Outside Earth, on a massive spaceship, Siken Maldo and the others stared intently at the screen. On the screen was precisely that sea turtle.
"General Maldo, a creature with combat power exceeding ten thousand can no longer be considered part of the trial. Capture that creature!" Toleona exclaimed urgently. Jenny Ona was still in the capital city. If that creature attacked the capital, everyone would die.
Siken Maldo clenched his fists, his eyes looking towards Comilla.
Comilla's expression was calm, a faint smile on her lips. "For the young elites of your Great Yu Empire, is death such a terrifying prospect?".
Toleona's expression changed, and she said nothing.
The massive sea turtle quickly disappeared. From beginning to end, no one spoke. No one dared to attract the attention of that sea turtle. It was truly terrifying. Even without attacking, its sheer size could crush everyone.
Lu Yin let out a breath. Huh?… Lulu Mebis?
Lu Yin looked towards the west again, vaguely seeing a green figure quickly moving away. That crazy woman wouldn't be chasing the sea turtle, would she?!
Outside the capital, Yan Gang coughed. He had been choked by the dust and smoke, and it had taken him a lot of effort to recover.
Everyone was still immersed in the terror of the sea turtle. Yan Gang spoke, "Qing Yu agreed. We can trade with you."
"Tell me which one in the Local Area Network is Qing Yu," Lu Yin said indifferently.
Yan Gang told Lu Yin.
Lu Yin directly contacted Qing Yu.
"Are you Qing Yu?" Lu Yin asked.
In Northern Europe, Qing Yu looked at his personal terminal, a faint smile on his lips. "So you're the one holding down the capital and capturing dozens of native disciples?".
"Your things are in my hands. If you want to trade, hand over the disciples you captured to me," Lu Yin said.
"That kid just told me. Sure, do you want Huo Xiaoling? If you do, I can give him to you too," Qing Yu teased.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. He knew that the reason Yan Gang was running errands for Qing Yu was because of Huo Xiaoling. He already had Las and Jenny Ona, so he didn't necessarily need Huo Xiaoling. Otherwise, Yan Gang would have fought to the death. "Huo Xiaoling doesn't matter, but the number of disciples you have is too small."
Qing Yu's eyes flashed. "Kid, the reason I'm trading is because I don't want to run errands. Otherwise, do you think just the few of you can stop me?".
"Of course we can't stop you. You still retain your Fusion Realm strength. However, while you can escape, so can we. We can take that stone and hide. After a while, the trial mission will fail, and the Great Yu Empire will personally take action to capture you. Can you withstand that? I know you want to use that stone to get a chance to escape. Compared to your own life, my conditions are quite generous," Lu Yin said.
Qing Yu laughed. "Very clever. Yes, I want to use that stone to escape. Alright, I can capture some more students. There's a group here, a total of 32. Is that okay?".
"Okay."
"Ten days later, the Indus region, at the bottom of Cang Peak. We'll trade there," Qing Yu said. Lu Yin agreed and then disconnected the personal terminal. Ten days later?
Yan Gang stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin said to him, "You can go to Northern Europe and pick up Huo Xiaoling now."
Yan Gang's eyes lit up. "You better hand Jenny Ona over to me. You don't know the power of the Ona family."
"Impossible. You can leave," Lu Yin said impatiently.
A cold light flashed in Yan Gang's eyes. Without saying much, he directly left.
After Yan Gang left, Lu Yin explained the situation to everyone.
Zhang Ding Tian said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you. Qing Yu is the mastermind behind Earth's evolution. Because of him, countless Earthlings died. I want to repay him with my life."
Bai Xue also said firmly, "I'll go too."
Lu Yin looked at Granny. "Release the news. Just say that in ten days, under Cang Peak in the Indus region, Qing Yu will appear."
"Do you want to use the disciples to eliminate Qing Yu?" Gules said.
Lu Yin nodded. "Isn't that your mission? Eliminate him, the trial mission is complete, which will benefit you."
"What about you? Do you also want revenge for the people of this planet?" Gules asked.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "The trial isn't just aimed at the disciples, it's also aimed at us. You have achievements, and so do I. Completing the mission can also increase our bargaining chips when negotiating with the Great Yu Empire."
Gules sneered, "You really want to negotiate with the Great Yu Empire? You're crazy! It's impossible to succeed."
"Let's give it a try," Lu Yin shrugged nonchalantly.
Soon, the Local Area Network exploded. Qing Yu went on a rampage and captured some more students, causing more than half of the disciples originally monitoring Qing Yu in Northern Europe to flee. At the same time, the news that Qing Yu would appear under Cang Peak in the Indus region ten days later spread like wildfire. Many disciples were shocked and rushed to the Indus region. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, at most they would just travel an extra distance, and wouldn't lose anything.
