"Remember, don't provoke me again, or I'll cripple you." He then threw Hui Daynight into the wall. "Don't provoke me again," he said coldly, "or I'll cripple you."
Hui Daynight clutched his fingers in pain and stared at Lu Yin in shock. Why was he unable to retaliate every time he faced Lu Yin? This shouldn't be the case, as he was a member of the Daynight clan.
Lu Yin walked over to the teleportation device and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Hui Daynight and asked, "Is there a woman called Zhuo Daynight in your Daynight clan?"
Hui Daynight painfully replied, "No."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "I don't like it when people lie to me."
Hui Daynight snorted. "I don't care about lying."
Lu Yin looked at him for a while, but he didn't say anything else and stepped into the teleportation device.
He went straight to the treasury and met with Old Cai.
Old Cai smiled as he fiddled with the Giant Emperor's third eye. "Not bad, not bad. This is the Giant Emperor's third eye, a lockbreaking tool." He then tossed it to Lu Yin. "Take it. It suits you very well."
Lu Yin caught it and stored it in his cosmic ring. He was puzzled. "How did you know that this is a lockbreaking tool, Mentor?
The Daynight clan, Puyu, and the others all know about it, but the people of Umbral Butterfly Weave don't. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made hunting down the Giant Emperor a weave trial. "
Old Cai stroked his mustache. "There are many useful things in the universe, but they may not be mature when we discover them. Take this Giant Emperor's third eye for example. Do you think it's easy to create?
It's passed down from generation to generation. Every Giant Emperor passes it down to the next. When we first discovered it, it wasn't mature, and even if it was useful, it wouldn't have reached the level of a lockbreaking tool. Now that it's mature, it's yours. "
"There was once a Giant Emperor who reached the Explorer realm and tried to break through Umbral Butterfly Weave's seal, but he was killed. How could this be passed down?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Old Cai's gaze turned solemn. "Kid, remember, never underestimate any life form. That space-exploring Giant Emperor was just cannon fodder, and he had already predicted his own death. Thus, he passed this thing down to the next Giant Emperor so that the next Giant Emperor could see their situation clearly. In the end, he was just probing, and the people of Umbral Butterfly Weave didn't know that. They foolishly thought that it would be fine as long as they didn't let the Giant Emperor become an Explorer. But in reality, after that incident, no Giant Emperor ever became an Explorer...
"It's no wonder why the Giant Emperor was the first to run away when the trialtakers arrived." Lu Yin suddenly understood, and a chill ran through his heart. Although the Giant Tribe did not possess any intelligence, the Giant Emperor's intelligence could not be underestimated.
The giants only have one Giant Emperor, and the third eye is the Giant Emperor's key to breaking through the Life Aura Immortality. It's very mysterious, isn't it? All living things have their own counter to each other, and there's always a way to neutralize poison in the surroundings. The giants don't have any intelligence, but they've given birth to an extremely intelligent third eye. Take good care of it. It wasn't easy for you to snatch it from the Daynight clan and the Outerverse Council. "
Lu Yin nodded. "What should I do next, Old Cai?"
Old Cai looked at Lu Yin and suddenly laughed strangely, causing Lu Yin's hair to stand on end. "Astral-10 has been quiet for too long. The mentors have given you a mission: go to the trial zones and snatch a training ground."
Lu Yin's expression changed. "Snatch a training ground?"
Old Cai's lips curled up. "That's right. Go, snatch a training ground."
Lu Yin was speechless. "Old Cai, are you sure I can compete with those Area Masters?"
Old Cai sized Lu Yin up with a deep gaze. "I don't know. Just try. You won't die anyway."
"Those people have helpers," Lu Yin said helplessly.
Old Cai rolled his eyes. "Don't you have helpers?
Kid, do you know what it means to be a leader?
You're the leader of all the students, so you have the right to gather them. "
"They might not listen to me," Lu Yin said helplessly.
"Whether they listen or not is up to you. However, the academy will turn a blind eye to your actions because of your status as the leader. Hehehehe." Old Cai laughed strangely.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Turn a blind eye? This sentence was very tempting, and the first person he thought of was Hui Daynight. Wouldn't listen?
Then he would beat him up until he submitted. As long as the mentors didn't interfere, everything would be easy.
"Right, I have to remind you to complete your mission as soon as possible. The Astral Combat Tournament is speeding up, and those old fellows have asked the Ten Arbiters to find a group of sponsors. The cosmic network has been brought forward," Old Cai said.
Lu Yin frowned. He had already been pressured by Liu Shaoqiu's incident, but he hadn't expected the network to be brought forward. How troublesome. However, it was unreasonable for the Astral Combat Tournament to expend so many resources to connect to the cosmic network. He had already guessed this, but it might be even more complicated than he had thought.
Just as he was about to leave the treasury, Lu Yin suddenly thought of something and looked at Old Cai. "I remember that there are quite a few lockbreaking missions on the mission list. Are those sourceboxes in our academy?"
Old Cai raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry about that for now. Go snatch a training ground."
Lu Yin felt strange, but he still left.
Old Cai rolled his eyes. "What a joke. If those sourceboxes were in our academy, they would have been unlocked by the Trialmaster long ago. You wouldn't even have a chance."
