Just as the victor was about to be decided, a small knife tore through the void and appeared out of nowhere. It circled around the two of them and then disappeared. The two of them stopped in their tracks. A trace of blood appeared on each of their necks. They were so close, so close to dying.
Everyone stared blankly at this scene before looking in another direction. There, a strange spacecraft had flown past, and the small knife had been shot out from that spacecraft.
"That's … that's the Lingling clan's spacecraft."
"The Lingling clan?
That terrifying clan?
Does this mean that the saber is the legendary Obelisk? "
"Definitely. That knife's power level isn't even at the level of an Explorer. It's only a Limiteer, but it instantly defeated two elite Explorers. Aside from that person, who else can do that?"
In outer space, a man and a woman bitterly looked at each other. They had fought to the death, but in the end, they had been defeated in an instant by someone else. They hadn't even gotten a chance to see what their opponent looked like.
On Nightking Planet, Nightqueen Yanqing was watching the scene on her screen. She was excited. "He really came. That's right, that's Obelisk. That person is here."
Behind Nightqueen Yanqing, a Daynight clan member was puzzled. "Obelisk?
I think I've heard of it before. "
Nightqueen Yanqing's lips curled up. "In the current universe, among the younger generation of Limiteers, there are only three people who are qualified to be called invincible: Ye Xingchen from the Cosmic Sea, Mu Rong from the Ten Arbiters Council, and Ling Que from the Lingling clan. The Obelisk's Mighty Slash is Ling Que's battle technique."
The Daynight clan member was shocked. "I remember now. He once killed five Explorers with a single slash, and one of them was even qualified to challenge the Top 100 Rankings. Is that Ling Que?"
Nightqueen Yanqing nodded, her eyes filled with excitement. She had invited Ling Que, and her goal was simple: to suppress Lu Yin. To her, Lu Yin was a stain that could never be erased. There was also Zhanlong Daynight, but unfortunately, he had disappeared from Shenwu Continent. Otherwise, she could have asked Ling Que to teach him a lesson as well.
Fortunately, Lu Yin had been invited, so he would definitely appear. Everyone praised Lu Yin as an unequaled Limiteer, but she had learned from her older brother, Arbiter Zhenwu, that Thirty Stacks was just a standard that the Divine Fist had announced to the outside world. Thirty Stacks was not the only thing that could truly make one an unequaled Limiteer. Ye Xingchen, Mu Rong, and Ling Que had all been praised by the Ten Arbiters as true unequaled Limiteers.
In other words, Lu Yin was still slightly weaker than them. She wanted this to be his greatest failure at the banquet, shattering his belief that he was invincible.
"Ling Que, Ling Que, I love you! Ling Que, Ling Que, you're the best!"
"Ling Que, Ling Que, I love you! Ling Que, Ling Que, you're the best!"
…
A commotion could be heard from a flying ship in the starry sky. A group of beautiful women were dancing and shouting excitedly.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded. Was this the support group?
Ling Que's appearance on Nightking Planet caused an uproar. The Lingling clan was located in the Spirit Seal Flowzone, and they rarely interacted with the outside world. This clan had an unparalleled innate gift, which was why they were so arrogant. Even the Daynight clan did not dare to provoke them.
Ling Que was one of the strongest Limiteers of the younger generation, but he had always kept a low profile. No one had expected him to appear on Nightking Planet.
There were also some who guessed that this had something to do with Lu Yin, as there were only four unequaled Limiteers in the current universe. Lu Yin was one of them, so it was normal for Ling Que to be interested in him.
Because of Ling Que's appearance, even more elites from the younger generation had been invited to Nightking Planet. There were also many who had not been invited who had gathered in the Daynight Flowzone, wanting to personally witness the battle between Ling Que and Lu Yin.
In Astral-8, Xi Yue sought out Feng Shang and invited him to the Daynight Flowzone's Nightking Planet.
However, she was rejected by Feng Shang, as he did not want to move.
Xi Yue was speechless, so she headed to the Daynight Flowzone alone.
Feng Shang watched Xi Yue's departing figure and sighed. Everyone was looking forward to Lu Yin and Ling Que's battle, but only he knew that Lu Yin would not appear again. He had been swallowed up by the storm, and his chances of survival were too low.
Lu Yin slept for two days, and his mind was slightly clearer when he woke up. He then climbed to the three peaks in the distance.
After some thought, he gritted his teeth and continued climbing. He chose the middle peak, as it was more likely that the middle peak was the exit.
He placed both hands on the middle peak, and an oppressive pressure swept over him. The pressure on his spiritual force was even stronger at this position, to the point that Lu Yin found it hard to accept. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, and he gritted his teeth. No matter what, he had to climb.
A day later, Lu Yin's eyes became unfocused. The pressure was too great, and he had no choice but to start reciting the Stonewall Scriptures to resist the pressure.
One day, two days, three days … Five days passed. Since yesterday, Lu Yin had lost consciousness, and the only reason he could climb was because of his instincts.
After nearly a month of climbing, his physical body had maintained its instincts, but his consciousness had almost completely dissipated.
At this moment, if Lu Yin was awake and looked up, he would no longer see a tall mountain. He had already reached the peak.
With a thump, Lu Yin finally reached the peak. His eyes were only slightly open, and he seemed to see a figure in front of him. However, he wasn't fully awake and eventually collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious.
