Lu Yin's Fame

Those who love a spectacle are never afraid of big trouble, and that was exactly how Xiao Pao felt. Lu Yin was the same. It wasn't until he received a warning from the Mentor of the Sea of Sands that he reluctantly made a move, his figure vanishing.

In the sky, the two undying phoenixes were still clashing. Lu Yin appeared directly in front of Hart. In Hart's shocked eyes, Lu Yin pressed down with his hand, Ninefold Nine-Wave Palm. With a thud, the terrifying palm force shattered the golden undying phoenix and directly pressed Hart to the ground. At the same time, Lu Yin turned and slapped towards Boni. Boni's pupils contracted, and he blasted out his black flames, but they were still shattered by Lu Yin's palm.

The Ninefold Nine-Wave Palm contained the Ninefold Impact, combined with nine Three-Wave Palms, its power was immeasurable. At least, those at the level of Hart, Boni, and Ranuk couldn't block it. Both were pressed deep into the ground.

The shocking clash between the two undying phoenixes was thus resolved by Lu Yin.

The few students from the Fifth Academy were horrified. They knew very well how powerful Hart was after breaking through to the Melting Realm. It could be said that even among the Melting Realm cultivators of the Fifth Academy, he could rank in the top 10, yet he was still defeated. This person's strength was beyond their predictions.

Underground in the desert, blood trickled from the corner of Hart's mouth. He looked up angrily. He had lost again. Even after breaking through to the Melting Realm, he had still lost. Why was this person so strong? Could he actually contend with those few freaks?

Not far away, Boni spat out a mouthful of blood and looked up in shock. The Tenth Academy actually had a peer of the same realm who could crush him. Although he wasn't the strongest in the Melting Realm of the Ninth Academy, he was ranked in the top 5. Yet he couldn't beat this person. No wonder the mentor had asked him to investigate; the Tenth Academy was hiding so much.

Lu Yin looked down. "The Tenth Academy is not a place for you to settle personal grudges. If you want to fight, you can find me. If not, please go back."

Hart wiped away the blood and stood up. "Let's go."

Not far away, Boni stood up, gave Hart an unwilling glance, and finally, his gaze swept over to Lu Yin before he also left.

That one palm strike from Lu Yin had let them know that they were not his opponents, so there was no need to get entangled further. If they wanted to fight, there would be many opportunities in the future.

Watching the two groups leave, Lu Yin thought it was a pity. He had been too heavy-handed; otherwise, he could have earned another large sum.

Xiao Pao stared at the two groups until they boarded their spaceships and left the Tenth Academy before returning.

Inside the spaceship, Hart opened his personal communicator. A light screen appeared in front of him, and a handsome man appeared on the screen.

Seeing the man, the few students from the Fifth Academy immediately turned around, not daring to even lift their heads.

"What is it?"

Hart gritted his teeth. "I want to enter the family's secret realm."

"I asked, what is it?"

"I lost. I lost to Lu Yin of the Tenth Academy."

"How many moves?"

"One move," Hart's face was ugly.

The man was silent. "Unless you undergo metamorphosis, you are no match for that person."

Hearing the word "metamorphosis", Hart's expression changed, a trace of fear in his eyes. "Can I... undergo metamorphosis?"

The man's eyes were cold. "If you want to win, you must undergo metamorphosis. But to undergo metamorphosis is to face a ninety percent chance of death."

Hart clenched his fists. In his mind, it wasn't just Lu Yin, but also the few Melting Realm freaks in the Fifth Academy. Lu Yin was just a catalyst. He didn't want to be inferior to even a student from a discarded Academy. What he wanted to carry was the glory of the Phoenix family, not to be a weakling who couldn't even defeat a fallen traitor. "I will undergo metamorphosis."

The man revealed a smile. "I will make the arrangements. If you succeed in your metamorphosis, you can directly join the Ten Arbiters Council. If you fail and die, I will avenge you. Lu Yin, is it? I will remember this name."

