Xi Yue glared at him, pervert! What washboard? It's huge! Ptui, what am I thinking?
Xi Yue turned her head away, fuming inside.
Lu Yin felt like he'd gone too far, but he didn't care about her anyway. She was nothing compared to Bai Xue in terms of looks, Michelle in terms of temperament, Mira in terms of seduction, and Coco in terms of purity. Where did she get her confidence from?
Her voice was good, but this was his first time encountering a musical battle technique.
Xi Yue looked at her gadget; it must have been crushed when she fell. She looked up, wanting to distance herself from this pervert, but without him, she wouldn't be able to withstand the wind. Damn it, the young matriarch of the Souldream Tribe actually had to rely on someone else. She looked at Lu Yin, "When will the next gale arrive?"
"One minute," he answered casually.
Xi Yue frowned, "I'm not joking."
"I'm not joking either," he repeated.
Xi Yue was furious, but she took out a ring from her cosmic ring and turned it into a set of Melder armor.
Lu Yin pondered, would external help be useful here?
But before he could think further, a gale blew past.
Xi Yue didn't expect him to help her, thinking that her Melder armor would be enough to hold her off. However, reality left her in despair as a gust of wind blew past, tearing her ring armor and her clothes apart to reveal her fair skin. He immediately pulled her into his arms again, shielding her from the wind.
"Don't look down!" she shouted.
"Then you carry it yourself."
"No."
"Why?"
"I-I can give you a reward."
His eyes lit up when he heard the word 'reward' and he hugged her even tighter, almost breaking her neck. Xi Yue changed into her new clothes as soon as the wind blew past and stared at Lu Yin, only relaxing when she saw that he wasn't looking at her.
"Are you done?" he asked.
Xi Yue grunted.
Lu Yin smiled, "Get ready, the gale is coming again."
Xi Yue's gaze was resolute, and her pale face stared straight into the depths of the Dark Desert. A gust of wind blew past her, and the terrifying spiritual pressure almost caused her to collapse. Fortunately, she managed to pull through. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Lu Yin, "Battle force?"
The two of them had been in this place for twelve hours and had been ravaged by 144 gusts of wind. Lu Yin had been awake the entire time, which meant that he had completely withstood them all. That was why he was able to form traces of battle force that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Battle Qi?"
Lu Yin was puzzled and followed Xi Yue's gaze to his own body. His expression changed as he realized that there were threads of gas around his body, moving according to his will and slowly covering his entire body. Was this battle force?
Lu Yin had never thought that he would be able to cultivate battle force by accident. This was battle force, the ultimate power of the Innerverse. Although he had hoped to use the Sand Ocean to cultivate battle force, he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
Xi Yue was shocked. Battle force was a high-end combat power, and even in the Innerverse, there weren't many who could use it. There were less than ten known battle force experts in Astral-8, and according to the universe's knowledge, battle force was a high-end power that was on par with innate gifts, but this pervert had actually mastered it.
Bang
Lu Yin slammed his palm into the sand, his eyes gleaming with excitement as a wisp of air circled around his palm.
The appearance of battle force gave Lu Yin a feeling that everything was under his control. In the past, if he used 80% of his strength in each of his palms and reserved 20% for recovery, then with the addition of battle force, he would be able to use 120% of his strength and still reserve 20% for recovery. Not only did battle force increase his defense, it also increased his attack power. Furthermore, it was extremely destructive and penetrative.
"So this is battle force. Good stuff," Lu Yin exclaimed excitedly.
Xi Yue couldn't believe it, but there was also a trace of shame and anger. Something she couldn't do had been accomplished by this pervert.
"Do you know battle force?" Lu Yin asked with a curious gaze.
Xi Yue snorted and turned away, not wanting to look at that hateful face.
Lu Yin was confused. What now?
This woman was crazy.
On the surface of the desert, the Sandmaster was shocked, "Only twelve hours? Guanyu was right. This kid's sealed body has extraordinary innate gifts, so he should be from a powerful clan. Is it the Innerverse?
Or is it that place? "
At the trial zone entrance, Schutz walked out of the teleportation stone's range with an ugly expression. Although he had improved recently, his results hadn't improved much compared to the powerhouses he had faced in the ported battles. He had even been defeated by a Sentinel.
Thinking of the Sentinel realm, Schutz thought of Lu Yin who had entered the academy with him and wondered how he was doing.
"Senior Big Pao, who has the best results in the ported battles?" Schutz asked.
Big Pao thought for a moment, "Probably Lu Yin."
Schutz was shocked, "Lu Yin?
Isn't he a Sentinel? "
Big Pao smiled, "He broke through, but his results were the best when he was a Sentinel. He had three consecutive victories, and now he has six in a row. He has a total of thirty-one wins and forty-six losses."
Schutz was stunned; how was that possible?
His record was four wins and seventy-six losses, a win rate of almost twenty to one. Compared to Lu Yin's, the difference was like heaven and earth. What had happened to make Lu Yin's win rate so high?
Or was Lu Yin's power really that terrifying?
