High-Level Martial Era

The second requirement is high skill level, at least Fifth Stage Perfection.

However, these two often present a paradox, because, under normal circumstances, if one achieves Fifth Stage Perfection before age 30... they would have been selected for Martial Divine Hall long ago.

Because of this, it's extremely rare for newcomers of Martial Divine Hall to make it to Seven Star Mountain in a single battle.

On average, it happens only once every seven or eight years.

...

"Captain, do you think he can win the seventh match?" Alicia couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe." Li Yuan smiled and said, "If he wins, it's a good thing, it means our civilization is even stronger."

Many people were looking forward to it.

"He must win the seventh match, to take the first place indisputably." Many of the old members who bet on Bertman were quite excited.

"Please don't win."

"Just don't win, give me a way out."

"As long as I don't lose this time, in the future, I will definitely not gamble anymore." Yan Jing silently hoped in his heart.

Having witnessed Bertman's terrifying strength, Yan Jing didn't dare to hope Li Yuan could be stronger.

Even if Li Yuan's skill could compare, what about his physical quality? His Star Technique? These often need time to accumulate.

On the Seven Stars battlefield. Enjoy new chapters from empire

The Gatekeeper for the seventh match didn't appear as swiftly as the previous six matches but instead waited for half a day, seemingly giving Bertman time to recover.

Finally, the seventh Gatekeeper appeared.

He was a human clad in a silver Battle Garment, emitting a strong aura.

The Gatekeeper for the seventh match was a true Flying Heaven Warrior!

"A Flying Heaven Warrior." Bertman also looked very solemn; he had known beforehand that his opponent was a true Flying Heaven Warrior.

"Bertman."

"Like Bores." The man in the silver Battle Garment said with a smile, "I cannot fly, nor can I use Origin Power, my body is only at level 30, and my skill is merely at Fifth Stage Perfection... As long as you can defeat me, you will be a member of Seven Star Mountain."

"Understood." Bertman nodded.

Such a Flying Heaven Warrior could be considered the weakest, renouncing the greatest advantage of being a Flying Heaven Warrior—the ability to fly.

In this situation, if he still couldn't win, it meant he hadn't even met the threshold for the Flying Heaven Level.

Naturally, he didn't qualify to enter Seven Star Mountain.

Boom!

The two finally clashed, and Bertman burst out with his full strength right from the start, unleashing not just his Body Refining Star Technique but another Star Technique as well, making his power incredibly terrifying.

But as a Flying Heaven Warrior, the silver-clad man's power was also incredibly terrifying. With his long sword flashing, light danced, Origin Power wove into threads, and thunders moved in and out wildly.

The two fought for over a thousand moves.

In the end, Bertman had the last laugh. With one final mighty slash, the silver-clad man couldn't withstand it and was thrown flying, his body faintly oozing blood.

"You've won." The silver-clad man got up, the corner of his mouth tinged with a bit of blood, but his face held a smile, "Congratulations, you've ascended Seven Star Mountain."

"Thank you, senior." Bertman bowed, reined in his Star Technique, and returned to normal.

...

"He won!"

"Haha, Bertman won!! He won!"

"One battle to the mountaintop." The entire Spectator Space erupted, with many old and new members greatly excited.

One battle to the mountaintop, this kind of feat, had not been seen for many years.

Being able to witness it was quite rare.

"He actually won."

"One battle to the mountaintop, this Bertman is indeed powerful."

"When I was as old as Bertman, I probably wasn't as good as him." Tavares and An Yongya sighed with emotion, these super geniuses only recognized those with great strength.

Clearly, Bertman's strength had earned their approval.

"Haha, Yu Jinghe, it seems you were wrong." Pei Jun revealed a smile, "Bertman ascended the mountain in one battle, do you still think Li Yuan is stronger?"

"I was wrong." Yu Jinghe was also forthright and reflected, "It's not that Li Yuan isn't strong enough, if he had one more year of cultivation, he might surpass Bertman, but unfortunately..."

Even Yu Jinghe, confident in Li Yuan, had to admit defeat in the face of Bertman's one battle to the mountaintop.

At least.

For today, Bertman was the most dazzling star.

...

"It's over." Yan Jing's face turned ashen, "Now there's really no hope."

Yan Jing was fond of Li Yuan but didn't think he could ascend the mountain in one battle.

"That's what you get for gambling!"

"Lost another 1000 Seven Stars Points!!" A lovely woman beside him bitterly said, "Don't gamble next time."

Yan Jing went completely silent.

...

"One battle to the mountaintop."

"Indeed not bad."

"No wonder he was taken as a Direct Disciple by Xue Bu."

"His final burst of strength was stronger than I expected." In the virtual Spectator Space, a group of Demigods also expressed their impressions.

Bertman's burst of strength wasn't too shocking for them, after all, he was already quite old.

These Demigods were dazzling in their youth, many no less than Lude Nef.

And they all knew that Bertman was a 'Xue Bu Demigod' Direct Disciple.

...

The undefeated Bertman left the Seven Stars battlefield, and immediately all eyes turned to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was the last one on the match list to make his appearance.

Once he completed his battle, this year's rookie contest would be over.

Also, as the most famous in this rookie battle, he naturally garnered a lot of attention.

"Captain," Alicia's eyes flickered with worry as she whispered, "Don't feel pressured."

"Li Yuan."

"Just do your best," Jin Huguo couldn't help but say, "Surviving five matches is a victory, don't be affected."

Other friends also looked at Li Yuan, appearing somewhat concerned.

"What, you all think I'm intimidated by Bertman?" Li Yuan chuckled, fully aware of his friends' worries.

It can't be helped.
