Although there was no clear ranking, Mu Rong should be one of the top three Limiteers in the universe's younger generation. Mu Rong could easily defeat him, and only Ye Xingchen's strength was unknown. However, according to what the Ten Arbiters had said, Mu Rong should be stronger than Ye Xingchen.
Against such an opponent, this result was not unacceptable.
Being able to single-handedly change the situation was the power of a powerhouse.
The Daynight clan, the Wen family, the Second Grade Hall, and the other powers all retreated. Mu Rong did not chase after them, and Liu Xiaoyun and the rest did not have the strength to do so either. They simply allowed them to leave. At this moment, Pyrolyte Mountain still belonged to the Sword Sect.
With Mu Rong's participation, Pyrolyte Mountain would most likely belong to the Sword Sect in the future.
Liu Xiaoyun found Liu Shaoqiu and helped him up. "Are your injuries serious?"
Liu Shaoqiu shook his head. "I'm fine. It's just a shoulder injury. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Liu Xiaoyun nodded and then looked at Mu Rong while supporting Liu Shaoqiu.
The others also curiously sized up Mu Rong, as not everyone had the chance to meet an absolute powerhouse. To Limiteers, Mu Rong was an absolute powerhouse, and once he broke through to the Explorer realm, he would be at the top of the Top 100 Rankings. Most people would never meet such a person in their entire lives.
Yōu Ye'er was especially curious and wanted to chat with Mu Rong, but Mu Rong's face remained cold as he sat alone on Pyrolyte Mountain. He was only fulfilling his promise to the Sword Sect and had no interest in anything else, which disappointed Yōu Ye'er.
After the battle on Pyrolyte Mountain ended, the Sword Sect heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mu Rong had arrived in time. Nightqueen Qiuyu, Karthika, and the rest felt that it was a pity. However, losing Pyrolyte Mountain was not what angered Nightqueen Qiuyu the most. She was more furious about Ling Que, who had actually run away.
Nightqueen Qiuyu was not clear about the battle between Ling Que and Mu Rong, and she assumed that he had been scared off by Mu Rong's name. She was so angry that her entire body trembled.
"Have you still not found a way for Explorers to enter Planet Pyrolyte?" Nightqueen Qiuyu shouted, and the Daynight clan's spacecraft trembled.
The Daynight clan members were terrified. "Not yet, please forgive us."
"A bunch of trash," Nightqueen Qiuyu said coldly as she stared at Planet Pyrolyte.
With Mu Rong overseeing things, Pyrolyte Mountain was out of the question. Ling Que was also helping the Wen family, which meant that even if a place with pyrolyte ore reserves comparable to or slightly smaller than Pyrolyte Mountain was discovered, it would not be the Daynight clan's turn to obtain it.
Since when had the Daynight clan been reduced to a third-rate clan? Nightqueen Qiuyu could not accept this, and she thought back to Lu Yin. If he was willing to help the Daynight clan, then the situation would change once again. Unfortunately, his status was sensitive, and it would be troublesome to threaten him directly.
The battle at Pyrolyte Mountain had been witnessed by the various organizations in outer space. Naturally, there were also some organizations who had recorded a portion of the battle. After leaving the Astral Wilderness and arriving in Northcastle Weave, they selected a portion of the footage and uploaded it onto the network.
There was never a lack of people in the universe who enjoyed watching other people's fights. With so many Limiteer geniuses gathered on Planet Pyrolyte, more than one person had uploaded their videos, which caused a heated discussion. Of course, no one dared to reveal the location of the battle or the reason for it, so it remained a secret even though countless organizations already knew about it.
Zenyu Star had recovered ever since Karthika had left, and it had become prosperous once again. There was finally something that attracted Hai Qiqi's attention, which allowed Lu Yin to temporarily break away from her.
However, two days later, Hai Qiqi appeared in front of Lu Yin again, which gave him a headache. "What's wrong now?"
Hai Qiqi anxiously replied, "Hurry up and go online. Someone uploaded a lot of videos of Limiteer battles, and Mu Rong is in one."
Lu Yin was shocked. Mu Rong? Limiteer battles? Could it be Planet Pyrolyte?
He immediately activated his gadget and saw a series of videos that dominated the screen. It was hard not to see them.
Lu Yin clicked on the video at the top and saw that it was Mu Rong fighting against two opponents by himself, forcing back Ling Que and Zhanlong Daynight.
Lu Yin was not surprised that Mu Rong had such strength. He looked at the dark-red battlefield in the video. Was that Planet Pyrolyte?
Wait, Zhanlong Daynight?
Lu Yin's expression changed. Why would Zhanlong Daynight appear on Planet Pyrolyte?
Hadn't he been thrown to the Reverent King's Residence?
Lu Yin's eyes flickered as he watched the battle in the video, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. Zhanlong Daynight, Ming Zhaoshu, Shenwu Continent, and the Daynight clan. Zhanlong Daynight had definitely been able to leave Shenwu Continent because of Ming Zhaoshu, or else he would not have been able to escape. His worst fears had come true: Ming Zhaoshu had found an even stronger partner, the Daynight clan.
Lu Yin was apprehensive, but he did not have the time to watch the video. His mind was filled with thoughts of Shenwu Continent and Ming Yan. If Ming Zhaoshu and the Daynight clan formed an alliance, then Shenwu Continent would quickly undergo a huge change. What would happen to Ming Yan?
Lu Yin did not care if Shenwu Continent was given to the Daynight clan. What he cared about was Ming Yan. The way he saw it, the most precious thing on Shenwu Continent was Ming Yan, and Ming Zhaoshu would not use her as a bargaining chip. If Ming Zhaoshu could do this to Lu Yin, then he could also do the same to Zhanlong Daynight.
