Marvel: The other side of the double-passing door is Devouring the Stars

Chapter 266 He actually managed to shatter Ryan's sword with a single punch!
Rowan also gave it his all, perfectly combining the Law of Fire with his mental power. The flames on the Starburst Blade grew stronger and stronger, forming a unique energy form.

"Starfire Blade!" Rowan shouted softly, and the flames on the Starburst Blade suddenly transformed into a mixture of starlight and flames, radiating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

This is a technique that Rowan used in his match against Deng Long, a result of his perfect combination of the Law of Fire and the characteristics of the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade. This special energy form not only possesses the high temperature and burning properties of flames, but also the penetrating and cutting properties of starlight, greatly increasing its power.

Upon seeing this, Thor's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by admiration: "Interesting! Your Fire Laws are perfectly integrated with the Starburst Blade. This energy form is quite unique, possessing both the characteristics of fire and starlight, thus enhancing the weapon's power."

Rowan smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, Thor. This is a technique I've only recently grasped; it's still not fully mature."

Thor grinned: "Then I can't back down either. Look at this!"

After speaking, his second lightning domain was activated, with deep blue and light blue lightning intertwining to form a unique energy form. At the same time, the second gem on the "Thunder Severer" lit up, and the lightning on the blade became even more complex and powerful.

"Dual Lightning Domain - Thunder Blade!"

As Thor swung his sword, the lightning on the "Thunder Cutter" suddenly transformed into a sharp blade, extending the weapon's actual attack range. This special lightning form not only possessed the speed and penetrating properties of lightning but also the cutting properties of a physical blade, greatly increasing its power.

Luo Wen dared not be careless and did his best to deal with this powerful attack. The "Starfire Flow Blade" on the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade was unleashed at full power, forming a barrier interwoven with fire and starlight in front of him.

Two unique energy forms collided, unleashing a dazzling light. Powerful energy fluctuations reverberated throughout the training room, creating ripples of energy.

“Alright, that’s enough,” Hong suddenly said, his voice calm but firm. “Continuing any further could damage the suite due to the energy fluctuations.”

Upon hearing Hong's words, Thor and Rowan immediately withdrew their energy and ended their sparring session.

"Not bad, kid!" Thor patted Rowan on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration. "Your 'Starfire Blade' has great potential. If you can develop it further, it could become your trump card."

Rowan bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, Thor. Your 'Thunder Blade' has truly broadened my horizons; I never knew lightning could be used in this way."

Thor laughed heartily: "This is just the tip of the iceberg of the nine layers of lightning domains. Each layer has its unique characteristics and uses. If there's a chance, I can teach you slowly."

Rowan's eyes lit up: "Really? Thank you so much!"

Hong stepped forward and calmly commented, "Your sparring was excellent. Rowan, you've made great progress, especially in combining the Law of Fire with the Starburst Blade; you've developed your own unique insights. Thor, your guidance was spot-on, stopping short of overexposing your strength, which is commendable."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement: "Yes, this kind of exchange is beneficial to both sides. Through communication and learning, we can discover our own shortcomings and also learn from each other's strengths."

The four returned to the living room and continued their discussion of the day's match and sparring. Thor highly praised Mor's abilities, considering him a worthy opponent. Rowan, on the other hand, sought Thor's advice on combining laws with weapons, finding it very helpful.

As night deepened, the four returned to their rooms to rest. Rowan lay in bed, reflecting on his sparring session with Thor that day. Thor's words kept flashing through his mind: "Fighting is dynamic, techniques are static. A true master isn't someone who memorizes countless moves, but someone who can create the most suitable attack in any situation."

The next morning, the four went to the arena to watch the match as planned. The highlight of the day was the appearance of the savage Rong Jun. Rong Jun was a powerful warrior from the Tu Man tribe, with an extremely high reputation throughout the universe. His opponent was a swordsman known for his speed, named "Lightning Sword" Ryan.

“We need to pay special attention to this match today,” Hong said on the way to the arena. “Rong Jun is a very strong opponent, and if things go well, we might meet him in a later match.”

