**Chapter 1486: Child's Play, Boring**

Xu Jianxing and Guan Ru's conversation, although deliberately lowered in volume, was still overheard by those nearby. Lin Moyu's name was mentioned, and it immediately drew attention.

Someone said, "Indeed, purely from the perspective of realm, Lin Moyu is indeed at the bottom among us, except for a few from the War God Hall."

"The War God Hall members are not to be trifled with. If someone wants to prove something, they might really target Lin Moyu."

"But that depends on whether Lin Moyu agrees. If he doesn't, no one can force him."

"Don't forget, Chu Xiong, the Little God Sovereign, once said that Lin Moyu could slay a God Sovereign while still in the God King realm."

"Can't you tell he was just boasting to fool us?"

"Chu Xiong's words indeed lack credibility."

Chu Xiong had previously claimed that Lin Moyu could slay a God Sovereign while still in the God King realm, and everyone was initially taken aback. But upon reflection, it was clear that Chu Xiong was exaggerating.

Now, most people were skeptical, and a few outright disbelieved it.

They knew Lin Moyu's combat prowess was extraordinary, capable of fighting across several levels. With Lin Moyu's third-rank God King realm, challenging those at the seventh or eighth rank was normal.

After all, someone who could top the three rankings of the Vermilion Bird Star Domain couldn't be simple.

But to say he could single-handedly defeat a God Sovereign was too much.

Even a Little God Sovereign couldn't defeat a full-fledged God Sovereign.

These discussions were mostly confined to those from the Divine City and hadn't spread widely.

In the days following their arrival on the island, people began to form cliques, and factions gradually emerged.

The War God Hall formed one group, the Divine City another, and the cultivators from the four major star domains formed yet another.

Among them, the cultivators from the Divine City and the four major star domains were closer, forming a united front.

The cultivators from the four major star domains would eventually enter the Divine City to live and train together.

The War God Hall, being a self-contained system, naturally became isolated.

Moreover, the War God Hall members always looked down on others, making them quite unpopular. It could be said that no one liked them. Suddenly, the formation in the central square activated, projecting a giant image of a Black Tortoise in the sky.

The Black Tortoise had the body of a turtle and the head of a dragon, with a long dragon tail extending from its back.

Legend has it that the Black Tortoise has some connection with the ancestors of the dragon race, and its body contains blood similar to that of the dragon race.

It is even said that the Black Tortoise can be considered a relative of the Azure Dragon.

But legends are just legends and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

The sudden activation of the formation drew everyone's attention.

People reluctantly shifted their gaze from Lin Moyu and Lin Mohan to the Black Tortoise image.

Someone saw the Black Tortoise image and shouted, "Today is the competition for the Black Tortoise Star Domain."

"I wonder which star system it is."

"The Black Tortoise Star Domain is the largest among the four major star domains, with the most high-level life star systems, totaling 20."

"They always have the most strong contenders, but unfortunately, their ultimate combat power is not as good as the Azure Dragon Star Domain. They can only compete with the White Tiger Star Domain."

A seed contestant from the Black Tortoise Star Domain chuckled, "We in the Black Tortoise Star Domain focus on defense. Our attack power may not be sufficient, but mastering one skill is better than being mediocre at many."

"Although we rarely win the championship, we are always second or third, never at the bottom."

"This time, our goal is still to secure second place and strive for first."

The seed contestants from the Black Tortoise Star Domain were equally confident, openly stating their goals.

A seed contestant from the White Tiger Star Domain sneered, "Coincidentally, our White Tiger Star Domain also aims to secure second place and strive for first. With Fairy Han on our side, you Black Tortoise Star Domain folks might end up in third place."

The Black Tortoise Star Domain people were not convinced, "We'll see."

In their discussions, they unconsciously ranked the Azure Dragon Star Domain first.

Because in most past competitions, the Azure Dragon Star Domain ranked highest.

And the worst performer was usually the Vermilion Bird Star Domain. The best result in the history of the Vermilion Bird Star Domain was second place, achieved only once or twice.

More than 80% of the time, they were at the bottom among the four star domains.

As the Black Tortoise Star Domain people said, they excelled in one area, with clear strengths and weaknesses.

The Vermilion Bird Star Domain, on the other hand, was mediocre in everything.

Chu Xiong snorted, "You guys are dreaming. This year, the first place belongs to our Vermilion Bird Star Domain."

"Ha!"

"Chu Shixiong, you're dreaming!"

"Chu Shixiong, have some shame. You may be a Little God Sovereign, and I won't argue with you, but you should know the combat power of the Vermilion Bird Star Domain..."

Chu Xiong was left speechless, angrily retorting, "We'll see!"

Not only Chu Xiong, but the other Vermilion Bird Star Domain people also looked defiant.

But the fact was that they were indeed inferior to the others. Mere defiance was useless.

Zhuang Bi remained indifferent throughout, as if he wasn't from the Vermilion Bird Star Domain.

Chu Xiong turned to Zhuang Bi, "Old Zhuang, say something."

Zhuang Bi calmly said, "Facts speak louder than words. The arena will reveal the truth. What's the point of arguing now?"

"Besides, didn't you say Lin Shidi could slay a God Sovereign while still in the God King realm? With him around, what are you worried about?"

Chu Xiong's face turned red, scratching his head and muttering, "You know I was just boasting to fool them."

Zhuang Bi remained calm, "Maybe your boast will come true."

The projection changed again, the Black Tortoise image disappearing and replaced by a star system.

This star system was extremely prosperous, with seven life planets and eighteen resource planets.

It was a star system with twenty-five main planets.

Such a large star system was undoubtedly a high-level life star system.

A seed contestant from the Black Tortoise Star Domain recognized the star system in the projection and shouted, "It's the Black Tortoise No. 9 Life Star System, my hometown."

The No. 9 Life Star System in the projection quickly expanded, finally settling in the starry sky.

A massive arena, over ten thousand miles in diameter, had been built there, covered by formations.

To showcase real combat power, the Four Star Domain Competition was held in reality.

The entire event was controlled by the Human Emperor Network, with powerful formations set up by God Sovereigns, ensuring no accidents and almost no fatalities.

Next, the projection displayed information about the two combatants.

One was named Shui Hongbo, a seventh-rank God King, skilled in the laws of cold water.

The other was named Feng Fu, also a seventh-rank God King, skilled in the laws of solid ice.

After the formation introduced the two contestants, everyone received information about placing bets.

The betting range started from 10,000 points, with no upper limit.

The odds were fixed, with winners doubling their points and losers losing their bet.

Someone shouted, "Place your bets! I'm betting 100,000 points on Shui Hongbo to win."

"I'm betting 100,000 points on Feng Fu to win."

The scene was lively, and previous conflicts vanished.

Only the War God Hall members stood aloof, looking proud.

But they also placed bets, just not openly.

Xu Jianxing approached Lin Moyu, "Lin Shixiong, want to place a bet?"

Lin Moyu smiled, glancing at Lin Mohan beside him, "Interested?"

Lin Mohan shook her head, "Child's play, not worth betting on."

Lin Moyu said, "One can learn from others. Knowing oneself and the enemy leads to a hundred victories. Xu Shidi, who did you bet on?"

Xu Jianxing laughed, "I just placed a random bet on Shui Hongbo. He looks more pleasing to the eye."

Lin Moyu also casually bet on Shui Hongbo to win, placing 100,000 points, just for fun.