After leaving the treasury, Lu Yin went straight to the trial zone entrance. There was no one under the teleportation stone except for Little Pao, who was bored out of his mind and chewing on a blade of grass.
"Senior Little Pao, long time no see," Lu Yin greeted.
Little Pao's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Yin. "You're back, Lu Yin. It's only been a few months, but you've gotten stronger."
Lu Yin smiled. "Why are you here, Senior Little Pao?"
"Boring," Little Pao laughed. "Right, are you here to enter the trial zone?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Senior, Xia Luo and the others have already entered, right?"
"It's not just Xia Luo. Everyone else has already entered."
Lu Yin was surprised. "That fast?"
"Fast?
Not really, it's just a hundred victories, not a hundred consecutive victories. You've been in the academy for more than half a year, and even if you meet a Sentinel every day, you'll still have a hundred victories in three months. Plus, they've been training under the tutelage of their mentors for a few months, so it'd be too bad if they didn't get a hundred victories. Although their win rate is a bit lower, they're still qualified to enter. "
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed. Although there weren't many Sentinels in the ported battles, it was still possible to meet a Sentinel every day. But then again, it was sad that one had to rely on luck to obtain a hundred victories.
"How are they?"
Lu Yin asked. He had been killed very quickly back then, and he was the leader. The others were probably even worse off!
Little Pao replied, "Not bad, they're all doing well."
Lu Yin blinked. "Doing well?
How so?
Weren't they surrounded? "
"They were, but it was just Schutz and Meng Yue. The others all have their own backgrounds: Myriad Swords Peak, the Mavis Family, the Council, Windrift Hall, the Daynight Clan, and so on. They all have Area Masters backing them," Little Pao said enviously.
Lu Yin quickly asked, "What about Xia Luo?
Silver? "
"Xia Luo?
He has a brother called Xia Ye, an Area Master of the Dao of Heaven's Machinery Mound. As for Silver, he also has a sworn brother called Sha, an Area Master of the Dao of Slaughter's Ice. "Little Pao patted Lu Yin's shoulder and said sympathetically," Of the twelve students, only the three of you don't have any backing, so you were surrounded as soon as you entered. However, you have a backer now; Area Master of the Dao of Purgatory, Charon, has said that he won't rest until anyone touches you. "
Lu Yin was a little depressed; everyone else was doing so well, but he was the most miserable. If he hadn't coincidentally managed to threaten Charon, he would have been surrounded as well. What kind of logic was this?
"Senior, I'll go in first," Lu Yin said gloomily.
Little Pao grunted, "Go in."
Lu Yin turned around and took out the Giant Emperor's third eye from his cosmic ring, infusing it with star energy. He then turned back to look at Little Pao, but there was no trace of him. Lu Yin was flabbergasted. "He ran pretty fast." He had a feeling that Big Pao and Little Pao were not simple and might even be very strong. He wanted to use the Giant Emperor's third eye to observe them, but unfortunately, he did not succeed. Just as he was about to put away the third eye, an old man appeared in front of him, giving him a fright.
"Greetings, Trialmaster." Lu Yin saw the old man and immediately bowed.
The Trialmaster stared at the white crescent moon crystal in Lu Yin's hand and praised, "Not bad. Did you obtain this, kid?"
Lu Yin nodded.
The Trialmaster grunted, "Use it well. It can be used for many things." He then returned to his original position.
Lu Yin bowed again and walked past the Trialmaster to enter the trial zone mountain.
This was his second time here, and the last time he had been here, there had been no one at all. This time, he saw Schutz, who seemed to be preparing to leave with a pained expression on his face.
"Were you killed?" Lu Yin asked.
Schutz nodded and looked at Lu Yin. "How's the empire?"
"It's stable, it's fine," Lu Yin replied.
Schutz lowered his voice, "Quite a few people from Yu Academy have left. The Second Prince found quite a few elites for Yu Academy, so they should have all left."
"Do you still think that Yu Academy is filled with elites after coming here?" Lu Yin teased.
Schutz fell silent. He was the strongest person in Yu Academy, but even he was ranked at the bottom here. There was no need to even mention the others. Practically none of the five Hall Masters had passed the exam, and Yu Academy was nothing compared to this place. Any Sentinel could easily sweep through Yu Academy in ported battles.
"The gap between the Innerverse and the Outerverse is too great," Schutz sighed and turned to leave.
Lu Yin spoke up, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. The mentor gave me a mission to snatch a training ground. How about we work together?"
Schutz smiled, "I thought you were smart, Lu Yin. You've been to the trial zones and even been killed by the Spear Mountain Area Master. Haven't you noticed the difference?
Or do you think that you can act without restraint just because you have Charon's support? "
Lu Yin stared at Schutz, "You're the one who hasn't noticed the difference."
Schutz was stunned; what did that mean?
This person could already challenge an Area Master?
How was that possible? It had only been four months.
"You really want to snatch a training ground?
Those Area Masters are the top powerhouses of their respective academies, and you've personally experienced how terrifying the Spear Mountain Area Master is. Besides, they don't fight alone. They have helpers, and any student who trains in their training grounds can be counted as helpers, "Schutz probed.
