Lu Yin was shocked. "The universe?"
"That's right. You should know that the Council of Astral Academy's status is equivalent to the Outerverse Youth Council. Do you think that this status is just for show?
The Astral Combat Academy is a top institution in the Innerverse, and it basically represents the Ten Arbiters Council in handling some of the Innerverse's matters. You can treat the Council of Astral Academy as the Innerverse Youth Council, and it can monitor the younger generation of the various Flowzones outside of the eight great flowzones. "
Lu Yin finally understood what kind of honor he had received. The Innerverse had eight great flowzones that occupied a large area of the Innerverse, and there were many smaller flowzones as well. Although the Council of Astral Academy had no authority over the eight great flowzones, just these smaller flowzones alone were enough to raise their status to the same level as the Outerverse Youth Council. After all, this was the Innerverse, which was fundamentally different from the Outerverse.
Dao Bo spoke up. "Don't overthink it. We're just civil servants. We have status, but we don't have the ability to carry out the orders. If we discover any problems, we still have to report them to the Ten Arbiters Council. Otherwise, just us students alone won't be able to handle the Innerverse's matters."
"Although we're civil servants, we still have a lot of authority. Some country bumpkins from the fringe weaves will never understand the concept of authority," Nightqueen Yanqing mocked.
Lu Yin did not have time to bother with her, as he now had a clearer understanding of the Ten Arbiters Council.
The Council of Ten Arbiters had two large organizations under it. One was the Outerverse Youth Council, which supervised the younger generation of the Outerverse. It could be assigned to various weaves or even major powers. For example, the Great Yu Empire had the Great Yu Empire's Youth Council, which made it easier to supervise.
The other organization was to help the Council of Ten Arbiters monitor the younger generation of the Innerverse outside of the eight great flowzones. The Council of Astral Academy did not need to carry out any tasks, and it only needed to supervise.
The Council of Ten Arbiters' main focus was on the eight great flowzones of the Innerverse.
These three organizations combined to form the Ten Arbiters Council, which could intimidate the entire universe.
"Do you have any other questions?" Starsibyl asked as she looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin asked, "What should I do?"
Starsibyl smiled. "The Ten Arbiters have decreed that Lu Yin can supervise the students of the Astral Combat Academy and the younger generation of the Northline Flowzone as a member of the Council of Astral Academy."
"Northline Flowzone?" Feng Shang was astonished, and he looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin felt that there was something wrong with Feng Shang's attitude, and he asked, "Where's the Northline Flowzone?"
"The Northline Flowzone is a Flowzone between the Blazing Mist Flowzone and the Beast Tamers Flowzone. It's roughly the size of the Frostwave Weave, and it's controlled by seventeen families. There's also Shangwu Academy. You can investigate the details yourself," Starsibyl said.
Lu Yin nodded and glanced at Feng Shang again before looking at Starsibyl. "I have a question."
"Ask away." Starsibyl's attitude towards Lu Yin was quite good, which made Nightqueen Yanqing unhappy.
"If I join the Council of Astral Academy, can I join the Outerverse Youth Council?"
The others looked at him in shock, and Nightqueen Yanqing mocked him even more. "You talk big. A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin. Do you think that the Outerverse Youth Council is the same as our student council?
The Outerverse Youth Council members are all space-exploring powerhouses, and all of them are experts in the Top 100 Rankings. What makes you think you can join? "
Dao Bo replied, "In theory, yes, as long as you have the ability."
Lu Yin grunted. "Can I meet the Ten Arbiters?"
The surrounding people fell silent.
Han Chong replied, "Not at the moment. You can't even meet us, so don't think about it for now."
Lu Yin was helpless. He knew that this was the Ten Arbiters' way of protecting their dignity, but he had not expected that he would not even be able to meet the Ten Arbiters once he joined the Council of Astral Academy.
Starsibyl gave Lu Yin a set of numbers, which was the number of her gadget. Everyone else gave Lu Yin their numbers as well, except for Nightqueen Yanqing.
Kuang Wang patted Lu Yin's shoulder and said sympathetically, "Bro, you can't mess with women, especially those from big families. Take care."
Starsibyl nodded politely at Lu Yin and then left the tower.
Everyone left one after another. Feng Shang apologized to Lu Yin once more before leaving as well, leaving only Liu Xiaoyun behind.
"Did you receive the Sword Sect's invitation?" Liu Xiaoyun asked with a strange look in her eyes.
Lu Yin stared blankly for a moment before recalling that Old Cai had indeed said, "I received it, but I have no plans to go to the Sword Sect for now."
Liu Xiaoyun did not say much, but she looked at Lu Yin with a hint of approval. Not everyone could resist the Sword Sect's temptation, especially since the Sword Sect had offered Lu Yin a relatively high position that was comparable to Liu Shaoqiu's. If the first Flowzone was a dynasty, then Lu Yin would be the crown prince if he went there. It was terrifying, but Liu Xiaoyun admired him for being able to resist the temptation.
"Right, I'm curious. Do you guys stay at the academy all year round?" Lu Yin asked.
Liu Xiaoyun shook her head. "Most of the time, we find a representative to help us deal with some matters."
