Lu Yin stared coldly at Gulles, "Say it again, help me apply the medicine."

Gulles gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Fine, remember this, I'll settle this score with you one day." After speaking, he smeared the ointment on his hand and pressed it onto Lu Yin's back.

A wave of coolness washed over him, and Lu Yin exhaled. The healing medicine produced by Three Leaf Clover Company was indeed effective, and the wound quickly scabbed over.

Gulles' small hands were soft and boneless, and combined with the cool ointment, Lu Yin truly enjoyed the sensation. His gaze towards Gulles softened a little.

"Hmph, get up, let's continue robbing," Gulles said.

Lu Yin raised his hand and tossed the Void Ring to Gulles, "No more robbing, it's enough. Go play by yourself."

Gulles said anxiously, "No, Ede hasn't appeared yet, we must rob him."

Lu Yin smiled and ignored her. Those people hadn't really taken him seriously before, thinking one strongest student from an academy would be enough to deal with him. But now, seven of them appeared at once. If he robbed again, he would definitely encounter such a lineup. Only a fool would go.

Lu Yin turned over the Void Rings of the five students and found two cubic meters of Star Energy Crystals. He waved goodbye to Gulles and soared into the sky.

Gulles suddenly shouted, "Bastard, my armor, my bow and arrows."

"Borrowing them for now, I'll return them later," Lu Yin's voice grew fainter until it could no longer be heard.

On the spot, Gulles stomped his feet in anger. His armor and bow and arrows were given to him by his brother for self-defense. It was precisely because of the armor and bow and arrows that he could make Ede wary. Now that they were all stolen, that bastard, that shameless and despicable scoundrel.

In the Capital City, Zhang Ding Tian and a few others also saw the battle records on the regional network.

Bai Xue was shocked. The students from the starry sky were all Heaven Rank, and those who dared to complete the mission were at least the top three strongest in their academies. Nearly half of them were the strongest in their academies. She had personally witnessed the strength of the strongest students, and now seven of them had been defeated at once. How had this Lu Yin become so strong in just a few days?

Zhang Ding Tian suddenly looked up towards the south of the Capital City, a rare smile appearing on his face, "An old friend has arrived."

Bai Xue's eyes lit up, "Is that, Zhou Shan?"

The two of them quickly flew towards the south of the Capital City, but then suddenly stopped halfway, looking towards the north, "Another old friend has arrived. It seems they all want to get involved in this muddy water of the Capital City."

Bai Xue was pleasantly surprised, "Wu Sheng is here too, that's great."

Zhang Ding Tian took a deep breath, "They shouldn't have come. The Seven Saints have four members, plus Lu Yin, five people against dozens of trial students. It's truly a battle of vastly unequal forces."

In the distance, Lu Yin found a remote mountain village. He set up Flame Crystals around the area, took out a large handful of Star Energy Crystals, and crushed them directly. Instantly, surging Star Energy erupted. Lu Yin circulated the Heavenly Star Art and began to absorb it.

To the west of the Capital City, Ede and more than ten other students appeared, "Everyone adjust your state. Three days later, we will officially attack the Capital City. Our opponents are not the natives guarding the Capital City, but the second batch of trialists who are about to appear. According to the rules, even if a Integrating Realm expert appears among the second batch of trialists, their power will be sealed, and they can only exert Probe Realm strength. Even so, they are not someone ordinary people can contend with. Everyone, be prepared."

All the students were solemn.

The Great Yu Empire's planetary trials rarely had a second batch of trialists. This time, it was purely because of the Starry Sky Tenth Academy. Many hidden geniuses temporarily participated in the trial for the sake of their results. This was the reason for the second batch of trialists. Some of them came to Earth, and they would soon face such geniuses.

More and more students approached the Capital City.

In the south of Huaxia, more than a dozen students appeared on the sea and landed tiredly, "We've finally reached Huaxia. Ede and his gang are organizing people to snatch the fugitive's belongings. We'll make a move too, we can't let him get ahead."

In the East and North, batches of students appeared one after another. Huaxia was in turmoil.

When the sun illuminated the land on the third day, Zhang Ding Tian stood on the steel city wall, looking solemnly into the distance. A black silhouette appeared.

At the same time, in the distance, Lu Yin opened his eyes. In three days, he had absorbed five cubic meters of Star Energy Crystals and expelled impurities from his body. Now, his body was filled with surging Star Energy, much stronger than before. This was energy suppression. The more Star Energy absorbed into the body, the higher the energy intensity. He had definitely reached the peak of the Probe Realm, which translated to a combat power of—three thousand.

