Dragon Nine sent someone flying with a swipe of its claw, but it suddenly felt a sense of danger coming from its tail. Someone had the power to threaten it.
Dragon Nine turned around and roared in anger. A silver needle pierced the meatball at its tail, causing it to wail in agony.
That person had been right; the meatball at the tail was indeed the sylvan dragon's weakness. Many powers in the Innerverse knew about this, but there were very few people at the same level who could actually break through the meatball's defenses and injure the dragon's main body. Dragon Nine had never expected to encounter one in the Outerverse.
Although the needle had injured the meatball at its tail, it hadn't caused much damage. Still, it was enough for the attacker. She hadn't actually planned on defeating Dragon Nine; she had only wanted to break through the seal.
While Dragon Nine was injured, a woman rushed into the beam of light, a silver needle in her hand shining brightly.
Dragon Nine was enraged and vented all of its anger on the others.
On the bluestone platform, Lu Yin looked at the distant rain and listened to the sound of it. His heart grew calmer as he felt that this rain wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Lulu was also immersed in the rain as she looked into the distance.
At that moment, a figure descended, and everyone looked over in shock.
It was a man with an ordinary appearance and dressed in ordinary clothes. He looked very ordinary, but his black hair made people unable to shift their gaze. It was too black, without any luster. No, it could even be said that it absorbed the surrounding light, making the black hair look like a black hole. It made the man look very strange.
The man didn't pay attention to the crowd and stood there quietly without moving.
Almost at the same time, another figure descended. It was a woman.
"Ah, Sister Zora!" Coco shouted in surprise.
The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Coco, "Coco, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Coco shook her head and looked at Zora excitedly, "How about you?
Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? "
Zora quickly shook her head, "No, I'm not hurt."
"Oh," Coco was disappointed.
"Sister Zora, let me introduce you. This is Brother Lu Yin, and this is Sister Lulu. It's all thanks to them that I was able to pass the test. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make it here," Coco introduced Zora to Lu Yin and Lulu.
Lu Yin nodded at Zora; she was also from Windrift Hall.
Lulu's attitude was much more indifferent, but she was still polite.
Zola thanked him and then pulled Coco aside to say something.
At the end of the Melder's path was a deathly stillness. The ground seemed to have been flattened by something, and there were no survivors. Even the experts from the Ross Empire who had been standing guard in front of the beam of light had been reduced to scrap metal and were covered in blood. This was a path of death that had been completely annihilated.
"Incredible! That black-haired young man's talent is incredible!"
"It's a pity that he's too murderous."
"Based on his experience, it's only natural for him to be so murderous. Our academy lacks people like him."
Countless people were waiting in space as two screens appeared on the Melder's paths. One had Zora's name on it, indicating that she was from Windrift Hall, while the other only had two words: Darkvoid. Her origins were unknown.
Time passed slowly, and another day passed. At the end of a Melder's path, Asharom stood proudly in front of a beam of light. In front of him were dozens of Melders who had been roasted by his high temperature.
He was from the Blaze Domain and ranked fifth on the Blaze Domain Smelting Rankings. He was not someone these trash could compare to.
Suddenly, the sun was completely frozen, and a frigid chill descended once more, sweeping across the land.
All of the Melders who had been roasted by Asharom were ecstatic. Without the advantage of the environment, they were confident that they could challenge Asharom.
However, when flames spread out from Asharom's body, everyone fell into despair once more. This was an innate gift. This Innerverse elite had an innate gift of fire, and when combined with his Blaze Domain battle techniques, he was simply invincible.
Asharom enjoyed watching these people's expressions turn from hope to despair. This was why he looked down on the Outerverse; it only produced weaklings.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure walked out from outside Asharom's flames. Her graceful figure formed an extremely seductive dance under the roasting flames, attracting many people's attention. When they looked closely, they saw a beautiful face with dark red eyes and elegant white hair that was as white as snow.
Many people swallowed and stared blankly at the beautiful woman. Her bare feet stepped through the flames as she walked past Asharom and slowly entered the beam of light.
Once the woman disappeared, the crowd finally reacted. Did Asharom not stop her?
