The contest within the Constellation Palace isn't just about fighting in the arena; there are many peculiar and strange scenarios, and Lu Ye has long been aware of this.

Cultivators enter the place of contention through a portal, but what form they'll encounter and what scenario they'll enter are uncontrollable, all governed by the rules of the Constellation Palace.

For the past half month, Lu Ye has always encountered arena battles, and the opponents he faced have all been lone individuals.

But this time, it's clearly different.

This time, it's a contest between multiple people.

As the jumping voice echoed in his mind, Lu Ye could clearly sense the presence of four other people. This perception wasn't through the sensing of mental consciousness, nor through the observation of the naked eye, but it was the temporary ability granted to him by the Constellation Palace.

As long as he remains in this scenario, he can easily perceive the approximate positions of those four and also connect with them easily.

These four people are considered his temporary companions.

In other words, in this contest, the five of them form a group, needing to temporarily join forces, advancing and retreating together. This is a test for anyone.

It's difficult for cultivators to cooperate with strangers because the human heart is unpredictable, and there's no trust among them, but in such a place and such a scenario, the five have no choice but to act together.

Because they have enemies, and the enemies are also in groups of five; as for how many such groups there are... Lu Ye doesn't know, as this information wasn't specified when he came in through the portal, given by the Constellation Palace.

So on this desolate planet, besides Lu Ye's group of five, there are at least five others, perhaps ten, fifteen, or even twenty...

Being here, the most urgent thing for everyone now is obviously to quickly find a place to gather, as only by gathering can they keep each other warm.

Following the jumping voice, a gentle, watery female voice sounded: "Then should we find a spot to gather? One person stays put, while the other four converge, how about it?"

In the absence of a map and the inability to provide precise location information, this method is indeed the most practical and best solution. It's undoubtedly an experienced suggestion; if expected, this woman should have gone through such a contest before.

Another voice, full of vigor, spoke: "Alright! So... who should we converge towards?"

Lu Ye remained silent, still spreading his mental consciousness without a sound, probing around.

The last slightly elderly voice spoke: "I'm old, my legs and feet aren't agile, why don't you all demonstrate some reverence for the old and love for the young and converge toward me, being cautious along the way to keep our presence hidden."

The jumping voice replied: "Let's listen to the elder then."

The others had no objections, and Lu Ye immediately moved towards the location of the owner of the elderly voice.

However, before converging, he had to judge the exact location of the elderly voice because, although he could sense the approximate position of his four temporary companions, he was completely unaware of who corresponded to each position.

But in the case where one person remains still and the other four move, it's much simpler to judge.

Soon, within Lu Ye's senses, including himself, the other three temporary companions were all gathering towards one location, which was undoubtedly the location of the elderly voice's owner.

Moments later, while Lu Ye was still hurrying on the road, a sudden exclamation came into his mind, it was that vigorous voice: "Hey everyone, I've been ambushed, I'm slightly injured and can't escape, who can come to help?"

"How many enemies are there?" The gentle female voice sounded.

"Two people, one at the late stage, one at mid-stage! Ouch, this late-stage one is really formidable, I can't hold on..."

Before finishing the sentence, the person vanished from Lu Ye's senses.

It was clear he wasn't killed, but rather chose to give up and leave the place.

Lu Ye continued moving forward, his expression calm; they hadn't even gathered before their side lost one person, undoubtedly an unfortunate start, but not a big problem.

This wasn't the end; following the person's departure, the elderly voice sounded again, with a feeling of slight resignation: "Everyone, I also need to leave. Recently, I subdued a natal beast pet, but for some reason, it suddenly revolted, and I need to deal with it."

After saying this, within Lu Ye's senses, the elder immediately disappeared as well.

He immediately halted his movement, previously planning to converge toward the elder's position, but now since he left, there was naturally no need to advance.

The five joining forces, just at the beginning, one got beaten out, and the other left due to his natal beast pet, reducing the team to only three...

Lu Ye didn't expect his first experience of such a scenario would turn out so unlucky, the companions arranged by the Constellation Palace were truly not reliable.

The jumping voice was clearly at a loss: "So... what should we do now?"

The woman sighed gently, sadness evident in the sigh that could be felt as poignant even across a great distance.

Without receiving a response, the jumping voice spoke again: "No matter what you decide, I'm sticking it through; I can't just give up without fighting first, that would be too disgraceful."

"What's your cultivation level?" the woman asked weakly.

"Early Stage!"

