Chapter 357: 182 Eastern Seven Stars, planted the devil seed

Thump, thump, thump!

Three silhouettes dragging trails of black smoke crashed heavily onto the ground.

On the stage stood a towering black and crimson figure, slowly retracting his fist. His thick shoulders and back, shrouded in a dense white steam, slowly rose to mid-air as if features on his face were tearing and entwining each other, radiating terrifying heat.

A sense of unbeatable pride and might converged from all directions.

"Weaker than I imagined..."

"Have I become this strong?"

Bai Xiao muttered to himself, as the crimson glow in his eyes faded amidst the white fog.

At the same time.

At the Fiery Fire Stadium, in an amphitheater surrounded by spectator seats, factions stationed around.

After a brief silence, a huge uproar crazily echoed and spread. Shock, surprise, disbelief, and even fervor and adoration mixed within. Watching this match was truly worth the price of admission! They had witnessed, with their own eyes, the meteoric rise of a Martial Arts prodigy!

First sweeping through core disciples of other sects.

Then easily defeating the top disciple of Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall who was at the Martial Artist level.

And finally, facing three alone, he straightforwardly crushed three Sect Elders!

With such boldness, such combat power, such a realm, Bai Xiao is the leader of the young generation in the Secret Martial World of Huaisui City! Moreover, he would not stop here; the Dark World combat competition was just around the corner!

How much of a storm could Bai Xiao, this fierce dragon, stir in that arena?

Many were looking forward to it.

"The Fierce Bird Sect’s top core disciple Bai Xiao, and Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall’s top core disciple Xing Lie both possess Martial Artist strength. That kind of astounding destructive power just now, far exceeded a Breaker’s! No wonder in previous individual matches, when these two met the top core disciples from other sects, they were so at ease, clearly holding back..."

In the spectator seats, a disciple shook his head and sighed with emotion.

"I’ve never seen such a final in a Martial Arts Exchange Conference, the Fierce Bird Sect’s top disciple Bai Xiao defeated Xing Lie. Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall can’t take a loss, they actually let Elders intervene in an ongoing match. The result, losing both wife and soldiers, not only is Xing Lie, who was about to participate in the Dark World combat competition, severely injured, but all three Elders were suppressed single-handedly by Bai Xiao!"

"Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall has completely lost face, stepped underfoot..."

Someone spoke with schadenfreude, snickering to themselves.

"I wonder what position the Fierce Bird Sect’s suddenly emerged top core disciple Bai Xiao can achieve in the Dark World combat competition? I’m very excited; maybe this will be the highest position the Secret Martial World of Huaisui City has ever achieved! Top thirty? No, I feel maybe even top twenty?"

A disciple boldly fantasized about the subsequent events.

"Maybe even the top ten?"

"Perhaps even a clash with the Eastern Seven Stars?"

Someone chimed in from nearby.

"Impossible! What are you thinking? The Eastern Seven Stars, the gap is too big! Those seven, they’ve practically locked the top seven positions in the Dark World combat competition for the Eastern division already. There are only three spots left for people from the major sects to compete for. I’ve heard that some among the Eastern Seven Stars are already on par with the Vice Sect Leaders of their own sects..."

To the left, someone with knowledge immediately negated the idea.

The so-called Eastern Seven Stars, a unique moniker that formed over the past three years. For some reason, the usually quiet Secret Martial World of the Tianxia Federation began to thrive unusually, bursting with vitality. Many sects have emerged with an abundance of talents like bamboo shoots after a rain. Even freaks that would only appear once in a decade or maybe even a lifetime occasionally surfaced and competed with each other.

Among the Eastern Secret Martial World, these seven young individuals had strength that was nearing astonishing levels. Some came from well-established and prestigious large sects, some were previously unknown and seemingly sprouted out of nowhere. Others were said to be descendants of some lost Secret Martial arts, and there were even leaders of certain organizations.

For instance, the Ghost Face Organization, a rather mysterious organization that brought together numerous Secret Martial prodigies and almost became a sect itself, forming a new-style martial hall. Its leader, nicknamed Ghost Face, is among the Eastern Seven Stars! Clearly, he intends to emulate many predecessors, aiming to make a great name in this Dark World combat competition, attracting much attention and prestige.

Backed by numerous powers, he was about to fully establish the Ghost Face Organization as a martial hall!

It’s worth noting that the reason there are only seven people in the Eastern Seven Stars is that these seven have swept all the Eastern Secret Martial prodigies, besides themselves, without a single defeat! Only among these seven is there competition, with wins and losses at different times. Someone may have lost a month ago but won back again a month later. Externally, all seven were invariably undefeated!

They have formed a tier unto themselves as the top cadre of Eastern geniuses. Other so-called Secret Martial prodigies can’t even see the threshold.

"Indeed, although the Fierce Bird Sect’s Bai Xiao just displayed indisputable strength and fighting power, he absolutely can’t match up to the Eastern Seven Stars. Let alone the Eastern Seven Stars, the top ten is definitely impossible as the so-called top ten is equivalent to competing for the top three. The top seven positions have already been claimed by the Eastern Seven Stars. In my opinion, even placing in the top twenty in the Dark World combat competition would make one a true Secret Martial prodigy, and Bai Xiao might have a chance..."
