"So what?" Schutz's tone was deep.
The youth's eyes flashed coldly, and he charged at Schutz with his left shoulder. Schutz clenched his fists, but he didn't take a single step back. The two collided inside the teleportation device with a dull thud. Schutz took two steps back while the youth stepped forward with a disdainful smile.
Schutz also stepped forward and pressed a hand on the youth's shoulder. Star energy erupted from the youth's body and turned into flames, causing the air to heat up. Schutz gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand, and the blood-red blade flickered with a cold light.
At that moment, Little Pao walked over and pushed Schutz's hand aside before pressing his hand on the youth's shoulder, forcefully suppressing the youth's star energy. "Sorry, you can't fight here. If you break the teleportation device, we'll have no choice but to fly out."
The youth's eyes widened, and his star energy surged as he tried to erupt again, but he couldn't break free from Little Pao's suppression. He was shocked. Didn't they say that Astral-10's remaining students were trash?
This person definitely had the strength of a Limiteer. Just his realm alone wasn't trash.
Inexplicably, everyone's hearts trembled, and they turned to look. In the distance, Xi Yue and Michelle had changed. Xi Yue's dark blue hair fluttered as she opened her mouth and sang a sweet song that reverberated in the air above the Sand Ocean. She danced in the air, and the hot air seemed to transform into a peerless beauty dancing gracefully. Her gentle voice cleansed everyone's hearts.
Her voice was beautiful, but Big Pao and Little Pao's expressions were abnormally solemn. This was Xi Yue's battle technique, Astral-8's Psychedelic Song.
Among the ten academies, Astral-8 had the most musical battle techniques, which was why the Souldream Tribe had chosen Astral-8. These musical battle techniques were most suitable for the Souldream Tribe, and they could unleash unimaginable power.
"Xi Yue won thirty consecutive ported battles. Michelle is far from her. Bro, stop her," Little Pao said solemnly.
Big Pao shook his head. He was no longer as playful as before, and his gaze was extremely serious. "Keep watching. If it doesn't work out, the Sandmaster will step in."
Xi Yue's followers were pleased with themselves. She wasn't just a singer; she was also the young matriarch of the Souldream Tribe, a powerful tribe in the Innerverse. If one wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to become the young matriarch. She was one of the strongest Melders in Astral-8.
Schutz's eyes were filled with shock as he listened to her beautiful singing voice, which caused the climate of the Desert Sea to change. He could feel a boundless sense of danger from her voice. This woman was far stronger than him, and even the people who followed her were stronger than him. For example, that man from the Blaze Realm had been able to materialize his star energy, which was a realm that Schutz could not reach for the time being. This was the power of an Astral Combat Academy student, and any one of them could shake the entire Outerverse.
Michelle frowned. The music in her ears caused her organs to vibrate and her head to feel heavy. The intense dizziness made it hard for her to even stand properly. What she saw before her eyes was no longer the Sand Ocean, but scenes of the past that had been engraved in her bones. Unable to bear it, she gritted her teeth and her red eyes flashed. Under her feet, red lotuses bloomed.
That wisp of red was shocking. It adorned the boundless sea of sand, causing the Psychedelic Song to instantly shatter.
Everyone was shocked. Was this Michelle's innate gift?
Xi Yue's eyes flashed. Red lotuses were indeed this woman's innate gift. Just like her sister, Mira, they both had the innate gift of red lotuses. It was this innate gift that had allowed her to stand out and join the Ten Arbiters Council as a Melder. She wanted to destroy this innate gift.
The song changed, and it was no longer the Psychedelic Song. Instead, it exploded in the void. This was the Triple Sonic Blast, a song that Xi Yue had mastered. She wanted to use this song to destroy the red lotuses.
Michelle opened her eyes, and her red eyes flashed with a demonic light. When the red lotuses bloomed, no one could stop her. Not this woman, not even a Melder from the other academies. At this moment, she was invincible.
At that moment, a loud shout shook the clouds and sent sand flying. "So noisy! Who dares disturb my rest?"
Xi Yue's Triple Sonic Blast and Michelle's red lotuses were shattered by a strong gust of wind. Both of them retreated at the same time, their faces pale. They bowed towards the direction of the Sand Ocean, "Sorry, Mentor." "Sorry, Mentor."
Big Pao quickly stepped forward and laughed dryly, "Junior Michelle, Junior Xi Yue, the Sandmaster has a bad temper. You should stop."
The two looked at each other. "Sister Michelle is indeed Senior Mira's younger sister. Her talent is amazing." Xi Yue smiled.
Michelle glanced at her coldly and walked towards the east of the Sand Ocean.
Xi Yue didn't mind and smiled at Big Pao before telling the others to leave the Sand Ocean, "I'm going to cultivate in the Sand Ocean for a few days. I'll let you guys know when I'm done."
"Miss Xi Yue, isn't it too dangerous?" the youth from the Blaze Realm asked worriedly.
Xi Yue frowned, "This is the Sand Ocean. With the Sandmaster here, no one can hurt me. Don't be so petty. Let's go."
"Let's just wait at the entrance."