"Thank you, big brother," Hart's tone was low.

The light screen disappeared. The few students from the Fifth Academy looked up and breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure from that person was too great. One of the Ten Arbiters, the Undying Phoenix, Serati Phoenix.

For the next two days, the Tenth Academy was relatively stable; no one came. They were probably on their way and not that fast.

Lu Yin asked about the situation of the others and learned that they had all found suitable cultivation spots for themselves.

"The Tenth Academy has other cultivation grounds?" Lu Yin was surprised.

Xiao Pao said, "Of course. Our Tenth Academy has been passed down for countless years. Although it was destroyed by an accident, some cultivation spots still exist. They're just not as intact as the Rain Observatory Platform or the Sea of Forgotten Sands. But there are definitely places suitable for them. Like that Zhao Yilong, he found a cliff and had an epiphany. And that Zahra, she found a graveyard and communicates with skeletons all day. Anyway, these people all have their own gains."

"What about me? Is there a cultivation spot suitable for me?" Lu Yin asked.

Xiao Pao rolled his eyes. "Find it yourself. How would I know? I'm a student too, okay? The mentors who truly understand the Tenth Academy are gone. Why don't you go ask the headmaster?"

Lu Yin remembered that mad old man. Forget it. He still wanted to live a few more years.

At this moment, Lu Yin remembered something. Back on the spaceship, Lulu had told him she wanted to get an item at the Tenth Academy and wanted to fight someone. He didn't know if she had gotten it.

"You should stay here. It'll be quiet for a few days, but it won't be so quiet after that. Those powerhouses from the Innerverse are probably coming soon," Xiao Pao said.

Lu Yin shrugged. It was about time.

The battle that had taken place in the Sea of Forgotten Sands was somehow leaked. Ranuk was defeated, Hart Phoenix was defeated, Boni was defeated. These three were all famous in their respective academies, yet they had lost to Lu Yin, shaking all the major academies.

Xi Yue's news had already greatly increased Lu Yin's fame. Now, because of his battle record, more and more people had heard of him. Even the experts who were originally not interested in Xi Yue began to investigate Lu Yin, showing their desire to fight.

At the Astral-6 Academy, people were discussing, "Strange. A discarded place like the Tenth Academy can actually produce a powerhouse who can defeat a disciple of the Phoenix family. Wonders never cease."

"The universe is vast; there are all kinds of people. I heard the Fire Domain is furious. Ranuk is, after all, the second on the Fire Domain's ranking list, and his spatial ring was directly taken by that Lu Yin. He's lost face all the way to the Outerverse."

"They deserved it. During the Tenth Academy's assessment, the Fire Domain's ambush failed. This time, they sent someone to find trouble again and got beaten up. The faces of those people from the Fire Domain must be black, haha."

"Shh, do you want to die? You're also active in the Illusory Path. Don't run into Gall, or you'll be in for it."

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I won't go to the Illusory Path. It's not like you can die there."

"But being killed, the damage to one's spirit is great. Gall is a Domain Master. If he really wants to find trouble with you, you can't run anywhere."

...

"Shut up! Look who that is!" The discussing student looked not far away and took in a cold breath. In his line of sight was a charming and moving, exquisitely beautiful woman, her white hair cascading down to her bare feet. She wore cool summer clothes, her skin radiant. On her finger was a black ring with a silver edge. It was Comilla.

"It's Senior Comilla! Senior Comilla is back!" a student shouted fanatically.

The eyes of the others were full of excitement, all fixed on Comilla.

The Sixth Academy was in an uproar.

Comilla was an undisputed star in the Sixth Academy. Because she had entered the Explorer Realm, she could no longer stay at the school, but she was still a student of the Sixth Academy and concurrently a junior councilor of the Ten Arbiters Council, her status second only to the Ten Arbiters.

