Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

In the blink of an eye, another ten days or so have passed.

During this time, Xiang Bei and the others continued to fight in the Killing Space and the Duel Space.

Test your abilities and comprehend cultivation techniques in the killing space.

The Duel Space allows you to battle against different masters, gaining experience in fighting against various experts, and also earning money.

During this period, Hong continued his winning streak, and so far no one has been able to take the prize money from the jackpot from him.

However, as many masters fell to Hong, Hong's fame grew.

The martial artists who dare to challenge Hong are getting stronger and stronger, and now Hong has to unleash his domain to ensure his chances of winning.

However, to Xiang Bei's surprise, after Hong revealed his domain, the number of martial artists who came to challenge him did not decrease, but instead increased.

Perhaps those powerful figures don't care about a few hundred million Black Dragon Coins at all; what they care about is a powerful opponent like Hong who has mastered the power of the domain.

The situation was similar for Thor. After comprehending a level of lightning domain, the number of powerful individuals coming to challenge Thor gradually increased.

However, Thor had only just mastered the lightning domain and did not have a powerful lineage of cultivation.

Therefore, he inevitably lost a few matches, but overall it didn't affect anything. On the contrary, these opponents made Thor realize his shortcomings in various aspects, and he is continuously absorbing various combat experiences.

On the other hand, Xiang Bei has not yet fully mastered the wonders of the domain, nor does he have any powerful secret techniques passed down to him, and the opponents he encounters are becoming increasingly stronger.

Each battle became increasingly difficult, and they could only barely maintain a situation where they lost more than they won.

However, Xiang Bei didn't care at all, treating every opponent he encountered in the duel space as a training ground for himself.

Every battle is fought with all his might; every battle is an explosion of his limits.

. . .

Duel Space

"So you're the Overlord?"

The sun hangs high in the sky over a desolate and boundless Gobi Desert.

Xiang Bei stood facing a tall man with fiery red hair and four arms.

The four-armed man was over three meters tall, and his pair of hawk-like eyes were fixed on Xiang Bei.

"Overlord" is naturally Xiang Bei's code name in the duel space.

Xiang Bei wasn't actually sure if his lineage was descended from Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, but since his surname was Xiang and he was best at using the halberd, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give himself the nickname "Hegemon-King."

It's much better than that Thor guy giving himself the ridiculous nickname "God of War".

"It's me." Xiang Bei nodded.

"I heard that you, the assassin, and the martial god are from the same clan. I've challenged both the assassin and the martial god, and I was no match for them. I just don't know how strong you are!" the four-armed man said in a deep voice, but his hawk-like eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit.

"You'll find out soon enough!" Xiang Bei chuckled, his gaze sweeping over the man's body, trying to find a weakness in the four-armed man.

"Alright, I hope you won't disappoint me!" the four-armed man said in a deep voice.

After saying that, the two stopped talking and the four-armed man stomped his feet heavily on the ground. Then, he rushed towards Xiang Bei like a whirlwind.

Each of his four arms gripped a bull horn-tipped knife, moving with incredible speed as if he were about to tear Xiang Bei and the surrounding airflow apart.

"So fast!"

The moment the four-armed man made his move, Xiang Bei also moved. However, the four-armed man was too fast, and Xiang Bei only had time to react defensively before the four-armed man closed in on him.

"Ding ding ding ding"

In an instant, four sharp horn-shaped knives, like a biting cold wind, pierced through from all sorts of tricky angles and unexpected gaps.

No matter how much water and rain seemed to seep through Xiang Bei's halberd, his opponent still managed to find an opening and exploit a weakness in his defense!

"roll!"

Xiang Bei roared and, at the critical moment, abandoned his defense. He thrust his halberd out diagonally, using his long arm to attack the short arm, forcing the four-armed man to retreat and defend.

"Clang clang"

In an instant, the four-armed man blocked Xiang Bei's halberd with three sharp knives, while the other knife still recklessly stabbed towards Xiang Bei's throat at a tricky angle.

"Bang"

Just as his opponent's horn-shaped dagger was about to pierce Xiang Bei, Xiang Bei suddenly lowered his body and narrowly avoided the fatal blow with a swift, powerful lunge.

At the same time, he kicked his own halberd shaft, and a powerful force immediately traveled along the shaft to the halberd head, causing the halberd to quickly break free from the four-armed man's sharp knife block.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Xiang Bei quickly flipped over and slashed diagonally, pouring domineering power into it. With the enhancement of the water element, Xiang Bei's battle halberd smashed down on the four-armed man as if it were a waterfall!

"boom!"

The immense force smashed a huge crater into the dry earth beneath their feet, sending dust and mud flying everywhere!

However, Xiang Bei's heart sank, and he retreated rapidly.

Just as Xiang Bei stepped back, a blurry figure appeared on the ground where Xiang Bei had been standing.

The four sharp knives clearly missed their target.

"Amazing!" Xiang Bei exclaimed.

This four-armed man had clearly comprehended the essence of wind, and his understanding was extremely profound. He had obviously grasped a trace of the domain's power, just like Xiang Bei, and was only one step away from fully comprehending the power of the domain.

Furthermore, Xiang Bei observed that the four-armed man's moves were a self-contained system, clearly indicating that he had learned a complete set of combat techniques and possessed a very profound lineage.

The fact that the other party is here most likely means that they have heard of the three of them and intend to challenge them to a duel in order to delay them and hopefully comprehend the domain method more quickly.

"You're not weak either." The four-armed man remained calm and responded to Xiang Bei before disappearing in a flash, even faster than Thor before he comprehended his domain.

"Swish swish swish swish"

The four sharp horn-shaped knives were like a cold wind passing through a crack, piercing to the bone.

Xiang Bei's heart sank slightly. This person's speed was terrible, and his attack methods were even more cunning and ruthless, truly like a cold wind that could penetrate anywhere.

Xiang Bei fought him for a long time but was always on the defensive and could only try his best to defend, but he still couldn't avoid being injured by him.

He had knife wounds of varying depths on his shoulder, ribs, and outer thigh. The most dangerous one was when the ox-sword grazed Xiang Bei's neck, leaving a deep bloody mark.

"Fast and ubiquitous?"

"Then I won't leave you a single hole!" Xiang Bei roared inwardly, his battle halberd instantly transforming into a massive, overwhelming wave. He was like a meteorite crashing into the ocean, with wave after wave sweeping outwards.

In an instant, the waves surged and the giant waves rose to the sky!

The four-armed man had just appeared beside Xiang Bei when a halberd, carrying the force of a giant wave, slammed down upon him!

"Whoosh!"

Without any hesitation, the four-armed man immediately retreated!

However, Xiang Bei didn't even glance at him. His halberd surged like a raging river python, carrying endless waves that swept across the surrounding space.

"Bang bang bang"

The four-armed man approached several times, but each time he failed.
