Soon after, Lu Yin's figure appeared and looked down at Rou Daynight, his eyes filled with an endless chill.
Many students were shocked to see Lu Yin. Everyone knew who he was; he was one of the top four in the tournament and an absolute powerhouse.
Rou Daynight's heart sank when she saw him. She had heard from her clansmen that Nightqueen Yanqing had recently made a move against Lu Yin in an attempt to block his path to the Council of Astral Academy. She did not know the details, but she had a bad feeling about why this person had appeared in the Forest Forest.
"From now on, this place no longer belongs to you." Lu Yin's tone was cold and merciless.
Rou Daynight was enraged. "Lu Yin, you dare attack my Daynight clan?
Do you know what the Daynight clan means? "
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. "I don't need to know." He then pressed down with a single palm, causing a violent shockwave to roll out. He had used a Nine Stacks, Fifteen-Fold Shockwave Palm, and Rou Daynight was instantly killed without even being able to resist.
Even if Lu Yin had still been a Melder, he could still easily kill Rou Daynight. This was the difference between them.
The surrounding students stared blankly at the scene, as they had no idea what had just happened. Only a few students had heard rumors that the Daynight clan had made a move against Lu Yin.
There was only one Rou Daynight in the Dao of Heaven. His next target was Tiankong Daynight in the Dao of Slaughter.
News of Rou Daynight's death quickly spread, and by the time Tiankong Daynight received the news, Lu Yin had already appeared.
"Lu Yin, are you really going to go against my Daynight clan?" Tiankong Daynight was terrified, as Lu Yin was giving him too much pressure.
Tiankong Daynight tried to escape, but he failed. The difference between the two was too great, and he was easily killed. Lu Yin's next target was the Undying Realm, which was the trial zone with the most Daynight clan members. The Realm Master there was Nightqueen Yanqing.
The Astral Combat Academy was in an uproar. Lu Yin had killed two Area Masters of the Daynight clan and even declared that the Daynight clan could not enter the trial zones. This was basically declaring war on the Daynight clan, and it had been many years since their authority had been challenged.
When Kuang Wang heard the news, he nearly spat out a mouthful of water. He could not believe it. "Lu Yin is challenging the entire Daynight clan?"
"He's trying to expel all Daynight clan members from the trial zones. He's gone crazy!" a female student exclaimed. She was one of the students who had been training in the Forest Forest, and she had personally witnessed Lu Yin crush Rou Daynight.
Liu Xiaoyun had also heard the news, and she frowned. The Astral Combat Academy was bustling with activity. Just what was Lu Yin trying to do? He could suppress the Daynight clan in the Astral Combat Academy, but what about after he left?
The Daynight clan was a powerful clan that dominated the universe. Lu Yin's actions were too unwise. Hold on. Liu Xiaoyun stood up, and her eyes flickered. Lu Yin was not an idiot. Since he dared to act against the Daynight clan, he definitely had something to rely on. What was that something?
This was Lu Yin's first time in the Undying Realm. The Three Realms and Six Daos were equally famous in the Nine Trial Zones, but the Three Realms surpassed the Six Daos. This place would belong to Astral-10 in the future.
Not too far away, a figure dashed into the distance. It was a Daynight clan disciple who had bumped into Lu Yin as soon as he had arrived. Now, word had spread that Lu Yin was attacking the Daynight clan, and he hurriedly avoided Lu Yin.
However, it was intercepted by Lu Yin, who raised a palm and slammed down.
The man was filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he would have immediately left the Undying Realm. Now that things had turned out this way, there was no way for him to withdraw from the battle, and he had been killed by Lu Yin's palm.
Star energy spread out from Lu Yin's body as he searched for a student.
Soon enough, a student was caught by Lu Yin, and he bitterly took Lu Yin to the Heavenly Drum. The Heavenly Drum was the most famous training ground in the Undying Realm. Occupying the Heavenly Drum was equivalent to occupying the Undying Realm and becoming the Realm Master. Nightqueen Yanqing was the master of the Heavenly Drum.
