On the screen, Jiang Ye seemed completely unaffected by the Demon Sound.
This was quite unexpected!
Only trainees at Upper A level, with extremely deep foundations, could shield their five senses and be immune to the Demon Sound at this stage.
Yet Jiang Ye, logically speaking, should not possess this ability yet.
Chen Yuntian stared at the projection, utterly perplexed.
"A bit exaggerated." Even Elder Bai shook his head and remarked, "This little guy has secrets."
"However, with the Star Refining Pass starting soon, what comes next will entirely test raw strength." Elder Bai watched the screen.
"Star Refining Pass." Zhu Honglie also looked at the projection, showing a trace of seriousness.
The Star Refining Pass, within the Heaven-Reaching Refining, is the hardest checkpoint!
...
The galaxy was vast.
On the Heaven-Reaching Road, Jiang Ye was sprinting swiftly, like a gust of wind.
The 50-kilometer course had already been half-covered.
Now, Jiang Ye had reached the eighth position!
The seven people ahead of him had all cultivated powerful step techniques, visibly erupting with star energy.
Jiang Ye was not in a rush to overtake.
"I wonder what checkpoints lie ahead, might as well let those in front of me scout the way." Jiang Ye thought to himself.
The higher one's ranking, the sooner they enter the checkpoint.
Jiang Ye's speed was at 400%, with his own attributes reduced by 60%. If faced with a sudden attack like at the Stone Fall Pass, he might not react in time.
After all, reducing speed takes time.
Jiang Ye couldn't immediately decelerate from several hundred meters per second to zero; his physical strength dramatically decreased in high-speed modes, barely sustaining.
Adjusting from 400% back to 100% would take about 3 seconds.
During these 3 seconds, encountering any sudden situation would be very dangerous!
"Maintain this speed." Jiang Ye continued to dash forward swiftly.
25 kilometers.
30 kilometers.
40 kilometers.
"Whew!" Suddenly,
The upper stream of the Heaven-Reaching Road appeared with huge shadows.
A fleet of Bronze Warships approached flying through the air; each warship spanned thousands of meters, with a Profound Black battle flag hanging from the bow, exuding a chilling aura.
"Woo~" An oppressive horn blew.
The next moment, dense figures, like a swarm of bees, flew out from those Bronze Warships.
Heading towards the hundreds of students on the Heaven-Reaching Road to attack.
"Kill!"
A thunderous shout roared through.
The figures descending from the warships all wore White Cloud Battle Robes, with a clear objective, ten combined to attack one.
"Boom!"
"Boom!" "Boom..." A fierce battle erupted instantly.
Every freshman faced an onslaught of ten opponents.
Jiang Ye was no exception, quickly adjusted his speed back to 100%, his combat power returning to its peak.
"Third checkpoint, combat checkpoint?" Jiang Ye glanced at the ten white-robed figures charging towards him.
These white-robed warriors were clearly not living entities but executing some program.
Each face looked exactly the same!
Jiang Ye opened the panel to check, unable to see any talent information.
"Swish~" Jiang Ye's body flickered like lightning, darting out in an instant.
As his figure flashed, the ten white-robed warriors also came encircling and attacking, incredibly fast.
Intercepting Jiang Ye from multiple directions.
Jiang Ye, seeing this, knew the battle was inevitable.
Only by eliminating these ten white-robed warriors in front of him could he continue forward!
"Kill!"
Star energy in Jiang Ye's body rapidly circulated, unleashing formidable Martial Arts Qi Spirit.
His Essence, Qi, and Spirit instantly peaked.
"Swish!" Jiang Ye turned into a phantom, disappearing from the spot.
Reappearing, he was already in front of a white-robed warrior, throwing a punch.
The white-robed warrior reacted quickly, instantly bursting with powerful combat ability, engaging with Jiang Ye in close combat.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Jiang Ye freely unleashed his Fist Technique, each punch pushing the opponent back.
Throughout the summer month, Jiang Ye spent over half a million on nutritional supplements and medicine.
The progress was incredibly significant.
Now, his Star Martial Advancement Technique has broken through to Great Success by 30%!
This Advancement Technique not only develops the Guanyuan Acupoint but also significantly improves physical strength.
Now, Jiang Ye was no longer a novice in the First Break.
Even those at the peak of the First Break, he was qualified to battle!
"Boom!!" Jiang Ye stomped the ground, suddenly executing a fierce flying kick.
"Bang!"
That white-robed warrior flew back like a sandbag, body shattered apart.
All this, though described slowly, happened in just moments.
From the battle's start to Jiang Ye defeating one white-robed warrior, only a few seconds had elapsed.
"So fragile?" Jiang Ye arched an eyebrow; the opponent's strength clearly reached First Break level.
But their physical strength was far inferior to his.
"Nine remaining." Jiang Ye's gaze swept over the distance.
During the earlier fight, the other nine white-robed ones weren't idle.
They seemed to be preparing something, a vast pressure was accumulating continuously.
"Kill!"
Jiang Ye couldn't care for much else, turned into a phantom once more, charging at the nearest white-robed warrior.
"Whew!"
At that moment, a brilliant star light suddenly appeared in front of the white-robed warrior.
"Swoosh!"
That person lifted a finger, a star light flashed towards Jiang Ye.
"What's this?" Jiang Ye squinted, quickly evading.
A terrifying ray skimmed past his chest, erupting with a deafening sonic boom.
Fortunately, Jiang Ye dodged in time and was unscathed.
"Star Weapon?" Jiang Ye's pupils contracted, looking at the previous beam, "Doesn't seem like it, what is this?"
A First Break Martial Arts Master wielding a Star Weapon can unleash tremendous power.
The rules of the Heaven-Reaching Refining clearly state that students may not bring Star Weapons in.
If the checkpoint enemies used Star Weapons, it would be utterly unscrupulous.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Several rays again shot at Jiang Ye.
This time, Jiang Ye did not dodge.
"Clang!" "Clang!" He punched out, dazzling star light erupted, enduring the rays head-on.
His arm numbed for a while.
This time, Jiang Ye saw clearly.
"Ordinary swords and knives?"
"But how can ordinary swords and knives fly?" Jiang Ye wondered, as the biggest feature of a Star Weapon was remote control via star energy.
Ordinary weapons lack this feature.
"Swish Swish Swish!" At this moment, several other white-robed warriors, each had several star lights appear in front of them.
With a wave of their hands, those lights shot out.
"Boom!" "Boom..." Like exploding cannonballs, tearing through the sky, they blasted down at Jiang Ye.
Each strike! Comparable to an attack at the peak of the First Break.
Jiang Ye unleashed his strength, constantly retaliating.
But, the assaults were overwhelmingly fierce, Jiang Ye continuously retreated, soon acquiring injuries.
"Ranged attacks? Everyone can do it?" His heart was extraordinarily shaken.
A First Break Star Sky Martial Arts practitioner, unless they possess a Star Weapon, shouldn't have ranged attack means.
These white-robed warriors, just at First Break level, all possessing such means.
Incredible!
Recalling the earlier fight with that white-robed warrior, Jiang Ye vaguely realized something.
"A Mage?" In Jiang Ye's eyes, a light flashed.
The next instant, his eyes turned sharp.
"Swish~" Jiang Ye's form turned into lightning, charging towards the white-robed warriors amidst a barrage of incoming star lights.
Terrifying force left deep gashes on Jiang Ye as he dashed through the storm of star light.
