“That’s not what it sounds like,” Yuhua Mavis replied, “If we haven’t returned yet, then I’m going to go train.”
Lu Yin felt somewhat torn. He had actually approached Yuhua Mavis with an ulterior motive, which was to take out a loan. She was still a member of the Mavis family, so she should naturally be quite wealthy. However, she seemed quite upset and offended due to his actions just now.
Lu Yin let out an awkward cough. “Then I’ll stop by to see you next time.”
Yuhua Mavis turned away from Lu Yin, not even wanting to look at him. If she was honest, their brief spar had been quite a blow to her confidence.
After Lu Yin left, Unseen Light appeared. “That really is a massive gap. Now, even if he doesn’t use that transformation, he could still beat any of the Junior Progenitors.”
Yuhua Mavis casually replied, “Just don’t include him in any comparisons.”
Unseen Light felt that that was only natural. He was rather shocked at Lu Yin’s newfound strength.
Lu Yin put Zenith Mountain away and brought out his Champions’ Stage. His second innate gift was something that he rarely used, as he could not use it in front of others, especially in the Perennial World.
Bai Shaohong had instantly confirmed Lu Yin’s identity the moment he had seen the Champions’ Stage. That had made Lu Yin quite confident that this innate gift was the symbol of the Lu family. If he revealed the stage, he would shock the entire universe.
“With my name, I summon a Champion,” Lu Yin whispered. His star energy was sucked out of his body, and Bai Shaohong appeared in front of Lu Yin. The Junior Progenitor quietly stood there, looking exactly the same as he had before his death. However, he possessed no intelligence, and his body was formed from Lu Yin’s star energy. Still, the Champion possessed the same strength as the deceased Junior Progenitor.
“Go!” Lu Yin ordered. Bai Shaohong’s head snapped up, and he pointed a finger: Celestial Being Shows the Way. Lu Yin also raised a hand, and he flicked a finger. The wind from Lu Yin’s finger shattered Bai Shaohong’s attack, and in response, the Champion pressed a hand down. Clouds appeared in the sky and fell towards the ground. Secret Technique: Cloud Fall.
Lu Yin’s star energy reserves plummeted when the secret technique was used. After all, every attack that Bai Shaohong used was powered by Lu Yin’s own star energy.
The Cloud Fall Secret Technique froze Lu Yin, and the phantom image of the celestial pond appeared behind Bai Shaohong.
The Champion attacked with another finger attack, but this one was completely different from the previous one. Lu Yin watched as the water level in the phantom pond dropped at a noticeable rate.
As that occurred, Lu Yin’s star energy dropped.
Facing a Celestial Being Shows the Way that was reinforced with Bai Shaohong’s visualization method, Lu Yin lifted a hand and retaliated with a Vacuum Palm.
There was a snort as Bai Shaohong’s finger shattered. The damage spread to his arm, and it eventually spread across half of his body. Even if Lu Yin had been against the original Junior Progenitor, this attack would have been enough to seriously injure Bai Shaohong.
In this instance, Bai Shaohong looked up and stared at Lu Yin. Lu Yin suddenly saw Ming Yan looking at him with sad eyes. Lu Yin’s heart skipped a beat, and Bai Shaohong took that moment to unleash a Void Rip.
A black line swept forward. Lu Yin recited the Stonewall Scriptures to break free of Bai Shaohong’s innate gift, and he threw out another attack, still using the Vacuum Palm.
During their previous confrontation, Lu Yin’s Vacuum Palm had not been powerful enough to overwhelm Bai Shaohong’s Void Rip, but at this moment, Lu Yin’s attack twisted the Void Rip before finally tearing it apart. The shockwave proceeded forward and destroyed what was left of Bai Shaohong’s body.
Complete suppression. That was Lu Yin’s new evaluation of himself against a Junior Progenitor. Even though Lu Yin had only faced a Bai Shaohong who had been summoned by the Champions’ Stage that had no intelligence, there was still a very noticeable gap in strength. Lu Yin believed that he would be able to completely suppress the Junior Progenitor now.
This was Lu Yin’s new level of strength.
The summoned Champion and the battle had consumed almost a tenth of Lu Yin’s star energy reserves.
He did some math. If a full powered Bai Shaohong that used his innate gift, secret techniques, battle techniques, and all his other abilities only drained about a tenth of Lu Yin’s resources, then Lu Yin could simultaneously summon the Giant Emperor and even more.
Also, this was only taking into account Lu Yin’s current star energy reserves. As they increased, he would be able to summon more and more Champions.
It had to be acknowledged that Bai Shaohong had not been an ordinary cultivator. He had actually been second only to Lu Yin within their generation. While Lu Yin did not know how much star energy it would take to summon an Envoy, he had his suspicions. Thus, he felt that he should find an Envoy to be his next Champion.
