Chapter 243: Lu Yin vs. Silver (2/2)

During this time, Lu Yin also picked up a habit of standing quietly in the spacecraft’s corridor and gazing into the heavens. Everytime he stared into the darkness of outer space, he could feel his own insignificance.

“Long time no see, captain,” a grinning Silver greeted from nearby Lu Yin.

Lu Yin indifferently replied, “I heard that you’ve made quite a few contributions.”

“Captain, don’t say it like that. My contributions are nothing compared to yours. I heard that you even met Commander Shui Chuanxiao,” Silver marvelled.

Lu Yin turned towards his fellow student. “Have you heard of the Hall of Honor?”

Silver’s eyes widened a little as his smile momentarily vanished, but it quickly returned. “Of course, it’s one of the strongest human powers.”

“How do they compare to you guys?”

“Captain, what are you saying? I’m only a regular student! How could I compare to the Hall of Honor? Captain, stop joking with me!” Silver acted shocked.

“Let’s have a match.”

Silver’s eyes widened as he readily replied, “Alright.”

Lu Yin’s lips curled; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. From his first ever meeting with Silver, the two had only seriously exchanged blows twice. The first was under the pale moonlight outside Jinlin city, and the other was during the assassination attempt on Zhang Dingtian’s life at the capital on Earth. After leaving Earth, they had not seriously fought again. It was time to smash his first into this guy’s sly, foxy face.

There were preset dueling arenas on the warship, and Lu Yin casually chose a gravity training room for their battle.

“This is a gravity training room that’s specifically designed for duels. How would you like the gravity to be set?”

Silver shrugged. “Whatever.”

Lu Yin immediately increased it to a hundred times gravity, which was the highest that an average Limiteer could withstand.

The moment the increased gravity took effect, the smile on Silver’s face vanished. His palm flashed as his butterfly knife emitted a white radiance.

Lu Yin turned around as his eyes flashed. He instinctively retreated as a powerful shockwave pulsed through the room straight towards him, even slicing into the wall of the gravity training room. The wall was fully capable of withstanding a battle between peak Limiteers, but it had been torn open with the first atack.

This was Silver’s domain, and it represented his art of killing. Even Lu Yin had not sensed Silver’s approach, and this was under a hundred times gravity as well. Silver’s speed under normal gravity could only be imagined.

Consecutive brilliant flashes could barely be seen in the room as the butterfly knife sliced through the void. The ephemeral blade flashed, and traces of spatial cracks appeared around it as it approached Lu Yin. He calmly stepped back and closely observed the blade’s trajectory while nine stars revolved around his body. When the butterfly knife appeared within the range of Lu Yin’s Cosmic Art, each possible trajectory was clearly reflected in Lu Yin’s eyes. That blade seemed normal as it streaked past, but it was filled with a strength that could shake the void.

Lu Yin reached out and grabbed Silver’s wrist, causing Silver’s eyes to widen in shock. The butterfly knife on his hand rapidly spun towards Lu Yin’s palm, but Lu Yin blasted out with his palm. The Nine Stacks shook the void, causing the blade to deviate and slash through empty space. At the same time, Lu Yin’s left palm struck out towards Silver’s abdomen. But Silver seemed to have predicted Lu Yin’s attack, and he avoided it before Lu Yin even moved. Silver’s entire body vanished as he reappeared a few meters away from Lu Yin. Lu Yin’s palm landed on nothing, causing the void to distort as the resulting shockwaves caused a loud rumble in the gravity training room.

This sound attracted many of the nearby soldiers’ attention, but no one dared to enter as very few of them could withstand a hundred times gravity.

This duel had no earth-shattering explosions, and it even felt gentle as the two circled one another.

“Captain, not using battle force is rather condescending,” Silver casually said with a smile.

Lu Yin’s face turned solemn. “You’ve seen through my attack pattern?”

“What do you think?” Silver shot back with a beam.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. Not only was Silver reading his attack pattern, but Silver’s domain also had an immeasurable ability that gave absolute control to the wielder within the space of the domain. This was no exaggeration, as Silver had only used his butterfly knife and no battle techniques to block all of Lu Yin’s attacks.

Lu Yin had been wondering if he could defeat Silver while at the peak of the Melder realm and without using battle force. However, it seemed that this would be easy as this person was too crafty, but not all hope was lost yet, as his Cosmic Art could make anything possible. Lu Yin thought about it before advancomg again with an exploratory palm.

Silver was stunned. Still not using battle force? He’s really confident in himself.

The butterfly knife streaked forward in a weird arc before passing through the void and heading straight for Lu Yin’s neck. Lu Yin dodged the path of the knife and steadily retreated to the wall. One palm slammed into the wall and tore out a chunk of metal while the butterfly knife coldly flashed before slicing towards his neck again. Lu Yin’s eyes glinted as he firmly struck at Silver with the chunk of metal.

Silver’s pupils constricted. This trajectory is…? He immediately retreated and then stared at Lu Yin in shock. Silver was truly shaken this time, and a rarely seen dumbfounded expression appeared on his face. Even Starsibyl had not stupefied him to such an extent. This was because Lu Yin had just completely copied Silver’s own attack trajectory.

“You have learned my attack path?”
