Outside of the Heavenly Drum, many students were pleasantly surprised to see that Lu Yin was still alive.
Liu Xiaoyun and the rest were shocked; how had he dodged that arrow? They definitely could not have dodged it with that speed.
Speed was not a problem for Lu Yin, as the Sirius Art was the bane of speed. At the last moment, he had not been able to resist using the Sirius Art to dodge the arrow. If this had been a live broadcast of the Tournament of the Strongest, he would not have been able to use the Sirius Art. He would have had to take the arrow head-on, as that would have exposed his physical strength. Of course, he would not have needed to hide it then, but at this moment, he still needed to restrain himself or else he would be targeted.
Silus was indeed someone from the Cosmic Sea who dared to participate in the Tournament of the Strongest. He was strong enough to defeat most of the Astral Combat Academy's student leaders, but unfortunately, he had run into Lu Yin. Silus was still some distance away from the top four, and Lu Yin did not know how strong the other person was. He was the publicly acknowledged Ten Arbiters' candidate, and that person was the greatest threat.
Silus half-knelt on the ground and panted heavily. The pain in his abdomen almost caused him to vomit bile. He had experienced this feeling many times in the Cosmic Sea, but he had never expected to experience it in the Innerverse from someone younger than him. This person was stronger than him; was this the power of the top four of the Astral Combat Academy?
If the top four were all at this level, then he and Nate would definitely not be a match for them.
After a while, Silus recovered and looked deeply at Lu Yin before leaving the Heavenly Drum. He had been thoroughly defeated, and his sure-kill arrow had been dodged. He no longer had the ability to fight.
Many students looked at Lu Yin, feeling that he was unfathomable. His speed seemed to have increased.
Lu Yin looked around and left the Undying World. The Heavenly Drum could not help him for the time being, and there were only seven days left until the tournament. He needed to rest and not cultivate. Sometimes, it was important to relax.
On the other side of the battlefield, Silus did not immediately leave the Undying Realm after exiting the Heavenly Drum. He wanted to recall the battle that had just taken place, and most importantly, he wanted to know how Lu Yin had managed to dodge that arrow. It couldn't have been pure speed, or else there would have been changes in the void. Could Lu Yin have seen through the trajectory of his arrow?
This thought made Silus's hair stand on end. If that was true, then this person was definitely not any less terrifying than the Cosmic Kraken, Ye Xingchen. The only difference was that one had dodged his arrow, while the other had crushed it.
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, Silus stood up and looked behind him warily. At some point, a woman wearing a thin veil had appeared and was looking at him quietly.
"Who are you?" Silus frowned. This woman's eyes were beautiful.
"Five-lined battle force, try to block me," the woman said. Her voice was gentle, but it contained an indescribable chill. As she spoke, the air around them became much colder. Even the void began to distort and change color.
This scene caused Silus's pupils to shrink. "Aura? You're one of the top four of the Astral Combat Academy?
Who? Mavis or Starsibyl? "
"Try and stop me," the woman said calmly as she took a step forward. At the same time, an endless sense of danger rose from the bottom of Silus's heart. He did not hesitate to release his five-lined battle force, and at the same time, he summoned a bow and arrow to shoot at the woman. However, he was still a step too late. The woman and Silus passed each other, and with a second step, she disappeared. Silus's body was frozen in place, and even his five-lined battle force was frozen.
If news of this spread, it would definitely shock the entire Astral Combat Academy. Even Lu Yin had to expend a great deal of effort to defeat Silus, but this veiled woman had done so easily. Her power was unfathomable, and she was also a Limiteer.
"It's getting harder to control. This innate gift is very strong, but it's very difficult to control," the woman said before the frozen Silus shattered into pieces and disappeared from the Undying Realm.
The next moment, in Astral-3's trial zone mountain, Silus opened his eyes. His pupils flickered as he looked at his body. He had never experienced such extreme coldness before. This was an innate gift, and that woman's coldness was frightening. What kind of innate gift was this? Was she also a student of the Astral Combat Academy?
The Astral Combat Academy was truly unfathomable.
Nate walked over. "Did you lose, Silus?"
Silus ignored Nate. His mind was filled with endless coldness, and he had long since forgotten about Lu Yin.
Nate frowned. "Silus, I'm talking to you."
Silus looked up with a serious expression. "Nate, I don't think we should participate in the Tournament of the Strongest."
Nate snorted. "How can you survive in the Cosmic Sea if you're so weak after losing a single match?
I'll contact the captain and have you expelled from the Arcadian Arrow Crew. "
Silus shook his head. "It's not Lu Yin's problem. It's …" He suddenly didn't know how to describe his current situation, so he sighed helplessly. "Forget it, Nate. I'll remind you not to underestimate the Astral Combat Academy. There are too many hidden experts here."
Nate disdainfully replied, "Adjust your state of mind. You'll only make that woman Yanqing look down on you. She'll also look down on our Arcadian Arrow Crew." He then left.
Silus looked at Nate's back and felt bitter. He had no idea what had happened to him.
Lu Yin had been waiting at Astral-10's trial zone entrance for a few days now. He had left the Undying Realm a few days ago and had planned to rest for a while, but he had suddenly recalled the matter of the Shenwu Continent. Since resting was just resting, he might as well ask the Trialmaster about it.
