The Limit of Void Flash

"Wait a minute, what Realm Master, Domain Master? What does that mean?" Lu Yin frowned.

Ranuk was puzzled. "You don't know the meaning of Realm Master and Domain Master?"

Lu Yin snorted coldly. "Less nonsense. Just tell me what I asked."

Ranuk coughed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, a little out of breath, "The Astral Combat Academies hold the keys to the Three Realms and Six Paths Trial Worlds. And within the Three Realms and Six Paths, there are many magical trial grounds. Powerful students can control these trial grounds and gain great benefits. Among them, the one who can control an entire Trial World is the Realm Master, and the one who can control a famous trial ground within a world is the Domain Master. Have you never been to the Three Realms and Six Paths?"

Lu Yin's eyes were thoughtful. So that was what the Three Realms and Six Paths were. "Are Domain Masters very strong?"

Ranuk sneered. "Strong? That's not enough to describe them. Each Trial World only has a few famous trial grounds. Only the experts who control these trial grounds are qualified to be called Domain Masters. Any Trial World has over a thousand elite students competing for supremacy. These students are not just in the Melting Realm; a considerable number are Limiteer Realm experts. To be able to snatch the position of Domain Master from the hands of these experts, do you think they're strong?"

"You're the second on the Fire Domain's ranking list, yet the top ranker can become a Domain Master. Is he that much stronger than you?" Lu Yin found it strange.

Ranuk was silent. This was also a matter that had been troubling him. Gall was much stronger than him. Not only was he in the Limiteer Realm, but he had also defeated numerous experts to seize the position of Domain Master. He had no idea what Gall's combat bottom line was.

"And the Realm Master? Who is it?" Lu Yin was curious. To be able to control an entire Trial World, how terrifying was that? He didn't even have the qualifications to enter a Trial World.

Mentioning the Realm Master, a trace of fear flashed in Ranuk's eyes. "The Realm Master's name is Feng Shang. He is the strongest among the current students of my Eighth Academy and also a member of the Astral Combat Academy's Student Council. He created the Great Wind Gate, which covers the peak of the Illusory Path."

"The Astral Combat Academy's Student Council?" Lu Yin was puzzled.

Ranuk said with longing, "The Astral Combat Academy is divided into ten academies, but there is one Student Council that manages all the combat academies. Only by reaching the level of a Realm Master can one join. The Astral Combat Academy's Student Council is a subordinate organization of the Ten Arbiters Council and has the power to request decisions from the Ten Arbiters Council."

"You can meet the Ten Arbiters?" Lu Yin's eyes lit up.

Ranuk nodded. "Theoretically, yes."

"How do you join?" Lu Yin asked.

Ranuk said, "I've already told you, only by reaching the level of a Realm Master can one join. Theoretically, each combat academy has one person who can join. But for hundreds of years, the Student Council has maintained nine members. Your Tenth Academy has been separated from the Student Council for hundreds of years."

Lu Yin was silent.

"It's rumored that your Tenth Academy was exiled to the Outerverse. Although it was the decision of the Ten Arbiters Council, the proposal came from the Student Council. The Student Council reported the proposal to the Ten Arbiters Council, and finally, the Ten Arbiters decided to exile the Tenth Academy. Speaking of which, you should really thank the Student Council. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the chance to join the Tenth Academy," Ranuk mocked.

Lu Yin raised his hand and slapped Ranuk hard on the head. "Just talk. Less of the sarcastic tone."

Ranuk was furious but couldn't beat Lu Yin and could only endure.

"Tell me about Gall. What is his strength really like?" Lu Yin was curious. He had a premonition that he would definitely run into this person in the future.

Ranuk shook his head. "I don't know. Gall is the strongest successor of my Fire Domain. The Fire Domain has used all its cultivation resources on him. I only know that he has definitely learned the Fire Domain's ancient inherited combat technique, the Calamity Fire Flame Sword. As for what he has obtained in the Eighth Academy, I don't know. Not to mention he is also a Domain Master, and no one knows what he has obtained in the Illusory Path. No one has ever forced out his true strength."

