Hearing Gules, Lu Yin's eyebrows twitched, looking at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "You want to split the spoils?"
Gules raised her eyebrows. "You don't want to split them?"
The two looked at each other.
Ballaro tugged at Gules, whispering, "We can't be seen, or if we fall into the Academy's hands, your brother will be embarrassed."
Gules nodded and said to Lu Yin, "You play by yourself then, we'll hide," before disappearing with Ballaro.
Lu Yin didn't object; he wasn't comfortable having these two by his side, so them hiding was just right.
In the distance, two figures slowly appeared.
Ten minutes later, the Local Area Network transmitted a notification that two more people had been defeated.
Five days later, the majority of students originally thought that the Interstellar Highway Robber had stopped, but unexpectedly, they appeared again, without any warning.
Gules excitedly looked at Lu Yin. "Quick, how much did you get? Let's split it."
Lu Yin looked at Gules. "Are you sure?"
Gules stared at Lu Yin, muttering, "You wouldn't be so shameless as to swallow it all yourself, would you?"
Lu Yin thought for a moment and tossed a Star Energy crystal to Gules. "Take it."
Gules was breathless, directly snapping at Lu Yin, "Bastard, stingy."
Lu Yin smiled. "You were the one who didn't want it, don't blame me." He had long seen that this woman had a problematic personality. She helped him rob because she herself was uncomfortable. Even if he didn't give her Star Energy crystals, she would still help, unless she could snatch the item back from his hand. Lu Yin wasn't worried about her abandoning the task.
With Gules, this inside collaborator, helping, Lu Yin's robbing path was quite smooth. In a few days, he had robbed several groups of people, managing to gather a full five cubic meters of Star Energy crystals, which even made Gules envious.
There were still four days until the second batch of trial participants arrived. Lu Yin encountered his first real crisis since the end of the world; he was surrounded by a total of seven students, including three of the Academy's strongest.
On the top floor of an abandoned town's supermarket, Lu Yin scanned the few people. Gules had detected only two people here through her personal communicator, but suddenly seven appeared. The other five weren't carrying personal communicators and were hiding with him.
These people were planning to catch him at any cost, even throwing away their personal communicators.
"You're the Interstellar Highway Robber? Only 2100 combat power, it seems your combat skills are very powerful," a rough-looking student said coldly. He was one of the Academy's strongest.
Beside him, a girl with an ordinary appearance but a hot figure giggled coyly. "Many people get Star Energy crystals not for cultivation but for training combat skills. Junior, are you like that too? Tell your senior sister what your combat skills are, okay?"
Lu Yin looked at the girl, the corner of his mouth curving up. "Want to know? Come try."
The girl giggled, reaching out with a hand. An energy gun aimed at Lu Yin. "Junior, do you know that sometimes fighting doesn't necessarily rely on yourself? External objects are also very important."
At the same time, the other few people also took out energy guns and aimed at Lu Yin. This kind of energy gun could hurt Insight Realm experts. Tres, before his death, had used one to pierce Granny's shoulder, its power not weak.
Lu Yin's eyes stared at the people around him. Suddenly, he took a Flame crystal from his Void Ring and slammed it on the ground. Sky-high flames burned the building, obscuring vision. Several people fired at the same time. Lu Yin relied on the Flowing Body Technique to dodge, and casually threw out several other supernatural energy crystals: Frost and a whirlwind of lightning swept up the flames, covering the surroundings. White mist evaporated, blocking everyone's sight.
These crystals were all obtained from those who had been robbed. Today, Lu Yin used them to obscure vision.
The Flowing Body Technique was used by Lu Yin at extreme speed, leaving only afterimages in place, while he himself appeared in front of one of the Academy's strongest. The Heavenly Star Palm was unleashed without hesitation. The battle armor ring on that student's body instantly shattered, and his body was knocked to the ground. Immediately after, Lu Yin's body spun around, and the Rending Sky Palm bombarded the surroundings, its enormous power crushing the ground floor and shattering the void. Four of the remaining six students were seriously injured. The remaining two of the Academy's strongest tore through the Rending Sky Palm and attacked Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes were ice-cold. Both his hands lashed out, and Starlight simultaneously appeared in his palms. One palm struck towards one person.
Boom
The place completely exploded, and three figures crashed down, crushing the earth. The abandoned supermarket was blasted into two halves.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Lu Yin's back. Before, the student who had been slammed into the ground had stabbed his body with a sword. Fresh blood dyed his clothes red. Lu Yin's Heavenly Star Palm's Starlight exploded, forcing back the two people. He turned around and grabbed the arm of that student, pulled out a short sword, and slashed out. That student's pupils contracted, directly releasing the sword hilt to retreat. Lu Yin's sword sliced through the air, and he swung his hand, throwing the short sword backward. The sword's edge flashed, slicing through the cheeks of one of the students, a streak of blood splashing onto the wall, while the short sword pierced through more than ten floors of the building and stabbed into an armored vehicle inside.
