Zhang Ding Tian and Bai Xue similarly looked on in disbelief, "Liu Shao Ge, you're not dead?".
Liu Shao Ge smiled faintly, respectfully bowing towards Qing Yu, "Young Master, I have controlled all the captured disciples, a total of seventy-two. That should be enough."
Qing Yu nodded, looking arrogantly towards the sky, "Your trial is over. To get the lives of these seventy-two students, release me."
"Liu Shao Ge, why?" Bai Xue shouted, glaring angrily at Liu Shao Ge.
Liu Shao Ge smiled faintly, "Little Xue, Earth is too small. My aspirations lie in the starry sky."
"You betrayed us? Wang You? Tong Zhan?" Bai Xue cried out.
Liu Shao Ge shrugged, "They are truly dead. People who don't appreciate others are not worthy of sympathy." He then looked gently at Bai Xue, "Actually, with your talent, you should go to the starry sky even more. Let it go. Your Frost talent, the talent of a cultivator, your future shouldn't be limited to Earth."
Zhang Ding Tian's eyes widened, and he bit his lip until it bled.
Lu Yin's gaze was ice-cold. The injuries Qing Yu inflicted on him and the pain he brought to Earth were far less than the harm Liu Shao Ge had caused. At the beginning of the apocalypse, countless survivors in a city were burned to death by Liu Shao Ge's orders. He still had burn scars on his body, having experienced the ultimate suffering. That was the first time Lu Yin had experienced such a taste, and he would never forget it. He had thought it would be difficult to have a chance for revenge, but he never expected Liu Shao Ge not only to be alive but also to appear before him.
Qing Yu was waiting for Starry Sky to agree to his conditions, while Liu Shao Ge faced Bai Xue.
Lu Yin closed his eyes. In his right hand, the dice appeared. He crushed a Star Energy crystal, and the dice absorbed it frantically. This was his only chance; he hoped he could roll the right number.
Outside Earth, inside the massive spaceship, Siken Maldo sighed, "It's over. The trial mission has completely failed."
No one refuted him. Facing Qing Yu, whose strength was unmatched at the same level, no one could defeat him.
Toleona said regretfully, "It would have been good if that little girl from the Mebis family had also gone. With the terrifying strength of the Mebis family, they might not have been Qing Yu's opponent."
Sa La Shu sneered, "Mebis is Mebis, and our Great Yu Empire is the Great Yu Empire. Even if the Mebis family defeated Qing Yu, so what? Would that little girl become someone from the Great Yu Empire?"
Toleona didn't refute, as that was the truth.
Siken Maldo turned to look at Comilla, "Miss Comilla, I'm sorry for making you witness a failed trial."
Comilla smiled faintly, two pupils vaguely revealing a hint of red as she looked at the screen, "Failed? Is it over already?".
Siken Maldo nodded helplessly, "I'm sorry."
Comilla laughed, "Wait a little longer. Maybe there's a turning point? The trial is about finding life in a dead end, isn't it?".
Toleona said bitterly, "Qing Yu comes from the White Night Clan. He's a wanted fugitive the White Night Clan has ordered to be captured alive. His strength far surpasses his peers, let alone facing some Expedition Realm disciples. On Earth, he's almost invincible, even if he's only left with Expedition Realm strength."
Mentioning the White Night Clan made even Comilla's expression become more serious, "How do you plan to deal with him?".
"The White Night Clan sent a message to try and capture him alive. If he dies, his body must be sent back to the White Night Clan, along with their ancient inherited stone," Siken Maldo said.
Comilla nodded, "In other words, dead or alive, right?".
The others were silent. They were indeed considering whether to kill Qing Yu. Qing Yu's attempt to exchange the lives of seventy-two students for his chance to escape was completely impossible. The pressure from the White Night Clan far exceeded the value of seventy-two students' lives.
"Let's wait a little longer. The rules of the Youth Council are that as long as there are still trial participants who haven't lost their fighting ability, the trial is not considered over. Look, isn't there someone trying hard?" Comilla stared at the screen. On the screen, Lu Yin had just crushed the second Star Energy crystal.
"Liu Shao Ge!" Zhang Ding Tian roared, his clothes stained with blood as he spat out blood and slashed with his saber.
Liu Shao Ge was surprised, "You're not dead?". He then slowly extended his hand, and a cluster of light separated, then blasted towards Zhang Ding Tian. Along the way, Zhang Ding Tian's slash was easily shattered. Bai Xue appeared before Zhang Ding Tian, layers of hard ice rising to try and block Liu Shao Ge's attack. However, facing Bai Xue's Upper Saint level strength, Liu Shao Ge displayed terrifying power. The light crushed everything, pushing back Bai Xue and Zhang Ding Tian simultaneously.
Gules and Ballaro woke up and stood up. They had originally wanted to attack but immediately stopped. This Earth native seemed to be no ordinary strongman.
