Star Odyssey

Chapter 1252: The Friendship Of The Ten Academies

Someone from among the people watching exclaimed, “Ku Lei? Is he from the Court of Seven Names?

“Aren’t they one of the Three Dark Hands? Why would he dare show up here? Won’t the Hall of Honor come after him?”

“I heard that the people from the Seven Courts can freely travel about the Neoverse and aren’t suppressed by the Hall of Honor.”

“So he’s one of the Seven Courts’ inheritors? Lu Yin’s in big trouble this time! He’s really offended too many people.”

…

Little Mountain God said, “I’m quite interested in meeting Lu Yin. He’s just a Hunter, yet he actually dares to threaten the Innerverse.”

Ku Lei glanced over at Little Mountain God, and was shocked at the person’s appearance, though he remained silent. Instead, Ku Lei turned to face An Shaohua and shouted, “Did you hear me? Answer me!”

Lightning exploded across the sky after he finished speaking.

Ye Gui’s eye twitched.

Ku Lei had revealed his strength as an elite from the Neoverse, and everyone felt threatened and no one dared to speak up.

Suddenly, Ku Lei’s expression changed and his lightning dispersed. He stared off into the distance as Lan Si suddenly appeared in the sky.

An Shaohua and the others heaved a sigh of relief as soon as they saw Lan Si.

Everybody else was shocked, as they had not expected the Divine Fist to appear.

Little Mountain God turned towards Lan Si; this guy was an Arbiter? After being in cryostasis for a thousand years, Little Mountain God had been eagerly anticipating challenging an Arbiter.

Lan Si descended and stared at Ku Lei. “How dare you threaten Lu Yin’s followers when he’s not here? Did you already forget how he thrashed you in the Neoverse?”

Ku Lei glared at the Arbiter. “Lan Si, this is none of your business! Leave!”

“I can keep you company if you’re looking for a fight. When Lu Yin shows up, you won’t even have the opportunity to kneel and beg,” Lan Si calmly replied.

The crowd all turned to look at Ku Lei with great curiosity. They had thought that this person was a peak powerhouse, and none of them had realized that he had already been defeated by Lu Yin.

Ku Lei snorted. “There’s no meaning in fighting you; you’re the weakest of the Ten Arbiters, which is why Lu Yin chose to fight you. I can’t believe you’re helping him.”

He then transformed into lightning and disappeared.

Little Mountain God turned to Lan Si. “See you at the competition! I’ll help you accomplish what you Ten Arbiters aren’t able to achieve.”

With that, he flew away.

Lan Si’s gaze fell onto Avery, and Avery left without a single word.

Everyone left behind was shocked. Even though Lan Si had lost to Lu Yin and had not shown any astonishing achievements in the Mountain and Seas Zone, he was still an Arbiter. Nobody would be confident of defeating such a person with the exception of other Arbiters. Lan Si was not weak, he had simply met extraordinarily powerful opponents.

Wu Da put away his gadget, his eyes shining with excitement; he would definitely get some good so long as he kept following these people. The Great Eastern Alliance and Lu Yin had many more enemies still, so there would definitely be newsworthy events wherever these people went.

Yun Yun had the same thought, and she had even come up with a title for the incident she had just witnessed.

This incident had occurred on a planet on one side of Zenith Mountain. On the opposite side of Zenith Mountain, there was a landmass with a beautiful landscape that was even larger than an entire planet.

At this moment, Xia Luo fell from the sky onto a corner of the landmass. He looked back and immediately dodged. A blade flashed through where he had just been, splitting the sky as it passed. Xia Jiuyou calmly walked out.

“Xia Luo, you can’t escape. We are the same person, so why are you opposing me?” Xia Jiuyou bellowed. He glared over at Xia Luo and raised his blade.

Xia Luo smiled bitterly. “I have my own personality, and besides, who would want to be fused with you?”

“You don’t have a choice. Once I fuse with you I will reach my peak and will be able to enter the top ten. I’ll even be able to challenge Shang Qing, as Nine Clones Secret Technique is definitely capable of overpowering his Tri-Yang Technique; don’t you want that to happen?” Xia Jiuyou asked as he slashed his blade at Xia Luo.

As the blade approached, Xia Luo raised a hand and used a finger to gently redirect the blade. However, he was still thrown back by tremendous force, and half of his body went numb.

Xia Jiuyou walked closer to Xia Luo and commented, “I never expected you to reach this stage. If I hadn’t fused with a few clones in the Mountain and Seas Zone, I might not be able to defeat you in a one on one. Of my nine clones, you are the most powerful aside from me. As long as you cooperate and join with me, we will be able to reach new heights.”

Xia Luo shook his head. “I’ll die during the fusion. Xia Jiuyou, a technique can’t make you invincible. You have too much faith in the Nine Clones Secret Technique.”

“So what?” Xia Jiuyou raised his blade once again. He felt incredibly anxious as he was feeling overwhelmed by the elites who had registered for ZENITH. Even with Nine Clones Technique, he had still only placed fifth in the list of predicted ten finalists. There were simply too many powerhouses present, especially Lu Yin. Although Lu Yin was only ranked thirteenth on the prediction list, Xia Jiuyou had interacted with Lu Yin before in Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum, and he felt that Lu Yin was very mysterious and that nobody was entirely certain just how powerful Lu Yin had truly become. On top of that, Xia Jiuyou believed the Hall of Honor had chosen Lu Yin to be a gatekeeper for a reason.

Since they had selected Lu Yin, he was guaranteed to be one of the most powerful people in ZENITH.

Thus, Xia Jiuyou was feeling extremely nervous about ZENITH, and he felt that he had to fuse with Xia Luo to raise his strength.