Qing Yu's whereabouts were completely exposed. Many disciples rushed to the Indus region. This was the final battle of the trial. Either the disciples would complete the mission, or the mission would fail and the Great Yu Empire would take action. There were only these two possibilities.
Lu Yin closed himself off again, holding the star map in his hand, observing the movement of the stars. He hoped he could bring out the fourth star.
The Heavenly Stellar Palm was terrifying. Each additional star increased its power several times. Three stars suppressed Erde, compared to Las. Lu Yin estimated that four stars would be enough to suppress Mo Nuo and Yan Gang, these Fusion Realm experts whose cultivation was sealed. The power of the Heavenly Beast Claw and White Night Fist couldn't be increased for the time being. To increase his combat power, he only had the Heavenly Stellar Palm.
But before that, Lu Yin found a piece of paper, closed his eyes, and recalled the scene in his dream. While asleep, he had dreamed of being crushed by a jade finger that transcended the starry sky. That feeling was very real, like he was truly being crushed. His heart was filled with endless anger. That scene had left a fresh memory in his mind. He picked up his pen, wanting to draw it, but he hesitated, unable to put pen to paper. That jade finger that pierced through the starry sky was clearly in his mind, but he just couldn't draw it.
Lu Yin threw away the paper irritably. He had a feeling that he should be able to draw it, but he just couldn't. After thinking carefully for a while, he sighed. Oh well, it was just a dream.
Lu Yin raised his hand, and the dice appeared. The five-dot side had a trace of icy coldness. This was Bai Xue's talent, which he could borrow. After using it, it would disappear, and he would have to roll a five again and touch her within ten seconds to use it next time.
"An interesting talent," Lu Yin muttered to himself. He took out a cube of Star Energy crystal from the Null Space Ring and crushed it, letting the dice absorb it. But this time, the dice didn't absorb it.
"Reached its limit? Looks like I have to wait a while," Lu Yin thought to himself, waved his hand to dissipate the dice, and began to observe the star map.
This trial was like a nightmare for most disciples. The first batch of trial disciples were relatively lucky. Except for most of the strongest individuals in the Academy being captured, the remaining ordinary disciples just wanted to occupy land and obtain some unimpeded achievements, so they were fine. The second batch of trial participants were unlucky. Whether in the capital or Northern Europe, nearly half were captured. This had never happened before in the Great Yu Empire's trial history.
It made Siken Maldo and the others lose face.
More importantly, even the disciples from large families like Las and Jenny Ona were captured, and there were also masters from the Martial Hall among them, making Siken Maldo and the others unable to hold their heads up high.
Comilla, on the other hand, found it amusing, occasionally praising them, which sounded more like sarcasm to Siken Maldo and the others.
"This is what a real trial is. Many previous trials were just disciples crushing the natives. That's not a trial, more like staging a play. General Maldo, your Great Yu Empire is indeed a nation of iron and blood," Comilla praised.
Siken Maldo was silent. This woman had just said that the young elites of their Great Yu Empire were afraid of death, and now she was saying something else. Wasn't this sarcasm?
"General, we should probably prepare. Ten days later will be the final battle. Qing Yu giving ten days' time is likely to allow the majority of disciples to gather. It seems he is very confident," Toleona said in a deep voice.
"That Lu Yin simply doesn't understand the terrifying power of Qing Yu's Fusion Realm strength. This trial has a ninety percent chance of failure," Sa La Shu said coldly from the side.
Siken Maldo looked at the screen. From their perspective, Lu Yin's actions were like stripping a tiger of its skin, vainly attempting to negotiate with Qing Yu. It was suicidal. Not to mention Qing Yu's Fusion Realm strength, even if Qing Yu only had Expedition Realm strength left, the power of the White Night Clan wasn't something ordinary elites could contend with.
Comilla looked at the screen, a faint smile on her lips. Fusion Realm? No, wrong. She could be sure that Qing Yu wasn't even in the Fusion Realm, and even displaying peak Expedition Realm strength would be difficult for him. His injuries were too severe. He could barely display half the strength of the Expedition Realm. Even so, to outsiders, it would still seem like Fusion Realm strength. This was the White Night Clan. She hoped there would be a good show to watch in ten days!
Two days later, Yan Gang found Qing Yu, wanting to take Huo Xiaoling away, but Qing Yu refused.
"Did you get my things?" Qing Yu sneered.
Yan Gang was furious. "There are still eight days for you to trade with those natives. Release Huo Xiaoling first."
