Lu Yin paused in the face of the expert's obstruction. Just as the peak Hunter from Mount Zhuang Dojo thought that Lu Yin would retreat, Lu Yin lifted his foot and walked forward.
The Hunter from Mount Zhuang Dojo was furious, as he did not care about a mere Explorer. No matter how high this person's status was in the Outerverse, he was nothing more than an ant in his eyes. Thus, he had been merciless in his attack. However, with so many people watching, he could not afford to affect his young master's image.
The peak Hunter from Mount Zhuang Dojo took a step to the right and bumped into Lu Yin's shoulder. He wanted to use the most inconspicuous method to force Lu Yin back. He could not give off the impression that he was bullying the weak, but he also wanted Lu Yin to know who he was and who he had to listen to.
Their shoulders collided, and shockwaves shot out in all directions. The peak Hunter had thought that Lu Yin would dodge, but he had not expected Lu Yin to meet him head-on without any hesitation. Furthermore, Lu Yin had actually withstood the attack, which annoyed the peak Hunter, and he increased his strength.
There was a thump, and shockwaves shot out in all directions. The peak Hunter was shocked, as Lu Yin had not been forced back. He had immediately used the Overlaying Stacks Technique. As an expert from Mount Zhuang Dojo, everyone knew how to use the technique.
He had directly used Ten Stacks, and he wanted to force this puny Explorer back by ten steps as punishment.
However, his expression suddenly changed, as this person had actually used Ten Stacks as well. He snorted, as this person had overestimated himself. He had directly used Fifty Stacks without any misgivings, but what greeted him was the same Fifty Stacks.
The peak Hunter was stunned. A puny Explorer could actually use Fifty Stacks? Impossible! How did this person do it?
How could his body withstand it?
Lu Yin looked up, and his pupils flashed with runes. The peak Hunter's strength inexplicably weakened, and he did not have much time to think. A pressure that could topple mountains and overturn seas surged forward, and Lu Yin directly used Seventy Stacks to force the peak Hunter back by dozens of steps. Every step left a deep footprint on the ground.
Although it took a long time to describe, it happened very quickly. In just a single clash of shoulders, the Hunter had been forced back.
Countless people were shocked. Although they knew that Lu Yin's strength was astonishing, he was still an Explorer. He had actually relied on his own abilities to suppress a peak Hunter. Wasn't it said that he could kill Hunters and Enlighters by external means?
Countless people in the Outerverse felt their scalps go numb. It was unimaginable for an Explorer to suppress a peak Hunter, and this only proved that this person's innate gift was too great. His future was unimaginable.
At this moment, no one was more shocked than the peak Hunter who had been forced back. His pupils shrank, as he did not understand how he had been forced back. Furthermore, this person had used Seventy Stacks, and he was just an Explorer. Suddenly, he recalled that there had been an Explorer who had ascended to the tenth level of the gravitational landmass at the Heavy Mountain Dojo, breaking the young master's record. At that time, he had been on the ninth level. Could it have been this person?
Lu Yin looked towards the interior of East San Dios and saw Wendy Yushan.
Lu Yin walked in.
The peak Hunter still wanted to stop them, but Lan Si appeared and waved a hand to dismiss him. Lan Si's eyes met Lu Yin's.
Lu Yin looked back at him.
"This display of strength isn't very clever," Lu Yin said indifferently.
Lan Si clasped his hands behind his back. "I'm not trying to intimidate you. I'm just exercising my authority. This is the authority of the Ten Arbiters. This is the territory of the Ten Arbiters Council, and you're trespassing."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Dao Master Lan's corpse hasn't even turned cold, yet you're here to cause trouble instead of mourning."
Behind Lan Si, Tie San angrily shouted, "How dare you speak to the Ten Arbiters like that?"
Lan Si did not mind, as he already viewed Lu Yin as someone on the same level. "After we were born, our fathers told us that being a normal person would guarantee us a carefree and happy life. If we chose to cultivate, we could face death at any time. These words were the same for him. The universe is cruel, and only the fittest survive. Do you think you can survive today?"
Lu Yin laughed. "At the very least, you can't decide my right to live."
Liu Shaoge walked out and stood about ten meters behind Wendy Yushan. He watched with interest.
Barley and the rest also walked out and watched this scene uneasily. Ever since the Ten Arbiters had arrived, they had known that this moment would happen, but they had not expected it to happen so quickly.
"You're very confident," Lan Si commented.
Lu Yin stared at him. "I heard that you're going to reorganize the Councilors and restore the supervision of the Outerverse's younger generation.
Does that include the Great Eastern Alliance? "
Lan Si's lips curled up. "Not just the Great Eastern Alliance, but also you."
Wendy Yushan's expression changed, as this was a declaration of war. Lan Si wanted to suppress Lu Yin.
Outside of East San Dios, countless people were so nervous that they found it hard to breathe as they watched this scene unfold.
One Lu Yin represented the Great Eastern Alliance, and his influence spread throughout the Outerverse and even reached the Hall of Honor.
The other one was one of the Ten Arbiters, who represented the power behind him and was at the peak of the younger generation.
The competition between these two was not only related to the Outerverse Youth Council, but also the entire universe.
When Lan Si had fled to the Outerverse, Master Yuan had appeared and ignored him, as he had the ability to do so. The Sea King's Dome had Elder He, who could similarly ignore Lan Si. However, if Elder Big Drum and the others had appeared, then things would be different. The Ten Arbiters' influence was not at the level of an Emissary, but it surpassed that of an ordinary Enlighter.
