"Star Radiance Seventh-Order! Xu Jingming actually appeared on the list of competitors for the Star Radiance Seventh-Order?"
"Gasp, wasn't he only Fourth-Order Star Radiance five months ago? How did he break through to Star Radiance Seventh-Order so quickly?"
"That rate of advancement is terrifying."
"..."
The changes to the Sacred Land Exchange Competition roster caused an enormous uproar throughout Noah Holy Land.
Countless people marveled at Xu Jingming's terrifyingly rapid breakthroughs.
But quite a few also voiced their doubts.
"Breaking through three levels in five months—could Xu Jingming have used pills?"
"Even if he didn't use pills, what's the point of a high level if his phenomenon and domain haven't kept up?"
"Exactly! Our Noah Empire has performed poorly in the exchange competition over the past decade, ranking in the lower-middle tier. Are we going to hand another victory to the other empires this time?"
"That's not right, is it? This roster was personally confirmed by Lady Niki. There shouldn't be any problems."
"..."
After defeating Basil and obtaining the Lightning Law Seed,
Xu Jingming had already become an exceptionally high-profile figure within Noah Holy Land.
Where there were doubts, there was support. Both sides argued fiercely on the Sacred Land forums.
Of course, only a small minority actually traded insults.
Most people chose to wait and see.
Whether Xu Jingming was suited for this position would become clear once the exchange competition began.
Xu Jingming himself had no idea what was happening in the Virtual Universe.
He plunged into the Black Stone Star Wilderness Area with Ye Lan and Lu Yunji.
With Ye Lan, a Star Tier Second-Order powerhouse, watching over them, he became much less restrained in his actions.
He no longer needed to deliberately suppress his flight speed, greatly improving his efficiency in killing demonic beasts.
