Chapter 181: Whitebones Gorge (2/2)

“Don’t go overboard.”

Lu Yin turned away and stopped questioning Charon, as he had indeed gone too far.

Charon suddenly thought of something and beamed before asking, “Do you really want to know about my domain?”

Lu Yin turned back with an astonished gaze.

“It’s possible, but only if we have a duel. That way, you can experience it yourself.” A strange smile crept up Charon’s face, clearly not an amicable one.

Lu Yin wisely decided to reject, as he did not enjoy being beaten one-sidedly. Although he really wanted to duel against a domain wielding expert, that could wait. He had his die, and he was hoping that he would be lucky enough to Possess an expert with a domain the next time he rolled Possession.

Charon was disappointed. “You don’t have a warrior’s spirit.”

Lu Yin just ignored him. His dedication towards training was greatly lacking when compared to people like Zhang Dingtian or Schutz.

“Schutz should have arrived by now,” Lu Yin muttered to himself before asking, “Charon, am I free to wander about in Whitebones Gorge?”

“It’s up to you. Just don’t bother me.”

Lu Yin heard more screams as he walked across the dry bones. Madness, sorrow, desperation—all sorts of negative emotions permeated Whitebones Gorge. He did not know if other people could hear them as well, but he definitely could. This sort of environment was not suitable for people to live in, lest they ran the risk of going mad.

Lu Yin found a protruding valley and sat down within it. He circulated his Cosmic Art and patiently waited for Schutz.

Two days passed, during which no one sought out Lu Yin. Charon left the trial zone, and those training within Whitebones Gorge all kept their distance and did not interact with Lu Yin.

Lu Yin could not afford to continue waiting for Schutz, and he even felt that it was strange that he had waited so long. So, he left the trial zone and reappeared back at the trial zone mountain. He saw Schutz wiping his blade when he opened his eyes.

“You haven’t entered yet?” Lu Yin was flabbergasted.

“I entered. Then I died.”

“That fast?”

“I appeared in the center of a group of war spirits.”

Lu Yin blinked, speechless. Schutz’s luck was just too horrible. Even Lu Yin himself would be helpless if he was surrounded by war spirits. He watched Schutz calmly clean his blade as he muttered under his breath.

All of Astral-10’s students had obtained a hundred victories in the teleportation battles, but they were only stronger than the average student from the other academies. Schutz, Coco, Zora, and the rest were not much stronger than the other academies’ students at their same level. If they fought against an opponent with powerful innate gifts, then they would be defeated easily. Astral-10 only had a few students who could compete against the other academies’ elites.

It hadn’t been the best idea to ask Schutz for help to snatch a training ground. He would not be able to contribute much help, and could be easily killed after he entered the trial zones. Lu Yin could not afford to continue waiting around.

This new development gave Lu Yin a headache. There were twelve new students, and less than half of them could even stand up against the elites of the other academies. Even Hui Daynight was not strong enough to do so.

After thinking his predicament through, Lu Yin decided to not ask for Schutz’s help in his quest to snatch a training ground. However, since he had already asked Schutz for his help, rejecting him now would just humiliate her.

Coincidentally, Michelle entered the trial zone mountain right then. She was still as enchanting as ever, and her red eyes swept across Lu Yin and Schutz before she indifferently headed to another area of the mountain.

“Wait,” Lu Yin suddenly called out.

She paused and turned to look at Lu Yin. “What?”

Lu Yin stood up and walked to Michelle. He looked her straight in her red eyes and seriously said, “I want to snatch a training ground. Interested?”

“No.”

“How about battle force? Interested?”

Her eyes lit up. “Battle force?”

Lu Yin smiled, he raised his hand, and let a translucent stream of air flow around it. He saw Michelle’s passionate gaze as there was no one who did not want to learn battle force. “Xi Yue also comprehended battle force.”
