Robbery

After hearing Lu Yin's words, Zhang Ding Tian and Bai Xue exchanged glances. What he said was right; if he were also a trial student, he wouldn't do such thankless work.

"I actually suspect one person," Lu Yin spoke again, staring at Bai Xue. "Liu Shaoge."

Zhang Ding Tian and Bai Xue were surprised. "Why?"

"Hubei, where he is, was marked blue. You should know what that means," Lu Yin said calmly.

Bai Xue denied it. "My Northeast, including Zhou Shan's Jinling, is also blue. It doesn't prove anything."

Lu Yin looked at Bai Xue. "You are one of the Upper Three Saints and have the strength to kill trial students. Jinling was saved because of me; otherwise, it would have been controlled by students. Liu Shaoge is one of the Lower Four Saints, similar to Zhou Shan. Where did he get the strength to resist those students? Look for yourselves; there is more than one trial student in Hubei."

Bai Xue wanted to retort but couldn't find the words. Lu Yin was right; Liu Shaoge didn't have the strength of the Upper Three Saints and couldn't possibly fight those students.

Zhang Ding Tian pondered, sheathing his saber. "Without evidence, you can't convict someone. That applies to you, and it applies to Liu Shaoge too." With that, he left.

Bai Xue glanced at Lu Yin and left with a complicated look.

Granny came to Lu Yin's side, asking doubtfully, "Did Liu Shaoge really leak the information?"

"How should I know?" Lu Yin said casually.

Granny blinked. "Then why were you so sure just now?"

Lu Yin looked at Granny as if she were an idiot. "If I didn't sound sure, how would they believe me? When you're shifting blame, you have to be decisive and accurate. If you don't even understand that, all your years of study were for nothing." He then descended to his living quarters.

Granny's expression turned ugly. Shifting blame? This scoundrel was truly despicable.

The message Granny anonymously sent spread throughout the regional network. Many students who were in the thick of fighting in Europe immediately rushed to Tian Zhu.

Ede and Heidian quickly clarified, saying they were just passing by and happened to encounter Ku Seng of Tian Zhu, which led to a fight. However, no one believed their words, and more and more students appeared in Tian Zhu.

In the following days, Lu Yin watched the regional network like he was watching a movie from a peaceful era. Notifications kept appearing: who was defeated by whom, who died, and so on. Some students also rushed over from the Americas across the sea, but several were eaten by mutant beasts in the ocean. For a time, the messages on the regional network never stopped.

It wasn't until five days later that Ede and Heidian proved their innocence. The fugitive's belongings were not in Tian Zhu. Instantly, many students turned their attention to the Capital City.

Lu Yin sighed. What was coming would eventually come. Confusing the enemy's sight couldn't last long. The students who dared to participate in the trial were not fools; the Capital City was the most likely location.

Under these circumstances, Ede connected with many students and proposed controlling the Capital City while waiting for the fugitive. If the fugitive didn't appear within a month, they would all join forces to confront the second batch of trialists.

This proposal garnered support from many students.

The Starry Sky Tenth Academy was about to arrive in the Canglan Territory. It was conceivable that the second batch of trialists would include absolute powerhouses. The second trial might even be prepared for them. Many students, unsure if they could handle them alone, saw hope in Ede's proposal.

Many responded enthusiastically.

In the Capital City, Zhang Ding Tian and Bai Xue had grim expressions. They had also learned the news and knew things were bad. The Capital City would become a battlefield for the next half a month.

Zhang Ding Tian was strong, but his strength had limits. Moreover, he lacked Battle Skills. If he were surrounded, he wouldn't be able to protect the Capital City. Bai Xue was even less capable. Even if the Seven Saints gathered, facing so many students would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The moment Lu Yin heard the news, his expression also turned grim. In this trial, his identity was that of an Earthling. If the Capital City were allowed to be controlled, the effect he wanted to achieve would be greatly diminished. Furthermore, he had no intention of letting the fugitive go, nor of ignoring the items the fugitive left behind. In short, the Capital City was very important.

"Lu Yin, let's go quickly. The Capital City definitely can't hold," Granny urged Lu Yin anxiously.

Lu Yin's gaze was thoughtful. Currently, Earth's top combat power was at the level of Zhang Ding Tian and Ede, with Zhang Ding Tian being slightly stronger than Ede. With so many students attacking the Capital City, there would be more than one or two experts at Ede's level. To break the deadlock, he had to surpass this level. The only way was to increase his combat power, at least to the same level as Ede, to compensate for the difference in energy intensity and crush them with the Heavenly Star Palm.