Luo Feng nodded: "Rong Jun comes from the Tu Man tribe, a race known for their physical prowess. They are born with immense strength and robust physiques; they are natural warriors."

Thor added, "Furthermore, Rong Jun himself is one of the most outstanding members of the Barbarian Slaughtering Clan. It is said that he once defeated a colossal cosmic beast with his bare hands, a being that even a Domain Lord-level expert would have to deal with cautiously."

Rowan asked curiously, "And who is his opponent, 'Lightning Sword' Ryan?"

Hong explained, "Ryan comes from a race called the 'Shadow Clan,' renowned for their speed and agility. Ryan is a genius among the Shadow Clan, mastering lightning-fast swordsmanship at a young age and earning the title 'Lightning Sword.' This match will be a contest of strength and speed, definitely worth watching."

When the four arrived at the arena, the match hadn't started yet, but the stands were already packed. As a highly anticipated contestant, Rong Jun's every match attracted a large audience.

"Look, that's Mo'er from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom," Luo Feng suddenly pointed to a figure in the distance, "He's here to watch the battle too."

Thor looked in the direction Luo Feng pointed and indeed saw yesterday's opponent, Moore. Their eyes met in mid-air, they nodded to each other, and then returned to their seats.

"It seems everyone is quite interested in Rong Jun," Thor commented. "No wonder he's a renowned powerhouse in the universe."

Just then, the announcer's voice echoed throughout the arena: "Next up is the fifth match of the second round, featuring Rong Jun of the Barbarian Slayer Clan against Ryan of the Shadow Clan! This will be an ultimate clash of strength and speed! Let's wait and see!"

As the host finished speaking, information about the two contestants was displayed on the holographic projection:
Rong Jun, a member of the Tu Man tribe, was known as a "savage" and was famous for his astonishing strength and tenacious physique. He once defeated a cosmic behemoth with his bare hands.

Ryan, a member of the Shadow Clan, is known as the "Lightning Sword" for his lightning-fast and precise swordsmanship, and is one of the best among the younger generation.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers. The two fighters walked into the ring from different entrances, sparking another round of cheers.

Rong Jun's appearance was quite unique: over two meters tall, his body bulging with muscles, as robust as a small mountain. His skin was dark brown, covered with tattoos of various tribal totems, giving him a wild look. Most striking was his hair, long, fiery red strands that cascaded wildly over his shoulders. He didn't wear traditional combat attire, but only a piece of animal skin around his waist, revealing his powerful upper body. He carried no weapons, seemingly prepared to fight bare-handed.

In stark contrast was Ryan: tall and slender, with a semi-transparent silver-gray hue, a characteristic of the Shadow Clan. His movements were elegant and fluid, each step seemingly light as if he were walking on clouds. He wore a silver-white combat suit that clung to his body to minimize air resistance. His weapon was a long, slender silver sword, its blade engraved with intricate patterns—special runes that granted him speed.

"The two athletes have completely different styles," Rowan remarked. "One is the embodiment of power, the other the ultimate in speed."

Hong nodded: "Yes, this match will be very exciting. Whoever finds the other's weakness will win."

On the arena, Rong Jun and Ryan stood in their respective positions. Rong Jun crossed his arms in front of his chest, appearing relaxed, but his eyes gleamed with the fire of battle. Ryan, on the other hand, held a sword in one hand and placed the other behind his back, maintaining the elegant posture of a swordsman.

"The match is about to begin. Both competitors, please prepare." The referee's voice echoed throughout the arena. Rong Jun grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth: "Shadow Clan brat, I've heard you're fast. But before absolute power, speed is sometimes futile."

Ryan smiled slightly, his voice as gentle as a breeze: "You savage slayer, I've heard of your name. But you must understand, even the greatest strength is meaningless if it misses its target."

Rong Jun laughed heartily: "You've got guts! I like it! I hope your strength is as tough as your mouth!"

Ryan maintained his smile: "You'll find out soon enough."

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Game start!"

