Chapter 225: Lu Yin vs. Nightqueen Yanqing (1/2)

Dao Bo felt helpless. Of all the possible opponents he could have run into during this tournament, the ones who he wanted to avoid the most were the Mavis family members. He was a Lockbreaker, which meant that his control and understanding of star energy naturally surpassed all others’. He was confident in his chances even against Han Chong, but the Mavis family members were an exception. This clan focused purely on strength, and even he had no way of dealing with their abnormal physical strength.

Outside the plains, many of the academy’s Lockbreakers sighed. There was no doubt about Dao Bo’s power; he had even defeated Mira once. He was definitely a powerhouse, but he had run into the wrong opponent in this match as the Mavis clan could be considered the nemesis of Lockbreakers.

“Bring it on!” Grandini shouted fiercely as she punched out at Dao Bo.

Dao Bo was speechless. He did not enjoy verbal sparring while he fought, and he would much rather be fighting against Xia Luo right now. In his opinion, that fight had been a contest between two civilized humans and was much more elegant. This woman gave him an impression that they had regressed back to a barbaric age.

He hurriedly dodged to the side as the spot where he had been standing was blasted into a giant pit. Several successive booms sounded out as the diameter of the pit increased and a shock wave rippled towards him.

Dao Bo sighed. When both of his feet touched the ground again, heaven and earth changed, turning a silver-grey color as another terrifying shock wave swept over the arena plains. Dao Bo was using his domain to suppress Grandini.

Now that she was within the domain, Grandini’s every action was under Dao Bo’s observation. The power behind her moves, their trajectory, and even the direction that she was dodging in was all revealed to Dao Bo as long as she was inside his domain. Grandini would not be able to beat Dao Bo with her current strength, but she still had her battle force.

Right after Dao Bo activated his domain, a dominating purple battle force soared into the sky, shocking everyone. Another four-lined battle force had appeared in this tournament.

Dao Bo looked at Grandini’s eyes which were filled with battle intent. He didn’t have much of a choice, so he calmly raised his hand and directly admitted defeat.

Grandini was just about to charge over and rush into battle, but she froze when she saw Dao Bo’s action. She was furious. “Are you a man?! How can you admit defeat so quickly?!”

Dao Bo sighed lamentably. “My attacks cannot break through the defense of a Mavis clan member who has four-lined battle force. However, you can’t win either, as your attacks simply cannot hit me.”

Dao Bo begrudgingly replied, “Since neither of us can win, and a real man will not fight a woman, I admitted defeat.”

“Are you looking down upon women? Go and die!” Grandini charged over again with a raised fist.

Lu Yin lifted his head; this scene was very familiar to him. Back during Astral-10’s new student competition, Lulu had trashed Schutz in a similar manner and then forced him apologize to her.

Dao Bo, however, very quickly left the Lifeseek Realm, causing Grandini’s fist to land on thin air. She was unhappy about what had just happened. Although she seemed more refined than Lulu on the surface, it seemed that the Mavis family could never shake off certain bad habits, such as being too eager for a fight.

While she stewed in her thoughts, Grandini’s eyes swept up to those on the high peak, and she especially focused on Lu Yin as her purple battle force soared even higher.

Lu Yin laughed when he noticed Grandini’s aggressive gaze. Instead of responding to her, he got up and looked at Nightqueen Yanqing. “It’s our turn.”

Nightqueen Yanqing got up as well and shot Lu Yin an arrogant look. “I’ll warn you beforehand—you better not admit defeat. Otherwise, my Nightking clan will show you what true desperation is.”

Lu Yin’s smile faded until he responded with a cold tone, “Is that so? It seems to me that you’re targeting me.”

“The Nightking clan has no need to target anyone. In fact, it would be difficult to find someone who is qualified to be crushed by me. I simply don’t want it to end too quickly.” Nightqueen Yanqing then stepped forward and appeared on the plains.

Lu Yin had a depressed look on his face. It felt as if he had been entangled with the Nightking clan from the very start. On Earth, there had been Qingyu. In the Umbral Butterfly Weave, there had been Zhuo Daynight. In Astral-10, there was Hui Daynight. And now, Nightqueen Yanqing had appeared as well. It was as if fate enjoyed throwing him together with this clan.

“Brother Lu, don’t mind her. That’s just her personality. Women are bound to act irrationally on certain days.” Feng Shang had reappeared and shamelessly returned to the high peak. He was the only defeated student leader who had thick enough skin to return.

Starsibyl turned to Feng Shang. “What did you say?”

Feng Shang quickly turned embarrassed. “That- I did not say anything, haha.”

Starsibyl looked at Lu Yin but did not say anything.

Lu Yin stepped forward and appeared onto the plains to face Nightqueen Yanqing. Many people thought that this Astral Combat Tournament would have a special event for the last few battles between the top contestants. But in reality, only a few knew that this was the last match that would be publicly broadcast.

If Liu Shaoqiu’s Sword Sect was not very well-known, then the Nightking clan was the exact opposite. Their trademark characteristic was long, black-and-white hair with a single strand of grey in the center. In some sense, this had become the symbol of the Nightking clan, the strongest clan of the entire universe.

Be it the Outerverse or the Innerverse, the Nightkings of the Daynight clan represented unparalleled terror with their clan’s countless geniuses.

In the Great Yu Empire, Huo Xiaoling, Jenny Auna, Jeraldine, Gerlaine, Eddy, and everyone who had battled against Qingyu watched on with wide eyes. They could still vividly recall the final battle during Earth’s trial and Qingyu’s stunning power. Back then, it had Lu Yin who defeated Qingyu, and even though he had arduously climbed to his current level, Lu Yin now had to face this clan once again.

Nightqueen Yanqing was not the same as Qingyu. Qingyu had only entered the Nightking clan after awakening the power of a Nightking as a Daynight clan member. Nightqueen Yanqing, on the other hand, had been born into the Nightking clan. The resources that were available to her for cultivation and battle techniques were incomparable to Qingyu’s.

The battle between Liu Shaoqiu and Lu Yin had not emotionally impacted the audience, but this one with Nightqueen Yanqing brought an inner chill that crept into all their hearts. The Nightking clan’s fame made all the difference.
