On the World King Star, there were countless competitions, large and small, and even large-scale competitions spanning the entire starry sky were not uncommon.

The Myriad Races Ranking Battle was one of them.

It was a peak showdown organized by the Starry Sky Myriad Races Committee, constantly taking place in various Tier 1 domains, with races as the units.

The minimum entry requirement was Quasi-God level, or Totem level, with no upper limit on the entry level.

In the Azure Billow Domain, the venue for the Myriad Races Ranking Battle was in the Myriad Aspects District of Azure Billow City. After enduring countless hardships to get here, Shi Yi and Chong Chong looked around like country bumpkins entering the city.

"Ying ying ying."

"Ji ji."

Shi Yi and Chong Chong noticed that this area was filled with starry sky life, with many not accompanied by humans.

It seemed they weren't such a strange combination after all?

A Starry Sky Treant would pass by, then a Kobold with a gun stuck in its pouch, making Shi Yi and Chong Chong very curious.

No wonder this was the place for the Myriad Races Ranking Battle.

They exchanged glances and began to head towards the registration location.

…………

"May I help you with anything?" Fang Qin asked, looking at the short black and white bear race in front of her and the azure cotton worm hanging on its shoulder.

She was a graduate of Azure Billow Academy, currently interning at the Myriad Races Committee… Her job was to assist races newly registered for the Myriad Races Ranking Battle with the registration process.

Although Shi Yi, just over a meter tall, and the even smaller Chong Chong looked quite peculiar, her excellent professionalism still made her speak respectfully.

Although they looked strange, many big shots had such quirks. There were also many old monsters who had lived for thousands of years, disguised as cute creatures.

It was also common for giant races to shrink themselves to conserve energy.

Therefore, she wasn't too surprised by Shi Yi and Chong Chong's cub-like appearance.

"Awu! (I want to register for the Myriad Races Ranking Battle!)" Shi Yi said.

"Okay, has your race already been registered?" Fang Qin asked.

"Awu. (Don't know.)"

"Uh, what is your race name?"

"Ying. (Iron-Eating Beast Race - Chaos Panda Evolutionary Branch.)" Shi Yi said.

Fang Qin nodded, and the smart computer in front of her immediately said, "Search completed, no information found."

"I'm sorry, neither the Chaos Panda nor the Iron-Eating Beast has registration information. If you want to participate, you may need to register a new one," Fang Qin said.

Shi Yi scratched its head, fortunately, it had anticipated this, and said, "Ying. (Then register a new one.)"

On its shoulder, Chong Chong nodded calmly. Since there were too many life races, the Myriad Races Ranking Battle allowed participation representing either the originating race or the evolutionary branch race.

For Shi Yi, the Iron-Eating Beast was its originating race, its root race. For its current individual, the Chaos Panda was its evolutionary branch race, its current race.

According to their investigation, to achieve good results in the Myriad Races Ranking Battle, it was generally better to register with the originating race and participate on behalf of the originating race. After all, generally speaking, there were more members of the originating race, and participating together made it easier to achieve good results.

If Shi Yi participated as a Chaos Panda, then it would definitely be a one-man army.

Before long, Shi Yi completed the information registration.

[Name]: Shi Yi

[Growth Level]: Quasi-God Level

[Domain Affiliation]: Suspended Domain

[Race Name]: Iron-Eating Beast

"Since the Iron-Eating Beast Race is a newly registered participating race, if any other Iron-Eating Beasts register in the future, they will need to come with you for bloodline origin testing," Fang Qin said.

"The first 3 matches are placement matches, determining the initial race ranking. Also, if your registered race has no record of participating in the Myriad Races Ranking Battle for a certain period, the race ranking will decline or even be removed."

"Ying ying ying! (No problem.)" Shi Yi nodded.

"Next, we need to check your age. Age is also an important reference standard for calculating the ranking after each match. Of course, you can also choose not to check, in which case the system will calculate it at the lowest weight," the staff member Fang Qin said.

"Awu. (Calculate.)" Shi Yi didn't refuse anyone. If it wanted to get a high ranking, it naturally had to do things in the easiest way.

It seemed that the smaller the age, the higher the combat power, which meant the stronger the race. Although Shi Yi felt that it was no longer a child, compared to seniors like the Dragon God, Gem Cat, and Owl, it should still be considered young!

"Okay, this is a life test paper. You just need to input a trace of energy," Fang Qin took out a piece of white test paper and handed it to Shi Yi.

Sitting in the chair, Shi Yi took the test paper from the counter and input energy. It was the first time it had seen such high-tech stuff. Could this really measure age?

