Chapter 313: Lu Yin’s Worth (1/2)

Boom!

The earth rumbled, and a figure vanished from a swamp.

“Astral-10,” Lu Yin said again as he gradually vanished from the swampy scenery of the battlefield. He had succeeded in snatching a second teleportation stone.

Now, his battle statistics were 134 victories to 108 defeats. His longest winning streak was nineteen, and if it were not for his loss against Alliance, he might even have reached thirty straight victories, which would give him the qualifications to challenge anyone on the Top 100 Rankings.

“Mentor, I’ve won a second teleportation stone.”

The Trialmaster opened his eyes and nodded. “Ask away.”

Lu Yin actually wanted to ask if a sourcebox as large as a planet could exist, but it would be pointless to ask this question at the present moment. There would be plenty of opportunities to learn more about this in the future, so it would be better for Lu Yin to either ask about more relevant topics or obtain an opportunity to lockbreak a sourcebox in front of the Trialmaster.

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed. “I have no questions at this time and I would like to seek Mentor’s permission to lockbreak before you.”

The Trialmaster grunted. “Sure, you get one opportunity.”

Lu Yin was delighted. “Thank you, Mentor.”

He intended to continue taking part in the ported battles, but he was abruptly stopped by the Trialmaster. “There’s someone who wants to speak with you.” The mentor then pulled out his ancient gadget. Lu Yin immediately knew who wanted to see him—Nightking Yuanjing.

Lu Yin had waited a long while for Nightking Yuanjing to contact him, as many things could only be solved with his help. “Hey monkey, the person who we’ve been waiting for is finally here.”

The Ghost Monkey chuckled. “Hehe, I never thought there would be a day when I would receive guidance from a Nightking elder.”

Nightking Yuanjing appeared on a screen and revealed a gentle expression towards Lu Yin. “Kid, we meet again.”

Lu Yin saluted respectfully. “Student Lu Yin pays his respects to Elder Yuanjing.”

Yuanjing casually waved a hand and smiled. “There’s no need for such formalities. You’re friends with Zhuo’er, so you’re also a friend of my Daynight clan. I’ll just call you Little Yin.”

Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. “Of course.”

Nightking Yuanjing nodded. “I’ve already accepted Zhuo’er as my disciple. So Little Yin, you can rest assured now.”

Lu Yin was delighted by this news. “Thank you, Elder.”

Lu Yin looked down and did not speak.

Behind him, the Trialmaster spoke up. “You’re already so old, but you still act like you’re in a position of authority. Your anxiety will end up killing you.”

Nightking Yuanjing glared at the Trialmaster, but didn’t respond. Instead, he spoke to Lu Yin. “Little Yin, I need to seek your help regarding a specific matter.”

Lu Yin was shocked, and he replied, “Please, Elder, let me know how I can be of service to you. Little Yin does not dare to promise that he can provide the help you are seeking.”

“Kid, there’s no need to be so courteous. If you can actually help him, you can even get this old fart in front of you to call you Grandpa,” the Trialmaster casually interrupted, causing Nightking Yuanjing’s face to sour as if he had just swallowed a fly.

“Elder Tan, no one will assume that you’re mute even if you stay silent!” he lashed out.

Lu Yin bent his head and acted meek.

Nightking Yuanjing let out a sigh and turned to look at Lu Yin. “Little Yin, when you first heard about the tracks of the ancestor, the Third Nightking, did you hear about anything else? Such as an air current?”

Lu Yin rubbed his head and put on an expression as if he were trying to recall the details. Nightking Yuanjing did not interrupt and just continued to observe the youth.

Lu Yin thought for a few seconds before responding, “It’s definitely possible. When that beast was pleading for its life, it said a great many things, but I don’t quite remember since so much time has passed.”

Nightking Yuanjing’s breathing became even more frantic, and he looked at Lu Yin with a fervent expression. “Don’t rush! Take your time—you must remember if this detail was mentioned.”

The Trialmaster stared at Lu Yin with his murky eyes and a complicated expression.

Lu Yin paused. “Elder, my apologies. Too many things have happened during this period, and many troubles have arisen. Please allow Little Yin some time to go back and seriously think about this matter. I will immediately look for Elder after recalling the details.”

Nightking Yuanjing waved his hand. “Troubles? What troubles? Just tell me—Grandpa Yuanjing will take care of them for you.”

Lu Yin was stunned speechless; this shift in tone was a bit too sudden.

The Trialmaster rolled his eyes.

Lu Yin became embarrassed. “That’s not reasonable. Elder must have many things to handle within the Nightking clan, and Little Yin’s matters are too trifling to inconvenience Elder with.”

The Nightking elder shook his head. “Don’t worry about that. Little Yin, just come to Grandpa Yuanjing if you have any troubles, and Grandpa Yuanjing will take care of them all for you.”
