Global Mutation: Become Unbeatable by Plundering the Gods

56: One sword can break all lawsThe opponent’s sword strike was incredibly powerful. However, Zhou Xing advanced instead of retreating, frantically compressing his Ice-Fire Power in his palm.

“Ice Fire Dual Stream: Burst!”

“Boom—!”

The two terrifying, extreme forces collided, unleashing a blinding light on the arena stage, and a terrifying shockwave spread out from the two individuals.

Even the protective shield raised around the arena violently shook open.

When the energy dissipated, Ye Wuchen’s white clothes were ripped in several places by the energy aftermath, leaving multiple wounds, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

As for Zhou Xing, apart from the wounds he had just sealed with Frost Power cracking open again, he only felt a slight numbness in his arms.

“Hiss! These two guys are way too strong!”

“Holy crap, this Zhou Xing is actually an Awakened One with Ice and Fire dual-attribute Fusion? He’s hiding his strength well.”

...On the arena stage, many people were shocked by the strength of the two fighters.

Some squad Captains felt that even if they were Control Mid-Stage experts themselves, they wouldn’t be confident in securing a victory against the two people on the stage.

“No wonder Yun Feng personally went to Dragon City. Dual-System Fusion? It was worth the trip.”

Leng Ningshuang, who was on the platform, also realized this after seeing Zhou Xing unleash his dual-System ability.

“Both of these are good prospects. We don’t need to talk about Zhou Xing, but it would be a pity if Ye Wuchen were eliminated,” Elder Tie said to Bei Chen, who was beside him.

“Heh heh, it’s fine. Zhou Xing will definitely win, but given Ye Wuchen’s strength, even if he loses, he’ll still secure one of the remaining three spots. It won’t affect anything.”

Bei Chen said with a smile, clearly unconcerned.

“This time, several promising talents have emerged in Star City: Zhou Xing, Ye Wuchen, and also Wen Jie. They might achieve good rankings in the second round.”

“If they can Breakthrough to Control Mid-Stage, apart from Zhou Xing, the others might have a chance to fight for the remaining two spots.”

In previous selections for the Special Training Camp, Star City’s best result was only 21st place.

With Zhou Xing’s appearance this time, Star City might leap forward.

At the same time, dazzling sword light burst forth from Ye Wuchen’s entire body on the arena stage, making him seem like man and sword were one.

He slowly floated into the air, raising his longsword high—

“Sword God Domain: Activate!”

In an instant, the entire arena transformed into a world of swords, with countless incomparably sharp Sword Qi crisscrossing everywhere.

Zhou Xing’s expression hardened. He immediately set up a dual defense of Ice and Fire around himself, but the opponent’s Sword Qi was too dense and sharp, shattering the barrier in the blink of an eye.

Continuing like this was not an option. At this moment, Zhou Xing slammed both palms towards the ground and let out a low shout:

“Ice Fire Dual Stream: Absolute Defense!”

Instantly, Ice-Fire Power surged out, spinning and intertwining frantically around him, forming a massive energy vortex.

Any incoming Sword Qi was instantly annihilated by the energy vortex as soon as it approached.

Is Dual-System Fusion really this troublesome?

Ye Wuchen’s expression was serious. The energy longsword in his hand suddenly exploded with light, transforming into a streak of flowing light, carrying the will to destroy everything, and stabbing straight into the energy vortex!

“One Sword Breaks All Methods!”

“Boom!”

The two terrifying forces clashed, and the entire arena was instantly submerged by the energy storm.

When the dust and smoke cleared, a massive pit, a hundred meters in diameter, appeared where they stood.

At this moment, Ye Wuchen’s energy longsword was pressed against Zhou Xing’s throat, but it could not advance an inch.

Furthermore, his body was covered in multiple wounds left by Frost and raging flames. His face was pale, and his body trembled continuously.

As for Zhou Xing, his right hand was gripping Ye Wuchen’s sword body tightly, and Ice-Fire Power wrapped around it, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Many sword wounds had been cut into his body by the Sword Qi, but he had temporarily sealed them using Frost Power, so they were not debilitating.

“You lost!” Zhou Xing said calmly.

Ye Wuchen had completely exhausted his strength. Looking at Zhou Xing, who still had reserves, he finally spoke in a low voice, voluntarily dispelling the energy longsword in his hand, and looked at the referee: “I surrender!”

At this point, seven spots had been confirmed.

Monsoon, far away in Dragon City, was overjoyed when he learned that Qin Yue had actually advanced to Control and secured a spot.

This also meant that Dragon City had truly entered Star City’s field of vision. If Zhou Xing were to go all out later and actually secure one of the final three spots... Monsoon grew more excited the more he thought about it!

As for Su Mingyue, it was only a matter of time before she achieved a Breakthrough to Control. Perhaps due to her relationship with Zhou Xing, she was allowed to join Yun Feng’s squad as a reserve member. Once she Broke through, she could officially become a member of Yun Feng’s squad.

Of course, if Su Mingyue wished, she could also return to Dragon City or go to another Intermediate city to serve as a Captain after achieving a Breakthrough to the Control Realm.

On the night the selection competition ended, the Star City Watchers Headquarters held a grand farewell ceremony for the ten people who had advanced.

They would next enter the divinity cultivation chamber to Cultivate for a week, and then take a special plane—which only Major Cities possess—to Dawn City to participate in the final selection for the Special Training Camp.

Zhou Xing did not attend the dinner following the farewell ceremony, returning to his room alone.

However, as soon as he pushed the door open, the System notification came through—

[Ding! A strong burst of unknown divinity fluctuation has been detected.]

[It is recommended to immediately use a divinity crystal for suppression.]

Zhou Xing’s pupils suddenly contracted. He saw his younger sister, Zhou Keer, curled up on the sofa, her body enveloped in a layer of silver-white light.

The divinity erosion had actually erupted again ahead of schedule!

The white patterns on her skin appeared, and the white wing patterns behind her shoulders seemed to come alive, shining brightly.

Even with Zhou Xing’s current strength, he felt immense pressure under this aura.

Fortunately, Zhou Xing returned in time; otherwise, if the delay had been too long, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Zhou Xing immediately took out a divinity crystal, stepped forward quickly, and pressed it against Zhou Keer’s glabella.

The crystal rapidly melted, transforming into a stream of light that seeped into Zhou Keer’s body.

However, that divine aura continued. Gritting his teeth, Zhou Xing simply used two more divinity crystals consecutively.

“Ugh...”

Dazzling azure light burst forth, and Zhou Keer’s body trembled violently.

Zhou Xing held her down tightly and condensed a layer of Ice-Fire barrier to prevent energy leakage.

It took a full ten minutes before Zhou Keer’s body finally stabilized, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The patterns on her body were clearer than before, but they soon slowly faded away.

“System, what exactly is going on? Didn’t you say it would last three months? It’s only been half a month.”

Zhou Xing was furious, his heart filled with lingering fear.

“host, don’t worry. Based on estimations, the time until your sister truly breaks free from the divinity erosion and becomes an Awakened One is not far.”

“The reason for this premature divine outbreak may be due to stimulation from an unknown force, leading to an early eruption.”

“Unknown force?” Zhou Xing frowned.
