Lu Yin's eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at Gules. "Repeat yourself. Help me apply the medicine."
Gules gritted her teeth, enunciating each word. "Go. You remember this debt. One day I will settle it with you." After saying that, she squeezed some ointment onto her hand and placed it on Lu Yin's back.
A wave of coolness rushed over him. Lu Yin exhaled. This kind of Three-Leaf Clover company's wound medicine was truly effective, quickly forming a scab.
Gules' small hands were soft and boneless, adding to the coolness of the ointment, truly giving Lu Yin a moment of enjoyment. He looked at Gules with a slightly gentler gaze.
"Hmph, it's starting... continue robbing," Gules said.
Lu Yin reached out and threw the Void Ring to Gules. "No more robbing. It's enough. You play with it yourself."
Gules hurriedly shouted, "No way! Erde hasn't appeared yet. We have to rob him!"
Lu Yin smiled without paying her any mind. Those people before hadn't taken him seriously, thinking that as the strongest person in the Academy, he was enough to deal with it. But now, seven had appeared at once. To rob again would definitely encounter this kind of formation. Only an idiot would go.
Lu Yin turned over the five Void Rings of the disciples, finding another two cubic meters of Star Energy crystals. He waved at Gules and flew away.
Gules suddenly shouted loudly, "Bastard! My battle armor! My bow and arrows!"
"Borrowing them for now. I'll return them later," Lu Yin's voice grew farther and farther away, until it could no longer be heard.
On the spot, Gules stomped her foot angrily. The battle armor and bow and arrows were given to her by her older brother for self-defense. It was precisely with the battle armor and bow and arrows that she could make Erde wary of her. Today, they had all been snatched away by that bastard, that shameless, despicable little man.
In the capital city, Zhang Ding Tian and the others also saw the battle results on the Local Area Network.
Bai Xue was shaken. Those disciples who came from the starry sky were all Heaven-grade, and those who dared to complete the mission were at least the top three experts of the Academy. Among them, nearly half were the strongest in the Academy. She had personally witnessed the strength of the strongest in the Academy. Today, seven had clearly been defeated in an instant. How could this Lu Yin have become so strong after not seeing him for a few days?
Zhang Ding Tian suddenly raised his head and looked towards the south of the capital, a rare smile appearing on his face. "An old friend has arrived."
Bai Xue's eyes lit up. "Could it be, Zhu Shan?"
The two hurriedly flew towards the south of the capital, but then suddenly stopped halfway, looking towards the north. "Another old friend is here. It seems they even intend to take a trip through this muddy water in the capital."
Bai Xue was pleasantly surprised. "Wu Sheng is also here? That's great!"
Zhang Ding Tian took a deep breath. "They shouldn't have come. Four of the Seven Saints have arrived, plus Lu Yin, making five people against a dozen trial disciples. This is truly a power disparity."
Far away, Lu Yin found a secluded mountain village. He carefully arranged the Flame Crystals in all directions, took out a large bundle of Star Energy crystals and directly crushed them. Immediately, a vast amount of Star Energy surged, and Lu Yin circulated the Heavenly Star Art to absorb it.
In the west of the capital, Erde waited for over a dozen students to appear. "Everyone adjust your states. Three days later, we will officially attack the capital. Our opponents are not the native defenders of the capital, but the second batch of trial-takers who will appear soon. According to the rules, even if Fusion Realm experts appear among the second batch of trial-takers, their power will be sealed, and they can only exert Insight Realm strength. Even so, they are not people ordinary individuals can contend with. Everyone, prepare yourselves."
All the disciples were solemn and respectful.
Very rarely did a second batch of trial-takers appear on the Great Yu Empire's trial planets. This time was purely because of the tenth-ranked Starry Sky Academy. Many hidden geniuses who usually kept a low profile temporarily participated in the trial for the sake of their scores. This was the reason for the second batch of trial-takers, and a portion of them had come to Earth. The ones they were about to face would be these kinds of monstrous talents.
More and more disciples approached the capital.
In the south of China, on the vast ocean, more than a dozen tired students appeared, landing. "Finally arrived in China. That Erde guy is organizing people to snatch the fugitive's things. Let's make a move too. We can't let him take the lead."
In the east, north, and other directions, groups of disciples similarly appeared. The wind in China had begun to stir, clouds gathering.
When the sun shone on the earth on the third day, Zhang Ding Tian stood on the steel city wall, looking solemnly into the distance as a group of dark figures appeared.
At the same time, far away, Lu Yin opened his eyes. In three days, he had absorbed five cubic meters of Star Energy crystals and expelled the impurities from his body. Today, his body was filled with surging Star Energy, much stronger than before. This was the suppression of energy. The more Star Energy absorbed into the body, the higher the energy intensity. Today, he had absolutely reached the peak of the Insight Realm. In terms of combat power, it should be... 3000.
