Chapter 4
What was originally a battle where one could "pick and choose" has turned into such a situation?
Alamos remained silent, unsure of what to do next.
The others were equally quiet.
Only Jannadrah looked at Ye Zhongming with excitement, fully eager for a challenge.
This saint wholeheartedly wanted to challenge Ye Zhongming.
“Fais, perhaps we should leave,” Alamos's partner, Pamek, suggested.
Before coming, Pamek never thought there could be so many powerful individuals in the National Zone, but now he realized that both Ye Zhongming, who almost killed him, and a warrior named Xia Bai were capable enough to defeat him.
Wen Yan, the water steward, Ruan Xiao, and others were all at his level.
He had lost confidence and didn’t want to continue fighting.
His body didn’t allow him to continue either.
“What are you saying?”
Jannadrah immediately turned his gaze, glaring at Pamek with a murderous intent, clearly annoyed by the words of this evolver from the same region and planning to kill him.
“Saint, you only have a thirty percent chance of winning against Ye Zhongming,” Pamek shook his head and pushed away Alamos, who had moved to block him.
“He has obtained the Star Spirit, in its complete form.”
This statement quieted the raging Jannadrah.
Stardust Sand was a specialty of the West Asia Zone, and the Star Spirit was something they discovered first. But in the end, it was obtained by the powerful individuals from the China Zone.
Both Jannadrah and Pamek had previously set their sights on the Star Spirit, knowing what an existence it was and the hardships one had to endure to obtain it, needing long periods of intense battles.
At that time, they couldn’t complete the challenge, so naturally, they couldn’t acquire the Star Spirit.
Yet Ye Zhongming succeeded, which indicated he accomplished that bizarre task of challenging nearly all the stars in the alternate space. Even at Jannadrah or Pamek's level, they wouldn’t easily take such risks.
This challenge tested not only combat power but also endurance in battle, mental resilience, overall equipment, and class advantages.
If any one of these standards was not met, one wouldn't be recognized by the elemental spirit in the end.
If someone achieved this, what did that mean?
For the first time, Jannadrah calmed down from his excitement over his rising power and carefully considered the danger Ye Zhongming posed.
“I couldn’t hold on for even two minutes under his full power, and he only used half of his strength.”
Pamek's words drew everyone's eyes to Ye Zhongming.
The foreign zone representatives were stunned to hear this for the first time, particularly Alamos, who was very familiar with Pamek’s strength. He finally realized the level of Ye Zhongming.
The representatives from the National Zone were even more shocked because they knew Ye Zhongming was strong, but they didn’t know he was this strong.
Facing an opponent of the same level and able to defeat them in under two minutes without using full strength? That was quite exaggerated!
“He also possesses the Sea King Crown!”
This voice came from Guan Cheng Village, who had previously been quite dispirited.
This four-legged being stepped forward, bowed apologetically to Ye Zhongming, then stood behind him.
“What do you mean, Guan Cheng Village?” Wen Yan shouted.
Ye Zhongming was indeed strong, but the people on Alamos’s side were not weak either. Jannadrah and Alamos essentially had their full combat strength; he was injured but still capable of fighting.
Pamek was unreliable, but David and the others could at least provide some support. Guan Cheng Village, while not as strong as top experts, had strange abilities that could be helpful, yet now he had moved to the other side?
“What do you mean? Don't you understand?” Guan Cheng Village showed no signs of betrayal, feeling rather honored instead.
“I have joined Cloud Summit, and I’ve already discussed it with Boss Ye.”
“Traitor!”
Wen Yan angrily pointed at him. After all, the two of them were representatives of the National Zone.
