The shift stunned many of the spectators.
"She moved!"
"Revona actually stepped back!"
"Orion's Pseudo Cosmic Path is working!"
"His attacks are not being fully erased!"
At the Nine Star Court, the cheering swelled even louder, and at the Black Dragon Clan, the disciples watched with widening eyes. Even at the War God Palace, many body cultivators regarded Orion with newfound respect.
They rarely admired long-range fighters, but the Nine Star Sovereign Body had turned Orion into a genius of close combat without ever abandoning his star foundation, and that alone was enough to earn their attention.
On the stage, Orion's attacks grew heavier.
"Nine Star Sovereign Body. First Star Fist."
His fist descended wrapped in blazing star heat. Revona's eyes flashed, and half the heat vanished, but the remaining half still forced her to raise her arm.
Boom!
Revona slid back half a step, and for one breath the entire arena went silent.
Orion did not stop.
"Second Star Step."
