At that moment, the ten student leaders also realized that something was wrong. Astral-1's leader's eyes flickered as he realized that he had misjudged this woman.
Xue Liuyun frowned.
Liu Yin had a strange look on his face; since when did Astral-9 have such a freak?
Even he could feel the sense of danger that was looming over him.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed; this woman was not simple.
As an assassin, Calcifer had plenty of patience, but this woman was different. After waiting for a while, she saw that Calcifer did not make a move. Finally, she looked over and slowly raised her hand. With a wave of her hand, a gale appeared out of nowhere and swept through the arena plains. The gale was grey in color.
Calcifer's scalp suddenly went numb, as this was a sign of extreme danger. Without thinking, he appeared behind the woman, intending to end this match as quickly as possible.
The woman still did not move and just stood there. Calcifer's innate gift enhanced star energy dagger stopped a centimeter away from the woman's neck. His clothes began to decay, followed by his hair and skin. Finally, his entire body decayed and turned into dust that fell to the ground.
Everyone was silent, as they had been shocked countless times by this match. This time, however, their shock was tinged with fear. What was this?
A living person was gone, just like that?
Feng Shang suddenly stood up and stared at the woman in disbelief. "Ji Feng, this is Ji Feng."
"What's Ji Feng?" Kuang Wang asked.
Feng Shang solemnly replied, "It's a battle technique that's been lost for a long time. The wind of the four seasons decays everything, so this battle technique should have been lost. How did she learn it?"
Lu Yin was shocked. Wind of the four seasons and decay … Could it be related to the domain of time?
"This Astral Combat Tournament has really attracted a bunch of monsters. Calcifer is very strong and can instantly kill an Area Master, but he can't do anything against these monsters," Dao Bo exclaimed.
Lu Yin glanced at him; these people were the real monsters in everyone's eyes. Assassinating Starsibyl did not mean that they were strong; they were just arrogant. Calcifer did not give Lu Yin the same sense of danger that Liu Shaoqiu had, but this woman was different; she was a potential threat.
The fourth match ended with the shock caused by this woman called Chao Zhi, and the fifth match was set to take place in twelve hours.
Lu Yin immediately left the Lifeseek Realm and appeared in the trial zone mountain.
Many people had already left. After such a long match, even the spectators were tired, but it had all been worth it. There were too many powerhouses, too many battle techniques, and even four-lined battle force had appeared.
Countless people in front of their screens, as the match's progress had caught everyone's attention. Only now did they realize how tired they were and hurriedly rested...
On Astral-10's trial zone mountain, Lu Yin opened his eyes and immediately saw Michelle, who had awakened at the same time. She saw Lu Yin as well, and the two looked at each other. Aside from a trace of confusion in her eyes, there was no other expression on her face.
Coco opened her eyes as well, and she happily ran over when she saw him. "Brother Lu, we thought you were dead. Was what happened at the pirate port true?"
.........................
Coco stuck out her tongue. "I also think that it's fake. My mentor said that the power of that beam is enough to kill an Explorer. You're just a Melder, so even a scratch would be enough to kill you." Coco suddenly sized him up and asked expectantly, "Brother Lu, are you injured?"
"No, I'm not injured at all." Lu Yin was very straightforward and decisive, which disappointed Coco.
Big Pao and Little Pao came over as well, and they looked at Lu Yin strangely. "Junior, did you feel a lot of pressure sitting with those Realm Masters?"
Lu Yin shrugged. "It's alright. They're quite easy to get along with."
Big Pao laughed strangely. "Is that so? If you feel pressured, then just say it. We're all brothers, so there's no need to hide it."
Lu Yin smiled.
Xia Luo also appeared, and his appearance aroused Coco's admiration. He had easily defeated Jared, and his strength had astonished everyone.
Although Lu Yin had also easily killed Long Yi, Long Yi's death was not as shocking as Jared's. Of course, Big Pao's gaze towards Lu Yin became more affectionate, and he even felt touched.
"Senior Little Pao, how do you feel about being easily defeated by that delinquent from Astral-9?" Zora appeared to interview Little Pao.
Little Pao laughed dryly. "Well, the weather's pretty good today."
"Senior Little Pao, don't change the topic!" Coco shouted.
"Yeah, Senior Little Pao, don't change the topic." Silver appeared with a smile that was standard for a fox.
His appearance scared Coco so much that she jumped behind Zora like a rabbit. Even Schutz, who had just arrived, was on guard. This guy was too terrifying, and he gave off the impression of a butcher.
"Oh, everyone's here! Lu Yin, Xia Luo, and Foxy Face! Let me remind you guys, don't go easy on that bitch Grandini. Go all out and don't give her a chance to breathe," Lulu shouted as she appeared.
Lu Yin was curious. "Do you have a grudge against her?"
Lulu was unhappy. "That woman mocked me and actually called me small."
Everyone subconsciously looked towards Lulu's chest.
Lulu's face turned red, and she clenched her fists so tightly that they cracked.
Everyone felt awkward.
…
Not too far away, Hui Daynight glanced at the crowd with disdain. They were just a bunch of weaklings living in a group. The powerhouses of the Daynight Clan had always acted alone.
