Chapter 55: Decisive Battle Space

In the center of the Killing Field's main hall, an elderly man with green skin and a face full of wrinkles squinted his eyes while sitting on a chair, occasionally sipping the drink in his cup.

He should be the chief overseer of the Heilongshan Island Killing Field branch—Cang Bo Manluo, an Immortal Level strongman.

The Killing Field belongs to the Virtual Universe Company; besides providing PvP services, it is also a place for them to select talent. And Manluo has that duty.

Xiao Yu glanced at Cang Bo Manluo, then averted his gaze; even a single look can be sensed from a strongman like that.

He walked straight toward the corridor, and as he walked, the surrounding space suddenly shifted dramatically.

Before him lay an open expanse, a starry environment dotted with starlight.

Xiao Yu stood on a small meteor, and a golden book appeared in his hand, detailing the rules for using the Killing Space.

The Killing Space of the Killing Field has two uses.

The first allows you to select a specific opponent for battle, for example, to fight a thousand Lei Shen.

The second lets you configure an opponent—physical condition, Spiritual Mind power, consciousness, known techniques, weapons, and even combat experience can be set at will.

Third, the Killing Space can serve as a teacher, setting the target's desired cultivation methods and techniques for them to experience learning during combat.

Within the Killing Space it's essentially a single‑player game; additionally, the Killing Field also has a Decisive Battle Space, the true arena where warriors duel each other.

Xiao Yu was the first to try combat inside the Killing Space.

"Wu, set the battle space to an asteroid belt, weapon Sky Thunder Blade, Tier‑3 Force Armor, opponent as one hundred Stellar-level First Tier opponents; opponent's weapon and Force Armor, you may decide," Xiao Yu instructed.

"The request has been sent," Wu replied.

The Killing Space changed instantly; the surroundings fell utterly silent as countless asteroids of varying sizes sped through—some several kilometers across, others mere rocks.

Their speeds also differed: the fast ones at thirty‑to‑forty kilometers per second, the slower only a little over ten kilometers per second.

Xiao Yu wielded the Sky Thunder Blade in both hands, wore a blue‑purple Force Armor, and the asteroid beneath his feet was about the size of a basketball court, irregular, its surface black and red.

Swish! Swish!

On the surrounding asteroids, a hundred humanoid figures appeared, each at Stellar-level First Tier caliber.

"Kill!" As soon as the hundred figures emerged, they surged toward Xiao Yu at the center.

"Good timing!" Xiao Yu's speed surged.

In this cosmic void, without air resistance, speed ramps up quickly.

In a flash, a micro‑galaxy pulsed within his body while his legs thrust powerfully; the asteroid he stood on shattered from the center. His body instantly moved beside a figure, his battle sword flashing with lightning as it pierced the silhouette.

In almost an instant, a figure vanished.

Xiao Yu's twin blades acted like a reaper, each swing killing a target.

Within moments, all one hundred Stellar-level First Tier warriors were slain.

The first time, he set a hundred Stellar-level First Tier warriors.

The second time, one versus a thousand Stellar-level First Tier warriors; Xiao Yu killed the thousand opponents, sustaining only minor injuries.

The third time, one versus a thousand Stellar-level First Tier Spiritual Mind Masters; Xiao Yu killed nine hundred opponents, but suffered fatal injuries.

The fourth time, against an opponent whose physical condition, cultivation secret, Domain, amplitude, and gene multiplier were identical to his; despite being gravely wounded, Xiao Yu barely managed to kill the opponent.

After three days and three nights of continuous battles, recalling the previous fights, Xiao Yu felt fatigue yet also great benefit; his combat awareness, techniques, even instincts had improved.

"Let's go, Wu," Xiao Yu said, temporarily ending his training in the Killing Space.

Back in the hall, Xiao Yu ordered some tea drinks and was sipping them when, during his break, a huge red‑skinned man as large as a bear approached.

"Hello, Ouliko."

"Hello, Xiao Yu."

After briefly introducing themselves, they sat down and chatted casually. The Killing Field's hall not only offers a leisure spot for many warriors but also serves as a venue for elites to meet.

Through conversation, Xiao Yu learned that the red‑skinned Ouliko had already reached the peak of Stellar-level Ninth Tier.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yu was nearly rested.

"Ouliko, excuse me, I'm heading to the Decisive Battle Space to take a look," Xiao Yu said.

"Alright, you are currently Stellar-level First Tier, so you can only challenge opponents of the same tier for now," Ouliko replied.

Inside the Decisive Battle Space, everyone may adopt a nickname instead of their real name; Xiao Yu named himself "Wu Blade".

Just a casual choice, no special meaning.

A screen materialized before Xiao Yu, displaying numerous opponents' strength profiles; to fight, one must send a request and have the opponent accept.

Each opponent has a strength rating; the Killing Field's rating system ranges from one to nine stars. Nine‑star strongmen possess Permission to set a minimum star level for challengers.

Xiao Yu was self‑aware; he currently has no record and not even a star rating, so even if he challenged higher‑star opponents, they would refuse. Fortunately, he found a one‑star opponent who claimed to be the number one under heaven and sent a challenge request.

That person's record: 53 wins, 1,563 losses—truly relentless.

"Your challenge is approved."

"Transporting to Decisive Battle Space," the Virtual Universe System prompted on Xiao Yu's screen.

Xiao Yu's first challenge succeeded.

Decisive Battle Space.

On an immeasurably vast grassland stood a black metal arena, roughly ten kilometers long and ten kilometers wide.

A tall, lanky blue‑skinned hip‑hop man, bearing a long sword, stood on the arena and continuously narrated: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time I'm facing a newcomer called Wu Blade. He's definitely a rookie; rest assured, we'll instantly kill him, and there won't be a repeat of the previous fiasco. As the saying goes, once is enough, twice is too much, never thrice."

Xiao Yu listened, realizing that the so‑called number‑one under heaven opposite him was actually...

From his tone, he had lost two consecutive matches earlier.

"Hello, Wu Blade," Xiao Yu greeted politely.

"Friends, this newcomer is polite enough to greet first; today I'll teach him the rules of the Decisive Battle Space," the blue‑skinned man said, and his aura instantly shifted, shedding the previous hip‑hop vibe.

The blue‑skinned man surged toward Xiao Yu at nearly a hundred times the speed of sound; the air detonated, and Xiao Yu was flung behind him.

Xiao Yu hovered in the air, slowly raising his battle sword.
