The owner hurriedly ordered someone to buy a copy for Lu Yin. This sort of list could be found throughout the Shenwu Empire, so it wasn't expensive.
Lu Yin left behind a martial crystal and left the restaurant.
If a trialtaker wanted to obtain results in the Shenwu Continent's trials, there were other methods besides the two fixed missions. Leaving one's name on the List of Tempering was one of them. After all, it was the most authoritative list for those below the Martial Emperor realm, and it was also a list for those below the Explorer realm. Leaving one's name on the list was enough to obtain some results.
Many people had come to the Outerverse trials during this period, and as long as one kept an eye on the list, they would be able to find a few. Lu Yin's goal was to find the Daynight clan and defeat them so that they could spend more time and effort on the Outerverse Youth Council.
The first place on the List of Tempering was hidden?
Lu Yin was shocked, as it was very rare for someone to be on the list to be hidden. The second place was Li Zimo, who was noted as Commander of the Ming Vanguard. The Ming Vanguard was the Ming Constables' organization that massacred outsiders. If this person could become a commander, then he was definitely extremely strong and should be comparable to the student leaders of the Astral Combat Academy. In terms of strength, he should be able to enter the top eight, as there was only one person from the Reverent King's Residence who was ranked eighth.
The third place was Grandmaster Dai, who was noted as Commander of the Demon Hunters Society.
Lu Yin laughed. It seemed that this List of Tempering was not just a way for Crown Prince Ming Hao to gather powerhouses, but also to show off the strength of the Shenwu Empire. The first place was definitely someone from the empire, and the top three were all official powerhouses of the empire. This was a huge blow to the remnants of the sects that had been wiped out a thousand years ago.
Lu Yin left Taicang City and headed west. He wanted to go to Ming Island, which was the center of the Shenwu Empire. All of the trialtakers would gather there.
Lu Yin's speed was quite fast, but the Reverent King's Residence was much slower. They would stay for two days at every city they passed, and this delay allowed Lu Yin to see the Reverent King's Residence's convoy in Bo City.
The army led the way, and many experts gathered to protect them. Ming Zhaoshu's Explorer strength swept out from time to time, intimidating everyone around him.
Lu Yin put down his wine cup and watched the convoy pass by below. Through the gauze curtains, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Ming Yan. Her stunning beauty could not be hidden.
The convoy quickly left. The next city was Shanhai City, the capital of Qiong Island, where the Reverent King's Residence was.
Lu Yin's Lu Yin's Residence's Residence.................
The sky above Shenwu Continent was dark and pure, and only the five sealing planets were enveloped by it. It was as if a giant pearl was hanging above Shenwu Continent, and it emitted a faint light.
.....................
At the same time, on the other side of Bo City, Ming Yan suddenly got up from her sleep. Her face was flustered, and her face was flushed red. She was dreaming again, dreaming of the day when the two of them met in the bathtub. It was so embarrassing. Thinking about this, she raised her head and looked at the starry sky. Her gaze was pure and natural, without a trace of impurity.
As she watched, her gaze dimmed. Perhaps, they would never meet again in the future!
A stranger whose name she did not even know had intruded into her heart because of an unforgettable event. This was impossible for a normal girl, but it was the same for Ming Yan. Ever since she was young, that person had been the closest to her, and he had given her an indescribable shock. She was shy, curious, and even a little resentful.
Ming Zhaoshu's head hurt. Ming Yan was helping Lu Yin hide the truth. He could understand her kindness, but she was still young and did not understand the impact this matter would have on her. This matter would affect her for the rest of her life, and in the future, it might cause her pain.
Ming Zhaoshu's gaze turned cold as he looked at the sky. If not for Ming Hao's people deliberately spreading the news, this matter would not have spread. Ming Hao.
Under the pure night sky, many people looked at the sky. Suddenly, a crack connected the heavens and the earth, and multiple figures appeared.
Ming Zhaoshu was shocked. Outsiders?
At the gates of Bo City, a heavenly globe rippled, and the figures that appeared from the spatial crack were repelled. They reflected the light, making them as conspicuous as light bulbs.
Countless angry shouts rang out, "Outsiders! Seal the gates and kill without mercy!"
"Kill them! They're outsiders!"
…
It wasn't just the government that acted, as many cultivators who were not loyal to the Shenwu Empire also acted. To the people of Shenwu Continent, outsiders were public enemies.
Lu Yin was shocked, as these people were too unlucky to have landed directly in the city. They must have been disturbed by the Shenwu Continent's experts just like him, which was why they had appeared in the city.
Boom!
There was a huge explosion as a fierce battle broke out in Bo City. Those who dared to participate in the Outerverse's trial were not ordinary people, and even the weakest of them were Limiteers. Furthermore, they were all Limiteers, and there was even an Explorer among them.
Ming Zhaoshu acted, as he was the only Explorer in Bo City.
High up in the sky, Ming Zhaoshu and the Explorer were locked in a fierce battle. Below them, many other battles were occurring in the city. The entire city had awakened, and they were all targeted at the outsiders. Their bodies were repelled by the martial power, and they could not hide at all.
In the blink of an eye, two people had been killed, and one of them had been less than a kilometer away from Lu Yin.
Suddenly, the heavenly globe above the city gates exploded. Lu Yin was shocked, as there was actually another person hiding who had not been detected by the heavenly globe. He took out the Giant Emperor's third eye and stared at the city gates. He could faintly make out a familiar figure rushing out and leaving Bo City. Was that Han Chong?
