Chapter 104: Attack (2/2)
“Which forces are involved?” Huo Qingshan asked.
Rocky answered in a low voice, “The Blaze Realm, the Ross Empire, and the sylvan dragons.”
Dorren’s face turned pale; these were powerful forces in the Innerverse, and they were to the Great Yu Empire what the Great Yu Empire was to Earth. There was no comparison. Huo Qingshan was astounded, he had been to the Innerverse before and had experienced how scary the Blaze Realm was. Who could pass someone from the Blaze Realm?
Jue Lang said slowly, “Is the Ross Empire the one that’s rumored to have obtained an ancient inheritance?”
Dorren nodded, “Mm, but the most powerful are the sylvan dragons that betrayed the Astral Beast Domain. Any grown dragon is near-invincible.”
These three forces cast a gloom over everyone. The Great Yu Empire weren’t the only ones to hear this news, but every power that got hold of it went silent. Astral-10 was the only hope for the Outerverse to catch up with the Innerverse, but the assessment was now under siege. The three forces from the Innerverse completely disregarded them as they stole their chance at improvement, which was a bitter pill to swallow.
There was a beam of light connecting the sky to the ground at the end of the path, and one could enter Astral-10 through it. When the people from the three forces appeared, someone within the academy asked, “Are they so anxious to make us disappear?”
“We can’t chase them away since they are here as assessees.”
“They aren’t cheating, either; they fall in line with all requirements.”
“Then let’s just treat this as the hardest challenge. The initial assessment for the Outerverse was made easier, but this can be considered bringing it up to the other nine academies..”
“Not many will pass; I’m afraid there’s a chance that none will succeed, even.”
“It is all destiny. If Astral-10 really has to exit the stage, then we will leave. This place is just a prison to us, anyway.”
On the Sentinel Path, Lu Yin walked out of the ruins of the mountain and looked up. The final attack was extremely powerful, but it was still bearable. Lulu walked out from underground as well, and Coco flew out from the foot of the mountain while wincing in pain. A pang of disappointment flashed past her eyes as she saw that the other two were completely alright, but she quickly grew happy, “You’re fine, that’s great!”
Lulu pouted, “You were hoping that something was going to happen to us, weren’t you.”
“Err… Nooo….” Coco shook her head promptly, stowing her syringe away as she tutted in secret. She’d really hoped they would sustain slight injuries for her to treat.
“Let’s go, we should be near the end,” Lu Yin said as he looked at their surroundings. The beast wave had already charged towards the beginning of the path, making it much easier to move ahead now. There likely weren’t many cultivators left, either.
