Chapter 213: The Wind Of Seasons (1/2)

Xue Liuyun knitted her brows.

Liu Yin had a puzzled look in his eyes. Since when did Astral-9 have such a strong powerhouse? That perilous sense of danger was something that he could sense even from this distance.

Lu Yin squinted his eyes. This woman is not as simple as she seemed.

As an assassin, Calcifer had plenty of patience, but something about this woman was different. After some time passed without either of them making a move, the girl finally looked over and slowly raised her arms. With a just casual wave of her arms, a strong gray gale rose out of nowhere and engulfed the entire arena plains.

Goosebumps appeared on Calcifer’s skin, and he instinctively knew that an extreme calamity was headed his way. Without any hesitation, he appeared behind the woman with the intention of ending the battle as quickly as possible.

The woman was still standing at her original spot, not having moved an inch. Calcifer’s dagger stabbed towards her, fortified with his innate gift and star energy. But when it was just a centimeter away from the woman’s neck, Calcifer’s clothes started to decay. The rot quickly spread to his hair and skin, until finally, his entire body decayed and turned into dust that fell to the ground with a soft sigh.

Everyone fell silent. This was the umpteenth time that they had been shocked by something they saw in the tournament. And yet, this time, their shock also came with a new sense of fear; what the hell had just happened? Did they actually just see an individual who had been alive and kicking just moments ago, be reduced to a pile of ashes in a matter of seconds?

Feng Shang suddenly stood up and looked at the woman in disbelief. “Wind of Seasons! What we just witnessed was the Wind of Seasons.”

“The Wind of Seasons?” Kuang Wang asked in a confused tone.

Feng Shang gravely responded, “It is a battle technique that has been lost to the annals of time. It uses the elements of the four seasons to cause everything around it to decay into nothingness. This battle technique should have been lost, so how did she learn it?”

Lu Yin was stunned. The Wind of Seasons and decay… Surely, this did not involve the aspect of time, did it!?

“This time, the Astral Combat Tournament really has attracted a whole bunch of monsters. Calcifer himself was already quite powerful, powerful enough to kill an Area Master, but even he was rendered powerless against this monster,” Dao Bo exclaimed.

The fourth round of battles that had been chosen by drawing lots had now finished with this shocking performance by this woman named Chao Zhi. The fifth round would also be chosen by drawing lots, and it was scheduled to take place twelve hours later.

Lu Yin immediately left the Lifeseek Realm and reappeared on the trial zone mountain.

Many other people left the Lifeseek Realm as well. With such a lengthy competition, it was tiring even as a spectator. However, everything was worth it as they had been able to see many powerful competitors and many more battle techniques; even four-lined battle force had made an appearance.

In front of their screens, many people heaved sighs of relief. The exciting displays shown during these battles had kept these viewers restlessly glued to their screens. At this moment, many were starting to feel tired and took this opportunity to rest.

On Astral-10’s trial zone mountain, Lu Yin opened his eyes. The first thing that entered his eyes was Michelle’s visage, who was not too far away from him. She had also woken up. Michelle’s eyes quickly met Lu Yin’s, and apart from a slight look of surprise on Michelle’s face, she held no other expression.

Coco opened her eyes as well, and she happily rushed to Lu Yin when she saw him. “Big brother Lu, we all thought you were dead! Is there any truth to what they say happened in the pirate port?”

Lu Yin laughed. “Of course not! If I was really hit by a weapon like that, then nobody could have saved me.”

Coco stuck out her tongue. “I was also skeptical of the news. The mentor said that the power of those light beams is enough to kill powerful people at the Explorer level. You wouldn’t stand a chance as a Melder.” After saying that, Coco suddenly started to study Lu Yin’s body more closely. Then, with a face full of longing, she asked, “Big brother Lu, are you hurt?”

“Nope, not a scratch,” Lu Yin replied simply and firmly, disappointing Coco.

Big Pao and Little Pao arrived as well, and they both cast strange looks at Lu Yin. “Junior, did you feel a lot of pressure from sitting up there with those Realm Masters?”

Lu Yin shrugged noncommittally. “Not really, they’re pretty easy to get along with.”

Big Pao laughed oddly. “Really? You can tell us if you felt pressured. We are all brothers here; there’s nothing to hide.

Lu Yin laughed.

Xia Luo appeared as well, and his appearance was immediately met by Coco’s admiration. His easy victory over Jared had astonished everyone.

Although Lu Yin had easily crushed Long Yi, Jared’s strength was well above the sylvan dragon’s. Having said that, Lu Yin’s crushing of Long Yi had also slightly moved Big Pao, causing him to see Lu Yin as someone dear to his heart.

“Senior Little Pao, how did you feel after you were defeated so easily by that no good little punk from Astral-9?” Zora asked Little Pao as she suddenly appeared.

Little Pao pasted an obviously fake smile on his face. “What pleasant weather we have today.”

“Senior Little Pao, please don’t change the subject!” Coco cried out.

“Yes, Senior Little Pao, don’t change the subject,” Silver added on as he appeared with his usual large, sly smile.

His sudden appearance caused Coco to hop behind Zora. Even Schutz, who had just arrived, was put on edge. This man was terrifying and he gave off the vibe of a bloody butcher of men.

“Now that everyone is present… Lu Yin, Xia Luo, and Fox face, let me remind you all once. If you come across that bitch Grandini, do not go soft on her! Use your full force to attack her. Don’t give her any room to catch her breath,” Lulu yelled once she appeared.

Lu Yin curiously asked, “Do you have some sort of grudge against her?”

Lulu was miffed. “That woman dared to mock me! She said that I was small.”

Everyone reflexively shifted their eyes down to Lulu’s chest.

Lulu’s face turned red as she bared her teeth and clenched her fists tightly, creating cracking sounds. Everyone sensed the atmosphere quickly turning awkward.
