The Seventh Base

Xu Mo walked up to Erin Uranos and whispered, "Let's go."

Erin Uranos blinked and gently nodded; it was the first time she'd seen Xu Mo be so domineering, to pierce through Gisman, who was ranked eighth on the leaderboard, with a single stroke.

This was despite Xu Mo holding back; if it were a life-and-death battle, Gisman would now be a corpse.

This was also the first time Xu Mo showcased such terrifying combat power after three months, far stronger than when he first entered the Mystic God Temple and fought against Saye.

The battlefield was exceptionally quiet; everyone watched as the two of them left, then glanced at Gisman, who was getting up, their hearts stirred.

Gisman could rank eighth on the leaderboard, a testament to his unquestionable combat power, especially after he was challenged and defeated in the first battle. He returned to spar with others and demonstrated strong combat power to restore his dignity.

However, he was promptly obliterated by Xu Mo.

It seemed like everyone had a fresh understanding of Xu Mo.

Everyone vaguely understood why Xu Mo was listed as the first by the elders of the Mystic God Temple.

In three months, he had undergone a transformation.

"Bastard..."

An angry growl erupted, Gisman's voice, causing everyone to turn to look at him with some sympathy; it was too miserable.

First, he was kicked out in the first battle of the Ten Temple Alliance, and then after coming out, he wanted to perform to restore his dignity, even injuring Erin Uranos in the process, only to be humiliated by Xu Mo. It made his attack on Erin seem disgraceful.

In the future, Gisman might be unable to lift his head.

For Xu Mo, this was a trivial matter. Gisman always regarded him as a potential competitor, but Xu Mo never saw Gisman as worth considering unless provoked.

But Gisman repeatedly provoked and injured Erin Uranos, so Xu Mo didn't mind stepping on him, hoping he would behave himself in the future.

The Mystic God Temple quickly spread the news of Xu Mo's decisive defeat of Gisman, leading many to speculate on the extent of Xu Mo's combat power. Has his actual combat strength reached Augustus' level after three months of cultivation?

The following battles should reveal this, creating some anticipation for Xu Mo's combat power.

If Xu Mo's combat power reaches Augustus' level, then Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple won't fall behind in top-tier power.

Moreover, if Xu Mo is strong, then Zero, ranked second, might not be weak either.

After returning, Xu Mo continued his cultivation.

On the second day, various Mystic God Temples once again gathered in the virtual world battlefield.

Today would be the battle of the final hundred, the pinnacle of combat. The Mystic God Temple's Ten Temple Alliance would culminate in this battle, selecting the strongest Transcendent from the ten temples to become a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple.

The people of Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple had arrived, Gisman among them, his gaze sweeping over Xu Mo ahead with a chilly aura; he remembered yesterday's overwhelming humiliation.

Elder Cleo glanced towards the opposite direction, where Willton's Divine Temple was positioned. He was chased and humiliated by those guys before; this time, Willton's Divine Temple had strong power.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at Xu Mo, Zero, and Augustus beside him, hoping these guys could win him back some pride.

A series of names appeared in the sky above the battlefield, divided into ten columns, representing the rankings of the remaining personnel from the ten Mystic God Temples, floating above everyone's heads.

"In the last battle of the hundred, freely express and showcase yourself. Anyone who wants to fight can challenge others; anyone can, with no limitations." A voice rang out, declaring that this final battle had no rules.

The goal was for these top figures to fully showcase their own strength.

However, selecting opponents became quite important under such circumstances.

"If those who go out to challenge aren't strong enough, even if they win, wouldn't they still expose their combat power?" Xu Mo asked.

"The defeated will surely exert full force; how do you know if the victor is hiding their strength?" Cleo replied.

"True." Xu Mo nodded.

"You don't need to enter the fray so early," Cleo advised, as there would be opportunities for combat later, where showcasing oneself wouldn't require too much fighting.

During today's battle, the Mystic God Temple will analyze the displayed combat power of everyone and consolidate other various data to assess their strength and potential, determining if they qualify as a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple.

Xu Mo in their circle was the ace, the person ranked first, as long as he didn't actively challenge, presumably no one would start by challenging him.

Generally, it begins with the lower rankings going forward, with fewer participants and increasingly stronger combatants.

However, there are always exceptions.

At this moment, a figure stepped out from the opposite side, and one of the names in the air lit up.

Wilton Star's Aus Temple, Royce.

Ranked third in Wilton's Divine Temple.

There are eleven people from Wilton's Divine Temple who entered this round, and the combat power of the one ranked third is beyond doubt.

Moreover, Wilton Star itself is also very powerful, full of geniuses, and the quality of this session of Wilton's Divine Temple is extremely high. Royce's strength is very strong.

