Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Lein and the others spent their time until late afternoon in Guandu Realm. They explored the entire Heavenly News City firsthand, observing the lives of the cultivators.

***

While Lein and the others were relaxing in Guandu Realm, elsewhere, a fierce battle was taking place. A young man in a white robe with black stripes was seen controlling a white star-shaped energy, trying to attack a large wolf standing about a meter tall.

"Hahaha... Too easy," muttered the young man in the white robe as he controlled the brightly shining white stars.

Woo...

The wolf tried to dodge every approaching star, occasionally howling in an attempt to halt their movement. Not far from the wolf stood a figure in a green hooded robe. His hands were glowing blue, seemingly activating a beast summoning hologram.

"Damn... This guy is only a mid-Tier-2, but his power is terrifying," said the man in the green robe.

The young man controlling the stars, who had been smiling, now wore a frown. He stared at the empty space ahead of him with disbelief, frustration, and confusion.

"Damn... This guy again!!!" he exclaimed angrily.

"From 11 million points to 13 million in just a few days."

Yes, this young man was William Anderson, the leader of the American alliance. Since finding out that Lein's contribution points had reached 11 million a few days ago, he no longer considered aiming for the top 1-3 spots. Nonetheless, he continued monitoring the daily leaderboard updates of the event.

"Not only do his alliance members dominate ranks 1-6, but he even gained an additional 1 million points?" William muttered, baffled and questioning himself despite having an S-rank talent.

As William was deep in thought, he sensed someone approaching him. Sure enough, the man in the green robe, who had been summoning the green wolf, leaped and lunged at William with a sharp silver sword aimed forward.

Shah...

William didn't panic; he quickly sidestepped. The stars around him gathered and immediately flew toward the man in the green robe.

Tang...

Teng...

The silver sword and the stars collided. Each time a star was deflected, it would return and continue attacking the man in the green robe.

"Slashing Killer!"

The silver sword emitted a red glow, enveloping the sword in a bright red aura.

Shah...

With just one slash, four of the attacking stars vanished. The man in the green robe then turned his gaze toward William, who was standing a short distance away.

A slight smile appeared on William's face. He had just received news that he didn't want to hear, but fortunately, this man in the green robe was there at the perfect time to vent his frustration.

"Falling Star."

It was a simple murmur, but the previously dark sky above suddenly lit up.

"Damn, where is this terrifying energy coming from?" said a Faithwarden with a white halo behind his back. He was battling a Beast Master with an Elephant Beast, but he momentarily glanced at the sky above.

"Is another Tier-3 Player arriving?" asked a Golden Core stage cultivator currently fighting a Beast Master with a summoned Dragon.

"Look, that thing is about to fall on us... run!"

"This is terrifying, get away from this area!"

The Tier-1 warriors felt a profound fear in their hearts. The sight of the sky made them stop fighting and run away from the battle area between William and the man in the green robe.

Their fear was not without reason, as the sky above William and the man in the green robe now formed a circular area with a 50-meter diameter. Not long after it opened, a massive 10-meter star emerged from within the large circle. And it wasn't just one; many smaller stars followed.

"Damn... What kind of attack is this? How can a Tier-2 possess such power?" said the man in the green robe. He immediately stopped attacking William and tried to escape.

"Where are you going? Let's continue," William said. He didn't allow the man in the green robe to flee or use teleportation skills.

Tang...

William rushed forward, attacking with his one-meter-long white sword. He swung it from the side, attacking every time the man in the green robe tried to move.

Feeling cornered, the man in the green robe raised his hand, and the beast summoning hologram began spinning. The hologram on his wrist stopped at a large ape-like creature, and a white light emerged, forming the figure of a two-meter-tall black-furred ape. The hologram continued spinning, stopping at another beast.

"How many beasts are you planning to summon? It's useless," William said.

"Transform."

Another skill activated. The stars William controlled before now transformed into figures resembling him. The difference was that these transformed stars seemed even stronger than William himself.

One clone charged toward the large ape that had just appeared. Each of the other clones attacked all the beasts summoned by the man in the green robe.

Argh...

Hoarhrr...

The roars of the beasts had no effect on the summoned clones. They attacked ruthlessly with the same white swords that William wielded.

"Damn... This is impossible."

Fear pierced the heart of the man in the green robe. A cold sensation enveloped his body as he looked around, realizing no one was in their vicinity anymore.

The man in the green robe was terrified, but the stars in the sky were now descending, raining down on the area where he stood.

Boom...

"No!!! You will regret this and be hunted by the Sun Conqueror Sect."

Boom...

Boom...

The man's screams could be heard from afar, but no one came to his rescue. The stars' impact was incredibly destructive, creating a deep crater in the ground.

William, who had been near the man in the green robe, was now far from the blast area. Just before the stars exploded, he activated his teleportation skill, observing from a safe distance.

"Impressive, the president grows stronger every day."

An old man with long black hair stood beside William, speaking in an admiring tone. He always felt a shiver whenever William activated his destructive skills.
