Watching Dugu Lin wiping out others from the night sky map, Wang Baole thought about it and laughed suddenly.

“It’s good that you’re wiping out the rest!” The outcome of this battle had already turned into the inevitable battle between him and Dugu Lin. Dugu Lin’s act of wiping out the others was clearly to ensure that the battle would not be interrupted. Wang Baole felt that it was a good move made by Dugu Lin, and he stood up on the mountain peak.

“Let’s begin to wipe out the rest as well, targeting those from his clan!” With that, Wang Baole stepped into the air and flew out. Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao followed behind, and the trio charged forward towards all the locations on the map that marked the position of the keys.

Therefore, the map was gradually cleared with both Wang Baole and Dugu Lin heading in two different directions!

This was a bitter experience for the disciples of Feng Qiuran and Mie Liezi. Previously, Wang Baole was someone insignificant in their minds. However, with this trial, Wang Baole had risen up like a star, and he had even managed to defeat Zhou Chudao to become one of the two elites in the trial ground.

The struggling cultivators under Mie Liezi were all aghast at his arrival. Even though they were indignant, they also knew that it was impossible for them to succeed in this trial, given their capabilities. Initially, they also held onto the hope of reaching the top three by chance.

Of course, if someone, either Wang Baole or Dugu Lin were to fail, they felt that second place was possible. However, they had already realized that neither Wang Baole nor Dugu Lin was giving others a chance!

Therefore, this so-called ‘wipe out’ was simply an assembly of keys. It wasn’t possible that anyone would foolishly try to fight back, regardless of whether it was people from Feng Qiuran or Mie Liezi’s clan. Right now, those who had keys weren’t stupid either. Most of the time, after being caught up to by either Wang Baole or Dugu Lin, they would hand over their keys without a fight.

However, amongst the two clans, there were still a few who weren’t smart. Towards people like them, Dugu Lin and Wang Baole acted similarly. They didn’t kill them but simply broke their legs to cripple them.

Looking at it from the night sky map, one could see that the stars that represented the two of them were extremely distinct, sweeping across each other’s region. Three hours later, through beating up or taking away the keys, the disciples from Mie Liezi and Feng Qiuran’s clan gradually lost all the keys they had.

It was the same for Daoist You Ran’s clan as well. Even though they were a neutral party, as the scene was cleared, they also knew that it was meaningless to persevere. In this trial, everyone could be considered a beginner, and the value of their existence lay simply in helping those two elite stars rise to the top!

Therefore, when they met Wang Baole and Dugu Lin, the disciples of Daoist You Ran didn’t bother to resist, and instead courteously handed out their keys. As this went on, before long, it was a mere one hour until the second teleportation. There were no longer anymore scattered keys on the night sky map.

There were only two stars made from numerous keys assembled together, and the numerous keyless participants who would be eliminated in this round of teleportation.

Right now, all these people raised their heads to look at the night sky map as they waited in silence.

As they waited, Wang Baole looked away from the night sky, and he looked at Zhao Yameng and Kong Dao.

Without hesitation, Zhao Yameng took out all the keys she had. Kong Dao took a deep breath as he similarly passed all his keys to Wang Baole.

“Baole, you must win!” Kong Dao spoke in a deep voice.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yameng’s face, and a look of anticipation appeared in her eyes. Looking at both of them, Wang Baole smiled as he kept all the keys, before speaking calmly.

“Let’s see each other outside in a while!” With that, Wang Baole turned around and stepped into mid-air. With his full speed unleashed, he turned into a shooting star as he charged towards the north, where Dugu Lin was!

At the same time, Dugu Lin, who was meditating on some rocks, suddenly opened his eyes, which carried an extremely strong desire to battle as he mumbled.

“You, who defeated Zhou Chudao… I wonder if you have the ability to force me to unleash the second divine power!” With that, Dugu Lin smiled and stood up. He was like a giant as he stepped forward, flying into the air with the speed of lightning, charging towards the approaching Wang Baole!

The two of them, one from the north and one from the south, were traveling extremely fast such that the distance between them was shortened instantly. This intense move by both of them made everyone on the trial grounds who had lost their keys extremely taken aback. To them, even if they were destined to fail, the fact that they could witness the battle between the elites of the Dao Palace made their failure worthwhile.

