Chapter 468: The Strongest Limiteer (1/2)

Lu Yin had already reached that war spirit’s level, as he had reached the pinnacle in one specific aspect. However, Mu Rong had not attained such a level yet.

The farmer boy’s song abruptly stopped while Lu Yin’s left arm halted a centimeter away from Mu Rong’s head. He had used his powerful physical strength to directly overcome the controlling power of the farmer boy’s song.

Lu Yin looked up at Mu Rong. He saw a confused look on his face, which was the first time Mu Rong had ever shown such an expression.

The surprise in Mu Rong’s heart could not be hidden at all. When Lu Yin forcefully broke through the farmer boy's song, Mu Rong knew that he had lost. Lu Yin’s move had brought him too intense a shock, and he had only felt this once before when he had met the Ten Arbiters in the past.

Many had compared Mu Rong to the Ten Arbiters and the strength they had displayed when they were Limiteers, but Mu Rong could not be bothered with such a comparison precisely because he understood how terrifying those people were. Those ten freaks could not be understood with common sense, as their strength simply defied any attempt made to understand them. Even with his farmer boy's song, Mu Rong still did not dare to compare himself to them.

This was the reason why he had looked down upon Lu Yin; Lu Yin was too flamboyant. He had only become a Ten Arbiters’ candidate after the Astral Combat Tournament, and he seemed to reach his peak after the Tournament of the Strongest. Being able to use Thirty Stacks had made Lu Yin the most dazzling of the various Ten Arbiters candidates, but from Mu Rong’s perspective, this person did not understand their strength at all. He had seen Lu Yin as nothing more than a clown.

However, Mu Rong now understood that Lu Yin was no clown; rather, he was a rare true super powerhouse who could rival the Ten Arbiters. He was genuinely unequaled within the same realm, and Mu Rong was certain that even Ye Xingchen would be no match for Lu Yin. This person was so powerful while still in the Limiteer realm that it had reached the levels of incomprehensible.

Lu Yin had allowed Mu Rong to witness the birth of a new monster. Mu Rong had been declared as an unequaled Limiteer by the Ten Arbiters and represented their vision, but Lu Yin had surpassed that. He had risen to the same level that the Ten Arbiters had as Limiteers.

Everyone stared dumbfoundedly, and all of Halfwillow Lakeside fell completely silent. Before too much time passed, a voice called out, “I admit defeat.”

It was Mu Rong’s voice. His wooden flute split apart after he finished speaking before completely vanishing.

The countless people watching were stunned, but then the crowd erupted in cheers. No one had favored Lu Yin’s victory before the battle started, and so when he achieved victory, the cheers they gave him were even more resounding. Moreover, Lu Yin was the Sea King Dome’s future son-in-law, so it made the audience feel glorious, as he was already partially one of them. The Sea King's Dome was the strongest.

Lu Yin quietly let the Fatesand merge back into his left arm and heart, causing his physical strength to rapidly decline.

The only variable during this battle had been the farmer boy's song. As soon as it had proven ineffective against Lu Yin, Mu Rong had no longer been able to retaliate.

Lu Yin had not even used his Fatesand during this battle. Of course, the difference that would have been made would be relatively minor since even the Fatesand could not withstand Mu Rong’s innate gift of the farmer boy's song.

Ling Que sighed in the distance, rather disappointed. He had thought that everything would end the moment the farmer boy's song appeared, but he had expected that Lu Yin would be such a freak. How had he cultivated his physical strength to those levels? It was just too absurd.

Cheng Wu, Northgate Lie, and the rest all left. They were afraid of being seen by Lu Yin and being challenged. That would be bad, as being defeated by a Limiteer would be absolutely humiliating.

Michelle and the others had complicated expressions as they watched Lu Yin. Was the difference between him and them really that vast? They had thought that they could still see his back, but after this battle, they felt like he was so far ahead of them that he was basically out of sight.

Xia Luo smiled, and he looked at Lu Yin with a bit of excitement and competitiveness.

In the distance, Hai Dashao gathered his gaze, seemingly having fallen into deep thought. This Lu Yin had cultivated his physical body to an extraordinary degree, and as soon as he broke through to the Explorer realm, he would definitely rank within the top fifty on the Top 100 Rankings, or perhaps even higher. This person was truly a Ten Arbiters’ candidate, which Hai Dashao himself had to admit. He could see that Lu Yin had the potential to eventually challenge the top ten on the Top 100 Rankings.

“Brother, let me ask you a serious question.” Hai Qiqi looked solemnly at Hai Dashao.

Hai Dashao nodded, as he knew that Hai Qiqi must be experiencing various conflicting emotions after watching the fight. “Shoot.”

“Have you guys ever considered the possibility of domestic abuse?”

This one sentence threw Hai Dashao’s mind into disarray. He waved his hand and tore through the void to leave, not even knowing how to reply to Hai Qiqi.

Hai Qiqi gritted her teeth in frustration. “Isn’t that a valid question? If I’m really married to such a violent maniac, then what will I do if he beats me?” She then chased after Hai Dashao.

Halfwillow Lakeside had been ruined by this battle.

Mu Rong left, though he was not as disappointed as Ling Que by losing. Although Lu Yin’s strength had shocked him, he quickly calmed down. To him, the outcome of the battle wasn’t that important. Since his strength had already been revealed a few days ago, it was already enough to satisfy his goals.

Lu Yin stretched lazily; he had won. This time, even that old fellow, the Sea King, should be happy, which meant that Lu Yin would not need to take responsibility for the bill of 30,000 star essence, which was a relief.

Zhang Dingtian slowly walked over from where he had been watching.

Lu Yin turned around and looked at Zhang Dingtian. “You-”

After uttering just one single word, the scene before Lu Yin’s eyes changed. He returned to the area beneath the waterfall once again.
