Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue looked at each other; Lu Yin was right; if he was also a trial student, he wouldn't have done something so strenuous and unrewarding.
"I do suspect someone," Lu Yin spoke up again, "Liu Shaoge."
"Why?" Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue were shocked.
"Hubei is marked in blue. You should know what that means," Lu Yin said calmly.
Bai Xue denied, "My northeast and Zhou Shan's Jinlin are all blue, that doesn't mean anything."
"You're one of the Upper Sages, and you have the power to kill a trial student. Nanjing was only saved because of me, or else it would have been controlled by the students. Liu Shaoge is one of the Lower Sages, and he's on the same level as Zhou Shan. How could he have the power to resist those students? Look for yourselves, there's more than one trial student in Hubei."
Bai Xue wanted to refute, but couldn't bring herself to do so. Lu Yin was right; Liu Shaoge didn't have the power of the Three High Sages and couldn't resist those students.
Zhang Dingtian muttered to himself and sheathed his sword, "You can't convict someone without evidence. That's the case for you, and it's the same for Liu Shaoge."
Bai Xue looked at Lu Yin for a moment before leaving with a complicated expression.
Jeraldine came to Lu Yin's side, "Was it really Liu Shaoge who spread the news?"
"How would I know?" he asked casually.
Jeraldine blinked, "Then why were you so sure just now?"
Lu Yin looked at her like she was an idiot, "How would they believe me if I didn't say I was sure? You have to be ruthless when it comes to scapegoating. If you don't understand that, then all your years of studying have been wasted."
Jeraldine's expression turned ugly, scapegoating?
This bastard is despicable!
Jeraldine's anonymous message spread across the network, and many students who were fighting in Europe immediately rushed over to India.
Eddy and Hayden quickly clarified that they were just passing by and happened to bump into an Indian monk. That was why they had a fight. But no one believed them. More and more students appeared in India.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin felt like he was watching a movie from a peaceful era. Notifications kept popping up, announcing who had been defeated, who had died, and so on. There were even some students who had rushed over from the other side of the ocean from America, but a few of them had been eaten by the mutated beasts in the sea. For a period of time, the notifications on the network never stopped.
It was not until five days later that Eddy and Hayden were proven innocent. The fugitive's belongings were not in India. Immediately, the students turned their attention to the Capital.
Lu Yin sighed. What was to come would eventually come, and he couldn't drag it out for too long. The students who dared to participate in the trial weren't stupid, and the capital was the most likely place to be.
Under such circumstances, Eddy contacted the other students and suggested that they take control of the capital and wait for the fugitive. If the fugitive did not appear within a month, they would all work together to fight against the second batch of trial-takers.
Many students responded to this suggestion.
Astral-10 was about to arrive in the Frostwave Weave, so it was obvious that the second batch of trial takers would be extremely strong. It was even possible that the second batch of trial takers had been prepared for them. Most of the students did not have the confidence to face them alone, but Eddy's suggestion gave them hope.
Many people responded to this suggestion.
In the capital, Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue's expressions turned ugly. They had also received the news and knew that the capital would become a battlefield for the next two weeks.
Zhang Dingtian was strong, but there was a limit to his strength. Besides, he lacked battle techniques and would not be able to protect the capital if he was surrounded. Bai Xue was even worse; even if the Seven Sages worked together, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Lu Yin's expression also turned ugly when he heard the news. He was an Earthling in this trial, and if the capital was controlled, his goals would be greatly reduced. He also had no intention of letting the fugitive go, as well as the things the fugitive had left behind. In any case, the capital was very important.
"Lu Yin, let's leave quickly. The capital won't be able to stop them," Jeraldine urged.
Lu Yin fell into deep thought. The top fighters on Earth were on the same level as Zhang Dingtian and Eddy, and Zhang Dingtian was even stronger than Eddy. With so many students surrounding the capital, there would be more than one or two powerhouses at Eddy's level. If he wanted to break through this situation, he would have to surpass them. The only way was to increase his battle prowess, at least to Eddy's level. Only then would he be able to make up for the difference in power and use the Sirius Palm to crush them.