Xi Yue didn't say anything else. She smiled at Big Pao and Little Pao again and walked towards the west of the Sand Ocean.
Schutz retracted his gaze and slowly suppressed the shock in his heart. That was a battle between the top students of the Astral Combat Academy, and he was still far from it.
Little Pao patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go. Don't think too much. You're much stronger than when you first entered the academy, so your future won't be bad."
Schutz nodded and stepped into the teleportation device. Big Pao immediately ran over and the three of them left the Sand Ocean.
In the end, only Xi Yue's group remained at the entrance of the Sand Ocean.
The Sand Ocean was vast and boundless. Xi Yue didn't fly and instead walked step by step towards its depths. However, with her speed, she had already covered a large distance in just an hour.
Feeling the roughness and hardness of the sand, Xi Yue's eyes wandered, "I hope I can comprehend battle force here and truly stand at the top of Astral-8. I might even become an Area Master." She then recalled the experiences of a student from Astral-8 who had entered the Sand Ocean, "Should I bury myself?
The deeper, the better. "
With a boom, Xi Yue struck the sand with her palm, but she found that it was difficult to penetrate the loose sand. Even with her full strength, she only managed to create a one-meter deep hole. The sand seemed to be resistant to the strong. Helpless, Xi Yue stood in the sand and slowly sank down.
The deeper she sank, the more pain she felt from the friction between her body and the sand. This sand was very helpful in tempering the body, but the pain was proportional to the gains.
Xi Yue was already prepared for this and gritted her teeth.
When she was completely buried in the sand, an earth-shattering pressure assaulted her. It didn't just affect her body, but also her spirit. It was as if she was being suppressed under a mountain, and her entire body was being suppressed and suffocated.
However, this pressure was similar to some of the training grounds in Astral-8, and it wasn't enough for her to comprehend battle force.
Warriors had integrity, and if they wanted to obtain battle force, they had to endure inhuman pressure. All of the ten academies had such places, but there were too many people in those places. Only Astral-10's Sand Ocean didn't have many people, and it was also a legendary holy land for training battle force. She had to succeed and go deeper, deeper.
Five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters.
When Xi Yue was twenty meters below the surface, she felt a little dizzy and blood vessels appeared on her originally sparkling skin. This distance was already the limit for both her body and spirit, but it still wasn't enough.
Xi Yue gritted her teeth and continued her descent. Suddenly, she stepped on something strange. It was soft, and when she looked down, she saw a pair of eyes staring blankly at her breasts.
Lu Yin was sleeping. That's right, sleeping. Ever since he'd entered the Sand Ocean, he'd discovered that the surface of the desert wasn't of much use to him. He'd looked at the information Big Pao had sent him about the Sand Ocean and decided to bury himself to train.
The deeper he went, the stronger the pressure. Sure enough, it was effective. Lu Yin actually fell asleep while enduring the pressure of the Sand Ocean. With his body's strength, he wouldn't be injured even if he was buried twenty meters below the surface, but he didn't care about the pain.
Just as he was sleeping, his calf was stepped on by something. He opened his eyes and saw an imposing figure right in front of him. This was a woman's chest, right? It should be. He stared at it in a daze. A delicate fragrance wafted into his nose, intoxicating him. He subconsciously took a deep breath and raised his head, meeting a pair of lifeless eyes.
"Pervert!" Xi Yue's face paled as she roared and slammed her palm down.
Lu Yin dodged to the side, "Don't shout!" Xi Yue raised her leg and kneed him in the face, but he blocked it with his hand and grabbed onto her snow-white thigh, "Woman, I was here first."
Xi Yue felt the warmth of his hand on her thigh and raged, "Let me go, pervert!"
Lu Yin quickly let go and retreated, "Don't call me pervert, I was here first and you stepped on me."
Xi Yue trembled with rage. She was the junior matriarch of the Souldream Tribe, and she had never been so close to a man before. When she thought about how her chest was so close to this person, and how, how, how, how, Xi Yue's blood rushed to her head. "I'll kill you!" She opened her mouth, and a strange sound rang out from all directions.
This was the Triple Sonic Boom, but she hadn't used it against Michelle. Now, it was all aimed at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's expression changed; this woman was quite strong. He instinctively activated his Cosmic Art to weaken the sonic boom within its range, but when he looked up, he saw that Xi Yue wasn't done yet. Enraged, he reached out to grab Xi Yue.
"Pervert, you're courting death!" Xi Yue was beyond furious and wanted nothing more than to destroy this man. "You're courting death," she shouted as she breathed out, her delicate lips singing a sweet song. Lu Yin's hand stopped ten centimeters away from Xi Yue, the song turning into a cosmic tide that tried to drown him.
Xi Yue had never used her most powerful musical battle technique before, the Dark Universe Song of Dawn, causing the entire desert to boil.
In the depths of the desert, the Sandmaster was shocked, "What a powerful musical battle technique, as expected of the most outstanding descendant of the Souldream Tribe. She's one of the strongest youths in the Innerverse, qualified to enter the Top 100 Rankings."
Lu Yin's hand couldn't move an inch forward, and a drop of blood flowed from his ear. The song seemed to explode in his brain, trying to blow him up.
