Star Odyssey

n intensified the closer he approached.
The aura had an indescribable sharpness, and every time Lu Yin looked at it, he felt like his gaze had been stabbed through by something.
There were a few times where he even saw the vague image of a spear shooting towards him.

Then, Lu Yin’s eyes suddenly lost focus and he abruptly stopped moving.
He had heard something that sounded like an anguished roar.
The scene before him distorted and he felt like he had been transported back to ancient times.
He saw a man slowly lift a spear; this was an ancient spear technique and the man was about to use it.
Lu Yin’s head suddenly went numb as he sensed impending mortal danger, causing him to take a step back reflexively.

Someone yelled, waking Lu Yin from his trance.
There was a man staring at Lu Yin with an icy gaze.
His body moved and he launched a spear straight at Lu Yin’s head without another word.

Lu Yin was outraged; not only had this person ambushed him, but he had even gone on to attack him for no reason.
This man had also interrupted the scene that Lu Yin had just seen.
In his eyes, this person deserved death.
Lu Yin had no intention to hold back, and he instantly disappeared with Flash before reappearing behind the man.
Then, Lu Yin activated his Seven Stars Cosmic Palm and thrusted forward, surprising the man.
He responded by swinging his spear backwards, grazing past Lu Yin’s palm and heading straight towards his head.

A palm and a spear were worlds apart in reach, so Lu Yin was forced to reluctantly redirect his Cosmic Palm towards the spear.
The power of the seven stars’ explosion surprised the man, and he nearly dropped his spear.
In the end, he barely managed to disperse the power of the Cosmic Palm, but despite his success, his palm had been injured by the aftershocks and was covered with blood.

Lu Yin raised his hand to hit the tip of the spear, causing the power of his Nine Stacks to rush toward the man through the spear.
The man couldn’t keep his grip on the spear anymore and stumbled a few steps back, his face pale as he looked at Lu Yin in disbelief, each step leaving a clear footprint on the ground.

Lu Yin didn’t plan on letting the man go.
He had been comprehending an ancient scene and had nearly grasped the rare ancient spear technique, but then he had been rudely interrupted by this man.
Lu Yin grabbed the spear and stabbed the man with it.
Lu Yin’s opponent was actually quite powerful; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand Lu Yin’s Cosmic Palm.
However, he hadn’t reached the level of being able to withstand Lu Yin’s Nine Stacks Shockwave Palm, especially after losing his spear.
He simply had no way to retaliate against Lu Yin’s attack.
His body was easily pierced through by his own spear, and he looked at Lu Yin in fury.
“You are so cruel.”

“You brought this upon yourself,” Lu Yin coldly replied as he let go of the spear.
He didn’t bother asking why the man had attacked, as there were way too many possible reasons.
The fact that Lu Yin had been comprehending an ancient scene was more than enough reason to justify his attack.
Everyone was selfish, and since Lu Yin had seen the ancient scene, this person had probably assumed that nobody else would be able to see it again and had thus ambushed him.
Moreover, Lu Yin was just a Melder and shouldn’t be too strong.
That’s why this person hadn’t cared, or maybe there was still another reason—Astral-10.

When someone occupied the weakest position for too long, their former peers would begin to regard them as no longer being qualified to be equals.
Astral-10 had not done anything of note for far too long, and now that they had reappeared, they would definitely face ridicule and resistance from others.

Lu Yin had long since learned why Astral-10 had a rule that required its students to win a hundred victories before they were allowed to enter the Nine Trial Zones.
However, the more time he spent in the training realm, the deeper his understanding; Astral-10 had been weak for far too long.

The spear stopped moving after a while, and the man’s body started fading until it disappeared entirely.
This was a training realm and killing was allowed here.
However, the person wouldn’t truly die as their physical body in their academy would still be fine.
Nevertheless, their spirit would be heavily injured by the event, and this man would probably need some time before he could enter the Dao of Purgatory again.

This was just a small setback, but it was still a shame that Lu Yin hadn’t been able to comprehend the ancient spear technique.

He looked up at Spear Mountain and noticed that he had almost arrived at the majestic and imposing towering peak.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and continued walking forward, but he was soon stopped by two Melder realm students.

“Student, may I know whether you use spears as your weapon?” one of them asked.

Lu Yin’s eyes glinted and he shook his head.
“No.”

“Then you won’t be able to continue on to Spear Mountain.
Leave,” the other person bellowed fiercely.

Lu Yin frowned at this unexpected hurdle.
“Why? Who decided that only spear wielders can enter Spear Mountain?’

The two of them glanced at each other and sneered before answering, “This is a rule set down by Senior Frankfurt, the Area Master of Spear Mountain.”

Lu Yin hesitated; if that was true, then there was nothing he could do about it.
An Area Master held absolute power in the training ground that they ruled over, and no one could object to their rules as long as they weren’t too ridiculous.
Moreover, Frankfurt was from Astral-6 and the Realm Master of the Dao of Purgatory was also from Astral-6.
In some sense, the entire Dao of Purgatory belonged to the Sixth Academy.

Lu Yin paused for a moment before turning around.
He needed to think of another idea.
At worst, he would just find a random spear and pretend that it was his weapon.
He would manage to get in one way or another.

At that moment, a girl casually walked past Lu Yin, headed towards Spear Mountain.
However, the two Melder students didn’t stop her.

Lu Yin looked at the girl.
She was a Melder too, but she hadn’t been stopped.
“Why didn’t you stop her?”

The two who had stopped Lu Yin irritably answered, “We can stop whoever we want.
Do we answer to you?”

Lu Yin raised his brow and he saw their gaze sweep across the back of his hand before he finally understood.
They must have stopped him because he was from Astral-10.
But that was strange as well.
Even if people looked down on Astral-10, they shouldn’t go so far as to treat students from Astral-10 as enemies.
The students from the Astral Combat Academies weren’t dumb and wouldn’t find trouble for themselves for no reason.
Lu Yin thought about it from another angle.
What if the two of them were deliberately picking on him? Lu Yin suddenly remembered Xi Yue and how he had a poor reputation within the Astral Combat Academies.
He probably had countless enemies among the academies now.
