The Seventh Base

The Ten Temple Alliance has no rules, challenges can be made freely, and there will be ninety-nine battles among one hundred people.

So far, three battles have erupted, all between Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple and Willton's Divine Temple, resulting in Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple's complete victories, three wins in a row, seemingly turning it into a grudge match between the two Great Divine Temples.

The genius Transcendents of the other Eight Great Divine Temples have yet to make a move.

After these three battles, everyone has realized that Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple is not weak in top-tier combat power this time, and could even be considered very strong.

The people of Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple also realized this, after all, they had already selected three hundred people before Xu Mo and Zero joined the temple. Xu Mo and Zero were sent straight to them, ranking first and second. Previously, they doubted that rankings equated to strength, but now, after these three battles, such doubts have vanished.

With two figures of this caliber parachuting in, how could Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple's top-tier combat power not be formidable?

No one else has stepped out yet, instead, everyone is waiting. The various divine temples are still observing, as they also want to see if Willton's Divine Temple will continue?

Luo Lin's defeat has put pressure on everyone else, and their eyes naturally turn towards that person ranked first.

Now, only his intervention would make a difference, as the three behind him have already collectively fallen.

"At the last moment, Luo Lin used his killing move, Spiritual Attack. His spiritual attack was burning, able to scorch the opponent's spiritual power causing them to give up resistance, leading to annihilation, but that woman was not affected at all. From the final outcome, Luo Lin seemed to suffer from a counter-attack of spiritual power himself."

An elder from Willton's Divine Temple spoke, "That woman, she is likely also skilled in spiritual attacks, and in this regard, stronger than Luo Lin. Precisely for this reason, what Luo Lin thought was a killing move instead trapped him in the enemy's attack, playing a negative role and leading to direct defeat."

It must be said, his analysis was mostly correct. Luo Lin's self-assumed killer move stumbled upon what Zero was best at, leading to an instant collapse.

"Endure!" Finally, the elder sighed, just in time to catch Cleo's triumphant gaze.

The Transcendents from Willton's Divine Temple all had unpleasant expressions, but given the current situation, they can't afford to lose anymore.

If the person ranked first were to fight, whom to choose?

To battle, he would surely face the first from the opposite side. Although even now, he still believes in a higher chance of victory, this belief was present in the last three battles as well.

What if they were defeated?

Then, it would practically mean complete annihilation.

In this situation, they can only endure.

Seeing no one stepping out from Willton's Divine Temple, everyone immediately understood that Willton's Divine Temple would not make a move, as they can't afford to lose anymore.

Thus, others stepped out, but this time, they finally refrained from challenging the Transcendents from Chloe's Mystic God Temple.

The strong showing of Xu Mo and Zero made the other divine temples hesitant to target Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, rectifying the disadvantage of the previous round, where after the round ended, they were treated as the easy pickings and challenged.

Now, no one thinks that way anymore.

As the battles continue to erupt, round after round, the number of people keeps decreasing, with each battle eliminating one person, gradually stabilizing the various divine temples, and those ranked lower are continuously being kicked out.

At this moment, another battle ends, with Hudson defeating his opponent and returning to Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, preserving his position and avoiding elimination.

Now, in fact, there are only fifty people left, half have left, and if you calculate the average, Hudson ranks fifth in Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, which is quite a risky position. In this battle, his opponent was also strong, but he defeated him and stayed.

Among fifty people, Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple has five remaining, all ranked in the top five, being Xu Mo, Zero, Augustus, Matthew, and Hudson, exactly at the average number.

Compared to them, Wilson's Temple is far more tragic.

At the start of the battle, they had eleven people, while Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple had only seven.

But now, Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple still has five people, with only two eliminated, while over on Willton's Divine Temple's side, only two remain.

Just like the previous round where Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple was considered easy pickings, after the first three battles ended, Willton's Divine Temple was treated as easy pickings, with rankings two, three, and four gone, leaving a huge gap in the middle.

If not for the fifth ranked Transcendent holding off the pressure, they might be down to just one person now.

And naturally, the temple with the most remaining people is the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple, as they still have nine participants left in the battle, demonstrating the strength of their roster.

The top ten have nearly all stayed until now, becoming the last fifty Transcendents.

