Broken Blade Meets the Challenge

That evening, Ede was thrown back into the dungeon, replaced by the young master Ras.

This person's identity was truly not simple. Students contacted Lu Yin one after another, expressing their willingness to pay a price for him, but Lu Yin refused them all. The value of this young master Ras was not something that mere resources and crystals could compare to.

Ras was roughly thrown onto the ground. Not far away, Huaxia Evolvers were building defensive walls.

"Gulles, why are you here too?" Ras exclaimed in surprise, looking at the woman not far away.

Gulles smiled at Ras, "Sorry, Senior Ras, I was captured too."

Ras was furious. That little girl was lying with her eyes open. How did she look like she was captured? Wait, "Are you the one orchestrating this group behind the scenes? No wonder you dared to kidnap me. You have quite the nerve. Don't think you're safe just because your brother is protecting you. My father is Sika."

Gulles blinked her innocent big eyes, "Senior Ras, don't wrongly accuse me. I don't have the ability to lead them. If you don't believe me, ask someone else. I was also robbed by him."

Ras didn't believe her at all. He refused to believe that mere Natives would dare to attack him. Although that Native's strength was unexpectedly strong, so what? Without a certain background, even the best Talent was just an ant.

"Another student is approaching," Granny exclaimed.

Lu Yin and the others all looked into the distance. A figure rapidly approached, finally hovering above the Capital City, looking down at Lu Yin and the others.

Seeing the newcomer, Ras rejoiced, "Senior Mono, it's Senior Mono! Senior, I'm here!"

Gulles's expression changed, "Why him? He came too."

Lu Yin asked curiously, "You know him?"

Gulles said gravely, "Mono, an elite expert from Yu Tang. He once contended with my brother. Although my brother doesn't take him seriously anymore, he is one of the few Integrating Realm students in Yu Tang."

Hearing Integrating Realm, everyone's hearts sank. The second batch of trial students would definitely have Integrating Realm experts. Huo Xiao Ling was one of them. Everyone originally thought it would be difficult to encounter an Integrating Realm expert, but they didn't expect to find one here.

Mono scanned the Capital City from above and saw Ras. His eyes lit up. His purpose for coming was Ras. Ras's father was Sika. As long as he saved Ras, he could latch onto Sika's grand ship, and his future in the Great Yu Empire would be secure.

"Native, release Young Master Ras!" Mono roared. The airwaves scattered the clouds and pressed down, striking fear into countless Survivors.

Ras rejoiced.

Lu Yin frowned and was about to make a move. So what if he was in the Integrating Realm? An Integrating Realm expert whose cultivation was sealed might not be able to defeat him.

Just then, Zhang Ding Tian stepped out, his gaze calm, "This one, leave it to me."

Lu Yin's eyes flickered. Ever since he saved everyone a few days ago, Zhang Ding Tian had rarely acted. When students came, Lu Yin would defeat and capture them. Granny, Gulles, and the others focused their attention on Lu Yin. Even Ede and the others had almost forgotten that Zhang Ding Tian was a Transcending Realm expert, the first among the Seven Saints. He had his pride. The Capital City was originally his territory to guard, but now it was being protected by others. Zhang Ding Tian had endured for a long time, and now that his injuries had recovered, he was eager for a fight.

Bai Xue looked at Zhang Ding Tian with concern. These alien students' Battle Skills were unpredictable, and their application of power far surpassed theirs. Zhang Ding Tian could crush ordinary students, but he was now facing top-tier experts.

Ras sneered. If it were Lu Yin, it would be somewhat interesting. A mere Native dared to challenge an Integrating Realm expert. Even if the Integrating Realm expert's cultivation was sealed, he was still not comparable to an ordinary Probe Realm cultivator. A mere Native.

Lu Yin nodded, "Be careful."

Zhang Ding Tian's gaze sharpened. He raised his long saber and soared into the sky, facing Mono directly.

Gulles's eyes lit up. Ras and the others didn't know, but they, the first batch of trial students, did. Back then, the biggest threat to Huaxia wasn't Lu Yin, but this first among the Seven Saints, a rare Transcending Realm expert who guarded the Capital City alone with his saber. Even she had retreated from his brilliance.

Mono looked down arrogantly at Zhang Ding Tian, who had soared into the sky. "Native, get lost." As he spoke, he casually waved his hand, and surging Star Energy swept out. Unlike ordinary Probe Realm cultivators whose power was dispersed, it was concentrated in one direction. This was unconscious control, and it also showed that Integrating Realm experts had long mastered the use of Star Energy.

Zhang Ding Tian's gaze was firm. He raised his saber and slashed horizontally. Following the long saber, his slash tore through the Star Energy and headed directly for Mono.

