Seeing the five Great Underworld Netherdragons appear, Lu Yin was shocked. How was this possible? This was definitely not ordinary extreme speed; it was a talent. This strange beast possessed an extreme speed talent.
The five Great Underworld Netherdragons attacked Lu Yin from all directions, sealing all his escape routes and forcing him to fight head-on.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. The Heavenly Star Art circulated on his body, and six stars appeared, with a seventh faintly visible. His eyes, through the Heavenly Star Art, saw the fast-moving Long Eight. Although it had split into five, its true body was only one. In the end, this was extreme speed. And if it was extreme speed, Lu Yin was not afraid. His Heavenly Star Art was the nemesis of speed.
The Heavenly Star Palm was raised high, the seventh star also faintly visible. With one palm strike, Long Eight's huge pupils changed drastically. How could this be? This human had actually found its true body.
With a boom, Lu Yin's palm slapped onto Long Eight's huge head. Long Eight wailed in pain. Following the explosion of the seven stars, the terrifying power directly knocked it unconscious.
Lu Yin had won.
Panting, Lu Yin was overjoyed. A three-win streak. He had completed the highest Reaching Realm mission.
The scene before his eyes changed, and Lu Yin appeared below the Realm Spirit Stone. He turned to look outside. At this moment, besides Michelle, there were also Ke Ke, Hui Baiye, and Xiao Pao.
Lu Yin didn't go out but entered the Realm Spirit War again, to see if he could get a four-win streak. With his current strength, if his luck was a bit better, he could win.
However, the moment Lu Yin saw his sixteenth opponent, his heart sank. Because he only saw a single sword strike, and then, there was no then. He didn't even see the opponent's handle clearly before he was killed.
It was definitely a Star-Wandering Realm expert, a freak. The Realm Spirit War was not lacking in this kind of freak. So, luck was very important. Some people were very strong, but their records were terrible. Some people were clearly very weak, even in the Reaching Realm, but could get several consecutive wins. So, luck was also a part of strength.
Walking out of the range of the Realm Spirit Stone, the old man's voice sounded in his ear. "Lu Yin, 7 wins, 18 losses."
Not far away, Michelle was shocked. A three-win streak. This Reaching Realm cultivator had actually achieved a three-win streak.
Hui Baiye clenched his fists. His record was 3 wins, 52 losses. A mere ant could actually surpass him.
Ke Ke was surprised. "Big Brother Lu, your record is so good. Among us, the one with the best record is Hei Xu, with an average of one win every four matches. After that is Big Sister Michelle, with one win every five matches. You're almost at one win every three matches. So amazing."
Lu Yin patted Ke Ke's head. "Just good luck."
Hui Baiye's voice was cold. "How many Reaching Realm cultivators did you run into?"
Lu Yin thought for a moment. "Three."
Hui Baiye was dismissive. "As expected, just good luck."
Lu Yin didn't explain. Although the White Night clan was a powerful clan, Hui Baiye's strength could not be considered strong. Even when he had just enrolled, he was confident of defeating this person, let alone now; he could instakill him.
"Big Brother Lu, are you hurt? Do you want Ke Ke to treat you?" Ke Ke asked expectantly.
The image of that giant syringe immediately appeared in Lu Yin's mind, and he quickly shook his head. "No need. The Realm Spirit War isn't real; I won't get hurt."
Ke Ke was disappointed.
"Junior Brother Lu, congratulations on completing the supreme Reaching Realm mission, a three-win streak in the Realm Spirit War," Xiao Pao said in congratulations.
Hui Baiye's face became even uglier.
Lu Yin smiled. "Good luck. You can't stop it even if you want to."
Xiao Pao gave a faint smile. "I don't believe in luck. Any opponent in the Realm Spirit War is an absolute elite, a top-tier genius of a domain in the Outerverse. Many are even famous throughout the universe and not easily defeated. Otherwise, this supreme mission of a three-win streak would have been completed long ago. I still have to congratulate you. Keep up the good work and strive to get a 30-win streak soon."
Ke Ke was puzzled. "A 30-win streak? Senior Xiao Pao, is there any special meaning to that? Does the Academy give a reward?"
Xiao Pao smiled. "A 30-win streak is the qualification to challenge the Top 100 Battle Rankings."
Lu Yin's eyes sharpened. The Top 100 Battle Rankings, the top one hundred young experts of the entire universe, established by the Astral Combat Academies. Wendy Yushan was in the top 20 of the Top 100 Battle Rankings.
Anyone who made it onto the Top 100 Battle Rankings would instantly become famous throughout the universe, easily join the Ten Arbiters Council, and a single word from them could decide the rise and fall of a power. Its value was much higher than that of the King of Zishan, and it came with invisible privileges.
Ke Ke stuck out her tongue. "The Top 100 Battle Rankings, huh? I'm not counting on it. Those people are all freaks."