However, the Trialmaster ignored him. No matter what Lu Yin asked, the Trialmaster didn't hear a single word, which left Lu Yin speechless.
"Do you think that the old guy is playing dumb?" the monkey asked.
Lu Yin lay down on a tree and looked at the Trialmaster. He had asked two questions. The first was "Is it possible for a sourcebox to be as big as a planet?" The second was "Can sourceboxes be combined to form defensive measures?"
There was no response to either of these questions, and he felt that the Trialmaster didn't want to tell him anything.
"Seventh Bro, since you have nothing to do, why don't you go play in the ported battles? I heard that they're fun," the monkey urged.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. That's right, it had been a long time since he had participated in a ported battle. His record in the ported battles was a hundred wins and seventy-three losses. He hadn't participated in any since he had entered the trial zones, so it would be good to warm up.
Lu Yin jumped down from the tree and walked towards the teleportation stone.
The Trialmaster opened his eyes. "Begin the battle for the teleportation stones. Snatch a teleportation stone, and I'll answer one of your questions or give you a chance to lockbreak in front of me."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, and he bowed. "Thank you, Mentor."
The Trialmaster smiled. "Don't be in such a hurry to thank me, kid. Have you forgotten that the ported battles are only limited to the younger generation? There are no restrictions on realms. If you want to snatch a teleportation stone, you have to win fifteen matches in a row. If you're unlucky, you might even run into one of the Ten Arbiters, hehe."
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "I believe that my luck isn't too bad. I have a record of winning twelve matches in a row."
"Good luck."
Lu Yin resolutely stepped into the teleportation stone's range.
The scene in front of him changed, and he appeared in a desolate land. A figure slowly appeared in front of him with the words "I'm the Strongest" floating above his head.
Lu Yin raised his brows. What an arrogant name. He waved his hand, and a violent energy swept out. "I'm the Strongest" was instantly killed. He was only a Melder, so he couldn't even retaliate against Lu Yin.
How satisfying.
Lu Yin now felt the same joy as when that bastard Feng Shang had instantly killed him. Feng Shang hadn't only participated in the ported battles for the sake of fighting; the thrill of instantly killing others was definitely one of the reasons. It was too satisfying.
"Seventh Bro, you're too much of a bully." The monkey laughed strangely.
Lu Yin exited the ported battles and entered again. This time, he appeared in an abandoned city. A Limiteer appeared in front of him, and the Limiteer attacked him as soon as he appeared. However, Lu Yin instantly killed him.
Once, twice, thrice … He was instantly killed five times in a row. Lu Yin let out a sigh of relief. It was too satisfying, and this was the only place where he could directly feel his progress.
He thought back to how he had trembled with fear every time he entered this place, afraid that he would run into a powerhouse. Now, he didn't even care if he ran into an Explorer.
Perhaps he had been too arrogant, but another Explorer appeared in front of him. This time, they were fighting in a dark forest.
The word "Grandpa" was clearly written above his head. This was the Explorer's code name that had been transmitted to the other side of the Astral Gate.
"Damn, is he looking to die? How arrogant! Seventh Bro, beat him to death!" The monkey was furious.
Lu Yin was annoyed as well, as this guy's nickname was really asking for a beating.
On the other side, Kao Ke was feeling great, especially when he saw the word above his head. He didn't even know where he had come up with this nickname, but it was too convenient and too satisfying. Even if he couldn't defeat his opponent, he would still disgust them to death. This was what Kao Ke was thinking. Let's see who dares to say that they've defeated me. I've defeated Grandpa, and Grandpa has defeated me. Kao Ke laughed heartily, as this was too satisfying.
He looked at the Limiteer across from him. Was he calling him Seventh Bro?
Little brat, his name was also quite convenient. He really deserved a beating.
Lu Yin didn't hesitate and charged forward, punching out.
Kao Ke didn't care, as he was just a Limiteer. He casually raised his hand, and there was a thump. The next moment, Kao Ke's face changed. His right arm had been shattered, and he was sent flying into the forest, creating a huge crater.
Lu Yin looked down from above, as this person had underestimated him too much. Just because he was an Explorer, he didn't care. With Lu Yin's current strength, he could even put up a fight against an Explorer with a power level of over 30,000. Back at the border warfront, Zi Tie's power level had far exceeded 30,000, but Lu Yin had still managed to force it back.
Beneath the forest, Kao Ke wanted to curse. Where had this freak come from? He had fought ported battles for so many years, but he had rarely encountered such a freak. Today, however, he had actually encountered one.
Kao Ke decided not to hold back any longer. Star energy surged from his body, and the strange tattoo on his arm came to life. It then transformed into a bewitching woman, and in that instant, the entire Dark Forest lit up.
Lu Yin was shocked, as this person was actually an expert from the Beast Tamers Flowzone. It was no wonder why his physical body was so weak. Most of the Beast Tamers Flowzone's experts focused their strength on their tamed beasts, and there were very few who could cultivate battle force like Kuang Wang.
Kao Ke stood in the middle of the forest, and in front of him was an extremely charming woman. She emitted a strange fluctuation that passed through the void and approached Lu Yin.
Lu Yin felt dizzy, and he looked down at the charming woman. The more he looked, the more mesmerizing she became.
"Seventh Bro, that's a succubus! Wake up!" the monkey shouted.
