.
"You need to expose your own traits, then experts will challenge you," Sanying added.
"Like what?" Sett asked.
"Like a domain or something. If you have a domain, the duel space will note it in the back. If you have a domain at the planetary level nine, naturally many powerhouses will be willing to challenge you," Sanying replied, though he wasn't sure if Sett actually had one.
"A domain, huh? What level would my four-layered domain be considered?" Sett perked up at the mention of a domain and said with a smile.
"What? A four-layered domain? You're only at planetary level nine, right? To have a four-layered domain... I really don't know how you cultivate," Sanying sighed. "Even my master only had a one-layered domain at planetary level nine, and I'm still a bit away from even finding the feeling of a domain."
"Alright, I'm going to go fight. My hands are itching again," Sett said as soon as he saw someone accept the challenge.
With a flash before his eyes, Sett arrived in the duel space once more.
On the ten-kilometer-wide arena, a person was already standing there.
The man wore gauntlets, was bald, stood two meters tall, and had a very imposing aura.
"If I weren't bored, I wouldn't be fighting a weakling with a one-star rating like you." The bald man's name was 'Quanba', a four-star rated expert.
"Don't tell me you actually think you're amazing just because you won three matches in a row? No way, really?" 'Quanba' mocked again.
"Can you stop with that passive-aggressive tone!" Sett couldn't stand this kind of attitude. If people acting high and mighty were his number one annoyance, then passive-aggressive people were number two.
Sett jumped onto the arena, and a faint golden light radiated from his body!
It was the Domain of Metal.
"What? You actually have a domain? No wonder you're so arrogant. But don't think you're the only one with a domain." Seeing Sett reveal his domain, 'Quanba' didn't show any weakness and released his own golden domain as well.
It was a golden domain just like Sett's; it seemed he was also a metal-attribute martial artist.
"That's it? You have the nerve to call that a domain?" The domain Sett released quickly suppressed 'Quanba's' domain.
After all, it was a four-layered domain; suppressing a single-layered domain was naturally a breeze.
"Ah, this?" The bald man's mouth hung wide open as he saw his domain being suppressed. He never imagined Sett's domain would be this powerful.
"Hmph! Even if my domain is suppressed, I can still beat you. Take this!" The man stopped talking trash and raised his fists, charging at Sett.
The fists covered in gauntlets moved with incredible speed, and it was clear his force-exertion techniques were highly advanced.
But they still couldn't compare to Sett's terrifying fists.
With a ten-fold force-exertion technique combined with the Domain of Metal, he didn't even need to use Pummel; a single punch sent 'Quanba' stumbling back repeatedly.
"So strong!" Quanba was secretly shocked. He felt as if his right hand was about to be broken, the pain unbearable.
Pummel!
You crave a fight, your hands are itching, and you are looking for a brawl.
The passive reminder of Pummel triggered.
Sett, whose hands were itching, didn't waste any words and threw a punch at 'Quanba' with lightning speed.
That punch was twice as powerful as the last; a full 20-fold force-exertion level slammed into Quanba, containing an unfathomable amount of power.
Quanba's reaction was extremely fast—after all, he was a four-star rated expert—and he prepared to dodge the incoming fist.
But Sett's fist was far too fast; there was no way he could dodge it easily.
"Dodge it!" Quanba screamed in his heart, but he could only watch as the fist slammed into him.
After being struck, Quanba was like a kite with a broken string, sent flying directly out of the arena.
The Boss's fourth match, victory!
The Virtual Universe's notification arrived quickly, and 'Quanba' hadn't even flown out of the arena before it was clear he had been killed by Sett's single punch.
And this guy has the nerve to call himself Quanba with this kind of strength, Sett thought to himself, then appeared back in the Killing Hall, next to Sanying.
"You used your domain. Look, the description behind you says you have a domain now," Sanying said to the newly appeared Sett while looking at the screen.
"Yeah, I originally thought I'd wait until I met an expert I couldn't beat to use it, but after what you said, I decided to use it early so I could meet experts sooner, heh." Sett laughed. "My hands are itching, and I'm craving a fight, but so far, I haven't met anyone who can actually put up a challenge."
"Fine, fine, you're the best, happy now?" Sanying said with a smile.
"Hm? Looks like someone has sent me an invitation. Let's meet again in two hours; you should go and duel them too, I think your strength is quite decent," Sett said as he noticed a duel invitation pop up on his screen.
"I'm still far behind you. It seems I need to work hard as well; I can't let you pull too far ahead," Sanying nodded and sent out a duel request of his own.
"To think a one-star has a domain; you must be the disciple of some expert. My fighting spirit is burning," a man wearing a cloak said on the arena stage.
The man whose face was obscured was called Masked Killer, a seven-star powerhouse with 1,029 wins and 98 losses—truly formidable.
"I wonder if you're worth the effort. So far, no one has been able to take three moves from me," Sett said, his fighting spirit soaring as he looked at the impressive stats of Masked Killer.
"You've only won four matches. Now, I'll show you just how powerful a seven-star expert can be," Masked Killer said in a gloomy voice, drawing the long sword from his back.
"Watch yourself, blades have no eyes!" Masked Killer unleashed a cyan domain.
It appeared to be a second-layer Domain of Wood, making him quite a strong expert for a ninth-level planetary rank; he could even be considered a genius.
"Rotten wood cannot be carved!" The cyan domain combined with the cyan long sword, releasing a thick sword aura that thrust toward Sett.
Pummel!
Sett didn't show any weakness, unleashing his fourth-layer Domain of Metal, his hands glowing with golden light.
Bang! Bang!
With lightning-fast reflexes, Sett punched the sword aura, shattering it instantly. His other fist hammered toward Masked Killer.
"Rotten wood can be carved!" Masked Killer shouted, slashing out a sword aura even more powerful than the last.
The cyan sword aura was faster and fiercer, as if it could shred anything in its path.
But it was still blasted apart by a single punch from The Boss.
Haymaker!
Sett gripped his fists, pulling them back behind his shoulders to charge up immense power before launching a strike at the Masked Killer in front of him!
Boom!
A massive fist shadow appeared before Sett, hammering forward.
"What is this? I'll dodge!" Masked Killer had opened with his two strongest moves, but they were neutralized by Sett's punches, and now he was facing a massive fist shadow.
The Haymaker was as fast as lightning; there was no way to dodge it easily.
This The Boss is incredible! Masked Killer thought in his final moment before reappearing in the Killing Hall.
The Boss, fifth match! Victory!
"Easy peasy." Sett emerged and immediately sent out another challenge request.
Every one of Sett's battles was incredibly fast; he returned victorious after only two or three punches.
The most time-consuming part was the trash talk before the duel; the actual combat was resolved in just a few breaths.
Two-star rating!
Three-star rating!
Ever since Sett revealed his domain, he had been challenged by experts of at least four stars or higher, so his rating naturally skyrocketed.
"Haha, satisfying!" Soon, Sett reached a hundred-win streak, feeling thoroughly satisfied.
"That was enough fun for today, let's fight again tomorrow." Sett, rarely having free time, didn't want to overexert himself. After reaching a hundred wins, he chose to rest, planning to explore the Virtual Universe properly.
