Peach waved her hand generously. "Don't mention it. Remember, I'm only teaching you how to exert your strength. How much you can actually use Flash depends on yourself. Everyone has a different understanding of Flash, and the same battle technique can be used differently in different people's hands."
Lu Yin nodded.
Peach licked her lips, "Well, I'm going to go enjoy some ice lobster slices, see you later."
Lu Yin didn't even see how she left; if that was Peach's Flash, he wondered where she ranked in the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons.
After practicing Flash twice, he looked at Bai Xue, "How's life in the Sixth Squadron?"
"Not bad, the captain treats me well."
"What about the others?"
Bai Xue thought for a moment, "Zhang Dingtian's life in the Fifth Squadron is tough, he climbed up from the bottom. Seruzen and the captain of the Eleventh Squadron stared at each other for a few days without moving. Xu San doesn't know."
Lu Yin looked at Bai Xue's haggard face, "You're very talented, try to choose a battle technique that suits you."
Bai Xue nodded and didn't say anything else.
A person would need to adapt to a new environment, even if it was snow. In Lu Yin's opinion, they were like gold buried in the ground, and they would shine one day. As for how bright they would shine, that would depend on themselves.
It didn't take long for Peach to leave with Bai Xue, a look of enjoyment on her face as she left. She even looked expectantly at Lu Yin, her intentions obvious.
Lu Yin pursed his lips; the probability of rolling a one was one in six, and the probability of stealing a snack was one in a million. It was too low, and he didn't dare to make any guarantees. Now that he thought about it, it was time to roll the die again.
He opened his palm and crushed a star crystal to restore the die's hazy starlight. He took a deep breath, feeling nervous every time he rolled the die. Three was unknown, and six required a terrifying amount of star energy. Six was the last thing he wanted to roll, but it was also the one he looked forward to the most.
Last time, he'd only barely managed to open a spatial tear after spending dozens of cubes. Now that he had two hundred, it should be enough!
He tapped the die, causing it to spin rapidly before finally coming to a stop.
Finally, a black crystal card fell out with a thud.
Lu Yin was overjoyed; a battle technique?
He hurriedly picked it up, but was disappointed to find that it was a Mavis Bank card.
Crystal bank cards generally had genetic authentication. Of course, there were also cards that didn't require authentication and could be directly withdrawn, but there weren't many. This card had clearly been authenticated. There were two words engraved in the upper right corner: "Yao Gu".
Yao Gu?
Was it a name or something?
Lu Yin was puzzled, but he didn't pay much attention to it. A black crystal card from the Mavis Bank was no ordinary card. At the very least, he had never heard of a black crystal card from the Mavis Bank.
It didn't matter if the card was real or fake, it was useless to him. He couldn't retrieve it, so he put it away and crushed another star crystal. He raised a hand and tapped the die, watching it slowly spin until it finally stopped at four pips. The next moment, he entered the grey Timestop Space.
"Not bad. Since that's the case, I'll practice the Flash Step," he muttered to himself as he slowly squatted down. Star energy surged around his calves as his body shot forward. He wanted to use the Flash Step to make up for his lack of speed.
Two days later, Lu Yin was panting heavily as he massaged his calves. His current speed had already surpassed the Roving Step, but he was still quite a distance away from Lulu. Training like this wasn't very effective, but it would be much better if there was a gravity space.
Lu Yin pondered; this space could even extend time. Would it be able to increase gravity as well?
He took out a cube of star crystals and crushed it, thinking about gravity. The next moment, the cube disappeared and his body felt a bit heavier; this was double gravity.
This space was virtual, and he could create anything he wanted as long as he paid the right amount of star energy. This was great! One cube of star crystals was equivalent to one times the normal gravity, and forty times the normal gravity was equivalent to forty cubes of star crystals. That was a lot, and if he hadn't asked for bribes, he didn't know when he would have been able to gather so many star crystals.
Gritting his teeth, Lu Yin crushed forty cubes of star crystals and felt a heavy pressure descend upon him. This was a space with forty times gravity, and the familiar feeling returned.