The moment the referee finished speaking, Ryan vanished from his spot, too fast for the naked eye to follow. The next instant, he appeared beside Rong Jun, his longsword flashing like lightning as it pierced towards the opponent's waist.

But Rong Jun's reaction was unexpectedly quick. He swung his thick arm, blocking Ryan's sword. The sound of metal clashing against flesh rang out, but surprisingly, Rong Jun's arm was not injured; instead, it deflected Ryan's sword.

"What?!" Ryan's eyes widened in surprise. "Your skin can actually withstand my sword?"

Rong Jun grinned: "The physique of the Tu Man clan is beyond your imagination. Your little sword is nothing more than a toothpick to me."

With that, he leaped forward, his massive body hurtling towards Ryan like a cannonball. The speed at which such a huge body moved was astonishing.

Ryan quickly dodged, but Rong Jun's attack range was so large that it still grazed the hem of his clothes.

"So fast!" Luo Wen exclaimed, "Rong Jun's speed is incredible!"

Luo Feng nodded: "That's what makes the Tu Man clan so terrifying. They are not only incredibly strong, but their speed also far surpasses ordinary people's imagination. Rong Jun is the best among them; his physical abilities are almost at the top level in the universe."

On the ring, Ryan realized just how formidable his opponent was. He no longer underestimated Rong Jun and began to unleash his full power in his special skills.

"Shadow Clan Secret Technique: Phantom Sword Dance!"

As Ryan finished speaking, his body suddenly split into more than a dozen phantoms, each identical to the original, all attacking Rong Jun simultaneously. These phantoms were not simple optical illusions, but rather energy clones unique to the Shadow Clan, each possessing the ability to launch physical attacks.

Faced with this sudden multi-pronged attack, Rong Jun remained calm. He stomped his feet hard on the ground, causing the entire arena to tremble.

"Savage Slaughter Technique - Earthquake!"

A powerful shockwave emanated from beneath his feet, forming visible energy ripples. Wherever these ripples passed, Ryan's phantoms shattered, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.

"What?" Ryan's main body was also affected by the shockwave, lost his balance, and staggered a few steps.

Rong Jun seized the opportunity and charged at Ryan like a tiger pouncing on its prey, his huge fist smashing down on his opponent with overwhelming force.

Ryan barely managed to steady himself, his longsword drawing a silver arc in the air as he attempted to parry the attack.

"boom!"

Fist clashed with sword, unleashing a powerful shockwave. Ryan's longsword cracked from the impact, and he himself was sent flying dozens of meters by the immense force, crashing into the energy barrier at the edge of the arena before finally coming to a stop.

A gasp erupted from the stands. No one had expected that Ryan, known for his speed, would be so easily defeated in a head-on confrontation.

"Rong Jun's power is terrifying," Rowan said in shock, "He actually managed to shatter Ryan's sword with a single punch."

Thor nodded: "That's the terrifying aspect of the Barbarian Slaughterers. Their physical strength is beyond human imagination, and coupled with Rong Jun's own cultivation, his power has reached an unbelievable level."

On the arena, Ryan struggled to his feet, his longsword riddled with cracks and on the verge of breaking. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating internal injuries.

"How about it, Shadow Clan brat?" Rong Jun grinned, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. "Want to continue?"

A resolute glint flashed in Ryan's eyes: "Of course, the competition has only just begun."

Having said that, he suddenly tossed the already damaged longsword into the air, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and he chanted an ancient incantation: "Shadow Clan Forbidden Technique - Shadow Erosion!"

As he finished speaking, the broken longsword suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silver light, then transformed into countless tiny silver particles that floated in the air. The next moment, these particles, as if attracted by a magnet, all surged towards Ryan's body.

A strange thing happened: the silver particles merged into Ryan's body, turning his skin into a metallic silver-gray that exuded a sharp aura.

"What is this?" Rong Jun asked warily, sensing a significant change in the other party's aura.

Ryan gave a cold smile: "This is a forbidden technique of the Shadow Clan, allowing the user to integrate the properties of a weapon into their body, transforming them into a weapon themselves. From now on, every attack I launch will be like the sharpest blade."
