Chapter 397: You Secret Ar (1/2)

Lu Yin’s appearance delighted Coco. “Brother Lu, you’re back!”

Lu Yin smiled and nodded at her. “I heard that you dueled with some students from Shangwu Academy? How’d it go?”

Coco pursed her lips. “I can’t beat them.”

Lu Yin laughed. He was always put in a good mood when he talked to Coco; she was just too entertaining. “There’s no need to get discouraged. Your strength lies in treatment, not battle.” He suddenly paused. Is Coco’s treatment actually useful?

Upon hearing Lu Yin’s encouragement, Coco hefted her syringe. “Don’t worry, Brother Lu. I’ll be sure to take good care of my injured comrades.”

Lu Yin forced a smile onto his face. “All the best. Work hard.”

He greeted Zora and then headed deeper into the Sand Ocean to seek out the Sandmaster. It didn’t take Lu Yin long to find him.

The Sandmaster held the Money Bomb in his hands and had a rather exasperated expression as he looked at the small box. “What is it that you want to ask?”

“This student would like to ask, if this thing is actually useful?”

The Sandmaster casually tossed the Money Bomb back to Lu Yin. “Yes, but be careful.”

Lu Yin was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

The Sandmaster carefully considered his answer but replying, “If possible, don’t use it. And if you must use it, then try to hide your identity. This thing isn’t good for your reputation.”

Lu Yin’s heart fell, and the feeling that he had been swindled grew even stronger. “Elder Cai claimed that this Money Bomb can instantly kill a Hunter…”

The Sandmaster nodded. “It can, if used by surprise. However, a weapon is only a weapon, and a Hunter will not stay in place for you to attack him. Thus, you’d have to catch them off guard.”

Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief, as everything was alright as long as the weapon was effective. It turned out that he had not been duped. “Mentor, what’s the problem with the Money Bomb’s reputation?”

The Sandmaster muttered to himself, seemingly at a loss for words. Then he waved an arm. “You’ll find out in the future. Alright, move along. This place has no more use for you.” After that, he disappeared.

Lu Yin felt helpless. If the Sandmaster didn’t want to talk about it, then he had no choice in the matter.

He soon left the neglected Sand Ocean. He didn’t try to find anyone else and instead went to an area of Astral-10 that was filled with ruins. It was time for him to reach the peak of the Limiteer realm.

Lu Yin raised his hand in a familiar manner, causing his die to appear. He intended to roll four Pips: Timestop, enter the Time Stop Space, and then absorb all the star energy he needed in that place. While thinking about it, he tapped the die and watched it spin.

Strange, why did it feel like he had forgotten something?

As he watched the die slowly stop, Lu Yin’s eyes shifted. Oh no, it’s been a long time since I last rolled. I can’t possibly roll six pips: Possession, can I?

The next instant, the scenery about him changed, and the scene that Lu Yin saw changed to a field of darkness that gradually filled up with balls of light. He had no words; he had really rolled six pips.

The die’s Possession ability consumed too much money, greatly surpassing the other rolls. Lu Yin considered merging with a random ball of light, as the most important thing right now was to reach the peak of the Limiteer realm. But after thinking about it, Lu Yin decided not to. Since he was fated to roll Possession, he would submit to his fate.

Although it burned through an exorbitant amount of money, Possession was still very useful.

Lu Yin felt an intense attraction tug at his body as he looked at a ball of light in the distance. He did not hesitate and immediately merged with it. If the light was that aggressive in pulling him in, then it had to be perfectly fut for him. He hoped to Possess a powerhouse’s body this time.

The scene before him transformed once again, and Lu Yin soon opened his eyes and looked around. Was he on a spacecraft?

But before Lu Yin could finish observing his surroundings, he was startled by a jumbled bunch of messages that he had just received. After looking at the incoming notifications, Lu Yin’s pupils shrank, and his body went cold. He had Possessed someone from the Neohuman Alliance.

To be precise, this person wasn’t just a part of the Neohuman Alliance, as the Alliance consisted of not only the Corpse Kings, but also other cooperative powers. This person was part of a powerful clan, the Specter Clan.

“Here,” a hoarse voice spoke up from beside Lu Yin. He glanced over and saw that the voice came from a Corpse King. This Corpse King was actually at the level of a Hunter and was someone who had become a Mutant Corpse King. This person was able to trample over normal Hunters and could even challenge Enlighters.

In outer space, a spacecraft approached the spacecraft that Lu Yin was in. The incoming vessel looked rather peculiar, and it looked to be a special spacecraft from some power. A word was engraved on the side of the spacecraft: “Yōu.”

Through the Possession, Lu Yin knew that the current operation had been jointly planned out by the Neohuman Alliance’s internal Corpse King and the Specter Clan. Their goal was to confirm one thing: whether or not the Yōu Court that had marriage arrangements with the Sword Sect possessed a secret technique.

The Yōu clan was one of the seven great clans of the previous Court of Seven Names. However, many years ago, the clan with the ancient surname Yōu betrayed the Seven Courts and received the protection of the Sword Sect. Throughout all these years, they maintained marital relations with the Sword Sect, such as the engagement between the current Sword Sect heir, Liu Shaoqiu, and the Yōu Court’s little princess, Yōu Ye'er.

The Yōu Court was a part of the Yōu surname of the Seven Courts, and logically, they should have the Yōu Secret Art. However, the Neohuman Alliance had obtained secret information from an undisclosed source saying that the Yōu family of the Seven Courts had no secret technique. They had been sent on this current operation because the Neohuman Alliance wanted to verify whether or not the secret technique was in the hands of the exiled Yōu Court.
