This is Swallowed Star, not Resident Evil.

Chapter 35 Making an Example of Someone Else: The Ultimate Showdown

The convening of the Global Martial Arts Exchange Conference has undoubtedly attracted worldwide attention.

After all, these genetically engineered warriors are now the main force fighting monsters and protecting humanity's home.

The Blood Demon Sky Wolf, which possessed the ability to fly and was extremely powerful and formidable, and for which no weapon could be effective, was also killed by Ye Yang, the world's strongest man!

Of course, Ye Yang publicly stated that he and Thor jointly killed him, but Thor also publicly stated that Ye Yang saved his life in that battle, thus attributing the credit to Ye Yang.

The martial arts exchange conference began with Ye Yang giving an opening speech, explaining the many secrets and precautions of cultivating gene energy.

The cultivation of 'domains' was also briefly introduced.

Then it's Thor, who will explain and demonstrate his martial arts.

After that, one after another, globally recognized masters took to the stage. These people had all registered in advance, and the Martial Arts Association had confirmed their identities and strengths.

As the saying goes, there is no first place in literature, but there is a second place in martial arts.

Just talking isn't enough; a true martial arts exchange requires a few real fights!

So after the discussion, a series of brief but meaningful exchanges began.

The Martial Arts Exchange Tournament is not the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament; it is for exchanging martial arts techniques, not for competing to be the world's number one.

Therefore, no death penalty is signed in this competition, and those who go on stage must hold back their strength.

After all, this is still a critical period for humanity in its fight against monsters. The first king-level monster has already appeared, and the second one won't be far behind.

Among the martial artists gathered here, there are countless future planetary-level beings.

The death of even one or two people is a huge loss to humanity.

Of course, a few scumbags are an exception.

……

"Senior! Senior..."

A young man suddenly rushed into the venue, approached Yan Hai, a famous martial artist from Lingnan Base City known as a seventh-level martial artist, and said in a low, heavy voice, "I...I've gotten into trouble."

"What's wrong, little vulture?" Yan Hai asked with a smile as he looked at the boy in front of him.

He adored this boy, who was very obedient and suited his taste perfectly, so he treated him almost like a son.

The boy developed an extremely self-centered, cold, and withdrawn personality because his family was killed by a weak monster that mutated by chance three years ago, and his family property was also taken away by his relatives.

But deep down, he harbors a cruel and violent streak that will surface with the slightest provocation.

Therefore, it is quite rare to see the boy with such a bewildered expression.

"I...I accidentally killed that girl," the boy said sadly.

"I really like her," the boy added.

Yan Hai was initially surprised. This kid had killed people under his orders before, so why was he so flustered?

Then he laughed; it turned out he was feeling sorry for her.

This guy seems carefree, but he actually craves affection. It seems he really likes that girl.

"It's alright, don't go out to play for now, just stay by my side. After all, this isn't our territory," Yan Hai comforted him. "We'll go back after the conference, and I'll find you a few more women to play with."

……

The conference lasted for three days. Finally, a young man in black, holding a long gun, stood on the stage.

"Who is that?"

"I don't know him."

"I know his name is 'Hong'. He established a 'Hongning Base' in western Asia with a group of survivors, which gathered a large number of refugees."

How strong are they?

"At least level nine, with a record of consecutively killing two level nine monsters, he is very likely at the peak of level nine."

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Sudden……

"Crazy Lei, come down for a fight!"

To everyone's astonishment, the black-clad youth, Hong, actually shouted loudly at the planetary-level powerhouse Thor in the distance.

"Huh? What is he saying?"

"Is this guy insane? He actually dares to challenge a planetary-level powerhouse!"

"According to what President Ye said before, the difference in physical strength between a peak ninth-tier martial artist and a planetary-level martial artist is four times. However, planetary-level martial artists can release their genetic energy externally, so it needs to be doubled, making it eight times!"

"At least an eight-fold difference in base strength, and Thor's stacked power is also extremely outrageous, reaching an unbelievable 6.3 times the strength!"

"If this 'Hong' doesn't have the technique of stacking force, the gap between the two sides will reach an astonishing 50 times! My God, this despair-inducing gap, is he an idiot? Or didn't he listen carefully just now and doesn't understand the difference between the two sides?"

"Although this is just a friendly sparring session, and both sides will hold back their strength, holding back by one-fiftieth of your strength is unacceptable!"

"It's like an adult sparring with a baby; they can't play freely and it's extremely uncomfortable. So for a ninth-level martial artist to challenge a powerhouse like Thor is simply an insult! Only a second-level planetary being like Ye Yang is on par with Thor."

The martial artists, from various countries and regions, all displayed different expressions.

Some people sneered and mocked, some watched the show silently, and some shook their heads in helplessness.

However, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

"Haha! Brother Hong, you can't beat me now."

Thor flew out and landed in the arena, greeting the young man in black in a very friendly manner.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the two began to spar.

Thor gently swung his sword, while Hong flicked his spear.

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts see the details, and a master's skill is immediately apparent.

With just a single starting stance, the two individuals and their weapons became one, creating a unique artistic conception.

"Hiss~"

"Who was this Hong before? How could he possess such profound martial arts skills!"

"At the level of artistic conception, absolutely at the level of artistic conception! And he has also achieved the highest realm of perfect harmony between man and weapon! In the past, he would have been called a grandmaster of martial arts!"

"My God, to have such martial arts skills at such a young age... I can't believe it."

Several martial artists with considerable expertise in ancient Chinese martial arts gasped in surprise; this young man was truly something special.

However, only a few people understand the intricacies of it; most martial artists with different perspectives are those who have emerged in the new era.

Although many people have noticed the exquisite aspects of traditional Chinese martial arts, in order to achieve quick results, they practice techniques such as military boxing and modern combat techniques.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of spectators, the two finally moved.

A slash, a spear thrust—the atmosphere shifts, lightning flashes, and even the light seems to distort.

Those who don't understand will find it very distressing to watch, as if they themselves are caught between swords and spears, being repeatedly crushed.

Even those who could understand it broke out in a cold sweat and were terrified.

Only Ye Yang, sitting in the main seat, remained calm and observed the situation.

His divine soul is powerful and his comprehension is astonishing; he reached this level as early as 18 years of cultivation education in the Immortal Alliance.

In the college entrance examination's magical contest, there were 53 Foundation Establishment stage candidates on the entire Ling Shu Star, yet he won six consecutive matches to claim first place.

"Among the two, Hong has already reached the pinnacle of artistic conception, and is probably only one step away from the 'Domain'. However, if he were born in the Immortal Alliance, the next step would not be to possess a Domain, but to condense a trace of 'Dao Intent' on his own without the help of a Dao Seed."

Ye Yang thought to himself, but he also knew that it was far more difficult to condense Dao intent on one's own than to comprehend a domain on one's own.

Continue to enjoy this epic clash of styles between Thor and Hong:

"Thor suppressed his basic power to the same level as Hong, but was still overwhelmed by Hong. He had no choice but to use the Seventh Layer of Thunder Blade to barely manage a draw. Only by using the Eighth Layer of Thunder Blade could he gain a slight advantage, but even that advantage was not significant."

"Hong... well, limited by his own physical condition, he just can't take that final step in comprehending the 'domain'."

"Perhaps he realized this, which is why he wanted to fight Thor, who had already reached the planetary level, to force out his own potential and thus reach a realm beyond the realm of intent?"
