Jaeger smiled, "Of course not, I just wanted them to check if there were any other students nearby. What, did they attack you?
Don't worry, I'll teach them well. "
"No need, they've already paid the price," Jeraldine said coldly.
Lu Yin walked over to her side and looked at Jaeger.
Jaeger wasn't surprised to see him, "You're Nanjing's Hidden Sage?
You must be from outer space as well, or Jeraldine wouldn't be working with you. "
Lu Yin replied, "I'm Yata, a student of Pagoda Planet's Academy. My grandfather is the principal."
Jeraldine's face twitched; she hated those words; they were the reason why she had let her guard down around this bastard.
Jaeger froze, "What are you trying to say?"
Lu Yin showed a hint of pride, "I'm rich, release my people and I can give you a lot of resources."
Jaeger laughed, "Pagoda Planet?
Never heard of it, I don't care who you are, I just want to work with you. "
"Work with you?" Lu Yin was surprised.
Jaeger grew serious, "I found a gale crystal mine nearby, but it's been occupied by a group of mutant beasts. They're all Sentinels and will be difficult to deal with, so I need help."
"How much?" Jeraldine asked.
Jaeger shook his head, "I'm not sure, but a conservative estimate would be a few dozen cubic meters."
Jeraldine's eyes burned with passion; a few dozen cubic meters of gale crystals was quite a lot; most planets would only have a few cubic meters at most. She wanted to agree, but she held back and looked at Lu Yin instead.
Lu Yin replied, "I'm rich, I don't care."
Jaeger was stunned. He hadn't expected a student to reject his offer. This was a few dozen cubic meters worth of gale crystals, which was equivalent to at least a hundred cubic meters worth of star crystals. It was enough for someone to become proficient in a battle technique and even accelerate their progress to the Melder realm. It was definitely a considerable amount of resources.
Jeraldine secretly glared at Lu Yin; she wanted to go.
"But no one would complain about having too much money. Alright, we'll look for you in two days, but don't touch anyone from my camp," Lu Yin changed the topic.
Jaeger nodded. "Sure. Bring my two juniors with you. The more people, the easier it is."
Jeraldine immediately hung up after Lu Yin agreed.
"Is this Jaeger the powerhouse on the same level as Terence?" Lu Yin asked.
"I've heard of his name before. He's one of the top three students in Blue Mountain Academy. He might even be stronger than Terence."
"What's his family background like?"
Jeraldine was startled. "Family background?
I don't know. "
Lu Yin's eyes twinkled. He wasn't going there for the gale crystals. No matter how many of them he had, they couldn't be exchanged for star crystals on Earth, and they might end up in the hands of the Great Yu Empire. What he lacked right now were star crystals, and Jaeger should have some on him.
Jinling wasn't far from Yuxiang. Lu Yin had Jeraldine carry the two students from Blue Mountain Academy upside down, and it only took them half a day to reach their destination.
Tens of thousands of evolvers from Yu Xiang were trapped in the camp. Their weapons were confiscated, and they were being monitored by another group of evolvers.
He saw Feng Hong, the pitiful captain hanging from a tree.
A powerful wave of energy rippled through the entire camp, and when the two arrived, it swept out and caused the sky to tremble.
Lu Yin knew that this was Jaeger's show of strength, but he also wanted to test his own strength.
Not only was such a show of strength useless, but it would also expose his own strength. Jaeger's energy wave was powerful, even slightly stronger than Terence's, but Lu Yin didn't mind. A barking dog didn't bite, and only the silver-haired man's methods of killing were terrifying.
Jeraldine stepped forward and blocked Jaeger's energy wave, causing the air to distort and an invisible crack to appear in the ground that separated the camp from Lu Yin's group.
Feng Hong and the other captains looked up and saw Lu Yin, their eyes filled with shame.
Lu Yin didn't care about them, instead focusing on the man who was slowly rising into the air.
Clap! Clap!
"As expected of the belle of the military academy, Jeraldine's strength is amazing," Jaeger praised, his eyes filled with undisguised greed.
