In the starry sky, two figures intersected and passed each other. Then, the starry sky collapsed violently, and planets shattered one after another. An indescribably terrifying slash streaked past the spaceship, cutting into the distant space.
Lu Yin was horrified. Before he could overthink it, the spaceship shook violently. The battle between the two people ahead had created a strange vortex in the starry sky, and the spaceship couldn't escape, being sucked into it.
Lu Yin's scalp tingled; he was done for. He didn't know how strong those two people were, but each of their blows could easily shatter a spaceship. And from the looks of it, they didn't care about his life or death at all.
Bang!
An explosion sounded in the vacuum of space, having surpassed the limit of spatial lockdown, almost knocking Lu Yin unconscious. The surrounding planets trembled, then were pulled towards the two people.
The vortex grew larger and larger, like a newly born star system.
Lu Yin stared at this scene, his mind dizzy, but then it cleared in an instant. Just now, with the battle of those two as the center, eight planets were rotating, being devoured by the vortex, and Lu Yin's spaceship was the ninth.
In an instant, Lu Yin's mind became clear. The Heavenly Star Art on his body circulated inexplicably, and then faintly appeared—the ninth star.
The planets cracked one by one, and red molten rock and blue seawater all burst out into the universe. As the planets exploded, the void cracked. Lu Yin gritted his teeth, his lips bleeding. There was no escape. Three planets in front had already exploded, sweeping towards the fourth. He was not far from death.
Instantly, the fourth planet exploded. In the center of the region, the two people were still fighting. Lu Yin was sorrowful; he had circulated the ninth star, but he didn't even have a chance to use it once before he would die.
On his body, the Heavenly Star Art slowly dissipated. And the faintly appearing ninth star, the moment it dissipated, broke away from the Heavenly Star Art. This was due to Lu Yin's unstable state of mind, which he couldn't control, causing the perfect simulation of the star system by the nine stars to collapse.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yin's eyes lit up. He piloted the spaceship himself and rushed towards the center of the vortex region, at maximum speed.
The spaceship warned of danger, but Lu Yin didn't care and charged forward forcefully.
In the battle area, the two who were originally fighting stopped, looking at the spaceship with strange eyes, watching with interest. Was it reinforcements? They didn't stop it.
The vortex could absorb, but one could also escape with its power. It all depended on whether Lu Yin could grasp its pattern.
If it were before, he absolutely couldn't have. But at this moment, with his perception of the ninth star, he had grasped the pattern of the star system. The Aurora spaceship, borrowing the power of the vortex, escaped the moment the eighth planet exploded, and was thrown away in an instant.
Behind him, the planets exploded, causing ripples in the starry sky. But all of this had nothing to do with Lu Yin anymore; he had escaped danger, completely exhausted.
'Position deviated. Re-planning route. Route successfully established.'
Lu Yin let out a breath and smiled bitterly. He hoped not to encounter this kind of thing again in the future; it was too dangerous.
Behind him, the two were surprised. "I didn't expect the little fellow to be able to escape. The symbol on the spaceship is from the Astral-10 Academy. That combat academy has been very lively recently."
"So what? I've looked into it. It has also recruited twelve new students. A considerable number of them are from the Innerverse, but they will be recalled with a single order. This Academy has completely declined."
"As long as the headmaster returns to normal, no one will dare to have ideas about the Tenth Academy."
"That's true. Among the ten great headmasters of the Astral Combat Academies, that old fellow is the most terrifying. As long as he returns to normal, no one will dare to provoke him. A pity it's too difficult; he touched what he shouldn't have."
"It has nothing to do with us. The ten-academy competition is approaching. Let's just watch the show. Besides, that little brat just now was not bad; he could actually escape."
"It was just luck. It's also a good thing we didn't save him."
"Let's continue. I want to see what progress you've made in these few hundred years."
"A joke. When have you ever beaten me?"
"Shameless. I beat you once in the Cosmic Sea."
"Why don't you say you also beat me in the New Universe? Don't even think of playing tricks."
"All nonsense."
...
Lu Yin's spaceship sailed steadily. And right in front of him, a large spaceship was strangely stopped in the starry sky. From a distance, it was brightly lit. However, as a streak of blood splashed on the glass, everything changed.
Countless wails came from within the vast spaceship, and blood flowed out from the cracks in the ship, adding a touch of terror to the originally dark starry sky.
A few hours later, Lu Yin saw this large spaceship and wondered why it was stopped in the starry sky.
Soon, Lu Yin's expression changed. He saw the blood spreading from the spaceship. There was a problem! His gaze was wary as he stared at the spaceship, not daring to relax.
A back view appeared in Lu Yin's eyes. It was a female, her long black and white hair hanging down, fresh blood dripping from the tips. The female held a red longsword in her hand. At her feet were countless corpses.
How cruel the universe was, Lu Yin knew clearly. What he cared about was not the corpses, but the female's hair, black and white. It was the White Night clan. When did another White Night clan female appear in the Outerverse? This race was truly omnipresent.
Probably sensing Lu Yin's gaze, the White Night clan female turned around, her icy gaze looking over. Lu Yin's heart trembled. What kind of gaze was that? Icy, emotionless, desperate, regretful, helpless, and yet with an irresolvable sorrow. The complex gaze was instantly etched into Lu Yin's heart, making it unforgettable for the rest of his life.
