"Why go to the Capital City? Doomsday is here, everywhere is the same," Zhou Shan asked in confusion.
Lu Yin didn't mention the mission, only saying, "I want to find the truth about Doomsday, and that corpse."
Zhou Shan shook his head, "There's no need. That massive explosion turned tens of miles around the Capital City into dust. Although Doomsday descended after the explosion, some people rushed to the scene to investigate immediately, but found nothing. Do you think it's still useful to investigate there after so much time has passed?"
Lu Yin said solemnly, "Whether it's useful or not, I have to go."
Zhou Shan sighed and looked at Jinling City with a complex expression, "If you want to go, I can't stop you, but I hope you'll return to Jinling if you don't find anything."
Lu Yin nodded, "I will."
Zhou Shan took out a credential from his pocket, "This is my credential with the national army, and also my token of trust. The Seven Saints had an agreement that seeing this is like seeing me in person. Take it with you to the Capital City and find Zhang Ding Tian. He will help you."
"Zhang Ding Tian? One of the Seven Saints?" Lu Yin asked, confused. He didn't know much about the Seven Saints. Doomsday communications were intermittent, and his attention was focused on Liu Tian Ge. If he hadn't come to Jinling, he wouldn't even know that the Saint of Punishment's name was Zhou Shan. As for the Seven Saint in the Capital City, he only knew he was called the Blade Saint.
Mentioning Zhang Ding Tian, a strange expression appeared on Zhou Shan's face, "Lu Yin, I know you are very strong now, capable of suppressing aliens, but I still have to tell you, don't underestimate the Seven Saints. Don't measure the Seven Saints by my strength, especially the Upper Three Saints. Zhang Ding Tian is one of the Upper Three Saints, widely recognized as the leader of the Seven Saints."
Lu Yin was surprised. The leader of the Seven Saints? That was no ordinary title.
Zhou Shan said solemnly, "Since that corpse was brought back to Earth, Huaxia has secretly selected countless people in an attempt to inherit some legacies. The Seven Saints were the ones who succeeded. And Zhang Ding Tian is recognized by the Seven Saints as the strongest. His blade can suppress everything. Those students are very strong, but I absolutely do not believe anyone of the same level can defeat Zhang Ding Tian. Even the arrogant Luo Saint Bai Xue wouldn't compare herself to Zhang Ding Tian. Many people call him the Blade Saint, but his full name is Mad Blade Hua Sheng. He is Hua Sheng."
Listening to Zhou Shan's words, a blade and a domineering man inexplicably appeared in Lu Yin's mind, one person and one blade suppressing the Capital City.
"How do you compare to him?" Lu Yin asked, wanting a direct comparison.
Zhou Shan gave a bitter smile and held up one finger, "Except for the Upper Three Saints, anyone else facing him would only last one strike."
Lu Yin's gaze changed. Defeating Zhou Shan in one strike was terrifying. Zhou Shan's true strength surpassed Aoton and Granny, and he could fight Teres. This meant Zhang Ding Tian could defeat someone of Teres's level in one strike. According to Ye Ge, he should be among the strongest in each academy. Earth actually had such a person.
Lu Yin believed he could also defeat Zhou Shan in one strike with his Void Splitting Palm or Heavenly Star Palm. So, who was stronger between him and Zhang Ding Tian?
Taking Zhou Shan's credential, Lu Yin carefully put it away. Zhou Shan had done him a favor, hoping he would return to Jinling in the future. However, Lu Yin was destined to disappoint him; his future lay in the starry sky.
There were still two months until the second batch of trial participants arrived. Lu Yin hoped to find that corpse and confirm its identity within two months. His time was pressing.
"What? You want me to go to the Capital City with you? Impossible!" Granny exclaimed, immediately refusing.
Lu Yin said coldly, "You don't have the right to refuse."
Granny said anxiously, "Didn't you hear Ye Ge? Those going to the Capital City are the strongest from the academies. Those people are monstrously strong. I personally saw Willow crush Teres. He couldn't have defeated him with a sneak attack."
"I said, you don't have the right to refuse," Lu Yin said.
Granny was speechless and pleaded helplessly, "Asta, no, Lu Yin, you have no idea what the strongest in the academy represents. During the academy competition, Teres challenged Willow and was severely injured by one palm. The gap is too big."
"Ye Ge was also severely injured by my palm," Lu Yin said faintly.
