Liu Shaoge

Starry Sky Academy is the universe's top institution, comprising ten academies. While the Ninth Academy is located in the boundless outer universe, the other nine are in the inner universe. However, this time, the Tenth Academy will appear in the Canglan Territory, a region that encompasses the Great Yu Empire.

Lu Yin closed the screen, his eyes flickering. This information was incredibly valuable. Starry Sky Academy held an irresistible allure for countless young people across the universe. It was originally irrelevant to him, too distant, but now, with the Tenth Academy entering the Canglan Territory at this juncture, it was impossible to have no intentions.

To enter the Tenth Academy, one needed not only exceptional talent and formidable combat power but also sufficient trials and tribulations.

An opportunity for a trial lay before him: the Earth Evolution Trial.

No wonder so many people had come for this trial this time. Asta must have come because of this news as well.

Lu Yin felt a sense of unease. Firstly, he didn't know what Asta's so-called mission was. Secondly, if no students completed the mission within three months, a second batch of trial students would descend.

With the Tenth Academy about to appear, many people sought trials to enhance their qualifications, including those from powerful clans and prestigious families. The Earth Evolution Trial was undoubtedly attractive. The second batch of trial students might bring immense cruelty to Earth.

Lu Yin grew anxious. The first batch of trial students were at least in the Probe Realm. If a second batch arrived, perhaps even stronger individuals would come, and his own strength might not be enough to protect himself.

These thoughts made Lu Yin agitated. He had to reach the Probe Realm within three months, or he would be reduced to an ant.

A night passed. The next day, the army set off again, heading north.

Lu Yin became even more silent, not staying inside the armored vehicle but lying on its roof.

In Wucheng, Hubei, the heartland of Huaxia, over ten million survivors had gathered. Even so, countless people were still arriving daily, all because one of the Seven Saints, the Saint of Light Liu Shaoge, was here.

When Doomsday descended, a batch of peculiar ores appeared around Wucheng, ores containing light. These ores would emit light when cracked open.

Based on these ores and his Battle Skill, Liu Shaoge protected the ten million survivors of Wucheng, earning him the title of Saint of Light.

Columns of light shot up into the sky around Wucheng, encircling the entire city. Because of this, Wucheng was also known as the City of Light, and some called it the City That Never Sleeps.

In the center of Wucheng, a piece of land was lifted by pillars of light, suspended high in the air. This was the Saint of Light's location, which many called the City of Heaven.

Below the City of Heaven was the Xing Camp, where a hundred thousand Evolvers guarded the Saint of Light's City of Heaven, gradually radiating outwards.

There were no grand palaces in the City of Heaven, only beautiful courtyards, exposed to the elements.

Anyone standing in the City of Heaven could gaze up at the starry sky.

At this moment, in a courtyard of the City of Heaven, a handsome and dashing young man stood at the edge, gazing into the distance. He raised a wine cup, took a sip, and a strange smile curved his lips. He was the Saint of Light, Liu Shaoge.

Not far from Liu Shaoge stood another young man. Though not as handsome as Liu Shaoge, his gaze was exceptionally arrogant, looking at Liu Shaoge as if he were an ant.

"Everything here is your resource, especially those light crystals. They can put you ten years ahead of others. You're wasting them," the young man behind Liu Shaoge said with displeasure.

Liu Shaoge turned his head and smiled at the young man. "Don't say that, Puyi. Everything here is ours to share, not just mine."

The man called Puyi's expression softened slightly. "Remove these light pillars. You're squandering resources."

Liu Shaoge nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to you. By the way, what did you mean about regional division? Can you explain it clearly?"

Puyi said indifferently, "Trials have their unwritten rules. As long as our batch of students controls a certain region, we can mark it as blue on the network. Generally, no one will attack a blue region in the early stages of the trial, unless they are enemies."

"So, Wucheng has already been marked as a blue region?" Liu Shaoge asked.

Puyi grunted. "Of course. Do you think I'm the only one who has approached this area these past few days? Trials are very brutal. Generally, no one will fight to the death in the early stages. Of course, one also has to consider each student's background. Coincidentally, my background is not weak, so no one will bother us after it's marked."

Liu Shaoge smiled faintly and nodded. "I see."

"Alright, I'll ask you, how is the matter I asked you to investigate coming along?" Puyi asked impatiently, then glanced at the light pillars, a flicker of pain in his eyes. "Hurry and turn off those light pillars, it's too wasteful."