In these few days, Lu Yin had looted a total of seven cubic meters of Star Energy crystals. After using five cubic meters, Lu Yin looked at the remaining two cubic meters of Star Energy crystals. He really couldn't resist the temptation. He took out the die, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Here we go. Let's gamble once. Hopefully this time it won't be a one-point roll again. That's too deceiving. The chances of getting something good with a one-point roll are too low." With that, he crushed a cubic meter of Star Energy crystals.
The dim surface of the die quickly changed, finally transforming into a sparkling, bright light.
Lu Yin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stretched out a finger, and gently tapped the die. The die quickly spun. Lu Yin stared unblinkingly, his eyes widening to their fullest. Finally, five faces of the die disappeared, leaving only one face - two points.
Lu Yin was excited. Two points, an unfamiliar number. Lu Yin stared intently at the die. Beneath the die, a rotating black hole suddenly appeared. In Lu Yin's mind, a function inexplicably emerged: "Disassemble? Disassemble everything?" Lu Yin was surprised. What did this mean?
Looking at the slowly rotating black hole, Lu Yin thought for a moment and casually threw in a piece of scrap iron. However, in the blink of an eye, the scrap iron passed through the black hole and fell out, no longer scrap iron, but a complete block of iron. Its surface was shiny and smooth, hard, and its volume was much smaller than the scrap iron.
Lu Yin looked at the block of iron, finally understanding what the so-called disassembly meant. Any dead object thrown in would be disassembled into its basic materials.
"This function isn't bad," Lu Yin thought. He then threw in a Void Ring, one he had looted from a disciple. He had looted many Void Rings from disciples without returning them, because these students had gone too far.
The Void Ring passed through the black hole and dropped out a dark red metal the size of a fingernail. Lu Yin was overjoyed. This was Starsteel, the metal used to make Void Rings, and one of the most precious mineral resources.
Retracting the Starsteel, Lu Yin threw in all the looted Void Rings, obtaining a thumb-sized piece of Starsteel in total. Lu Yin pondered for a moment, then threw the Starsteel into the black hole. With a 'bang', a bead of shimmering, dark gold light metal fell out. Lu Yin's eyes widened. This was Starsteel essence, its value far exceeding Starsteel, and a necessary material for crafting super-large Void Rings. Its price was exorbitant.
Lu Yin carefully retrieved the Starsteel essence, his eyes filled with excitement. "From now on, should I find junkyards specifically for disassembling things?"
Five minutes later, the black hole disappeared.
The black hole's duration, like the Time Stop space, could be exchanged for Star Energy crystals. Lu Yin speculated that the exchange ratio was probably the same. He felt a bit of a headache, sensing that no matter how many Star Energy crystals he had, it wouldn't be enough.
"Oh well, I'll figure out a way later," Lu Yin murmured to himself, stretching his body and causing crackling sounds. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the capital. "It's time to go back." With that, he shot off into the distance with a bang.
Lu Yin rushed to the capital, and at this moment, the capital was in great chaos. Millions of survivors fearfully watched the sky as occasional aftershocks swept across the land, bringing disaster.
Erde, allied with more than twenty students, attacked the capital. By the time the news spread, the war had already begun.
The steel city walls were the first to be destroyed. Bai Xue stood panting outside the ruined walls. Before her were the arrogant-looking Hai Di'an and two other disciples.
"Just some natives who dared to try and stop us. They don't know their own limits," one disciple said scornfully, his eyes burning as he stared at Bai Xue. This woman was far too beautiful.
Another student had the same burning gaze.
They were all the strongest in the Academy. Just one of them could deal with Bai Xue, but because of Bai Xue's appearance, three of them had come. If there weren't too many people, and if many other disciples weren't also glancing over from afar...
Hai Di'an frowned as he looked at Bai Xue. "Woman, I'll give you a chance to submit to us. I can take you out of this desolate planet's shadow and truly explore the starry sky."
"Hai Di'an, you don't want to monopolize her, do you?" A disciple beside him immediately expressed dissatisfaction.
Hai Di'an was arrogant. There were differences even between Academies. His strength surpassed the other two. Here, the only ones who could defeat him were Erde and Zhang Ding Tian. He didn't care about anyone else.
Bai Xue clenched her fists tightly, slowly exhaling. Her blue hair fluttered in the wind. Immediately afterward, the earth froze, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.
The three disciples opposite her didn't care. This woman was at most comparable to the strongest in the Academy. One against three was unrealistic.
Far away, Zhu Shan roared angrily, falling to the ground simultaneously with a disciple. His strength could barely cope with one person.
In the sky, there were still more than a dozen figures hovering, arrogantly looking down. They didn't worry about failure; it was just a native city.
"Wasting time. Let's do it," one of the disciples said arrogantly, pressing his hand towards the capital. The pressure from the sky descended, crushing countless people who coughed up blood as they looked at the sky in despair.