Remember in the last session, when the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple fought until the last ten, they still had three participants remaining, meaning their ranking third was even stronger than some temples' top-ranked members, enough to edge out several temple leaders, maintaining their position in the top ten.

And this time, it seems that they are not weaker than the previous batch.

"I'm afraid I won't last much longer." Hudson said upon returning. In the battle just now, he had already felt a kind of pressure. Of the fifty people remaining, the combat power was getting stronger, and judging from past battles, they were all dangerous individuals.

Hudson roughly judged that more than half of them could defeat him, which meant that if more than half challenged him, he would lose and might be eliminated at any time.

"Victory or defeat is natural. No need to pay too much attention. The important thing is to showcase yourself on this stage and display your strongest side. That's enough," Xu Mo said. "We are all the same; we could be eliminated at any time. Just try your best."

"No..." Hudson shook his head. "We are not the same. I am ranked fifth in Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, and you are first. Now, if I am eliminated, I can accept it, but you cannot. At the very least, you must enter the top ten."

Xu Mo represents the face of Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple.

Another reason is that Hudson believes Xu Mo's talent far exceeds his own. In the past three months, the progress has been terrifying. When he initially challenged Xu Mo, Xu Mo admitted defeat, thinking himself inferior. In these three months, he has transformed, mastering various combat skills excellently.

Xu Mo has the chance to compete for the Mystic God Temple's true successor. As long as he remains one of the last ten people here, he has a chance, even if he doesn't get into the top three. Just letting the Mystic God Temple see his potential and talent could be enough.

The identity of the true successor of the Mystic God Temple doesn't necessarily require being ranked at the very top.

"I'll do my best," Xu Mo nodded.

It turned out Hudson's prediction was correct. After a few battles, he was challenged again. His challenger was ranked fifth in the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple. Though both were ranked fifth, it wasn't a deliberate targeting. After a big fight, Hudson eventually lost and was eliminated.

Gradually, the number of people dwindled again, and soon only forty remained.

At this time, Chloe Star was still at the average count, with four remaining.

Wilton's Temple was in a dire situation, with only one left.

The Capital Star O'Brian's Temple still had eight remaining.

"O'Brian's Temple is unconsciously clearing out members of the various Mystic God Temples." Matthew from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple commented.

Xu Mo and Augustus nodded in agreement with Matthew, as they had noticed this too. However, O'Brian's Temple was not targeting any particular Mystic God Temple but was gradually clearing them out by challenging those of the same rank from other Mystic God Temples.

"It seems the O'Brian's Temple wants to make a breakthrough and keep more people." Augustus commented, noting that such clearings would result in them having more left until the end.

As transcendents of the Capital Star's Temple, they probably want to secure all the true successor slots of the Mystic God Temple for themselves?

"I will challenge someone." Augustus declared, then walked out, glanced at the names above, and said, "I challenge Eric from the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple."

Eric, ranked eighth in the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple. It seemed to be an ordinary challenge. Augustus, ranked third in Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, challenged someone from the Capital Star, but only ranked eighth, which wasn't surprising. Perhaps he thought the other should be eliminated.

Augustus indeed thought the Capital Star's numbers were a bit high.

Eric locked his gaze on Augustus, Source Power surging from his body. His hands and feet were equipped with a mechanical body, extremely sharp. With the eruption of Source Power, Eric's body transformed into a dazzling light, disappearing from his original spot.

"So fast..." Many couldn't even see Eric's movement technique clearly. Even ranked eighth in O'Brian's Temple, Eric's strength was undeniably powerful.

The sharp sound of wind rushed towards Augustus, as Eric refracted like afterimages, making it impossible to see his true form.

Augustus stared ahead as danger approached. The next moment, with his body as the center, everything around seemed to change.

Eric suddenly felt himself slowing down, a powerful counterforce pressing against him. As he neared Augustus, the area around seemed different, like a 'domain', beyond his control.

The next moment, the crowd saw Augustus move. In an instant, he dashed towards Eric with terrifying speed, leaving behind afterimages.

"Boom."

A simple punch was thrown, hitting Eric precisely with a thundering boom, causing Eric's body to tremble violently, followed by a second punch, and a third.

Until Eric was forcibly killed.

Eric, a transcendent of the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple, ranked eighth.

Augustus, when he entered Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, was at the top of the leaderboard.
