He hadn't taken Xia Luo seriously, but after exchanging blows, he realized how terrifying he was. Xia Luo's control over star energy was simply too strong. Every one of his attacks was neutralized—or, more accurately, deciphered. Any attack based on star energy was useless against Xia Luo. Yet Xia Luo hadn't used a battle technique; his attacks were casual, as if he could strike however he pleased.
Tai Yuanjun was frustrated. Star energy transformed into a flute, and he played Bie Jun Song, Sending You to the Ninth Heaven.
The music from the long flute spread in ripples before Xia Luo, never even reaching him.
Tai Yuanjun was astonished. This man was also at the Cruising Realm, and seemed to have only just broken through, yet he could block Tai Yuanjun's attacks.
Xia Luo calmly looked at Tai Yuanjun. "Second on the Top 100 Battle Ranking—you live up to your reputation."
Tai Yuanjun stared at Xia Luo. "Who are you?"
Xia Luo smiled. "I'm studying at Starry Sky Academy. I'm Lu Yin's classmate."
Tai Yuanjun was surprised. "You're from the Inner Universe?"
Xia Luo smiled faintly. "Not exactly."
Tai Yuanjun spun the long flute once in his hand, then pushed off lightly and charged at Xia Luo. "Wherever you're from, get out of my way!"
Xia Luo stepped aside. His gaze passed over Tai Yuanjun and settled on the sea in the distance, where a slender figure was slowly approaching. She wore a strange mask, half red and half white. It was Lei Nü.
Lei Nü's arrival made everyone stop fighting.
Although Lei Nü was only the Glory Hall's Second Law Child, her battle record was nearly as impressive as Shang Qing's. In particular, before the Star Tower competition, she had fought the Ten Arbiters' Liu Tianmu. Rumor had it
