Sixty mid-grade Emperor Crystals, ten space cannons.
"War General, this is your reward for arresting the Battle Axe Alliance!"
After the exchange, a staff member from the mission hall handed Ye Xuan a spatial bag, which contained sixty mid-grade Emperor Crystals and ten space cannons.
Casually taking the spatial bag, Ye Xuan’s lips curved. At this rate, he would soon be able to reach the peak of the fifth-order Great Emperor realm.
*Clap, clap, clap!*
Just then, a crisp congratulatory sound came from not far away. Then, a man with a terrifying aura appeared in the mission hall. This person was none other than the Slaughter King, the foremost of the four Great War Kings of Atlantean Planet.
His peak fifth-order Great Emperor aura was released without any concealment, its terrifying pressure engulfing the entire mission hall.
"Heh heh heh, War General Ye, you've only just become a War General and you've already accomplished such a great feat. You truly are the lucky star of Atlantean Planet!"
The Slaughter King glanced at the Battle Axe Alliance and then paid them no further attention. "War General Ye can so easily annihilate the Battle Axe Alliance, which means your strength far surpasses the previous assessment."
"How about a spar with me?"
The Slaughter King’s lips curved, a burning passion in his eyes. "Of course, I won't have you spar with me for nothing. As long as you can last a hundred moves against me!"
As he spoke, the Slaughter King produced over a hundred mid-grade Emperor Crystals.
"If you can last a hundred moves against me without defeat, these one hundred mid-grade Emperor Crystals will be yours. What do you say?"
Hearing this, Tu Meng's lips twitched. A hundred mid-grade Emperor Crystals. It was the same old trick.
Using heavy rewards to lure them, many had been beaten badly by the Slaughter King. However, the Slaughter King's overwhelming combat power and cultivation base made him invincible, and his methods never failed.
The people in the mission hall looked at the mid-grade Emperor Crystals in the Slaughter King's hand and swallowed their saliva.
Damn it, as expected of the Slaughter King, so generous!
"Oh."
Hearing the Slaughter King's words, Ye Xuan's lips curled. "It is Ye Xuan's honor to spar with the Slaughter King."
"Hahaha, good!"
A few minutes later.
In front of the mission hall, in the center of the plaza.
No less than a thousand people had gathered, including the Star Lord Iliff. Clearly, they had heard the news of the spar between the Slaughter King and Ye Xuan.
After all, Ye Xuan had not displayed his full strength when he was being screened as a War General.
Now, having so easily apprehended the Battle Axe Alliance, it was evident that his combat power was not weak even among peak fourth-order Great Emperors.
As for the arena, the Slaughter King and Ye Xuan stood facing each other.
"War General Ye, be careful!"
As the Slaughter King’s voice fell, his aura intensified once more. His original peak fifth-order Great Emperor realm had reached its absolute limit. Seeing this, even Star Lord Iliff was stunned.
"Peak fifth-order Great Emperor extreme... this..."
Tu Meng stared at the scene in a daze, his lips twitching, his eyelids jumping uncontrollably. "My heavens, Ye War General is going to suffer now!"
What a joke!
The Slaughter King's combat power at this moment had definitely surged by another level!
As his voice faded, the Slaughter King, carrying a terrifying aura, pressed down on Ye Xuan. Such an attack would make even ordinary fifth-order Great Emperors tremble in fear. Clearly, the Slaughter King was not holding back much.
"This Slaughter King."
Star Lord Iliff looked at the scene with a bitter smile. With such an attack, none of the previous eight War Generals could have withstood it. And now, merely peak third-order Great Emperor extreme... no... that kid.
Just as Iliff thought Ye Xuan was about to lose, he saw a fourth-order Great Emperor level aura surge around Ye Xuan. With a mighty surge, he met the Slaughter King's punch head-on.
*Boom!*
Terrifying auras collided. Ye Xuan’s right fist, carrying lightning, met the Slaughter King’s punch.
With one strike!
Both staggered back three steps before stabilizing. This scene instantly stunned the entire crowd.
"My God, War General Ye actually... withstood it?"
"Is that real? That attack from Lord Slaughter King might not even be survivable by a fifth-order Great Emperor."
"Does that mean... War General Ye possesses strength comparable to a fifth-order Great Emperor?"
"Cough, cough, fifth-order Great Emperor, that’s already the combat power of a War King. Too terrifying!"
"Lightning cultivator, did you notice? War General Ye is also a lightning cultivator~~"
...
The powerhouses of Atlantean Planet in the arena were all astonished. It was unbelievable, they had never witnessed such a scene. In their understanding, a War General had no chance of winning against a War King.
"This... fourth-order Great Emperor!?"
Tu Meng stared at the scene in disbelief, his eyes filled with incredulity. "Good heavens, when did he break through?"
Thinking about how his son had almost offended such a monstrous existence, Tu Meng felt an urge to smack his son. Damn it, this guy was younger than his son, yet his strength was even higher than his own.
No comparison, no harm. Undeniably, War General Ye was the most talented person he had ever seen!
"Good kid!!"
Seeing this, the Slaughter King's eyes narrowed. "With such strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to rank him as a War King!"
"If that's the case, then I won't hold back!!"
As he spoke, the Slaughter King flipped his right hand, taking out a long saber from his spatial bag. "This saber is called the Hegemon Saber, it is a top-grade Emperor-tier weapon."
Tu Meng, "!!!"
What the heck!
The Slaughter King actually brought out a weapon. Damn it, what a move!
It seemed War General Ye's strength was even greater than he had imagined, otherwise, the Slaughter King wouldn't have taken him so seriously.
Star Lord Iliff's eyes flickered, but he quickly thought of something. He flipped his right hand, and a long spear faintly emitting a lightning aura appeared.
"A precious spear for a hero!"
As Iliff spoke, he shot the spear towards Ye Xuan. "War General Ye, this spear was the weapon of an Atlantean Star Lord fifty thousand years ago. It has no grade, but it possesses the ability to grow stronger when facing a stronger opponent. This spear is named Sky Breaker."
"Today, if you can withstand a hundred moves against the Slaughter King, this spear will be yours from now on."
*Swish!*
Ye Xuan grasped the spear shaft with one hand. A formidable lightning power instantly covered the entire spear. "Good spear!!"
With a spear in hand, Ye Xuan’s aura strengthened significantly. The Slaughter King opposite him’s excitement grew even more intense.
"Sky Breaker Lightning Spear!"
"Star Lord is truly generous. However, War General Ye, lasting a hundred moves against me is not easy."
As his voice fell, the Slaughter King, with the Hegemon Saber, slashed towards Ye Xuan as if tearing through the air. The terrifying force caused the air to split. Ye Xuan's lips curled. The spear in his hand was like a dragon, meeting the Hegemon Saber. He pushed his lightning abilities to the extreme, but at this moment, Ye Xuan was only using the realm of a fourth-order Great Emperor.
*Bang!*
A deafening sound erupted, and the next moment, an invincible surge of energy spread throughout the arena with the two as the center. Weaker powerhouses were forced to retreat repeatedly, and even Tu Meng felt an immense sense of dread.
Star Lord Iliff's eyes gleamed with wisdom. "Good fellow, if he can maintain a good relationship with this guy, Atlantean Star will definitely soar in the future because of him."