"Then, what about the Flowzone that the Ten Arbiters Council gave you?"
Liu Xiaoyun looked at Lu Yin seriously and thought for a moment before replying, "I don't know how to explain it to you. Everyone's methods and attitudes are different. You have to figure it out yourself, or you can wait."
Lu Yin watched Liu Xiaoyun leave and fell into deep thought. It seemed that the Ten Arbiters Council did not have a fixed process for dealing with matters. At this moment, Lu Yin's impression of the Ten Arbiters Council was that they were a group that wanted to seize power from the middle. They wanted to control the younger generation so that they could control the future of the universe.
… …
Ten youths daring to do such a thing. How bold!
Lu Yin took a deep breath and smiled. He looked up; he had finally reached this step. A piece of paper with the surname Lu had buried seventy-two people, and all of this had been decided by the Ten Arbiters. There would be a day when he would confront those ten and have a showdown for what had happened all those years ago.
Far away in the starry sky, a large spacecraft was speeding towards the north.
The spacecraft carried the elites of the Great Yu Empire's younger generation. These people were about to undergo a trial, and those who passed would be able to join Yu Academy.
After watching the Astral Combat Academy's Astral Combat Tournament, the younger generation of the Great Yu Empire was filled with excitement and longing. They all hoped to join the Astral Combat Academy and step onto the glorious stage of the universe. King Zishan had already set an example for them, and everyone wanted to become the second King Zishan.
Jenny Auna hugged her knees as she sat in her room. Her eyes were dazed, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. She didn't know what she should do. Should she wait for Lu Yin to return and marry her, or should she search for the happiness that she had once yearned for?
Ever since she had returned from Firesmelt Planet, she had never been able to forget that man who had been like a king of flames. His bright, fiery eyes had melted her heart, and she had dreamt of him many days and nights. She had longed to marry him, and even if Firesmelt Planet's environment wasn't suitable for the Auna family, she didn't care.
But now, she was getting further and further away from that dream. Lu Yin was like a giant mountain that she could not cross. Especially after the Astral Combat Tournament, everyone had worshipped him and envied her for being his future wife. But all of this was a nightmare for Jenny. The more dazzling Lu Yin was, the deeper her nightmare became.
Jenny Auna sighed and took out an exquisite ring that Lu Yin had given her. It was beautiful, but the more she looked at it, the more dazzling she found it to be.
She walked out of her room and stood in the hallway, watching the meteorites streak past her, one after another.
At that moment, her gadget beeped.
Jenny Auna looked over and her expression changed to one of ecstasy. "Br- Brother Yan Feng, is that you?"
Not far from the hallway, Jeraldine furrowed her brow in distress. She had no confidence in herself during Yu Academy's selection, and she didn't know if she would be able to join. Although she was a top student of the First Military Academy, she was still far from the elites. She looked up at the sky and thought of that bastard. That despicable bastard had lied to her, threatened her, and blackmailed her. Now, he had reached the most dazzling stage in the entire universe.
"Okay, Brother Yan Feng, I'll leave now," a voice said. Jeraldine stopped and looked around the corner, only to see Jenny Auna excitedly running back into her room. There was an exquisite ring on the ground.
Jeraldine was puzzled. She knew that this woman was Lu Yin's fiancée, and she had been paying attention to her ever since they had boarded the spacecraft. She had originally been worried, but why had she suddenly become so happy? Yan Feng?
Who was that?
As Jeraldine pondered, a gust of wind blew past her, and Jenny Auna quickly walked past her.
Jeraldine walked over and picked up the ring on the ground. It was so beautiful! She sighed in admiration and put it away. A large family was indeed a large family, and they didn't care about anything else. She could sell it for money, but wait, that bastard must be thinking about it. She actually had the same idea.
One day later, on the Great Yu Empire's Zenyu Star, in the main hall of the Auna family, Xueshan Auna smashed a teacup on the ground. "That idiot actually dared to do such a thing! Capture her!"
Rocky Auna's expression turned ugly. "Brother, this is very troublesome. We can't openly capture her, or our Auna family will become the laughingstock of the Frostwave Weave."
Xueshan Auna gasped for breath, closed his eyes, and bitterly said, "I never thought that the shrewd me, Xueshan Auna, would be ruined by this girl. She actually ran away from home to elope with that brat from Firesmelt Planet. What a joke."
"Jenny is too foolish. Yan Feng's target has always been Princess Wendy, so why would he want to elope with her? But brother, why did Yan Feng coax Jenny away?
What's in it for him?
Could it be that His Majesty's plan to attack Firesmelt Planet has been leaked? "Rocky Auna was bewildered.
Xueshan Auna waved a hand. "That shouldn't be the case. Only a few people know about the military plan, and it's impossible for it to be leaked. Besides, His Majesty wouldn't give up on attacking Firesmelt Planet just because of Jenny."
"If that's the case, then what's Yan Feng's goal?" Rocky Auna couldn't figure it out.
Xueshan Auna fell into deep thought as he tried to think of people related to Jenny. Finally, he thought of something. "Find a way to contact Schutz and ask him if something happened at the Astral Combat Academy."
"Brother, are you suspecting that this matter is related to King Zishan?"