Granny wanted to retort, but suddenly realized it was true. She had always positioned herself below Teres, which unconsciously lowered her evaluation of Lu Yin's combat power. But looking back now, this person in front of her seemed like a monster too. He injured Teres in the Gaze Realm and Ye Ge without being able to mobilize Star Energy. Granny took a few steps back, sizing up Lu Yin. She suddenly felt that this guy might indeed be comparable to the strongest in the academy.
Lu Yin had never used his full power against Granny, so she didn't know his true combat strength. However, even what he had shown was enough to amaze her.
"We leave tonight, for the Capital City," Lu Yin said lightly and left, giving Granny no room to refuse.
Granny was helpless. The universe and starry sky were boundless, with countless academies. Even the Great Yu Empire had many academies. The so-called trial missions were not something she could access at her level. Yet, she was now forced into another circle, the circle of those called the strongest.
Hebei, in the vast mountains, blood-red smoke rose straight into the sky like wolf smoke, dyeing the mountain streams red. Blood covered the rivers, and the pungent smell of blood attracted more and more mutant beasts. In an instant, the area was filled with wails as they were slaughtered.
The stream was dyed red. A short man stood in the river, washing his body. The several scars on his back had already scabbed over, and his firm muscles bulged.
On the bank, a man and a woman quietly observed him. "Bailie, if you keep playing like this, there won't be any mutant beasts left in these mountains."
The short man glanced at the bank and said coldly, "There are two Integrating Realm mutant beasts that I haven't provoked. I'll kill them before we go back."
The woman said faintly, "It's time to go to the Capital City of this country. That's where the chance of finding the fugitive is greatest. The corpse brought from Neptune to this planet is likely the fugitive."
A cold glint flashed in the short man Bailie's eyes, "Willow, where are the other two teams?"
The man on the bank was the strongest from the Empire's First Military Academy, Willow. The woman was the strongest from Blue Mountain Academy, Paris. These three were the elites that Ye Ge knew.
Willow replied, "According to the estimated locations, Gules and the others are in the grasslands, to the north of the Capital City. Ede and the others are in Shanxi. All are not far from the Capital City."
Bailie walked ashore, his energy vibrating, and his body instantly dried. "Let's go, to the Capital City."
The three left, behind them lay the corpses of countless dead mutant beasts, including many Heaven Rank mutant beasts.
Northern Huaxia, the endless grasslands swayed under the strong wind. From high above, they looked like green waves dancing in the sunlight, exceptionally beautiful.
On the grassland, a woman raised her hands high and took a deep breath, "So fresh, this is the smell of the grasslands."
Not far away, a two-meter-tall man with green skin glanced at the woman and said in a deep voice, "A smell of dung is nice? You're sick."
"Balaro, what did you say?" The woman's ears were sharp. She heard him and immediately glared angrily.
The green-skinned man Balaro quickly chuckled, "Nothing, it smells good, it smells good."
The woman said proudly, "Good that you know your place. Let's go, to the Capital City. I heard the people on this planet obtained a corpse from a Primeval Planet. It should be the fugitive."
"Okay," Balaro responded, then looked up. Ahead, the endless grass parted abruptly, as if it had a mind of its own, avoiding them.
Shanxi, two people wrapped in black robes walked slowly. Ahead was endless yellow earth, and occasionally strange and ferocious mutant beasts would emerge from the earth and then disappear.
Beneath the black robes, the eyes of one man, with scales on his forehead, were icy cold. With every step he took, the yellow earth became extremely dry, as if all its moisture had been sucked away. After a hundred meters, the land they had walked on completely cracked and turned into dust. All the mutant beasts inside were reduced to mere skins, their bodies drained of all moisture.
"I don't like this place. We should have landed in the ocean from the start."
"No choice. To complete the mission, we must go to the Capital City. I know you were born underwater, so try to endure it. We'll be able to leave soon."
"I've sacrificed so much. Whoever dares to stop me from completing the mission will be killed. Even if all the natives on this planet die, they cannot hinder me."
"Of course, no one can stop us."
Northeast, a sky full of ice and snow obscured their vision, a boundless white world stretched as far as the eye could see.
Amidst this endless white, a pair of red boots slowly stepped forward. With her back to the wind and snow, she revealed a face of unparalleled beauty that could topple cities, her eyes, as brilliant as stars, seemed to melt the frozen world.
She was Bai Xue, a Luo Sheng of Huaxia, by the Luo River, a beauty that could charm a city.
This was the Blue Camp, Luo Sheng's Blue Camp.
Three figures knelt on the snow, their faces contorted in extreme pain. One of them barely managed to look up, gazing at the impossibly beautiful woman before her with fear, his lips trembling, "You, a mere native, how can you be so strong?"