Wan Qiancheng, Qiong Xi'er, and Wei Rong were all watching. At this moment, even Wei Rong was somewhat nervous, as he did not know how the situation would develop.
People from the Great Yu Empire, the Vastdearth Sect, Taimo Palace, Ironblood Weave, and even the distant Southern Weave were all watching.
Lu Yin smiled. "You really don't understand the current situation, and you don't understand me either."
"You can talk about it," Lan Si calmly replied.
Lu Yin's eyes widened, and he raised his head. His tone was sharp as he said, "In the current Outerverse, if I want San Dios to have influence, then it will have influence. If I don't want it to have influence, then it won't have influence. This has nothing to do with the Ten Arbiters."
Countless people's hearts were raised, as this was a declaration of war.
Tie San and the others were furious, but they did not dare to interrupt. They could tell that their young master respected this person greatly, even if he was just an Explorer. Eh?
Wait, an Explorer?
Tie San knew who this person was, as there was only one Explorer who could receive the young master's respect. There were not many freaks like that in the entire universe, and it was already a miracle for one to appear. It had to be that person.
"Hahahaha!" Lan Si laughed heartily. "It's a strange feeling. Ever since the ten of us became known as the Ten Arbiters, no one in our generation has been able to challenge us. Lu Yin, you're the first! Hahahaha!
Lu Yin shook his head. "If you can eliminate others, then I can naturally eliminate you."
"Well said! You want to replace me as one of the Ten Arbiters?" Lan Si shouted.
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "I'm not replacing you, I'm expelling you." His tone was unpleasant, as Lan Si wanted to suppress him and even wanted to supervise his trial. If the Innerverse and Outerverse had not been separated, Lu Yin would have been able to live his life with his tail between his legs. But now, not only had the Innerverse and Outerverse been separated, but Lu Yin had even unified the Great Eastern Alliance and even the Hall of Honor. Lan Si's words were an insult.
Lan Si grew excited. "Alright, I'll give you a chance. As long as you can defeat me, you'll be one of the Ten Arbiters. But …" Lan Si's expression turned solemn. "If you lose, not only will you have to accept the Youth Council's supervision, but you'll also have to give up an identity."
Lu Yin frowned. "An identity?"
"The Hall of Honor," Lan Si slowly said.
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he looked at Lan Si seriously. He finally understood, as Lan Si's goal had never been the Outerverse Youth Council. Although this organization had great authority over the younger generation and could influence the war to a certain extent, it was not very useful to Lan Si unless he wanted to unify the Outerverse. But as someone from the Innerverse, it was impossible for him to unify the Outerverse.
The reason why Lan Si had reorganized the Council and appointed new members was because he had been waiting for Lu Yin to appear. He wanted to use this as a condition to force Lu Yin to give up his position as the Hall of Honor's Law Child. Lan Si's true goal was the position of the Hall of Honor's Law Child.
Everyone in the upper echelon of the Hall of Honor could only select one Law Child, and not even all of the Ten Arbiters could become a Law Child. After all, they were not from the Neoverse, which was why Lan Si had set his sights on Lu Yin.
The Law Child was not only a representative of status and authority, but he could also compete for the Star Tower and obtain the inheritance of the Mountains and Seas, which was also a Progenitor's inheritance.
No wonder this person wanted to come to East San Dios. His actions could not be explained at all, and it was only now that everything was clear.
Lan Si's eyes burned with passion, as his goal was the position of Law Child. Before the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, he had tried all sorts of methods to contact the upper echelons of the Hall of Honor in hopes of becoming a Law Child. His ultimate goal was naturally to compete for the Mountain and Sea Inheritance. Not only the Hall of Honor's Law Child, but also the Sirius Sect and the Mavis Family, who were qualified to compete for the position of Law Child, but he had failed.
He had never thought that the Outerverse would have a powerhouse like Master Yuan. When he had first seen Master Yuan after escaping from the Innerverse, Lan Si had known that his opportunity had come. Master Yuan had spent most of his time in the Outerverse and often sealed himself in ice. Not only did he have the qualifications to determine a Law Child, but he also did not have one yet. Thus, Lan Si had immediately sought an audience with the upper echelons of the Hall of Honor.
But in the end, he discovered that Master Yuan had already bestowed the position of Law Child to Lu Yin.
Lan Si had been too late. He had thought about it for a long time, especially after studying Lu Yin's experiences over the past four years. Only then had he decided to reactivate the Outerverse Youth Council and use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Lu Yin. Otherwise, he would not have made an enemy out of Lu Yin just because of the Outerverse Youth Council.
Although the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, and even if Lan Si obtained the position of Law Child, he might not have the opportunity to compete for the Mountain and Sea Inheritance in the Neoverse. However, as long as there was a sliver of hope, Lan Si would not give up.
Only by becoming a Mountain and Sea Inheritor and becoming one of the Five Astral Children would he have the chance to become a true powerhouse in this universe in the future. He might even be able to step into the Progenitor realm.
This was the lifelong dream of countless cultivators, and Lan Si was no exception.
The others did not know what Law Child was, and the media had never even heard of it. Only a few people knew about it.
When they found out that Lan Si's goal was the Law Child of Honor, many people finally understood his actions.
"So that's your goal," Lu Yin slowly said. These Ten Arbiters had not relied on their background or strength to reach their current positions, and their schemes were not shallow.
