Chapter 141: Leader (2/2)

“Xia Luo and Hui Daynight, come to the Arena.”

“Lu Yin and Michelle, come to the Treasury.”

Everyone was bewildered. Little Pao smiled at everyone before saying, “Congratulations! The mentors have decided to officially start teaching you. Work hard! An opportunity like this only comes about once a lifetime.”

Everyone grew excited and Lu Yin’s eyes also lit up. The fact that the mentors had decided to teach them was amazing news. He had previously received some pointers from the Rainmaster and Sandmaster; the Rainmaster had helped him breakthrough to the Melder Realm and had even simulated Nine Stacks from Three Stacks. The Sandmaster had shown him the limitless possibilities of Flash, including its ability to tear through the void. Had the mentors finally decided to teach them?

“Hurry up and head to the places that the mentors have mentioned,” Big Pao said enviously. The brothers had attended Astral-10 for many years, but they had never received such treatment.

Xia Luo’s eyes twinkled and he left with a gentle smile.

Silver slowly left with the rest.

Before leaving, Lulu waved her fists at Lu Yin.

Zhao Yilong left with bright eyes. The day would definitely come when he challenged these people again.

This competition had revealed everyone’s abilities to each other. Some were left in awe while others were excited.

Michelle was still overwhelmed by what she had seen. The power of Astral-10’s new students had far exceeded her expectations. Despite her formidable strength, she had still been eliminated in the first round. This would have been impossible in any of the other academies.

Lu Yin remembered that he and Michelle had been named by Old Cai. He glanced at Michelle. Why was she in a daze?

“Hey, we need to go to the Treasury,” Lu Yin shouted at Michelle.

Michelle glanced at him indifferently and then left without a word. Lu Yin was at a loss; this girl was the complete opposite of her sister. One was beautiful and alluring while the other was lovely and as cold as an iceberg. Such a waste of a beautiful face.

After everyone else left, Big Pao sighed ruefully. “I didn’t think that our Astral-10 would suddenly gather so many geniuses when it’s right on the edge of collapsing. The fact that our director managed to get the mentors to teach them means that he’s trying to revive the academy.”

Little Pao’s eyes shone brightly. “I think that we should also do something so that we won’t be looked down upon by our young friends.”

Big Pao found this difficult to bear. “It’s not a problem for us to become an Area Master, but a Realm Master is in a whole other league. The nine Realm Masters aren’t to be trifled with, we might not be able to hold our own against one even if we team up.”

“Let’s give it a shot. We can’t give up as long as there’s still hope. Not yet, though. We want to pave their way, but not with our lives,” Little Pao muttered.

Big Pao started stretching. “We haven’t done much lately, so I wouldn’t be surprised if those people have forgotten about us. Back then, we were pretty well-known in Astral-10 arena battles. I hope that there are still some people who remember us.”

Things were the same as ever in the Treasury. Old Cai was fiddling with his infinity-shaped beard as he looked at the two who had arrived before him. He lazily said, “Honestly, I don’t know how to teach you. All I can do is give you some missions, so do what you can to complete them.”

“There isn’t any mission that’s suitable for me,” Michelle said coldly.

Old Cai rolled his eyes. “These won’t be missions from the academy, but rather personal ones from me. It’s up to you if you want to do them. In the end, I was asked by the director to teach you even though I didn’t want to. It’s totally fine with me if you don’t want to.”

Michelle’s eyes twinkled as she thought it over. “Fine. I’ll do it.”

“What about you?” Old Cai glanced at Lu Yin.

He nodded as well. “Fine by me.”

“Since you’re fine with it, first go and win one hundred battles at the arena. Then you can go to the Six Daos.”

Lu Yin was confused. “The Six Daos? I can go there?”

“What a joke. You’ll be allowed in after you win a hundred battles. Now disappear so that I can start thinking about what’s good for this girl,” Old Cai said with an annoyed tone.

Lu Yin glanced at Michelle before leaving.

Old Cai thought it over a bit before his eyes lit up. “I remember now. Back when I was travelling through the Frostwave Weave, I actually found a good place that’s pretty suitable for you.” After saying that, he smirked.

Michelle frowned. How disgusting.

Everyone was busy taking advantage of the opportunity they had just received, and Lu Yin didn’t see Xia Luo or Hei Daynight at the arena; apparently they had been sent elsewhere by the Trialmaster. Lu Yin didn’t speak to the mentor and stepped up to the teleportation stone to start working towards the required one hundred victories.

With Lu Yin’s current strength, there were very few Melders who could defeat him. He could crush almost every Melder; only Limiteers and existences above them could defeat him.

He ended his first day with nineteen victories and five losses. During those battles, he once managed to reach a streak of eight consecutive wins, but then, he had lost to a Limiteer. That Limiteer had used battle force to crush Lu Yin and pulverize his organs. He only had one line of battle force, and while that was just the first stage, it was still much further than Lu Yin’s progression.
