Instant Kill

Not far from the Realm Spirit Stone sat an old man with white hair and a beard, a kind face, and not a trace of Star Energy revealed from his body, looking like an ordinary old man.

Michelle landed in front of the old man and bowed slightly. "Junior councilor of the Ten Arbiters Council, Michelle, pays respects to the mentor of the world."

Lu Yin and the others immediately followed, also bowing. Only the black-haired Hei Xu and Hui Baiye were indifferent, not even glancing at the old man.

The old man opened his eyes. It seemed he hadn't spoken for a long time. Just as he was about to say something, he couldn't help but cough twice. His cloudy eyes slowly cleared, and he saw the crowd.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally focusing on Michelle. "Student, I'm sorry. I'm old, and my ears don't work well anymore. Could you please repeat that?"

Michelle said again, "Junior councilor of the Ten Arbiters Council, Michelle, pays respects to the mentor of the world."

The old man was confused. "The Ten what Council?"

"The Ten Arbiters Council."

"The Ten Arbiters what?"

Michelle frowned. After repeating it several times, the old man finally understood. "The Ten Arbiters Council?"

Michelle let out a breath, nodded, and said solemnly, "Mentor, I am from the Ten Arbiters Council, under the order of a councilor to supervise the Tenth Academy. May I ask, mentor, why must students of the Tenth Academy achieve one hundred consecutive wins in the Realm Spirit War to enter the Trial World?"

"Student, what did you say? Could you please repeat that?" The old man leaned forward slightly, speaking with great effort, his expression extremely serious.

Michelle was stunned for a moment, then helplessly took a few steps forward and said loudly, "Mentor, I am from the Ten Arbiters Council, under the order of a councilor to supervise the Tenth Academy. May I ask, mentor, why must students of the Tenth Academy achieve one hundred consecutive wins in the Realm Spirit War to enter the Trial World?"

The old man was dazed for a moment, then pointed at the Realm Spirit Stone. "That is the Realm Spirit Stone. Student, do you want to enter the Realm Spirit War?"

Michelle was speechless.

Lulu burst out laughing.

Lu Yin also found it funny.

Michelle turned her head and glared fiercely at the two, then looked at the old man helplessly, not knowing what to do. Was this old man really deaf or just pretending? But he looked like he really couldn't hear.

Helpless, Michelle turned and walked towards the Realm Spirit Stone.

At this time, Hui Baiye had already stepped into the range of the Realm Spirit Stone. Not far away, Zhao Yilong was watching intently.

"Who went in?" Michelle asked Zhao Yilong.

"The one from the White Night clan," Zhao Yilong replied coldly.

Michelle looked at the mist under the Realm Spirit Stone, waiting quietly.

Lu Yin and the others also came over. They also wanted to try the Realm Spirit War.

One Realm Spirit Stone could only be used by one person at a time, and the Tenth Academy only had one.

Soon, Hui Baiye came out, his face ugly.

"How was it? You lost, didn't you?" Lulu looked a little gloating.

Hui Baiye snorted.

"Hui Baiye, 0 wins, 1 loss!" A huge voice suddenly sounded, startling everyone. They all turned to look; it was the old man.

Hui Baiye's face was ugly. This old man was targeting him, actually announcing his defeat.

Michelle's expression was not good. This old man was definitely pretending. His voice was so loud, and he could accurately call out someone's name. Who would believe he couldn't hear? That cunning old man.

The more Lu Yin looked at the old man, the stranger he seemed. He had a feeling this old fellow was not as kind-faced as he appeared on the surface, a bit black-bellied!

Zhao Yilong stepped into the range of the Realm Spirit Stone.

Not long after, he also came out with an ugly face.

"Zhao Yilong, 0 wins, 1 loss!" the old man shouted.

Michelle snorted at the old man and stepped into the range of the Realm Spirit Stone.

Michelle stayed in a little longer, but not by much, and soon came out.

"Michelle, 1 win, 1 loss."

As soon as Michelle came out, Hui Baiye wanted to go in again. The one who was supposed to go in was Zahra. "Hey, little brat from the White Night clan, step back. It's not your turn."

Hui Baiye was dismissive. "You going in is just a waste of resources." He then directly tried to step into the range of the Realm Spirit Stone.

Zahra was furious and was about to attack. But before she could make a move, Hui Baiye was pressed to the ground by an invisible attack. Everyone immediately turned to look at the old man. The old man said calmly, "No cutting in line, student."

Hui Baiye was furious, but the attack suppressing him was formless and insubstantial, as if it didn't exist. He couldn't even resist.

Michelle was shocked. This old fellow was hiding his strength. He was at least a Star-Wandering Realm expert. How could such an expert be deaf? He was clearly feigning ignorance. She decided to immediately report to the Ten Arbiters Council after leaving and have the Tenth Academy disbanded, to be replaced by another combat academy.

