Body Sculpting Technique

Lu Yin bent down to dodge, escaping a dozen meters away in a rather disheveled manner. On the spot, the factory building turned into ruins.

The young man soared into the sky, looking down at Lu Yin with cold eyes, his gaze arrogant. "Are you a native of this planet?"

Lu Yin's expression was solemn. A Heaven Rank expert!

"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?" the young man grunted. With a casual slash of his blade, a visible energy cut sliced through the ground, kicking up dust and smoke.

Lu Yin said seriously, "Are you an alien?"

The young man sneered, landing on the ground. He glanced at his wristband. "Combat power is only eight? Trash. Wait, a combat power of eight shouldn't be able to dodge my attack." He then looked at Lu Yin in surprise. "Are you specializing in **?"

Lu Yin asked, confused, "You're the alien, aren't you?"

The young man frowned. "You can call us that, for you natives. However, we prefer you call us Venerables."

"Venerables?" Lu Yin frowned.

The young man looked down. "This planet of yours has long been within our Great Yu Empire's surveillance range. To us, you are just nurtured natives. Of course, we are Venerables. Now, tell me, are you specializing in ** and have you cultivated ** to the Gaze Realm, or even close to the Probe Realm?"

"I don't understand what you're saying," Lu Yin replied.

The young man narrowed his eyes. He's right, he thought. How could this native planet know about realm classifications?

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he stared at Lu Yin. "Attack me. Let me see your strength."

Lu Yin clenched his fists. "Are you sure?"

The young man sneered. "I, Asta, am not so weak as to be injured by a native like you. Even if you can hide your combat power, you absolutely cannot reach the Probe Realm. Moreover, even someone in the Probe Realm can't compare to me. I will let you know what despair feels like."

Lu Yin drew his iron rod. "Then I'll attack."

Asta said arrogantly, flicking his fingers.

The next moment, Lu Yin charged rapidly towards Asta. The iron rod swept horizontally, cutting through the air, heading for Asta's neck.

Asta easily dodged, hands casually in his pockets, and teased, "Planet evolution truly can give birth to a batch of barbarians. Your attacks are fierce and decisive, going straight for the kill. That's good too; only this way can iron-blooded warriors be forged."

Lu Yin's iron rod blocked all of Asta's escape routes, each strike faster than the last. The fierce energy generated was like blades cutting into the ground, carving out streaks.

Asta was at ease. Seeing Lu Yin's strike coming, he raised his leg, his combat boot directly blocking the blade. His hands remained in his pockets, and he looked at Lu Yin arrogantly. "Combat power of three hundred and two. Not bad. Reaching the Gaze Realm solely through ** is not easy. Even our academy's Probe Realm students find it difficult to reach the Gaze Realm through **. I appreciate you. I'll give you a chance: follow me and become my slave. I can take you off this planet and let you see a different starry sky."

Lu Yin pressed his iron rod firmly against Asta's combat boot, his eyes filled with surprise. "A different starry sky?"

Asta said proudly, "Of course. I am a top student from the Great Yu Empire First Military Academy, an elite qualified and brave enough to apply for the planet evolution trial. If I successfully complete the mission, I can be admitted to a higher institution. Following me will be your lifelong honor. Of course, this also depends on whether there's anyone more suitable than you on this planet. Pray that you're not too disappointing. Haha." With that, he kicked the iron rod out of Lu Yin's hand with one leg.

Lu Yin watched as Asta was immersed in his superior arrogance. His gaze suddenly turned cold. His right palm twitched rapidly, and the air visibly rippled as if being grasped.

Asta initially paid no attention, but the moment he saw it, he was incredulous. "Wave Palm? How do you know it?" The next second, Lu Yin slammed his palm fiercely into Asta's chest. The airwaves pushed outwards, Asta's white light armor shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward. In mid-air, Asta struggled to look up, twisting his body forcefully and drawing a short blade to slash at Lu Yin. Lu Yin charged towards the blade, his right palm twitching rapidly again.

Asta gritted his teeth and roared, "You're not a native! You came from the starry sky!"

Lu Yin's eyes were cold as he unleashed another palm strike.

Asta let out a low roar and thrust his short blade, but it missed. Lu Yin's body disappeared; what he stabbed was just an afterimage. "Footwork combat skill?" Asta spat blood. The ring on his finger melted, forming pieces of armor that covered his entire body. With a bang, in the same spot, Asta was struck by a palm again. This time, a cracking sound was faintly heard.