Lu Yin's expression was grave. This person was more troublesome than he had imagined. The Calamity Fire Flame Sword, just by its name, sounded not simple. For the Fire Domain to be passed down for countless years in the Innerverse, this combat technique must have played a very strong role. And the Illusory Path, one of the Six Paths, he didn't know what he had obtained in there.

"Feng Shang of your Eighth Academy is the Realm Master of the Illusory Path? In other words, the Illusory Path is all people from your Eighth Academy?" Lu Yin asked.

Ranuk shook his head. "Except for the three realms, the other six paths all have people from their respective academies. It's just that our Eighth Academy focuses its main energy on the Illusory Path. This is also a tacit understanding among the six great combat academies. Each combat academy focuses on one path. If one dares to snatch more, it will surely cause the anger of many."

Lu Yin was annoyed. The three realms were divided by the top three academies, and the remaining six paths were divided by the six great combat academies, with nothing for the Tenth Academy. The division was clear enough. No wonder the Tenth Academy stipulated that one had to win a hundred times in the Realm Spirit War to enter the Trial World. The other nine great combat academies had already divided everything. If a student from the Tenth Academy went in, they would surely be out of luck, either ridiculed or directly expelled. Without some strength, it was better not to go in and lose face.

"I've said so much. Can you return my things to me now?" Ranuk said.

Lu Yin casually threw the red star card to Ranuk. He really didn't care about the Fire Domain's combat technique. He hadn't even mastered his own, and unless it was a truly supreme combat technique, he wasn't interested. If it were that Calamity Fire Flame Sword, he wouldn't have returned it so easily no matter what.

"How much money is in these cards of yours?" Lu Yin asked.

Ranuk gritted his teeth, his face ugly. "Seventy thousand cubic meters of Star Crystals."

Lu Yin's eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't help but smile. He had money again! Including Xi Yue's, he had a total of nearly one hundred and fifty thousand cubic meters of Star Crystals on him, a huge sum.

Robbery was still the fastest way, especially from these elite disciples of major Innerverse powers. They were so rich. Look at those students from the Great Yu Empire; all of them together didn't even have a few cubic meters. The gap was too big. "Not bad, not bad. Welcome to challenge me again next time," Lu Yin encouraged.

As he spoke, he took out a sign and wrote down the rules for a spar, the same as with Ranuk: either twenty thousand cubic meters or hand over the spatial ring upon defeat. He knew that there would definitely be many bored disciples coming to find trouble next, so he wrote it down to save himself the trouble of talking.

This rule made Ranuk's chest feel stuffy. He coughed again, even coughing up a trace of blood. He glared at Lu Yin fiercely and turned to leave.

"Welcome back anytime," Lu Yin shouted with a smile.

Ranuk coughed again and ran away as if he couldn't wait. Today was a nightmare for him. He hadn't expected the Tenth Academy to have such a powerhouse, with strength unparalleled in the Melting Realm. Unless that person made a move, there were really not many in the Melting Realm who were this person's opponent.

Watching Ranuk disappear, the smile on Lu Yin's face faded, and his expression turned grave.

The experts of the other combat academies were unexpected. He had originally thought that after breaking through to the Melting Realm, with his physical body and Battle Qi, he would be able to roam freely. But from Ranuk's description, he was still far from it. He might not even be able to defeat a Domain Master, let alone a Realm Master. And there were also the top three academies that occupied the three realms; there would only be more powerhouses there.

His speed was still too slow. He had to get stronger as soon as possible, Lu Yin thought to himself.

Behind him, a tall figure had appeared at some point. His upper body was bare, his strong muscles bulging, covered in dense scars, quietly looking at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin turned around, saw the figure, and his expression changed. Then he remembered something and turned slightly. "Greetings, Mentor of the Sea of Sands."