The heavenly globe had been destroyed, and the remaining trialtakers immediately hid. Only the Explorer was blocked by Ming Zhaoshu and could not leave.
Bang!
There was a tremor in the sky, and a strong gust of wind blew down, crushing many houses. The soldiers took out their shields to defend themselves.
"You natives dare to stop me? You're courting death!" A shout came from the sky, and a strange force pressed down. Ming Zhaoshu angrily shouted, "All outsiders must die!"
Lu Yin stood by the window and looked up. He had never seen that Explorer's battle technique before, as it was not from a power that he was familiar with. Ming Zhaoshu did not use any battle techniques, and he simply sent out palm after palm, using his martial power to increase his power level. His palm force was so vigorous that even the Explorer's battle technique was barely able to match it.
"How is this possible? How can your palm force be so vigorous? How can this space not be torn apart?" The Explorer was shocked.
Ming Zhaoshu snorted. "It looks like you don't understand Shenwu Continent. You have strength but no brains. You can die now."
"You're just a mere native!" The Explorer was enraged and attacked with all his strength.
There was a thump, and a shockwave swept through the area below. The shields that the hundred soldiers had used to block the attack instantly shattered, and a huge crack appeared in the ground. The shockwave swept out for thousands of meters and crushed countless houses.
At this moment, a bright light flashed above the five sealing planets. The next moment, the Explorer stopped moving as his body was cut in half, and fresh blood splattered onto the ground.
This scene was extremely shocking, as this attack had come from a planet, and it had instantly killed an Explorer.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. The five sealing planets had gathered almost all of Shenwu Continent's experts, and they were used to defend against the outsiders. That attack had definitely come from a Cruiser or even a Hunter, which was too terrifying. This trial was far more frightening than he had imagined, and there were countless dangers that could appear at any time. Even Explorers could be instantly killed.
Ming Zhaoshu looked up at the sky and snorted as he descended.
Lu Yin closed the window and took a deep breath before lying down on his bed. He silently warned himself to keep a low profile and not expose himself.
What had happened that night was just an interlude, as it happened all the time on Shenwu Continent.
The next day, Bo City's army skillfully sealed off the battlefield and treated the injured in an orderly manner. The city lord personally thanked Ming Zhaoshu and stood at the city gates as he watched the Reverent King's convoy leave.
Lu Yin left a few hours later. After last night's battle, Bo City's security had become even stricter. Fortunately, Lu Yin had stolen a household registration certificate, so he easily passed through.
Was Han Chong the one who had destroyed the heavenly globes last night?
Lu Yin thought about it, and that should be the case. That figure was too familiar, and the top four from the academy would all participate in this trial. Han Chong had arrived, and Starsibyl and Grandini Mavis should be there as well. Lu Yin wondered if he would be able to meet them in Ming City.
Shanhai City was the largest city on Qiong Island, and it had a huge moat. It had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and countless experts, and it was rumored that there were no less than ten people on the List of Tempering.
There were two hundred experts on the List of Tempering, and having ten of them in Shanhai City was already quite good.
Lu Yin had not been in Shanhai City for long when he heard that the Reverent King's Residence was recruiting experts to protect the convoy as it headed to Ming City. He was immediately tempted, and he headed towards the residence.
The Reverent King's Residence occupied the central area of Shanhai City. It was not a residence, but rather a large manor surrounded by mountains and rivers. The river that surrounded the residence was not much narrower than the moat.
The entire residence occupied a large area, and it was said that a normal person would not be able to walk to the end of it in a day.
It was Ming Zhaotian's birthday, and the Reverent King naturally wanted to send a congratulatory gift. This was also the reason for this recruitment. Not only was he recruiting experts to protect him, but he was also recruiting coachmen.
Lu Yin had applied to be a coachman. The requirements for a coachman were not high, and the inspection was not strict either. However, it would be troublesome if an expert accompanied him, as he might have to face Ming Zhaoshu directly.
"Kid, do you even know how to feed a horse?
If you don't, then scram! Don't waste my time! "a man shouted at Lu Yin. This person was the butler of the Reverent King's Residence, and he was also known as Butler Seven. He was the one who had chosen the coachmen for this recruitment.
Lu Yin lowered his head obediently as he looked at the horse in front of him. He really did not know how to feed a horse. As he thought about it, he noticed that Butler Seven was getting more and more annoyed. His hand trembled, and something fell to the ground with a soft thud.
"Butler Seven, are these five fortune coins yours?" Lu Yin asked in surprise as he pointed at the items on the ground.
The five fortune coins were the common currency of the Shenwu Empire.
Butler Seven greedily looked at the five fortune coins on the ground and hurriedly picked them up. His face was full of smiles as he said, "It's mine, it's mine! Luckily you saw it, or else I would have lost it. Haha!"
Lu Yin smiled apologetically. "It's Little Seven's honor to serve you, Butler Seven."
Butler Seven was shocked. "You're Little Seven?"
"Yes, I'm Lu Qi. Many people call me Little Seven." Lu Yin smiled.
Butler Seven sized Lu Yin up and sighed in admiration. "Not bad, not bad. Consider us fated. Alright, you don't need to feed the horses. You know how to drive, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I know how to drive," Lu Yin hurriedly replied. Driving was too easy, and if it did not listen, he could just whip it. If it did not listen, then he could forcefully control it with martial power. It was better than feeding a horse.
