High-Level Martial Era

"Boom!" Quiliya, wielding a great axe, moved swiftly, his whole body emitting waves of blue light as he transformed into a streak of light and shot out.

He charged at the black figure.

With each step, tens of thousands of pounds of force burst forth, causing the ground to tremble faintly.

"Boom! Boom!" The two figures had already engaged in battle, fighting fiercely.

...

"So weak, much weaker than I had anticipated."

Bores voiced his confusion, "This Quiliya, his Physical Quality should only be around the 23rd level, right? How can he fight evenly matched?"

"Bores, you don't understand." Dantai Feng glanced at him, "In The Battle of Seven Stars, the difficulty of the first three rounds isn't fixed; it's determined according to the contenders' Physical Quality. Those with higher Physical Quality face stronger Gatekeepers, and the converse for those with lower... It's also to give the newcomers some confidence."

"Therefore, most newcomers, at the very least, can pass the first round. It's the third round that's much harder."

"From the fourth round onwards, the Gatekeepers' strength becomes completely fixed... only absolute power can break through... From the fourth to the seventh round, the strength of the Gatekeepers consistently soars," Dantai Feng stated seriously.

Bores instantly fell silent.

Alicia shook her head slightly, a mysterious smile appearing on her face.

"Quiliya is going to win," Li Yuan suddenly spoke out, and everyone watched intently.

Boom!

Quiliya suddenly struck with his axe, and the black figure, caught off guard, was violently knocked back and sent flying.

"Quiliya, win!" a deep voice echoed over the battlefield.

"Won," Quiliya said excitedly, swinging his arm forcefully.

Quickly,

the second round erupted, and this time the opponent was not humanoid, but a huge lizard-like "black earth dragon."

It, too, was not a living thing, but its power was much stronger than the black Combat Armor figure of the first round.

The first battle, Quiliya had won, but with great difficulty.

In the second round, he lost decisively.

...

Time passed.

One by one, the newcomers entered the battle, with most only winning the first round before losing the second.

Even Jin Huguo and Nevsky fell in the second round.

Only about one-third could win the second round, such as Yin Man and Kross.

However,

what truly surprised everyone was Alicia. She was the twenty-ninth contender, and initially, the people of Blue Star didn't rate her highly.

After all, she hadn't made it into the top three of Blue Star's virtual battle a few months before, and in terms of age, she was about the same as Yin Man and Nevsky.

With Nevsky losing the second round, how could she fare any better?

Yet in reality, Alicia won! And she won the second round relatively easily!

In the end, she lost to the third round's Gatekeeper.

"Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?"

"Alicia's Swordsmanship is definitely of the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank level."

"She has improved so quickly." Jin Huguo, Yin Man, and Nevsky were all shocked.

They felt the terror of Alicia's Swordsmanship.

In the virtual battles, Alicia had barely made it into the top five and eventually ranked fifth.

But now, if there was another round, with the level of Swordsmanship Alicia has now shown, probably even Harmon and Nevsky couldn't beat her, and she would definitely be able to challenge the top three.

"Captain, how did I do? I didn't embarrass you, did I?" Alicia said with a smile as she returned to the Spectator Space.

"Impressive," Li Yuan responded with a smile, having already noticed her extraordinary talent.

...

"This young lady, not bad."

"Only 21 years old, I've looked at her profile, she's improved rapidly in the last year," many Demigods and Star Masters discussed in the Spectator Space.

With their strength, they could easily remember the profiles of hundreds of Martial Divine Hall newcomers.

From the perspective of a Demigod, when they evaluate someone, it's never just about current strength, but an overall assessment.

"This Alicia, not bad," San Ye Semi Divine suddenly said, "Her Swordsmanship has likely stepped onto the path of 'Ice True Intent,' which fits well with my method."

"Oh? Interested in her, are you?" Fang Hai teased with a chuckle.

"Let's observe a bit longer," replied San Ye Semi Divine in a gentle voice.

But Fang Hai clearly understood the disposition of San Ye Semi Divine; saying so meant that he liked her very much.

Without hesitation, Fang Hai immediately sent a message to Duanmu Hong, "Duanmu, San Ye Semi Divine is thinking of taking Alicia as a disciple. After The Battle of Seven Stars is over, you should talk to Alicia."
