Lu Yin looked at Black, and then back at the girl in the white dress who was standing off in the distance. He asked in a strange voice, “Would your name be White by any chance?”

The girl in the white dress was stumped. “You know me?”

Lu Yin was left speechless; her name really was White.

Black and White, each wearing clothes with their namesake’s color, were easy to differentiate.

“Alright, that’s enough nonsense. Let’s keep moving. Take me to see Master,” Lu Yin said.

Black snorted and turned around, ignoring him.

White also snorted before ignoring him.

Lu Yin’’s lips curled up. “Actually, what I just said was true.”

Black and White turned around to look at Lu Yin, fear glimmering in the depths of their eyes.

“There really are no such things as ghosts.” Lu Yin laughed.

The two girls became so angry that they started grinding their teeth again.

“Black, hit him!” White was furious.

Black stood up and fixed a cold stare onto Lu Yin. She then suddenly vanished, as did White.

Lu Yin was astonished, as these two had an amazing level of speed. They were moving so quickly that even he could not clearly see them. Runes flashed in front of him, moving no slower than a Vacuum Palm.

During Lu Yin’s fight against Lan Si, Lu Yin had been forced to try out all sorts of tactics to dodge Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm. However, he had changed since then, and both his speed and his strength had reached new heights. Against Black and White’s current speed, Lu Yin simply thrust a casual palm strike from below, and a Vacuum Palm caused the void to tremble. Black and White were just about to strike Lu Yin, but they were both forced back by his sudden palm attack, and they no longer dared to approach him.

Lu Yin was amused. “Your speed is something rarely seen, and honestly, I’ve never met anyone in the same generation faster than the two of you. However, unfortunately for you two, you can’t hit me.”

Black and White were completely infuriated by him, and they exchanged glances before each of them raised both of their hands. Four hands tightly clutched each other, and the twins’ star energy exploded in a black and white pattern that spun in a circle between the sisters. They then threw it at Lu Yin. “Black White Combo.”

Lu Yin stared intently at the rotating black-white energy pattern. This attack had actually caused a bit of fear to appear within him, as its rune lines were almost comparable to an attack from one of the Ten Arbiters. These two girls were clearly just Cruisers, but they were already able to unleash such a powerful attack when they cooperated.

In the Innerverse, not even Xia Tian, who was the leader of the Top 100 Rankings, could guarantee being fine after receiving this attack.

Lu Yin dodged to the side and carefully observed the round black-white pattern. A certain feeling was tugging at his mind, telling him that this attack was not as simple as it seemed.

The black and white circle spun through the sky, and an untold amount of star energy converged and melded into it, causing its rune lines to gradually increase in number.

Lu Yin was surprised. “It can grow stronger on its own?”

White was thrilled. “Don’t underestimate us! Our Black White Combo has unlimited strength. Big man, you’re doomed!”

This was the first time Lu Yin had ever been called a big man, and it felt rather fresh. He was quite curious about how strong this Black White Combo could become, as limitless strength was clearly impossible.

The Black White Combo sliced through the sky, and Lu Yin continuously evaded it. It continued to absorb star energy, and soon, its rune lines were comparable to when Lan Si had used One Hundred Fifty Stacks. However, this attack was not finished, and it continued to grow stronger.

Lu Yin became truly interested, though he continued to evade the attack.

The void soon warped, as the Black White Combo had surpassed the power of an Enlighter’s attack, but it was still strengthening itself. It eventually reached a power level of about 250,000.

Even though the void within the Neoverse was quite stable, it could still be torn apart. However, they were on Eversky Island, and an attack with a power level of 250,000 was still not enough to do so.

After some time, the Black White Combo managed to reach the power of Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm, which was the Arbiter’s first attack that had severely injured Lu Yin during their battle. Its power was overwhelming, and even the other Arbiters would likely struggle to deal with it.

Lu Yin looked at Black and White and found that the twins had gone a bit pale. “Are you guys unable to control it anymore?”

Black and White snorted, and they stubbornly maintained their Black White Combo.