The ruins of the building swayed, and dust flew all around.
Lu Yin panted heavily. The pain in his back made him highly tense. These three of the Academy's strongest almost all reached Bailey's standard, slightly stronger than Willow. The three of them surrounding him left him nowhere to escape.
Far away, Gules and Ballaro watched with flickering eyes.
"Say, should we add insult to injury and rob him?" Gules asked excitedly.
Ballaro pondered, "Maybe, but we have to wait, wait until he's seriously injured."
Gules said triumphantly, "Finally, that Erde isn't stupid, knowing to set an ambush. Otherwise, this lady would have really helped for nothing."
Ballaro was surprised. "You knew this was a trap?"
"Idiot, of course I didn't know, but as long as Erde isn't too stupid, he'll definitely think of setting a trap. I can lead this bastard to rob, and Erde can similarly use me to ambush him in return. Everyone is smart," Gules rolled her eyes at Ballaro.
"Three Academy's strongest comparable to Bailey, even Erde himself would avoid this kind of situation. This guy is finished, hehe," Gules laughed happily, also feeling relieved.
Of the seven people who besieged him, only three could truly pose a threat to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin exhaled, taking an item from his Void Ring, which caused the three besiegers' expressions to change drastically. "This is?"
Far away, Gules was stunned, her face flushed red. "This shameless, despicable bastard."
Lu Yin smiled slightly, wearing a delicate ring battle armor, flashing with lightning. That's right, this was Gules' battle armor, said to be given to her by her brother for self-defense. Her Void Ring had been taken by Lu Yin, so this thing naturally had been robbed as well, including that uniquely shaped bow and arrow.
"Gules' battle armor!" a sturdy man roared angrily, glaring at Lu Yin. "You dare rob Gules, you're crazy! Her brother is Gurbach!"
Lu Yin sneered, "I don't care who he is, do I choose my targets when robbing? Your brain's gone haywire," he said, unleashing a palm strike. The Rending Sky Palm violently slammed into the sturdy man's body. The man gritted his teeth and resisted, his body being knocked back more than ten meters, crashing into a supermarket pillar. In an instant, the supermarket completely collapsed, and countless rocks fell.
With a jump, Lu Yin and the others rushed out of the ruins. One of them crushed a crystal, and a monstrous whirlwind expanded, turning into a sharp green blade that slashed towards Lu Yin. Lu Yin met the green blade head-on, lightning flickering around his body. The green blade had no effect on him at all. Lu Yin brushed past the green blade and appeared in front of the man. One Heavenly Star Palm slammed him fiercely to the ground. This palm almost made him spit out his internal organs, and he directly fainted.
The other two saw that things were bad and immediately retreated.
Lu Yin wearing the battle armor was not someone whose defense they could break. Before, Lu Yin himself had used his full strength to unleash the Heavenly Star Palm to break through the lightning defense.
Seven people besieged him, two escaped, and five were defeated. When this record was exposed on the Local Area Network, all the students, including Erde, fell silent.
He considered himself the strongest among the first batch of trial participants, but even he would find it very difficult to achieve this record. Immediately, all the allied students received a notification from Erde to give up pursuing the Interstellar Highway Robber and attack the capital city three days later.
Lu Yin sat casually on the ground, his gaze staring into the distance. "Come out."
Gules and Ballaro looked at Lu Yin in shock. This person had become famous in one battle today. The strongest person among the natives was Zhang Ding Tian, who possessed Realm Breaking combat power. Before, one saber strike from him had forced back the four of them, including Erde. That combat power had frightened Gules. Today, Lu Yin's strength similarly shocked her. One palm heavily injured one of the Academy's strongest. What kind of combat skill was that?
Lu Yin threw some healing medicine to Gules. "You help me apply it."
Gules' eyes widened, pointing at herself. "What did you say? You want me to help you apply medicine?"
"Is it hard to understand?" Lu Yin said calmly.
Gules was furious. "You're dreaming! This lady is pure and innocent, and hasn't even touched a man's body. You actually dare to insult me."
Lu Yin stared at her coldly. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Just now, if I had been defeated, you wouldn't have been so polite, would you? Immediately help me apply the medicine."
"I'll do it," Ballaro said.
Lu Yin snorted. "No, your hands are dirty."
Ballaro was speechless.