Xiao Pao smiled. "You have to have a goal, anyway. For you all, the short-term goal is the new student competition. I came to inform you that the new student competition will be held in a month. The winner will receive a very extraordinary reward."
"What reward?" Ke Ke asked expectantly.
Xiao Pao raised a finger. "It's a secret."
Ke Ke was disappointed.
Michelle glanced at Lu Yin and walked directly towards the range of the Realm Spirit Stone.
Lu Yin bid farewell to Xiao Pao and Ke Ke and headed for the Treasure Pavilion. He had a reward to claim.
Among the missions issued by the Astral Combat Academies, one group was for their respective combat academies, and another group was public missions, meaning all ten combat academies had them. These missions were usually very difficult to complete, but as long as they were completed, they would instantly cause a sensation in all ten combat academies.
The supreme Reaching Realm mission, a three-win streak in the Realm Spirit War, was a public mission. Hart Phoenix's goal was this, but unfortunately, he ran into Lu Yin in the third match and was stopped.
And when Lu Yin completed the mission, this mission was automatically canceled.
At the Astral-9 Academy: "Someone actually completed the supreme Reaching Realm mission, and it's someone from the Tenth Academy. It seems the Tenth Academy is about to rise."
"The Tenth Academy is in the Canglan territory. Does that kind of remote border territory have geniuses? It must be a disciple of a powerful Innerverse clan who joined."
...
At the Astral-5 Academy: "Junior Brother Hart's mission was completed by someone else. His name is Lu Yin? A Reaching Realm cultivator who can complete a three-win streak in the Realm Spirit War is a talent."
"A pity he's from the Tenth Academy. He's bound to be lost to the crowd."
...
At the Astral-1 Academy: "The supreme Reaching Realm mission? Ridiculous. This kind of mission is not very difficult for others. Those people just didn't want to be noticed, so they didn't complete it. For the Tenth Academy to try to make a name for itself through this method seems too narrow-minded."
"Don't say that. We should give the Tenth Academy some face. After all, it's just an exiled place."
Not far away, an exquisitely beautiful woman looked back, her gaze fixed on the two words 'Lu Yin', then she turned and left.
At the Treasure Pavilion, the catfish-whiskered old man sized Lu Yin up in admiration, occasionally making hissing sounds.
Lu Yin felt a chill from his gaze. "Mentor, can you give me the reward now?"
The old man gave a strange smile. "Little fellow, calling me mentor is too distant. Just call me Elder Cai from now on."
Lu Yin's eyebrow twitched. "Elder Cai?"
Elder Cai nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. It's been a long time since the Tenth Academy has done anything to make a name for itself. Little fellow, you're the first. Very not bad, haha."
Lu Yin said modestly, "Just good luck."
Elder Cai waved his hand. "Luck is also a part of strength. Alright, little fellow, this is your reward. Keep up the good work and strive to complete a few more public missions to bring glory to our Tenth Academy." With that, he threw a spatial ring to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin caught it. Inside the spatial ring were ten thousand cubic meters of Star Crystals. He was excited. He finally had money again. Ten thousand cubic meters was definitely not a small amount.
"The Aurora spaceship is at the space station; it's yours now. Little fellow, this is an Aurora spaceship. Don't be an ungrateful wolf. Work hard on your own." With that, he shooed Lu Yin away.
Lu Yin immediately went to the space station and found an Aurora spaceship. He directly verified it. After the verification was complete, this spaceship could only be used by him.
Many of the resources in the Astral Combat Academies were sponsored by major powers, and the Aurora spaceship was the same. There was more than one at the space station.
The appearance of the Aurora spaceship was similar to an ordinary spaceship. The one he got was a personal flyer, with a diameter of no more than three meters.
Compared to an ordinary spaceship, the Aurora spaceship had an extra slot called an energy conversion device. This type of spaceship purely used energy components to form a protective field for propulsion and spacetime jumps. It required rare materials to be put into the energy conversion device to be converted into the spaceship's own structure. This was the core technology of the Aurora spaceship company, rumored to be from ancient technology, involving the smallest particles in the universe. The more precious and powerful the materials put in, the faster the spaceship would upgrade.
That was why Elder Cai had said it was an ungrateful wolf that couldn't be fed. This type of spaceship needed to be filled with countless precious materials. Correspondingly, once upgraded, its performance would far surpass an ordinary spaceship.
Lu Yin had investigated. The Aurora spaceships bought were all at the initial level, with performance comparable to an ordinary spaceship, even worse, because it had sacrificed some performance to reserve a slot for the energy conversion device. But once a large amount of materials were invested to upgrade it to the Radiant Light level, its performance would be completely different. Not only would its speed be ten times that of an ordinary spaceship, but it could even defend against the attacks of a Cruiser. Absolutely powerful.
