Tianming stood in the middle of the field, calmly looking at Ghostfire.
Ghostfire was pleased, "What?
You admit defeat? "
Tianming was helpless, "I can't defeat you, but you can't defeat me either. Your attacks aren't strong enough to hurt me."
Ghostfire's face sank; Tianming was right. No matter how talented he was, he could only remain undefeated at best. He wasn't strong enough to win.
"Alright, Ghostfire, you should be proud to be able to draw with the Yu Academy's Hall Master," Bazeer said loudly.
Ghostfire wasn't satisfied, "Brother Bazeer, I heard that there's a powerful Sentinel cultivator in the Great Yu Empire who can challenge those above his realm. I wonder if I can spar with him to learn from."
Everyone was stunned, and many subconsciously looked at Lu Yin.
Dorren's gaze changed as he glanced at Lu Yin and then at Bazeer, "Councilor Bazeer, you must be tired from the long journey. Father ordered me to prepare a banquet, please."
Bazeer smiled faintly, "Prince Dorren is too polite, there's no need to rush. I heard that your King Zishan is invincible among Sentinels, why don't you come out and spar with Ghostfire?
Ghostfire also wants to learn how to be invincible among Sentinels. "
Ghostfire looked at Lu Yin arrogantly, full of provocation.
Peach bared her teeth, "This guy is so annoying, you shouldn't go, he's invincible."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed; these fellows were clearly looking for trouble. They hadn't interacted before, so there was only one possibility: Wendy Yushan. News of him marrying her had spread, and the Undying Yushan would really cause trouble for him.
Dorren wanted to decline, but Lu Yin had already walked out.
No matter what, someone was provoking him at his doorstep; he had to have the courage to fight regardless of victory or defeat, or he would never be able to raise his head again.
Schutz and the rest looked at Lu Yin, deep in thought.
Tianming whispered to him, "Be careful to avoid his attacks, don't try to be brave, he only attacks once."
Lu Yin nodded and faced Ghostfire, "I'm King Zishan Lu Yin. You want to learn how to become invincible among Sentinels?
I can teach you for free. "
Ghostfire's lips curled up. "Alright, teach me then." The black flames in his hand formed a chain that floated in the air and then lashed out at Lu Yin. The black flames didn't just carry a scorching heat, they also carried an indescribable feeling of nothingness. Lu Yin didn't dare to touch them and hurriedly dodged, causing the ground to crack and sparks to fly.
Lu Yin casually struck out with his palm, the Spacerender Palm compressing the air around him as he viciously struck out at the ghostfire.
In the face of such an attack, Ghost Fire did not even want to dodge. He also raised his hand and struck out, shattering the Spacerender Palm.
Bazeer sneered. Ghostfire hadn't been able to enter the Outerverse Youth Council just because of his innate gift. Even if he didn't have any innate gift, his strength still couldn't be underestimated. His innate gift only gave him the ability to challenge even stronger powerhouses.
Lu Yin hadn't expected Ghostfire to be so strong and be able to easily shatter his Spacerender Palm. It seemed like Ghostfire's single attack against Tianming had been an act in order to deal with him.
The black flames floated in the air, growing larger and larger until they covered the entire area. "King Zishan, is this what you call invincible Sentinels?
How disappointing. "Ghostfire laughed.
Lu Yin didn't care, only using the Roving Step to dodge. Ghostfire's flames grew larger and larger, shrinking the area with the Roving Step.
Many looked on worriedly; if Lu Yin lost, the Great Yu Empire would become a laughingstock.
Amongst the Yu Academy elites, Raas sneered; he didn't care about his reputation, as long as Lu Yin lost.
Gerbach stared at Lu Yin with a strange gaze, while Schutz's expression darkened, "Is this all he's got?
How can he defeat you with that? "
"Let's wait and see," Gerbach said indifferently, not saying much.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold as he saw the black flames covering the entire area and even the area above him. He exerted strength in his legs, disappearing in an instant and reappearing in front of Ghostfire.
Everyone was shocked, and Bazeer's expression changed. Few Sentinels could achieve such speed; it was no wonder they were called invincible. Unfortunately, he was facing the unbeatable Ghostfire.
Schutz, Gerbach, and the rest looked at each other in shock; Lu Yin had actually mastered Flash Step.
Dorren Yushan's eyes also lit up; such proficiency.
