Chapter 331: Insider Information About The Daynight Clan (1/2)

The battlefield returned to calmness as smoke pervaded the air.

Everyone was stunned; who had won?

Regardless of whether it was the Astral Combat Tournament or this Tournament of the Strongest, this was a top-notch battle. Even Explorers might not have been able to receive Lu Yin’s double-handed strike.

High above the battlefield in the sky, Lilac Snow casually waved a hand to disperse the dust; she wanted to know the results as well.

When the air was cleared, a figure gripping his knees with both hands and wheezing desperately was revealed. He then raised his head; it was Lu Yin.

Everyone looked around, but Tian Hou had vanished.

“The Tournament of the Strongest’s final round. Victor: Lu Yin.”

The Astral Combat Academy mentor announced the results, and they astounded everyone.

Everyone was momentarily dazed, and then many students started to cheer. Lu Yin had won, which represented victory for the Human Domain.

Wu Da hollered excitedly.

All of the students from Astral-10 were moved. Big Pao, Little Pao, Coco, and the rest were all cheering wildly.

Starsibyl gazed at Lu Yin with gleaming eyes; her divination had been correct. No one had even considered the fact that Lu Yin might win before the start of the Tournament of the Strongest. Even right before the final match was held, his given chances of winning were worse than one in a hundred. However, Lu Yin had won, which meant that Starsibyl’s divination had been successful. Now, she knew which path to take in the future.

Everyone on Zenyu Star was cheering as well, and even those regular citizens who could not understand the battle could tell how challenging it had been. Even Huo Qingshan and the other Hunters had been stirred by this match.

Xueshan Auna also looked at the youth on his screen who was having trouble standing up. He then looked at his gadget and his gaze gradually grew firm. It seemed as though he had resolved himself to a decision.

In the Cosmic Sea, on a warship that released such a tremendous aura that even the great sea was forced to acknowledge its allegiance, a thunderous laugh was heard. It made the Cosmic Sea flare up, and multiple powerhouses flew away in their individual spacecraft to rise high into the sky. “Captain’s lost control! Hurry and run!”

“The kid won and captain’s too happy. Let him laugh for a while.”

“Captain hasn’t laughed in a long time, not since she left.”

“Shh, don’t mention that! Let captain be happy for a bit.”

…

“Yes, captain!” they all replied.

…

Atop Astral-10’s trial zone mountain, Lu Yin opened his eyes and let out a relaxed breath as he unwound; he had finally won. This battle had been no walk in the park.

“Seventh Bro, you deserve my worship! You’re too powerful! You actually beat a Cosmic Hou by yourself!” The Ghost Monkey was exuberant.

Lu Yin grimaced. Actually, the top four finalists in the Tournament of the Strongest were all of roughly equal strength. He had to rely on the Cosmic Art to triumph over Tian Hou, or else he would have stood no chance at all. If his opponent had been Starsibyl, he might not have won either. It could only be said that Tian Hou had helped Lu Yin by removing his worst match-up, though he had coincidentally ended up becoming Lu Yin’s opponent.

Even so, the degree of difficulty of the last battle had exceeded Lu Yin’s imagination. He had thought that the strengthening fruit would allow his physique to become unparalleled, but that line of thinking had been too simplistic.

However, there was still some lingering pain from the fruit. Fortunately, he had strengthened his body again, or else he really would not have been able to endure Tian Hou’s attacks. As it was, he had only barely outlasted Tian Hou.

“Seventh Bro, how did you manage to attack Tian Hou’s body? His vortex should push his endurance to terrifying levels, and logically, you shouldn’t be able to overcome it,” the monkey asked curiously.

Lu Yin did not bother responding since the other Astral-10 students around him had all opened their eyes.

“Brother Lu, you’re too awesome!” Coco was the first to run over and congratulate him.

“Junior, congratulations. You’ve become really famous throughout the universe, and not just within the Human Domain,” Little Pao said with a smile.

The others congratulated him in turns.

Lu Yin smiled. “Luck, it was just luck.”

“Luck can’t beat Tian Hou,” Xia Luo gently refuted.

Lulu grimaced. “Our disparity is growing bigger. It’s annoying. No, I have to return home. I have to train.”

Meng Yue nodded approvingly. He was also going to return to Vastdearth Sect to see if there was some way for him to improve his strength.

Michelle gazed at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. When she had first arrived at Astral-10, she had planned on nitpicking at things until she was able to crack down on the academy with the regulations on her side. Yet, as time passed, she had begun to acknowledge Astral-10 in her heart, especially since someone so powerful had emerged right besides her. This person was truly a Ten Arbiters’ candidate at this moment.

The others offered their congratulations and left, as they could tell that Lu Yin was exhausted.

Schutz walked up to Lu Yin. “How’s the Great Yu Empire doing?”

“It’s alright, but you should return to take a look and help me reorganize the Yu Academy.”

Schutz considered the idea and then nodded. “Alright.”

Schutz was a top expert of the Great Yu Empire’s current younger generation. After spending this period of time in the Astral Combat Academy, his power could no longer be measured by the Outerverse’s standards. Even in the Astral Combat Academy, he was above average and could be considered to be at the standard of the Innerverse’s younger generation’s elite. He was much stronger than those from the same generation in the Great Yu Empire. With his current power, he could defeat Gerbach in just two strikes.
