Chapter 530: Chapter 329: Chopping Melons and Slicing Vegetables

While the spectators were engrossed in discussion, somewhere in World No. 13...

Li Wen had finally finished constructing the Primordial Spirit Secret Skill.

Within his sea of consciousness, his Primordial Spirit manifestation, which was over ten thousand zhang tall, was surrounded by countless light shields constructed from Wish Power. Divided into inner and outer layers, they spun rapidly around the manifestation.

Silvery runes flowed across the light shields, emitting fluctuations of the Time Law—

This was precisely the "Star Origin Barrier," a technique he had improved by combining Wish Power and the Time Law.

Its defensive strength was even greater than that of an ordinary Star Lord Level Primordial Spirit defensive Secret Technique.

’It’s been three days. Anyone who’s managed to survive this long should be pretty strong. Time to harvest some experience and points.’

Li Wen opened his tightly shut eyes.

With a thought, the Primordial Spirit manifestation in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly, as if responding to the battles in the outside world.

He then fully extended his divine sense, letting it sweep out like an invisible tide for a hundred li in every direction.

In this giant-tree world, where the gravity was stronger than on Alka Star, divine sense was compressed, but Li Wen’s Star Lord Level Primordial Spirit was still incomparably dominant.

Just as Li Wen was recklessly spreading his divine sense outward like a tidal wave, in a hidden cave several dozen li away, a woman with a lithe figure and a sharp aura abruptly opened her eyes.

She had precisely detected the spiritual fluctuation that swept past.

"Who’s so arrogant?!" she snarled, her entire body instantly tensing up.

After three days of brutal elimination and slaughter since the start of the competition, every Trial Taker still alive was either a seasoned veteran or exceptionally powerful.

For that very reason, an act like this—blatantly releasing one’s divine sense to scan a wide area—was undoubtedly a naked provocation.

It was tantamount to declaring war on every hidden hunter in the area.

’Hmph. Three days into the competition and they still dare to be so overconfident. They’re either a muddle-headed fool or someone who truly has the power to crush everyone else.’

Deep in a dense forest in another direction, a lurking figure was also startled by this divine sense.

He licked his lips, a cruel glint in his eyes. ’I hope you’re not the former. Otherwise, this hunt will be far too boring.’

His figure shifted, and without a moment’s hesitation, he began to stealthily advance toward Li Wen’s position at high speed.

"You’re courting death! Daring to expose your own position?!" In a third location, a red-haired man, who was catching his breath and recovering on the branch of a giant tree after just finishing a battle, was enraged by the passing scan.

Li Wen’s unrestrained divine scan made him feel as if his dignity had been trampled upon.

"ROAR!" With a low growl, crimson flames erupted around his body, and he transformed into a searing streak of light, hurtling toward the source of the divine scan with savage killing intent.

"Heh, interesting. So ostentatious. I’d like to see what kind of hotshot you are, and if you have the right to be so arrogant!" Further away, a man clad in heavy, earth-yellow battle armor, with an aura as steady as a mountain, sneered.

His current point ranking was already firmly within the top thousand in the giant-tree World No. 13, and he had been confidently searching for his next target.

Li Wen’s provocation successfully caught his attention. He changed direction and, with heavy yet swift steps, charged off with the rumbling power of the earth in his wake.

But when Li Wen’s divine sense swept over a swampy area, the reaction of a figure hiding within a mud bubble was completely different.

He felt no anger, no curiosity—only a bone-deep wariness and fear.

That divine sense made him instinctively feel a fatal threat.

’Flee!’ The thought had barely formed before he instantly concealed his entire aura without hesitation.

Like a drop of water merging into the ocean, he silently slipped away in the opposite direction from Li Wen.

...

Meanwhile, the sudden, multi-directional disturbances erupting with Li Wen at their center in the giant-tree World No. 13 were immediately and precisely captured by the intelligent lifeform monitoring system that covered the entire arena.

Almost at the exact moment Li Wen’s feed was switched to one of the one hundred massive spectator screens, the attention of countless spectators was drawn to it.

"Who is this guy? He’s the only one on the screen, and he isn’t even fighting."

"Why did the intelligent system suddenly switch to this feed? Is something special happening?"

"He looks so calm. It doesn’t seem like he’s in any danger."

On the screen, Li Wen’s expression was placid and still. He was simply standing in mid-air, his divine sense continuing to spread outward steadily.

He remained completely unaware of the countless eyes focused on him.

Then, a spectator from the Lain Empire carefully scrutinized the young but resolute face on the screen before leaping up from his seat, his voice cracking with excitement. "Li Wen! It’s Li Wen! He’s finally appeared!"

He immediately posted this discovery on the Lain Empire’s most popular platform.

The news spread like wildfire among the spectators from the Lain Empire.

In just a few breaths, every citizen of the Lain Empire focused on World No. 13 excitedly fixed their gazes on the screen showing Li Wen.

They held their breath, their hearts filled with a mix of anticipation and tension.

...

Back in the giant-tree world, Li Wen remained expressionless, his divine sense acting like a precise radar, scanning every rustle and movement within a hundred-li radius.

He clearly sensed several hostile auras rapidly approaching him.

When the four figures burst out from the dense forest at almost the same time and appeared in his field of vision, a silver glint quietly lit up in the depths of Li Wen’s eyes.

The "Absolute Focus" skill activated instantly!

Within his Dantian, the silver Time Dao Seed, which emitted profound fluctuations, suddenly erupted with brilliant light.

Invisible ripples spread out, slightly distorting the flow of time around him.

In that instant, the four arrivals completed their encirclement of Li Wen.
