Zhou Shan rolled his eyes, "That's not something I said, it's something everyone agrees on. Bai Xue is known as the most beautiful woman in all of China, bar none. Celebrities, internet celebrities, socialites, and school beauties can't even compare to a single finger of hers." Zhou Shan laughed strangely, "I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing her, I'm convinced. This woman was born to be worshipped, and it's not an exaggeration to call her a goddess."
Lu Yin laughed, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Goddess?
What arrogance, a native will always be a native. If you see Starsibyl, you'll kneel and lick her feet, "Jeraldine suddenly interrupted.
Lu Yin sneered, "I don't want to hear the word 'native' coming out of your mouth again. Go guard the door."
Jeraldine snorted and left, not daring to challenge Lu Yin again.
Zhou Shan felt awkward; it wasn't good to be overheard by another woman.
"Brother Zhou, please continue," Lu Yin said.
Zhou Shan coughed, "There's not much to say. Liu Shaoge is handsome, and Bai Xue is beautiful. They're a perfect match."
"What about their strength?" Lu Yin asked curiously.
Zhou Shan shrugged, "Liu Shaoge and I are both Four Lower Sages, while Bai Xue is one of the Three Upper Sages. Although it's said that Liu Shaoge is cautious and good at hiding his strength, he can't be much stronger than me."
Lu Yin nodded in understanding.
Zhou Shan's words implied that he didn't know much about Liu Shaoge, but Lu Yin could tell that he had a good impression of Liu Shaoge. The title of Light Saint was an extreme praise, and Liu Shaoge's image was perfect. Outside of Lu Yin, who had survived by chance, only the dead could understand Liu Shaoge's darkness.
Lu Yin had originally thought that Liu Shaoge was his only enemy, but if Bai Xue really did have an affair with him, the number of enemies would increase.
That was how society worked, and Lu Yin tapped his finger on the wall as he fell into deep thought.
It wasn't until evening that the beast tide completely retreated.
Lu Yin left Nanjing after dark. He didn't have many fire crystals left, and he needed to dig up some more.
Moonlight shone down, illuminating the cold land. Aside from the scalp-numbing chewing sounds from the darkness, only the howling of the wind could be heard.
When he arrived at the fire crystal mine, he saw a silhouette standing there quietly. It was a man with short silver hair, and he was looking up at the moonlight with a dazed expression.
Lu Yin's expression changed the moment he saw this person. Aside from the long-haired Corpse King, the flame crystal, and the sinister skeletal eye, was this person here on purpose?
Lu Yin didn't know that there was someone here, so he didn't try to hide himself. Naturally, the silver-haired man noticed him.
"Who are you?"
He didn't know how strong this person was, but he had a feeling of extreme danger. He didn't want to get too close to this person, and the skeletal eye kept circling in his mind.
The silver-haired man looked at Lu Yin and smiled faintly. Coincidentally, the moonlight was covered by a layer of clouds at this moment, causing the land to sink into darkness.
In that instant, Lu Yin felt his scalp go numb. A white light flashed in the darkness, and he used the Roving Step to quickly retreat. At the same time, he punched out with his right palm, causing stars to appear. A pair of cool eyes flashed with surprise as the white light spun rapidly and collided with Lu Yin's right palm.
Vaguely, Lu Yin saw that the white light had come from a beautiful butterfly knife.
The blade tore through the air at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, completely repelling the power of Sirius' palm.
There was a loud bang, and the air distorted as the two retreated at the same time.
Moonlight peeked out once more, illuminating the land and illuminating the two.
Lu Yin's expression turned serious; this person had blocked Sirius' full force attack.
The silver-haired man was surprised and scratched his head, "Um, I'm sorry, I thought you were a zombie, so I attacked. Sorry, sorry, haha."
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and stared at the man, his lips curling up, "You're welcome, I also thought you were a zombie, so I attacked. Fortunately, I didn't use my full strength, so I didn't hurt you."
The silver-haired man raised an eyebrow, "No, no, how could you hurt me? Although I barely used a third of my strength, it was more than enough to block your palm, haha."
