On the arena, Ender turned his head to look at the other match.
He noticed that on the adjacent arena, Manle's corpse had vanished without a trace, meaning Kedi had naturally won a while ago.
Swish!
The next moment, both of them were teleported out of the arena.
At the same time, a light screen appeared in the sky, showing the points ranking of the five participants in the Reincarnation Battle.
Topping the points ranking was Kedi, with one point. Next was Ender, also with one point.
However, because he defeated his opponent first, Kedi temporarily ranked first in the event of a tie in points.
Following that was 'Fei', who had a bye and did not participate in a match, ranking third. Fourth and fifth were Nuno and Manle, respectively.
...
After a short rest, the second round began.
The two matchups in this round were Ender VS Manle, and Fei VS Nuno, with Kedi having a bye.
Manle was a powerful opponent, skilled in the Laws of Earth and Fire Origin. His offensive and defensive methods were both excellent, but his weakness was his movement technique.
Precisely because of his poor movement technique, Manle was trapped by Ender's Endless Vine, which compressed the space, eventually crushing him to death.
In the other match, Nuno's Soul defense was already a weak point, and facing Fei, an Illusionist specializing in Soul attacks, he instantly collapsed and died on the spot.
After the second round of matches, Ender currently ranked first with two points, with Fei and Kedi closely following with one point each.
...
After another period of rest, the third round began.
This round was called the 'Second Place Deciding Battle' by the Immortals and the eliminated Geniuses.
Because the two matchups were Ender VS Fei, and Kedi VS Nuno!
If Ender won this round, his points would reach three, and even if he lost to Kedi in the end, he would still secure second place.
If 'Fei' won, her points would be two, and she would only need to defeat Manle to secure second place.
...
"Haha, it's finally here!"
"That's right, the Second Place Deciding Battle, whoever wins will be second."
"Who do you think will win?"
"Ender."
"Ender."
"Fei."
"Ender."
One by one, the Immortals expressed their opinions, with the majority favoring Ender's victory.
...
On the arena covered by a black silk net.
Stepping on a fourth-tier Spirit Weapon, Ender gazed at 'Fei', the beautiful fox-human woman on the other side of the arena. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin like snow, and her attire, though not revealing, still made one's imagination run wild.
Especially the pair of fluffy white fox ears on her head, which added a touch of charm.
Observing 'Fei' closely, Ender had to admit she was an absolute beauty, but his heart was as firm as a blade, focused solely on resurrecting his elder brother and extending his family's lifespan, and women would only hinder his growth rate!
As Ender gazed at 'Fei', her eyes glowed slightly, and an invisible Spiritual Force invaded his brain.
Within his vast and boundless Sea of Consciousness, a gigantic black eye slowly rotated, enveloping the entire Sea of Consciousness. This black eye was constructed from countless curved lines, and its center was the Origin of all lines, as well as the location of the Life Core.
'Fei''s invisible Spiritual Force, after invading Ender's Sea of Consciousness, did not attack the Eye of Distortion but permeated into some of its lines.
Soul defense secret techniques are formed by Spiritual Force arranged in a specific, incredibly precise order; essentially, they are still Spiritual Force.
And Spiritual Force contains a trace of consciousness.
The Soul, in reality, is a collection of countless Spiritual Power.
Therefore, when 'Fei''s Spiritual Force permeated those lines, Ender fell into an Illusion.
...
In a bustling city, Ender stood on a busy street, looking around in a daze, unsure where he was, what he was supposed to do, or where he was going.
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice sounded in his ear.
"Ender, you've finally Broken through to the Stellar Rank."
A gentle and beautiful woman stepped forward, naturally taking Ender's hand, and said happily, "My parents have finally agreed, but they want to meet you now."
"Meet me?" Ender asked, puzzled, "What for?"
"To discuss our marriage, of course." The woman said, "What else?"
"Marriage?"
"Yes." The woman exhorted, "When you meet my parents, you must perform well. Whether we can marry depends on today!"
"Marry?" Ender was again puzzled.
"That's right." The woman yearned, "After we marry, we'll be family."
"Family?" Hearing this word, Ender's expression changed.
"Family."
"Family!"
He muttered, his tone gradually becoming solemn.
"Family!" Ender said with a determined look, "I have family! And..."
In the azure sky, a black arc slowly materialized from nothingness.
Below, in the bustling city, people looked at the black arc appearing in the sky, terrified!
In the sky, with the appearance of the first black arc, a second, a third... soon, countless black arcs appeared and began to slowly rotate.
Finally!
Countless black arcs formed a distorted eye, and this black distorted eye also rotated slowly.
With the appearance of that black distorted eye, all the buildings and people in the bustling city began to show faint cracks.
Crack, crack, crack...
Cracking sounds echoed, and the cracks grew longer and larger!
Ender looked at the woman beside him, who was covered in cracks, lifeless, her face still filled with terror.
Extending a finger, he lightly touched the woman's forehead, and with a "bang," she shattered into countless fragments.
Bang, bang, bang...
As the woman turned into countless fragments, as if the first domino had been pushed, the entire city, with him at its center, began to turn into countless fragments.
"I remember now." Amidst the countless fragments, Ender murmured, "I'm on the arena of the Pinnacle Genius Battle!"
He looked up at the slowly rotating black eye in the sky and shouted, "Eye of Distortion!"
In the sky, the Eye of Distortion rotated at extreme speed!
...
On the arena, flying in the air on his Spirit Weapon, Ender's eyes seemed to contain a rotating black eye. The next moment, he regained consciousness.
Clang, clang, clang!
With a thought, the fourth-tier Spirit Weapon beneath his feet quickly combined, forming three shields in front of him, protecting his entire body!
Clang!
A cone-shaped Spirit Weapon struck, impacting the shields.
"How is this possible!"
'Fei' on the other side of the arena was shocked. "Anyone who sees my face will unknowingly fall under my 'God-Bewitching Art.' How did he wake up so quickly!"
She had seen Ender's information; he had only Cultivated for a hundred years. Even if he had a decent Soul defense secret technique, his will was ultimately a weakness.
Moreover, being young meant being easily charmed by women, and her 'God-Bewitching Art' specialized in the Dao of Charm.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Nine streams of green light flew out from the Green Vine Pillar behind Ender, striking towards 'Fei' on the other side of the arena.
"I lost!" Biting her lip lightly, Fei urged her Spirit Weapon to defend.
But she was an Illusionist, and her abilities as a Controller were much weaker. Facing the attack of the nine green light streams, she only managed to resist for two difficult seconds before her Spirit Weapon defense was broken through, and then she died on the spot!