Zahra entered the range of the Realm Spirit Stone. Soon, "Zahra, 0 wins, 1 loss!" the old man shouted. Zahra was helpless, gritting her teeth and glaring fiercely at the old man.

Right after Zahra was Xia Luo, his expression calm. His entry made Michelle take notice; this was the second person after her to receive a gift from the Rain Observatory Platform.

Soon, Xia Luo came out, spreading his hands.

"Xia Luo, 0 wins, 1 loss," the old man shouted.

Lu Yin was surprised. Even Xia Luo had failed. The Realm Spirit War was as terrifying as he had said. For Michelle to get one win was truly not simple. No wonder she could join the Ten Arbiters Council with the strength of the Melting Realm.

"Shuz, 0 wins, 1 loss."

"Hei Xu, 1 win, 1 loss," the old man's tone was a little surprised, clearly not expecting someone else in this group to be able to win.

Everyone looked at Hei Xu. His black hair almost swallowed the light. This person was expressionless, giving off a cold and lonely feeling.

All the Melting Realm cultivators had gone in. Among the Reaching Realm cultivators, Zhao Yilong had also gone in. Lulu jumped in cheerfully but came out very quickly. "How absurd! I actually ran into a Great Underworld Netherdragon, and a Limiteer-level one at that. Such bullying!"

"Lulu Mebis, 0 wins, 1 loss," the old man shouted, his gaze pausing briefly on Lulu before moving away.

"Meng Yue, 0 wins, 1 loss."

"Ke Ke, 0 wins, 1 loss."

Everyone had tried, leaving only Lu Yin and Yin.

Yin smiled at Lu Yin and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Yin wasn't polite and stepped into the range of the Realm Spirit Stone.

The feeling inside and outside the Realm Spirit Stone was different, like entering another world. When Lu Yin walked directly under the Realm Spirit Stone and reached out to touch it, the world spun before his eyes. In a flash, he appeared on the crater of a volcano, surrounded by erupting molten rock.

The Realm Spirit War would completely replicate the person who touched the Realm Spirit Stone into a virtual space. The space was not fixed; it could be an ocean, a volcano, or the sky. This time, Lu Yin had arrived at a volcano crater.

The scorching molten rock erupted. Lu Yin looked at his body. This replicated body did not replicate his appearance, only his physique. He couldn't see his face at all; it was just a patch of darkness. He circulated the Heavenly Star Art and found no abnormalities. He was shocked. Even the cultivation art could be perfectly replicated. This Realm Spirit Stone was too magical.

Moreover, the sensation of this body to its surroundings was no different from reality. He squatted down and touched the volcanic rock, scalding hot. Even its endurance was exactly the same as his real body.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that covered the sky and the earth, distorting the void and causing the volcano to directly crack apart.

Lu Yin's pupils contracted. Before he could even react, he was instantly killed. Before leaving that space, he saw that figure, and also the strange name above that person's head—Da Feng Ge.

"Damn it, it's just a Reaching Realm fledgling. My bad, my bad, should have held back a little. How pitiful... died before even picking a handle, haha," in the sky above the volcano, Da Feng Ge laughed to himself. There was no way to communicate here; he could only think to himself.

Below the Realm Spirit Stone, Lu Yin opened his eyes, a cold sweat on his forehead. In that instant just now, he really thought he had died. That person was definitely a Star-Wandering Realm expert, truly terrifying, not even giving him a chance to react. He felt far more terrifying than Siken Maldo and the others. That was the strength of the talented elites who could participate in the Realm Spirit War.

Just as he stepped out of the range of the Realm Spirit Stone, the old man's loud shout came to his ears. "Lu Yin, 0 wins, 1 loss."

No one was surprised. It would be strange if he had won.

Yin walked past Lu Yin, smiling, and stepped into the range of the Realm Spirit Stone.

"Big Brother Lu Yin, how was it? What kind of opponent did you run into?" Ke Ke asked curiously.

Lu Yin shrugged. "I'm not sure. I feel like it was probably a Star-Wandering Realm expert."

Ke Ke stuck out her tongue. "Even worse than me. I ran into a Limiteer."

Lu Yin smiled bitterly. They were too weak. Xia Luo was right. In the Realm Spirit War, they were just at the bottom tier. To have to win a hundred times to enter the Trial World, the conditions of the Tenth Academy were too harsh. It was a pity Michelle couldn't succeed in her protest. "By the way, what are your handles?"

The virtual characters replicated in the Realm Spirit War could use their real names or a handle. Lu Yin hadn't even thought of his handle before he was killed. The handle of the person who had instakilled him was Da Feng Ge.

"I'm called Hercules!" Lulu clenched her fists and threw out the three words fiercely.