After Lu Yin fainted, a figure slowly approached from not too far in front of him and finally blocked his path. It was an elegant and quiet middle-aged man with his hands clasped behind his back. He calmly looked at Lu Yin and slowly squatted down. With a casual wave of his hand, the clothes on Lu Yin's back were torn apart.
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yin's back in shock. "This seal doesn't belong to the fifth or sixth. Could it be …"
He didn't say anything else. He stood up and walked to the edge of the peak, where he looked at the golden light in the distance and fell silent.
Lu Yin didn't know how much time had passed, but he woke up with a splitting headache. He forced his eyes open and saw the elegant figure in front of him with his back to him.
He was shocked. Was there someone here?
He hurriedly got up, but his body was too tired and the pressure on his spiritual force made it impossible for him to stand up. He could only squat and look ahead.
The elegant figure slowly turned around and calmly looked at Lu Yin. "Since the creation of this space, you are the first person besides me to reach the peak."
Lu Yin was shocked, and the figure in front of him blurred. He was still under tremendous pressure.
The man waved his hand, and it was like a gentle breeze brushing past his face. Lu Yin immediately woke up, and all of the pressure vanished. This person had easily dispelled the spiritual force pressure that this mountain had placed on him. He was an unimaginable powerhouse.
Lu Yin hurriedly stood up and slowly bowed. "Lu Yin greets senior."
The man sized Lu Yin up. "You don't belong to the fifth or sixth. Where are you from?"
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat; it was the fifth and sixth again. He was confused. "Fifth?
Sixth?
This junior doesn't understand. "
The man stared at Lu Yin, but there wasn't anything special about his eyes. They were just a little brighter. Lu Yin met the man's gaze and wanted to look away, but he found that he couldn't. His eyes seemed to be attracted to the man's eyes, and he was completely focused on them.
The next moment, Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he took a step back. His face went pale as he stared at the man in shock. He could finally look away.
"May I ask for senior's name?" Lu Yin asked respectfully.
The man retracted his gaze. "You can call me Mister Mu."
Lu Yin bowed again. "Mister Mu, this junior took the liberty of climbing the mountain and disturbed your cultivation. Please forgive this junior."
Mister Mu's gaze was indifferent, and his temperament was refined. "It's fine. You were able to reach the peak because of your ability. Your cultivation is not bad at such a young age."
"Thank you for your praise, Mister," Lu Yin said respectfully. He glanced at his right arm, but the monkey showed no signs of waking up. He looked at Mister Mu and hesitated.
"Do you want to leave?" Mister Mu asked.
Lu Yin nodded. "Please give me a chance."
Mister Mu looked at Lu Yin. "Since ancient times, you are the second person to reach the peak. You can leave at any time."
Lu Yin was delighted.
"However, you can also choose a second option," Mister Mu said calmly.
Lu Yin raised his brows. "Please enlighten me."
Mister Mu clasped his hands behind his back and calmly looked at the golden light in the distance. "Accept the challenge and think of a way to become my disciple."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he said without hesitation, "This junior wishes to become senior's disciple, and I hope that senior can grant my wish." He was not stupid, and he could tell that the person in front of him was a reclusive expert. The things that such a person taught would definitely not be bad, and even if that was not the case, Lu Yin would not be at a disadvantage. At the very least, the person in front of him was definitely stronger than him.
Mister Mu replied, "It's not that easy to become my disciple. However, you've already passed the most difficult hurdle, which is reaching the peak. Since ancient times, only you have passed this hurdle."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. This mountain had caused the Cruiser from before to disappear upon touching it, which meant that there had to be a condition to successfully climb it. Lu Yin guessed that this condition had something to do with the Rune Ancestor. His eyes had been modified by the Sky Platform, and he had also crossed the Ocean of Death. Perhaps that had been an opportunity that had allowed him to climb this mountain.
The person in front of him should not be lying. He had experienced the baptism of the Rune Technology Society, been coincidentally swallowed by the storm, and had even appeared here. It was very rare for such coincidences to happen to a single person, and it was also possible that he was the only one who had managed to do so after so many years.
If that was the case, then the person in front of him might be related to the Rune Technology Society. Could he be a powerhouse that had been left behind by the Rune Technology Society?
"The second hurdle can be difficult, but it can also be simple. You just have to show me your opportunity," Mister Mu said.
Lu Yin was stunned. "My opportunity?
How? "
Mister Mu's tone was indifferent. "Show me everything that you have and do your best to surprise me. Opportunities are destined by the heavens and cannot be controlled, but it is also a type of strength. I do not accept stupid disciples, unlucky disciples, or disciples with bad temperaments. You may begin."
Lu Yin nodded, as he understood that Mister Mu wanted to see what he could do. This was the first time that he had seen such a method of selecting a disciple.
"I'll be embarrassing myself," Lu Yin said as he took a step forward with his right foot. Five-lined battle force appeared on the surface of his body, and purple veins covered his entire body while dark golden stripes sparkled. His battle force was dazzling against the surrounding golden light at the peak of the mountain. Lu Yin knew that there were very few people who could cultivate five-lined battle force at his age. There had never been a powerhouse who had surpassed five-lined battle force in the history of the Astral Combat Academy. He had already reached the peak.
Five-lined battle force covered his body, and Lu Yin looked at Mister Mu expectantly.
