Star Odyssey

e. 

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the crowd and blocked the path in front of Xi Yue.
In the next moment, the two Explorers fell to the ground, and their bodies trembled intensely.
They had evidently suffered a great attack. 

Xi Yue stared dumbfoundedly at the man who had suddenly appeared.
“Lu Yin?”

Lu Yin turned around and looked at her.
“Long time no see, washboard.”

The Souldream Tribe crowd had strange expressions. Washboard?

Xi Yue’s face flushed red.
“You bastard! You’re the washboard, you thug!”

Lu Yin shrugged.
“I’m not a thug, but he is-” He pointed towards Kayze.

Kayze’s expression changed, and he was just about to escape, but three Que ’s Mighty Slashes streaked past him.
Two landed on nothing while the last hit his arm.
However, Kayze didn’t stop moving, as he forcefully endured the pain and escaped. 

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed, and he vanished only to reappear in front of Kayze the next instant.
“I heard that you ’re covered in some layer that’s made up of a bunch of star essence.”

While making his way over, Lu Yin had suddenly had this thought.
Truth be told, his objective in rescuing Xi Yue was not entirely pure.
He seemed to see a countless amount of money headed his way in the future, and he would not let go of a single bit of it.
It should be known that, after rolling his die at the Sea King’s Dome, he only had about 120 star essence and 80,000 star crystals left.
That was far too little for him, and it made him unwilling to risk rolling his die any more.
After all, rolling the die was the best method to improve his power. 

Kayze’s face turned deathly white when he heard Lu Yin’s words.
“What do you want?”

Lu Yin’s lips curled up, and he grabbed Kayze.

Kayze gritted his teeth and was about to display his Berserk Inferno again in an attempt to throw off Lu Yin.

However, when he encountered a way to get money, Lu Yin’s power was abnormally strong.
Five-lined battle force instantly covered his body as one of his palms shot through the black inferno formed from soundwaves.
He firmly grabbed Kayze by his hair and then smashed him into the ground.
There was a loud thump, and the ground in the entire area quivered as a giant fissure extended through the earth.

Everyone blankly stared on, as Kayze, a Dire Barbarian Clan powerhouse, was being brutally beaten by Lu Yin.
It looked like he was swinging a wooden club .

Against Lu Yin, whose physical body had reached the pinnacle, those even a little weaker than him would meet a very tragic outcome.
Kayze was in such a position now, and even if his true power was impressive, he was finished the moment that Lu Yin grabbed a hold of him.

Ling Que watched Kayze’s tragic situation, and his eyelids twitched.
He didn’t hesitate for even a moment to flee from the scene. 

The other two Explorers’ faces paled.
They endured their pain, and they wanted to escape as well, but they were suppressed by Lu Yin’s Spacerender Palm and forced to remain flat on the ground. 

The Souldream Tribe stared at Lu Yin in shock and adoration, as he was truly too powerful. 

Xi Yue’s gaze had become complex, as the disparity between when they first met and now was like the chasm between heaven and earth.
Before, during the Astral Combat Tournament, she had previously even been determined to catch up to Lu Yin, but there was no such motivation now.
An abnormality like this person was something that she could never catch up to. 

Above the planet, Lei Long snarled furiously.
He wanted nothing more than to charge down to the planet and slaughter Lu Yin. 

The other powers also had ugly expressions, as there seemed to be no solution to this kid.
Even if they sent down Explorers, there weren’t many Explorers who could defeat this youth.
He had created too much trouble for them all. 

Elder Ren and Hai Dashao stood tall above the planet, and the old man looked at Lu Yin with appreciation in his eyes.
“This little brat’s not bad.
In all my years, he ranks within the top few of all the youths I’ve ever seen.” 

Hai Dashao did not deny such praise, as Lu Yin’s performance was indeed impressive. 

Lu Yin stepped upon Kayze and looked all around.
He then looked at Xi Yue.
“Is there a spacecraft nearby?” 

Xi Yue shook her head.

Lu Yin extended his domain out further and further until he finally managed to find a hidden spacecraft beneath the dirt to the southwest. 

It was only at times like this that the value of a collapsible spacecraft was properly appreciated.
If Xi Yue owned such a vessel, then she would have escaped long ago, especially since such a spacecraft could ascend into outer space extremely quickly and was fast enough that Kayze would not be able to react in time.
Since killing was not allowed above the planet, she would have been safe the moment she left the planet.
In other words, she would have been safe so long as she owned a collapsible spacecraft, but unfortunately, she did not. 

It was logical for a collapsible spacecraft to be sold at such extravagant prices.

Right, where’s Ling Que? Lu Yin suddenly recalled that Ling Que had been around earlier.

He looked around for Ling Que, but the other man had disappeared, as he had escaped at high speeds.
Lu Yin couldn’t be bothered with Ling Que’s absence, so he simply grabbed Kayze, took him to the spacecraft, and stuffed him inside.
He thought about things for a moment and then went back to capture the other two Explorers.
He ordered one of them to peel off the star essence skin on the other two. 

Kayze had awakened by this time, and he was stunned when he heard these words.

Lu Yin had an imposing look.
“What? Is there a problem?”

Kayze was furious.
“Lu Yin, don’t go too far when bullying others!”

Lu Yin glared at him coldly.
“If you don’t have these star essence, then it won’t be too easy for your Dire Barbarian Clan or the Blaze Realm and the Ross Empire to send more people down.
I’m saving myself a bunch of trouble.”

“Think this through! If you go through with this, then the next Explorers who will show up will be stronger than me—none of the forces are willing to waste their star essence, so they’ll start sending their strongest people.
Can you really handle that?” Kayze bellowed in rage.

Lu Yin sighed, as his words were actually true.
As soon as these three star essence skins were peeled off, then the Dire Barbarian Clan would suffer heavy losses.
They would then save up their star essence for the most reliable person they could send.
Naturally, they would send a powerhouse, and it would be someone who wasn’t the slightest bit weaker than Kayze. 

It had to be said that Kayze’s words had struck the bottom of Lu Yin’s heart, but there was one other thing: his hidden trumps had not been revealed .

He was thinking about his Fatesand, and especially about the fact that he had not removed the grain of Fatesand in his right leg yet.
The various forces observing him still didn’t know his true strength.

“Peel them off!” Lu Yin barked decisively.