Asharom stood rooted to the spot, recognizing her the moment he saw her. Michelle, also known as the Red Lotus Witch, was the younger sister of the Ten Arbiters Council's Red Lotus Witchbow Mira. This person could not be provoked.
After waiting for an entire day, a newcomer finally arrived on the limestone platform. When they saw Michelle, everyone's attention was drawn, including the man from the Myriad Swords Peak and the black-haired man who had been quietly watching the rain.
Michelle was too alluring. Whether it was her appearance, attire, or the formless aura she exuded, everyone was mesmerized. Even Coco, who was a girl, was seeing stars.
Lu Yin stared at Michelle, as if he was looking at Mira the moment he saw her. She was similarly beautiful, had the same white hair, and had the same dark red eyes.
Michelle's appearance was fiery and seductive, but her expression was indifferent. She glanced at the crowd and then looked into the distance.
No one went up to talk to her. Those who could pass the test were all people with strong wills and would not be easily bewitched by her beauty.
Not long after Michelle's appearance, another person arrived. It was Meng Yue, the young master of the Vastdearth Sect who had taken the same path as Lu Yin. Archino, who had been guarding Lu Yin's path, had been killed by a single punch from Lulu. Anyone who could reach the end of the path would pass the trial. Unfortunately, Meng Yue was the only one who could pass the trial, as the previous batch had all been heavily injured by Archino's attacks.
Meng Yue stared straight at Lu Yin before looking at Lulu with a fearful gaze. He didn't speak and just walked to the side.
Time passed once more. At this moment, the most anxious people were Dorren Yushan and the others. None of the Great Yu Empire's Melders had passed the same path.
The cold night not only represented the environment, but also one's state of mind.
Schutz and the rest were experiencing an endless winter.
In front of them, a half-human, half-machine man lowered his arm. Beneath his feet were a dozen Melders who had joined forces to try and break through, but had fallen at his feet.
"I already said that you can't pass. The difference between the Innerverse and the Outerverse is like the gap between heaven and earth," the man said indifferently, his tone stiff and mechanical.
The dozen Melders were aghast. The half-machine monster's every attack was within the range of a Melder's, but the terrifying power of each attack made them tremble. They were not even on the same level.
Schutz gritted his teeth and stepped forward. As the number one expert of the Great Yu Empire's younger generation and the only one who had reached the end, he could not retreat. He had to enter Astral-10 even if it meant death so that Princess Wendy would no longer look down on them.
The mechanical man looked at Schutz impatiently, "Come out and die." He then raised his gun and fired a string of light beams at Schutz from strange angles.
Schutz growled and slashed out with his blood-red warblade. A dazzling slash tore through the air and pressed down in all directions. The shockwave spread out behind him, shocking the Melders. This person was not weak.
However, Schutz's strongest slash was easily torn apart by the light beams. One after another, the beams condensed into a terrifying force that no one could resist. Not only did they tear through the slash, but they also reached Schutz and aimed for his heart.
Schutz roared and blocked with his blood-red warblade, but it did not even last a second before it broke. In that instant, he felt the man's powerful strength, and it was unstoppable. This person's strength was far beyond his imagination.
Just as everyone thought that Schutz was dead for sure, the light beams suddenly disappeared.
Everyone stared blankly at Schutz. He's not dead?
Schutz raised his head and looked at the half-machine man. His pupils shrank as he saw another person standing behind him with a gentle smile.
Schutz recognized this person as one of the Melders from the Great Yu Empire, but he was not from Yu Academy. Schutz had only seen him once and had not asked much about him, but now, this person had saved him.
"Who are you?" The half-machine man's voice was icy.
"Xia Luo, I'm sorry, but please let us pass."
"Sure."
Xia Luo nodded at Schutz and turned to walk towards the light beams.
Schutz had a complicated look on his face. That powerhouse from the Innerverse had been intimidated by Xia Luo. Was this person from the Great Yu Empire?
Everyone watched as Xia Luo and Schutz slowly walked towards the light beams. From start to finish, the half-machine man did not turn around, but his eyes were cold. He had just felt the chill of death, and he had subconsciously stopped his attack. He was sure that this person had the strength to kill him. How could there be such a terrifying person in the Outerverse?
