Chapter 151: Shocking Yu Academy (1/2)

Lu Yin left after he greeted the officials; it was apparent that none of them had any energy to entertain him at this moment. However, just as he was about to leave, a flying vehicle suddenly changed directions and careened towards Lu Yin with no intentions of avoiding him.

Lu Yin found this strange, but he easily dodged the ship before turning around to look at who had tried to run him over. A man exited the vehicle and glanced at Lu Yin with a provoking, cruel smile on his face.

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed coldly once he saw the man, as he recognized his face. This man was from the Outerverse Youth Council and was one of the two Limiteers who followed Bazeer. No wonder he’s here looking for trouble.

“I was just going to say that I had great luck today, but I never expected to run into you! What? Did you get chased out from Astral-10 as well?” the man sneered while glaring at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin disdainfully answered, “Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me.”

The Limiteer was infuriated by Lu Yin’s contemptuous response; he didn’t expect that Lu Yin would dare to be so rude to a Limiteer as him. “We can start by talking about what you did to Ghostfire. Do you realize that you crippled a genius?”

“Genius? More like an idiot! He was just a pathetic thing that only knew how to avoid attacks with his innate gift. His body was so unbelievably weak that I crippled him with a single attack. Can you really call that a genius?” Lu Yin taunted.

The Limiteer clenched his fists to suppress his boiling anger. “There are competitions within the Youth Council as well, and Ghostfire was a genius that we groomed. Since you crippled him, I’m going to do the same to you right now and teach you why you can’t offend certain people! You’ll regret this for the rest of your life!” The Limiteer then dashed towards Lu Yin and punched out, his surging star energy drawing everyone’s attention.

Lu Yin’s gaze turned cold. This person was a Limiteer as well as a member of the Outerverse Youth Council, and he would be considered very powerful by the Outerverse’s standards. However, to Lu Yin, who was used to battling against Limiteers from the Astral Combat Academy, this man was too weak. He was at most comparable to Craynor.

To be fair, it was already quite impressive that this Limiteer could be considered on par with the second ranked fighter on the Blaze Realm Rankings. Even though he was just a Limiteer, a Limiteer from the Outerverse was usually only comparable to a Melder from the Innerverse. No matter how outstanding this person was, he was still miles away from Lu Yin.

Bang!

Lu Yin easily blocked the Limiteer’s attack, causing the palace guards to stop in shock. They had been running forwards to defend Lu Yin, but apparently, there was no need for them to interfere.

Lu Yin coldly replied, “I’m teaching you who you cannot afford to offend.” He then used Three Stacks to completely smash the man into the ground, creating a small pit in the earth.

Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded. How could a Limiteer powerhouse from the Outerverse Youth Council possibly be completely defeated by Lu Yin? How long has it been since he joined Astral-10? Could the Astral Combat Academy really have caused his power to make such an amazing leap?

Lu Yin looked down at the Limiteer in the pit and apathetically said, “Go and tell Bazeer to remember what he said in the past. I will join the Outerverse Youth Council.”

He then left without waiting for a response while the Limiteer gritted his teeth. He was enraged, but also stunned. This person had improved greatly after such a short trip away from the Great Yu Empire. He had only ever been dealt a crushing defeat this badly from an Explorer, but Lu Yin had handed him one as just a Melder. How was he so strong?

A few of the nearby officials looked at each other in surprise; King Zishan had changed drastically. If, in the past, he had just been an average person who was trying to reap some benefits from his new position, he was now a young talent who had just unveiled his true power. While he was still too weak to have any real impact in the empire, he had displayed his potential, and no one would ever underestimate him again. No wonder millions of youngsters had taken the entrance exam when Astral-10 had arrived at the Frostwave Weave; an elite academy could truly transform a person.

The King Zishan Palace looked exactly the same as before. Lu Yin searched through the entire mansion, but he still wasn’t able to find any clues as to where the Zishan Clan’s treasure could be. He sighed reluctantly; it wasn’t his fault if he couldn’t find it. He looked up at the three rings in the sky and his eyes flashed. Is it time to learn the complete Sky Beast Claw? While it might not be necessarily useful anymore, I still have the desire to learn it in its entirety and to challenge the five Hall Masters… It’s time to test their strength.

Although the upheaval in the Great Yu Empire had caused some elites to leave Yu Academy, most of them had remained behind.

One day later, Gerbach was sitting at the top of a tower, gazing at the lake below him with a sad expression. He was wondering whether the empire would be able to successfully weather the oncoming storm.

His gadget started beeping, and a quick glance at it caused Gerbach’s eyes to light up and a smile to spread across his face. “He’s got guts, challenging all five Hall Masters. It looks like he’s learned a lot during his time at Astral-10. Regardless, the five of us earned our positions through our genuine ability. He’s dreaming if he thinks that he can catch up to us within a few months just because he’s improved quickly.” Gerbach then immediately notified the other Hall Masters. It had been a long time since anyone had challenged one of them, and Lu Yin was challenging all of them at once.

Actually, Schutz is also in Astral-10, so the two of them have probably battled before. Since he’s challenging us now, then could he really be that confident in himself? No, we can’t let him do this. At most, we can let him replace Schutz. But we can’t let him defeat us all, Gerbach thought to himself, growing excited.

Huo Zhong, Lokang, and Tianming soon received the news and all of them headed to the formcast pool. Lu Yin had been waiting there for some time when Tianming arrived. He was the first of the Hall Masters to reach the pool.

“King Zishan, congratulations on joining Astral-10,” Tianming warmly greeted.

Lu Yin smiled as he responded, “Hall Master Tianming, you’re too polite. I’m here to repay you for teaching me the Three Stacks technique in the past.”

Tianming was puzzled, “Repay me?”

Lu Yin nodded. “We’ll talk about this later. Someone’s coming.”

Tianming was surprised. Someone’s coming? He hadn’t sensed anyone approaching them.

Lokang arrived soon after their brief exchange, and Tianming looked at Lu Yin more seriously. This person had changed greatly and was quite terrifying now.
