All the participants raised their hands and touched the number in front of them.
The scene in front of them changed, and all 434 of them suddenly appeared inside the arena.
Each arena holds two people, dividing all competitors equally into pairs.
With the exception of the academy leaders who remained seated at the highest peak, every competitor faced off against an opponent.
The loud voice came out again. The one who kills his opponent first is the winner.
All the spectators stared excitedly at the rows of arenas scattered across the plains.
There were peerless Area Masters, members of the soul hunting team, hidden experts, and ancient geniuses here, but everything would be fully revealed in this arena.
At this point, no one could hide their strength anymore. This was the most dazzling stage in the entire universe.
With a loud explosion, 217 arenas shook as the battle began. On the screen, everyone could see the arena they wanted.
The fights started quickly, and some ended quickly, because the difference between some competitors was too great.
In the trial zone, each student had an academy number marked on the back of their hand.
Ma Ruo felt his luck was incredible as he actually met Astral-10 Melder for his first round.
He was obviously a new recruit from the academy, but his appearance was rather frightening.
There are many strange people in the universe, but that doesn't mean they are strong.
From Astral-10, the only strong students should be the ones who have been highlighted in the newspaper articles that came out a while ago. The rest can only participate to make the numbers.
The person facing Ma Ruo was actually Darkvoid, who was extremely calm.
Her hair that was so black that it seemed as if it was swallowing light around her was indeed frightening.
His unique demeanor and appearance initially attracted a lot of attention to him, but the crowd's attention quickly turned elsewhere.
The eyes of many observers were mesmerized by the sight not far from their arena.
In that arena, the Daynight youth who had once been the Astral-4 participant for Tribute to the Ancestors faced off against a very normal-looking young man.
The man from the Daynight clan was called Tiankong Daynight, and he was one of the five strongest students in Astral-4 as well as one of the Master of the Slaughter Dao Area.
Unless an Area Master met another powerhouse with the same level of strength, they would be able to instantly defeat any other opponent they faced.
But Tiankong was currently stuck in a stalemate against this unknown opponent.
He was not an experienced student of the Astral Combat Academy, but rather someone who had just joined Astral-3.
The news that the Astral Battle Tournament was going to be broadcast throughout the universe had attracted a lot of strange talent, though,
and this young man was one of those hidden geniuses whose interest was piqued, because no one recognized him.
Bang out!
There was a terrifying shockwave as the Tiankong Daynight attack enveloped the entire arena.
It even broke the sky above it, distorting space to the point where an invisible air barrier had to actively block it. This attack will definitely hit that young man.
But when the smoke dissipated, the young man still stood up properly with a stiff expression, as if the attack had not affected him in the slightest.
The Tiankong Daynight disciple shrunk to precise points. "Imust be!"
At the same time, in another arena some distance away, Frankfurt gripped its spear and looked at the vortex facing it.
All of his attacks had become useless, and his fighting strength was easily crushed by the beautiful Yue Xianzi who was standing in the middle of the approaching vortex.
“This is a battle technique you inherited from Blackwater Lake?” Frankfurt's voice was hoarse, and there was a hint of disbelief in it.
Yue Xianzi's expression remained cold as she looked at Frankfurt with her beautiful eyes. “Disappear.” A faint shadow of the cold moon appeared above his head,
causing the chill to freeze Frankfurt's body before the vortex engulfed him, his body instantly shattered into pieces.
The first Area Master had been defeated, shocking all the other students.
An Area Master only had the second strength of a Realm Master, and there were a few in each academy.
