Lu Yin was shocked. He knew that the Sirius Technique was not simple, but it had actually surpassed the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect was the sect at the helm of the Innerverse's number one Flowzone and could be considered the strongest sect in the Human Domain. What sect could surpass it?
"The average person cannot see the Sirius Technique, but through the live broadcast, there will definitely be people in the entire universe who will discover traces of this technique. You did the right thing by not revealing it, but the next few opponents you will face will all be very powerful. You will have to make a choice beforehand. Do you want to reveal this technique and fight for your chance of victory, or do you want to keep it hidden and fight head-on?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. He had considered this question before, but he had not come to a decision. "Mentor, what will happen if that sect discovers that I know this technique?"
The Trialmaster's lips curled up. "You want to know if Astral-10 will protect you."
Lu Yin felt awkward.
The Trialmaster continued, "I can tell you that Astral-10 will definitely protect you. Not just Astral-10, but the entire Astral Combat Academy will protect you."
Lu Yin relaxed. That's good.
"But they definitely won't be able to protect you." The Trialmaster changed the topic and spoke in a strange tone.
Lu Yin was stunned and looked at the Trialmaster, not knowing what to say.
"That sect is called the Sirius Sect, and it's one of the strongest sects in the entire Human Domain. You've experienced the power of the Sirius Technique, so you should understand how terrifying it is. Who do you think can stop it?
Any random elder from that sect can sweep through the Innerverse and Outerverse, so don't expect anyone to protect you, "the Trialmaster said casually.
Lu Yin was helpless. "I understand, Mentor. I won't reveal this technique."
The Trialmaster looked at Lu Yin and raised a finger. "Next match. As long as you don't reveal it in the next match, you don't have to worry."
"Why?" Lu Yin was confused.
The Trialmaster closed his eyes and began to rest.
Lu Yin was confused. What was so special about the next match?
He did not understand, but he shook his head and did not think too much about it. He stepped into the trial zone mountain and waited for the seventh match to draw lots.
At the same time, in Astral-3, Nightqueen Yanqing was bowing to the young man on the screen, not even daring to raise her head.
"Remember, think of a way to deal with that Lu Yin. Someone who is immune to the Sword Sect's Third Sword should not exist. I've already spoken to those old fellows from the Astral Combat Academy. Your next opponent's next match.......
Nightqueen Yanqing firmly replied, "Yes."
"Are you confident?" the man asked Nightqueen Yanqing.
Nightqueen Yanqing's gaze turned cold. "I've already cultivated the Nightking's Body, so he'll definitely lose."
The man nodded in satisfaction. "The Sword Sect's Third Sword deals extreme damage to one's mind, while the Nightking's Body deals extreme damage to one's physical body. He might be immune to the Third Sword, but he won't be able to resist the Nightking's Body. The next battle will be the final battle, and I want you to beat him until his mind collapses."
Nightqueen Yanqing clenched her fists. "Yes."
Soon, the seventh round of the drawing of lots was about to begin.
The plains were restored once again, and even the peak was perfectly reconstructed. However, it was not within the plains, but outside the plains.
The battle below was too intense, and destroying the plains was a common occurrence. The mentors were not stupid.
"What's the point of having that peak? It's an eyesore." Some students were dissatisfied.
Someone beside him said, "That's a benchmark. Only the winner can climb up. This is an example that the academy has set up for all the students, and it's also for the countless people in the universe to see."
"To put it bluntly, he's just showing off." Big Pao popped out of nowhere and interjected.
…
On the peak, one figure after another appeared. Of the top eight, aside from Grandini Mavis, the rest were all student leaders from their respective academies. So many genius powerhouses had appeared, but seven of the ten student leaders had remained. The Astral Combat Academy was very satisfied with this result. Of course, the inevitable battles between the student leaders were about to begin.
The first battle was between Starsibyl and Feng Shang.
When Feng Shang saw that his opponent was Starsibyl, his face immediately turned bitter. He had plenty of battle experience, and he was not afraid of anyone. He even dared to fight Liu Shaoqiu, but he did not know where to begin against Starsibyl, as he had no idea how to attack her.
Starsibyl smiled at Feng Shang. "I don't recall that we've ever fought before. This is our first time."
Feng Shang was speechless. "If I'd known that I would be facing you in this battle, I would have pestered you for ten or even a hundred rounds."
Starsibyl smiled. "Battle experience is useless against me, because my attack is based on divination and seeing the future."
Feng Shang rolled his eyes. Only an idiot would believe that.
Soon, the battle between the two began on the arena plains.
Lu Yin and the rest stared at the arena below, all of them looking at Starsibyl. What secrets did her attack hold?
Not long after, everyone was shocked to see that all of Feng Shang's attacks had missed. Even if he used his domain to cover the entire arena plains in an attempt to suppress Starsibyl, it was useless. Starsibyl really seemed to be able to predict the future, and she was always able to dodge his attacks before he did, causing his attacks to miss.
Not long after, Feng Shang's face paled. Starsibyl was clearly right in front of him, but he could not hit her. This feeling was so stifling that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Hey, can't you just hit me twice?" Feng Shang could not help but shout.
Starsibyl smiled. "Sure." She then fluttered towards Feng Shang.
Feng Shang pressed down with his palm. "Whirlwind Slash," which had defeated Sha. Now that he was facing Starsibyl, Feng Shang did not hold back at all. He slapped out with his palm, and a spinning wind blade tore through the void in an all-encompassing attack.