Peach clenched her fists and cheered for Lu Yin.
Ghostfire didn't mind, "Do you only know how to run?
Look up, there's nowhere for you to hide. "With that, the black flames in the sky pressed down like a black cloud, forcing everyone to retreat.
Lu Yin disappeared with Flash Step once more, but this time he didn't evade and instead faced the black flames head-on. Cold energy surged around his body and turned into solid ice as he rushed into the flames. Ice was the best way to deal with fire, and he had borrowed White Snow's innate gift to use it. This was his first time using it, and while he wasn't familiar with it, it was enough to defend against it for a short period of time.
Ghostfire didn't know where Lu Yin was, but Bazeer and the rest saw him. They were shocked to see the layer of ice covering his body; it was an innate gift of ice.
Dorren Yushan was shocked; he remembered Sigmund's report that Lu Yin's innate gift was something like a dice. How could it be an innate gift of ice?
Ordinary ice couldn't withstand the black flames, but it helped him penetrate them and appear in the sky above the drill ground. His body flickered as he appeared beside a large bell and kicked it, causing it to ring loudly as he smashed it towards the will-o '-the-wisp.
Ghostfire couldn't see his surroundings because of the black flames, but he didn't mind as he was confident that Lu Yin couldn't hurt him. However, when the bell landed on the ground, he knew that he was in trouble. His vision went dark, not because of the flames, but because he had been sealed by the bell.
Ghostfire was trapped by the bell like a rat trapped in a small black house, unable to escape no matter how hard he tried.
The bell was made of special materials that could defend against attacks from Limiteers, and the ground wasn't easy to destroy either. It would take a Sentinel at least three hours to break through the ground and escape.
Everyone stared blankly; how could this be possible?
The bell rumbled as Ghostfire tried his best to escape, but to no avail.
Lu Yin landed on the bell and knocked on it casually, "Not bad, it's really hard."
"Cheating, you're cheating!" a Limiteer beside Bazeer shouted angrily.
Lu Yin was surprised, "Didn't you guys say that there was no need for a fair fight?
How is this cheating? "
"You!" the Limiteer was furious.
Bazeer reached out to stop him and stared at Lu Yin, "That's right, a fight is a fight, there's no such thing as fairness. Since he challenged you, a loss is a loss without any complaints. The Youth Council is not a sore loser."
Dorren Yushan spoke up, "Representative Bazeer, this is just a spar, there's no need to determine a winner. Besides, Ghostfire hasn't lost, he'll be able to escape in three hours at most."
Bazeer growled, "So what if he escapes? Ghostfire can't win with King Zishan's speed."
"My brother can't beat Ghostfire either, how about we call this a draw?" Dorren smiled.
Buzeer didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either. He just stared at Lu Yin for a long time before frowning when he heard the bell ring. He casually waved his hand, causing the ground of the drill ground to explode right beneath the bell. Everyone could feel a strong gust of wind that was as sharp as a blade, and they could feel Buzeer's strength.
Ghostfire rushed out from the ground and glared at Lu Yin, "Despicable, fight fair and square if you have the ability, what's the point of using tricks? Is this how the Great Yu Empire fights?"
Lu Yin looked at him in amusement, "Fighting is unpredictable, you need both strength and brains. I said before we started that I'd teach you for free."
Ghostfire was furious, his already pale face turning even paler.
"Ghostfire, come back!" Bazeer roared.
Ghostfire gritted his teeth, "Brother Bazeer, let me fight him again."
"I said, come back!" Bazeer's body turned into a terrifying bear in an instant, his roar shaking the ground and causing the ground to crack and the clouds to evaporate.
Everyone's scalps went numb as they looked at Bazeer in shock.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank. What a powerful pressure! In that instant, he felt that this person was far more pressuring than Sigmund and the others.
Ghostfire's expression changed drastically, but he didn't dare to refute.
Bazeer calmed down and looked at Dorren, "Your Highness, we've embarrassed ourselves. Let's go, we're hungry and want to try the Great Yu Empire's delicacies."
Dorren smiled and gestured for them to leave.
The crowd watched Bazeer and the others leave and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Outerverse Youth Council had put a lot of pressure on them, and even a Sentinel was helpless against the Yu Academy's Hall Master. If Lu Yin hadn't saved the day, the Great Yu Empire would have been mocked by the entire universe.
Peach appeared beside Lu Yin, "Good job, friend."