Thinking this, Lu Yin said sternly to Granny, "You stay in the Capital City. I'll be back in a few days." He then flew towards the high altitude.

Granny gritted her teeth. She wasn't stupid. Was she supposed to stay in the Capital City and wait for death?

Just as Lu Yin was about to fly away from the Capital City, Bai Xue stopped him. "Are you trying to escape?" Bai Xue questioned Lu Yin.

Lu Yin said grimly, "I will return before the students attack the Capital City."

"Why should I believe you?" Bai Xue asked, her beautiful face filled with contempt for Lu Yin.

Lu Yin said indifferently, "There's no need for you to believe me. You can't stop me. Or do you want to fight me to the death before the battle with the students begins?"

Bai Xue clenched her fist.

"Let him go," Zhang Ding Tian's voice echoed, though he didn't show himself.

Bai Xue reluctantly descended back into the Capital City.

Lu Yin took a deep look at the Capital City and then flew away.

Not long after leaving the Capital City, Lu Yin looked at his personal terminal. "The closest one, it's you." With that, Lu Yin suddenly charged towards the west.

After Lu Yin left, Granny also left. She wasn't Lu Yin's servant. If Lu Yin hadn't been watching her, she would have slipped away long ago. Now was the perfect opportunity.

However, her thoughts were beautiful but couldn't be realized. Granny was sadly stopped by Bai Xue.

"On what grounds are you blocking me?" Granny angrily asked.

Bai Xue stared at her coldly. "Simply because you are Lu Yin's woman. He left, so you must stay."

"Who's his woman? Don't spout nonsense," Granny said angrily.

Bai Xue was helpless against Lu Yin, but dealing with Granny was very easy. In a short while, she froze her and threw her into Lu Yin's residence. Granny only thawed out after a long time.

"Damn Lu Yin, damn Ice Woman, damn native, unreasonable!" Granny cursed, furious.

Shanxi, closest to the Capital City. At that time, Shanxi was not guarded by the Seven Saints, so the strongest person in Shanxi was only at the Earth Rank. Despite this, a group of Evolvers had gathered in Tongcheng, Shanxi, making it one of the largest gathering places in the entire province.

Lasser was a very optimistic and easily satisfied person. Although he was the second strongest in the Great Yu Empire's Gailu Academy, he had no ambition to complete his mission. He just wanted to occupy a region and mine properly. Getting some results would be enough to report, and he had no intention of causing trouble.

Lasser spent the two months of the safe period happily. Upon arrival, he took Tongcheng as an Earth Rank, no, a Heavenly Rank expert, becoming its protector. He enjoyed the worship of countless people, occasionally helping these pitiful survivors fight monsters. Most of the time, he lived a very comfortable life. Especially after discovering peculiar mineral deposits recently, which could significantly boost his performance report, Lasser was very happy.

Facing the sun, drinking a small cup of wine, Lasser squinted and hummed a hometown song. "It's still good to be on this Primeval Planet. The air is fresh, the people are simple, no one is watching, you can do whatever you want. Occasionally find some precious minerals to polish your resume, hiss, this life is amazing, hahahaha."

After admiring himself for a while, Lasser beckoned with his finger. Two beautiful young women approached. One massaged Lasser's shoulders, while the other massaged his legs and poured him wine. Lasser let out a sigh of relief. "Ah, this is the life."

Just as Lasser brought the wine glass to his lips, the sunlight above him was blocked. Lasser frowned and looked up. Before his eyes was a man of ordinary appearance, who looked very young, hovering in mid-air and staring at him. Huh? Probe Realm?

Lasser's expression turned serious. He waved the two clearly frightened young women away and glared at the man. "Who are you?"

"Robbery," the man said two words.

Lasser stared blankly at the man. "Uh, what did you say? Say that again."

The man was naturally Lu Yin. He knew there was only one way to increase his strength in the shortest possible time: absorb Star Energy as quickly as possible. And robbery was the fastest method. "I said, robbery."

Lasser was amused and angry. "Kid, you look like a trial Student too. How could you be so blind? Do you know who I am to be robbing me? Let me tell you, I'm..." Lasser's words were cut short as a sharp pain erupted in his abdomen. He was blasted away by a terrifying force, crashing directly into the ground and creating a massive crater.

Inside the crater, Lasser coughed a few times, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face was deathly pale as he looked up. "That was? Void Splitting Palm? Damn it, where did this freak come from?"
