"Wait, what Realm Master and Area Master?
What does that mean? "Lu Yin frowned.
Craynor was confused. "You don't know what Realm Master and Area Master mean?"
Lu Yin snorted. "Cut the crap. Just tell me."
Craynor coughed and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before panting slightly. "The Astral Combat Academy holds the key to the Three Realms and Six Daos, and there are many mysterious training grounds in the Three Realms and Six Daos. Powerful students can control these training grounds and obtain great benefits. Those who can control an entire training ground are called Realm Masters, and those who can control a famous training ground are called Area Masters. You've never been to the Three Realms and Six Daos?"
Lu Yin muttered to himself, so this was what the Three Realms and Six Daos were like. "Are Area Masters very strong?"
Craynor sneered. "Strong?
That's not enough to describe it. Every training ground only has a few famous training grounds, and only the powerhouses who control these training grounds are qualified to be called Area Masters. Every training ground has thousands of elite students vying for supremacy, and these students aren't just Melders. There are also quite a few Limiteers who can snatch the position of Area Master from these powerhouses. Tell me, isn't that strong? "
"You're ranked second on the Blaze Realm's rankings, but the person ranked first actually became an Area Master? Is he that much stronger than you?" Lu Yin was confused.
Craynor was speechless, as this was something he had always been depressed about. Jared was much stronger than him, and not only was he a Limiteer, but he had also defeated many powerhouses to obtain the position of Area Master. Craynor did he know Jared's limits.
"What about the Realm Master?
Who's that? "Lu Yin was curious. How terrifying was it to be able to control an entire training ground?
Lu Yin hadn't even obtained the qualifications to enter a training ground.
Craynor's eyes flashed with fear at the mention of the Realm Master. "The Realm Master's name is Feng Shang, and he's the strongest student in Astral-8. He's also a member of the Council of Astral Academy. He founded the Gale Sect and stands at the peak of the Dao of Illusion."
"Council of Astral Academy?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Craynor said, "The Astral Academy is divided into ten academies, but there's a Council of Astral Academy that governs the entire academy. Only Realm Masters can join it. It's a subordinate organization to the Ten Arbiters Council, and it has the authority to request the Council."
"Can it meet the Ten Arbiters?" Craynor.
Craynor nodded. "In theory, yes."
"How?" Lu Yin asked.
Craynor replied, "I've already said that only those who have reached the Realm Master level can join. In theory, one person from each academy can join, but it's been hundreds of years, and the Council has always maintained nine members. Your Astral-10 has already been separated from the Council for hundreds of years."
Lu Yin fell silent.
"Rumor has it that your Astral-10 has been exiled to the Outerverse. Although it was the Ten Arbiters Council that made the decision, the topic of discussion came from the student council. The student council then reported the topic to the Ten Arbiters Council, and in the end, the Ten Arbiters decided that Astral-10 should be exiled. Speaking of which, you should really thank the student council. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the chance to join Astral-10," Craynor mocked.
Lu Yin raised a hand and smacked Craynor's head. "If you want to speak, then speak. Don't be so sarcastic."
Craynor was furious, but since he could not defeat Lu Yin, he could only endure it.
"Tell me about Jared. How strong is he?" Lu Yin was curious. He had a premonition that he would definitely meet this person in the future.
Craynor shook his head. "I don't know. Jared is the strongest descendant of the Blaze Realm, and the Blaze Realm has used all of their cultivation resources on him. I only know that he must have learned the Blaze Realm's ancient battle technique, the Karmic Flame Sword. As for what he obtained in Astral-8, I don't know. Plus, he's an Area Master, so no one knows what he obtained in the Dao of Illusions. No one has ever forced him to use his true strength."
Lu Yin's expression turned serious. This person was more troublesome than he had imagined. The Karmic Flame Sword was not simple, and the Blaze Realm had been able to survive in the Innerverse for countless years. This battle technique must have been very useful, and there was also the Dao of Illusions, one of the Six Daos.
"Is Feng Shang the Realm Master of the Dao of Illusions?
Does that mean that the Dao of Illusions belongs to Astral-8? "Lu Yin asked.
Craynor shook his head. "Aside from the Three Realms, the other Six Daos all have people from their respective academies. However, Astral-8 mainly focuses on the Dao of Illusions. This is a tacit agreement between the Six Academies. Every academy focuses on a single Dao, and anyone who tries to snatch more will definitely incur everyone's wrath."
Lu Yin was unhappy. The Three Realms had been split between the first three academies, and the remaining Six Daos had been split between the Six Academies. Astral-10 had nothing to do with the division. It was no wonder that Astral-10 had set a rule that only those who had won a hundred ported battles could enter the trial zones. The other nine academies had already split their territories, so any student from Astral-10 would definitely be unlucky if they entered. They would either be laughed at or directly expelled.
"I've already said so much. Can you return my things now?" Craynor asked.
Lu Yin casually tossed the red crystal card back to Craynor. He really did not care about the Blaze Realm's battle techniques, as he had not even fully learned his own. Unless it was a truly top-notch battle technique, he did not care. If it was the Karmic Flame Sword, then he would not return it so easily.
"How much money do you have in these cards?" Lu Yin asked.
