In an instant, a low, muffled sound suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.
In everyone’s view, the body of the Black Moon Priest suddenly exploded at this moment.
Across the entire Cosmic Void, only the sounds of planetary and stellar activity could be heard, with no other sound echoing.
All eyes were on Lu Sheng, with expressions filled with extreme shock.
Neither Star River University nor the Blood Bone Race had any anticipation of this scene.
They could only see Lu Sheng and the Black Moon Priest’s bodies pause briefly, surrounded by a mysterious energy.
Then, the Black Moon Priest’s body directly exploded.
This was completely unexpected for everyone.
Only the eyes of the Blood Moon Void Spirit and Lei Fengyun shone brightly.
Next, the expression of the Blood Moon Void Spirit gradually became unsightly, while Lei Fengyun seemed to have thought of something, and a radiant smile spread across his face.
"It seems this round... belongs to Star River University!"
Lei Fengyun’s voice rose slowly at this moment, fully sealing the conclusion of this matter.
At this time, everyone from Star River University couldn’t help but reveal excited expressions.
Lu Sheng has won... Lei Fengyun has also won.
Now, with two out of three victories, Star River University can obtain that High-level Resource Planet.
Even with three out of five victories, unless someone possesses Dao Insights superior to Gumo, with nearly freakish abilities in the Heaven-Reaching Mini World, Gumo is unbeatable.
Otherwise... it’s virtually impossible to be Gumo’s match.
There’d even be a chance to be slain in the Heaven-Reaching Mini World by Gumo.
Moreover, the death of the Black Moon Priest at Lu Sheng’s hands, while not a significant blow to the Blood Bone Race, still pained them.
Yet, despite this situation, it still immensely excited them all.
Compared to Star River University’s side, the Blood Bone Race’s atmosphere was extremely gloomy, especially with the Blood Moon Void Spirit looking horrendously grim.
Facing the current situation, even the Blood Moon Void Spirit couldn’t do anything.
The saying "trying to steal a chicken only to lose a handful of rice" aptly describes the current scenario.
They hoped to kill Lu Sheng, but instead, Lu Sheng counter-killed a late-stage eighth-tier elite.
This is not good news!
"Then... let’s continue!"
Lei Fengyun observed the Blood Moon Void Spirit’s expression, secretly amused, then casually spoke.
Lu Sheng retreated from the Cosmic Void and returned to Star River University’s camp, where other eighth-tier mentors looked at Lu Sheng with changed attitudes.
If previously Lu Sheng was merely a youngster with extraordinary talent in their eyes, now he is an exceedingly powerful existence!
After all, defeating the Black Moon Priest isn’t easy; to kill him requires a peak eighth-tier expert...
In some respects, Lu Sheng now can even wrestle with peak eighth-tier experts.
As Lu Sheng returned to his position, the battle resumed.
As expected by all Star River University’s elites, Gumo took the stage and smoothly won the mid-stage eighth-tier battle.
Unfortunately, the mid-stage eighth-tier Blood Bone Race expert somehow found a way to escape from Gumo’s grasp.
But even so, the opponent was heavily wounded, impossible to recover before the peak in a short time.
With Gumo’s victory, Lei Fengyun grinned, "It seems this High-level Resource Planet is our Star River University’s!"
Facing Lei Fengyun’s smile, the Blood Moon Void Spirit could only respond with a cold snort, his expression extremely dark.
Now they not only failed to obtain the High-level Resource Planet, but he himself was severely wounded by Lei Fengyun, unlikely to recover for decades.
The Black Moon Priest, a late-stage eighth-tier elite, was also killed by Lu Sheng.
Another mid-stage eighth-tier expert was heavily wounded.
This time the Blood Bone Race suffered a crushing defeat.
The Blood Moon Void Spirit had no face to stay here any longer, knowing that if he remained, he would gain nothing and only face humiliation from Lei Fengyun.
In such circumstances, the Blood Moon Void Spirit would naturally not accept it.
Thus, he left this area with the people of the Blood Bone Race.
Lei Fengyun watched the Blood Moon Void Spirit leave, chuckled softly, and his gaze towards the High-level Resource Planet became warmer.
The High-level Resource Planet, even ninth-tier experts covet it.
Lei Fengyun then waved his hand, and with an extremely terrifying force, pulled the High-level Resource Planet away from its original position.
"This High-level Resource Planet cannot remain on the Star River Battlefield; I need to place it in the rear section of Star River University!"
"Once everything concludes, everyone involved in the trial will receive a certain share."
Lei Fengyun said to everyone.
The crowd nodded slightly; they understood, knowing that High-level Resource Planets are extremely precious and easily targeted by the Blood Bone Race if left on the frontline.
If the Blood Bone Race were to crush it, it would be a tremendous loss.
Therefore, even though transporting planets incurs a high cost, it must be done.
The other Primary and Intermediate Resource Planets are not worth such efforts.
However, before leaving, Lei Fengyun looked at Lu Sheng and, smiling, said, "Well done, young man, I hope to see your ninth-tier achievement one day!"
"I think... that day won’t be far off!"
Lei Fengyun’s words stirred waves in everyone’s hearts.
Is Lei Fengyun certain that Lu Sheng can achieve ninth-tier? And that it won’t take long?
Some gasped deeply, almost blurting out "terrifying indeed".
Then, Lei Fengyun left Gumo’s defenses with the High-level Resource Planet.
After accomplishing all this, everyone gradually prepared to leave, since everything was settled, and they had to guard their own defenses.
As Lu Sheng was about to leave, Gumo stopped him.
