Chapter 570: Chapter 348: Late-stage Saint Realm, The Scholar’s Experience Is Full Again

The first thing on the screen was the introduction for the video’s protagonist.

[Name: Time Shadow]

[Affiliation: Sanctuary of Time]

The first scene, once again from the first phase of the preliminaries, was set on the surface of a barren, lifeless planet.

It showed a young man with flowing silver hair and a cold, severe expression.

The young man carried a silver spear on his back, its entire length shimmering with temporal ripples.

He was walking forward with a stride that seemed unhurried.

Far in the distance ahead of him was a burly man exuding the aura of an early-stage Tier One Star Lord.

His face was a mask of sheer terror as he pushed his speed to the absolute limit, fleeing madly and kicking up vast clouds of dust.

However, no matter how desperately the burly man fled for his life,

the distance between him and the silver-haired youth didn’t increase. Instead, it shrank at a terrifying rate, visible to the naked eye.

It was as if time was accelerating around the silver-haired youth, or as if the burly man’s time was being slowed down.

In just a few breaths, the silver-haired youth, Time Shadow, had closed the distance to within dozens of miles behind the burly man.

This was a distance that should have been relatively safe for someone at the Star Lord Level.

At this moment, Time Shadow made his move.

He didn’t even take down the spear from his back.

He simply formed his fingers into the shape of a spear and, from a distance, made a gentle thrusting motion toward the fleeing figure.

VMMMM!

An indescribable, peculiar ripple that transcended all spatial barriers suddenly burst forth.

It was not a pure energy impact, but a ripple of the Time Law.

As he made that thrust, dozens of miles ahead, the body of the burly Tier One Star Lord fleeing at full speed suddenly went rigid.

The terrified expression on his face froze instantly, the life in his eyes abruptly extinguished.

His massive body lost all strength, like a puppet with its strings cut.

From its state of high-speed flight, it silently fell towards the ground below.

"What a powerful application of the Time Law." After watching this scene, Li Wen couldn’t help but exclaim in sincere admiration.

’This level of mastery has definitely reached the level of a mid-stage Tier Two Star Lord.’

The second scene was also from the second phase of the preliminaries: a thousand-person battle royale on a massive stage.

This time, with more opponents present, Time Shadow displayed even greater strength.

His figure was elusive, as if weaving through the cracks in time. Finally, he brought his silver spear into play.

With each flick of the spear’s tip, his opponents’ movements, defenses, and even their thoughts were shattered by the chaotic currents of time.

While his speed at clearing the field wasn’t as shockingly instantaneous as Ling Xuzi’s overwhelming dominance,

it possessed an elegance and precision that suggested absolute control, and his efficiency was just as terrifyingly high.

Li Wen observed and assessed carefully. ’The fluctuations of the Time Law he’s emitting have already reached the late-stage Tier Two Star Lord level...’

’He’s very strong, but compared to Ling Xuzi’s spatial control—which is at the level of a Tier Three Star Lord at the very least—the gap is still quite obvious.’

Next, Li Wen clicked on the third video.

Introduction of the protagonist:

[Name: Illusory]

[Affiliation: Mimeng Dynasty (One of the Nine Divine Countries)]

A woman with a graceful figure and an ethereal, mysterious aura appeared on the screen.

On her brow was a strange, ever-changing marking.

Her eyes were as deep as a kaleidoscope, containing a magical power that could suck in one’s soul.

The first scene was a special battlefield filled with hazy light and shadow.

Illusory floated quietly in the air. Opposite her stood three mid-stage Tier One Star Lord experts in a defensive formation.

The three of them clearly knew how terrifying she was; they didn’t dare to look directly into her eyes.

With eyes shut tight, they channeled their Primordial Power to the fullest, erecting layer after layer of light shields.

However, Illusory just raised the corners of her mouth into a faint, unsettling smile.

The strange marking on her brow suddenly lit up, as if opening a gateway to the abyss of nightmares.

She didn’t even make an offensive move. From several miles away, she simply glanced in their direction.

That was not a "look" in the physical sense, but a purely spiritual gaze.

A formless and intangible, yet overwhelmingly powerful, fluctuation of a peculiar Law ignored the physical distance.

It ignored the three’s closed eyelids and layered light shields, directly acting on the core of their Primordial Spirits.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The three Tier One Star Lords in the defensive formation all shuddered violently at the same time.

Their tightly shut eyes flew open, but their pupils had instantly lost all light.

They became hollow and dazed, then filled with an unspeakable, absolute terror.

The color instantly drained from their faces, and their bodies, as if sapped of all strength, collapsed limply.

Their virtual consciousnesses directly dissipated.

In the illusion, their Primordial Spirits had been completely destroyed.

They died without ever having a chance to mount any effective resistance.

’The Illusion Skill Law. Another one at the Tier Three Star Lord level.’ Li Wen’s eyebrow twitched.

This Law of Illusory’s was exceptionally bizarre and tyrannical, far surpassing the scope of ordinary mental attacks.

It was a Power of Rules that directly targeted the soul and constructed tangible nightmares.

Her gaze was a life-reaping curse.

To other combatants, the level of danger she posed was even greater than Time Shadow’s, placing her on par with Ling Xuzi.

Li Wen, however, paid it no mind.

Afterward, Li Wen clicked open the combat videos of the geniuses ranked fourth to tenth in order.

The protagonists in these videos were, without exception, astonishingly talented individuals.

The strength they displayed was mostly between the mid-stage and late-stage Tier Two Star Lord levels.

Their comprehension of Laws was profound, their combat experience was seasoned, and their hidden trump cards were endless.

Their strength basically matched what Li Wen had expected from "top-tier Cosmic Level geniuses" before watching the top three.

Although they were indeed generally much stronger than the previous generation’s contestants, it was still within a normal, understandable range.