Jeraldine snorted, "Is this how Blue Mountain Academy treats its guests?"
Jaeger smiled, "I apologise for my rashness," he looked at Lu Yin with contempt. Lu Yin had just become a Sentinel, so his energy wasn't strong enough to attract Jaeger's attention.
"Can you two release my juniors now?" Jaeger looked at Jeraldine, assuming that she was the leader of the two.
The two captured students wanted to speak, but their mouths were sealed. They could only give him looks to remind him of Lu Yin's strength, but Jaeger didn't understand.
"That depends on your sincerity," Jeraldine said coldly.
Jaeger shrugged, "Alright, let's talk at the camp."
Soon, a few people appeared in the camp.
Jaeger took out a map and pointed to a mountain a hundred kilometres away, "The gale crystal is there, but it's surrounded by a group of mutated birds. There are at least five Sentinels in the group, which is what the natives call the Realm of Sky. There's also a group of Seekers, and there's a lot of them."
"What do you plan to do?" Jeraldine looked at Lu Yin and asked Jaeger.
Jaeger replied, "The five of us can deal with them, but it'll be too tiring. I've thought of a way to get the natives to lure the birds out, then use the planet's firearms to blow them all up."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, startling Jeraldine, "That way, the natives will be dead for sure."
Jaeger smiled, "It doesn't matter if they live or die, it'll be easy for us."
"Even if we don't send them to their deaths, we can still succeed," Lu Yin said calmly.
Jaeger looked at Lu Yin with amusement, "Brother Yata, the lives of these natives are not worth your attention. Once the trial is over, the evolvers among them will be sent to the battlefield. Some of the more talented ones might even become the slaves of influential students, while the pretty ones might become maids. The rest will just be cannon fodder, so there's no need to worry about them. Actually, it's better for them to die here, and they might even thank us."
Lu Yin did not say anything, as Earth's fate had already been decided long ago. From the moment the trial began, everyone on Earth had been under the observation of the Great Yu Empire and the Universe Youth Council. Only an extremely small number of people with innate gifts would be treated fairly, while the rest would be cannon fodder. Jaeger was right.
Jaeger looked at Jeraldine, "Alright, I've shown my sincerity. Can you let them go now?"
Jeraldine looked at Lu Yin, but he said, "Wait a moment, I have another question."
Jaeger's eyes flashed coldly, "What is it?"
Lu Yin looked at Jaeger, "You're a top powerhouse of Blue Mountain Academy, so why are you staying here instead of completing your mission?"
Jaeger was shocked, and he looked at Lu Yin and then at Jeraldine. He laughed, "I almost forgot. It's normal for people at your level to not have access to such information. Alright, I'll explain it to you." He then sat down and asked for several cups of tea to be served.
Lu Yin and Jeraldine sat down as well, accepting the tea and looking at Jaeger.
Ye Ge took a sip of tea and said in a low voice, "The students are divided into three classes. The first class consists of my two juniors. The purpose of their trial is just to show off to some people. It's like gilding. As long as they can survive the trial, their future will be glorious. The second class consists of us."
"Us?"
Jeraldine was shocked; she had thought that Jaeger, a top powerhouse of Blue Mountain Academy, wouldn't be in the same class as her.
Jaeger nodded, "You, me, and even Terence from your military academy are all in this class. Our goal is to achieve some results, such as conquering a territory, marking it blue, discovering precious minerals, and so on. Jeraldine, ever since you landed, has anyone told you to complete a mission together?"
Jeraldine shook her head, her expression solemn.
Jaeger smiled, "That's right, we're not qualified. Only one type of person is, and that's your academy's Veron and mine's Borise."
"The strongest in the academy?" Jeraldine was shocked.
Jaeger nodded, "There's no such thing as fairness in this universe. We need to be notified of the trial, but they're already aware of it. Plus, the strongest students in each academy have their own way of contacting each other. This is their sphere of influence, and we can't reach them. They've already formed an alliance before the trial began to complete their mission. Veron isn't in this area, right?"
Jeraldine looked bitter, "I didn't see him before the trial started."
