Chapter 363: Meeting Foes (1/2)

The lightning rabbit had been so strong that it had knocked the nine-headed ape unconscious with a single stomp, which spoke volumes about its power. However, the power of its lightning was even more unimaginable. Even though Lu Yin had only come into contact with a trace of it, he was looking forward to seeing the power of this lightning.

Borrowing an innate gift was, after all, just borrowing. Lu Yin was not able to use it at the lender’s power level. Even though Lu Yin had only borrowed the innate gift of lightning from the rabbit, he was still looking forward to using it. He felt that this lightning was not just any run of the mill lightning. His only concern was if his own body could withstand it.

“Mr. Lu, thank you again for saving me.” The lady who had been saved by Lu Yin spoke up.

Lu Yin smiled. “You’re welcome.”

She gave Lu Yin a row of numbers. “I am Leng Yan, one of the Outerverse managers of Brightstar Corp.”

Lu Yin was stunned. “Brightstar Corp.?” He had heard Yue Xianzi mention this company before they arrived at Nine Peaks Mountain; it was a rather wealthy corporation.

“It looks like Mr. Lu has heard of Brightstar Corp. before,” Leng Yan said with a smile.

Lu Yin nodded. “It’s a major corporation that’s famous throughout the universe, so of course I’ve heard of it. I never expected that Miss Leng Yan would already be a manager at your young age. Very impressive.”

“I can’t compare to Mr. Lu, who’s a champion of the Tournament of the Strongest and a two star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker. With the successful lockbreaking of this gathering, you’ll certainly earn even more stars. Your future is limitless. I’ll ask Mr. Lu to take care of this girl’s business in the future.” She smiled courteously as she spoke.

They could not stay on the Savage Ape Planet any longer, so Lu Yin brought Yue Xianzi and Zhao Ran away despite Casanova’s strange gaze.

It had taken them several days to reach the location of the tree-shaped sourcebox. But on their return trip, Lu Yin used his extreme speed to pierce the void, and it only took them a few hours to return to their spacecraft’s landing site.

Not too long after, two personal spacecraft entered outer space.

Lu Yin looked back and was stunned. The planet’s appearance was drastically different compared to when they had first arrived; it now sported the addition of massive cracks across its surface.

They seemed like giant cracks from the sky, but from the surface of the planet, they were endlessly deep faults. The nine-headed ape had almost shattered the entire planet.

Lu Yin had barely managed to survive after a narrow escape during this gathering on Savage Ape Planet. He had nearly been finished.

He looked at his cosmic ring, wondering what the white fruit’s uses were. He would ask someone when he returned to the academy.

“Seventh Bro, what did that fortune-teller actually mean? He’s certain that you exchanged looks with the deceased, but when did that happen? Actually, how can the dead even look at you face-to-face?” the Ghost Monkey asked.

Before Lu Yin had left the planet, Xuan Jiu had repeated to Lu Yin that the young man had exchanged looks with the dead. Lu Yin had heard the line properly this last time, and it clearly wasn’t ‘royalty’ but rather ‘deceased,’ which meant dead people.

And Xuan Liu had even added on one more sentence; Lu Yin was an ominous person. The whole exchange was rather depressing, and it had caused Lu Yin to feel uncomfortable, so he was currently in a bad mood. “So even you believe that old fart’s nonsense!”

“Of course I know that he’s spouting nonsense, but he’s still from the Starsibyl Sect. Some of what he says might actually be right.”

Lu Yin was not overly bothered since he could not recall when he had exchanged looks with a deceased person. The dead could not even see. Even if their eyes were opened, it was still useless. Having no soul meant that one was unable to look, unless the person could resurrect.

Hold on, Lu Yin suddenly recalled something; could the old man’s words be linked to the Arcane Art—Fatal Revival?

But even then, that still wouldn’t work. Lu Yin was the one who had comprehended that technique, not someone else. Did it mean that he had looked at himself?

Lu Yin shook his head and put the strange words out of mind as he inputted San Dios into the spacecraft’s auto-navigation features. He then closed his eyes and silently recited the Stonewall Scriptures since he had decided to take a break.

More than ten days later, at East San Dios, one personal spacecraft steadily approached and docked at the Prairie Flame Continent’s space station. The hatch opened, and a youth exited with a smile as he surveyed the surroundings.

From inside the space station, Puyu stepped forward with flashing eyes. His movements were rather energetic.

The youth stepped down and walked towards Puyu.

“Representative Liu, welcome.” Puyu spoke first with a faint smile.

The youth smiled and respectfully replied, “I’m just a newcomer, and will require much of Councilor Puyu’s guidance.”

Puyu laughed, very pleased with the youth’s attitude. The last trace of worry in his heart vanished.

Just as he was going to say something, two more personal spacecrafts docked at the spacestation from outer space, and Lu Yin exited from one of them.
