Xu San saw Lu Yin get up and thought he was going to attack him. In the apocalypse, human lives were as cheap as grass, and he had no doubt he would be killed to vent anger. He quickly said, "Sir, I can work for you, do many things for you. Please don't kill me."
Lu Yin walked out of the restaurant without acknowledging him.
As Lu Yin passed by Xu San, the Evolver's fear reached its peak. He truly believed he was going to be killed. He had witnessed too many acts of slaughter by arrogant, powerful individuals. Gritting his teeth, he urgently said, "Sir, I have a Special Ability. I can help you."
Lu Yin suddenly stopped and looked at him in surprise, "What did you say? Special Ability?"
Xu San's face was pale. He whispered, "I, my eyes can see very far, several times farther than ordinary people. Because of this, I've been able to steal quite a few good things."
Lu Yin was amazed. He squatted down and stared at Xu San's eyes. He saw that the man's pupils were faintly separated. "Dual Pupils?" Lu Yin was truly surprised. This was a Talent, a Talented Cultivator that only one in countless cultivators in the universe could be born.
"Does anyone else know about your peculiarity?" Lu Yin asked, frowning.
Xu San shook his head and whispered, "I don't want people to think I'm a monster. I haven't told anyone. You're the first."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Name."
"Xu San."
"Good, Xu San. From today onwards, you will follow me. I will take you into Xing Camp," Lu Yin said calmly.
Xu San looked up in fear. "Are, are you going to dissect me?"
Lu Yin chuckled. "I won't, but others might. So, your Special Ability must never be exposed. Do you understand?"
Xu San nodded blankly.
Before stepping into the starry sky, one would never understand the importance of Talent. The Cosmic Youth Council was willing to directly recruit Talented Cultivators. This was something countless people dreamed of but could never achieve, showing how difficult it was. To Lu Yin, Xu San was a treasure, someone who would definitely be very useful in the future, and could even be sold for a good price.
With Xu San, a Local Tyrant, as his guide, Lu Yin toured Jinling for several days, including the Armory that had been destroyed before. However, there was no clue about what he was looking for.
"Boss, this is the peak second only to Zhong Mountain in Jinling," Xu San said to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin grunted. "Take a look. Where are the armies concentrated, besides Zhong Mountain?"
Xu San nodded, his gaze sweeping across the area. His pupils scattered, becoming even brighter.
After a while, Xu San gave a wry smile. "Boss, my eyes can see farther than ordinary people, but not so far that I can see the entire Jinling."
Lu Yin said calmly, "Practice more. You'll always improve."
Xu San was speechless and widened his eyes to look.
"Boss, do you see someone flying over from the horizon?" Xu San suddenly shouted, pointing to the high altitude in the East.
Lu Yin looked up, his gaze surprised. Someone was indeed flying over, and it was definitely not an Earthling. Like Asta, they came from the starry sky.
The person was flying very fast and descended directly above Jinling. He took a deep breath and let out a roar. Under the pressure of his violent power, an energy like a storm swept across Jinling.
At the same time, an Alarm Sound rang out in the Jinling settlement. Countless people looked up, staring in shock at the figure standing in the sky.
At Zhong Mountain, Feng Hong and other Commanders of Ten Thousand rushed out, their faces pale as they looked at the high altitude. "A Heavenly Rank Expert?"
Countless people stared blankly at the sky. The ability to fly was the mark of a Flying Rank Expert. When did Huaxia gain another Heavenly Rank Expert?
High in the sky, Aoton looked down at the Jinling settlement with an arrogant gaze. Like Asta, or rather, all those from the Universe, they regarded Earthlings as Savages.
"Respected Heavenly Rank Expert, why are you attacking the Jinling settlement? This is an area protected by Saint of Punishment," a voice came from within Zhong Mountain. Although it was a question, the tone was quite respectful.
Aoton sneered, "Saint of Punishment? Is that what you natives call yourselves? How audacious. The word 'Saint' is not for you to wield. Tell your so-called Saint of Punishment to get out here."
Millions of people in the Jinling settlement were terrified. The unfamiliar Heavenly Rank Expert brought a strong sense of hostility. This was an enemy.
Feng Hong and others had grim expressions. Others might not know, but they did. The person who came was definitely an Alien, just like the one killed a few days ago. Both possessed Heavenly Rank strength. Jinling was in trouble.
With a loud shout, Zhou Shan, carrying a three-meter Great Axe, soared into the sky, facing Aoton with a solemn expression. "I am Saint of Punishment Zhou Shan."
Countless people cheered. Saint of Punishment Zhou Shan was Jinling's protector.
Aoton said arrogantly, "You must have guessed my origin. I'll give you a chance to serve me. In the future, perhaps I can take you out of Earth and into the starry sky."