"Stay in the capital, I'll be back in a few days," he said to Jeraldine before flying away.
Jeraldine gritted her teeth. She wasn't stupid; staying in the capital would only result in death.
Just as Lu Yin was about to leave the capital, Bai Xue stopped him. "You want to escape?" Bai Xue questioned.
"I'll be back before the students attack the capital."
"Why should I believe you?" Bai Xue asked, her beautiful face full of disdain.
Lu Yin was indifferent, "There's no need for you to believe me. You can't stop me. Or do you want to fight me to the death before the students attack?"
Bai Xue clenched her fists.
"Let him go," Zhang Dingtian's voice rang out, but he did not show himself.
Bai Xue had no choice but to land in the capital.
Lu Yin took one last look at the capital before flying away.
Not long after leaving the capital, Lu Yin looked at his gadget, "The closest one will be you." He then charged towards the west.
Jeraldine left right after him. She wasn't his servant, and if not for him watching her, she would have left long ago. This was the perfect opportunity.
But while her plan was beautiful, it couldn't be realized. She was sadly stopped by Bai Xue.
"What right do you have to stop me?" she raged.
Bai Xue stared at her coldly, "Because you're Lu Yin's woman. If he leaves, you have to stay."
"Who's his woman? Don't spout nonsense!"
Bai Xue was helpless against Lu Yin, but dealing with Jeraldine was a piece of cake. It didn't take long for her to be frozen and tossed into Lu Yin's room. It took a while for Jeraldine to thaw.
"Bastard Lu Yin! Bastard Ice Maiden! Bastard native! Unreasonable!" Jeraldine cursed, furious.
Shanxi was the closest to the capital. Without the Seven Sages to guard it, the strongest person in the province was only a Realm of Earth. Even so, there was still a group of cultivators gathered in Tong City, making it one of the largest gathering places in the province.
Rather was a happy-go-lucky person who was easily satisfied. Even though he was the strongest person in the Great Yu Empire's Garu Academy, he did not have the slightest ambition to complete his mission. All he wanted to do was to occupy a piece of land and mine properly so that he could complete his mission with some results. He had no intention of causing trouble.
He had occupied Tong City as a Sentinel, no, as a Realm of Sky powerhouse. He had become the protector of Tong City and enjoyed the worship of countless people. Occasionally, he would help the pitiful survivors fight monsters, but most of his time was spent comfortably. The discovery of a strange mineral deposit had given him a lot of points on his report card, which made him very happy.
Basking in the sunlight and sipping wine, Rather narrowed his eyes and hummed a song from his hometown. "This kind of primitive planet is still the best. The air is fresh, the people are simple, no one is watching, and we can do whatever we want. Occasionally, we'll find some precious minerals and get some gold plating. Tsk tsk, these days are awesome, hahahaha."
After enjoying himself for a while, Rathur gestured with his finger, and two beautiful girls walked over. One of them massaged Rathur's shoulders, while the other massaged his legs. They also poured wine for him. Rathur exhaled. "Awesome."
Just as Rather raised his glass to his mouth, the sunlight above his head was blocked. Rather frowned and looked up. What entered his eyes was an ordinary-looking young man floating in mid-air, looking at him. Hm?
A Sentinel?
Rather's expression turned solemn, and he waved the two girls away. He stared coldly at the man, "Who are you?"
"Robbery," the man said.
Rather stared blankly at the man, "What did you say?
Say it again. "
There was only one way for him to increase his strength in the shortest time possible, and that was to absorb as much star energy as possible. Robbery was the fastest way. "I said, robbery."
Rather was so angry that he laughed, "Kid, you're a trial student, but you're so blind. Do you know who I am? Let me tell you, I —" Before he could finish, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and his body was sent flying by a terrifying force. He crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.
Within the crater, Rather coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked up with a pale face, "What was that?
The Spacerender Palm?
Damn it, where did this pervert come from? "