Liu Shaoge smiled and poured wine for Puyi. "The matter you asked me to investigate has some leads."

Puyi's eyes lit up. "Really? Tell me."

Liu Shaoge handed the wine cup to Puyi. "Look at this cup of wine."

Puyi looked doubtfully, his gaze subconsciously drawn to it. There was nothing special, only the wine rippling, circle after circle, endlessly...

Liu Shaoge smiled and waited for a moment before speaking calmly, "Give me your personal terminal."

Puyi's eyes glazed over, and he took off his personal terminal, handing it to Liu Shaoge.

Not long after, Liu Shaoge closed the personal terminal and rubbed his forehead. "Trouble. It actually shut down the universe network. Does this mean it discovered I was controlling it? Never mind." With that, Liu Shaoge put on the personal terminal, a smile on his lips, and looked up at the sky with intelligent eyes.

Two days later, the Xing Camp army approached the front lines. If not for repairing communication lines along the way, they would have arrived long ago.

For these two days, Lu Yin had spent his nights staring at the moon, making Luo Yun think he had gone foolish.

The convoy suddenly stopped. Xu San said to Lu Yin, "Boss, no, I haven't seen any survivors since yesterday. And there should be soldiers monitoring the route. We've traveled for almost a day and haven't seen anyone."

Lu Yin stood up and looked into the distance. "The army will stop to rest."

Avoiding the others, Lu Yin opened his personal terminal and calculated combat power. Within a radius of one, two, and then ten li, Lu Yin shielded combat power below the Probe Realm. Finally, at a distance of thirty-seven kilometers, he detected Probe Realm combat power: one thousand eight hundred. This was the detected strength.

Lu Yin's expression turned serious. He took out a map. Thirty-seven kilometers away was an abandoned county town, and it was less than twenty kilometers from the front line, situated exactly between the front line and their convoy.

Lu Yin ordered the army to set up camp there and went north himself. He wanted to know if the Probe Realm combat power belonged to Mutant Beasts or humans.

After advancing less than ten kilometers, Lu Yin knew he didn't need to go any further. Ahead, an army of Evolvers was marching. The presence of an army meant that the abandoned county town ahead was a gathering place. This meant that the detected Probe Realm expert was one of the students who had descended upon Earth.

Lu Yin pondered for a moment and reinstalled Asta's personal terminal's tracking device.

The moment the tracking device reactivated, more than ten kilometers away from Lu Yin, a woman in white armor with waist-length hair changed her expression. She looked at her personal terminal, snorted coldly, and flew south.

In just a moment, a white figure appeared in the sky, hovering high above and coldly staring down at Lu Yin. "Classmate, this area has already been marked as blue by me. Please leave."

Lu Yin looked at the woman, his eyes lighting up. She was quite attractive. "Hello, classmate. My name is Asta, from the First Military Academy of Tata Planet in the Great Yu Empire." "I'm not interested in knowing. Leave immediately," the woman said indifferently, ripples of energy emanating from her body, pressing down.

Lu Yin quickly said, "Classmate, don't rush. I'm injured and not strong. I pose no threat to you, and I can give you resources, lots and lots of resources."

The woman's gaze was indifferent. "A mere Gaze Realm cultivator dares to join the planet's Evolution Trial? How did you get in?"

"My grandpa is the principal," Lu Yin said directly, his tone arrogant.

The woman sneered. "Scram."

Lu Yin immediately took out several Flame Crystals from his Void Ring and tossed them to the woman. "Help me survive the trial smoothly, and I'll give you a whole basket of these crystals when we're out."

The woman took them in surprise, feeling the warm touch of the Flame Crystals. She landed on the ground. "Where did you get these?"

Lu Yin pretended to be proud. "Of course, my grandpa gave them to me. My grandpa is a powerhouse who walks among the stars; he can get as many of these as I want."

The woman narrowed her eyes and clenched her fist, emitting a hint of killing intent.

Lu Yin warily retreated and glared at the woman. "Don't try anything funny. Although no one can interfere with the trial itself, they can still find out who lives and who dies, and who killed whom. You don't want to be hunted by my grandpa, do you?"

The woman thought for a moment, then relaxed her hand and said coldly, "I can help you walk out of this planet alive, but your trial results have nothing to do with me."

Lu Yin exhaled. "It doesn't matter. No matter what, my grandpa can get me into the Tenth Starry Sky Academy. You can have all the results."
