Chapter 371: The Astral Ark (1/2)

If Ah Fan had actually been defeated by Lu Yin, then no one could blame him. There were only probably two or three Limiteers who could withstand a single attack from Lu Yin.

Northgate Gang smirked. “Why should we believe your words? Fine, even if the person who managed to win the teleportation stone was really Lu Yin, my eldest brother is still an Explorer with a power level of 30,000. He’s also ranked ninety third on the Top Hundred Rankings. He’d definitely easily defeat Lu Yin! Don’t overestimate him just because of your own failure! Such a claim is nothing but an embarrassment to the Northline Flowzone.”

The people in the restaurant all agreed, as the Top Hundred Rankings was the best indicator of one’s power. Although Lu Yin was powerful, in their eyes, he was still just a Limiteer who could barely challenge an Explorer. However, those in the Top Hundred Rankings were different. Even the person ranked hundredth on the list was someone comparable to a Cruiser.

These people were unaware of Lu Yin’s recent feat in the Outerverse’s San Dios. He had matched a record set by one of the Ten Arbiters by using Thirty Stacks, and that was enough for him to defeat two elite Explorers at the same time. If they had known about this event, then they wouldn’t have been so confident. Nonetheless, Ah Fan was also exaggerating; he couldn’t tell who was stronger between Northgate Lie and Lu Yin.

Lily Shu'er’s eyes glinted with a special light when she heard Lu Yin’s name. She seemed very curious about that person.

Ah Fan didn’t argue with Northgate Gang any further and left the restaurant. There was no point in saying anything further.

Northgate Gang didn’t stop him, but when he was about to ask Lily Shu’er to take a seat, he realized that she had disappeared.

Outside the restaurant, Ah Fan was sullenly walking away when Lily Shu'er caught up to him. “Hey! How did it feel when you were fighting Lu Yin?’

Ah Fan ignored her.

Lily Shu'er’s brows creased together, and she jumped forward to block Ah Fan’s path. “Hey, I’m talking to you.”

Ah Fan reeked of alcohol, and he answered in a clearly irritated tone. “I don’t know.”

“Wasn’t the academy’s teleportation stone won by Lu Yin? How could you not know? Were you lying about facing him?” Lily Shu'er shouted.

Ah Fan stood there, rooted to the spot, his head hung low, and his eyes filled with memories.

Lily Shu'er walked over and crouched down. She then looked up to make eye contact with him as she curiously asked, “What? Was it indescribable?”

Ah Fan sighed. “One palm, multiple stacks.”

Lily Shu'er’s eyes widened. “One palm? You lost to one strike?”

Lily Shu'er anxiously ran after him. “You’re one of the strongest students in Shangwu Academy. My cousin even mentioned you by name when she sent me to the academy, but you’re saying that you couldn’t even withstand one of his palms?”

Ah Fan bitterly replied, “You’re right. I couldn’t even take a single hit. I’m useless.” He then continued walking towards Shangwu Academy.

Lily Shu'er stood there, blinking in shock. “Is he really that powerful? I need to tell my cousin and let her know about this Ten Arbiters candidate.” She then ran away with a playful smile.

Outer space was always dark. By now, Lu Yin had left San Dios and was currently heading towards the Northline Flowzone in the Innerverse.

The conflict between Darkstar Gorge and the Darkmist Weave wouldn’t end anytime soon, so Lu Yin had temporarily placed Zhao Ran under Barley’s care. Yue Xianzi was staying behind in San Dios this time.

Compared to Yue Xianzi, Lu Yin wanted to have more interactions with An Shaohua. Watermoon Villa was comparable to the Frostmoon Sect, but more importantly, Lu Yin had a better feeling about Watermoon Villa than the Frostmoon Sect. However, since An Shaohua had finally managed to leave the Innerverse, he didn’t want to return just yet. Otherwise, Lu Yin would have brought him along.

“Seventh Bro, how could you not bring along a pretty girl?” the Ghost Monkey asked cheekily.

Lu Yin frowned. “Do you want to be blocked off again?”

The monkey instantly fell silent. He knew that Lu Yin wasn’t joking around and that he would really block off his senses. It was actually already quite kind for Lu Yin to warn the Ghost Monkey. Most of the time, he would just screen off the monkey’s senses without any warning. The Ghost Monkey had sadly enough already gotten used to such treatment.

Lu Yin was using an Aurora spacecraft that belonged to San Dios, and this one wasn’t radiant grade, but a blackhole grade one.

The blackhole grade Aurora was the dedicated transport vehicle for representatives of the Outerverse Youth Council. The spacecraft was strong enough to take attacks from even a Hunter and was a hundred times faster than a normal spacecraft.

This was an unbelievable speed that Lu Yin couldn’t have even imagined before this, but now, he was actually experiencing it for himself.

One normally needed at least seven to eight months to travel from San Dios to the Northline Flowzone if they were using a standard spacecraft, and this estimate didn’t even include any delays due to route changes. But Lu Yin, with this blackhole spacecraft, needed less than three days to arrive.

This was what it was like, using a blackhole grade Aurora!

Of course, these three days didn’t include the time spent crossing the Astral River.

Lu Yin estimated that he would arrive at the Northline Flowzone in less than five days.

With enough money, the only thing restricting someone was their imagination; with enough money, anything was possible. With this blackhole grade spacecraft, Lu Yin wouldn’t need to waste so much time while travelling in future.

Lu Yin sighed as he relished in the extreme speed of the spacecraft. Perhaps money couldn’t get everything. At least for this spacecraft, not everyone could use it since some people wouldn’t be able to withstand the extreme speed.

Normal Limiteers definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand this speed, and only Explorers and above would normally be capable of handling it.

One day later, the spacecraft suddenly stopped in the middle of space. Lu Yin looked into the distance, his eyes filled with memories. The place he was looking at was the direction where the pirate port had once sat. It was also the place where he had experienced a transformation after dying.