Xia Luo had no place to go, so he could only attempt to fly into the sky. However, Xia Jiuyou intercepted the escape with a blade, simultaneously destroying a spacecraft full of people from Windrift Hall, including Coco and Zora.

Although there were Hunters inside the vessel, none of them were able to stand up to Xia Jiuyou’s attack.

The attack left Coco, Zora, and a few other Windrift Hall disciples falling from the sky.

Xia Jiuyou was completely unconcerned about the people from Windrift Hall, and he continued to attack Xia Luo. Xia Luo’s eyes narrowed and his hands quickly flitted about, and he managed to use his lockbreaking technique to dissolve Xia Jiuyou’s attack.

The fact that Xia Luo was able to handle Xia Jiuyou’s attack by using lockbreaking skills proved that his control of star energy had reached the Wordliness realm.

Xia Jiuyou was stunned, and he raised his blade once more to continue viciously attacking Xia Luo.

Xia Luo was not the only one within range of these attacks, as all of the people from Windrift Hall were also within range.

Coco screamed.

Xia Luo whirled around and saw Coco. He was shocked and he immediately diverted the attack that was about to strike Coco. However, since one side of his body had already gone numb, he was unable to completely dodge, and blood flowed down from his arm. He collapsed to the ground along with Coco.

Zora had been a bit luckier and was not injured by the attack.

Of the dozens of people from Windrift Hall, nearly half of them had died from the attack.

“Xia- Xia Luo?” Coco stared at her savior in shock, as she couldn’t believe such a coincidence.

Xia Luo’s face was pale and he quickly let her go. “Sorry for getting you caught up in this.”

Zora landed and instantly rushed for Coco. She also saw Xia Luo and exclaimed in surprise, “Xia Luo? Why are you here?”

Xia Luo got up slowly, blood raining from his arm and staining the ground red. He had no time to chat with the two girls, and he turned to face Xia Jiuyou.

An elder from among the survivors from Windrift Hall shouted at Xia Jiuyou, “Who are you? We are from Windrift Hall and will not forgive such actions!”

Xia Jiuyou arrogantly ignored the elder and continued his attack on Xia Luo.

Xia Luo shoved Coco and Zora away. “Hurry up and run!”

At this moment, a girl rushed at Xia Jiuyou and tried to punch him. He simply frowned and gently shook his sword. His star energy spread out and took the form of blades that scattered in all directions. The girl’s attack was not able to overcome the blades and her arms were injured and her clothes shredded by the blades. Xia Jiuyou launched another attack and tried to attack Xia Luo yet again.

Suddenly, his blade changed direction and slashed at the sky. A woman appeared in front of his attack and stomped a foot downwards. A massive force created visible shockwaves that clashed with Xia Jiuyou’s sword.

The sky shattered with a bang, and the entire landmass trembled, causing countless creatures to flee.

A crack appeared on the ground.

Everyone turned in awe.

Xia Jiuyou grew solemn as he looked up at the sky. “This is an internal matter of my Xia family, and it’s none of your business, Yuhua Mavis.”

The woman in the sky was Yuhua Mavis, while the girl who had attacked Xia Jiuyou was Lulu Mavis.

Lulu Mavis was not able to get anywhere near Xia Jiuyou. If not for Yuhua Mavis, Lulu would have been in grave danger.

Yuhua Mavis coldly replied, “I have no plans of interfering with your family’s issues. I just wanted to save Lulu.”

Xia Jiuyou turned around to stare at Lulu Mavis.

Lulu Mavis was panting heavily. Her arms were all scratched up, but she still glared at Xia Jiuyou. “He’s my classmate.”

Xia Jiuyou frowned. “The Mavis family shouldn’t get involved in my Xia family’s problems.”

Lulu was stubborn, and she shot towards Xia Luo. Xia Luo had never expected to be saved by friends from Astral-10.

Astral-10 had just been a passing phase for him, and he had not particularly cared about the people there with the exceptions of Lu Yin and Silver. Thus, he had not expected his former schoolmates to move to save him.

Coco kept a wary eye on Xia Jiuyou while holding an enormous syringe in her arms and gritted her teeth. She had grown much braver from the time she had entered Astral-10.

Zora stood next to Coco and nervously watched everything. She had finally recognized Xia Jiuyou, and knew that he was a powerhouse from the Neoverse and an heir from the Seven Courts. He was ranked fifth on the list predicting the top ten finalists of ZENITH, and he was known far and wide as someone guaranteed to be on of the top ten. She had never expected to meet someone like him as soon as they arrived at Zenith Mountain.

This was not somebody they could defeat.

Even the entire Windrift Hall was meaningless to the Xia family, as the Windrift Hall could be destroyed at whim.

Xia Jiuyou didn’t care about Lulu and the rest and was only concerned about Yuhua Mavis.

He looked up at her. “I won’t harm anyone from your Mavis clan, so you shouldn’t interfere in my Xia family’s problems.”

Yuhua Mavis replied, “Sure.”

Lulu Mavis immediately began begging, “Sister Yuhua, they’re my classmates from Astral-10 and are like my siblings. I can’t ignore their situation! Please save them.”

Xia Jiuyou’s eyes flashed. “I want to take Xia Luo with me.”

Lulu Mavis cried out, “Sister Yuhua, please help them! Please!”

Xia Jiuyou used a battle technique, Yōu Reinforced Palm, showing how serious he was about the matter.

He directed this attack at Xia Luo, but it was blocked by a green fist. Yuhua Mavis stood in front of Xia Jiuyou and said, “I won’t interfere with the Xia family’s problems, but as long as Lulu is with him, you won’t attack him.”

Xia Jiuyou glared at her. “Yuhua Mavis, this is my family’s issue. Are you trying to stir up chaos in the Neoverse?”

Yuhua Mavis answered in a cold voice, “The Mavis family is not scared of any trouble.”
