Lu Yin took a deep breath and stared at Xia Ziheng. "I hope that all of my enemies will be there on that day."
"Not a single one will be missing," Xia Ziheng said before leaving. Before he left, he added, "If you have any problems, go find Wu Taibai. He'll help you."
From Xia Ziheng's point of view, Lu Yin had already been labeled as a member of Shenwu Plane.
Lu Yin had no choice but to join Shenwu Plane.
Xia Ziheng left, leaving Lu Yin with a headache. Where was he supposed to invite Gu Yan to Shenwu Plane?
Even if he had a way to get Gu Yan there, how was he supposed to get him to express his goodwill?
This was simply impossible to achieve.
Gu Yan had a strange temper, and Lu Yin had seen it before. He hated the Four Way Scales even more, and it wasn't something that Lu Yin could resolve.
However, he could only grit his teeth and agree. Otherwise, he would be exposed even faster if Shenwu Plane contacted Gu Yan himself.
There was also Wu Taibai. Xia Ziheng's last sentence had been a warning that Wu Taibai would keep an eye on him.
Although Wu Taibai wasn't an Envoy, he definitely had the power to fight one. After all, he had once been a Supreme of Shenwu Plane. Perhaps in Xia Ziheng's eyes, Lu Yin, who was an expert at lockbreaking, might not be able to escape Wu Taibai's surveillance. This was the Four Way Scales' confidence.
Of course, Lu Yin could escape Wu Taibai's surveillance, but he had many things to do. He had to roll his die and go into seclusion. There might be other things to do in the Top Realm, but he couldn't always guard against Wu Taibai. Wu Taibai was one of the instructors, so they would definitely live together.
Since that was the case, Lu Yin had to make sure that Wu Taibai couldn't become one of the instructors.
Lu Yin stared at the lake in a daze when a voice came from behind him. "Sir, please guide me again."
It was Liu Que. He had been flicked away by Lu Yin's finger and couldn't even see clearly. Now that he had improved, he wanted to challenge Lu Yin again. At the very least, he wanted to see Lu Yin's moves.
Lu Yin's gaze shifted, and he turned to face Liu Que. "You have perseverance, but you don't know your own limits."
"I do," Liu Que replied stiffly. "This time, I can see your moves clearly."
Lu Yin smiled. "What if you can't see clearly?"
"If you can't see clearly, then you can't," Liu Que replied naturally.
Lu Yin shook his head. "It's annoying to be challenged all the time, especially when I'm enjoying the scenery."
"What do you want, sir?"
Liu Que asked.
Lu Yin replied, "Watch me clearly, and I'll teach you a battle technique. Once you master it, you'll be able to reverse the void and break through all battle techniques. If you can't see it clearly, then you'll have to help me do something."
Liu Que's eyes lit up. "Chaotic Void?
Deciphering combat skills?
What battle technique is that? "
Lu Yin replied, "I can tell you if you win the bet, but you'll definitely lose."
Behind Liu Que, a long sword pierced through the scabbard. He raised his hand to grab the sword hilt, causing the rocks on the ground to rise up and shatter. The sharp aura caused the surroundings to distort. Liu Que's body was faintly discernible. He was half a step into the Stellar Source Universe and half a step outside. "Mister, you can try."
"Alright, I'm going to make a move. Watch carefully." Lu Yin stared at Liu Que without moving. Suddenly, Lu Yin's voice rang out from behind Liu Que. "Did you see it clearly?"
Liu Que stared blankly at his fingers that were gripping the hilt of his sword. A very small stone was swaying in the wind. It wasn't there just a moment ago.
He looked back at Lu Yin in shock. "Sir, your strength is unimaginable."
Lu Yin laughed. "I used a battle technique that can distort the void. If even the void can be distorted, then what about your eyes?
”。
Liu Que's eyes lit up. "How can I learn that from Sir?"
"Let's not talk about that for now. You just agreed to do something for me. Does that count?"
"Of course. What is it, Sir?"
"I want you to forbid the students from choosing Wu Taibai as their training instructor. Of course, you can't reveal that I was the one who asked you to do it," Lu Yin said. This was his idea, and whether or not it would work would depend on Liu Que's actions. However, he was certain that Liu Que would not betray him.
Liu Que sheathed his sword. "Alright," he said before leaving without asking for the reason.
Lu Yin liked dealing with people like this. It was easy, simple, and trustworthy. At the same time, he was curious as to what Liu Que would do.
Liu Que was a straightforward person and did not have many tricks up his sleeve. He directly sought out the students, challenged them, and forced them to swear that they would not choose Wu Taibai as their training instructor. His goal was clear, and his methods were straightforward.
This matter quickly spread throughout the college. All the students who were seen by Liu Que swore that they would not choose Wu Taibai as the instructor to lead the team. In just a few days, half of the students had already swore. The news spread further and further in the college. Some people said that Liu Que was targeting the Divine Martial Heaven, while others said that Liu Que wanted to challenge Wu Taibai, but Wu Taibai was unwilling, so he made this move.
In short, there were all sorts of rumors.
When Lu Yin found out, he was not surprised at all. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like Liu Que's style.
Lu Yin's goal was achieved. Liu Que was like a madman, looking for students everywhere. Wu Taibai was speechless, and when he found out, he immediately sought out Liu Que to ask why Liu Que was targeting him. However, Liu Que did not say anything and simply ignored Wu Taibai.
