Seeing Through the Weakness

The corner of Shuz's mouth was stained with a dazzling trace of blood. He gripped his battle saber and stared at Lulu in disbelief. This woman was a true freak, with such immense strength. If he hadn't dodged the vital point at the critical moment, that last punch would have finished him.

"I apologize to you for my rudeness. You are a respectable opponent," Shuz said solemnly.

Lulu's expression softened, looking much better. She snorted. "Come on, let's continue. I know you're the strongest of the Great Yu Empire's younger generation, but unfortunately, you're no match for me."

"I know. It's an honor to lose," Shuz's tone was low. The once-proud strongest of the Great Yu Empire's younger generation had completely let go of that honor in the Tenth Academy and faced the reality. Here, in the Tenth Academy, he was at the bottom.

The roaring sound of explosions erupted again. Lulu's strength and extreme speed made it impossible for Shuz to even fight back. But he could always dodge the vital points at the critical moment. This was combat experience, the harvest of countless battles. Even so, the injuries on his body were getting heavier and heavier.

Shuz's struggle made Lu Yin clearly see the weakness of the Outerverse. He had come into contact with several of the strongest of the Great Yu Empire's younger generation. He had experienced Gurbach's strength; he still needed external force to execute the Flashing Thunder Arrow. But in the Innerverse, especially among the top elites of the Astral Combat Academies, they all used Star Energy to simulate the realm of myriad changes, enough to drive their combat techniques. This was the gap.

Facing the true geniuses of the Innerverse, the so-called experts of the Outerverse all seemed too ordinary. No wonder Wendy Yushan had looked down on every single one of them back then.

Lulu soared into the air and punched down again. Her combat style was very ordinary, just using force to break through skill. Below, Shuz gritted his teeth, his clothes stained with blood. He raised his saber, and a blood-red halo illuminated a part of the world. This was his combat technique, but it was fiercely blasted open by Lulu. As the blood-red battle saber shattered, Lulu's punch landed beside Shuz, once again blasting a huge deep pit in the ground. And Shuz was sent flying by the aftershock, severely injured and falling to the ground.

Da Pao shook his head and sighed. "Second match, Lulu Mebis wins."

Lu Yin walked to Shuz's side and helped him up. Shuz clutched his chest. "Thank you."

"You did very well. She is from the Mebis clan, a top-tier powerful clan even in the entire universe," Lu Yin comforted.

Shuz's eyes were firm. "No matter what race, they are all human. As a human, there is nothing to say in defeat."

Lu Yin nodded. Shuz's magnanimity earned his respect. This reminded him of another person, Zhang Dingtian. Both were unyielding, both fearless. This kind of person might have a hard future, but they would definitely achieve something. He respected this kind of person.

"Third match, begin."

Yin walked out with a smile. He was number 5.

From the crowd, Hui Baiye walked out. He was number 6.

Hui Baiye was a disciple of the White Night clan, a powerful clan in the universe. His appearance made everyone's eyes turn sharp.

Lu Yin's expression was solemn, but not because of Hui Baiye, but because of Yin. Others didn't know, but he knew that Yin was related to the Neo-Human Alliance. The Neo-Human Alliance was the most troublesome opponent for the human domains in the universe, including powers like the White Night clan, the Mebis clan, and the Fire Domain, all of whom were fighting against the Neo-Human Alliance.

Hui Baiye was a disciple of the White Night clan, but Yin's status was probably even greater.

Seeing Yin, Xia Luo's expression changed, his eyes rarely turning icy.

Since entering the Tenth Academy, besides losing one match in the Realm Spirit War, Yin had not shown anything else, looking very ordinary. This kind of person was easy to overlook, including by Hui Baiye. He only wanted to fight Lu Yin; this smiling fellow in front of him disgusted him.

"Night Light Finger!" Hui Baiye shouted, took a step, and appeared in front of Yin at extreme speed. A finger glowing with a dark gray light pierced the void, its target aimed straight at Yin's heart.

Yin still had a smile on his face, but a trace of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes. The beautiful butterfly knife let out a soft sound, which was very small but covered the entire front. Hui Baiye's eyebrow twitched. He only felt a chill in his finger and subconsciously shifted his attack direction, grazing past the butterfly knife.

"What a pity, you dodged it," Yin revealed a brilliant smile and looked at Hui Baiye very casually.

Hui Baiye's expression was solemn. The butterfly knife's cut just now had made him feel a sense of crisis. If he hadn't dodged at the critical moment, his finger might have been cut off. The man in front of him was not simple.

Lu Yin's eyes lit up. It was this butterfly knife. He had fought with it several times, and each time it was a draw. Even though he had become considerably stronger today, the moment he saw the butterfly knife, he still felt a chill. Yin's speed of improvement was not much slower than his.

In the sky, Mentor Guan Yu looked at Yin. "This person can see through weaknesses."

Swish! This time, Yin took the initiative to attack. The butterfly knife spun rapidly, and a silver-white streak cut through the void towards Hui Baiye. A cruel look flashed in Hui Baiye's eyes as he stared at the butterfly knife's trajectory to dodge. But the strange thing was that every time the butterfly knife's attack path collided with him. To outsiders, it looked as if he was intentionally hitting the blade. This feeling made Hui Baiye want to vomit with disgust.

After several times like this, which looked strange to the others, Hui Baiye shouted, "White Night Spirit-Chasing Finger!" With that, a finger broke through the void, and his whole person disappeared. Yin stopped in his original spot, his eyes opening a crack, feeling the tearing pain in his body. The White Night clan's combat technique was just that disgusting. But, that was all.

