But in the next moment, Ethan's gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to die... I'll help you on your way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum… Ding... ding... ding...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless tiny stars began to light up in the sky, one by one. Each star, upon igniting, emitted a faint beam of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each beam locked onto someone in Arena Three—everyone except Ethan and his companions. Dozens of dim beams converged on Iris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another cheap trick!\" Iris scoffed with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Descent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's skyward-pointing hand suddenly clenched into a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pulled it downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky trembled in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the countless stars flared brighter—then, one by one, they detached from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They plummeted toward the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone caught in the light beams felt as though an immense weight had pinned them in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is bad... I'm locked on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help! This isn't an illusion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was wrong! I want to leave the arena!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iris, you damn bitch! You tricked us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the arena floor, panic erupted. People suddenly realized they couldn't move. Agonized screams rang out from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instant death wasn't what terrified them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What shattered them was the helplessness—the sight of those monstrous celestial orbs descending upon them while they stood frozen in place, powerless to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slice, slice, slice...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the stars fell, those without sufficient strength were obliterated into clouds of bloody mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Iris couldn't move. That crushing pressure—there was no way it was fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing those around her reduced to gore and vapor… In that moment, she was filled with infinite regret for her arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Substitute Art Technique was unusable. Even if it weren't, her fingers wouldn't budge to activate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Daddy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris collapsed to her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan blinked in surprise. Did she just cry out for her father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on? She was kneeling... and facing his direction. For a moment, he genuinely wondered if he had a daughter that old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of motion tore through the air. A figure appeared in front of Iris. With a wave of his hand, an Arcane Scroll materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! A creature depicted on the scroll shimmered—and burst forth. A strange being materialized before the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Croak...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature opened its massive maw like a world-devouring beast. It intercepted the falling stars mid-descent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderous explosions echoed from deep inside the creature's gaping mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the final orb exploded did Ethan finally see what the creature was—an enormous salamander. But now, blood dripped from its mouth, and its bloodshot eyes locked on Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That stare made Ethan's skin crawl. It was the first time he'd ever felt such fear in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of monster was this? And what kind of man could control it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one answer. This man had to be the head of the Hargrove family. Could a family patriarch really be this powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Iris was saved—along with all the remaining people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the moon vanished, the darkened sky gradually returned to their original brightness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Iris... do you understand your mistake?\" the man asked, his head lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Daddy! Kill him, quickly!\" Iris sobbed, grabbing the man's leg and pointing at Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Hargrove, head of the Hargrove family, frowned. He shook his leg free from her grip and said coldly, \"Iris, you're arrogant and incorrigible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's my fault for spoiling you. This is the last time I'll save you. You're on your own from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Ethan and gave a respectful bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Ethan—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Ethan waved his hand. \"Mr. Hargrove, please... just take her away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory bowed again, then turned to the elevated platform where the Noble Eight families sat and announced, \"The Hargrove family withdraws from this competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, his Arcane Scroll flashed once more. It reclaimed the giant salamander, along with Iris, who was still kneeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his figure blurred and vanished—not to reappear on the elevated platform. No one knew where he'd gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan stared at the spot where Gregory had stood. 'That's how a father should be…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his daughter's sake, Gregory had broken the tournament rules and intervened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd even given up the Hargrove family's chance at winning the Energy Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ethan's expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about Lyla's father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had he ever done for his daughter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting those thoughts aside, Ethan scanned the arena. At this point, apart from Markham and the other six, no one else remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight smile appeared on his face as he walked toward them. But instead of the warm welcome he expected, he found everyone gathered around Ryan with solemn expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Ethan asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ethan... something's not right,\" Ryan said weakly, looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan tensed. His questioning gaze swept across the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham furrowed his brow. \"There's... not a single trace of blood on the arena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan whirled around. Markham was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many had died on this battlefield—yet not a single drop of blood remained. Even the fallen bodies had completely vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a formation... a blood-absorbing formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan, crouched on the ground, had at some point cut his finger. When he touched the arena floor, they saw his blood flow out rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mere seconds, that finger turned pale white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what happened when all the blood was drained away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned by the discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby and Ryan—both highly knowledgeable in magical formations—exchanged glances. Each saw the same shock mirrored in the other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In previous tournaments... were they always this brutal?\" Ethan asked suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the Noble Eight families all shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham said, \"I've heard that in the past, only disciples of the Noble Eight families competed, and they were required to stop short of serious injury.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had the same thought: Was the new 'life and death are inconsequential' rule related to the formation beneath their feet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the Silverwood family plotting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ethan remembered his encounter with LongerThanLuffy —Emery in Ethereal. Emery had mentioned that Liam Silverwood was secretly purchasing vast quantities of formation materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan lowered his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found out the Silverwood family has been buying up a lot of formation materials—specifically...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listing them all, he turned to Bobby and Ryan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell what kind of formation they're trying to build?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These materials are fairly common,\" Ryan said. \"They could be used in hundreds—thousands—of different formations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group fell silent, they were out of leads.\u003C\u002Fp>",1117,"2026-06-02T11:41:20.826Z",1,"novelbin.me","f849a2cac90024c4fb8a7f9a3fc435f828d639fac7d21141ee2daeb182578b26","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-356","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-302",946,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flevel-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-cover.jpg"]