Zhou Shan narrowed his eyes. "I don't know your origin."
Aoton scoffed, "A mere native dares to play games with me? Asta landed in this area. Don't tell me you haven't seen him. Let me tell you, my Academy Ranking is much higher than his. Following me is more promising than following him."
Zhou Shan gripped his Great Axe. "We are Earthlings, not natives."
Aoton's lips curved. "It seems you're still unconvinced. I'll let you know the difference between natives and us Venerables." With that, a Sword suddenly appeared and stabbed directly at Zhou Shan.
No one expected Aoton to attack as soon as he spoke. Zhou Shan hadn't anticipated it either, but he reacted quickly. His combat experience was extremely rich. He raised the axe handle to block the long sword, then spun 360 degrees and slashed upwards from below. Aoton was startled. What a fast reaction! He couldn't help but take Zhou Shan more seriously. The long sword vibrated, blocking the Great Axe with one blow, but his body was sent flying back a hundred meters, his hands numb.
The shockwaves from the collision of the Sword and Axe formed an arc that slashed towards the settlement. Instantly, the ground was cut with a crack hundreds of meters long. Many people were affected and fled in terror.
"What great strength," Aoton exclaimed.
Zhou Shan wielded his Great Axe and slashed fiercely at Aoton. Aoton sneered, his body surging with energy. He blocked with his long sword, firmly parrying the blow from Zhou Shan's Great Axe.
Zhou Shan's gaze sharpened, and he narrowed his eyes, attacking again.
"You want to push me outside this settlement? Fine. I will make you submit," Aoton said. With that, his long sword clashed with the Great Axe again. His body was forced back by the immense power, and he flew directly out of the sky above the Jinling settlement.
Although the brief exchange had just occurred, it had shocked countless people. Humans could actually fight in the air, and each move was enough to split the earth. This was the power of gods!
Feng Hong and others watched with concern. Aliens wouldn't dare to land on Earth without preparation. They worried about Zhou Shan.
On another peak, Xu San trembled. It was the first time he had witnessed a battle between Heavenly Rank Experts, and it opened his eyes.
Lu Yin looked towards the outside of the city, listening to the faint rumbling sounds, his brow furrowed.
Every student who descended had Ring Armor, capable of defending against attacks from Heavenly Rank Experts. This put Aoton in an invincible position, and he believed himself to be victorious. However, Zhou Shan was one of the Seven Saints of Huaxia. These seven absolutely received the inheritance from the corpse on Neptune. Even if the inheritance was minimal, Aoton couldn't afford to underestimate it. The ability to stand on Neptune proved that the corpse possessed the power to roam the Starry sky; such a person's foundation was unfathomable.
Lu Yin could look down on all Evolvers on Earth, but he would never dare to underestimate the Seven Saints of Huaxia. Those seven had been cultivating even before the apocalypse.
A few days ago, when he saw Asta's corpse and the spaceship, Zhou Shan wasn't too surprised. Lu Yin observed this scene very carefully. Aoton might not necessarily win.
Not long after, earth-shattering roars echoed from outside Jinling City. Countless Energy Forces flew and shot into the Sky, tearing through the clouds before returning to calm.
Soon, Zhou Shan soared into the High Altitude. Although he looked a bit pale, he wasn't injured. He raised his Great Axe high, followed by the cheers of millions of Survivors outside Jinling.
"You stay here," Lu Yin instructed, then rushed towards Outside the City.
The battle location between Zhou Shan and Aoton wasn't far, just over twenty kilometers Outside the City.
When Lu Yin arrived, he saw the Ground turned into ruins and rows of burning high-rise buildings. On the Ground, clear Slash Marks stretched into the distance.
The zombies and mutant beasts that had been around had long since fled or turned to dust.
Lu Yin squatted down and touched a Slash Mark. There were still wisps of sharp Energy Force on it. This was the power of Zhou Shan's Battle Skill. The mutant vine he killed that day wasn't his Full Power; this was.
Not far away, White Shards reflected light.
Lu Yin picked them up, his gaze hardening. These were fragments of the Ring Armor. Aoton had lost miserably, even his Ring Armor was shattered. He didn't know if he was dead, but he probably wasn't. Otherwise, Zhou Shan would have definitely brought his corpse back to Jinling.
Lu Yin re-evaluated the strength of the Seven Saints of Huaxia. He didn't know the strength of the Upper Three Saints, but Zhou Shan might possess the battle power of a Probe Realm peak. The fact that he could shatter the Ring Armor was proof.
Noisy sounds came from the distance; it was likely other Commanders of Ten Thousand arriving. Lu Yin didn't want to encounter them and left directly.
