High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 1118 - 511: Champion! Truly Extraordinary? (Double-Length)

"Who actually won?"

"I can’t see clearly! That power was too terrifying, we can’t see what’s happening inside the battlefield at all!"

"It must be Lei Hao. He’s got a Heaven’s Chosen Domain blessing him, his innate divine ability’s power has skyrocketed, Jiang Ye can’t possibly win."

"Not necessarily! Jiang Ye’s strength is way too monstrous, maybe he can pull off a miracle!" Countless voices of discussion echoed through the Starry Sky, all laced with tension and anticipation.

High above the void, all the Venerables focused their minds and watched, their expressions grim to the extreme.

Even that tiny figure from the Celestial Jade Venerable and the Caikun Civilization had their gaze locked firmly on the center of the battlefield, the aura around them rippling slightly.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

A short while later, the terrifying energy created by the collision gradually dissipated.

The scene of the battlefield slowly unfolded before the eyes of the trillions of spectators.

At the center of the battlefield, a figure stood tall where he was, black clothes fluttering, long spear slanted down.

Starlight flowed around him; though a bit dim, he still stood as straight as a pine. In his eyes, the battle intent had yet to fade, his sharp edge only growing stronger.

It was Jiang Ye!

He was completely unscathed; not even the corner of his clothes had a speck of dust on it!

On the other side, more than half of Lei Hao’s body had exploded, and he lay collapsed in a deep crater, barely clinging to life.

That Thunder God Dharma Aspect had long since collapsed, the three-colored radiance dim and dull; he couldn’t even maintain his Thunder God Body... even the giant thunder hammer had snapped into two, scattered by his side, the lightning patterns on the hammer all extinguished.

The entire arena fell silent.

Everyone was stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

Won?

Jiang Ye won?

That Extraordinary Talent whom everyone thought was doomed to defeat actually beat Lei Hao, who possessed a Heaven’s Chosen Domain and a greatly boosted innate divine ability?

The deathly silence lasted for a full three breaths.

A moment later, a majestic voice resounded between heaven and earth:

[In the third bout, Jiang Ye is victorious!]

[Champion of this Hundred-Star Divine War—Jiang Ye!]

As the voice fell, the entire White Dragon Star System Group completely erupted.

"What?!"

"Lei Hao actually lost? How is that possible?"

"He won! Jiang Ye won."

"Champion! Jiang Ye of the Huanglong Civilization has taken the Hundred-Star Divine War championship."

"Three Great Laws vs. Three Great Laws, and in the end Jiang Ye still came out just a cut above!"

"The Huanglong Civilization is about to rise!" The cheers, screams, and exclamations of trillions of spectators converged into a colossal wave of sound, sweeping across the entire Starry Sky.

The Huanglong Civilization’s main star was thrown into utter madness.

Countless beings shouted at the top of their lungs, their eyes full of excitement.

"Divine Son Jiang Ye!"

"Long live Divine Son Jiang Ye!"

"The Huanglong Civilization has risen!"

"The Hundred-Star Divine War champion belongs to our Huanglong Civilization." Countless Huanglong powerhouses swung their arms wildly, all overflowing with ecstasy.

The cheers spread to every corner of the Huanglong Civilization, and the joyful atmosphere infected every living being.

In the Royal Family’s ancestral land, Wang Zilu’s beautiful eyes glittered with light.

"He really did it."

"The Hundred-Star Divine War, the champion..." The girl’s peach-blossom eyes were filled with joy, and also a faint, hard-to-detect complexity.

That figure would from now on be branded deep into her heart, never to fade.

...

High above the void.

On the Caikun Civilization’s side, all the Venerables let out a long breath, joyful smiles appearing on their faces one after another.

"He won, Jiang Ye actually won."

"It’s truly unbelievable." The Heavenly Demon Venerable sighed endlessly, even a bit excited: "This kid Jiang Ye, his potential really is unfathomable!"

Back when Bingli was crushed by Lei Hao.

The few Venerables had almost all concluded that this year’s championship would fall into the hands of the Celestial Battle Civilization’s camp.

Who could have imagined that Jiang Ye would be able to create such a miracle?

The Celestial Jade Venerable’s eyes were full of admiration; she couldn’t help but say, "Bai Qiong, you really picked up a treasure! The Huanglong Civilization is going to rise for real this time."

"Congratulations, Venerable Bai! Congratulations to the Huanglong Civilization!"

"Congratulations, Venerable Bai. To have such a peerless Heaven’s Chosen under your command—our Cai Kun camp has gained yet another fierce general!"

"With an Extraordinary body, he defeated the Heaven’s Chosen Talent Lei Hao—what a feat."

The Venerables all gathered around, offering their congratulations to Venerable Bai, their tones full of envy.

"Hahaha."

"You all flatter me, this is all Jiang Ye’s own hard work." Venerable Bai let out a hearty laugh, his eyes full of pride.

He truly was proud.

The championship of the Hundred-Star Divine War—such an honor was an extremely rare achievement even for a Venerable.

Only Venerable "Han Xiao" had a complicated expression.

"This kid..."

"Is indeed extraordinary." Venerable "Han Xiao" sighed inwardly.

There was no longer any of his former indifference or contempt in his tone.

He had once asserted that Jiang Ye would have trouble even entering the top three, and was certain that Bingli would firmly suppress Jiang Ye. But now, those words were like a slap landing hard on his own face.

Though the other Venerables didn’t bring it up, he still felt a faint sense of embarrassment.

"I misjudged."

Venerable "Han Xiao" murmured softly to himself, his heart full of mixed feelings.

As a Venerable who had roamed the Starry Sky for thousands of years, there were very, very few geniuses that could make him misjudge.

Jiang Ye had clearly now joined their ranks.

...

Compared to the relatively relaxed atmosphere in the Caikun Civilization’s camp.

Over in the Celestial Battle Civilization’s camp, the mood was the complete opposite—stifling to the extreme.

The faces of all the Venerables were dark as iron, and they remained silent, the air thick with a heavy sense of defeat.

"We lost."

"Lei Hao actually lost?" Venerable "Thunderstorm" stared at the projected image, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How could Lei Hao lose!?

He had a Heaven’s Chosen Domain, the Three Great Laws, a Thunder God Body, and even a cultivation close to Demigod Perfection, yet he lost to an Extraordinary Talent who had barely just reached the Peak of Demigod?

"How is this possible!" Venerable "Thunderstorm"’s face was dark to a terrifying degree.

Lei Hao was his prized disciple, the successor upon whom he had pinned great hopes, and the hope of the Celestial Battle camp.

Now that Lei Hao had suffered such a crushing defeat, he hadn’t just disgraced the entire Celestial Battle camp; he had also turned years of his painstaking effort into dust.