Zhao Yilong, Meng Yue, and Darkvoid had also woken up and were not too far away from them. They were at the trial zone mountain, waiting for the fifth battle to begin in twelve hours.
At the peak of the trial zone mountain, Liu Xiaoyun looked down. Everyone gathered around Lu Yin as soon as he appeared. This was a kind of aura, not strength, but it still attracted many people. This person had a unique charisma.
"Right, does anyone have an extra gadget? Can I borrow one?" Lu Yin asked.
Lulu generously threw one at him. "Take it and play with it."
"Wow, it's a limited edition! It's made of metal that can defend against an Explorer's attack! Just one set costs a lot!" Coco exclaimed.
The others looked at the gadget in Lu Yin's hand with envy.
Lulu raised her head. She was a Mavis, and she did not lack money.
Lu Yin was thick-skinned, and he immediately used the gadget. As for returning the money, that could wait!
After logging in, he found that many people had contacted him, including Undying Yushan, Gerbach, Coco, and the others from the academy. There were also unknown contacts. Lu Yin guessed that they were from his family, as there were over a hundred of such unknown contacts. It seemed like his family was worried about him, but there was no need for that now. The entire universe had seen his appearance.
Hmm?
There was actually someone else: Mira, the Red Lotus Witchbow.
Mira had actually contacted him, and Lu Yin subconsciously glanced at Michelle. Compared to Mira, the two were stunning beauties. However, Mira was seductive while Michelle was cold and aloof.
Back then, Mira had told him that as long as he made some achievements in the Astral Combat Academy, she would be able to recommend him to join the Outerverse Youth Council. Lu Yin fell into deep thought. The Outerverse Youth Council and the Council of Astral Academy were difficult choices to make.
Not long after, the crowd dispersed and went to rest.
Lu Yin did not think about anything else. His priority now was to settle the Astral Combat Tournament.
At the same time, at the peak of Astral-3's trial zone mountain, Nightqueen Yanqing's expression was solemn, and there was even a hint of fear in her eyes as she stared at the screen in front of her. A stalwart man looked at her. "Remember, you cannot lose the Astral Combat Tournament. No matter who you face, the Nightking clan cannot lose."
Fear flashed through Nightqueen Yanqing's eyes as she looked at the screen. "Yes."
On the screen, not far behind the stalwart man, a figure stood solemnly with his back slightly bowed. Nightqueen Yanqing did not recognize this person, but if Lu Yin was here, he would definitely recognize him as Liu Shaoge. He should have been following Qingyu, but now, he was standing behind the stalwart man.
At Astral-6's trial zone mountain, Charon woke up. Less than a thousand meters away, Frankfurt also woke up.
They were both Area Masters, and the two of them were evenly matched. However, at this moment, Frankfurt subconsciously retreated when he met Charon's gaze. The Astral Combat Tournament had clearly shown everyone's strength. Frankfurt could only be considered an ordinary Area Master, while Charon was definitely at the top. He could even fight against a Realm Master.
Twelve hours quickly passed, and the group once again appeared in the Lifeseek Realm.
In the first battle, a Realm Master appeared.
Nightqueen Yanqing against Qu Feng.
Qu Feng's battles were very strange. Darkvoid and Bonny Phoenix were not weak, but they could not display their full strength against Qu Feng. His attacking style came from the Erudite Flowzone, and he was modest and amiable. He indeed had the style of a scholar.
Scholars focused on righteousness, while the Daynight clan's style was slightly darker. Qu Feng's expression turned solemn when he faced Nightqueen Yanqing.
"Use your domain," Nightqueen Yanqing said the moment she appeared in the arena plains.
Qu Feng's expression turned solemn, and his star energy transformed into a brush. Black, ink-like star energy spread out as a peculiar undulation swept through the area.
The crowd stared at this scene, as they were no stranger to it. Darkvoid and Bonny had both been defeated at this moment, and they had not even been able to use their innate gifts.
Nightqueen Yanqing's eyes were filled with disdain. "Your domain is very strong, but do you think that it can seal my Nightking clan?
The people from the Erudite Flowzone are still so naive. "She then charged towards Qu Feng and swept out with her leg. Purple veins spread out in the air as an incomparably powerful four-lined battle force erupted and crushed everything in its path, including Qu Feng. Even the arena plains were blasted apart.
Countless people were stunned. Four-lined battle force! Another four-lined battle force from the Nightking clan!
Nightqueen Yanqing's strength shocked countless people. This was a powerhouse from the Nightking clan, someone who could instantly kill an expert who had reached this stage.
Atop the high peak, Han Chong shook his head. Qu Feng's domain was too one-sided. It had infinitely strengthened his battle technique and tried in vain to seal everything. However, against a powerhouse who surpassed him, he could only be instantly killed.
Nightqueen Yanqing returned to the high peak. At this moment, she seemed to be beginning to display the strength of the Nightking clan. The Daynight clan did not only have battle techniques.
The next match was Feng Shang's, and he easily won. The next match was Tu Bo's, who also won easily. His water flow seemed soft, but it was indestructible.
The fourth match attracted everyone's attention. Astral-1's student leader was up next, and her opponent was Liu Tang.
Liu Tang was one of the Sword Sect's most outstanding disciples, and his battle prowess was enough to shock many people. Astral-1's student leader was even more mysterious, and no one knew her name.
