Lu Yin's eyes sharpened. Lulu's strength was indeed immense. Her hand, though soft, was like steel tendons and iron bones. A force that could move mountains and overturn seas was trying to pull him. But at this moment, the shock in Lulu's heart far surpassed Lu Yin's. She was a member of the Mebis clan. The Mebis clan was born with divine strength; she had never met anyone with greater strength than her. But at this moment, from Lu Yin's palm, she felt a force as deep as the sea.
With her senses, she could be certain that Lu Yin's strength was even greater than hers; it just hadn't erupted yet. Especially through the contact of their palms, she could feel the terrifying nature of this person's body. It was a kind of terror that was restrained to the extreme. When had Lu Yin become so terrifying? This kind of body was not something an ordinary person could cultivate; it was more like a talent inherited from ancient times.
A gust of wind blew the two apart. In the distance, the old man spoke, "Don't damage the plants."
Lu Yin and Lulu looked down. The cracks on the ground were getting deeper and deeper, and the plants had all been uprooted.
"Sorry, Mentor," Lu Yin apologized.
Lulu stared at Lu Yin, making him feel a little scared. "What are you staring at me for? We haven't decided a winner yet. If you want to continue, we can find another place," Lu Yin said.
Lulu shook her head and pouted. "Freak. No need. You can play by yourself." With that, she left on her own.
Lu Yin was confused. What's wrong with that girl? But she was gone, and now there was no one to compete with him for the Realm Spirit Stone. Let's continue. He had to find out the bottom line of his own strength. With this thought, Lu Yin stepped into the range of the Realm Spirit Stone.
After he entered, the old man opened his eyes a crack, his gaze strange. "Mebis, born with divine strength, a powerful body. That child actually surpasses a Mebis. I can't tell what race he is. Strange, very strange. Just an ordinary person, why can he surpass a Mebis? The surname Lu?"
On the other side, Michelle was walking on a piece of ruin. Apart from a few limited places, the other areas of the Tenth Academy had all been turned into ruins.
Michelle looked up, her eyes glinting. After a moment of contemplation, she seemed to have made up her mind. "I'm sorry, Big Sister. I... want to use my talent."
Outside the Star-Picking Tower, Xia Luo was sitting cross-legged in meditation. Suddenly, he received a message from Lulu. He glanced at it, his eyes filled with surprise. "Such a big change, it's unexpected. I have to work hard too, or I won't be able to keep up."
The dim cyan rain screen of the Rain Observatory Platform stretched endlessly into the distance. And beyond the Rain Observatory Platform was a scene of dilapidated walls and ruins. It could be seen that this place was once glorious but had been turned into ruins overnight. Some places were even still burning with flames that never ceased.
Yin stood on a high point, surveying the ruins. "It's really all gone. The headmaster of the Tenth Academy went mad and destroyed the entire Tenth Academy. This is what caused the Tenth Academy to always be at the bottom. Even the countless combat techniques collected since ancient times were burned. What a pity."
The vast Tenth Academy only had a dozen or so people. No one would believe it if it were told, but that was the truth.
In the face of the Tenth Academy, everyone was like a drop of water in the ocean, insignificant, and it was very rare for them to run into each other.
Lu Yin stayed at the entrance of the world for half a day, then rested for a night before heading to the Sea of Forgotten Sands. Mentor Guan Yu had said that for now, the Rain Observatory Platform couldn't help him much. The place that could increase his strength to the greatest extent was only the Sea of Forgotten Sands.
When Lu Yin left the world entrance, his Realm Spirit War record was 31 wins and 46 losses, the best record among all the new students. No one else knew of this record.
Entering the teleportation device, Lu Yin chose the Sea of Forgotten Sands, his expression grave.
Originally, he had intended to fight a few more matches, but the last match had brought him an unusual shock. The opponent was also a Melting Realm expert but had defeated him, relying on a power he had never experienced but had long heard of—Battle Qi.
"A belligerent person must have spirit; this is Battle Qi. It originates from a person, transcends the heart's original intent, and stems from the very foundation of the human body. It can attack, it can defend, it can break limits, it can crush the heavens, it can tear the stars." This was the description of Battle Qi. Someone had said that these words contained both the power and the cultivation method of Battle Qi, but Lu Yin didn't understand.
After losing his memory before, he had been rescued by his family and had stayed in the Innerverse for a while, hearing of Battle Qi several times. Someone had described it to him as a world-creating power. At that time, Lu Yin had also longed for it, but for various reasons, he couldn't cultivate it and had to stay on Earth until the evolution trial.
He had fought nearly a hundred matches in the Realm Spirit War, and in the last match, he had encountered a Battle Qi expert. He had recognized that kind of power at a glance. It was as if in the dark, this kind of power was very suitable for him, making him eager to understand it.
