Chapter 96

"Do you not want to know his condition? It's said that he defeated Ghostfire," the man asked.

Wendy continued walking, this news not causing her the slightest change in expression. Ghostfire? To her, he was just an ant, not worth her time to pay attention to.

The man watched as Wendy disappeared, his smile gradually fading. He opened his personal terminal, "Do as you please."

"Yes, Councilor Bujin," Bazal's voice replied.

For the next half month, Lu Yin did not leave the Zishan Mansion for a single step. He was experiencing the third-layer combat technique, trying to integrate the third-layer force into other combat techniques, while also observing the star map.

During this period, he also rolled the dice, but he found that the numbers one and four appeared most frequently, while the number three never appeared at all, nor did the number six. The number two appeared once, but it was not very useful.

Lu Yin temporarily decided not to roll the dice. He didn't have many star energy crystals left, and he also felt that his mental state was a bit poor, probably due to frequently rolling the dice. He would take a break until he could replenish his star energy crystals.

Thus, when Lu Yin had been on Zhenyu Star for nearly two months, a shocking piece of news shook the entire outer universe: the Tenth Star Academy had descended.

The Tenth Star Academy, which carried the hopes of countless young people in the Canglan Domain, had finally appeared.

There were countless academies in the universe, but none reached the level of the Star Battle Academies, especially when the Ninth Star Academy descended upon the Endless Domain, giving birth to countless geniuses and causing the entire outer universe to boil. For so many years, the seventy-two domains of the outer universe had been trying to bring another Star Battle Academy, and now it had finally been realized—the Tenth Star Academy had appeared.

No one knew how the Star Battle Academy appeared or how to enter it, but only some super-strong individuals could get the information, such as the Immortal Yushan of the Great Universe Empire, the Lord of Lianyan Star, Yan Wujian, and others. On that day, the Immortal Yushan announced to the nation that in five days, the captain of the thirteenth team of the royal court, Juelang, the captain of the fifth team, Huo Qing Shan, the captain of the ninth team, Luo Ke Ona, and the crown prince, Duo Lan Yushan, would lead the students to the Tenth Star Academy.

Lu Yin also received the notification that he could go to the Tenth Star Academy to participate in the assessment.

Initially, those who failed the Earth trial were not supposed to have the qualifications to go, but some of them had special identities, and no one dared to stop them, such as Lu Yin, Jenny Ona, Lulu Mebis, and others. These people could also go to the Tenth Star Academy, along with those who successfully passed the planet trial and the elite students of the Yutang, totaling nearly a hundred people.

The Great Universe Empire alone had nearly a hundred people going to participate in the assessment, and the entire Canglan Domain combined would have hundreds of thousands of people. Adding the geniuses from other domains and even the inner universe, the Tenth Star Academy assessment would gather an unknown number of geniuses.

"Xiusi and the other five hall masters are going, as well as Huo Xiaoling, Jenny Ona, Las, Xia Luo, Lulu..." Lu Yin looked at the list, quite excited. Among the hundred people, there were quite a few familiar faces. It was quite interesting to see how many of them could join the Tenth Star Academy. Hmm? Even Ghostfire is going, and he is also accompanying the Great Universe Empire.

At this moment, Lu Yin thought of Mira, that seductive woman. With the Red Lotus Demon Bow, only by joining the Tenth Star Academy and achieving something that would make her proud could he be recommended to join the Outer Universe Youth Council. Lu Yin believed she had the ability, after all, she came from the Ten Decision Council.

If he joined the Outer Universe Youth Council instead of the Great Universe Empire Youth Council, as his family wanted, would it shock them? Lu Yin was quite looking forward to it.

At this moment, a notification came, and Lu Yin looked at it with a surprised expression, "Bazal actually invited me to a banquet?"

Ding ding ding ding

Gulbahk contacted Lu Yin, and Lu Yin opened the screen.

"Bazal invited you?" Gulbahk asked immediately upon seeing Lu Yin.

Lu Yin nodded, "Did he invite you too?"

"More accurately, he invited all the students going to the Tenth Star Academy for the assessment. Are you going?" Helbahk asked.

Lu Yin hesitated. From Ghostfire's attitude, he knew that the Outer Universe Youth Council did not like him, probably due to his relationship with Wendy Yushan. Attending their banquet at this time would be asking for trouble.

