Chapter 223: Nemesis Of The Daynight Clan (2/2)

Silver walked over to Lu Yin with a beaming expression. “Very awesome! You can force me to use about a third of my strength now.”

Lu Yin indifferently replied, “I only used a fifth.”

“I would only need a tenth of my strength to defeat that Thirteen Swords guy.”

“I didn’t even use a tenth.”

The others were confused at the two’s strange back-and-forth.

At this point, Liu Xiaoyun approached them, causing everyone to involuntarily make some room for her. She looked at Lu Yin seriously with a trace of disbelief still present in her eyes. “How was the First Sword?”

Lu Yin thought about it seriously before replying, “Very sharp and very swift.”

“The second?” Liu Xiaoyun continued.

Lu Yin blurted out, “A large scope and a powerful attack.”

“And the third?” Liu Xiaoyun stared closely at Lu Yin, but he just smiled slightly.

Liu Xiaoyun was disappointed. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked.”

Lu Yin smiled and said, “Madam Nalan saved me once, so I don’t mind telling you this. The Third Sword…” Everyone stared at him in anticipation as he spoke his next words. “…I didn’t feel a thing from it.”

The others were caught off guard by his response, and they simply could not understand his words. Liu Xiaoyun’s disappointed expression deepened as she bitterly said, “It seems that this universe really does have geniuses like you who are immune to the Third Sword. You might actually be a natural nemesis of the Daynight clan.”

This sentence shocked Hui Daynight, and he whirled around with a puzzled face. Why was being immune to the Sword Sect’s Third Sword indicative of being the Daynight clan’s nemesis?

Lu Yin understood what Liu Xiaoyun was saying; the Daynight clan’s battle techniques all had a similar effect to the Third Sword, which was targeting one’s spiritual force. If he was truly immune to attacks against his spiritual force, then the Daynight clan’s battle techniques would become normal battle techniques when used against him. Of course, despite Lu Yin’s understanding, he did not express it and instead looked at Liu Xiaoyun with a puzzled face, like Hui Daynight.

“Be careful of the Nightking clan,” Liu Xiaoyu said after taking a long, careful look at Lu Yin. She then turned around to leave.

Lu Yin sighed, as he realized that he might have made a mistake. He should not have revealed the fact that the Third Sword had been completely ineffective against him. If even Liu Xiaoyun believed he was the nemesis of the Daynight clan, then what about the Daynight clan itself? He involuntarily recalled what he had seen when he had entered the Daynight clan’s inheritance corridor as well as the topmost name on the stone tower outside the long corridor—Nightking Zhenwu. He had a feeling that this name was perhaps a mountain that he would inevitably have to cross one day.

Just as Lu Yin was about to go and rest, his expression changed. He briskly walked out of the trial zone mountain and to the entrance, where he respectfully bowed to the Trialmaster. “Mentor, were you looking for me?”

The Trialmaster opened his eyes, revealing a trace of shock on his wizened face. “Little brat, you caused a great deal of astonishment when you defeated an inheritor of the Thirteen Swords.”

Lu Yin remained humble. “My luck was good. He could not display the Fourth Sword.”

The Trialmaster shook his head as he smiled. “It wasn’t that he could not display it, but rather that it was ruined by you.”

A light flashed across Lu Yin’s eyes.

The mentor looked at him seriously. “You intentionally damaged but did not destroy the star energy sword that he materialized. Thus, his sword would not be able to bear his full strength at a key moment, and when his sword dissipated, his energy would spiral into chaos and allow you to unleash the fatal strike. Correct?”

Lu Yin smiled wryly. “Mentor, I can’t hide anything from you.”

The mentor smiled back in response. “Little brat, that was very smart. Even in that heated battle, you did not reveal that technique.”

Lu Yin’s heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that these mentors had seen through his Cosmic Art. The Rainmaster and Sandmaster had vaguely mentioned it, and the crazy headmaster had even simulated the ninth star for him. However, this was the Trialmaster’s first time mentioning it. “Mentor, please give me your guidance.”
