Those who reincarnate must die.

In the conference room on the top floor of the central arena in the City of Competition, fifteen altar masters from twelve major races sat around a huge round table, with their respective attendants standing behind them.

Here, all the judges are recognized by the altar as staff members of the Supernova Tournament. Throughout the entire tournament, they are not allowed to attack or harm each other.

"Fifty-five people have passed the first stage of the mission." Tanka, representing the Shen tribe, looked at the mission settlement information: "That means, in order to fill the remaining sixty-four spots, the remaining two hundred and eighty-four people will have to compete for nine winners. A one-thirty survival rate."

"Isn't this normal for a hero?" The speaker was a burly, fanged member of the Hai tribe. "If you dare to participate in the Supernova Tournament, you should be prepared to die!"

"That's right!" Beside the Hai clan member sat a strange man with a loose-skinned face, short hair, and a black nose—a leader of the Xu clan. "To be blinded by those seemingly gentle mission rules and participate with a侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality), such a guy is destined to die on the battlefield sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, the other forum leaders all nodded in agreement.

"This is somewhat surprising..." The representative of the Wu tribe, a horse-faced man with red hair, looked at the list: "There's actually a five-star on the elimination list? Are all the five-stars of the Shen tribe this useless?"

"The first stage of the mission isn't about skill!" Sister Zhen, with her bouncy curls, scoffed. "Even if she gets eliminated, our five-star will definitely fight her way out of the revival round!"

The Yin Clan representative scratched his chin with a sharp claw: "Could it be that you, taking advantage of being the organizers, informed this guy of the mission rules in advance?"

"How could that be!" Tanka retorted. "Do you think the rules of the altar are vegetarian?"

"However, in a revival competition purely based on strength, this five-star is practically guaranteed a spot..." The speaker was the representative of the Chen Clan, a lithe figure with jet-black scales covering his body. Looking at Zhang Lang's avatar, he suddenly frowned and zoomed in: "Eh? This guy looks kind of familiar?"

As he spoke, he glanced at his attendants behind him: "Qingyu, look at this face, does it remind you of anything?"

Standing behind him was a member of the Chen clan with a ring of blue feathers around his head. He looked at him carefully, then shook his head: "I don't remember him."

"That's strange... Is it just my imagination?"

Just as everyone was discussing, a bright light suddenly shone above the round table in the conference room, followed by the appearance of a prompt from the altar:

"Phase 1.5 of the mission is complete, and the list of nine has been finalized!"

"What?" The judges present were all taken aback and looked at the time in disbelief.

One minute and fifteen seconds?

So fast? That was a life-or-death battle between hundreds of supernova heroes! It should have lasted at least several tens of minutes, if not several hours, right? How come it's over in just over a minute? Could it be because of that five-star?

The judges couldn't wait to pull up the list of those who advanced, and sure enough, the first one was none other than the five-star Hunter from the Shen Clan!

But the remaining eight people surprised everyone.

Six of them are from the Shen ethnic group!

That's right, it's those six reserve candidates who didn't meet the supernova standard and only made it through the assessment! Without the help of Shen Liangyue and the others, these reserve candidates would naturally have been eliminated. But how did they advance with their mediocre skills?

Could it be that it was thanks to the hunter's help?

This is a bit scary!

Frankly, in the eyes of the judges, ending a battle in just over a minute is certainly an impressive achievement, but not incomprehensible. After all, the Supernovas are the cream of the crop among rookie heroes, and to be rated five stars, their strength is at least comparable to that of a veteran Reincarnator… or even a leader of a lower-ranking race!

It's not surprising that such a master has a unique and unparalleled ultimate move; it's even possible that it's unprecedented and unmatched!

In a confined space, unleashing such a powerful attack could instantly kill dozens or even hundreds of people, leaving only a few strong individuals to survive. It's a possible scenario that the chosen survivors are confirmed.

But this hunter was clearly not like that! Not only did he end the battle in a very short time, but he also skillfully avoided all his own kind... Does he have such an ability?

Or……

Some people have considered an even more terrifying possibility.

He probably didn't use any special moves at all; he just took them down one by one...

No way... taking down hundreds of heroes one by one in a minute? Even if it were hundreds of pigs, killing them one by one per second, it would still take a while, right?

Compared to the astonishment of the other races, the representatives of the Shen tribe were the happiest. "Now that the final list has been determined, let the winners also come to the central arena!"

Although they didn't know how the hunter had managed it, the fact that everyone from the Shen clan had advanced was a cause for celebration. Several altar leaders couldn't help but smile, and Wang Defa, standing behind Sister Zhen, was secretly thrilled: "Brother Hunter, you truly didn't disappoint!"

Meanwhile, in the huge circular chamber, Zhang Lang stood in the center. Around him were mutilated alien corpses, their blood and entrails splattered all over the venue, yet not a single patch of his clothes was wet.

Not far from Zhang Lang, six members of the Shen clan kept a wary distance from him, seemingly wanting to get closer but also somewhat afraid.

Further out at the edge of the venue, two other survivors huddled against the wall, staring at him in terror. It seemed that without the wall, they would have retreated even further.

One of these two is someone Zhang Lang is "acquainted with," namely Ural, who tricked Shen Liangyue.

Although Zhang Lang had broken all his joints, they had been healed by the altar before the start of the 1.5 stage mission. When this guy first came in, he wanted to wreak havoc with his four-star strength, but after seeing Zhang Lang, he immediately gave up the idea and did his best to hide and avoid attacks, thus surviving.

As for the other one, she was a girl from the Mao ethnic group.

Although Maozu is one of the lower five families, they possess naturally exceptional agility. This girl, in particular, maximized her racial advantages, earning a three-star rating. During Zhang Lang's massacre, she relied on her extraordinary reflexes and teleportation abilities to survive the chaos.

Although she survived, she was still shaken. She knew she hadn't died because the monster hadn't targeted her; it had only dealt with the enemies it could find. In a one-on-one fight, she definitely wouldn't have lasted a second…