At this moment, one Daynight clan member after another entered the Undying Realm and gathered at the Heavenly Drum.
It wasn't just the Daynight clan; many other students had arrived as well. More and more people gathered around the Heavenly Drum, waiting for Lu Yin's arrival.
The Heavenly Drum was a giant war drum that spanned a thousand kilometers. It was placed in the middle of a mountain range and was made from the hide of an ancient beast. It was struck once a month, and a battlefield would appear. At that moment, everyone would be able to see the ancient battlefield and see all sorts of battle techniques. The lucky ones might even be drawn into the battlefield and become one of the participants to personally experience the battle techniques. This was an inheritance.
The Heavenly Drum was the Undying Realm's greatest treasure, and it had been controlled by the Daynight clan for generations. It was precisely because of the Heavenly Drum that almost all of the Daynight clan members had joined Astral-3.
Nightqueen Yanqing was furious. She had never thought that Lu Yin would be so daring as to attack the Daynight clan and even try to steal the Heavenly Drum. Was he not afraid that she would take revenge on that slut, Zhuo Daynight?
A figure appeared in the sky. Many students looked over and saw that it was Feng Shang, Astral-8's leader and the Realm Master of the Dao of Illusion.
Feng Shang landed on the Heavenly Drum, surrounded by no less than twenty Daynight clan members. He looked at Nightqueen Yanqing with a complicated expression. "I'll repay the favor I owe you today. Regardless of whether Lu Yin attacks or not, after today, we will no longer have anything to do with each other."
Nightqueen Yanqing's gaze was cold. "Sure."
Feng Shang exhaled and closed his eyes. He did not want to make an enemy out of Lu Yin, as Lu Yin's style was to his liking. Furthermore, the Daynight clan had gone overboard this time. However, Feng Shang owed them too much, and he had to repay the favor.
Outside the Heavenly Drum, many students sighed in amazement. They were all anticipating that something big would happen today.
Wu Da had also arrived, and he was so excited that he could barely contain himself. His daily newspaper was selling very well, and he could publish two more issues of the Astral Combat Tournament. However, he did not know what to do after that. He had originally thought that he would have to wait until Grandini Mavis and the others who had defeated the academy leaders to challenge him, but he had not expected that the big news would arrive just as he was feeling vexed.
"Brother Lu, you're really my lucky star. I'll love you for ten thousand years." Wu Da was extremely excited as he stared at the Heavenly Drum. He had prepared countless exaggerated words in his heart. This battle would definitely become famous throughout the Astral Combat Academy, no, throughout the universe.
"Nightqueen Yanqing actually invited Feng Shang. Even she knows that she can't beat Lu Yin," a student nearby commented.
Wu Da hurriedly joined the conversation. This sort of discussion was a great way to increase the news, and he needed more discussion.
"Nightqueen Yanqing was defeated in the Astral Combat Tournament. It's only been two months, so she can't have improved that much. Lu Yin is different. He broke through from the Melder realm to the Limiteer realm, and his star energy suppression no longer exists. His body has also undergone a transformation, and he's become much stronger. It would be strange if she's a match for him."
"But can Feng Shang win?
He's not even in the top four. "
"Feng Shang isn't weak. If he hadn't met Starsibyl, then he might have been able to fight against Grandini Mavis. Among the ten student leaders, he's definitely in the top five."
…
Wu Da kept muttering to himself, memorizing the discussions of the people around him.
"Hey, do you guys think that Feng Shang and Nightqueen Yanqing are having an affair? Otherwise, why would he help her?" someone suddenly whispered.
When Wu Da heard this, his ears immediately perked up, and his eyes lit up. This was the gossip of the battle, and there was definitely something interesting going on.
"Don't spout nonsense. How is that possible? The Daynight clan doesn't marry outsiders. That's an inheritance rule."
"Feng Shang is the third son of the Feng family. His status isn't weak, but he's still not worthy of Nightqueen Yanqing. That's impossible."
…
Amidst the various discussions, a heavy pressure swept over. Everyone looked up and saw that Lu Yin had appeared.
