Lu Yin raised a brow and looked at her with a faint smile, "You want to split the loot?"
"You don't want to?" Gerlaine raised a brow.
The two stared at each other.
Balaror tugged at her and whispered, "We can't be seen, it won't look good on your brother if word gets out."
Gerlaine nodded, "You play by yourself, we'll hide." She and Balaror went into hiding.
Lu Yin didn't object; he was still worried about having the two by his side, so hiding was the best option.
Two figures slowly appeared in the distance.
Ten minutes later, a notification came from the network that two more had been defeated.
After five days, many students thought that the interstellar bandits had stopped, but they had reappeared without warning.
Gerlaine looked at Lu Yin excitedly, "Quick, how much did you get? Split the loot!"
He looked at her, "Are you sure?"
Gerlaine stared at him and muttered, "Don't tell me you're shameless enough to take it all for yourself."
Lu Yin thought about it and tossed her a star crystal, "Take it."
"Bastard, you're so stingy!" Gerlaine smacked him angrily.
Lu Yin smiled, "You're the one who didn't want it, so don't blame me." He had long since seen through her personality; she was helping him because she was unhappy. Even if he didn't give her the star crystals, she would still help him unless she could snatch the loot back from him. He wasn't worried about her quitting at all.
With the help of a spy like Gerlaine, Lu Yin's robberies went smoothly. After robbing several groups over the past few days, he managed to scrape together five cubes of star crystals, a sum that even Gerlaine was jealous of.
Four days before the second batch of trialtakers arrived, Lu Yin encountered his first real danger since the apocalypse. He was surrounded by a total of seven students, three of whom were the strongest in the academy.
On the top floor of a supermarket in the abandoned county city, Lu Yin scanned the group. Gerlaine had only seen two people on her gadget, but seven had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The other five weren't wearing their gadgets, having hidden themselves like him.
These people had gone all out to capture him, even throwing away their gadgets.
"You're the interstellar bandit?
You only have a combat power of 2,100. Looks like your combat skills are very powerful, "a boorish looking student said sternly. He was one of the strongest students in the school.
Next to him, a woman with an ordinary appearance but a sexy figure smiled, "Many people don't use their star crystals for cultivation, but to train their battle techniques instead. Are you the same, junior?
Can you tell me what your battle technique is? "
Lu Yin looked at her and his lips curled up. "You want to know?
Give it a try. "
The girl giggled and raised her hand to point an energy gun at him. "Junior, don't you know that sometimes, you don't have to rely on yourself in battle? External items are also very important."
At the same time, a few others took out their energy guns and aimed them at Lu Yin.
This energy gun could even injure Sentinels; Terence had pierced Jeraldine's shoulder before he had died, and its power was not weak.
Lu Yin stared at the people around him and suddenly took out a handful of fire crystals from his cosmic ring. He smashed them on the ground, causing flames to soar into the sky and cover the building. Several people opened fire at the same time, but Lu Yin dodged with the Roving Step and threw out a few more crystals. Frost, wind, and flames enveloped the area, causing white mist to evaporate and obstructing everyone's vision.
These crystals had been taken from the students who had been robbed, and were now used to block his vision.
Lu Yin used the Roving Step at an extremely fast speed, leaving only an afterimage in his wake. He appeared in front of one of the strongest students in the academy and unleashed a Cosmic Palm without hesitation. The student's ring armor instantly shattered, and the student was sent crashing to the ground. Lu Yin's body spun as he unleashed a Spacerender Palm in all directions. An enormous force crushed the floor and scattered the void, severely injuring four of the remaining six students. Only two of the academy's strongest students were able to use Spacerender Palms to attack Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's gaze was piercingly cold as he punched out with both hands, stars appearing in each of his palms as he struck out at one of them.
Boom!
The place was completely shattered, and the three fell vertically to the ground, crushing the abandoned supermarket into two halves.
