Chapter 132: Extreme Flash (2/2)
Robbery was still the fastest way to earn money, especially from the elite students of the Innerverse. They were all extremely wealthy, unlike those students from The Great Yu Empire who only had a few crystals combined. The difference was just too vast. “Not bad. Feel free to challenge me at any time,” Lu Yin said encouragingly.
Lu Yin then took out a sign and wrote down his rules, which were the same ones that he had told Craynor. Challengers could either pay twenty thousand or bet their cosmic ring. He knew that there would definitely be throngs of students looking to cause trouble for him, and he was too lazy to explain the rules to everyone. Thus, he had written it all down on a sign.
Craynor was so incensed when he saw Lu Yin’s actions he coughed out some blood, angrily glared at Lu Yin, and then immediately left.
“Feel free to come again,” Lu Yin said as he beamed at Craynor.
Craynor coughed again and left promptly. The entire day had been a nightmare for him. He didn’t expect that Astral-10 would actually raise such a terrifying Melder. Besides that person, there weren’t many other Melders who could defeat Lu Yin.
Lu Yin’s smile faded and his face turned serious once Craynor left.
He had initially thought that, once he became a Melder, his overwhelming physical strength and battle force would make him invincible within his tier. However, after listening to Craynor’s descriptions, he was still lacking when compared to the other academies’ elites, and he might not even be able to defeat an Area Master, let alone a Realm Master. Moreover, the first three academies who controlled the Three Realms would definitely have even stronger powerhouses.
He was still too slow. He had to get stronger even more quickly, Lu Yin decided.
A huge silhouette suddenly appeared behind him. It was a half naked man with huge muscles that bulged like little hills on a scar-covered landscape. After appearing, he just stood there and watched Lu Yin silently.
Lu Yin turned around and was shocked when he saw the silhouette. He then seemed to remember something and bowed slightly. “Good day, Sandmaster.”
The huge silhouette was the Sandmaster. “Young fellow, you have successfully learnt battle force and hence have managed to obtain the approval of the Sand Ocean. You can choose one battle technique and I will develop it for you.”
Lu Yin had forgotten about this reward; since he had obtained the approval of the Rain Observatory, it was normal that he could do the same in the Sand Ocean as well. One needed battle Battle force to obtain the Sand Ocean’s approval, which made it a far more difficult requirement than the Rain Observatory’s. “Thank you, Mentor.”
“Alright, so what battle technique have you chosen?” The Sandmasterlooked at Lu Yin with a stern expression.
Lu Yin paused for quite some time before lifting his head and earnestly replying, “Flash.”
The Sandmaster’s eyes narrowed. “Show me.”
Lu Yin exerted some force through his calves, and his body disappeared. That was Flash.
At this moment, his Flash was slightly different from what Peach had originally taught him, as he had incorporated some concepts from White Flash into it as well, which helped to further increase his speed. This technique was currently strong enough to overcome common Melders and maybe even some Limiteers. Nevertheless, Lu Yin would never forget that time he had been trapped by someone else’s star energy during a teleportation battle. He didn’t want that to ever happen again, so he had to improve his Flash battle technique.
The Sandmaster was surprised, as he could see the influences of the Daynight Clan’s battle techniques in Lu Yin’s Flash. This young fellow was truly an enigma. On top of his terrifying physical strength, sealed body, and the art that Guanyu had mentioned, he now even had battle techniques from the Daynight Clan. It was good that he was talented, but his training was too messy.
“Young fellow, do you know what happens once your body breaks through a certain limit?” the Sandmaster asked casually. He placed his hand on Lu Yin’s shoulder as he continued, saying, “Let me see your limit.” Then, he exerted a startling force through his hand, causing Lu Yin to feel a sharp pain on his shoulder. The scene in front of him started changing, and the desert disappeared as if it had instantly moved away—no, it wasn’t the desert moving—it was him. His eyes couldn’t even keep up with how fast the surroundings were changing as the speed was simply too fast. A remnant line of the desert’s silhouette slowly disappeared behind him as a crack in space appeared beside him.
Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. A crack in space? This wasn’t something that a Melder could accomplish. How quickly were they moving to cause even space to crack apart?
The Sandmaster was stunned as well. He didn’t expect that this young fellow’s body still hadn’t reached its limits yet. This was great! He liked Lu Yin’s perseverance, so he continued to increase his speed.
A sharp pain started spreading across the surface of Lu Yin’s body as his skin started to crack. The crack in space flowed past him like a stream and he vaguely saw an image of Michelle for a moment before she disappeared in the next instant.
Suddenly, everything in front of him came to a stop. Lu Yin vomited and immediately fainted afterward—the speed had finally become too fast for his body to bear.
The Sandmaster was astonished. Lu Yin’s body had become this terrifying once the seal was removed. Not many Melders could even touch his level, which meant this person clearly came from an extremely powerful clan. But from where? He couldn’t tell as Lu Yin didn’t have any distinguishing characteristics; usually, the few clans who specialized in powerful physical bodies all had very obvious characteristics.
After vomiting for a while, Lu Yin finally felt better and laughed bitterly. “Sandmaster, that was too fast.”
The Sandmaster calmly replied, “That was the limit that your brain could undergo, and you can re-experience it by yourself. By the way, you still haven’t reached your body’s limits yet.”
Lu Yin was shocked. “I can achieve that speed on my own?”
The Sandmaster gazed into the depths of the desert as he replied, “Movement battle techniques require one’s body to be strong. Your body is very powerful, and you should be able to achieve that speed if you use it properly. Think about it on your own.” And with that, he disappeared.
Lu Yin thought about the Sandmaster’s words and then decided to sit down, slowly digesting the feeling of moving at extreme speed and the reaction of his body.