Lu Yin shook his head, and in front of him, the circular pattern formed from the Black White Combo continued to slice towards him. He raised a hand that was shrouded with nine lined battle force as he faced the attack head on.

The void warped and trembled as a sharp gale swept through the surrounding area. Black and White were both forced to take several steps back before falling down onto the ground. Some distance away from them, the Black White Combo’s circular shape had actually been crushed apart by Lu Yin. He had changed since his battle with Lan Si, and he had rapidly improved.

Black and White exchanged glances and then simultaneously looked at Lu Yin. “Freak.”

Lu Yin’s lips curled up. “I haven’t even said a word about the two of you. It’s impressive for you two to be able to produce such a powerful attack at your ages, and your battle technique is very strong.”

White was pleased. “Of course! We’re the only ones who can use the Black White Combo, and others wouldn’t be able to learn it even if they devoted their entire lives to it.”

Black stood up and calmly said, “Don’t act arrogant, White. Did you forget about what Master said? We have to be humble.”

White nodded, but then she looked at Lu Yin with a pleased expression.

Lu Yin was amused at the girls. “We’ve fought and even scared each other. Is it finally time to take me to see Master?”

“Not taking you. Go by yourself.” White instantly put on a cold facade.

Black raised a hand and pointed at the highest mountain that stood in the distance. “Master lives at the base of that mountain. You can go by yourself.”

Lu Yin frowned. “Really?”

Black indifferently replied, “I don’t like liars.”

Lu Yin was left speechless; just who was the one who had lied about ghosts?

No matter if what Black had told him was true or not, he still had to go. After all, he was on Eversky Island. Also, he could continue to deal with these two girls, though he was certain that his every movement was being watched by Highsage Shenwei.

“I’ll head out first then. Later.” Lu Yin smiled and waved at the two girls before speeding off into the distance.

White started fuming. “That person is too despicable! He scared me half to death.”

Black felt helpless. “Who told you to get found out?”

White felt puzzled. “That shouldn’t have happened. Normally, nobody can notice me with my speed.”

Black replied, “He even crushed our Black White Combo, so what’s the use of our speed?”

“I wonder where Senior Shenwei found him. We’ve got to mess with him some more in the future.” White refused to accept the outcome, and a certain crafty light filled her eyes as she gave Black a sly look.

Black nodded, and she began to seriously consider how they could mess with Lu Yin.

Eversky Island was not very large, but that also depended on what it was being compared to. If a person could not fly or tear through the void, then Eversky Island would be considered very big.

It took Lu Yin half a day of traveling to arrive at the base of the highest mountain, and Highsage Shenwei had been waiting there for him for a while.

“Face the mountain and pay your respects to Master for allowing you to represent Eversky Island in the upcoming contest at the Astral Tower,” Highsage Shenwei solemnly told Lu Yin.

Lu Yin hurriedly offered his thanks, “Junior Lu Yin thanks Senior.”

Highsage Shenwei directed a stern look at Lu Yin. “Lu Yin, Master is offering you two choices: first, you can just become a nominal disciple of Eversky Island, which means that you will not be Master’s disciple, though that also means that you will be allowed to leave at any time. Your other choice is to truly join Eversky Island, which would mean that, from today forwards, my Master will become your Master, and you will be the fourth formal disciple of my Eversky Island. Choose.”

Lu Yin replied, “Junior already has a Master.”

Highsage Shenwei said, “This is why Master offered you this choice. Some people don’t care if you have multiple masters and will allow you to have many, but my Eversky Island is not like that. If you want to join my Eversky Island, then you must sever your relationship with your previous Master. Choose.”

Lu Yin did not hesitate, and he bowed deeply towards the mountain. “Junior Lu Yin is untalented, and though Master has shown Junior a great favor, Junior is incapable of forsaking his master.”

Highsage Shenwei’s eyes flashed. “Consider your choice carefully. I can tell you this clearly—Eversky Island’s Highsage Master is one of the top experts in the Fifth Mainland, and he is someone who stands at the true peak of the universe. He has lived for countless years, but he has only ever accepted three disciples. You are one of the few geniuses who has managed to catch his eye, so you only have one more opportunity to reconsider.”

