"Leng Yichen, defeated!" As this cold and emotionless voice echoed from the depths of the magnificent palace, the entire scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Leng Yichen's eyes widened, and he roared in disbelief, "No... I'm not reconciled!" He had long lost his usual composure and calmness, and was like a raging beast, frantically venting his inner resentment and anger.

He, a renowned figure of his generation, had always been the center of attention, enjoying endless glory and respect. Yet now, he had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a commoner of such lowly status. How could he possibly accept such a drastic fall from grace?

Faced with Leng Yichen's hysteria, Ye Liangchen burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, Leng Yichen, today's defeat will be an indelible stain on your heart, and no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to wash it off!" After saying that, Ye Liangchen mocked him mercilessly, as if he wanted to completely tear apart Leng Yichen's last bit of dignity.

Hearing this, Leng Yichen trembled with rage, gritting his teeth and shouting, "Ye Liangchen, you despicable scoundrel, you'll die a horrible death! You'll die a horrible death!" Although his heart was filled with resentment, reality was incredibly cruel—according to the rules, the loser had to leave immediately. So no matter how unwilling he was, he could only turn and leave with a heart full of anger.

As Leng Yichen left the stage in dejection, the fierce battle continued. Only Yan Xi, Su Yao, and fifteen others remained, holding their ground. After a brutal fight, more than half of the original thirty had perished. It's worth noting that among these remaining fifteen, the number of those belonging to Ye Yufan's side was significantly fewer than before.

The reason for this was that they had been in a state of high-intensity continuous combat, and their physical strength was greatly depleted, which gave Yan Xi's side an opportunity to take advantage of their weakness.

"Very good, very good. It seems you are quite good and have passed the third stage. But the next test is very simple. It will be based on your comprehension ability. If you can comprehend it, you will be able to obtain the treasures in the palace."

As an iron plate rose, a meteorite silently ascended. It was entirely black, radiating a mysterious light, and its surface was covered with unfamiliar runes. These runes were ancient and weathered, as if telling its endless history.

The meteorite rose slowly, as if breaking free from some kind of constraint. Its speed increased, and its light grew stronger. Under its illumination, everything around became clear, as if time itself had frozen.

Suddenly, the meteorite stopped, hovering in the air. Its surface began to shimmer with an eerie light, and the runes became clearer. Within this light, one could almost see countless stars twinkling, and the rise and fall of ancient civilizations.

As the light faded, the meteorite slowly fell and disappeared into the distance. Its appearance and disappearance seemed like a dream, making one marvel at the mystery and infinity of the universe.

"This is the test. You need to focus your attention and figure out this stone."

Look at this piece of meteorite iron.

Ye Liangchen had just sat down cross-legged when the voice of the bracelet sounded in his ear.

"Divine Child, I never expected you to have such a treasure here."

What is this?

"Divine Child, this is a treasure from an advanced civilization star system. From what I can see, it should be from a level two civilization. Although it's somewhat useless, it can still be helpful to you now."

"Then how should I comprehend this?"

“Divine Child, you can comprehend this stone by activating your extraordinary eyes. Now I need to examine this palace carefully.”

"By the way, what happened to the palace suddenly changing its rules just now?"

“Divine Child, don’t worry, it’s just some manipulation.”

Seeing that everyone else was trying to understand, Ye Liangchen also began to try to understand.

Inside the palace, a blue crystal floated.

Soon, a red crystal also appeared.

"It's you again?"

"Don't worry, friend, I'm just here to make friends."

"Make friends? Forcibly changing the rules is what you call making friends?"

The blue crystal panicked when it saw the red crystal.

"So you're not trying to get me to change the rules again, are you? Let me tell you, that's impossible. You have to understand the inheritance yourself."

"No, no, no, friend, I didn't come here to talk to you about that. I'm here mainly to discuss other things with you."

...

Outside the arena, fifteen people watched the meteorite.

Everyone stared at each other for a long time, and then someone tried to activate their supernatural power according to the runes.

Some people are circling around the meteorite, but still haven't made any progress.

Su Yao was about to fall asleep while looking at the meteorite.

"Brother Liangchen, is this guy lying to us? Why isn't he reacting at all?"

"Don't worry, we'll find a way."

Just as everyone was at a loss and helpless in the face of this mysterious meteorite, Yan Xi took a deep breath and slowly closed her beautiful and lively eyes. At the same time, a powerful energy surged out from her body, flowing around her like a tide.

She concentrated, trying to use her keen spiritual senses to perceive and touch the seemingly ordinary meteorite. At first, she didn't feel anything special, but as time passed, Yan Xi gradually immersed herself in a wondrous, ethereal state.

In this unique realm, the ancient runes originally etched onto the surface of the meteorite seemed to come alive, flashing incessantly and visibly seeping into the depths of her mind. These runes, like streams of mysterious information, stirred ripples in her ocean of consciousness.

Ye Liangchen, who had been closely observing Yan Xi's every move, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. He seemed to have grasped some crucial clue from Yan Xi, and without hesitation, he gently closed his eyes, mimicking her actions.

Sure enough, almost the instant he closed his eyes, Ye Liangchen felt his unique heterochromatic eyes begin to heat up slightly. Then, to his surprise, he discovered that his vision could easily penetrate the hard exterior of the meteorite iron, directly peering into its intricate energy structure.

Seeing that Yan Xi and Ye Liangchen had both made some progress, the others around them exchanged glances. After a brief hesitation, everyone followed their example. Among them, the resilient Su Yao gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down and do her best to eliminate all distracting thoughts.

Persistence pays off! After a period of arduous effort, Su Yao finally sensed a faint response from the meteorite. This discovery overjoyed her and greatly boosted her confidence.

And so, for the next period of time, everyone focused intently on establishing a connection with the meteorite, constantly exploring the mysteries hidden within it.

However, just as everyone was immersed in this wondrous experience, without warning, the meteorite that had been lying quietly on the ground suddenly shone with an incredibly intense light once more. This light was like a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