On the Heavenly Drum, all of the Daynight clan members stood up and glared at Lu Yin.
Nightqueen Yanqing's gaze was cold.
Feng Shang was helpless.
Lu Yin stood in the air and looked down at the Heavenly Drum. His gaze swept across all of the Daynight clan members before finally stopping on Feng Shang's face. "Brother Feng, are you going to help the Daynight clan?"
Feng Shang smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry, Brother Lu. I owe Nightqueen Yanqing a favor, and I have to repay it today."
Lu Yin nodded. "You and I will just treat this as a sparring match. There's no need to bear grudges."
"Of course, I have no grudges with you!" Feng Shang replied loudly.
Nightqueen Yanqing frowned, and her cold purple eyes stared at Lu Yin. "You actually dared to appear and provoke the Daynight clan. This will be the most regrettable thing in your life."
"Then try to make me regret it!" Lu Yin shouted as purple battle force spread out from his body. Dark golden lines covered his body as five-lined battle force erupted from his body and he charged towards the Heavenly Drum.
At the same time, Feng Shang waved his hand, causing the world to turn green. This was his domain. On the other side, Nightqueen Yanqing released her four-lined battle force, "Nightking's Body."
Around them, more than twenty Daynight clan members leapt up and attacked Lu Yin.
Boom!
Shockwaves spread out from the Heavenly Drum, forming a hurricane that could be seen with the naked eye that swept out in all directions. It spread out from the Heavenly Drum, causing large amounts of mountains to crumble and the ground to collapse. More than ten students who were nearby were instantly torn to shreds.
The strength of this collision was shocking.
Seven Daynight clan members were annihilated, but their participation did not make much of a difference. It was mainly Feng Shang and Nightqueen Yanqing who had joined forces to block Lu Yin's attack.
In the history of the Astral Combat Academy, it was rare for two Realm Masters to join forces against a single person, but it had happened today.
Lu Yin swept out with his leg and sent Nightqueen Yanqing flying. He then turned around and slapped at Feng Shang, who responded with a palm. "Whirlwind Slash."
Back then, Feng Shang had defeated Sha with a single Whirlwind Slash. Now, the same Whirlwind Slash collided with Lu Yin's Nine Stacks, Seventeen-Fold Shockwave Palm. The first wind blade was immediately crushed, and the second wind blade was only able to block Eight Stacks. The Ninth Stacks shattered the wind blade and slammed into Feng Shang's body, sending him crashing into the Heavenly Drum with a loud bang.
Five-lined battle force was invincible, at least compared to the two people in front of him. Lu Yin had only used one move to heavily injure Feng Shang. Although it was not as shocking as when Starsibyl had instantly killed Feng Shang, it was still shocking enough.
The dozen or so Daynight clan members all used their battle techniques to attack Lu Yin.
Lu Yin snorted and disappeared with Flash. From high up in the sky, he pressed down with a palm that enveloped all of the Daynight clan members and sent them crashing to the ground. Even though there were several Area Masters among the Daynight clan members, they still could not escape the fate of being crushed to death.
Outside the Heavenly Drum, Xi Yue was shocked. Was this really Lu Yin?
Five-lined battle force was simply too invincible. The two of them had awakened their battle force at around the same time, but now, the gap between them was so great.
At that moment, Nightqueen Yanqing appeared behind Lu Yin. "Die!" Nightqueen Yanqing shouted as she punched out with her Nightking Fist.
Lu Yin turned around and raised his hand. Boom! A shockwave descended vertically and split the ground apart. It was like a slash, and a huge spatial crack extended into the distance.
Everyone looked up in shock. Lu Yin had single-handedly blocked Nightqueen Yanqing's strongest punch without even taking half a step back.
Nightqueen Yanqing's pupils shrank. How was this possible? She still remembered the battle from two months ago. Even if this person had five-lined battle force and could defeat her, it was still impossible for him to block her strongest punch so easily. That punch had been supported by her Nightking's Body and four-lined battle force.