"Don't let that woman ruin things," Qing Yu glanced over, saying in a cold voice.
Liu Shao Ge turned around, acknowledged him, then looked indifferently at Zhang Ding Tian and Bai Xue, "The so-called Seven Saints are just a joke. Wang You and Tong Zhan were both captured by me. They were too weak. Zhang Ding Tian, if you were at your peak, you might have been able to fight me, but you today, what are you? You've never known my true strength."
Zhang Ding Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to even hold his saber properly.
Bai Xue's eyes were bloodshot, her gaze chilling.
Not far away, Lu Yin was frustrated. The first time he rolled the dice, he got a two, which could decompose things. Lu Yin immediately crushed the second cube of Star Energy crystal, and he rolled a five. Glancing triumphantly at Qing Yu and Liu Shao Ge, who had defeated Zhang Ding Tian and the other, Lu Yin took a deep breath and tried again.
When the dice stopped spinning, the five faces disappeared, finally revealing a number—four. Lu Yin was excited; that was it.
In the next instant, Lu Yin entered the gray-white space, the Time Stop space.
He took out all the remaining Star Energy crystals from his Null Space Ring and threw them all towards the number. Immediately, the number increased from two five nine two zero to four three six eight zero. Five days. He spent all his remaining Star Energy crystals to increase the time by two days, then began to heal the injuries on his body. At the same time, he took out the star map and immersed himself in it. Five days was enough to simulate the fourth star. Just how strong would the four-star Heavenly Stellar Palm be? Could it stop Qing Yu? He could only gamble.
In the gray-white space, five days felt incredibly long. There was no sound, no scenery, only solitude.
By the end of the third day, the injuries on Lu Yin's hand had improved a lot, and in the Heavenly Stellar Art, the fourth star became increasingly clear.
By the end of the fourth day, the fourth star had appeared.
When the fifth day ended and the number turned to zero, the scene before Lu Yin's eyes changed. He had left the gray-white space. Real-time hadn't changed. Qing Yu was still looking up at the sky, and Liu Shao Ge was still so indifferent, as if the world meant nothing to him. Bai Xue and the others were filled with resentment, and many injured disciples lay fallen around them.
"Are you not planning to answer me? Do you really want to force me to my death?" Qing Yu roared, his figure disappearing and appearing in front of the captured disciples. He raised his hand, grabbed Huo Xiaoling's red hair, and said with a sneer, "Let her be buried with me."
Huo Xiaoling was furious, terrifying power swirling around her. She wanted to break through the seal.
Qing Yu was arrogant, "Want to break through? Think it over. A Fusion Realm expert who participated in the Expedition Realm trial mission and still failed, do you think you're qualified to join the Starry Sky Battle Academy?".
One sentence made Huo Xiaoling's face turn pale. Qing Yu had said these words to her countless times. It was because of this that she willingly allowed herself to be captured. A dignified Fusion Realm expert, or rather, a talented cultivator, who clearly failed in the Expedition Realm trial mission, for the Starry Sky Battle Academy, this kind of student was just trash.
Not only the Starry Sky Battle Academy, but other advanced academies in the universe wouldn't accept this kind of student. This was the biggest stain on her life.
Huo Xiaoling closed her eyes,收敛 Star Energy (shōuliǎn Star Energy - restrained Star Energy), and thought, even if she died, she couldn't break through.
Outside Earth, Siken Maldo was anxious, "Miss Comilla, we can't wait any longer. Huo Xiaoling cannot die."
Toleona and Sa La Shu also stared at the screen. Once Huo Xiaoling died on Earth, the Great Yu Empire would definitely face a shockwave. The Huo family wasn't easy to provoke, and they would all suffer.
Comilla didn't pay attention to Huo Xiaoling. Even the disciples of the noble families from the border planets weren't worth her attention. She stared at Lu Yin. From the very beginning, this person was wrong, as if he had changed. The most obvious thing was the injury on his hand; it had clearly healed, so quickly? Talent? Was it that dice? They had all seen Lu Yin's talent dice. It was very strange at first, but anything could appear with talent, so they hadn't overthought it. But now it seemed that it might not be ordinary.
"Miss Comilla!" Siken Maldo exclaimed urgently.
Comilla's lips curled up, and she pointed at the screen. Everyone looked again, their eyes filled with surprise.
On Earth, Qing Yu, who should have been threatening Huo Xiaoling, was now more than ten meters away from her. Just now, he had been blasted back by a fierce palm strike. He had actually been blasted back? Ridiculous! Qing Yu raised his head and glared forward.
Not only Qing Yu, but everyone stared blankly in that direction. Lu Yin stood before Huo Xiaoling, retracting his hand. "It seems like you've… forgotten about me."
Everyone looked at Lu Yin. This person… had forced Qing Yu back?
Gules swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Granny's heart trembled. Ever since she had been by the side of this body, her three views had been completely refreshed. Qing Yu had swept across all the disciples, yet he had been forced back by this person.