Shi Yi directly input energy as required. The next moment, four red bars appeared on the white test paper. Seeing this, Shi Yi raised its head blankly and handed the test paper to the staff member.

At this time, the staff member named Fang Qin looked at the test paper in astonishment and looked at Shi Yi.

One red bar represented one year old.

So… four years old?

She was dumbfounded.

Even in some low-level planets, ordinary bear races that weren't transcendent races wouldn't be considered adults at four years old.

The Iron-Eating Beast in front of her was likely a God-level race. In the long lives of gods, four years old was truly a cub among cubs.

Was it really a child???

It wasn't even a fraction of her age??? She was 25 years old!

"Four… four years old…" Fang Qin stammered.

"Ying… (So it's not even 5 years old yet.)" Shi Yi fell into contemplation, but felt that it should be soon.

"Ji!! (Can you test me too.)" Chong Chong looked curiously at the test paper. It was now… was it four years old or three years old? It had forgotten whether its birthday had passed!

"Sure, you can. The test paper can be reused." The staff member gave the life test paper to Chong Chong again. The next moment, Fang Qin was dumbfounded again after Chong Chong finished the test.

She saw that one of the four red bars was directly missing…

Three, three years old…

She looked at Shi Yi and Chong Chong in disbelief. So whose "children" were these two? Wait, was the test paper broken?

…………

The Myriad Races Ranking Battle below the God level was conducted offline, meaning it took place in the various domains of the World King Star, in the real world.

As for the battles above the God level, they would be conducted in online space. One could enter the 【Second World】 from the entrances of the various Tier 1 domains. 【Second World】 was a world specially opened up by the World King in the World King Star for battles.

It could be seen as a super arena. Whether it was the Myriad Races Ranking Battle or the Conferred God Battle, they would all take place in the 【Second World】.

The reason why Shi Yu said that waiting for the Conferred God Battle in the Azure Billow Domain was more convenient was because the Suspended Domain didn't have an entrance to the Second World. Only Tier 1 domains had them.

Currently, after completing the registration, Shi Yi began to take the battle voucher and run with Chong Chong to find the opponent it was matched with.

In the Myriad Aspects District, space was heavily layered. There were many teleportation arrays and many pocket dimensions. Shi Yi was dizzy, making Chong Chong very proud. Fortunately, it had come with Shi Yi, otherwise the leader would definitely get lost!!

"Ji…!!" Under Chong Chong's guidance, Shi Yi finally found the so-called Arena No. 4399.

At this time, a pair of partners had been waiting for a long time in the arena. It was a human youth and a giant dragon with jaws full of teeth, raised horns, and a body covered in green with some plants growing on it.

"Roar!! (Looks like the opponent has arrived.)" The green dragon said, seeing Shi Yi and Chong Chong entering the arena from the entrance.

"Yeah." The youth wearing a dark green windbreaker also looked over, frowning. Seeing that it wasn't a combination of humans and starry sky life, but a strange bear and worm, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Just as Shi Yi and Chong Chong were looking at the youth and green dragon on the opposite side, a robot suddenly flew out from the side of this open-air arena: "Detected that both sides of the battle have arrived. Please proceed to the arena. I will be the referee."

"This match is a placement match. The opponents are: newcomer, Iron-Eating Beast Race representative - Shi Yi, Starry Sky Myriad Races ranking No. 9212, Azure Billow Green Dragon Race representative - Gorka."

"Why is it a placement match?" Hearing the battle information reported by the Myriad Races Committee's referee robot, the contractor of the Azure Billow Green Dragon, that youth, was speechless.

"Roar." The green dragon also shook its head boringly.

Even if they won the placement match, they would only gain a few points, and the opponents were generally weak, so it wouldn't have any training effect.

"Gorka, let's finish this quickly and then open a room," the youth said to his contracted green dragon.

"Roar. (Understood.)" The green dragon spread its leaf-like wings and flew towards the arena, its emerald green eyes looking at Shi Yi and Chong Chong.

"Ji!!" At the same time, Chong Chong at the entrance congratulated Shi Yi.

Good luck, the opponent in the placement match was matched with a race ranked in the top 10,000 of the Starry Sky Myriad Races. If they won, their initial ranking would definitely not be low!

The Azure Billow Green Dragon Race's Gorka in front of them was definitely not the strongest in the Azure Billow Green Dragon Race. It should be a junior of the Azure Billow Green Dragon Race. Generally, the strongest in such a race ranked in the top 10,000 of the Myriad Races were basically top-tier Gods, and there were Gods everywhere in the race, otherwise it would be impossible to reach this ranking.

