Chapter 327: The Final Round (1/2)

Everyone was stunned; it was finally over.

The participants from the Technocracy were all stunned.

“The first match of the third round. Victor: Lu Yin.”

Every match in the Tournament of the Strongest was mind-blowing; however, Lu Yin’s match against Yun was by far the most shocking one so far. The main reason for this was the sheer level of destruction and oppression that the battle had reached. The violent shockwaves from their battle were so extreme that even the Astral Academy mentors had been forced to step in to stabilize the barrier.

Compared to Starsibyl or Tian Hou’s battles, although they were terrifying in their own right, they were not as tangibly oppressive. This most recent battle had shown countless people the true disparity between them and these peak Limiteers.

This battle also solidified Lu Yin’s position. His actual power level was still above Yun’s, and he had proven his right to be called a true Ten Arbiters’ candidate,

On the east side, Starsibyl’s eyes lit up, as reality was getting closer to matching the results of her divination.

Grandini was shocked; Lu Yin was becoming more and more powerful with every passing day, and he was well on his way to becoming an unbeatable cultivator.

In a distant location, Nightqueen Yanqing gripped her fist tightly. This bastard was still growing stronger. Even though she had grown stronger as well, the disparity between them was still enormous. In the Daynight clan, there was already no Limiteer who could match up to her, and in fact, even many Explorers would find it hard to defeat her.

Everyone in Astral-10 was elated by the result.

Wu Da mumbled to himself incessantly as he stared at Lu Yin in excitement; this person was a great source for his news articles.

In the Outerverse, many powers watched their screens in stunned silence as well.

At the Spirit Seal Flowzone’s Watermoon Villa, An Shaohua had his head bowed down and did not dare to breathe.

“Is this the Lu Yin who compelled you?”

“Yes, Father.”

“With his abilities, even if your powers were multiplied tenfold, you would still not be a match for him. I shall not punish you for what happened back then.”

An Shaohua heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Father.”

“Keep in touch with this man.”

An Shaohua was troubled by this order. “Father, the promissory note has already been used.”

“Yes, Father.

…

Deeper in the universe, within the First Flowzone, at the Sword Sect, someone ordered, “Send out an invitation: the Sword Sect would like to invite the kid to join us. We will treat him as a young master.”

Many of the disciples within the Sword Sect echoed similar sentiments; this battle had made them truly realize the disparity in power between them and Lu Yin. He was just too strong, as his abilities had already surpassed the Fourth Sword.

…

At the Daynight clan’s Ancestral Grounds, Nightking Yuanjing looked away from the screen to glance behind himself to ask, “Have you completed the mission?”

Zhuo Daynight stood behind Nightking Yuanjing, and she looked away from the screen to respond, quelling the shock she felt in her heart. She respectfully answered, “Yes.”

“Very well then, you can go ahead and do whatever you wish now. No one in the Daynight clan will stop you,” Nightking Yuanjing sad in a gentle voice.

Zhuo Daynight bowed and slowly took her leave.

…

The Astral Combat Academy’s Astral Combat Tournament had not been enough to strike fear into that many powers, precisely because it had merely been a competition between the academy’s students, so it was not an accurate representation of what the cream of the crop of the entire universe’s younger generation’s capabilities were. However, the Tournament of the Strongest was different as it represented something else entirely.

Even though this tournament seemed to be just a competition among the younger generation of the universe, it was actually a ploy for the three domains to negotiate. However, many people saw the competitors as candidates who would one day take over for the Ten Arbiters. The true Ten Arbiters’ candidates represented something different entirely, especially for anomalies with no background such as Lu Yin. He would belong to anyone who managed to successfully recruit him into their clan. Lu Yin was now a true Ten Arbiters’ candidate who existed outside the controlling influence of the various powers. He held a huge attraction to many powers.

Perhaps the only places that honestly wished Lu Yin well were Zenyu Star and a few places back on Earth.

Within the Lifeseek Realm of the Astral Combat Academy’s trial zones, Lu Yin walked out of the battlefield.

“Brother Lu, congratulations,” Han Chong said.

Lu Yin let out a pained smile. “It was a difficult fight. That woman is very strong.”

“That goes without saying,” Grandini said, rolling her eyes.

Lu Yin felt like this girl was becoming more and more like Lulu. Was everyone from the Mavis clan this plucky? But if that was true, then who was overseeing the economy?

The next battle was between Starsibyl and Tian Hou. At that moment, Tian Hou had already appeared within the battlefield.

Starsibyl was in no hurry to enter. Instead, she walked over to Lu Yin and whispered something into his ear before entering the arena.

Lu Yin turned around and stared at Starsibyl’s back in shock. Starsibyl had shockingly offered to let him use the Mirror of Clarity within the Lifeseek Realm. The Mirror of Clarity was just like the Heavenly Drum, Tilting Tower, Sky Platform, and the other top training grounds within their respective realms. It was the best training ground in the Lifeseek Realm, and whoever controlled the Mirror of Clarity was the Realm Master of the Lifeseek Realm.

Ever since Starsibyl had taken control of the Mirror of Clarity, she had only ever allowed Nightqueen Yanqing to use it. And now, at such a crucial moment in the Tournament of the Strongest, she had shockingly agreed to let Lu Yin use it. What did this mean? Lu Yin could not understand why she would voluntarily make such an offer to him.

On the battlefield, Starsibyl smirked. Since the results of her divination were becoming more and more clear, there was no harm if she pushed matters in the direction that the divination indicated.