The female only glanced at Lu Yin, then stood quietly in the spaceship, looking into the distance, her thoughts unknown.
At this moment, Lu Yin's spaceship passed by that large spaceship, and he saw a symbol full of killing intent on its front. This was the symbol of space pirates. The people in this spaceship were all space pirates.
The White Night clan was a powerful clan in the universe; they couldn't possibly be pirates. Then, had that White Night clan female killed all the pirates? Although it was just a glance, Lu Yin was sure that on that spaceship, apart from that female, there were no other living people. Her killing intent was heavy.
Soon, Lu Yin's spaceship was far away, and he could no longer see that large spaceship. But the gaze of that White Night clan female left a deep impression on him. This was the first time in his life he had seen such a complex gaze, especially the sorrow and helplessness in it, which shocked him.
He shook his head. It had nothing to do with him. He was not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the White Night clan. Lu Yin closed his eyes and began to circulate the Heavenly Star Art. He had to quickly stabilize the ninth star and let his Heavenly Star Art form a perfect circulation. This was something he had comprehended at the risk of his life.
Because the journey kept changing, it took more than ten days longer than the scheduled time. A month later, Lu Yin finally arrived at the Bourne territory.
Just as he arrived at the Bourne territory, at the world entrance of the Tenth Academy, Michelle appeared. After two months of guidance from Elder Cai, she wanted to challenge the hundred wins of the Realm Spirit War and enter the Trial World as soon as possible.
Among the twelve new students of the Tenth Academy, apart from Lu Yin, the one with the most wins was Shuz, a full 52 wins. Of course, the price was also tragic, a full 237 losses. The number of times he had challenged the Realm Spirit War was unparalleled among everyone, and it was more than 100 matches more than Lu Yin's.
Shuz had been continuously challenging the Realm Spirit War before the new student competition, while the others had long since stopped. It was not easy for him to get 52 wins. It could be said that combat experience and luck accounted for a large part. Today, Michelle had appeared.
Michelle's previous record was 13 wins and 56 losses.
When Michelle entered the range of the Realm Spirit Stone, it was a long time before she came out.
The mentor of the world opened his eyes. "Michelle, 17 wins, 57 losses." ... "Michelle, 23 wins, 60 losses." ... "Michelle, 39 wins, 65 losses." ... "Michelle, 72 wins, 88 losses." ...
"Michelle, 93 wins, 98 losses."
When Michelle entered the range of the Realm Spirit Stone again, at the world entrance, Yin had arrived. He had just heard the mentor's record and was surprised. "In less than two months, she's improved so much. Is she worthy of being called a genius?"
When Michelle came out again, the mentor of the world opened his eyes and looked at her intently. "Michelle, 99 wins, 99 losses."
"Congratulations, classmate. Just one more win," Yin said with a smile in congratulations.
Michelle's face was tired. She had stayed at the world entrance for several days to achieve today's record. It was too difficult! But it also showed the teaching ability of the mentors. Recalling her efforts in the past two months, any mission was the most effective training for her. As expected of a mentor of an Astral Combat Academy. But Michelle also had doubts, because the teaching of the mentors in other combat academies was not so effective. The mentors of the Tenth Academy seemed to be different from the mentors of other combat academies.
She turned her head to look at Yin. "You want to challenge?"
Yin smiled. "Let's go after you get a hundred wins."
Michelle did not refuse and once again stepped into the range of the Realm Spirit Stone.
At the same time, Xia Luo walked to the world entrance, glanced at Yin, and walked to the mentor of the world to say something. The mentor nodded and pointed at the Realm Spirit Stone. "Go to the Trial World."
Xia Luo smiled and nodded, walking to the side of the Realm Spirit Stone, waiting for Michelle to come out.
Before long, Michelle walked out of the range of the Realm Spirit Stone with an excited look in her eyes. The old voice of the mentor of the world sounded in her ear. "Michelle, 100 wins, 100 losses."
Xia Luo was surprised, then congratulated her.
Michelle suppressed her excitement. She had finally gotten a hundred wins. Although she was excited, when she thought that Lu Yin had already gotten a hundred wins two months ago, she felt that she was much slower. But she could catch up. Her talent was definitely not ordinary. If her older sister could achieve such achievements, so could she.
Yin entered the range of the Realm Spirit Stone. Xia Luo looked at his back, his eyes thoughtful.
Not far away, Michelle walked up to the mentor of the world and said respectfully, "Mentor, I want to enter the Trial World."
The mentor of the world nodded. "You may. Go on in."
Michelle was bewildered. "Go in... where?"
The mentor of the world pointed behind him and said with emotion, "You're all so slow on the uptake."
Michelle reached out her hand to probe forward, just as Lu Yin had done before. Then her eyes glinted, and she stepped in, disappearing without a trace.
Xia Luo watched this scene, his eyes shining. The Trial World. It was time for him to enter.
Michelle was no stranger to the world mountain. She entered directly, then closed her eyes. She chose the sixth path, the Prison Path, the same as Lu Yin had chosen before. The difference was the treatment. When Lu Yin came out, he was met with ridicule and attacks. But when Michelle entered, she was met with amazed gazes and enthusiastic introductions.
