Star Odyssey

Chapter 2514: Praised To The Heavens

"Brother-in-law, all of these people are the heirs of various noble families from the Transcendent Universe. You’ll reap tremendous benefits in the future if you can strike up good relationships with them now." Luo Lao'er offered a bit of advice.

Lu Yin indifferently responded, "Then help me build good relationships with them."

Luo Lao'er sighed. "If I only had half of your talent, Brother-in-law, I’d already be their sworn brother.”

"Oh, that guy’s an older student from the Voidforce School. Why’s he here?"

Lu Yin turned and saw a young man smiling as he approached them. He was someone else who had joined the Voidforce School along Xie Wu's batch, which meant that he was also one of the first students to study in the Sixverse Academy. "Brother Xuan Qi, have you finished cultivating for the day? I hope that I'm not disturbing you."

Lu Yin asked, "Which universe are you from?"

The man had not expected “Xuan Qi” to question him. "I'm from the Main Universe."

Lu Yin nodded and stopped asking any questions. While he was curious about the Main Universe, it would be pointless to expect any useful answers from such a person.

The young man immediately noticed that Lu Yin had lost interest, so he quickly continued. "Brother Xuan Qi, you've created a legend. The entire Sixverse Academy is in an uproar. Your talent is without equal when it comes to cultivating voidforce energy.”

"Before you arrived, the most talented person to visit the Voidforce School was Shao Qingfeng, but even he can't compare to you. What you’ve done has even attracted the attention of a senior from the Voidforce Universe. You might have already gained Lord Xu's notice…"

The young man continued to incessantly sing Lu Yin’s praises, and things even reached the point where Lu Yin and Luo Lao'er started to find the man's behavior suspicious, though they could not figure out his intentions.

"I can tell that Brother Xuan Qi not only possesses talent for cultivating False God energy, but will also excel when you step onto the cultivation paths of the other universes’ civilizations as well. It’s possible for you to master the powers of the Arboreal Realm, the Lost Clan, the Three Monarchs Universe, and possibly even the Immortal-level powers that the Cyclic Universe controls. We…" The man continued in the same manner for a good half hour, and not once did he repeat even a single sentence.

Lu Yin was thoroughly impressed. "What’s your name?"

The man did not answer. While he was staring at Lu Yin's face, his mind was somewhere else entirely. It was as though the man was not even looking at Lu Yin, but rather reciting a memorized script.

Luo Lao'er blinked. Were there actually people who recited boot-licking monologues? How long had the man taken to memorize this whole speech? This was a talent in and of itself!

Lu Yin tapped the man on the shoulder, finally rousing himself from his reverie. "Brother Xuan Qi, what's wrong?"

Lu Yin chuckled. "Are you saying that I'm just as talented in cultivating the powers of other universes?"

The question infused the man with newfound vigor. "Of course! There’s no way that Brother Xuan Qi's extraordinary talent is limited to just voidforce energy."

"So, which school do you think I should visit next to continue my studies?"

The man's eyes flickered. "Any one of them, aside from the Transcendent Universe. Brother Xuan Qi, you should try them all."

Lu Yin exchanged glances with Luo Lao'er. "Alright, I understand."

The man eventually left, but before long, a beautiful woman with an enchanting smile arrived. Just like the young man, the woman also started showering Lu Yin with compliments.

"Which universe are you from?" Lu Yin asked curiously.

Her lips curved into a captivating smile. "I’m from the Three Monarchs Universe."

"Do you know me?" Luo Lao'er shoved his face in front of the woman.

She looked disgusted. "My sister knows you."

"Who’s your sister?"

"She's dead."

"That’s a terrible omen."

The woman clenched her jaw and proceeded to simply ignore Luo Lao'er. She turned her full attention back to Lu Yin and resumed her shameless flattery.

After the woman left, Xiao Fei randomly appeared, and then she offered Lu Yin an overly sincere apology. She was then followed by Xie Wu. Every single person who visited did exactly the same thing: praise Lu Yin’s unprecedented talent.

After everyone had finally left, Luo Lao'er looked completely bewildered. "What are these guys up to?"