Lu Yin bowed again. “Junior thanks the Highsage Master for his praise. However, I am unable to forget the grace that my current master has shown me, and thus, I am unable to part from him.”

Highsage Shenwei sighed. “I had thought that you were intelligent. What a pity, you’ve missed out on the greatest opportunity.”

Lu Yin also felt helpless, as he was aware that Eversky Island’s Highsage Master was definitely an extraordinary individual. However, Mister Mu had indeed been too generous to Lu Yin. Without Mister Mu, Lu Yin would have died multiple times. Even if Highsage Master was one of the peak powerhouses in the universe, or even a Progenitor, Lu Yin would not betray Mister Mu.

Besides, Mister Mu was not necessarily inferior to Highsage Master.

“Actually, before we arrived, I had never even considered that Master would favor you. After all, Master has not been concerned with recent affairs, and he normally has no thoughts of taking in any more disciples. Who could have expected that he would take a liking to you? And yet, you rejected him. What a pity.” Highsage Shenwei sighed with sorrow.

Lu Yin felt curious. “Black and White aren’t disciples?”

“They are just nominal disciples like you. Eversky Island actually has quite a few nominal disciples, as aside from Junior Leon, Master has not taken a liking to anyone else. Black and White are no different, and in the future, they will have to leave Eversky Island,” Highsage Shenwei explained.

Lu Yin nodded, but he did not speak any further. His goal was the contest at the Astral Tower, and being a nominal disciple of Eversky Island was sufficient to achieve that goal.

“Right, Senior-”

“You can just call me Senior Apprentice Brother. A nominal disciple is still a disciple,” Highsage Shenwei casually replied.

Lu Yin nodded. “Senior Shenwei, you mentioned before that Eversky Island has two other disciples who will participate in the contest at the Astral Tower, and I would like to meet them.”

When Lu Yin mentioned this, Highsage Shenwei’s expression suddenly grew strange, and he coughed awkwardly. “About that, you- haven’t you already met them?”

Lu Yin felt confused. “I’ve already met them?”

Hold on. His expression suddenly changed. “Black and White?”

Highsage Shenwei coughed again. “Wait here. Master is calling me for something.”

The older man instantly vanished.

Lu Yin was rendered speechless, as the two accompanying him really were Black and White. Now that everything had been revealed, Lu Yin suddenly understood Highsage Shenwei’s strange reaction when Lu Yin had asked this question aboard the spacecraft, as well as why the man had waited at this place for Lu Yin.

Black and White were clearly just adolescent girls, and they also did not know their place. Who knew what sort of trouble they would cause?! If he accompanied them for the contest at the Astral Tower, then he might as well just go off by himself.

No, Lu Yin suddenly thought of a possibility. Highsage Shenwei had willingly brought Lu Yin to Eversky Island, so perhaps he had the intention of bringing him over as a bodyguard to protect the two brats during the contest at the Astral Tower.

The more Lu Yin thought of this possibility, the more likely it seemed.

Lu Yin felt like he had been duped, as those two brats would create problems even when none existed. The path in front of him that had been so bright seemed to have suddenly grown dark.

At the same time, Highsage Shenwei arrived at the depths of Eversky Island. “Master, what do you think about this kid?”

“Keke, though I don’t know who his master is, for them to be able to nurture such a child, they cannot be anyone simple. Forget it. Just keep him as a nominal disciple.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Right, doesn’t the Cosmic Sect owe us quite a quota of a few exchange disciples?”

Highsage Shenwei’s eyes lit up. “Yes! The Cosmic Sect has continuously sent the occasional disciple to walk across our Eversky Bridge, and in exchange, Eversky Island’s disciples are allowed to cultivate at the Cosmic Sect. Unfortunately, Master has not yet accepted any suitable disciples.”

“Hmph, those people were simply all too weak, and it would be embarrassing for my Eversky Island if they went to the Cosmic Sect. Black and White are not bad, but their temperament has room for improvement, and they would only play around if they were sent there. We’ll do it like this: send this child.”