Craynor gritted his teeth, and his expression turned ugly. "Seventy thousand star crystals."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, and he could not help but laugh. He was rich again! Including Xi Yue's, he now had nearly 150,000 star crystals on him, which was a huge sum.
Robbing was still the fastest way, especially for the elite students of the Innerverse. They were rich, unlike the students of the Great Yu Empire who only had a few star crystals. "Not bad, not bad. Feel free to challenge me again," Lu Yin encouraged.
As he spoke, he took out a sign and wrote down the rules of the spar. Just like Craynor, the loser had to hand over their cosmic ring. He knew that there would definitely be a lot of bored students who would come looking for trouble, but he was too lazy to explain the rules.
Craynor's chest tightened when he saw the rules, and he coughed again. This time, there was even a trace of blood. He glared fiercely at Lu Yin before turning to leave.
"Feel free to come again," Lu Yin called out with a smile.
Craynor coughed again and ran away impatiently. Today had been a nightmare for him; he had never thought that Astral-10 would have such a strong person whose strength surpassed all Melders. Unless that person made a move, there were not many Melders who could be this person's match.
As he watched Craynor disappear, Lu Yin's smile faded, replaced by a solemn expression.
The other powerhouses from the other academies had not expected this. They had thought that after becoming a Melder, Lu Yin's physical body and battle force would allow him to dominate the world. However, based on Craynor's description, he was still far from being able to do so. He might not even be able to defeat an Area Master, let alone a Realm Master. There were still the top three academies that dominated the Three Realms, and there would only be more powerhouses there.
I'm still too slow. I need to get stronger as soon as possible, Lu Yin thought to himself.
A tall figure had appeared behind him at some point. His body was naked, and his muscles were bulging. His body was covered in scars, and he quietly looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin turned around, and his expression changed when he saw the figure. He then thought of something and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Sandmaster."
The tall figure was the Sandmaster. "Kid, you've comprehended battle force and have barely gained the recognition of the Sand Ocean. You can choose a battle technique, and I'll help you deduce it."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, as he had forgotten about this. If the Rain Observatory could gain recognition, then so could the Sand Ocean. Battle force was a sign of recognition, and the requirements were much higher than the Rain Observatory. "Thank you, Sandmaster."
"Tell me, what battle technique?" The Sandmaster's expression was solemn as he quietly looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was silent for a long time, and then he looked up and solemnly said, "Flash."
The Sandmaster's eyes narrowed. "Let me see."
Lu Yin exerted strength in his calves, and his body vanished.
His current Flash was different from what Peach had taught him. He had incorporated some of White Flash's techniques into it, increasing his speed slightly. It was enough to deal with a normal Melder or even a Limiteer, but Lu Yin would never forget the scene of him being sealed by someone else's star energy during the ported battle. He did not want to repeat that and wanted to increase his Flash's speed again.
The Sandmaster was shocked when he saw the Daynight clan's footwork battle technique. This kid had truly surprised him. Lu Yin had a terrifying innate physical gift, a sealed body, and the technique that Guan Yu had mentioned. Now, he even had the Daynight clan's battle technique. Very good, very smart, but too bad it was too messy.
"Kid, do you know that when the body breaks through a certain limit, it will bring about different changes?"
The Sandmaster asked calmly as he placed a hand on Lu Yin's shoulder. "Let me see your limit." The Sandmaster exerted strength with one hand, causing Lu Yin to feel a sharp pain in his shoulder. The scene in front of him changed, and the desert disappeared as if he was teleporting. No, it wasn't the desert that had teleported, but Lu Yin himself. His eyes could not keep up with the changes as he moved too quickly. A series of afterimages slowly disappeared behind him, and spatial cracks even appeared on both sides of him.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank. Spatial cracks?
This wasn't something that a Melder could achieve. What kind of speed was this that could tear the void apart?
The Sandmaster was shocked as well. This kid's body had yet to reach its limit, and the Sandmaster liked it. He thought to himself as he increased his speed.
Pain spread throughout Lu Yin's body as his skin slowly cracked open. Spatial cracks streaked past him like water, and he caught a glimpse of Michelle before disappearing in an instant.
Suddenly, everything in front of him went still, and Lu Yin vomited. He had fainted because his speed had been too fast for his body to keep up.
The Sandmaster was astonished. After the seal had been removed, Lu Yin's body had become so terrifying that few Melders could compare to him. This person's family might be extremely powerful, but where did they come from?
Lu Yin could not tell, as there were no obvious characteristics. The few families with powerful bodies all had obvious characteristics.
After vomiting for a while, Lu Yin finally recovered. His face was a little pale, and he smiled bitterly. "Sandmaster, that was too fast."
The Sandmaster calmly replied, "That was the limit of what your brain can handle. Feel it for yourself. By the way, your body has yet to reach its limit."
Lu Yin was shocked. "I can do that?"
The Sandmaster gazed into the depths of the desert. "Footwork battle techniques require a high level of physical strength. Your body is very strong, and you should be able to achieve it if you use it properly. Feel it for yourself." With that, he vanished.
Lu Yin muttered to himself and then sat down to carefully experience the extreme speed and physical reaction he had just experienced.
The Sandmaster had just left when his expression changed. He looked into the distance, muttered to himself, and then stepped into the void.
