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

…

Not far away, Hui Daynight looked at the group disdainfully and thought to himself, What a gathering of low class life forms. The powerful figures of the Daynight clan were used to traveling alone.

Zhao Yilong, Meng Yue, and Darkvoid also woke up, not far from where the other students had gathered on the trial zone mountain. They were all going to rest until the fifth elimination round began in twelve hours.

At the peak of the realm mountain, Liu Xiaoyun watched the scene down below her. Once Lu Yin appeared, everyone had rushed to gather around him. It was a natural charisma and not his strength that had attracted everyone; this man had a certain magnetism to him.

“Oh yeah, who has a spare personal gadget on them? I need to borrow one,” Lu Yin said.

Lulu readily threw him one. “Here, take it.”

“Oh wow, a limited edition one! This is made from a metal that can survive a powerful Explorer’s attack! It must have cost a fortune,” Coco cried out in alarm.

Everyone grew envious when they saw Lu Yin holding his new personal gadget.

Lulu raised her chin proudly; she was a Mavis and did not lack for money.

Lu Yin did not stand on ceremony and immediately equipped the gadget. As for whether or not he needed to pay for it, that was a matter that they could discuss later!

After logging in to view his messages, Lu Yin saw that many people had tried to contact him. Among them were Undying Yushan, Gerbach, Coco, and the others. There were also some unknown numbers that Lu Yin guessed came from his home. There were more than a hundred of these unknown numbers in total, and it seemed like his family must be very concerned about him. However, there was no need to contact them now; the whole universe could see him.

Eh? There’s actually another person who tried to reach me? It’s Mira, the Red Lotus Witchbow.

When Lu Yin saw that Mira had been trying to contact him, he subconsciously glanced at Michelle. Between these two beauties, Mira was more alluring and Michelle colder.

Mira had once told Lu Yin that, if he produced some results at the Astral Combat Academy, she would give him a recommendation for the Outerverse Youth Council. Lu Yin considered his options; it would be difficult to choose between the Outerverse Youth Council and the Council of Astral Academy.

A short while later, everyone dispersed to get some rest.

Lu Yin did not bother thinking about extraneous matters. His current priority was the Astral Combat Tournament; everything else could wait.

At the same time, atop the peak of Astral-3’s trial zone mountain, Nightqueen Yanqing had a solemn expression that contained a trace of fear as she looked at the screen before her. An imposing man was looking back at her. “Remember, you cannot be defeated in the Astral Combat Tournament. No matter who the opponent, the Nightking clan must prevail.”

Apprehension flashed through Nightqueen Yanqing’s eyes when she looked at the screen, but she responded simply. “Understood.”

Within the display, not far behind the imposing man, there was another figure respectfully bowing slightly. Nightqueen Yanqing did not recognize him, but if Lu Yin were present, he would have seen the man in an instant and become furious—Liu Shaoge. He should have been following Nightking Qingyu, but he had appeared behind this man on this day.

On Astral-6’s trial zone mountain, Charon awoke, and less than a kilometer away, Frankfurt regained consciousness as well.

Originally, since both of them were Area Masters, their positions had been equal. However, Frankfurt now subconsciously avoided Charon’s gaze. This Astral Combat Tournament had revealed their true strength to the public. Frankfurt could only be considered to be an average Area Master while Charon was definitely a top-tier one who could rival a Realm Master.

The twelve hours passed quickly, and soon, everyone reappeared within the Lifeseek Realm.

The very first match of the fifth round featured a Realm Master.

Nightqueen Yanqing against Qu Feng.

Qu Feng had been very crafty in his few previous battles. Darkvoid and Bonny Phoenix were not weak by any means, but neither of them had been able to display their full powers against Qu Feng. His attack movements were characteristic of a Erudite Flowzone denizen, and he conducted himself modestly. He certainly lived up to being a person of culture.

A scholar would pay attention to righteousness, but the Daynight clan’s style consisted of darkness. Qu Feng’s face grew heavy when he saw that he was facing Nightqueen Yanqing.

“Use it, your domain,” Nightqueen Yanqing said arrogantly as soon as she appeared into the arena.

Qu Feng had a solemn expression, and his star energy formed a brush. A strange fluctuation swept across the field as the black, ink-like star energy swept out.

The crowd stared at this scene even though they had become familiar with its power. Darkvoid and even Bonny had been defeated with this attack, neither of them able to use their innate gifts.

Nightqueen Yanqing’s eyes remained condescending. “Your domain is strong, but do you really think that you can seal my Nightking clan? The people of the Erudite Flowzone are really too naive.” She then directly charged towards Qu Feng, sweeping out with a leg. Even while the leg was flying through the air, purple veins appeared as an incomparably tough four-lined battle force covered heaven and earth before exploding and crushing everything, including Qu Feng. The entire arena exploded.

Many were stunned by what they saw, as another four-lined battle force wielder had appeared; this time, they were from the Nightking clan.

Nightqueen Yanqing’s power shocked many. This was a Nightking powerhouse, one whose strength was enough to instantly take out an expert who had reached the fifth round.

Atop the high peak overlooking the field, Han Chong shook his head. Qu Feng’s domain was too one-sided; it strove to limitlessly increase his battle technique while also trying to seal everything. It could be instantly wiped out when he was faced against a stronger opponent.

Nightqueen Yanqing calmly returned to the high peak. At that moment, it felt as if she had finally revealed a sliver of the Nightking clan’s true terror. Those of the Daynight clan possessed more than just supreme battle techniques.

The next battle was Feng Shang’s, and it was another easy victory for him. Tu Bo was next, and he also won effortlessly. His water flowed gently yet it was unstoppable.

The fourth battle attracted all eyes, as Astral-1’s student leader was next in line, and her opponent was Liu Tang.