But he didn't know if the Tenth Academy had a method for cultivating Battle Qi. He could only try his luck at the Sea of Forgotten Sands. To be on par with the Rain Observatory Platform, it must not be simple. And from the name, he knew it was related to the body; perhaps there was a possibility of coming into contact with Battle Qi.
This was his second time coming to the Sea of Forgotten Sands. The first time, he had just glanced at it and then went to the Rain Observatory Platform. This time, Lu Yin intended to stay here.
Stepping out of the teleportation device, under his feet was dry and scorching gravel. As far as the eye could see was a vast sea of sand, boundless.
Tearing off his outer coat, Lu Yin felt the dryness and heat of the Sea of Forgotten Sands. He squatted down and picked up a handful of gravel. It was extremely hard. This was not ordinary gravel. With a little force, even his body felt a trace of pain.
"It really is a good place to cultivate the body," Lu Yin said with emotion, slowly walking into the depths of the desert. His figure gradually distorted under the scorching sun, then disappeared.
There were still more than twenty days until the new student competition. Everyone was preparing.
In the dark starry sky, a huge spaceship jumped out of a wormhole and flew towards the Canglan territory. On the outside of the spaceship was carved a dark green musical note; this was the clan emblem of the Innerverse's Spirit Dream Race.
The Spirit Dream Race was a very famous race in the Innerverse. The race consisted only of females, with no males, and was known as the Kingdom of Women. Every female of the Spirit Dream Race was exquisitely beautiful and moving. More importantly, everyone had a soul-stirring singing voice that could shake the starry sky. If the universe gave a sense of desolation and loneliness, the Spirit Dream Race painted moving musical notes on this desolation, giving this universe a trace of tenderness.
Every member of the Spirit Dream Race was a star; this was recognized in the Innerverse.
Inside the huge spaceship, an exquisitely beautiful woman with long, dark green hair that reached her waist spoke faintly, "How much longer?"
Beside her, someone immediately replied, "Reporting to the Young Matriarch, at most one hour to reach the Tenth Academy."
The woman revealed a smile that lit up the starry sky. "I hope the Tenth Academy won't disappoint me and can help me smoothly awaken Battle Qi."
"Young Matriarch, your visit to the Tenth Academy this time has attracted a lot of attention. The media has been contacting the clan, wanting to know the purpose of your visit so they can announce it."
The woman frowned her beautiful brows. "This media is so annoying, not giving me a moment of peace."
"The Young Matriarch is the most outstanding successor of our Spirit Dream Race in this generation, far surpassing previous generations. You are the brightest star in the Innerverse. Everyone is concerned about your every move; it is unavoidable."
The woman had a headache. She suddenly thought of something and smiled mischievously. "Tell them I'm coming to the Tenth Academy to find the person in my heart."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Whether they were piloting the spaceship or observing the star chart, they all stared blankly at the woman.
"Young Matriarch, you can't joke about this. If you do this, you'll bring disaster to the Tenth Academy. The experts from the various clans pursuing you will destroy the Tenth Academy," someone immediately exclaimed.
The woman blinked and thought for a moment. "Alright, let's not cause them trouble. Those people really might go to the Tenth Academy to cause disaster. Although those people are very annoying, their strength is truly unparalleled in the starry sky. I'm afraid no one in the Tenth Academy can withstand them. In that case, announce that I am going to the Tenth Academy's Sea of Forgotten Sands for training. That place was, after all, once one of the most famous cultivation holy lands."
The people around them finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, Young Matriarch."
No one dared to underestimate the influence of the Spirit Dream Race. They had countless fans in the universe and were true stars. Whether it was ordinary people or cultivators, or the most elite cultivation prodigies of the major powers, a considerable number of them were infatuated with the members of the Spirit Dream Race, not to mention the young matriarch. The weakest of her suitors was the strongest of a power's younger generation. If those people really went to the Tenth Academy to find trouble, in the absence of the mentors, the Tenth Academy would absolutely be crushed.
However, no matter where, the power of the media was all-pervasive. As long as it was said, it would spread. The woman did not know what her joke would bring to the Tenth Academy.
On the other side, in the forest of the Astral-5 Academy, below a Realm Spirit Stone, Hart Phoenix came out, clenching his fists.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Hart for completing the Reaching Realm three-win streak." "Congratulations, Young Master Hart." "Congratulations." ...
Hart Phoenix snorted coldly. "I was a step too late. The mission has already been completed by someone else."
The few people around him looked embarrassed.
"By the way, Young Master Hart, you asked me to pay attention to the recent schedule of the Spirit Dream Race's Young Matriarch, Xi Yue. She has announced that she is going to the Sea of Forgotten Sands of the Tenth Academy," someone suddenly said.
