Half a day passed.
Jiang Li returned to the killing hall, and the many martial artists were discussing amongst themselves.
"Who exactly is this 'Jiangnan'? 217 wins and 0 losses?"
"That madman is the real freak. They say he has a Domain, he's definitely invincible at Planet Level!"
"Planet Level with a Domain? Freak!"
"Freak my ass, that Jiangnan is the freak. The three of us brothers were all cleaved by his sword!"
"Cleaving people? Yeah, that's pretty freaky!"
The Killing Grounds had private "meditation rooms" that offered a high degree of seclusion, in addition to the more affordable public halls.
Those who could rent a "meditation room" were typically individuals of considerable status.
Inside one of these "meditation rooms."
A man with purple hair watched the screen in front of him. Several images were displayed simultaneously, including the video of Jiang Li's duel with Luo Feng.
Unlike the Killing Space, the arena where the duel took place allowed spectators and, naturally, recorded the event on video.
"This Jiangnan's sword is terrifying. There must be an invincible being backing him!"
The purple-haired man shook his head slightly after reviewing the video of Jiang Li.
A martial artist's power was generally evident from their method of attack. Jiang Li had consistently used brute force throughout the fight. Even without revealing other techniques, the purple-haired man could guess that Jiang Li was supported by a formidable faction.
"Planet Level warriors possess a Domain and wield a Third-Order Mental Power Weapon. Looks like his consciousness amplitude is exceeding expectations!"
The purple-haired man's eyes gleamed: "He's a promising talent!"
Knock, knock, knock!
"Come in!"
As the purple-haired man spoke, the door to the 'Quiet Room' was gently pushed open. A white-robed female warrior entered and respectfully saluted: "Greetings, Lord Purple."
"Bai Kui? You accepted the points mission?"
The man addressed as Lord Purple seemed somewhat surprised: "That's fine. You're a Special Elite of the company, so you can test the strength of those two newly advanced warriors..."
"Go challenge the madman first. I'll arrange to suppress your strength to Planet Level Stage 6!"
"Yes!"
The Virtual Universe Company was the only entity in the vast universe capable of manipulating the virtual universe network to suppress one's strength.
In the battle space, it was empty.
Luo Feng accepted a challenge from a 'Six-Star' warrior and was killed after twenty rounds.
"I lost?!"
"I lost so completely?!"
Luo Feng was incredulous, a hint of sorrow in his eyes, as he exited the battle space.
His record now stood at 532 wins and 1 loss.
"Look, the Madman lost!"
"Good heavens, which strong person defeated the Madman, who was invincible at the Planet Level?"
"Kuihua? Never heard of him!"
"I didn't expect it to be an unknown guy who broke the Madman's undefeated record!"
The discussions erupted and reached Luo Feng's ears, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
What a terrifying record was 532 consecutive wins?
Similarly, each victory would also cause a slight change in Luo Feng's mentality. Even he himself had once thought he was invincible at the Planet Level.
"I, am actually so weak?!"
"She's just a warrior!"
Luo Feng gritted his teeth in agony.
"Lost?"
Jiang Li, who had just returned to the Killing Hall, walked over to Luo Feng. Seeing his unwilling and dejected expression, he guessed what had happened.
"Lost."
Luo Feng raised his eyes, his eyes bloodshot. He said bitterly, "That female warrior named Kuihua is too strong. I'm no match for her at all. Whether it's movement, speed, or combat experience, she completely crushed me!"
"But she's only Planet Level Stage 6, too! I even used my Domain, but the Duntian Shuttle was still a joke in front of her!"
"So?"
Jiang Li looked at Luo Feng with a blank expression. "You're already so discouraged after one failure?"
"Jiang-ge, I..."
Luo Feng's voice trailed off.
"Losing is a good thing. What peerless expert hasn't risen from repeated failures!"
Jiang Li patted Luo Feng on the shoulder. "Even I have been defeated a few hundred times..."
"What?!"
Luo Feng was astonished.
"Surprised?"
"Only by correcting your mindset can you understand your true nature!"
Jiang Li smiled, what he said was all true.
First, his encounters with Duo Yi all involved growing stronger from repeated failures until he finally defeated her.
The Killing Space was also defeated time and time again by a more powerful 'himself.'
"Jiang Li, there's a new challenge request, also from someone named Kuihua."
Babata perched on Jiang Li's shoulder, glanced at Luo Feng and said, "Same name, but different level."
"Someone from the Virtual Universe Company?"
Jiang Li immediately thought.
Babata's private virtual space could adjust Duo Yi's realm. Surely, the behemoth Virtual Universe Company, which spanned the entire universe, could do the same?
"Accept!"
Jiang Li was now intrigued. The opponent who could crush Luo Feng was definitely not a Planet Level warrior.
"Luo Feng, you didn't lose unfairly!"
Jiang Li suddenly stood up, smiling. "Kuihua has challenged me."
"What?"
Luo Feng was stunned, then immediately understood.
The other party wasn't a Planet Level Stage 6 warrior; they had intentionally suppressed their level.
"Jiang-ge, can I watch?"
Luo Feng asked, since he was still spending Jiang Li's money. Seeing Jiang Li nod, Luo Feng also entered the battle space.
In the battle space, if you spent money, others could watch.
However, the more people watching, the higher the fee.
For battles between Domain Lords and World Lords, the viewing fees were terrifyingly high.
Although 'Jiangnan' had become famous, he was still only Star Level. The viewing fees weren't too high.
"Someone's challenging Jiangnan!"
"Kuihua, again? That Kuihua?"
"Could it be someone from the Virtual Universe Company?"
Some who knew what was going on immediately guessed that those challenged by the Virtual Universe Company were usually the ones with great potential.
"Damn it, I wanted to wait a bit longer. Now that the Virtual Universe Company has taken notice, Hundred Tiger Pavilion has no chance!"
"Don't even mention your Hundred Tiger Pavilion. Even the other four major powers would struggle to compete for a genius chosen by the Virtual Universe Company."
Several faction elders chatted amongst themselves as they entered the arena to watch the battle.
On the vast grassland, within the metal arena.
A female warrior, clad in a white robe, stood holding two daggers. She had a blank expression, her eyes were cold as she gazed at Jiang Li who had just appeared. Her expression shifted slightly when her gaze fell on the Falling Star Disk.
With Jiang Li's track record, Bai Kui wouldn't think he chose the Falling Star Disk just to look cool.
"Jiangnan, you... are very strong!"
Bai Kui's voice was light and ethereal, like a warbling oriole, as she declared solemnly, "To show my respect for a strong person like you, I will defeat you with my full strength!"
As her words fell, her white battle robe stirred, releasing a flow of ochre-colored air. This air gently rippled, and the surrounding space seemed to solidify.
The moment the air appeared, a suffocating pressure washed over Jiang Li, causing his eyes to narrow.
His mental power immediately surged!
"This is... her Domain?"
Luo Feng, who was watching the battle, immediately changed his expression. Bai Kui had not used her Domain when she fought him.
And Luo Feng wasn't the only one whose expression shifted dramatically.
"This, this is…"
"The Earth Law?"
"Freak!"
"And a Ninefold Domain!"
"A Star Level warrior with a Ninefold Domain, and they've also crossed the threshold of the Laws. This Bai Kui is definitely a Special Elite!"
"The Virtual Universe Company really thinks highly of 'Jiangnan'!"
The faces of the attending officials from various factions were filled with shock.
Jiang Li stood still, holding his spear and watching the Domain Bai Kui had released.
In the decisive battle space, this was the first time he'd encountered an opponent who comprehended a law, and it happened to be the Earth Law.