"Ying ying ying! (Yay.)" At this time, Shi Yi also walked happily to the arena, while Chong Chong climbed to the side of the green dragon's contractor, asking "Ji ji..."

"Ji!! (Hello, are you the beast tamer of this big guy?)" Chong Chong asked.

"What are you doing?" The youth looked at the worm in front of him with black lines all over his face.

Chong Chong said in Universal Galactic Language: "I am the guardian worm of that Iron-Eating Beast. I am very happy to battle you."

"You won't be happy in a moment."

At this moment, the contractor of the Azure Billow Green Dragon confirmed again that the opponent was a newbie. Generally, more powerful god races would ally with suitable human families, allowing them to sign equal contracts with the cubs of the race and grow together.

This black and white bear called the Iron-Eating Beast was not only a new race in the Myriad Races Ranking Battle, but also didn't have a human partner accompanying it. Instead, it was being guarded by a green worm. What a mess.

"Consider yourselves unlucky." The youth folded his arms and looked at the arena.

In the Myriad Races Ranking Battle, unlike the Conferred God Battle, humans weren't allowed to interfere in their contracted pets' battles. If humans wanted to participate, they had to register themselves, represent the human race, and couldn't use the power of pets. They could only fight themselves.

Therefore, basically no human was bored enough to participate in this thing. The human race didn't need to use this competition to prove its status.

So right now, the contractor of the Azure Billow Green Dragon was just a spectator, like Chong Chong.

"Ji. (Big talk.)" Chong Chong sneered.

"Battle, start!!!"

At the same time, as the Azure Billow Green Dragon entered the central arena, the Myriad Races Committee robot serving as the referee directly issued the battle command.

"Roar!!!" The Azure Billow Green Dragon looked mockingly at the Iron-Eating Beast not far away and didn't say much. According to the beast tamer's instructions, it planned to end the battle quickly.

Rumble!!!

It stood in place without moving, and the ground directly cracked and rumbled, quickly growing many trees. The trees were like being uprooted, forming a forest in an instant, sealing the arena. Countless tree trunks rose into the sky, forming a tree cage to strangle Shi Yi.

"Awu!!" Shi Yi stood in place and shook its arms, activating Shocking Void. Strong spatial fluctuations instantly intertwined with these giant trees. However, Shocking Void, which was enough to shatter a relic in Blue Planet, to shatter space, could only blow away the thinner branches and leaves like wind at this moment, and could not pose any threat to the main trunk. It couldn't even uproot them.

Moreover, even the broken branches instantly filled with green light, quickly healing and transforming into an immortal and indestructible sea of trees, swallowing Shi Yi.

"Ji!! (Wood Rule, Wood Control?!)" Seeing the perfect nature of these giant trees and the faint rule ripples emanating from them, Chong Chong said.

"The Azure Billow Green Dragon Race inherits two major advanced God skills and several ordinary God skills. It is a top-tier God race, which is why I said it was very unlucky for you to meet us in the placement match," the youth said with a smile. "You don't even know the Azure Billow Green Dragon, you're really newborn calves."

"Ji. (Don't worry, don't worry.)" Chong Chong curled its lips. The battle hadn't ended yet. Shi Yi was just using the mastery-level Shocking Void to test the waters. What was there to be proud of?

Sure enough, seeing that a single Shocking Void couldn't cause any damage to the opponent's moves, Shi Yi revealed an excited expression and its fighting spirit rose.

"Roar!!" It roared loudly, standing still. A scorching aura bloomed from its body, and the fiery heat transformed into tangible fluctuations. This time, Shi Yi activated the Molten Gold skill, turning itself into a solar furnace, exuding overwhelming heat.

This move was indeed more effective against these crazy plants than Shocking Void. Feeling the high temperature, the plants' attacks slowed down instantly. With the Golden Battle Body as the foundation, the current temperature of Molten Gold was no less than that of a nascent God skill, instantly causing many approaching plants to wither. But the next second, the withered plants immediately filled with strong vitality and instantly recovered.

Boom!!!

The endless sea of trees directly plunged towards Shi Yi, directly trapping and killing it inside. The firelight disappeared instantly, replaced by the sound of bombardment that resounded throughout the arena.

"Useless," the youth couldn't help but say at the sight of this. "How can ordinary high temperatures stop the Wood Rule combined with the Life Rule?"

However, before he finished speaking, the next second, a sudden change occurred. The firelight disappeared, but the inside of the dark sea of trees instantly appeared with a sky full of white light!!!