That was especially so as the battle to become the first was between a Dao Palace local and a Federation cultivator!

From the aspect of emotional ties, they naturally hoped that Dugu Lin would emerge victorious. However, everyone also recognized Wang Baole’s rising. It could be said that in the hearts of these people, it was difficult to say who would eventually win!

However, the majority still hoped that Dugu Lin would win!

Amidst those emotions, and as Wang Baole and Dugu Lin neared each other, the other cultivators on the trial grounds also advanced at high speed. Their goal was to reach the region between the two of them. With their speed, estimating the region where they would make contact wasn’t a difficult task.

At the same time, as Wang Baole and Dugu Lin’s battle was about to begin on the trial grounds, and as the others assembled, the public square outside was teeming with sounds of discussion and commotion. Everyone focused their attention as they looked towards the sky, where the eye-catching figures of Wang Baole and Dugu Lin were on the big screen!

The two of them were nearing each other at such high speed that thunder was produced continuously. A tear was formed in the empty space as a result of their speed, such that it appeared as if the sky behind the both of them was being torn open!

Their force also grew increasingly stronger as they charged ahead!

“The both of them are gearing up!”

“Dugu Lin only used a single spell for both his previous two battles. That shows how formidable he is. As for Wang Baole, the blood-colored armor that he used to defeat Zhou Chudao is astonishing as well!”

“If Wang Baole’s blood-colored armor can be sustained for a long period of time, then the outcome of this trial will be uncertain. However, if he is unable to sustain it, then Dugu Lin will definitely win!”

As all the disciples on the public square were engaged in heated discussions, the Federation Seedlings were also extremely nervous. They were agitated and worried, and with the myriad of emotions that they were feeling, everything turned into anxiety.

Even the Nascent Soul realm cultivators from the Dao Palace looked solemn. It was clear that whether it was Wang Baole or Dugu Lin, both of them had showcased, to a certain extent, a combat power that was similar to that of a Nascent Soul realm cultivator!

Naturally, their experience was on a level that those Core Formation realm disciples couldn’t compare to. Therefore, after witnessing the duo engage in their individual battles, they had reached a conclusion in their hearts.

“Wang Baole will lose.”

“He will lose because he is still in the mid-stage Core Formation realm, while Dugu Lin has already reached the perfected Core Formation realm!”

“In the face of an enemy that isn’t on par with you, combat power is important. However, if both sides are equally powerful, then how long they each can last becomes crucial!” As the Nascent Soul realm cultivators made their own judgments, Feng Qiuran also took a deep breath as she looked at Mie Liezi.

“Mie Liezi, it’s time to end the battle now that we have reached this stage.”

“Even if we go according to the rules, we still need to wait until after the teleportation to make a decision. There is still an hour left. Elder Qiuran, you’re too anxious.” Mie Liezi spoke calmly as he rejected her proposition.

Feng Qiuran narrowed her eyes and was about to say something when Daoist You Ran suddenly spoke.

“Elder Qiuran, it’s just an hour. I am also curious to know who would emerge victorious between the two of them! Furthermore, halting the battle now wouldn’t only not be accepted by the both of them, but it is also something that the surrounding disciples would be against.”

Feng Qiuran looked at the disciples around her and noticed the anticipation and passion in their eyes. She also looked at Wang Baole and Dugu Lin from the screen in the sky and saw their strong desire to battle. As such, she fell silent.

As Feng Qiuran fell silent, the spectators focused their attention on the trial grounds. Five minutes later, on the night sky map of the trial grounds, the two stars nearing each other from the north and south finally met each other!

Perhaps due to a coincidence, or perhaps it was on purpose, the location where they met was a double-peaked mountain!

A mountain with two peaks stood stably on the ground, towering as it pointed towards the skies!

Right now, a loud boom was produced as Wang Baole appeared on the right peak, while Dugu Lin arrived on the left peak. As he stood on the peak, he looked like a god at Wang Baole, who was a thousand feet away from him with bright eyes!

“Wang Baole!”

Wang Baole looked at him as well, and their gaze met in mid-air. Vaguely, a loud boom produced from around both of them and reverberated in all directions.

“Dugu Lin!”
