Chapter 260: A Surprising Training Ground (2/2)

Zhanlong Daynight closed his eyes as if from exhaustion, but he soon opened them again. He roared out and maniacally laughed, “I said that I would be out again, Nightking Clan! I, Zhanlong Daynight, told you that before! Hahahaha.”

The few elders guarding the stone monument were annoyed. “How dare he? He’s just a young boy, and yet he dares to challenge the Nightkings.”

“That’s why he was sent to the dungeons, but it seems that he’s still unrepentant. We shouldn’t have released him.”

“Leave him be. Let him help the Daynight clan recover from our embarrassment. We need him to join the Outerverse trial. Otherwise, our move to force the Astral Combat Academy to send their top four to the trial will have been a waste of resources.”

“Hmph! We should have just used the Sealed Cage Technique on him.”

…

In the depths of the universe, within the Sword Clan in the First Flowzone, a mountain peak collapsed as sword qi tore the skies apart. A handsome man wearing jeans, a short-sleeve shirt, and a felt cap on his head walked out.

An elder in the distant raged, “Long Yun, you brat! You destroyed another mountain!”

The handsome man called Long Yun rolled his eyes. “So it’s my fault that the mountains aren’t sturdy enough?”

“You brat! Don’t you leave just yet. I’m going to teach you a lesson.”

Long Yun immediately ran away. “I’m going to the Outerverse! I heard that Shaoqiu was defeated, so let me go out and teach the person who defeated him a lesson.”

…

In Astral-1, Starsibyl looked at her gadget with a strange expression. “Let’s go and take a look at the Outerverse trial.”

…

In Astral-7, Yue Xianzi curiously said, “The Outerverse trial? Is the clan trying to remove the Daynight clan’s influence? They’re too naive if they think they can do so, but I don’t mind heading over to take a look.”

…

Although Silver hadn’t specifically told Lu Yin about the Outerverse trial, the Astral Combat Academy had notified him anyways since the top four from the Astral Combat Tournament were required to participate for some unknown reason.

Lu Yin was stunned when he received the notification. If he had just waited for a while more, he wouldn’t have been teased by Mira. But where should he go for the Outerverse trial? He looked at his gadget. The Outerverse was huge, and there were several training grounds that had been predetermined to be used for the Outerverse trial, so he was checking to see which training ground he should be heading towards.

Lu Yin’ became gleeful when a particular name on his gadget popped out to him. The Shenwu Continent?

Lu Yin wasn’t a stranger to the Shenwu Continent at all, since he had Possessed Wu Xia, the Shenwu Continent’s Crown Prince’s personal butler. This had given Lu Yin a basic understanding of Shenwu Continent. He never expected that the Outerverse trial would actually be held on the Shenwu Continent; this was definitely his lucky day!

Although the Shenwu Continent was in the Darkmist Weave, it was in a separate dimension, and normally, no one would be able to see it if they just passed by. It was much like Astral-10 in that one needed to be sent into the Shenwu Continent.

However, it was extremely difficult to enter the Shenwu Continent as it was sealed off by the five planets. Moreover, one couldn’t brazenly enter the continent as it wasn’t like Earth; the people of this continent had already gone to war with other civilizations of the universe. Even the Darkmist Weave hadn’t been able to do anything to this continent, as it held many skilled powerhouses, and one would definitely die if they were revealed to be from the universe.

From Wu Xia’s memory, there was even an organization called the Ming Constables. This organization had been specially set up to hunt down and kill trialtakers, and the members had special methods to discover foreigners from outside the continent. Hence, even Explorers wouldn’t be safe in the Shenwu Continent, which was why it had been selected as a training ground.

But no matter how dangerous the Shenwu Continent was, it being one of the options was still a godsend to Lu Yin, as he had already completed one of the primary missions of the trial.

There were two primary trial missions in the Shenwu Continent trial. The first was to find the coordinates of the five sealing planets and the second was to discover the burial ground of an elder of the Shenwu Continent. Lu Yin already knew one of the five sealing planets’ coordinates through Wu Xia’s memories. Thus, he had already completed that mission. As long as he could safely leave the Shenwu Continent, he would definitely get first place.

Lu Yin took a deep breath; this was great luck. He took his die out and thought about how amazing his innate gift was. Pilfer had retrieved some extremely rare things for him, such as the Cosmic Art and the hide of Progenitor Wushang.

Although Blackhole Disassembly wasn’t particularly useful, it still might come in handy if he encountered any rare materials in the future.