"What?" He was quite surprised.

Rumble!!!

"Roar!!" Accompanied by the Azure Billow Green Dragon's surprised roar, a sky full of white light bullets pierced through the sea of trees at an astonishing speed. The speed of attack was so fast that the plants' recovery speed couldn't react at all. Before they could recover, another light bullet pierced through them. A sky full of light bullets bloomed in all directions. The main target of attack was still the Azure Billow Green Dragon.

The Azure Billow Green Dragon's expression changed, and a layer of Divine Wood Armor immediately appeared on its body. As the "Shua shua shua" light bullets landed on its body, an extremely dense smoke rose up.

"Awu!!!" Above the dilapidated sea of trees, Shi Yi was shining with light, its eyes full of light. Super-order skills were indeed not as useful as quasi-God skills.

It was the Light Control it had just learned!

"Useless." Although there was an accident, the youth remained calm. As expected, as the smoke dissipated, the green dragon wearing the Divine Wood Armor was unharmed, looking at Shi Yi across from it with emerald green eyes.

Shi Yi's Light Control was only at the entry level. Although the effect was good, it simply couldn't play a decisive role.

"Even if you fire a million more of these attacks, you won't be able to break its defense," the youth said.

"Ying ying ying!!!" At this time, Shi Yi also realized that although Light Control could crush the opponent with speed, its attack power seemed insufficient to crush the opponent who possessed the Life Rule due to its low proficiency.

Not only that, but even if it directly used the Yin-Yang Grindstone… it probably wouldn't be enough to kill it in one hit.

Shi Yi frowned.

In that case…

"Roar!!!" After thinking clearly, Shi Yi directly erupted with sharpness in place. The massive energy that was released from its body, the soaring flames began to shake the dilapidated arena. In an instant, the energy in its body had more than doubled.

In the dazzling white flames, white-gold arcs of electricity flickered from time to time. Since direct attacks couldn't break its defense, Shi Yi entered burst mode.

Seeing this, the contractor of the Azure Billow Green Dragon laughed and said, "Putting all your eggs in one basket, huh?"

In his opinion, Shi Yi had entered an overloaded burst mode, already gambling its victory or defeat on the upcoming offensive.

As long as the Azure Billow Green Dragon endured it, the opponent would collapse on its own.

Boom!!!

At this time, Shi Yi, who had entered the Sharpness Mode and the Thunder God Armor state, had indeed reached the peak burst mode. Under the photoelectric reaction of Light Control, its speed and attack reached an even higher peak. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the green dragon with a startled expression.

"Ying!!" In the green dragon's eyes, it only felt a flash of light pass by. With a bang, it was shattered by a punch as fast as light, breaking the wood armor and sending it flying.

However, the attack power was still not large enough!

Although it instantly broke through the green dragon's defense, causing injuries, under its huge vitality, the wounds Shi Yi had inflicted on the green dragon were visibly recovering, no, or rather, they instantly recovered!!!

"Roar!!! (Come on!!)" The green dragon, which stopped abruptly, roared loudly and challenged Shi Yi, its fighting spirit rising.

The next second, the attacks it couldn't see arrived instantly, hitting its head. A third of its head disappeared in an instant, but it still recovered instantly.

Rumble.

In the infinite light-speed impact, the green dragon directly became a sandbag, an infinitely regenerating sandbag, being beaten by Shi Yi.

About a minute later, the green dragon was still unharmed, but Shi Yi's offensive was still fierce.

This made the youth frown and say, "How is this possible?"

The black and white bear had actually persisted for so long in such an overloaded burst??

What he didn't know was that although it was an overloaded burst, Shi Yi's physique, comparable to a god, was too strong, and its limit was unfathomable. Moreover, the healing effect of the Indestructible Golden Body also made a significant contribution to Shi Yi's burst endurance.

"Roar!!"

Before long, the green dragon, enraged by the beating, finally found an opportunity and used Wood Control to transform itself into a poisonous body.

Not only did it transform into a poisonous body itself, but a sky full of poisonous gas also bloomed from its body.

Boom!!!

When Shi Yi attacked, it accidentally came into contact with the poison.

Under the double negative states of overloaded burst and poisoning, the youth put down his arms. He didn't believe that this black and white bear still had the power to turn the tide.

"Roar!!!" Three minutes later, accompanied by the green dragon's roar, it finally found an attack gap in the exhausted Shi Yi. Its dragon tail directly sent Shi Yi, who was ending its burst period, flying.

Bang!!!