One second after he was hit, the armor covered his entire body, but it was too late. His heart was completely pulverized, and his body crashed into a pit next to a spaceship, blood flowing down the ship's hull.

Lu Yin knelt on one knee, panting heavily. The veins on his right hand had burst, and his face was contorted in pain.

The Wave Palm was not something he could unleash in his current state. If it weren't to kill Asta, he wouldn't have risked his arm being crippled. Fortunately, the ambush was successful. He had waited a long time for this moment.

In that instant, he had used the Wave Palm twice and the Roaming Step once. His body trembled violently; it was overloaded.

He slowly walked to Asta's corpse and watched as the armor covering his body slowly disappeared, turning back into a ring.

Lu Yin took off the ring and put it in his embrace. This was a ring armor, a common protective device for many cultivators in the starry sky. Asta's ring armor was only the lowest grade, but it could withstand the attack of a Heaven Rank expert.

Besides the ring armor, Asta had a personal terminal on his wrist that tested combat power. It contained all his information, including his location.

Lu Yin took off the personal terminal, skillfully removed the positioning device, and put it into his own Void Ring. Finally, he scanned Asta, his eyes flickering, and finally fixed on the second knuckle of Asta's right hand. He directly severed it, and a chip fell out from the blood.

"It's really here," Lu Yin rejoiced. He picked up the chip. The reason he ambushed Asta, the reason he didn't become an evolutionist by absorbing energy crystals, was all for this thing.

Body Sculpting Technique: a chip condensed by a super expert using their own energy. Anyone who integrates it into their body can stimulate cells, cleanse the body, break through the limit, and directly absorb cosmic energy for cultivation. This is universally recognized as the most effective cultivation method in the universe.

As for swallowing and absorbing energy crystals for cultivation, it is merely an inferior method. It cannot directly absorb cosmic energy through the body, not only requires finding energy crystals but also makes it difficult to break through the limit.

Those who cultivate this way are called Wandering Soldiers in the universe, and many even call them—War Slaves.

The energy that can be directly absorbed in the universe is called Star Energy. The energy crystals within mutated beasts are also a form of condensed Star Energy, but they are too impure, and direct absorption is harmful.

Lu Yin came from the starry sky. To legitimize his identity, before coming to Earth, he did not cultivate using the Body Sculpting Technique, placing himself entirely in the perspective of an ordinary person. Now, on this planet, he had nothing to worry about. Planet evolution trial, anything is possible.

In the universe, anyone cultivating with the Body Sculpting Technique must register, or it is illegal. However, in the planet evolution trial, what is obtained belongs to oneself. This is a rule set by the Great Yu Empire Youth Council, and no one can violate it.

"This person is only in the Probe Realm, meaning this Body Sculpting Technique has been used twice. There's still one chance left. What a pity, I still need to continue searching," Lu Yin muttered to himself. He threw Asta into the spaceship and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a shadow covered the sunlight. Someone attacked from behind.

Lu Yin sidestepped, turned, and swept out a leg. With a bang, he collided head-on with the attacker. A Earth Rank expert! Lu Yin reacted instantly and retreated.

The attacker also retreated several steps, looked up, and a delicate face appeared in Lu Yin's eyes. It was a woman.

"Why did you attack me?" Lu Yin's tone was icy. Although he didn't sense any killing intent from the woman, an attack was an attack, and a sneak attack at that.

The woman glanced at the spaceship, her gaze fixed on Lu Yin. "I saw you throw that alien's corpse into the spaceship. Who are you? Why did you kill an alien? What do you know?"

Lu Yin sneered. "Why should I tell you?"

The woman said coldly, "I will make you tell me." With that, she drew a dagger from behind her and leaped towards Lu Yin. The dagger sliced through the air, emitting bursts of cold light.

Lu Yin nimbly dodged. In front of him, the woman's speed was not slow. The dagger flew, tearing through the air with whistling sounds. Each strike aimed for Lu Yin's vital points.

Lu Yin, through the cold glint, seized the opportunity and grabbed the woman's wrist. He reached for her abdomen with his other hand. The woman's brows furrowed. Her feet cracked the ground as she released the dagger and met Lu Yin's palm strike with her own. The air suddenly cooled. Lu Yin's eyes sharpened; his palm was freezing. "Combat skill?"

"You are no match for me. Speak," the woman grunted, and the temperature dropped again.