He had already used forty cubes of star crystals to create this space, and he couldn't just use it for a day. He steeled his heart and crushed another ninety cubes of star crystals, increasing his time by five days. Including the one day he had left, he now had a total of six days. He didn't know how far he could go in six days to train the Flash Step.
Who could be as extravagant as him, spending over a hundred cubes of star crystals to train a battle technique? Lu Yin's heart ached, but he didn't slow down. He ran in the space with forty times gravity while recalling the Daynight clan's extreme speed battle techniques and trying to integrate them.
He fell with a thump, his calves swollen. He had been too impatient; he hadn't even fully comprehended the Flash Step yet, and he'd already tried to integrate other techniques. Thankfully, his injuries weren't too serious.
He took out some ointment and applied it before resuming his training.
To others, only a second had passed, but to Lu Yin, he'd cultivated for eight days under forty times the normal gravity.
When he walked out of the grey space, he immediately fell asleep; he was too tired.
Two days later, the members of the Outerverse Youth Council arrived. Many of the Great Yu Empire's courtiers looked at the silver spacecraft in the distance with solemn gazes.
The Outerverse Youth Council was a subsidiary organization of the Ten Arbiters Council. If the Ten Arbiters Council was a gathering of the universe's top geniuses, then the Outerverse Youth Council was a gathering of the Outerverse's top geniuses. Anyone who could join was either a genius or an absolute powerhouse who was unmatched in the younger generation.
Even the strongest youth in the Great Yu Empire, Schutz, didn't have the qualifications to even touch the Outerverse Youth Council, which showed just how many people were gathered there. Only a famous powerhouse like Wendy Yushan could join.
Countless people in the Empire were curious as to who could come out of the Outerverse Youth Council.
The spacecraft soon landed, and Crown Prince Dorren Yushan was waiting outside the space station.
As the Crown Prince of an empire, it was already a great honor for him to personally come out and greet the Outerverse Youth Council.
Dozens of people walked out of the spacecraft, led by a three-meter-tall brawny man with a mature appearance. It was Bazeer.
Beside him was the pale-faced Ghostfire, and on the other side were several young Limiteers.
Dorren Yushan's face was solemn as he watched Bazeer approach, his heart trembling. Anyone who could join the Youth Council was a cultivator under the age of forty. In the universe, the average lifespan of a human was 150 years, and forty was the cutoff. Those under forty were considered the younger generation, but those over forty were not included. There were also some special races that were not included.
Although the man in front of him was mature, being able to join the council meant that he was not even forty years old. He already had the strength of an Explorer, and this was the Outerverse Youth Council.
He was already over forty years old when he became an Explorer.
"My name is Bazeer, a subordinate member of the Outerverse Youth Council," the brawny Bazeer said in a deep voice as he walked up to Dorren Yushan.
Dorren Yushan smiled, "Welcome to the Great Yu Empire, Representative Bazeer. His Majesty is waiting for you in the court."
Bazeer nodded, "Please."
Dorren Yushan gestured, "Please."
Not long after, Bazeer and the rest arrived at the court.
Today was a special day, and all the courtiers were present. Even Lu Yin had been called along with a few other idle members of the royal family. Undying Yushan placed great importance on the Outerverse Youth Council, but the captains of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons were not present.
Bazeer brought Ghostfire and two other Limiteers into the court, but he did not bow to Undying Yushan and only greeted him out of courtesy.
No one cared since the other party was not from the Great Yu Empire, nor was he from the Frostwave Weave. He had an extremely high status, and being polite was only because of Wendy Yushan.
Bazeer had been ordered to replace Wendy Yushan in supervising the training and education of the Great Yu Empire's younger generation, so he naturally had to meet the most famous elites of Yu Academy.
Not long after, everyone moved to the drill grounds, where hundreds of people from Yu Academy were already waiting. Only the five hall masters were absent.
Undying Yushan looked exhausted and left Dorren to entertain Bazeer and the rest while he went to rest.
Without Undying Yushan holding down the fort, many people felt much more relaxed.
"Your Highness, I've heard of the legends of the Frostwave Weave's Undying Duo since I was young. Rumor has it that His Majesty Undying Yushan once broke into the top twenty of the Innerverse's Astral Combat Rankings. It's admirable," Bazeer said.
