Chapter 100: Changing Skies (1/2)
Dorren Yushan’s gadget beeped quietly and he glanced over, only to freeze up, “Ghostfire was defeated and is on the verge of death.”
“What? Who did it?” Hearing this, Huo Qingshan and Jue Lang gazed at him in confusion, while Rocky Auna was astonished. They all knew of the power of Ghostfire’s innate gift, something that left him invincible amongst Sentinels. Lu Yin had only been able to defeat him thanks to that bell earlier; even Tianming could not take him down.
Dorren looked confused as well, “His Majesty Lu Yin.”
Everyone was shocked.
Rocky Auna frowned, “Lu Yin can defeat Ghostfire?”
The corners of Dorren’s lips twitched, “This is news from the Empire. Ghostfire intentionally streamed the battle when he met Lu Yin; he was probably hoping to send a recording out, but was unfortunately defeated with ease. Now that he’s nearly dead, Bazeer must be hopping mad.”
Huo Qingshan’s eyes twinkled, while Rocky sighed ruefully in admiration, “While the Outerverse Youth Council has a lot of authority, that only extends to the younger generation. Bazeer was far too arrogant and thought nothing of our Great Yu Empire; this battle with King Zishan should take him down a peg.”
Dorren smiled. It wasn’t just Bazeer affected here. The man was just a lap dog, and there was actually someone in the Youth Council backing him. That person was the true mastermind, wanting to humiliate Lu Yin to get his sister’s interest. Unfortunately, none of these people understood his sister. She… had a big heart.
“Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!” At this very moment in the Great Yu Empire, Bazeer was howling in fury. He was the one who’d sent Ghostfire to take part in the exam, and yet the youth had been beaten up so badly and completely disgraced him.
On the Sentinel path, Lu Yin and Lulu moved rapidly, one with the Flash and the other with the White Flash. She was rather surprised that he could keep up.
Along the way, the two of them saw quite a few youths flying into the distance, as well as numerous monsters roaring. This route was filled with danger, and besides monsters, there were quite a few interesting plants; there was no water here for them to use. After two hours of travel, they finally paused to get some rest.
A tired Lu Yin glanced at his gadget to see readings all around him, most of them at 3,000. “Conservatively, there are at least thousands of people taking part.”
Lulu massaged her calves, “That’s normal. Your Great Yu Empire sent over a hundred people, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if a hundred million came for the exam across the Outerverse. However, only the regions near the Frostwave Weave can actually attend the exam. There should be a couple hundred thousand people on each path.”
“Right, I’ve been curious. Why do you always wear green?” He shifted the topic.
Lulu rolled her eyes, “People from the Mavis Family always dress in green. What’s it to you?”
He looked at her curiously, “Are you very rich?”
Lulu’s eyes twinkled and she smirked, “Yup. Wanna borrow money? I’ll take 3% interest monthly.”
Lu Yin was speechless.
“I wonder if we were being too hasty just now. This is an exam where hundreds of thousands of people are participating, so the competition ahead must be very fierce. There’ll be more and more people coming later, too,” Lulu sighed.
He thought the same. They were one of the fastest arrivals after Astral-10 had revealed itself; what about the other weaves nearby? This assessment didn’t have a specific time frame; the more time passed, the more people there would be. If they hurried to the front, they were basically paving the way for the people in the back. The exam couldn’t be that easy, and there was sure to be trouble at the front. He thought over it for a while and said, “I don’t want to be doing all the hard work for others. We can wait and get some rest for a few days.”
“Sure,” Lulu nodded.
