Chapter 95: Three Stacks (1/2)

“Good job, bud,” Peach appeared by Lu Yin’s side.

Lu Yin’s expression turned grim, “Do you know who Bazeer is? He doesn’t seem all that old, looks to be the same generation as me.”

“I don’t,” Peach shook her head, but her gaze swept across the courtiers, and she picked one and pointed at him, “You, get over here.”

The middle-aged man walked over to Peach timidly, “Captain Peach, Your Majesty, is there anything I can do for you?”

“Who’s Bazeer?”

Schutz, Gerbach, and Tianming arrived at this time and looked at the minister who answered respectfully, “He is from the Helm Weave, with status just below the five Councillors of the Outerverse Youth Council. People call him the Raging Bear because his innate gift is the Ursal Stareater.”

“Ursal Stareater?” Is it a biological innate gift?” Lu Yin was surprised.

“Yes. They are a type of astral beast, and legends say that the greatest of them can swallow entire stars. Bazeer is an Explorer, but he has defeated Cruisers before.”

Lu Yin turned solemn. No wonder he was so scary, even most of the Thirteen Captains were only Cruisers. This person was indeed mighty.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can leave,” Peach waved her hand.

The courtier was relieved and left immediately.

Peach patted Lu Yin’s shoulder, “Don’t overthink it, the universe is so big that there are bound to be some crazy geniuses. You’re already very powerful; at the very least, Ghostfire can’t beat you, and he’s someone even Tianming can’t defeat.”

Standing next to him, Tianming was stunned, “Captain Peach, can you not use me as an example?”

“Am I wrong? Who couldn’t defeat him just now?” Peach glanced at him.

Lu Yin smiled, “Although we’re in the same generation, he’s over thirty while I’m not even twenty years old yet. I have lots of time to catch up with him; I’m sure that I’ll be stronger than him when I reach his age.”

Peach grinned, “You’re right. All the best, I’ll be off!”

Lu Yin nodded and watched Peach leave.

“Lu Yin, when did you become so close to Captain Peach?” Gerbach asked curiously.

Lu Yin just laughed and looked at Schutz, who also looked back at him and nodded, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, I was doing it for myself, too,” Lu Yin said.

Schutz said slowly, “I originally planned to challenge them, but Ghostfire almost turned us into a joke. You saved our reputation, Your Majesty; I agree to you learning the first twenty forms of the Skybeast Claw.”

Lu Yin was elated, “Really? That’s great.”

Gerbach and Tianming left soon after, telling Lu Yin to head to one of the halls to learn the Skybeast Claw. The first twenty forms were available at the Academy; only the rest had to be learned elsewhere. Not needed at the banquet, he had Bronsen accompany him and set off. The first twenty forms would give it power on par with the 5-star Cosmic Palm, which he didn’t want to reveal.

The hall closest to the school grounds was the formcasting pool, which was Tianming’s domain. Lu Yin headed there directly and arrived just before Tianming, who brought him to a stone wall, “The first twenty forms aren’t a secret, but less than fifty people in Yu Academy have managed to learn all of them. With your talent, though, you can probably pick it up very quickly.”

Lu Yin stared at the claw mark on the stone wall and quickly immersed himself in learning. Not wanting to disturb him, Tianming left. The Cosmic Art quickly revealed every little change in the claw mark on the wall; since he’d already learned the first fifteen moves, the next five didn’t take much time.

When he walked out only half an hour later, Tianming stared at him in shock, “You’re done learning it?”

Lu Yin smiled, “Barely.”
