In the square in front of the Sky Dragon Palace, a middle-aged man with black hair at the Shining Star Level opened his eyes.
“Such terrifying fist power. This strength is probably two to three times mine. How am I supposed to fight!” The black-haired middle-aged man’s pupils trembled incessantly, still seeming to be in shock from the battle.
Upon entering and encountering the strength-type opponent in the Transcendence Domain, the black-haired middle-aged man was suppressed from start to finish, almost without any chance to fight back.
“This is just too frustrating!” The black-haired middle-aged man’s face was somewhat unpleasant.
No one would feel good being beaten down like that.
At this moment, a faint blue light suddenly appeared in front of the black-haired middle-aged man, pulling him back from the scene of the previous battle.
As the faint blue light slightly swirled, a talisman bearing a gray carp pattern appeared before him.
“What’s this?”
The black-haired middle-aged man instinctively grasped the talisman. After a brief investigation, he roughly understood its function and couldn’t help but smile with a glimmer in his eyes.
“Great stuff!”
After putting away the talisman, the black-haired middle-aged man looked around only to find he was the only one who had awakened, indicating he was the first to be eliminated.
Realizing this, the black-haired middle-aged man lowered his head in thought. Despite his dejection, he also gained some clarity.
In the Transcendence Domain just now, he was constantly overpowered by the opponent, which couldn’t be blamed solely on Qin Xiangyang for setting the difficulty too high.
The main reason was his own weak strength…
“Indeed, although I barely broke through to the Shining Star Level, I haven’t made any progress over the years. It seems I’ve reached my limit.
In that case, I might as well take this opportunity to join the Dragon Sect.
Dragon Sect is currently expanding rapidly and urgently needs manpower. I could blend in and secure one or two positions…”
The black-haired middle-aged man sighed heavily. Although his Second Awakening succeeded in upgrading the green soul card to blue, it was just a 1C-talented Blue Card with limited potential.
Shaking his head, the black-haired middle-aged man decided to join the Dragon Sect and dropped his random thoughts…
After the black-haired middle-aged man, various Star Card Masters gradually opened their eyes, each with a talisman condensing before them.
“The opponents here are really powerful…”
“No kidding, that fourth opponent was practically immortal. His regeneration ability was too insane. If you can’t annihilate most of his body in one strike, you can’t kill him!”
“You made it to the fourth opponent? I couldn’t even touch the shadow of the second one.”
“Sigh, I just happened to be good at counterattacks and suppressed that agility-type opponent. It seems the sequence is the same for everyone. Maybe you were just unlucky.”
“…”
People murmured among themselves, evidently impressed by the opponents in the Transcendence Domain.
As more people regained consciousness, it became apparent that the talismans they received were not identical.
Most talismans had green carp patterns.
A few, like the black-haired middle-aged man’s, had gray carp patterns.
Even fewer had blue carp patterns, with faint glowing accents making them appear more delicate.
“So those who didn’t clear a stage received gray carp talismans. Those who cleared one to three stages received green carp talismans. And those who cleared the first four stages received blue carp talismans!”
The group pieced it together, concluding that the carp talismans they received correlated with their results in the Transcendent Space.
“Did no one clear the fifth stage?”
“Brother, you cleared the fourth stage with a blue carp talisman. Did you see what the fifth stage was?”
“An opponent with star power several times stronger than mine.”
“I see… that’s understandable.”
Through their exchanges, they learned that the first four stages involved opponents with vastly superior strength, agility, defense, and physique, while the fifth stage featured opponents with star power several times their own.
Of the six-dimensional qualifications, star power was the most crucial because it was the primary power of a Star Card Master.
Facing opponents several times stronger in strength or agility was manageable, but those with significantly greater star power were nearly impossible for most to handle.
At the center of the field, Qin Xiangyang observed the talismans each person received and made mental notes.
Many of the experts on this plaza were targets for the Dragon Sect’s recruitment.
However, the conditions offered by the Dragon Sect would naturally vary depending on the individual’s level.
While the results in the Transcendence Domain didn’t represent absolute combat power, they essentially reflected these individuals’ combat prowess within their level.
As time passed, more people awoke.
A blue light condensed before Seth, ultimately forming a blue carp talisman.
“Although I relied on the power of the evolved epic soul card to defeat the previous opponents, the new strength was still too unfamiliar. Handling the fifth-stage opponent with remarkable star power proved challenging…” Seth shook his head with a bitter smile, feeling slightly regretful.
If he were still at the Gold Limit, he would have a good chance of breaking through the fifth stage.
Of course, the regret was minor. Breaking through to the Shining Star Level far outweighed a talisman, so Seth had no regrets.
Not long after, Hou Wu also opened his eyes.
Seeing the rapidly forming blue carp talisman before him, Hou Wu smirked.