Mono, who had initially disregarded Zhang Ding Tian, changed his expression. He raised his hand and probed forward with a claw, shattering the slash. "Interesting. A mere Native actually possesses strength comparable to ordinary Yu Tang members. No, slightly exceeding ordinary Yu Tang members. You, a Transcending Realm expert?"

Facing Mono's increasingly surprised expression, Zhang Ding Tian raised his saber and slashed again, but it was shattered by Mono. Zhang Ding Tian possessed Transcending Realm combat power, stronger than Ede, and enough to fight Ras. However, facing this Integrating Realm expert Mono, whose cultivation was sealed, his attacks had no effect. Mono was a true Integrating Realm expert. Even though his cultivation was sealed and he couldn't unleash his Integrating Realm power, his application of Star Energy and Battle Skills remained, which Zhang Ding Tian couldn't match.

With a clang, Mono's probing palm turned into a claw. A loud sound struck the saber's edge, causing a slight crack to appear on the blade. The force spread along the long saber to Zhang Ding Tian's arm, shattering his sleeve entirely.

Originally, Mono intended to shatter the long saber with this strike, but he failed. At the critical moment, Zhang Ding Tian miraculously diffused some of the force, both preserving his long saber and avoiding more serious injuries.

Zhang Ding Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated. He raised his long saber high and let out a roar. A terrifying slash flickered unstably. His body inexplicably disappeared, leaving only an afterimage in its place.

"Roaming Step?" Lu Yin exclaimed. Zhang Ding Tian had actually learned Roaming Step.

Everyone stared blankly at the sky. Two Zhang Ding Tians?

Ras's mouth hung open. No way, a Native was actually fighting evenly with Mono? Mono hadn't been able to defeat him even after using Heavenly Beast Claw. How was this possible? When did Natives become so crazy? A Transcending Realm expert? A Native planet actually had a Transcending Realm expert.

In the high altitude, Mono's gaze turned cold. He waved his hand to disperse the afterimage and swept out with a kick. Fierce winds raged, distorting the air. The shockwave hit the ground, shattering it. Just then, Zhang Ding Tian appeared beside Mono and slashed out with his saber, striking Mono in front of everyone's eyes.

Countless people held their breath, watching this scene in shock, including Gulles and the others. This was Transcending Realm combat power, capable of fighting Mono. This Zhang Ding Tian was truly defying the heavens.

The long saber passed through, but there was no sensation. Zhang Ding Tian's pupils contracted. The figure of Mono in front of him disappeared. He instinctively blocked behind him with his saber. With a clang, the long saber shattered. A terrifying force struck Zhang Ding Tian, smashing him into the ground.

Silence fell upon everyone. In the sky, Mono appeared, his expression grim. A mere Native had not only forced him to use Heavenly Beast Claw but also his footwork Battle Skill. Unbelievable.

Everyone looked towards the ground outside the city. Dust billowed towards the sky.

Gulles let out a sigh of relief. That's more like it. If this Native had defeated Mono, it would have been truly mind-boggling. No matter how strong Natives were, they couldn't defy the heavens, right?

"It's your turn," Gulles said to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin pointed outside the city, "It's not over yet."

"Do you want him to die? Natives can't defeat Mono, they can't even injure him," Gulles said.

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, "I really dislike the word 'Native'."

"Hmph," Gulles turned her head away.

Zhou Shan and Wu Sheng also appeared, looking worriedly outside the city.

Bai Xue clenched her fists, cold air radiating from her body.

Ras stared blankly at Bai Xue. He had noticed this woman earlier. She was too beautiful. He had originally planned to take her back as a maid, but what was this? Cold air? Ice? Talent? Damn it, what kind of Native planet was this? Even Talented Cultivators appeared, along with Transcending Realm experts, and that pervert who defeated him. Anything was possible here.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Zhang Ding Tian appeared before everyone's eyes, holding a broken saber. He was covered in wounds but stood firm, gazing resolutely at the high altitude as he slowly ascended.

Mono raised an eyebrow. "Got some guts. What's your name?"

"Zhang Ding Tian."

Mono praised him. "Follow me, and I'll bring you into Yu Tang. You're qualified. What do you say?"

"Not interested," Zhang Ding Tian replied coldly, gripping his broken saber.

Mono chuckled. "You want to fight me with just this broken saber? Let me tell you, the gap between us is unbridgeable. You can only fail against me."

"That's not necessarily true. Zhang Ding Tian, here's something for you," Lu Yin shouted from below. He tossed Gulles' Ring Armor over. Zhang Ding Tian subconsciously caught it, looking at Lu Yin in confusion.

Lu Yin said, "Your fight was never fair. He's Integrating Realm, and you're only Probe Realm. Don't be stubborn."

Zhang Ding Tian's eyes flashed. He put on the Ring Armor, and the next moment, it covered his entire body, crackling with lightning.