In these past few days, Lu Yin had robbed a total of seven cubic meters of Star Energy Crystals, using up five. Lu Yin looked at the remaining two cubic meters of Star Energy Crystals and couldn't resist the temptation. He took out his dice and rubbed his hands, "Come on, let's gamble. I hope I don't roll a one again this time, it's too much of a rip-off. It's almost impossible to steal anything good." As he spoke, he crushed one cubic meter of Star Energy Crystal.

The dim surface of the dice quickly changed, finally shining with starlight.

Lu Yin swallowed and extended his finger, gently tapping the dice. The dice spun rapidly. Lu Yin stared intently, his eyes wide open. Finally, the five faces of the dice disappeared, leaving only one face—two points.

Lu Yin was excited. Two points, an unfamiliar number. Lu Yin stared intently at the dice. A black hole suddenly appeared below the dice and began to spin. The purpose inexplicably appeared in Lu Yin's mind, "Decomposition? Decompose everything?" Lu Yin was surprised. What did this mean?

Looking at the slowly rotating black hole, Lu Yin thought for a moment and casually threw a piece of scrap iron into it. In an instant, the scrap iron fell out through the black hole, no longer scrap iron, but a complete piece of iron, smooth on the surface, hard, and much smaller in volume than the scrap iron.

Lu Yin looked at the iron block and understood what decomposition meant. Any dead object thrown in would be decomposed into its initial materials.

This function was good, Lu Yin thought, and threw in a Void Ring, which he had snatched from a student. He had snatched several students' Void Rings and hadn't returned them because those students had gone too far.

The Void Ring passed through the black hole and dropped out a piece of dark red metal the size of a fingernail. Lu Yin was pleasantly surprised. This was Qiu Jin, the metal used to make Void Rings. It was one of the precious ores.

After putting away the Qiu Jin, Lu Yin threw all the snatched Void Rings into the black hole. He obtained a thumb-sized piece of Qiu Jin. Lu Yin thought for a moment, then threw the Qiu Jin into the black hole again. With a snap, a piece of metal that shimmered with a dark golden light fell out. Lu Yin's eyes widened. This was Qiu Jin Essence, its price far exceeding that of Qiu Jin. It was a necessary material for making super large Void Rings and was very expensive.

Lu Yin carefully put away the Qiu Jin Essence, his eyes excited, "Should I find a junkyard to decompose things from now on?"

After five minutes, the black hole disappeared.

The duration of this black hole was the same as the Time Stop Space, which could be exchanged for Star Energy Crystals. Lu Yin guessed that the exchange ratio was probably the same. He was quite troubled, feeling that no amount of Star Energy Crystals would be enough.

"Forget it, I'll find a way later," Lu Yin muttered to himself. He moved his body, making a clatter sound. He looked up in the direction of the Capital City, "It's time to go back." With that, he flew away with a bang.

Lu Yin rushed towards the Capital City, which was already in chaos at this moment. Millions of survivors looked up at the sky in fear. From time to time, an aftershock swept across the land, bringing disaster.

Ede, along with more than twenty students, attacked the Capital City. When this news spread, the war had already begun.

The steel city wall was destroyed immediately. Bai Xue stood outside the ruined city wall, panting. In front of her was Heidian, with a proud expression, and two students.

"Mere natives trying to stop us, overestimating yourselves," one student said disdainfully, his eyes burning as he stared at Bai Xue. This woman was too beautiful.

Another student's gaze was equally fervent.

They were all the strongest students in their academies. Any one of them could deal with Bai Xue, but because of her beauty, three of them had come. If there weren't so many people, many students in the distance would have been looking over.

Heidian frowned and looked at Bai Xue, "Woman, I'll give you a chance to surrender to us. I can take you off this garbage planet and truly explore the starry sky."

"Heidian, you don't plan on taking all the credit, do you?" the student beside him immediately said indignantly.

Heidian said arrogantly, there were also differences between academies. His strength surpassed the other two. Only Ede and Zhang Ding Tian could defeat him here. He didn't care about anyone else.

Bai Xue clenched her fists and slowly exhaled, her blue hair fluttering. Immediately, the ground froze, and the temperature around them plummeted.

The three students opposite her didn't care. This woman was at most comparable to the strongest in the academy; taking on three was unrealistic.

In the distance, Zhou Shan roared in anger, crashing to the ground simultaneously with a student. His strength was barely enough to handle one opponent.

More than a dozen figures hovered in the sky, looking down with arrogant disdain. They never worried about failure; it was just a native city.

"Wasting time. Attack," one of the students said proudly, raising his hand to press down on the Capital City. The air pressure dropped, and countless people were crushed, spitting blood as they looked up at the high altitude in despair.
