Red light flickered in Xu Yue's eyes as he looked at Tang Wulin below, as though he saw the shadow of Tang Wulin's father, Tang San, in him.
Was the Class Promotion Tournament really such an important matter?
He had already tried his best to hold back.
Yet there were still people who could not see the gap in strength.
At that moment, the desire for destruction stirred by his bloodline reached an unprecedented peak.
"Enough. Kneel!!!"
A black-red gravitational field descended like heavenly might, enveloping the entire space within a hundred-meter radius.
This Gravity Domain was far more powerful than before.
Everyone felt an inexplicable pressure in their hearts, and even breathing became somewhat difficult, but only Tang Wulin truly experienced the descent of gravity.
Under twenty-four times gravity, Tang Wulin felt his blood slowing toward coagulation.
Every beat of his heart became extraordinarily arduous, and every expansion of his chest consumed immense effort.
With insufficient oxygen reaching his brain, his vision rapidly darkened until everything before his eyes went black.
Even supported by the Golden Dragon King bloodline, he could not withstand such terrifying pressure and instantly collapsed onto the arena.
It had to be said.
The load limit for an ordinary person was roughly five times gravity.
Even professional pilots who had undergone special training and wore anti-G suits could only endure nine to ten times the pressure.
Twenty-four times gravity, even for only a few seconds, could inflict irreversible harm upon an ordinary person.
Even though Soul Masters possessed physiques far surpassing ordinary people, their internal organs could hardly bear a burden twenty-four times their own weight.
Yes, twenty-four times.
Not the eightfold gravity Xu Yue had controlled at the Soul Elder stage.
The reason for this was the thirty percent Permission Authority controlled by the Plane Consciousness, which granted Xu Yue a threefold amplification.
It was not merely a threefold increase in gravity, but in range as well.
With Xu Yue going all out, he could now cover an area five hundred meters in diameter with his Gravity Domain.
In the past, Xu Yue had been unwilling to use this amplification.
It was not that a threefold amplification was not powerful, but because he had learned during his brief communication with the Plane Consciousness—
Although Tang Hao had been injured by Star of Eden's devouring, he was only sleeping briefly to recover.
Once the Permission Authority was used excessively, it would provoke the sleeping Tang Hao.
At that point.
As the Plane Master possessing seventy percent Permission Authority, Tang Hao held an overwhelming advantage in his struggle for the Plane Consciousness's Permission Authority.
One careless mistake, and the thirty percent Permission Authority Xu Yue had gained with such difficulty would be handed back to him.
Tang Hao might even set his sights on Xu Yue himself.
But consumed by fury, Xu Yue had no time to consider so much.
At the same time, two others were watching Xu Yue's every movement without blinking.
They were Tang San's Divine Sense and Gu Yue.
"How could this be... This feeling of the will of heaven and earth descending upon him..."
"Child of the Star?!"
The moment they thought of those three words, their expressions became astonishingly identical.
Shock, confusion, disbelief!
Generally speaking, on a life-bearing planet, beings could roughly be divided into three categories according to the amount of fortune they possessed.
The first were naturally the utterly unremarkable ordinary living beings.
Mundane, ordinary, and vast in number.
The second were Trendsetters.
Such figures were already as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, yet every era would still produce several or even dozens of them.
The three peerless figures of twenty thousand years ago, the three ultimate figures of ten thousand years ago, and the many Demigods of the current era all belonged to this category.
Of course, anyone who reached the level of Super Douluo or above was, in truth, a Trendsetter of their era, leading the way for a time.
The third were Children of Destiny.
Such people were easy to understand. Tang San, Huo Yuhao, Rong Nianbing, and others were the outstanding individuals chosen by a Plane over thousands or tens of thousands of years.
They were special existences capable of advancing the development of a Plane to a certain extent.
For example, Huo Yuhao bore the mission of balancing the relationship between humans and Soul Beasts, preventing the natural ecosystem from declining too severely.
However, because of Electrolux's premature death and no one restraining the expansion of the Spirit Pagoda, this had already ended in failure.
In the current era, Yun Ming could actually be considered a Child of Destiny born in response to fortune.
If not for the deliberate suppression of the Plane Master, he might have been able to lead Douluo Continent's many Quasi-Gods onto a path to godhood.
But above those three categories existed an even more special kind of being.
Children of the Star!
As the name implied, they were children of the stars.
Once a Child of the Star matured, they could rightfully take direct control of a star and become its Plane Master.
Generally speaking, a normal planet with a Plane Consciousness would not choose to give birth to such an existence.
Yet given Douluo Planet's current special state, together with the empowerment of the Herrscher status, Xu Yue naturally became a Child of the Star who should never have existed.
"Child of the Star... So that was it!"
Gu Yue temporarily put aside the matter of the Golden Dragon King. Looking at Xu Yue, she murmured, "So this was the reason for the Heavenly Change back then. Everything makes sense now."
Tang San, however, was not nearly so good-tempered. He looked at Xu Yue, gritting his teeth as killing intent spilled from him.
"No wonder I couldn't contact Father or Mother. So Douluo Planet gave birth to a Child of the Star from who knows where."
"Even the Plane Master's Permission Authority has been split apart. How utterly outrageous!"
"You injured my father and ruined my plans. Xu Yue, you deserve to die!"
The instant this thought passed through his mind, Tang San's expression abruptly changed.
In midair.
Xu Yue, consumed by rage, directly condensed a Rock Spear in his hand and hurled it at Tang Wulin without a second thought.
At the critical moment, a white figure flashed into view.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings appeared as the Sky Frost Sword pointed directly at the golden Rock Spear.
It was Class Five's homeroom teacher, Wu Zhangkong.
Clang!
A metallic explosion rang out. With a stern expression, Wu Zhangkong slashed out a streak of frost, shattering the incoming Rock Spear.
The conjured rocks struck the Metal Arena, producing a series of clanging crashes.
Though that strike appeared effortless, the shock on his face and the slight tremble in his arm revealed that it had been anything but easy.
He had already held Xu Yue in very high regard, but seeing that Xu Yue was no longer concealing himself at all, he realized he had still gravely underestimated him.
Innate Domain! Spear Intent! And that pure elemental power he had sensed during the collision—it was clearly an Ultimate Attribute!
Any one of those three traits, placed upon a Soul Master, could forge a super powerhouse capable of climbing to the continent's peak.
What kind of genius, then, was Xu Yue, who possessed all three?
Logically, encountering such a genius should have delighted Wu Zhangkong.
But the current situation left him unable to feel happy.
Tang Wulin was not merely his student; he was also a member of the Tang Sect. No matter what, Wu Zhangkong could not stand by and watch.
Wu Zhangkong looked at Xu Yue with an icy expression and said coldly:
"Stop! Can't you see that he has lost the ability to resist?"
"Heh! Did he surrender?" Xu Yue sneered, looking down imperiously at Wu Zhangkong.
"Wasn't he the one who wanted to continue this battle?"
"Now that I am granting his wish and carrying it through in the manner that respects battle the most, you are telling me to stop?!"
Xu Yue looked at Wu Zhangkong's slightly changed expression and continued.
"And Wu Zhangkong! You are neither the referee nor a participant. What right do you have to step onto the arena and tell me to stop?"
"Or do you want to take his place and have a try against me?!"
Before you continue