Lu Yin chuckled. The intentions were too simple; they wanted to inflate his ego and have him grow arrogant before he left the Voidforce School. Once that happened, other people would be able to find an opportunity to deal with him.

They were employing truly childish tactics.

lightsnοvεl However, the people in the Sixverse Academy were all much younger than Lu Yin, and most of them were around the age that he had been when attending the Astral Combat Academy. At that time, the means he had used to fight back against the students from the Daynight clan had been equally “clever.”

Lu Yin shook his head, uninterested in playing such petty games. He instead focused on cultivating.

Far away, Xie Wu and the others gathered.

"Do you think that he fell for it?" Xie Wu asked.

"He must have! We praised him to death. I’ve never flattered anyone like that in my entire life!"

"It’s called brownnosing."

"Shut up! Didn’t you do the same thing?"𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝘰𝓋𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂

"So why didn’t he show any reaction?"

Xie Wu felt the same way. "We'll keep going again tomorrow. This time, we'll throw in a bit about the Central School as well. Let's see if he can resist that temptation."

"Exactly! If he’s here in the Sixverse Academy, how can he possibly resist the temptation to join the Central School?"

"No matter what, that Luo Lao'er needs to be taught a lesson! He's disgusting!"

Suddenly, a voice cut through the crowd’s chatter, "What’s this about the Central School?"

Everyone fell completely silent, and they all turned to face a woman who was looking at the crowd with open curiosity.

She was a stunning beauty, and she was wearing a tight purple dress. Her hair was pulled into long braids. She gave the impression of being skillful, though there was also a hint of mischief in her lively and playful eyes.

"Xu Yue?" the crowd exclaimed.

This was the same woman who had tried to seize control of Lu Yin with voidforce energy in order to pass a trial.lightsnovel

"It appears that you are discussing something secretive." Xu Yue rubbed her chin.

Everyone felt their faces blush with embarrassment.

Xiao Fei stepped forward and offered a tight smile. "Sister Xu Yue, why have you come here? Aren't you supposed to be in the Central School?"

Xu Yue clasped her hands behind her back as she slowly circled the crowd, carefully appraising each and every person present.

The students exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond.

Xie Wu spoke up, "Xu Yue, why are you here?"

Xu Yue looked at Xie Wu, "Little Wu, are you plotting another shady scheme of some sort?"

Xie Wu's expression turned ugly. "Don't spout such nonsense, Xu Yue."

"Hmph. He Shu may give an initial impression of an upright person, but unfortunately, he has you, his treacherous strategist, offering him rotten ideas. You're always plotting against people. My brother’s already said that he’ll deal with you sooner or later," Xu Yue commented in a threatening manner.

Xie Wu's expression grew even worse, and he let out a few coughs. "Don't share baseless accusations without any evidence."

Xu Yue rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'm leaving."

The crowd watched as Xu Yue left. "It looks like she's going to the Void Ground."

"Why would Xu Yue come to visit the Voidforce School? She doesn't need to learn anything more from the Voidforce Universe," someone wondered aloud.

Xie Wu's eyes flashed. "Let's follow her."

After leaving the crowd of students, Xu Yue soon arrived at the Void Ground, where she immediately spotted Lu Yin. Her eyes narrowed. She had finally found him. Well, well, so the boy really is here in the Voidforce School.

She picked up her feet and moved closer.

However, when Xu Yue had only covered half of the distance, Xiao Fei caught up. "Sister Xu Yue, you can't just barge in like that."

Xu Yue arched a brow. "This is the Void Ground, so why can’t I? Are you guys trying to claim this territory as your own?"

Xiao Fei was speechless. What was this woman going on about?

"Xu Xiangyin has given a warning to everyone who’s passed the threshold to cultivating voidforce energy. None of them are allowed to enter the Void Ground for now," Xiao Fei explained.

Xu Yue grew puzzled. "Why not? It's not like this is some sort of special place."

Xiao Fei pointed at Lu Yin before sharing everything that had recently happened.

Far away, Xie Wu watched the two women. He was certain that Xu Yue had been about to approach Xuan Qi, which meant that she had to have already heard about what Xuan Qi had pulled off.

Things were getting interesting.

