High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 748 - 386: Nine Great Divine Races, Leaving the Team

In that instant, realization struck him.

On the Barbaric Dragon Star, heavenly talents stand apart from extraordinary geniuses in both cultivation and tower challenges, seemingly detached from the mortal world.

This must be a measure of last resort.

Should they truly compete side by side, the luck of everyone else would undoubtedly get siphoned away by those heavenly talents.

"Even this occurs by mere chance." Jiang Ye pondered silently, "Were they to deliberately unleash ’Qi Fortune Stealing,’ it would prove utterly impeccable."

"Evidently,"

"it’s wiser to steer clear of clashes with heavenly talents." Jiang Ye resolved within his mind.

Fear held no place in his heart, yet he preferred not to reveal his hidden aces prematurely.

…

Moments flew by.

Thirty minutes later.

"Welcome to the United War Platform."

A grand voice boomed, echoing across the boundless void: "Geniuses of the Huanglong Hundred Stars, behold the United War Center, with the Star Domain Battlefield sprawling right below you."

As the proclamation rang out.

"Whoosh~" Radiant light erupted from the platform underfoot, rendering it fully transparent.

It was then that Jiang Ye beheld the colossal, boundless continent hovering beneath the platform.

Labeling it a mere continent falls short; its immensity knew no bounds, dotted with shattered planetary fragments, stretching across innumerable light-years.

Yet the United War Platform loomed far above.

From this vantage, it resembled a stellar ocean, perceived as a sprawling ’continent.’

Right then, the majestic voice resounded once more:

"Plunge into the Star Domain Battlefield, slay the mightiest of the Exotic Realm Civilization, and claim Huanglong Merit."

"Likewise, swiftly report any major opportunity intel, and reap bountiful Huanglong Merit!"

"Within the Star Domain Battlefield, survival hangs by a thread." The grand voice declared, "Feel free to band together and brave the perils."

With those words concluded.

The vast United War Platform erupted in clamor.

This enormous platform hosted far more than just Jiang Ye’s group; elites from across the Huanglong Hundred Stars converged here.

Before long, countless elite prodigies shot skyward.

"I’m Qin Cang, leader from Black Dragon Star; masters of three mysteries, join my Black Dragon Team—we’ll face life and death as one!" A young man in dark armor bellowed like thunder, four-hued glows enveloping him, radiating overwhelming presence.

Moments later, a clear feminine voice chimed: "I’m Su Qingyao of Hundred Flowers Star! Our squad excels in healing and arrays, but we need heavy hitters; join us for priority on opportunities."

A lady in pristine white clutched a jade flute, four-colored lights dancing around her—a true prodigy versed in four fundamental mysteries.

In an instant, team captains announced themselves.

Most commanded over four mysteries, their presences overwhelmingly potent.

"Truly a congregation of prodigies." Jiang Ye observed the spectacle in silence.

He understood well that flaunting four mysteries didn’t reveal their full arsenal; secrets likely remained concealed.

No prodigy would bare their ultimate cards.

The gap between five and four mysteries was like night and day.

At that moment.

"Huanglong Star, Bai Mu." A serene voice emerged, utterly composed, yet it drowned out every other sound.

Silence blanketed the United War Platform.

All eyes turned toward it.

There sat a striking youth in white armor, legs crossed mid-air, silver lashes framing eyes, his aura barely perceptible.

"That’s Bai Mu from Huanglong Main Star?"

"Rumored as the pinnacle extraordinary genius of his generation there."

"Bai Mu hails from the Bai clan, among Huanglong’s nine Great Divine Races—naturally peerless. Word is his five basic mysteries have hit Eight Breaks, and he’s merely at Sixth Break himself."

"Can he already rival those ancient century-old freaks?" Whispers buzzed, most geniuses gazing with awe.

To reach this stage, each was a one-in-a-million talent.

Yet even they paled before Huanglong Main Star’s apex prodigies.

Suddenly, Bai Mu uttered:

"Bai clan descendants, team up with me." Bai Mu stated calmly, his voice mild yet laced with unyielding command.

Disappointment flickered across many geniuses’ faces.

The Bai clan!

One of Huanglong’s nine Great Divine Races. As a divine lineage, its scions scattered across the Hundred Stars.

Of course.

Direct lineage resided on Huanglong Main Star, while Hundred Stars branches held lesser status.

Bai Mu’s declaration evidently embraced branch kin too.

Instantly, numerous talents stepped forward, abandoning prior teams for this superior one.

Bai Mu’s fame preceded him!

Over by Jiang Ye.

He watched with keen interest when a melodious voice approached: "Wang Ye, I intend to join Bai Mu’s team, apologies."

"Bai Xi? You’re quitting our team?" Zi Yaozhi jumped in before Jiang Ye could respond, shock evident on his face.

"I’m a Bai clan descendant." Bai Xi replied with regret, though resolve shone in her gaze.

"Teams are all set, and you bail now..." Zi Yaozhi furrowed his brow slightly.

The unspoken message hung clear.

Bai Xi grasped it too. She paused briefly before saying, "I’ll speak to Bai Mu; perhaps he’ll let you and Wang Ye in."

"And the rest?" Zi Yaozhi pressed, brow creased.

Bai Xi fell quiet, then shook her head, "Sorry, my father commanded that if I meet Bai clan direct lineage, I must join them."

"No need for further words."