The tall figure was indeed the Mentor of the Sea of Sands. "Little fellow, you have comprehended Battle Qi and have been barely recognized by the Sea of Forgotten Sands. You can choose a combat technique, and I will help you deduce it."

A glint flashed in Lu Yin's eyes. He had forgotten about this. The Rain Observatory Platform could be recognized, so the Sea of Forgotten Sands naturally could as well. Battle Qi was the mark of recognition, and the requirement was much higher than the Rain Observatory Platform. "Thank you, Mentor."

"Speak. What combat technique?" the Mentor of the Sea of Sands' expression was serious as he quietly looked at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was silent for a long time, then looked up and said solemnly, "Void Flash."

The Mentor of the Sea of Sands' eyes narrowed. "Show me."

Lu Yin exerted force in his calves, and his body vanished. It was Void Flash.

At this moment, his Void Flash was not quite the same as when Tao Xiang had taught him. It had integrated some of Bai She's skills, and its speed had increased a little. It was enough to deal with ordinary Melting Realm experts, and he could even face Limiteer Realm experts. But Lu Yin would not forget the scene of being imprisoned by someone's Star Energy in the Realm Spirit War. He did not want to repeat that; he wanted to increase the speed of Void Flash again.

The Mentor of the Sea of Sands' eyes showed surprise. He had seen the skills of the White Night clan's movement technique. This little fellow really surprised him. A terrifying physical talent, a sealed body, and that kind of cultivation art that Guan Yu had mentioned. Today, he even had the combat technique skills of the White Night clan. Very good, very smart, a pity it was too messy.

"Little fellow, do you know that when the body breaks through a certain limit, it can bring about different changes?" the Mentor of the Sea of Sands said faintly, placing one hand on Lu Yin's shoulder. "Let me see your limit." With that, he exerted force with one hand. Lu Yin only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the scene before his eyes changed. The desert flashed by like a fleeting glimpse, as if he were teleporting. No, it wasn't the desert teleporting, but him. His eyes couldn't keep up with the changes at all; the speed was too fast. Behind him, a series of afterimages slowly disappeared. On both sides, a trace of—a spatial crack even appeared.

Lu Yin's pupils contracted. A spatial crack? This was not an effect that a Melting Realm cultivator could achieve. For speed to be able to crack the void, what kind of speed was this?

Beside him, the Mentor of the Sea of Sands was also surprised. The little fellow's body hadn't reached its limit yet. Tough enough, he liked it. With this thought, his speed increased.

The pain on Lu Yin's body spread, and his skin slowly cracked. On both sides, spatial cracks streaked by like streams of water. In a fleeting glimpse, he seemed to have seen Michelle, who then vanished in a flash.

Suddenly, everything before his eyes stopped. Lu Yin directly vomited. He was dizzy. The speed was too fast, and his body couldn't keep up.

The Mentor of the Sea of Sands' eyes showed surprise. After the seal was lifted, his body had become so terrifying. Few in the Melting Realm could compare. This person's clan must be extremely powerful. Where did he come from? He couldn't tell; there were no obvious characteristics. The characteristics of the few clans with powerful bodies were all very obvious.

After vomiting for a long while, Lu Yin finally recovered, his face a little pale, and he smiled bitterly. "Mentor of the Sea of Sands, the speed was too fast."

The Mentor of the Sea of Sands said calmly, "That was the limit your brain could withstand just now. Comprehend it yourself. By the way, the limit of your physical body has not yet been reached."

Lu Yin was surprised. "I can do what I just did?"

The Mentor of the Sea of Sands looked into the depths of the desert. "Movement combat techniques have extremely high requirements for the body. Your body is very strong. If you use it properly, you can achieve it. Comprehend it yourself." With that, his body vanished.

Lu Yin pondered, then resolutely sat down and carefully comprehended the extreme speed and his body's reaction just now.

Just as the Mentor of the Sea of Sands left, his expression changed slightly. He looked into the distance, pondered for a moment, then took a step and entered the void.