However, the result was still the same. The wind blade pierced through Starsibyl and landed on the ground, creating a giant crater in the arena plains. "It's not over yet." Feng Shang flipped his hand and sent out another palm. This time, there was not just one Whirlwind Slash; there was another in his palm.
However, Starsibyl still managed to dodge it. This time, however, she did not completely avoid it. Instead, she brushed past Feng Shang.
The arena fell silent as everyone stared in shock at Feng Shang's slowly dissipating body. A chill ran down their spines; just how had she attacked?
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, as he still could not understand. This woman was not fast, but she had been able to easily dodge Feng Shang's extremely fast attack. He had clearly not seen her attack method, but she had still been able to instantly kill Feng Shang. What was going on?
Han Chong and Nightqueen Yanqing were similarly puzzled; Starsibyl was just too mysterious.
Outside the arena plains, Liu Shaoqiu's eyes flickered as he stared at Starsibyl. Out of all the students, he was the only one who had felt a trace of an attack intent. It was very similar to the Third Sword's, but it was even more obscure. It was no wonder why the Sword Sect's headmaster had said that Liu Shaoqiu's main opponent in the Astral Combat Tournament would be Starsibyl. This woman was definitely the best opponent for the Third Sword. It was a pity that Lu Yin had appeared out of nowhere.
As he thought about this, Liu Shaoqiu's gaze swept towards Gao Feng.
Lu Yin frowned, but he suddenly felt Liu Shaoqiu's gaze on him. He turned around, and the two stared at each other. In that instant, Lu Yin seemed to have thought of something, and he looked back at Starsibyl. Could her attack be similar to the Third Sword?
Starsibyl returned to her seat on the high peak and smiled at the crowd. She appeared very mysterious.
Lu Yin retracted his thoughts, as it was possible. That spiritual force attack was invisible and formless. Based on Starsibyl's mysteriousness, it was possible for her to use such a move. It was both useful and grand. It was a pity that Lu Yin only knew the Daynight Punch, which was not very useful.
Soon, the second opponent appeared: Han Chong and Liu Xiaoyun.
Han Chong was also very mysterious, and his battle with Xia Ye was especially puzzling. Hua Hua's battle style was clearly very gentle, but it had become unfathomable.
Many people looked at Liu Xiaoyun, as they did not know how far she could push Han Chong.
"At this point in the competition, everyone's bottom line is pretty much clear. You're not my opponent," Han Chong said calmly on the arena plains.
Liu Xiaoyun gripped her sword hilt tightly. "At the very least, we need to know the difference in strength."
Han Chong casually waved his hand. "Everyone calls me the Art Saint, so I'll paint a vast landscape for you to destroy." He then used his star energy to draw a picture in front of him. Mountains, rivers, forests, thatched cottages, and more formed a landscape painting that used star energy as ink.
Liu Xiaoyun gripped her sword hilt tightly, and a shockwave spread out from beneath her feet that gradually covered the entire arena plains. This was her domain, a world of the sword, and her attack range covered the entire arena plains.
Han Chong's landscape painting grew wider and wider until it also covered the entire arena plains.
As the endless rain of swords rained down, countless cracks appeared in the void as they collided with the landscape painting. The scene before everyone's eyes warped, and even though the void had been shattered, the landscape painting was still able to hold it in place, blocking the countless spatial cracks.
This scene was quite spectacular, as the attack that covered the entire arena plains was enough to easily crush an Area Master. In an instant, the arena plains that had been repaired shattered once again. Lu Yin frowned.
Liu Xiaoyun's attack range was very large, and she was trying to use it to make up for the difference in speed. Unfortunately, her attacks were too scattered, and while each attack was enough to instantly kill an Area Master, they were not strong enough to seriously injure a Realm Master. This kind of power could not even compare to Liu Shaoqiu's First Sword. It was no wonder why she was so far away from the Sword Sect. Although she was Liu Shaoqiu's older sister, everyone in the Sword Sect would compare her to Liu Shaoqiu.
Liu Shaoqiu frowned as well, as this endless rain of swords made him feel rather uncomfortable. This sister of his had chosen the wrong path.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoyun slashed at Han Chong.
Many people suddenly thought of Tu Bo, who had been instantly killed by this attack.
This attack was an imitation of the Thirteen Swords.
Han Chong's eyes flashed, and he waved a hand, summoning a tall mountain from the landscape painting. It was instantly split apart, but Liu Xiaoyun's attack was also canceled out.
"Not a bad attack, but it's useless against me," Han Chong commented.
Liu Xiaoyun sheathed her sword. "I've lost." With that, she left the Lifeseek Realm.
She had used all of her strength, but Han Chong had not done much. The difference between them was obvious.
In the first two battles, two academy leaders had been defeated, and the third battle was between Grandini Mavis and Dao Bo.
Many people looked towards the peak, where there were only two people left: Lu Yin and Nightqueen Yanqing.
The scene was very similar to the previous battle, and Lu Yin was also in the last battle.
Nightqueen Yanqing was not surprised, as that person had already informed her of the outcome. She had also analyzed Lu Yin's power level and simulated it multiple times, and she was certain to win.
Lu Yin glanced at Nightqueen Yanqing. Was this a coincidence?
He had actually gone up against someone from the Nightking clan. Liu Xiaoyun had warned him to be careful of the Nightking clan. Could this be a test?
