Star Odyssey

te groups.
They were practically sailing through a den of thieves, and their harvests reflected it.
Lu Yin himself had already obtained about 700,000 star crystals, which sounded like an enormous fortune.
Every pirate following him had also obtained enough wealth to live extravagantly for the rest of their lives.
They could even quit being a pirate and live as a rich commoner if they so desired it.

“Brother Eight, isn’t the territory of Knight Pirates ahead? Let’s go rob them!” a pirate exclaimed excitedly in the command room.

Little Eight smacked the pirate heavily on his head.
“Are you crazy?! You want to rob the Knight Pirates? Scram!”

Lu Yin was coincidentally walking by and overheard the conversation.
“Why can’t we rob the Knight Pirates?”

Little Eight jumped in fright when he heard Lu Yin’s voice, and he quickly turned around to explain.
“Boss, the Knight Pirates are the strongest pirate group in this entire region.
They have at least five Limiteers in their ranks, and their captain, the Mad Viper Knight, is an absolute powerhouse.
He graduated from the Astral Combat Academy.”

Lu Yin was stunned.
“He graduated from Astral Combat Academy? He’s an Explorer?”

Little Eight shook his head.
“No, there’s no way an Explorer would linger in this poor region.
He’s a peak Limiteer.”

Lu Yin relaxed.
As long as the opponent wasn’t an Explorer, he would be fine.
It must be a false rumor that this captain had graduated from the Astral Combat Academy, as the rules stated that a student could only graduate after they became an Explorer.
Anyone who could not reach that stage would be expelled when they came of age, which was not considered graduating.

The Astral Combat Academy was split into ten academies.
Aside from Astral-10, the other academies had an average of a thousand students each.
Not even a third of those students would be able to successfully graduate, and each graduate was an absolute elite of the universe.
Even those who had been expelled were not weak.
Becoming an Explorer required both fortuitous opportunities and innate talent.
Without a five-stage formcast model, it was too difficult to become an Explorer by the academy’s required age.
But even their expelled students would remain outstanding wherever they went.
There should be no need for one to ever become a pirate, which meant this Mad Viper Knight was probably a fake.

“Let’s go.
We’ll plunder these Knight Pirates.
Since they’ve been able to dominate the few surrounding regions, they should give us a decent harvest.” Lu Yin held high expectations for the upcoming loot.

Little Eight’s face turned bitter.
“Boss, these pirates really can’t be provoked.
They were once surrounded by soldiers, but they slaughtered almost half of them.
Their blood even turned the oceans of the planet beneath them red! The Mad Viper Knight even managed to sneak in and kill an Explorer! This guy’s scary!”

Lu Yin beamed as he replied, “That’s our target! Let’s go!”

Little Eight was left helpless, and he could only glare furiously at the pirate who had opened his mouth earlier.
The spacecraft changed course and headed straight at the Knight Pirates’ territory.

It was no easy task to find a pirate group, as they would not stay in the same place for long.
It required some luck, but since both parties were pirates, Little Eight had a good chance of tracking their prey down.

By this point, Lu Yin had long since forgotten about his Lockbreaking mission.
Although Lockbreaking was important to him, these star crystals were much more important.
His die was his shortcut to rapidly increasing his strength.
He had already gathered 700,000 star crystals, so after this last mission, he could head back to Astral-10 and patiently wait for the Astral Combat Tournament to start.

The Knight Pirates roamed across several regions, so Little Eight initially expected it to take awhile to find them.
But contrary to his expectations, they spotted a large spacecraft in the middle of a meteoroid field after just a day.
It was the Knight Pirates’ spacecraft.

Under Lu Yin’s stern gaze, Little Eight sent a docking request to the Knight Pirates.
Quickly, their spacecraft was given permission to board by the larger spacecraft.

Lu Yin looked at his gadget when he heard the two spacecrafts connect.
He could see the power levels of the various people on this large vessel and saw that there were nearly a thousand people here.
There were three Limiteers, but more importantly, one had a power level of 10,000.
This impressive number caused Little Eight to nearly faint in fear.
This was a peak Limiteer and should be the Mad Viper Knight.
It seemed that he was only a single step away from breaking through to become an Explorer.

Lu Yin’s face became slightly grave, but he did not pay too much attention to this number.
He had met many peak Limiteers and had even fought against some of them in the teleportation battles.
While their superior star energy had strongly suppressed him, they were not unbeatable like an Explorer was.
Uro had been a peak Limiteer, and so had Spear Mountain’s Area Master, Frankfurt.

“B-boss, there’s still time to retreat.
I think that it’d be best if we don’t provoke the Mad Viper Knight.
We can leave after giving him some tribute,” Little Eight nervously stammered out.

Lu Yin waved away the suggestion and calmly walked out of their spacecraft and onto the Knight Pirates’ vessel.
He had already made sufficient preparations before arriving, and if this Mad Viper Knight was too strong, he could still retreat.
However, this pirate captain should still be within Lu Yin’s capabilities.
If the fight did turn out to be impossible, then he could use his status as a Lockbreaker to save his life.

He first used his status as a pirate captain to request a meeting with the Mad Viper Knight.
This was not an excessive request, and Lu Yin was quickly taken to a lounge where he saw a Limiteer standing outside.

Just as the Limiteer was about to speak, however, his gadget beeped, and his face changed.
His entire bearing shifted and he quickly left.
The pirate who had escorted Lu Yin left in a hurry as well, leaving just Lu Yin by himself.
Lu Yin frowned, but did not pay the two’s actions any mind.
He directly opened the lounge door and stepped inside.

The Mad Viper Knight was a middle-aged man, of a similar age as most of the pirate captains.
He wore an elegant aristocratic coat and clasped a cane in his hand.
On his face was a fearsome snake tattoo, and his appearance was rather intimidating at a glance.

Lu Yin’s entrance did not disturb the captain since he was looking at something on his gadget, but his eyes seemed to carry a trace of worry.