In an instant, the butterfly knife danced, and a snow-white halo streaked across. A streak of blood in the void splashed onto the grassland. Hui Baiye's body emerged in a sorry state, a huge bloody gash on his chest that shocked everyone.

"Sorry, you were standing too handsomely. I couldn't help but slash you," Yin said with a smile.

Hui Baiye's pupils contracted, and he looked at Yin in shock. When he had used the White Night Spirit-Chasing Finger to fight Lu Yin before, he could still extend a finger. This person had actually broken his combat technique before he could even attack. How was that possible? There was actually such a strong person among the new students.

In the crowd, Ke Ke was scared. She had always felt that Yin's smile was very scary.

The others looked at Yin with grave expressions, a chill running down their spines. The flash of light in that instant had horrified them; they felt it would be very difficult to dodge. This person was extremely dangerous. One had to keep a distance when fighting him.

Michelle's eyes were full of surprise. At this moment, she felt it was a bit absurd. She had originally thought that since the Tenth Academy was exiled to the Outerverse, it wouldn't recruit any elites. But the few battles just now had shattered her perception. Xia Luo, Lulu, and the Yin in front of her were all not simple. Although Hui Baiye had lost, he was a disciple of the White Night clan. And there was also Hei Xu, who had surprised her the most at the beginning, and the gradually rising Lu Yin. The new students of the Tenth Academy had brought her too many surprises.

Only at this moment did she truly get to know these classmates.

Not just Michelle, but the others as well. At the beginning, they had no interaction with each other. Only at this moment did they truly witness the strength of the others.

"Third match, Yin wins," Da Pao said.

Hui Baiye was not convinced. "It's not over yet."

Da Pao was dismissive. "If his knife had gone a little deeper just now, you wouldn't even be alive. It's over. You lost this match."

Hui Baiye gritted his teeth, wanting to refute but having no words to say. He still couldn't understand how that one slash had broken his combat technique. This was a combat technique of the White Night clan, yet it was so easily broken. He couldn't understand. Either the opponent's combat technique was too strong, or the opponent was far superior to him. No matter which, his chances of winning were not high.

Yin walked into the crowd with a smile, turned his head to smile at Lu Yin, and then glanced at Xia Luo.

"Fourth match, begin."

After the three appetizers before, everyone's attitude was much more serious. The classmates around them were not simple; they could not be treated with the eyes of the Outerverse.

Zhao Yilong slowly walked out. He was number 7.

On the other side, Ke Ke carefully walked out. She was number 8.

"Go, Ke Ke!" Zahra shouted, startling Ke Ke. She was already nervous, and now she was even more so.

Lulu patted Ke Ke's head. "Little sister, don't be afraid. Go on."

Ke Ke blinked.

Lu Yin chuckled. This girl was too nervous.

Zhao Yilong's face was ugly. He wanted a fierce battle, but seeing that his opponent was Ke Ke, he was immediately disappointed. No matter how he looked at it, that girl didn't look like an expert.

"Go on, little sister," Lulu encouraged again.

Helpless, Ke Ke took a deep breath and walked out, facing Zhao Yilong.

The ancient longsword in Zhao Yilong's hand reflected a cold light, his eyes icy.

Seeing this scene, Ke Ke took two steps back, pursed her lips, and her eyes became firm. She had also entered the Tenth Academy on her own merits; she was not afraid. With this thought, a huge syringe appeared. In an instant, everyone was stunned. This... was a syringe?

Zhao Yilong was also stunned.

Here, apart from a few people like Lu Yin, most had never seen Ke Ke's talent. The appearance of the huge syringe was indeed a bit worldview-shattering.

"I'm ready," Ke Ke said in a crisp voice.

Opposite her, Zhao Yilong gripped the hilt of his sword, not knowing how to make a move. The other party was still a girl, after all, and very young, the youngest among everyone.

The scene was in a stalemate for a moment.

"You should just admit defeat," Zhao Yilong said in a low voice.

Ke Ke shook her head. "I won't."

Zhao Yilong frowned. "I won't hold back when I attack."

Ke Ke bit her lip. "Come on."

Zhao Yilong's eyes narrowed. He casually waved his hand, and a slash cut through the void towards Ke Ke. Ke Ke's body suddenly vanished, unbelievably fast, shocking everyone.

Zahra smiled. The rule of Xuanfeng Hall was two people to a team. She and Ke Ke were a team. When facing danger, she would attack, and Ke Ke was in charge of healing. Even so, it didn't mean Ke Ke had no combat power. Her endurance was very strong; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand the three void attacks in the Tenth Academy's assessment before. More importantly, she had mastered an extreme speed, from Xuanfeng Hall.

Ke Ke's extreme speed even surprised Lulu; it was no worse than her White Flash.

Lu Yin was also surprised. So fast.

Zhao Yilong's slash missed, not touching Ke Ke at all. He raised an eyebrow, and his wrist trembled. A series of slashes cut through the void, sealing a hundred-meter radius, an all-encompassing attack. But it still couldn't hit Ke Ke. Ke Ke's figure seemed to be able to merge into the void, dodging all the slashes.

Zhao Yilong's expression turned serious. "I'll ask you one last time, will you admit defeat?"

Ke Ke shook her head.

"My Myriad Swords Mountain roams the universe. Even the void can be cut. Hiding in the void is useless. Don't blame me if you die," Zhao Yilong's tone was low. He placed one hand on the hilt of his sword and, with a little force, the longsword suddenly turned into ten sword shadows, then he thrust out with one sword.

"Ten Swords in One!" Zahra was surprised.
