Chapter 208: Karmic Flame Sword (2/2)

This was a Realm Master’s strength. Graceful at a glance, but strong enough to shock people’s hearts.

The other student leaders’ expressions did not change. Kuang Wang arrogantly declared, “Another piece of trash. Anyone who can’t display their battle techniques, no matter how strong that technique is, is trash.”

Feng Shang returned and casually sat down at his seat. Although he had not displayed anything particularly terrifying, his battle had still stunned others. Arikar was so powerful, but he could not even handle a single strike from Feng Shang.

The arena plain still had a jet-black giant palm imprint from Arikar’s Endless Darkgold Palm. But then, the earth squirmed, and the arena quickly regained its normal appearance.

Beside Lu Yin, a number “2” appeared in front of Liu Yin, who was rhythmically bobbing his head.

Lu Yin was astonished. The first battle had included a Realm Master, and the second one would be the same.

Liu Yin didn’t even take off his headphones when he touched the number. He suddenly appeared in the arena below, where Little Pao was already waiting.

Lu Yin was surprised to see that Liu Yin’s opponent was actually Little Pao.

Lu Yin wasn’t the only one surprised; everyone from Astral-10 was stunned. Little Pao was up against a Realm Master?

Liu Yin had a youthful appearance, and he even had a delinquent’s demeanor, but no one dared underestimate a Realm Master, not even Astral-9’s Realm Master.

Of the Nine Trial Zones, the Dao of Change was deemed the trial zone with the most ancient and strange bloodlines. There were actually many inherited bloodlines there, just like how the other trial zones had battle technique inheritances and other teachings. But as the Dao of Change’s Realm Master, Liu Yin had never shown any strange bloodline innate gifts. Nobody knew whether or not Little Pao would be able to force it out by himself.

Little Pao had a serious expression, as everyone knew that the nine Realm Masters were all very powerful. Even if this Liu Yin was calmly bobbing his head, Little Pao did not dare underestimate him.

Little Pao considered his options and rose into the sky. He then raised a hand as his star energy condensed into simulated flames and black veins bulged out on his raised hand. He barked, “Black Blazes Palm,” as a giant black flame slammed downwards, straight at Liu Yin.

Many were shocked, as this strike appeared to be rather similar to Arikar’s Endless Darkgold Palm. However, one was a true flame formed from an innate gift while the other was simulated through star energy. However, Little Pao’s black palm similarly scorched the void with its high temperatures and caused it to distort. Even if the observers were watching from a screen, they could still sense the insanely high temperature of that simulated flame.

Liu Yin suddenly raised his head, opened his mouth, and let loose such a ferocious roar that everyone watching jump up in fright.

His roar was so loud and resonant that it directly caused the void to fracture. The sound wave was visible to the naked eye as it tore through the Black Blazes Palm and continued on towards Little Pao.

Little Pao’s pupils shrank as he tried to dodge, but the sound wave had ripped through space and caused a crack to form. It was as if an abyss had been gouged out of the sky. The shocking scene stunned everyone.

Liu Yin raised his head and breathed in deeply. Following his actions, another queer sound wave was released into the sky. Sound, obviously, had no material substance, but this sound forcefully caused the air to condense into strange lines that twisted together.

Little Pao felt something was amiss and summoned his two-lined battle force to cover his body before he charged towards Liu Yin in a bid to interrupt this sound attack.

But it was too late, or rather, Liu Yin was too fast. Those lines of air formed by the sound waves fell down like rain drops, covering nearly half of the entire arena plains. Little Pao could not avoid the falling lines and was easily pelted by them. Each line had little to no destructive ability, but when they entered his body, they caused a sound wave to ring out within his body. When multiple lines entered Little Pao’s body, they reverberated against each other, causing his body to quickly shatter into a million pieces.

The ground was also struck by the lines of sound waves, causing multiple fissures that were immeasurably deep to appear.

Countless spectators were stupefied by this scene. This was a Realm Master, one who had truly displayed his abilities and as a result, won in an instant.

Liu Yin continued to bob his head rhythmically as he made his way back to the high peak.

Some who had previously treated him with contempt were now frightened. This brat was silent and odd, but also extremely terrifying.

Lu Yin glanced at the person sitting next to him. Had he been serious just now?

Little Pao was strong, without a doubt. He had combined forces with Big Pao to force Kuang Wang to reveal a hidden card, which was testament to Little Pao’s strength. However, when he had to face a Realm Master by himself, he had not been able to last for even a single strike, as the disparity was just too large.

Suddenly, Lu Yin thought of something, and he looked at Kuang Wang, who was sitting there with a calm expression. Lu Yin’s eyes flashed; the other nine student leaders must roughly know the difference in power between each of them. Kuang Wang was not at all shocked by Liu Yin’s power, which meant that he was just as powerful. This meant that when Big Pao and Little Pao had joined forces to fight Kuang Wang, he had never been serious.

The Astral Combat Academy had lasted for countless years, and it was logical to say that it stood at the top of the universe. The Ten Arbiters Council had designated the Council of Astral Academy as one of its strongest subsidiary councils, and the council could even stand by the Outerverse Youth Council on equal footing. Lu Yin had never really understood what this implied before, but based on what these Realm Masters had shown so far, they were indeed qualified to have such a lofty position.

Once these Realm Masters broke through and became Explorers, they would immediately be able to challenge the Top 100 Rankings, and they would definitely not place low either. Even with their current power, they might even be already able to step into the Top 100 Rankings.

These Realm Masters were absolutely within the top hundred of the universe’s younger generation rankings, with the exception of the Ten Arbiters of course.