"Lu Yin, it's best to go. As a member of the Outer Universe Youth Council, Bazal must know a lot about the Star Battle Academy," Gulbahk said seriously.

Lu Yin's eyes flashed. That was true. "Alright, I'll go."

Gulbahk nodded and closed the screen.

That evening, at the Great Universe Hotel in the capital, many students gathered in the luxurious top-floor banquet hall, a significant number of them from noble families, including Las, Wu Kaimaldu, and others, as well as Huo Xiaoling and Jenny Ona. When Lu Yin arrived, the place was almost full.

Lu Yin's first glance fell on Xiusi, who was truly unique. Everyone else was dressed neatly, as if for a wedding, but he was dressed casually, especially with his bare upper body, as if he wanted everyone to see his scars.

In stark contrast to Xiusi was Las, who looked like a peacock spreading its feathers, as if he were on a date.

The banquet was essentially a chance for everyone to get to know each other, as they were all going to the Tenth Star Academy for the assessment and could help each other.

Lu Yin scanned the room, passing over Huo Xiaoling and the other noble children, and walked to the long table where Gulbahk was eating a large piece of meat.

"Why did you come? Aren't you going to socialize?" Gulbahk asked, his words unclear as he spoke with a mouth full of meat, causing a nearby girl in a fancy robe to walk away in disgust, patting her hands as she left.

Lu Yin shrugged, "Not interested. Why isn't anyone talking to you? After all, you're the head of the Yutang and one of the top experts in the empire."

Gulbahk sneered, "Not many people know me."

"But everyone has heard of you," Lu Yin said with a smile.

Pang! Gules suddenly appeared, glaring at Lu Yin, "You still dare to show up?"

Lu Yin rolled his eyes, "What's wrong? I helped you during the trial."

Gules was furious, "You," but suddenly stopped, as she didn't want to reveal that she had been robbed by Lu Yin, fearing it would embarrass her.

Lu Yin's lips curved, and he casually picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Gules' mouth, "Eat it. You might not get to eat much when you go to the Star Battle Academy."

Gules glared at Lu Yin and threw the meat away, turning and walking off.

"This girl is really impolite," Gulbahk said, dissatisfied.

Lu Yin replied, "She's a girl, and she should have a bit of a temper. Compared to others, Gules is quite good."

"Is that so?" Gulbahk didn't believe it.

Lu Yin looked at him and slowly walked to Jenny Ona's back, "Hi, Miss Jenny."

Jenny Ona turned around, and upon seeing Lu Yin, her face darkened. She huffed and walked away.

Lu Yin smiled at Gulbahk, "See? Gules has a good temper."

Gulbahk nodded, "It seems so. My sister has good manners."

People nearby who saw this scene grimaced and walked away, speechless.

In the distance, Huo Xiaoling was talking to Huo Zhong. Huo Zhong saw Lu Yin and nodded with a smile. Lu Yin also nodded, and though they didn't interact, the nod was a greeting.

"Xiaoling, this Zishan King is very powerful. Even if you use your Fusion Realm strength, you might not win," Huo Zhong said seriously.

Huo Xiaoling hummed, glancing at Lu Yin. Like Jenny Ona, she always remembered being threatened by Lu Yin. However, she had to admit that he had improved too quickly. She had seen him fight Ghostfire, and his speed was something she couldn't handle. His combat experience was also stronger than hers.

On the other side, Las, who had been acting like a peacock, was now red with anger. Across from him, a young man sneered, "You failed the trial and still have the nerve to come? If it weren't for your father, Las, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to be here."

"Ek, don't forget, you were my defeated opponent," Las growled.

Ek sneered, "That was in the past. Besides, you ultimately failed the trial and can't possibly join the Star Battle Academy. Get lost and give your spot to someone more talented in the empire, ha ha."

Las was furious but couldn't refute it.

The banquet was a social event, especially with the upcoming assessment for the Star Battle Academy. They needed to unite to face the young geniuses from other forces, even from other domains and the inner universe.

The Huo family and the Ona family were surrounded by people, and Tianming, Luo Ke Ona, and others were also being courted. Only a few, like Lu Yin and Gulbahk, were left alone, especially Lu Yin, who had offended too many people and was only at the Exploration Realm. There were very few Exploration Realm students from the Great Universe Empire participating in the assessment, so no one paid attention to him.