Lu Yin looked at his own palm and smiled, "Sorry, I remembered wrong, I only used a quarter of my strength. Fortunately, I didn't hurt you."
The silver-haired man laughed, "Well, I also remembered wrong, I only used a fifth of my strength."
"Is that so? I don't believe you, want to try again?" Lu Yin challenged.
The silver-haired man quickly waved his hands, "No, I'm an elegant gourmet, I don't fight. By the way, what are you doing here?"
"Looking for a classmate, I arranged to meet her here," Lu Yin said indifferently.
The silver-haired man grunted, "Me too, I remember there's a Jinling nearby, but it's marked blue. Could it be your classmate's doing?"
Lu Yin nodded, "It's her."
The silver-haired man sighed regretfully, "I see, I wanted to go and have some fun, but forget it, you can continue waiting, I'll be off." With that, he turned and left, quickly disappearing.
Lu Yin looked at his gadget and confirmed that the silver-haired man had left before letting out a sigh of relief, his expression unprecedentedly solemn. His Sirius Palm had been blocked, and he had used his full strength after breaking through to the Sentinel realm. He had no time to hesitate; he had indeed used his full strength, but it had still been blocked. Just who was this person?
Such a powerhouse had actually appeared in the first batch of trialtakers.
Lu Yin walked to the side of the ditch and looked at the location of the flame crystal mine. That person had been standing there since the beginning, and this was where he had picked up the eye. This person was likely the owner of the eye.
Lu Yin recalled all the symbols he had seen in the universe, but there was no such thing as a vertical eye.
When he had first picked it up, he had felt that he had come into contact with something incredible, and this feeling was even stronger now. Although the silver-haired man was a Sentinel, Lu Yin could tell that he hadn't used his full strength in that exchange. He was unfathomable.
On the other side, the silver-haired man was flying under the moonlight, a strange expression on his face. His killing blow had been blocked, "A Sentinel student actually managed to block my attack. Interesting. I thought such a person would only appear in the second batch, but I didn't think there would be one in the first batch as well."
Yuxiang, the border between the Su Province and Anhui Province.
Ever since the main force of the camp had been concentrated in the west, this place had become the frontline with five captains and 30,000 cultivators. Along the way, they had saved many survivors and added many more to their ranks.
There were now close to 40,000 cultivators on the frontlines, and a new captain had been added.
The commander of the frontlines was Feng Hong, the only person Lu Yin was familiar with.
Everything had been peaceful at the frontlines, but on this day, a figure appeared in the sky and looked down at Yuxiang. Tens of thousands of cultivators looked up.
Nanjing, Lu Yin looked at the map. The distance between Nanjing and Wucheng was just too great. There was an entire province in between, and there were countless zombies, mutant beasts, and even cultivators who dominated the region. It was just too far away.
It would take at least a few months for the camp to open up a path to Wucheng.
Wucheng was now marked blue, so even if they fought their way there, they would probably face alien students.
At this moment, Luo Yi hurried over, "Hidden Sage, there's news from the frontlines. The camp has been routed, and everyone has been controlled. Feng Hong and the other captains have been captured."
Lu Yin was shocked, "Did aliens take action?"
Luo Yi nodded, "The soldiers who escaped reported that the attacker left behind two words: Ye Ge of Blue Mountain Academy."
"Tell Jeraldine to come over," Lu Yin said.
Jeraldine arrived quickly.
"Go, contact Ye Ge through the gadgets of students from Blue Mountain Academy. He's in control of the camp's frontlines," Lu Yin said.
Jeraldine nodded and took out the gadgets of the two students from her cosmic ring. She tapped a few times and a screen appeared in front of her, showing a young man smiling at her.
"Long time no see, Miss Jeraldine. I never thought we'd meet here. I'm Ye Ge, a student of Blue Mountain Academy," the young man said politely.
"You know me?" Jeraldine was puzzled.
Ye Ge smiled, "You're a famous beauty from the First Military Academy. Blue Mountain Academy isn't far from your academy, so of course I know you."
"Did you arrange for those two to ambush me?" Jeraldine asked coldly.
