Chapter 301: The Tournament Of The Stronges (2/2)
The monkey considered the question. “I don’t remember, but there was a word on the cover of his biography—‘Ku.’”
Ku? Is that one of the Seven Courts? Lu Yin wondered if there were any primeval surnames among the Seven Courts.
“Hey, you didn’t tell me about your connections, bro. Are they powerful? Wait, if they know about the Three Dark Hands, then they have to be doing well in your Innerverse,” the monkey rambled on.
“Tell me about the other four lords from your Spiritual Academy,” Lu Yin suddenly asked.
The Ghost Monkey was bewildered by this question. “Why are you asking about them? They all lost to me, so don’t even bother about them.”
With a beep, a notification popped up on Lu Yin’s gadget. It was the type of notification that would come through no matter what filters he had set up. The last two times he’d received something like this was when Astral-10 was about to arrive in the Outerverse and when Wendy Yushan had become an Outerverse Youth Council member.
‘Lu Yin of Astral-10 must immediately return to the Astral Combat Academy and prepare for the battle between the strongest academies in the universe, which will take place in two months. The participants will be the Human Domain’s Astral Combat Academy, the Astral Beast Domain’s Spiritual Academy, the Technocracy’s modified beings, and the Cosmic Sea’s people. You must perform well on behalf of the Human Domain and achieve great results.
Best of luck,
Ten Arbiters Council.’
Lu Yin sucked in a cold breath; the official notice had finally arrived. “Look at this yourself.”
“What? Those four from the Spiritual Academy are going to participate in this tournament that involves the other two Domains? That’s weird, why didn’t anyone inform me? I’m the strongest of them all! Those bastards…” The monkey was enraged at being neglected and kept cursing.
Lu Yin frowned, ignored the monkey, and immediately contacted Mira.
Not too long after, he gave up. The Ten Arbiters Council had already sent him an official notification, so Mira would definitely take care of matters in the Outerverse Youth Council in his stead for now. She was currently located in East Saint Dios as well. Lu Yin changed route to go straight to Astral-10, which was currently located in the Frostwave Weave. He would prepare for the upcoming tournament there.
There weren’t that many people involved in the tournament, but the fact that the Ten Arbiters had sent an official notification meant that this tournament was much more important than the Astral Combat Tournament. These participants would be the strongest from the best academies in the universe, and this tournament would be viewed by not just those in the Human Domain, but also those in the Giant Beast Astral Region, Technocracy, and even the Cosmic Sea.
The rewards were naturally extremely generous as well.
If he achieved good results in this tournament, Lu Yin had a feeling that his status would rise yet again. He would be making a vital contribution to humanity, so perhaps he would be able to get another Honor Point.
Two Honor Points would make a world of a difference. Lu Yin remembered that Uncle You Ling had mentioned that this was a very rare opportunity.
“Alright. Since they’re so heartless, they shouldn’t blame me for doing this.” The monkey was finally done cursing at this point. He paused and then informed Lu Yin, “I’ll give you an introduction to those four, Seventh Bro. Heh, those guys have no idea how well I know them. Feng Jiu, in particular… every time she transforms, that body, that face, and those sacred three-colored rays… It’s beautiful...”
“Hurry up!” Lu Yin rushed the monkey.
The Ghost Monkey coughed awkwardly. “First up, there’s Hua Yi. He’s a mouse with gold-green eyes. He’s only as big as a fist, but he can eat anything. His greatest weapons are his teeth, and he can also fit things that are multiple times his size into his mouth. His father once ate some of the phoenixes from your human’s Phoenix clan, and the Phoenix clan now see these mice as their mortal enemies. Hua Yi’s extremely quick, and that’s exactly what he makes use of the best. But with your speed, you’ll be completely fine.”
“Next up is Embermane, who is a Karmic Flame Sable. He’s a fire sable, but it’s said that he was born from a gem. When he was first born, he was apparently a bundle of fire that incinerated everything near him. This guy isn’t going to be easy to deal with. You’ll have to be careful and not let those flames get on you.”
Lu Yin interrupted, asking, “A Karmic Flame Sable? Why does that name sound so similar to the Blaze Realm’s Karmic Flame Sword?”
“Hehe, you’re asking the right person! Others might not know about this, but I secretly investigated him a bunch of times. He’s obsessed with the human’s Blaze Realm, so he really might know a secret about that Karmic Flame Sword.”
Lu Yin frowned. He still hadn’t forgotten about the Karmic Flame Sword that Arikar had tried to use, but never revealed as Feng Shang had defeated him before Arikar could even use the move. It was a fact, though, that just a single move from that technique was very powerful. If it had actually been used, then Feng Shang wouldn’t have been able to block it. If the Karmic Flame Sable had a move related to that technique, then he would be very dangerous.
“Go on,” Lu Yin ordered.
