At the Dragon‑Tooth Garrison, upon the Giant‑Stone Plaza, ten‑thousand figures stood in precise formation. Streams of mighty soul‑power rose and wove together above the square. Though no battle formation had been activated, long‑term coordination had forged profound harmony among these soul‑powers. Even without any control, they showed faint signs of blending, coalescing into a thin mist of energy hanging overhead.Buried within this energy mist lurked an extremely sharp ripple, as if Heavenly Dragon fangs sliced through the void to tear apart all creation.Upon the plaza’s stone steps stood Vance, hands clasped behind his back. Clad in the Dragon‑Tooth Armor, his towering frame radiated overwhelming pressure.Beneath him stood Timothy and Emily, the two Dragon‑Tooth Envoys.Further down were the four Grand Commanders and several unassigned Dragon‑Pavilion Scholars, including Nathan and Watt, whose positions had been taken by Emily and Albert.Every single one of the ten‑thousand full

“It’s time for Star‑Gathering!” Inside the Dragon‑Tooth Guards, Grand Commander Tamara caught sight of the scene and turned to Albert with a smile. “This phase depends entirely on how capable each Commander‑Supreme is. Only those with formidable power can seize more Boundary‑River Meteors.”Albert’s eyes sharpened. He looked over and saw Vance, Rupert and the other three Commander‑Supremes let out earth‑shaking roars. They unleashed the tremendous power of their respective guards, and towering God‑Realm Platforms rose behind them, drawing in and expelling cosmic energy.Albert noticed that among the five leaders, Vance, Wheeler, Yvonne and Yates were all at the Four‑Star God‑Realm. Only Rupert had reached the Five‑Star God‑Realm.Yet that hardly mattered. As the five Commander‑Supremes took command of their grand formations, their energy surges skyrocketed wildly, instantly rivaling the might of an Eight‑Star God‑Realm expert.Vast beams of energy sliced through the void, morphing int

Frith frowned and said, “Brother Odin, I know this will be difficult, yet we cannot let the Dragon‑Tooth Guards steal the spotlight. I do not ask you to outperform her forever. I only hope you can overshadow her on her very first attempt, so she does not gain too much momentum right off the bat.”Odin hesitated. Seeing the displeasure on Frith’s face, he finally nodded. “I shall give it a try later. But this method can only be used occasionally; otherwise, it will harm my own foundation.”Only then did Frith break into a smile. “The honor of our Dragon‑Blood Guards rests entirely on you, Brother Odin.”Odin shook his head with a soft laugh while sighing inwardly. He knew full well this stemmed from Frith’s personal motives, yet he could not turn her down. If he wanted to advance within the Dragon‑Blood lineage, he needed support from Frith’s faction. Without it, he might never secure an important high‑ranking position once he left the Dragon‑Blood Guards years from now. With their bac

Emily stretched out her jade‑like finger, sending a wisp of light‑attribute soul‑power surging into the Boundary‑River Meteor and triggering its internal reaction. Violent energy ripples burst outward, and countless cracks spread rapidly across the meteor’s surface.Within mere breaths, the meteor reached its breaking point. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of onlookers, it suddenly shattered.Countless star‑lights showered down across the sky.Each streak of light contained a glowing orb about the size of an infant’s fist. Brilliant starlight swirled across the orbs’ surfaces, dazzling and magnificent.Emily lifted her palm. Her light‑attribute soul‑power gathered all the scattered star‑lights and drew them together before her.“Envoy Emily, how many Star Orbs are there?” Timothy asked eagerly.Emily sensed the count briefly. Facing all those expectant stares, her red lips parted, and a joy‑inducing voice rang out.“Thirteen thousand five hundred.”The moment Emily’s clear, crisp

The bulging veins on Vance’s forehead slowly faded. A dull ache throbbed deep inside him, and he cursed under his breath. “That bastard Rupert truly has some skill.”He was already wracked with internal pain from bearing the impact of three Boundary‑River Meteors, yet Rupert had seized four. His strength was indeed far greater.The Dragon‑Tooth Guards erupted in cheers. While Vance had only captured three, one fewer than Rupert, with Albert and Emily handling refinement, the final yield from these three meteors would surely surpass the Dragon‑Blood Guards’ four.Vance waved his large hand, sending the three Boundary‑River Meteors drifting toward the Dragon‑Tooth Guards. At the same time, he shot Albert a sharp glance. “I’ve captured the meteors for you. Now it’s up to the two of you!”Albert nodded with a grin. “All hail Commander‑Supreme. We will spare no effort in their purification and refinement.”Vance let out a low grunt, then added, “Each Starfall event runs for seven rounds. T
