Chapter 118: Michelle’s Shock (2/2)
……
Michelle headed right back to the Rain Observatory upon completing a mission, watching the constant green rain. She’d only taken on a mission so she could go outside and report the situation in Astral-10 to the Ten Arbiters’ Council; there was something wrong with Astral-10’s teaching methods, and she was of the opinion that it didn’t have the right to control access to the Nine Trial Zones. Unfortunately, the Council still needed some time to make a decision on the issue, so she could only return to the Academy and gather more evidence.
Rain splattered on the limestone platform and cooled Michelle’s feet. She looked at it calmly, observing the changes in star energy intently. A silhouette brushed past the distance, but she didn’t pay it much attention. It was just one of the new Sentinel students; while he deserved praise for entering Astral-10, someone like that wasn’t uncommon in the Innerverse.
Lu Yin flew past the rain and was initially going to land on a platform in front of him, but he realized that there was someone there already and thus went looking for a different tree. Now, his perception of the rain all around was entirely different. He could see every minute change clearly; every drop of water was going through infinite variations in a moment. This wasn’t ordinary rain as he’d once thought, but drops of miniature worlds that changed constantly.
Five more days of practice later, he lifted a palm filled with star energy. The energy materialized and transformed into wind, fire, and even joined the rain, eventually forming his name and flying into the rain.
The word Michelle was pushed into the rain simultaneously. Although the two of them were an entire tree apart and quite far from each other, their names were close enough in the rain that each could see the other’s as they pushed the rain apart and rushed into the distance.
Michelle didn’t pay much attention at first, thinking that Lu Yin’s name would disappear quickly, but it stayed for quite a while. Eventually, her name was on the verge of dissipating and his didn’t seem changed in the slightest. Her expression changed and she looked into the distance in shock.
In the depths of the rain, the Rainmaster was watching the scene with surprise, “This kid was only gone for a few days, how is there such a large change? His star energy control is already in the realm of infinite change before anyone else.”
Lu Yin watched his name flying into the distance, believing that the realm of infinite change would be enough to gain the Rain Observatory’s approval. His name continued to soar long after Michelle’s had shattered; her control was very close to the realm of infinite change, but she wasn’t there yet. Having experienced Da Lei’s control and star energy, he was far beyond her now.
Three people watched two words soar through half the Rain Observatory before they shattered. Unfortunately, he wasn’t familiar enough with his star energy control just yet. He ended up sitting down and staring at the rain, hoping to obtain the Rain Observatory’s approval in the shortest time.
On the other platform, Michelle took off and flew towards Lu Yin, interrupting his solemn practice with her intoxicating scent. Lu Yin breathed in and turned around to look at the stunning woman, but she was indifferent to his gaze and asked curiously, “How did you do it?”
“Do what?”
“Your energy control. You reached the realm of infinite change.”
Lu Yin lifted his hand and the star energy formed various shapes in his palm, “It’s as simple as this, why?”
She raised a brow, “You couldn’t do this when you first joined.”
“Who told you that?” he smiled, “One just has to keep a low profile. Showoffs end up disliked by everyone, have you seen Hui Daynight?”