When he stepped out, many people felt a pressure. This level of contestant appearing first already poses a threat to the vast majority of people, perhaps only a few top-ranked contestants dare say they can surely win against him.

Apart from O'Brian Star, many other Mystic God Temples ranking second might not have absolute confidence.

As for those ranked lower, they are more uneasy. If Royce chooses to challenge someone ranked lower, he would basically win.

Royce's gaze swept across the crowds of the major Mystic God Temples, finally landing on the location of Chloe Star Temple, causing Cleo to frown. Was the bastard from Wilton's Divine Temple targeting him?

Xu Mo naturally also noticed Royce looking this way. More precisely, his gaze landed on Xu Mo himself, which felt a bit strange to Xu Mo. Could it be…

"I challenge Xu Mo from Chloe Star Temple," Royce said. As he spoke, people from the various Mystic God Temples looked up to see the name in Chloe Star Temple's list.

Ranked first, Xu Mo.

Royce, challenging the first in Chloe Star Temple.

"Cough…" Cleo rolled his eyes. He had just told Xu Mo not to rush into action, but didn't expect someone would challenge Xu Mo.

This way, he had no choice but to act.

Today's battle had no rules, anyone could challenge freely, showcasing their combat power. There were no rankings; the fighting would continue to the end.

Xu Mo's expression was a bit odd, but he still stood up and walked out, stepping into the battlefield.

Seeing Xu Mo's departing figure, Gisman had a grim expression. He was the first to be challenged and eliminated in the previous round, and now Xu Mo was the first to be challenged in this round, and the challenger was none other than the third-ranked genius transcendent Royce from Wilton's Divine Temple.

Gisman hoped Xu Mo would lose. If Chloe Mystic God Temple had chosen Xu Mo as their first, it would become a disgrace. Xu Mo's loss in this battle would undoubtedly nail him to the pillar of shame in Chloe Star Temple's history.

The others from Chloe Star Temple were somewhat nervous. Though some doubted Xu Mo's strength, they still hoped Xu Mo would win, as they practiced together in Chloe Star Temple, and Xu Mo's defeat would be a loss of face for them too.

In the battlefield, the two of them floated in the air. Royce looked at Xu Mo and said, "Are you surprised?"

"A bit," Xu Mo replied. "Because of the grudges between the two Mystic God Temples?"

"No." Royce nodded. "I'm ranked third in Wilton's Divine Temple. Challenging someone ranked lower, even if I win, it has no meaning. From the beginning, my goal was the second or even the first."

Xu Mo thought for a moment and nodded slightly. "In the first battle, if you can defeat the first of a Mystic God Temple, it would undoubtedly capture attention and gain focus."

In a sense, the opponent's strategy wasn't wrong. After all, the purpose of this battle was to show oneself, to be seen by the Mystic God Temple, and to become a candidate for true transmission.

"Earlier, I was more inclined to choose the second person. I researched the profiles of all personnel from the major Mystic God Temples, and finally found that perhaps you would be the best target," Royce continued.

He studied Xu Mo. He was an alternate who passed the assessment to enter Chloe Star Temple and also witnessed his battle with Saye. Although Xu Mo was ranked first and must have his merits, compared to the first person of other Mystic God Temples, Xu Mo was the one he had the most chance of defeating.

Therefore, he chose Xu Mo as his opponent for this battle. If he could take down a number one, it would undoubtedly create a significant impact.

Xu Mo nodded. With a thought, nine flying swords instantly hovered in front of him, emitting piercing sharp ringing sounds. Thunder shone, and the flying swords seemed ready to break through the air at any moment.

Seeing Xu Mo ready to strike, the peculiar energy light on Royce's body flickered, as if weaving an energy battle suit around him, while in his hand appeared an energy sword. A powerful source power aura erupted, and Royce stared at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo excelled in Telekinesis and could use the Heavenly Killing Formation. His defense was strong, and the battle suit formed by superpower had great elasticity. His Telekinesis to control the Heavenly Killing Formation can't instantly break his defense. Furthermore, his speed was very fast, restraining Xu Mo.

"Not a bad strategy." Xu Mo looked at Royce and said.

Royce stared at him, only to see dazzling energy light shining in Xu Mo's eyes. Thunder power exploded around his body, and the flying swords hummed and vibrated at high frequency.

"But perhaps… you picked the wrong person." As Xu Mo's voice fell, a flying sword shot out. Being the first to be challenged, evidently treated as a soft persimmon, that's indeed how Chloe saw it, analyzed him, believing that he was the most likely first to be defeated.

This, was intolerable.

Without a satisfying victory this time, perhaps many more would think like Royce in the days to come.