"Oh, then I'm a bit stronger than you; I'm Mid-Stage!" The woman's voice remained gentle, and she stated it plainly without a hint of pride. Anyone who heard her voice could easily imagine a tender, soft figure.

"Never mind the Early or Mid-Stage; what's the plan now? Wait, there's another Fellow Daoist here who's been silent all along. Surely he can't be mute, right? Fellow Daoist, do you have any good suggestions?"

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and used audio transmission, "Find a concealed location and stay put, we'll come to you."

"Why should I stay put? Are you underestimating me? Afraid I'll be exposed? Let me tell you, although my cultivation isn't high, I have treasures on me, and in the realm of Concealment, you might not measure up to me."

"Then Fellow Daoist, please stay put!" Lu Ye couldn't be bothered to argue and immediately changed his mind.

"Well... okay!" The woman was obedient and promptly found a hidden spot to hide.

Lu Ye advanced smoothly, and about one hour later, he finally arrived at the woman's location.

It was a desolate hollow, with traces of Formation concealment. When Lu Ye arrived, the woman obviously sensed it and opened a gap in the Formation. Lu Ye swiftly slipped in.

At a glance, he saw two figures.

One was an acquaintance, the young master of Wanxia Sect from Cheling World, Chu Shen.

No wonder his voice sounded familiar earlier...

Obviously, he had been let out for this opportunity; it makes sense. With such a significant chance presented by Constellation Palace, how could Chu Shen, a native cultivator of All Phenomena Galaxy, miss it? No matter how reluctant that Jiu Yan might have been, he understood that flowers in a greenhouse wouldn't grow strong, and Constellation Palace was undoubtedly a place to rapidly broaden one's horizons and accumulate combat experience. If he missed this chance, it would be hard to encounter another.

Earlier, he mentioned he had protective treasures, which Lu Ye believed, as he almost fell for this young man's trick previously.

Chu Shen, being closer, naturally arrived earlier than Lu Ye.

Beside Chu Shen stood a seemingly weak woman, extremely beautiful, but somehow she gave off an air of pity, as if she had encountered something sad...

Lu Ye even saw a look of self-blame in her eyes, not knowing what exactly she was feeling guilty about.

Lu Ye looked at her a few more times; not because she was beautiful, but because of the symmetrical lines on her smooth cheeks. These lines were clearly natural, which didn't detract from her delicate appearance but instead added a mysterious charm.

Upon sensing her aura, Lu Ye immediately understood—the woman was of Demon Race descent, not human!

The specifics of her true form were unknown, but it's not easy to inquire about, especially with female demons assuming human forms; revealing their true form secrets could easily target them.

Within the concealed big array, upon confirming Lu Ye's cultivation was only Constellation Mid-Stage, Chu Shen couldn't help but sigh, "Not reliable, not reliable."

The lineup of five had already lost two members; if Lu Ye were Constellation Late Stage, they might manage a bit of a fight, but finding Lu Ye to be merely Mid-Stage, matching the woman's cultivation.

Now, two Mid-Stage and one Early Stage gathered... What could they accomplish? Even if he had numerous treasures, combat between cultivators ultimately relies on strength as the foundation. He indeed had red talisman-like treasures, but such combat battles can't just toss around red talismans.

However, despite his youth, Chu Shen had one advantage—resilience, he quickly adjusted his mood without feeling the least shame, opened his mouth grandly, "Since we're to fight side by side, we should get familiar, let's share our names for easier calling."

"Oh… okay." The woman clasped her little hands before her belly, her thumbs swirling, nodding briskly.

Chu Shen coughed lightly, cupped his fists, "Greetings to my Senior Brothers and Sisters. I am called Overwhelming Confidence!"

Lu Ye's expression remained unchanged...

Mainly because, over the past half-moon, he had encountered countless peculiar names, nothing seemed odd now.

He wasn't the only one using pseudonyms for the Constellation Palace fight; those yearning to make names and be recruited by major powers certainly operated under their real names for attention, but many couldn't reveal their names or deliberately concealed them. Star Palace's rule allowed free naming, naturally leading to a proliferation of peculiar names.

Overwhelming Confidence was decent; Lu Ye even came across someone named Combat Cultivators Eat Feces to Grow, whom he pummelled miserably in battle.

Lu Ye turned his gaze towards the delicate woman beside him.

The woman's voice was faint as a mosquito buzz, "I'm Invincible Lucky Star."

Blushing deeply...

Lu Ye nodded slightly, "Fa Wuzun!"

The three with pseudonyms looked at each other, the atmosphere briefly silent.