That was how it was when you liked someone. You would always assume that everyone else liked you, and Lu Yin was no exception. Right now, he was most worried that Ming Zhaoshu would use Ming Yan as a bargaining chip for his cooperation with the Daynight clan. Even though the possibility of that happening was very small, Ming Yan was just too beautiful and attractive, and Lu Yin could not help but think that way.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?
Keep watching, "Hai Qiqi said.
Her words woke Lu Yin up. He really wanted to go to Shenwu Continent to clarify things, but with his current strength, he might not be safe there. Furthermore, now was not the time, as he did not have the ability to take Ming Yan away. The most important thing right now was to find Zhanlong Daynight and ask him about it.
Lu Yin took a deep breath, as there was no point in thinking too much. He calmed down and thought things through. He closed his eyes and exhaled before continuing to watch the video.
The second video was of Ling Que and Liu Shaoqiu's Fourth Sword battle. The video had been edited, and there was no explanation or dialogue. It only showed the battle and its outcome. This video caused a huge commotion. Ever since the Astral Combat Tournament, Liu Shaoqiu's reputation had skyrocketed. His loss to Ling Que had caused a lot of discussion, and many people had left comments below the video.
"The Thirteen Swords isn't that great. He lost everywhere. He lost to Lu Yin in the Astral Combat Tournament, lost to that woman from the Technocracy in the Tournament of the Strongest, and now lost to that pretentious guy."
"Don't spout nonsense. The Thirteen Swords is very strong, but his opponent is even more abnormal. That woman from the Technocracy is the representative of an entire astral domain, and that pretentious guy is one of the four unrivaled Limiteers. Apparently, Lu Yin even defeated Mu Rong and is the number one Limiteer in the universe. Liu Shaoqiu's loss is not unjustified."
"I heard that there's an inheritor of the Thirteen Swords among the Ten Arbiters. I feel like this Liu Shaoqiu is just a simplified version, and that person is the true inheritor of the Thirteen Swords. The Thirteen Swords shouldn't have been beaten so badly."
"Wait, previous poster, who said that Mu Rong lost to Lu Yin? That's just a rumor. Although there are many people spreading it, it's definitely just a rumor. I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either."
"Anyway, that pretentious guy is really asking for a beating. That group of girls is really unrivaled."
…
After reading through all the comments, Lu Yin looked at the next video. It was still the battle between Ling Que and Liu Shaoqiu, but from a different angle. There were more than ten videos that showed the battle from beginning to end, and aside from the dialogue that had been edited out, the rest of the videos were basically complete.
The comments below were not very friendly to Liu Shaoqiu, as he had indeed lost several times.
Even further below was the battle between Liu Shaoqiu and Zhanlong Daynight. The Daynight clan's experts also caused quite a stir.
"The Daynight clan is really strong, really strong."
"Previous poster is a Daynight braggart. Identification complete."
"That flashy hair color is enough to blow for a year."
"It's a pity that the Daynight clan lost to Mu Rong in the end. Everyone, take a look at the top video. There's a pretentious guy and a Daynight clan member, but they were both scared away by Mu Rong. There's even a Daynight clan woman who was sent flying by the shockwaves. That woman is really hot, but it's a pity that Daynight clan women don't marry outside."
"Stop dreaming. Even if she marries outside, she won't like you. She'll have to at least marry someone at the level of the four unrivaled Limiteers."
…
Lu Yin continued to watch the videos, and he often saw his name in the comments. Many people compared him to Ling Que, Mu Rong, and Liu Shaoqiu. Some praised him while others belittled him. There were even some who predicted that once he became an Explorer, he would be completely left behind by these geniuses. This was because these geniuses had a lot of resources, while he only had the Great Yu Empire.
Lu Yin muttered to himself. Break through to the Explorer realm?
When that time came, let's see who would leave who behind. However, breaking through to the Explorer realm was a difficult problem. He had a premonition that it would be very difficult for him to break through, and it might even take him longer than everyone else.
He looked at the top video again and opened the comments section. It was full of praises for Mu Rong.
"Awesome! This is the way I've been dreaming of making an entrance. He immediately distinguishes friend from foe and then resolves the problem. So cool."
"This is Mu Rong, the unrivaled Limiteer praised by the Ten Arbiters, including the older generation."
"Didn't Mu Rong lose to Lu Yin?"
"I don't think so. It's probably just a rumor. Does the person above think that Mu Rong can lose to Lu Yin with his strength?
Don't forget that Lu Yin is just someone from the Outerverse. No matter how high his innate gift is, being close to Mu Rong is already his limit. It's impossible for him to defeat Mu Rong. He'll never be the number one in the universe. "
"That's right, it's probably just a rumor."
…
During the battle at the Sea King's Dome, only the great powers were able to find a video of Lu Yin and Mu Rong's battle. Most people had only heard rumors, and they naturally did not believe them. This was especially true after seeing Mu Rong fight against two Arbiters by himself and force back two absolute experts. With such strength, Mu Rong deserved to be called the strongest. How could anyone surpass him?
Lu Yin did not refute this, as this was basic human knowledge. It would be strange if people believed what they said. After all, Mu Rong had been acknowledged by the Ten Arbiters, and the Ten Arbiters' reputation and foresight were like the will of the heavens to the younger generation.
As for the name "Sea King's Dome," it basically did not appear on the internet. Many places, people, and even organizations' names were automatically censored, so most people did not know about it.
What people knew was only what the great powers wanted them to see.
Hai Qiqi continued to stare at Lu Yin, resisting the urge to speak. She stared at him for ten minutes.
Lu Yin glanced at her. "Just say what you want to say."
"You're not angry?" Hai Qiqi's eyes widened.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Angry?
Why? "
Hai Qiqi pointed at the screen. "Those people don't believe that you defeated Mu Rong."