Before Xuan Qi, the person who had demonstrated the greatest talent for cultivating voidforce energy had been Xu Yue's older brother, Xu Ji. The most reasonable explanation for Xu Yue to seek out Xuan Qi was that she intended to create trouble for him.

As far as Xie Wu was concerned, having Xiao Fei stir up a bit of trouble could only be a good thing.

However, the assumption was completely wrong, as Xu Yue had not heard anything about what “Xuan Qi” had accomplished. She had only just returned from her trial to reach the central peak.

"What? During his first time making contact with voidforce energy, he lasted for more than an hour?" Xu Yue was absolutely shocked.

Xiao Fei found this reaction to be rather strange. "Sister Xu Yue, you didn't know about this?"

Xu Yue stared at Lu Yin with a completely different expression from before. He had endured for more than an hour? Her brother, Xu Ji, was widely acknowledged as one of the most talented individuals in the entire history of the Voidforce Universe, but how had someone from another universe actually managed to rival her brother? Impossible!

"Word of this has already spread throughout the entire Sixverse Academy, so how did you not know about this, Sister Xu Yue? Right now, Xuan Qi's nose has risen so high into the air that he doesn't even acknowledge us when we try to talk to him," Xiao Fei whispered.

Xu Yue stared intently at Lu Yin for a moment. No wonder, no wonder he was able to break free from my control with voidforce energy.

It was clear that “Xuan Qi” had never cultivated voidforce energy, which was precisely why Xu Yue had been so confused as to how he had managed to break free from her control. The truth was that he was a genius comparable to Xu Ji when it came to cultivating voidforce energy.

"Has Senior Xu Xiangyin seen him yet?" Xu Yue asked.

Xiao Fei replied, "He did, and he warned us not to disturb Xuan Qi's cultivation. He said- he said…"

Xu Yue felt confused. "What did he say?"

Xiao Fei hesitantly answered, "He said that Xuan Qi is the most talented cultivator that the Voidforce Universe has ever seen."

Xu Yue frowned. The most talented? While that might initially appear to be true, simply possessing talent was no guarantee that a person would become a successful cultivator. Xu Yue refused to believe that “Xuan Qi” would be able to surpass her brother, Xu Ji.

Xu Yue had intended to speak to Lu Yin, but she stopped herself. She considered things for a moment before she simply turned around and left.

"Ah! Sister Xu Yue, you're not going over?" Xiao Fei felt puzzled.

Xu Yue left quickly without saying a word.

Xie Wu felt frustrated by how things had played out. "What's going on? Why did she leave?"

Xiao Fei replied, "I don't know. I did just as you said."

Xie Wu frowned. He had been hoping to see Xu Ji make some trouble for Xuan Qi. Xu Ji was regarded as the heir to the entire Voidforce Universe, which meant that his status would make it easy for him to give Xuan Qi a hard time. Unexpectedly, Xu Yue had left without doing anything.

Xie Wu considered what Xu Yue had said. Was Xu Ji going to arrive next to make trouble for the upstart? No, Xu Ji could not lower himself to such a task.

At the same time, in the Cyclic School, Zuo Yu and several others had succeeded in entering the school and had even found Shi Hong.

Shi Hong was one of the top students in the Cyclic School who had come from the Transcendent Universe, and she had also maintained a good relationship with many other people in the school. She expertly showed Zuo Yu around the Cyclic School.

"Xiao Yu, everyone in the Cyclic School can be regarded as a half member of a single sect. Your senior brothers and sisters can provide you with guidance and assistance. You should thank your seniors in advance for their help." Birds flew past a waterfall. A lovely fragrance filled the air of the school. At the bottom of the waterfall, Shi Hong was giving the new students from the Transcendent Universe an introduction to the previous class.

Zuo Yu understood that this opportunity to network with these people would have a huge impact on her future. She quickly bowed. "Junior Sister Zuo Yu greets her senior brothers and sisters."

With Shi Hong leading the way, Zuo Yu and the others did not experience any of the same issues that Lu Yin and the others who had gone to the Voidforce School had experienced on their first day in the school. The newcomers to the Cyclic School quickly got to know the other students, and the general atmosphere was very amicable.