Comilla gave a faint smile, her red pupils sweeping over the crowd, making many people's breathing quicken. So... so charming.

"Lu Yin, is it? I underestimated you. You haven't even entered the Trial World and you've already made such a big name for yourself. Come to think of it, Xue'er is also at the Tenth Academy. Interesting," Comilla thought to herself. She walked very slowly but disappeared very quickly, gone in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a fragrant breeze.

Another day passed. Four days after Hart and the others left, the troublemakers appeared one after another, also for Xi Yue, in wave after wave, everywhere. A considerable number of them were not from the Astral Combat Academies.

Facing these people, Lu Yin didn't refuse anyone who came. He followed his own rules and made a huge profit. No one was his opponent.

The true experts wouldn't run to the Outerverse because of a single sentence from Xi Yue. These people were all second-rate, not even as good as Hart. To Lu Yin, they were all just delivering money.

In just over ten days, he had earned nearly 300,000 cubic meters of Star Crystals. Even he himself felt that he was being a bit too ruthless.

It wasn't until two weeks later, when his fame grew larger and larger, that no one came to find trouble anymore.

The major combat academies had taken notice of him. The two words 'Lu Yin' were no longer so unfamiliar. At least a considerable number of people had heard of him. His fame was great, but it wasn't very good: molesting Xi Yue, robbing classmates, being obsessed with money... a series of dirty labels were all thrown onto him.

When Xi Yue returned to the Spirit Dream Race and heard of this, she gritted her teeth in anger. Was there no one who could teach that bastard a lesson?

At the Astral-8 Academy, the scorching molten rock rolled. Ranuk stood anxiously, not daring to speak. He had been standing here for more than ten days.

Above the molten rock, a scorching red airflow was like an ocean, flowing into the distance.

"You failed?" A heavy voice sounded.

Ranuk lowered his head. "Yes, Senior Brother. I'm sorry, I failed."

"Trash."

Ranuk didn't dare to refute.

"Spread out our people into the Six Paths. If you run into anyone from the Tenth Academy, report to me immediately. I want to blockade everyone from the Tenth Academy."

Ranuk was overjoyed. "Yes."

Lu Yin, in the Tenth Academy, was unaware that a world-shaking event was happening in the Great Yu Empire. The Second Prince, Duke Yushan, had led the Imperial Court's Seventh, Eighth, Tenth, and Twelfth Squads in a rebellion, invading five domains of the Canglan territory at lightning speed, shaking the entire Canglan territory and even the surrounding territories.

When Undying Yushan learned of the news, he was overcome with anger, severely injured, and fell into a coma. The Great Yu Empire was in a precarious situation.

In the imperial court's grand hall, Dolan Yushan's expression was grim. "Announce that Duke Yushan has rebelled. Captain Batson of the Seventh Squad has rebelled, Captain Sha Mu of the Eighth Squad has rebelled, Captain Filute of the Tenth Squad has rebelled, and Captain Ban Jiu of the Twelfth Squad has rebelled. A nationwide arrest warrant is issued. The war has begun."

Duke Yushan's sudden rebellion had caught the Great Yu Empire off guard. By the time they reacted, all of Duke Yushan's followers had left, including the Vice Minister of Finance, Sika, and a group of other court officials, as well as the empire's once-powerful Sword Armor Mercenary Group... Even many young masters from the Martial Hall had left. The Imperial Court's army on the second ring continent was in chaos.

Amidst these major events, there were also some small, unnoticed things happening. For example, Zhang Dingtian, Shi Wuzhang, Bai Xue, and Xu San had all disappeared for some reason. If it were a time of peace, these matters would definitely have a major impact; after all, they were all elites of the Martial Hall. But at this moment, no one cared.

A few more days passed. Today was the day of the Tenth Academy's new student competition. Lu Yin had left the Sea of Forgotten Sands early and appeared at the entrance of the world. This was the competition venue.