Shi Yi was slapped onto the ground. The green dragon was covered in sweat, breathing heavily, and looked back in fear.

This time, although he felt that victory was within his grasp, the youth didn't dare to BB too early.

"Ji! (Here it comes.)" Chong Chong said.

Sure enough, as Chong Chong spoke, the youth's expression changed.

He saw that in the arena, Shi Yi, who should have ended its burst and entered a weak state, was emitting a soaring fighting spirit, as if the fire of will was ignited. An unstoppable fluctuation erupted from its body.

"Roar!!!" Shi Yi stood up again amidst roars. With Sharpness and Intrinsic Sharpness activated, this was a secondary burst skill that could only be activated when entering a near-death state. In the youth and green dragon's extremely unbelievable expressions, Shi Yi entered burst mode again, its body filled with black and white lightning, and like a zombie, it condensed a Yin-Yang Grindstone in its hand!!!

Boom!!!

Under the terrifying Yin-Yang lightning annihilation, the toxins on Shi Yi's body were directly purified. At the same time, after completing the secondary enhancement through Sharpness and Intrinsic Sharpness, Shi Yi, who had entered an even higher peak state, instantly overwhelmed the green dragon by a level.

"Roar!!!" Seeing Shi Yi, who should have been near death, directly annihilate the poison and stand up again, the green dragon roared in disbelief. At the same time, it felt a strong threat from Shi Yi at this moment.

"What a joke, this is… a nascent form of a top-tier God skill?" The youth's pupils also shrank. In an instant, he saw a flash of light pushing that suddenly appearing Yin-Yang Grindstone onto the green dragon's belly.

Rumble!!!

The strong annihilation power directly annihilated the healing effect of the Life Rule. With unparalleled impact, it sent the green dragon flying amidst roars, annihilating its fighting spirit and consciousness at the same time. In just an instant, the green dragon's eyes turned white, and it fell unconscious, being blasted hundreds of meters away, leaving a deep abyss, stirring up countless smoke and dust.

"Ying ying ying!!!" At the same time, Shi Yi, who had burst for the second time, fell to the ground again like a kite with a broken string.

The youth looked at the green dragon and the Iron-Eating Beast, who had fainted at the same time, and fell into contemplation, with an unbelievable expression.

However, what made him feel even more ridiculous the next moment was that after a moment, that Iron-Eating Beast was filled with an astonishing fighting spirit again. Dragging its weak body, it burst out with Sharpness and looked around left and right to find the enemy. After seeing that the green dragon had completely fallen, it couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, greeted Chong Chong, and prepared to leave.

"Ji!! (As expected, Shi Yi is still too weak now. It's so difficult to fight a plant dragon. It still needs to be strengthened.)" Chong Chong muttered as it crawled away from the youth.

Hearing this, the youth's eyes widened.

Say that again?

At the same time, the robot serving as the referee finally announced the victory or defeat.

At this time, Shi Yi and Chong Chong had already slipped away, leaving only the youth, who looked at the green dragon in a daze.

He suddenly looked in the direction where Shi Yi and Chong Chong had left. What a joke… who exactly are these two guys?

He and Gorka were geniuses ranked in the top 500 of the Conferred God Battle!!!

Iron-Eating Beast??? What kind of race is this? How could it possibly defeat the Azure Billow Green Dragon in the Starry Sky Myriad Races!!

"No, I have to find out."

…………

On the other side, in the Secret Realm Villa, Shi Yu yawned, sensing that Shi Yi and the others had finished their match. He was about to call them back for dinner when Ginseng Baby's main body suddenly shouted loudly.

"Yi!!! (Shi Yu Shi Yu, the AFK Fruit has been successfully developed. Come and try it!!!)"

"Hmm?" Shi Yu forgot about Shi Yi and Chong Chong in an instant and ran to Ginseng Baby, looking at the golden fruit in Ginseng Baby's hand.

"Wow." Shi Yu was attracted by the fruit in an instant, his eyes shining, and said, "Can I eat it now?"

"Yi!!" Ginseng Baby nodded. It could be eaten, but the taste and nature of this fruit were a bit difficult to change.

"What do you mean?"

"Yi! (It's just that it may not be so delicious to eat, very unpalatable. The taste is like…)"

"It's okay, I can still bear this bit of bitterness." Shi Yu directly took the fruit and took a bite. The next moment, his face turned green, green with a hint of purple. After a dizziness in his brain, he passed out from the stench and entered AFK cultivation mode.

Seeing this, Ginseng Baby looked worried. What to do? If it wasn't improved, it wouldn't be easy to sell.
