Chapter 401: Fourth on the Battle Rankings (1/2)

Contrary to expectations, his attack struck the Second War King straight on, but he only casually patted the place he was hit and waved at Lu Yin again.

Lu Yin took a deep breath. He was now certain that this person was truly powerful.

Lu Yin seldom met anyone who could ignore his attacks, which was something only those on the Top 100 Rankings could do amongst the younger generation. He just didn’t know where this person stood in the rankings.

He did not hesitate, and five-lined battle force covered his entire body, illuminating even the skies. He completely unleashed his domain as star energy filled his eyes. He could see traces of lines in the void, which were actually runes.

When those lines appeared, Lu Yin’s pupils shrank, and he stared at the Second War King in shock. At that moment, the runes representing the Second War King in Lu Yin’s eyes went far beyond what he had imagined, and they were even repelling the void.

Mere star energy could not accurately represent the Second War King’s strength, and even power levels might not be able to do so. But the number of rune lines was a clear representation of his power, and it was extraordinarily formidable.

It was simple—the more runes it took to represent a person, the more powerful they were. And the amount of runes that represented the Second War King greatly surpassed those that represented Lu Yin.

The Second War King looked at Lu Yin with interest, and then he waved again.

Lu Yin knew that this battle did not bode well for him. Hiding his star energy and power level might be enough to deceive others, but Lu Yin could not be fooled since he could see the rune lines. This person was way stronger than him, but there was no way he could retreat since this was a ported battle.

Lu Yin inhaled deeply. His body then vanished only to reappear right in front of the Second War King. He knew that this person would not hide, but still, he had to use his strongest attack here.

The Second War King’s eyes abruptly went wide, and an intense excitement appeared in the depths of his eyes. What a ferocious attack! Not bad, not bad at all.

Boom!

Shockwaves spread out in all directions as the rocks were shattered and the sky was sundered. Thirty Stacks Fortyfold Shockwave Palm.

This was currently Lu Yin’s strongest attack, and he held nothing back as he slammed his hand against the Second War King’s body.

The Thirty Stacks had completely suppressed the void, and they all erupted within the Second War King’s body one after another.

Lu Yin leaped up and pulled back a hundred meters before taking a serious look at the Second War King in the rock. Although it had been a strong attack, there was no way it would be enough to defeat this person, especially since the runes representing him had not been reduced by much.

Lu Yin guessed that the rune lines represented not only a person’s power, but also their vitality. If the runes disappeared, then it meant that that person no longer existed. If Lu Yin’s guess was correct, then the Second War King had only been slightly injured.

Within the rock, the Second War King opened his eyes as his upper body slowly rose up. He looked down on the palm print on his body, then at Lu Yin. He slowly clapped.

A coldness flashed across Lu Yin’s eyes; he was being looked down upon.

The Second War King slowly stood up and patted the dust off of his body. He looked at Lu Yin, then his lips suddenly curled as his body leaned backwards. He took a deep breath, to the extent where it seemed like he was trying to suck in all of the air in a given area.

Lu Yin frowned and closely stared at the Second War King; was this a battle technique?

As he inhaled, the Second War King’s body visibly swelled up, and the palm print from before disappeared. No trace of Lu Yin’s attack could be seen any longer.

Lu Yin watched in astonishment. The area surrounding him started to distort, and he felt a strong sense of crisis.

Suddenly, the Second War King looked at Lu Yin and ferociously opened his mouth, releasing a loud howl. Lu Yin only felt the void around him shatter before seeing a vast expanse of pure white. The Second War King seemed to have reincarnated as a devil as the void shattered. Everything that Lu Yin could see or hear vanished into nothingness, and by the time he blinked again, he had already reappeared at the trial zone entrance.

Defeated, Lu Yin looked down at his own hands. He had been easily annihilated; the Second War King was just way too powerful. Not only had he perfectly withstood Lu Yin’s strongest attack, but he had even instantly eliminated him. Facing off against the Second War King felt like facing Wendy Yushan; he had once again been rendered completely powerless.

That person was definitely an expert within the top twenty of the Top 100 Rankings, and Lu Yin even had a vague feeling that he surpassed Wendy Yushan.

“Lu Yin: 164 victories, 109 defeats,” the Trialmaster suddenly announced, his aged voice reverberating through the area.

Near the teleportation stone, Michelle was stunned at the announcement, and she looked at Lu Yin. “You were defeated?”

Lu Yin had not expected Michelle to be here, but he nodded. “That’s right.”

Michelle was incredulous, as there were extremely few people in the younger generation who could defeat Lu Yin. “Did you meet a Top 100 Rankings expert?”

Lu Yin shrugged. “Not sure, but probably.”

“What was their name?” Michelle asked.

“It was a ported battle. I only know their nickname, not their real name.”

“Then what was their nickname? I might know who it is.” Michelle was very curious, as Lu Yin had definitely been matched against one of the top experts of the younger generation if he had been defeated.

“The Second War King.”

Michelle squinted, then shook her head. “No wonder you lost. It should have been a complete loss.”

“Do you know who it was?” Lu Yin was curious.

Michelle nodded and looked at him before faintly answering, “I pity you, because you met the fourth on the Top 100 Rankings, Avery.”