Wu Taibai tried to stop him a few times, but Liu Que did as he pleased. Whenever Wu Taibai showed any signs of forcefully blocking him, Liu Que would unsheathe his sword. He was not afraid of fighting Wu Taibai, or rather, he wanted to fight Wu Taibai.
Some of the rumors in the academy were not groundless. After Liu Que had entered the academy, he had not only challenged Lu Yin, but Xia Shenguang and the others had also challenged the instructors. Wu Taibai was one of them, as Wu Taibai was the only Enlighter who had passed through the Eighteen Horizontal Arrays. Liu Que was very curious.
However, Wu Taibai did not accept any challenges, and after a few fruitless attempts, Liu Que gave up. Now, because of this matter, Wu Taibai was willing to fight, which made Liu Que very happy.
Unfortunately, Wu Taibai did not take action in the end.
In this manner, Liu Que searched the entire academy and made every student swear that they would not choose Wu Taibai. Only then did he give up.
Not long after that, the academy officially tallied the votes of the students and selected three instructors to lead the team.
Unsurprisingly, Wu Taibai lost without a single vote. Liu Que had not told all the students not to choose Wu Taibai, but rather, he had only searched for half of the students. The remaining students were afraid of offending Liu Que by choosing Wu Taibai and causing him trouble, so they did not choose him. As for Xia Shenguang and the others, they did not participate in the voting at all, which resulted in Wu Taibai not receiving a single vote.
Lu Yin and the rest of the instructors watched from a distance. He had not expected Liu Que to be so ruthless and efficient. He recalled that Wu Taibai had specifically sought him out to discuss the selection of students. Life was truly unpredictable.
Mr. Huai sucked in a breath of cold air. "Mr. Wu actually did not receive a single vote. Liu Que is really ruthless. Did Mr. Wu offend him?"
Wu Taibai smiled calmly. "He wanted to challenge me, but I refused."
Mr. Huai sighed. "He's still too young and impulsive."
Wu Taibai did not receive a single vote, and Lu Yin had assumed that Mr. Zheng would replace him. As for himself and Mr. Tang, the votes from before had already been secured.
Many people had fallen because of that vote, and Wu Taibai had also been secured. He had been forcefully pushed down by Liu Que.
The results were unexpected, and the person who replaced Wu Taibai was not Mr. Zheng, but Mr. Wei. Even President Wen was astonished. "Is Mr. Wei that popular among the students?"
Mr. Wen Junior was helpless. "Those who voted for Mr. Wei are all boys."
President Wen shook his head. "No wonder." He then looked at Mr. Wen Junior. "Look at you. Even a woman dressed as a man is more attractive than you."
Mr. Wen Junior's face reddened, and he did not look at President Wen.
The final results of the voting were out. The instructors who would lead the team were Lu Yin, Mr. Tang, and Mr. Wei. Even though Mr. Wei had refused once again, the rules were the rules. Since the students had chosen him, he had to go.
President Wen immediately called three people over. "The students will first choose the instructors who will lead the team, and the instructors will also have the right to choose the students. Each of you will choose twenty-five students to participate in the training, and I will choose the remaining twenty-five. A total of a hundred students will represent Yi Xian Academy and head to the Four Cardinal Scales."
"President, this is too childish. Mr. Wei himself doesn't want to lead the team, so how can he make such a choice? If anything happens in the Top Realm, the students won't have anyone to protect them." Mr. Zheng came over, wanting to replace Mr. Wei.
Mr. Wei also said, "It's best if Mr. Zheng can replace him."
Mr. Zheng apologized to Mr. Wei. "It's not that I'm looking down on Mr. Wei, but he's a professor of history. This training of the Four Cardinal Scales is no small matter, and it can't be taken lightly. Please forgive me."
Mr. Wei smiled. "I understand."
President Wen barked, "What do you take the academy's rules for?
What do you take the students' feelings for? "
Everyone fell silent.
President Wen looked at Mr. Wei. "No matter the reason, since the students have chosen you, you should go. Luck is part of one's strength, and everyone has qualities that surpass others, whether good or bad. Our academy is not a battlefield where powerhouses charge at the front." He then looked at Mr. Zheng. "You may leave. Since the decision has been made, it cannot be changed."
Mr. Zheng was helpless. "Yes, President."
After Mr. Zheng left, President Wen glanced at Lu Yin and the other two. "Remember, the academy is the academy. No matter what happens in the outside world, we stand on the side of the instructors. This will never change."
…
There was still a month before the training, and Lu Yin finally managed to select twenty-five students with Nong Siniang's help. He handed the list to the president and then prepared to roll his die.
He wanted to know what was going on with the Four Cardinal Scales.
If the Four Cardinal Scales wanted to use the Star Alliance to lure the Forgotten Ruins Deity into action, then the news could not be sealed, and it would definitely leak out. However, those who could access this information could not be of a low level, as it would easily arouse the Forgotten Ruins Deity's suspicion.
The people that Lu Yin could merge with were all Envoys, which was neither high nor low.
The only problem was that it was not easy to roll Enhance, and it was not easy to control which person it would merge with. It might even merge with a cultivator from the Sixth Mainland, which would be completely useless.
With complicated feelings, Lu Yin raised his hand, and the die appeared. It slowly spun as he tapped it. Five.
Five o 'clock. He shook his head. There were many talented students and mentors in the academy, but getting close to someone out of nowhere and even touching them would cause trouble. Again … One o' clock … Six o 'clock … Wait … Before he could even react, his consciousness had already appeared in that dark space.