Suddenly, Lu Yin felt a sharp pain in his back. The student who had been slapped to the ground had stabbed into his body, and fresh blood stained his clothes. Lu Yin's Cosmic Palm's Star Burst forced the two back, and he turned to grab the student's arm and pulled out his shortsword. The student's pupils shrank, and he immediately let go of the hilt to dodge. Lu Yin's attack missed, and he swung the shortsword behind him. The edge of the blade flashed past, and one of the students' cheeks was slashed. Blood splattered onto the wall, and the shortsword pierced through a dozen buildings before stabbing into an armored vehicle.
The ruined building swayed as dust rose into the air.
Lu Yin panted heavily, the pain in his back making him extremely tense. These three were all at Parlie's level, a bit stronger than Veron. With them surrounding him, he had nowhere to hide.
In the distance, Gerlaine and Balaror watched with flickering eyes.
"Do you think we should hit him when he's down and rob him?" Gerlaine was eager to give it a try.
Balaror muttered to himself, "Sure, but we'll have to wait until he's heavily injured."
Gerlaine was pleased, "At least Eddy isn't stupid and knows to set up an ambush, or my help would've been in vain."
Balaror was shocked, "You knew this was a trap?"
"Of course not, idiot. But if Eddy isn't stupid, he'll definitely think of a way to set up a trap. I can lead this bastard in a robbery, but he can also use me to ambush him. We're not stupid," Gerlaine rolled her eyes at Balaror.
"Three powerhouses on par with Parlie, even Eddy himself would have a hard time escaping. He's done for, hehe," Gerlaine laughed happily, venting her anger.
Of the seven attackers, only three could truly pose a threat to Lu Yin.
He exhaled and retrieved an item from his cosmic ring, causing the expressions of the three attackers to change. "What's this?"
In the distance, Gerlaine was stunned, her face red with anger, "That despicable bastard."
Lu Yin's lips curled into a smile. He was wearing a delicate ring armor that flickered with lightning; this was Gerlaine's armor. Apparently, her brother had given it to her for self-defense. Since her cosmic ring had been taken away by Lu Yin, this item had naturally been taken as well, including the unique bow and arrow.
"Gerlaine's armor!" the burly man raged, "How dare you steal Gerlaine? You're crazy, her brother is Gerbach!"
Lu Yin sneered, "I don't care who he is. How can you differentiate who you're robbing? Are you out of your mind?" He then struck out with a palm, a Spacerender Palm smashing into the stout man's body. The man gritted his teeth and endured the attack, but his body was sent flying back more than ten metres before crashing into a pillar in the supermarket.
Lu Yin and a few others rushed out of the ruins with a bang, one of them crushing a crystal to summon a green blade that slashed towards Lu Yin. Lu Yin met the attack head-on, lightning crackling around his body. The blade had no effect on him at all, so he bypassed it and appeared in front of the burly man, slamming him to the ground with a Sirius Palm that almost caused him to vomit out his organs and faint on the spot.
The other two immediately retreated when they saw that something was wrong.
Lu Yin's armor wasn't something they could break; even he had to use Sirius Palm to break through his lightning defenses.
Seven people had surrounded him, two had escaped, and five had been defeated. When the results were made public on the network, all the students fell silent, including Eddy.
He believed himself to be the strongest of the first batch, but even he would find it difficult to achieve such a result. All the students in the alliance were notified to give up on the chase and attack the capital in three days.
Lu Yin casually sat on the ground and stared into the distance, "Come out."
Gerlaine and Balaror stared at Lu Yin in shock. This person had become famous after today's battle. The strongest native was Zhang Dingtian, who had the power of a realmbreaker. Back then, he had forced the four of them back, including Eddy, with a single strike. That power had made Gerlaine's heart tremble. Now, Lu Yin's strength had shocked her as well.
Lu Yin tossed the medicine to her, "Apply it for me."
She glared at him and pointed at herself, "What did you say?
You want me to apply medicine for you? "
"Is it that hard to understand?" he asked indifferently.
Gerlaine was furious, "Dream on, I'm as pure as ice and as pure as jade, I've never touched a man's body. How dare you profane me!"
Lu Yin stared at her coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You wouldn't have been so polite if I'd lost. Apply medicine for me now."
"I'll do it," Balaror said.
Lu Yin snorted, "No way, your hands are dirty."
Balaror was furious.
