Chapter 1093 (1/2)

Yun Feifei was shocked; the first promotion method that she had selected was already considered to be extremely difficult. In fact, if Yao Ji had been the one blocking her instead of Yan Kun, then she would have failed to even touch the drumsticks. And yet, did this person actually want to go through the third promotion method?

Yao Ji’s face fell. This was too bold. The third method? If this person succeeded, then this would no longer be the day when he, Yao Ji, stepped up to the peak. Rather, he would likely be nothing more than a supporting character. In the Cosmic Sect’s entire history, Yao Ji would forever be compared to this person, and he could not allow such a thing to happen.

Fortunately, it was basically impossible to succeed at the third method.

Lu Yin walked past Yao Ji and stepped in front of the promotion drum. He then raised his head and looked at the crowd of disciples with a gentle smile. “I’m Lu Yin. Please forgive my boldness for attempting the third promotion method to become a true disciple. I ask all seniors to please show some leniency.”

The crowd of disciples were still processing his words, and many of them simply stared at him blankly.

This method was too difficult, and it was not much different from suicide.

Anyone who underwent the third promotion method would essentially be slapping the faces of an entire generation of Cosmic Sect disciples, even including the true disciples. Nobody would willingly allow themselves to be embarrassed in such a manner.

Within Skystar Hall, Yuan Qiong’s eyes pierced through the void, and he focused on Lu Yin’s body as he exclaimed, “This child’s physical strength is remarkable.”

Within the Cosmic Sect, many of the older powerhouses were looking at Skystar and Lu Yin. Someone undergoing the third method for the true disciple promotion was something that had not happened in a very long time. If Lu Yin was an actual disciple of the Cosmic Sect, then these elders would be delighted to see such an attempt, as a successful attempt would be beneficial for the entire sect as it would mark the appearance of a peerless individual. Unfortunately, Lu Yin represented Eversky Island, and although the two powers had a good relationship, they could not allow Lu Yin to succeed. Otherwise, the Cosmic Sect would be utterly humiliated if none of their disciples could challenge this nominal disciple from Eversky Island.

Lu Yin had clearly underestimated this evaluation; in his mind, this was merely one of the ways to be promoted to the true disciple level. However, he had actually forgotten that he represented Eversky Island right now. If he managed to succeed, then he would utterly embarrass the entire Cosmic Sect.

Lu Yin stood in front of the promotion drum, and two minutes passed without a single disciple attacking him.

Mu Ziying was not worried, as one day was plenty of time. Although he respected Lu Yin, Mu Ziyong did not wish to see Lu Yin succeed either.

Yao Ji looked at the crowd of disciples and gave them a look.

One disciple walked forward until he was 100 meters from Lu Yin. “Junior Lu, please excuse me.”

“Him? Isn’t that Senior Yi, who’s ranked ninth on the internal rankings?”

“I heard that Senior Yi was accepted as an elder’s disciple, and he should be one of the few inner disciples who has surpassed the second layer of the Cosmic Art.”

“I heard that Senior Yao Ji was the one who recommended him.”

“That’s quite normal. Senior Yi has always been following Senior Yao Ji.”

…

Lu Yin gestured for the man to begin.

Senior Yi’s gaze trembled as stars began revolving around him. There were more than 100 stars circling around him, and he charged straight at Lu Yin as he raised his hand. Stars appeared over the man’s palm, the characteristic of the Cosmic Palm, which was something that Lu Yin was extremely familiar with.

Lu Yin had never directly received a Cosmic Palm himself, so his emotions were rather complex since he was being attacked by it for the first time.

As the palm landed, more than 100 stars exploded, and though Lu Yin did not try to see the lines of runes, he could still feel the power of the attack. The strength of this palm was definitely no weaker than what Cool Sis, tenth on the Top 100 Rankings, was capable of with her innate gift of Icy Crystallization. Moreover, this person was an elite disciple of the Cosmic Sect. Lu Yin sidestepped the attack as he waved a hand covered with nine lined battle force, unleashing a violent slap.

Lu Yin pushed all of the Cosmic Palm’s exploding stars aside and then shoved his palm into Senior Yi’s stomach, making him spit out a mouthful of blood. The older disciple’s body flew away outside of his control, and he landed on the ground far away. His face turned ashen, and he was unable to get back up. He looked extremely miserable.

Everyone was shocked, as just one attack had defeated the ninth ranked expert on the sect’s internal rankings.

Lu Yin retracted his arm and looked solemn. “Forgive me.”

He did not want the challengers to come up one by one, so he had revealed a great deal of strength right from the very start.

Mu Ziying’s eyes narrowed when he saw that Lu Yin had nine lined battle force, a terrifying physical physical strength, and the ability to see through a Cosmic Palm. It was no wonder how he had already defeated two of the Ten Arbiters. Although Lu Yin’s palm attack had looked simple, it would be impossible for anyone else to replicate that attack unless they were on the same level as Lu Yin.

On Skystar, everyone went completely silent as they stared at Lu Yin in shock.

The sect’s internal rankings were incredibly important, and yet, the expert ranked ninth on those rankings had just been swept aside with one strike, amply demonstrating Lu Yin’s strength. Not just anyone would have the courage to face him after seeing this demonstration of his abilities.

At this moment, Yan Kun stepped forward. “Brother Lu, please excuse me.”

Yun Feifei stepped out at the same time, and she also looked at Lu Yin. “Brother Lu, don’t mind the two of us working together.”

Lu Yin smiled slightly. “Please.”

The third promotion method did not stipulate that the ones blocking the path forward had to do so in solo combat. This was the most frustrating of the three promotion evaluation methods.

Yun Feifei and Yan Kun exchanged glances briefly before simultaneously attacking; one moved from the left and the other from the right. Since they were both in the top three of the internal rankings, this was equivalent to a joint attack from Tai Yuanjun and Qing Longlong. Lu Yin was not underestimating these two at all, so he took a step forward and opened his eyes wide: Night Advent.

Yun Feifei and Yan Kun were just about to land their attacks when their entire vision suddenly went black before a terrifying spiritual force surged forth. The two youths paused and then subconsciously pulled back. The void warped, and Lu Yin was surprised to see that his attack had not yielded the expected results. Had they actually evaded it?

Yun Feifei gritted her teeth, her face deathly white. Night Advent had jostled her brain, though she had been able to endure it. She raised both of her arms as an endless, icy prison spread out in an attempt to freeze Lu Yin.

Across from her, Yan Kun leaped up to unleash a downwards attack, using another Cosmic Palm. However, his palm contained dozens more stars than Senior Yi’s, and the power behind it was naturally different.

As the stars appeared over the palm, they exploded. At the same time, the cold prison froze over and spread out in all directions as Yun Feifei and Yan Kun attacked in unison, enveloping the entire area within a thousand meters. A breeze blew past, and before the two could see the results of their attack, they were both blasted into the ground, suffering the same fate as Senior Yi. This was Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm.