Those who had never experienced a ported battle would never be able to imagine the cruelty of it. Everyone who had encountered such freakish powerhouses were the top experts of the Innerverse's younger generation. Schutz was already considered very strong in the Outerverse, but he was nothing compared to those people. Now, Lu Yin had unknowingly surpassed him, which made him feel very conflicted.
Beneath the Sand Ocean, Xi Yue hid behind Lu Yin in shame. Her body couldn't withstand the wind, so she could only do so.
"Don't forget the reward we agreed on," Lu Yin spoke up, angering her, "Here you go."
Lu Yin was pleasantly surprised; he only had ten thousand star crystals from completing the Sentinel mission. Compared to the cost of rolling six pips, ten thousand was just a starting point. He needed to earn more, and this woman was obviously rich.
Xi Yue gave him a Mavis Bank card, "There are two thousand star crystals inside."
Lu Yin was delighted, "Thank you, I didn't know you were so generous."
"Protect me," Xi Yue said disdainfully, "But before she could finish, another gust of wind hit her and she choked on her words.
Lu Yin was already used to it and covered himself with battle force, greatly reducing the pressure.
The wind passed quickly, leaving Xi Yue gasping for breath. She looked at Lu Yin and saw that he was completely fine, "Protect me while I comprehend battle force, and I'll pay you another twenty thousand star crystals when it's over."
Lu Yin was shocked, "Twenty thousand?
You're really rich, aren't you? "
Xi Yue snorted and didn't answer; did she need money from her family?
She was the brightest star in the Innerverse, and any one of her albums could be sold for a sky-high price. She had so much money that she didn't even know how much she had; she even had a Mavis Bank amethyst card. However, there was no need to tell this country bumpkin, lest he take advantage of her.
"Do you agree or not?" Xi Yue asked coldly.
Lu Yin considered it for a moment, his eyes flashing.
Xi Yue frowned, "Thirty thousand."
"Deal," Lu Yin agreed decisively. Even if he used his die to break down abandoned machines and worked for two days without rest, he'd only gotten a little over three thousand. Although he didn't know how long it would take, it was much easier than breaking down machines. All he had to do was help her resist the wind, and with battle force, it wouldn't affect him at all.
Xi Yue couldn't be bothered to waste time with Lu Yin after the deal was done and had him turn around to be a wall while she sat down to experience the pressure from all directions.
With Lu Yin's protection, the physical wind was no longer a threat to Xi Yue; she only had to endure the mental pressure.
Time passed quickly, and another twenty hours passed. Lu Yin's battle force had increased by a sliver during this time, but Xi Yue still showed no signs of comprehending battle force.
"Why haven't you comprehended it yet?
That's too slow, "Lu Yin urged impatiently.
Xi Yue gritted her teeth in anger, "Do you think battle force is that easy to comprehend? Everyone in the Innerverse is a battle force master."
"How am I so fast?" Lu Yin glanced at her.
Xi Yue was speechless; this bastard really didn't know how to talk. No matter what, she was still a beauty. How could a country bumpkin not know her?
"I'll give you another ten hours, I'll leave if you don't comprehend it."
Xi Yue snorted, "I'll add another twenty thousand star crystals."
"You can take your time, I'm not in a hurry," Lu Yin answered seriously.
Xi Yue snorted, "Stop looking at me and be a wall."
Lu Yin pursed his lips and turned his back to her.
After a while, Lu Yin remembered something, "Who are you?
Why are you in Astral-10? "
"I'm a student of Astral-8, here to train," Xi Yue said. She didn't want to tell this bastard her name, it felt like an insult.
"Astral-8?
Innerverse?
Doesn't Astral-8 have a place to comprehend battle force?
Why did you come all the way here? "Lu Yin was curious.
"That's none of your business," Xi Yue frowned.
Lu Yin laughed, "You weren't kicked out, were you? That's right, you have such a bad personality."
Xi Yue gritted her teeth and snorted, not replying.
"Right, let me ask you a question, how do I strengthen my battle force?" Lu Yin was curious, as he had never specifically looked into it before.
Xi Yue muttered, "You either have to endure intense pressure or keep fighting."
"Intense pressure?
The stronger the pressure, the greater the increase in battle force? "Lu Yin asked.
Xi Yue frowned, "From now on, you're not allowed to say another word. In return, I'll tell you some general knowledge about battle force."
"Alright, I'll stop talking," Lu Yin said helplessly.
Xi Yue licked her dry lips and thought of something. She took out a drink from her cosmic ring and took a sip, "Battle force comes from the core of the human body. Generally speaking, the human body has limitless potential, and the greater the pressure, the stronger the battle force. Humans are like springs, they either collapse or resist, and fighting is the best way to strengthen battle force. You've just awakened your battle force, so it's called rudimentary battle force. Battle force is divided by lines, and the highest known is nine-lined battle force, while the lowest is rudimentary battle force like yours …"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, nine-lined battle force?
It was rumored that a powerhouse with battle force could crush the heavens, so was this nine-lined battle force?
