That night, Eddy was thrown back into the prison and replaced by Raas.
This person's identity wasn't simple at all. Many students contacted Lu Yin, offering to trade for him, but he rejected them all. Raas's value was far greater than those resource crystals.
Raas was violently thrown to the ground, not far from the defensive wall being built by the cultivators of the Chinese camp.
"Gerlaine, why are you here?" Raas exclaimed in shock.
She beamed at him, "I'm sorry, Senior Raas, I was captured too."
Raas was furious, this damned brat was lying through her teeth. How did she look like she was captured?
Hold on, "You're the mastermind behind this?
No wonder you dared to kidnap me, you've got guts. Don't think you'll be fine just because your brother is protecting you, my father is Sicar. "
Gerlaine blinked innocently, "Senior Raas, don't accuse me wrongly, I don't have the ability to control them. You can ask the others if you don't believe me, I was also robbed by him."
Raas didn't believe her at all; he didn't believe that a mere native would dare to attack him. That native was unexpectedly strong, but so what? Without a certain background, no matter how talented he was, he was still an ant.
"Another student is approaching," Jeraldine exclaimed.
Lu Yin and the rest looked into the distance to see a figure rapidly approaching, eventually hovering above the capital and looking down at them.
Raas was delighted to see the newcomer, "Senior Munoor, it's Senior Munoor! I'm here!"
Gerlaine's expression changed, "Why is it him, he's here too?"
"You know him?" Lu Yin was curious.
She replied solemnly, "Munoor, an elite of Yu Academy who once competed with my brother. Although he doesn't take him seriously anymore, he's still one of the few Melders in Yu Academy."
Everyone's hearts sank at the mention of a Melder. There had to be a Melder in the second batch, and Huo Xiaoling was one of them. They had thought that it would be difficult to meet a Melder, but one had actually appeared here.
Munoor looked down and scanned the capital, his eyes lighting up when he saw Raas. He had come for Raas's father, Sicar. As long as he could save Raas, he would be able to board Sicar's ship and have no worries in the Great Yu Empire.
"Native, release Mister Raas!" Munoor shouted, a shockwave dispersing the clouds and pressing down on the survivors.
Raas was overjoyed.
Lu Yin frowned and prepared to attack. So what if he was a Melder? A sealed Melder might not be able to compare to him.
At that moment, Zhang Dingtian walked out, his gaze calm. "Leave this to me."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Ever since he'd saved everyone a few days ago, Zhang Dingtian had rarely made a move. Whenever a student came, it was Lu Yin who defeated or captured them. Jeraldine, Gerlaine, and the rest were all focused on Lu Yin, and even Eddy and the rest had almost forgotten about Zhang Dingtian. He was a realmbreaker, the number one of the Seven Sages, and had his own pride. The capital was supposed to be under his protection, but now that it was being protected by someone else, he was eager to fight.
Bai Xue looked at Zhang Dingtian worriedly. These extraterrestrial students' battle techniques were unpredictable, and their control of their strength was far superior to theirs. Zhang Dingtian could easily crush an ordinary student, but this time, he was facing a peerless elite.
Raas was disdainful; Lu Yin might have been worth watching, but a mere native dared to challenge a Melder. Even if a Melder's cultivation was sealed, a Sentinel still couldn't compare to a mere native.
Lu Yin nodded. "Be careful."
Zhang Dingtian's gaze turned cold, and he took to the skies to face Munoor.
Gerlaine's eyes lit up. Raas and the rest didn't know, but the first batch of students knew that the greatest threat to them back then wasn't Lu Yin, but the number one of the Seven Sages. He was a rare realmbreaker who had guarded the capital alone, and even Gerlaine had been forced to retreat.
Munoor looked arrogantly at the rising Zhang Dingtian, "Scram, native!" He waved his hand, sending a surge of star energy towards a single direction. It wasn't scattered like a normal Sentinel, but rather concentrated in a single direction. This was an unconscious control, but it was clear that a Melder's control of star energy had long since reached the pinnacle.
Zhang Dingtian's gaze was resolute as he raised his blade and slashed out, tearing through the star energy and heading straight for Munoor.
Munoor, who didn't care about Zhang Dingtian at first, was shocked. He raised his hand and clawed at the attack, shattering it. "Interesting. A mere native is actually as strong as an ordinary member of Yu Academy. No, it's slightly stronger. Are you a realmbreaker?"
Seeing Munoor's astonished expression, Zhang Dingtian raised his sword and slashed at him again, but the attack was shattered. Zhang Dingtian was a Realmbreaker who was stronger than Eddy and could fight Raas on equal footing. However, against a Melder like Munoor whose cultivation had been sealed, Zhang Dingtian's attacks were completely ineffective. Munoor was a true Melder, and even if his cultivation had been sealed and he couldn't display the strength of a Melder, he could still use his star energy and battle techniques. He wasn't someone Zhang Dingtian could match.
Bang! Munoor's palm turned into a claw and hit the blade with a loud noise, causing a crack to appear on the blade. The force traveled along the blade to Zhang Dingtian's arm, shattering the sleeves on his arm.
Munoor had intended to shatter the blade with this attack, but he had failed. Zhang Dingtian had miraculously neutralized part of the force at the critical moment, saving his blade and preventing himself from being injured even more severely.
Zhang Dingtian spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated, raising his blade high as he roared and unleashing a terrifying attack. His body inexplicably disappeared, leaving only an afterimage behind.
"Roving Steps?" Lu Yin was shocked; Zhang Dingtian had actually learned the Roving Steps.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky; there were two Zhang Dingtians?
Raas's jaw dropped. No way, a native was actually fighting so well against Munoor? Munoor had even used the Skybeast Claw, but he still hadn't been able to defeat him. How was this possible? Since when were natives so crazy?
A realmbreaker?
A native planet actually had a realmbreaker?
High up in the sky, Munoor's gaze turned cold as he waved his hand to disperse the afterimage. He turned around and swept out with his leg, causing a violent gale to distort the air. The shockwave slammed into the ground, shattering the earth. At this moment, Zhang Dingtian appeared beside Munoor and slashed out with his blade.
Countless people, including Gerlaine and the others, tensed up as they watched this scene in shock. This Zhang Dingtian was truly heaven-defying to be able to contend with Munoor.
Zhang Dingtian's pupils shrank as Munoor's figure disappeared in front of him. He instinctively used his sword to block behind him. With a bang, the sword shattered, and a terrifying force slammed into Zhang Dingtian's body, smashing him into the ground.
Everyone was silent as Munoor appeared in the sky with a gloomy expression. A mere native had not only forced him to use the Skybeast Claw, but also his footwork battle technique. It was inconceivable.
Everyone looked at the ground outside the city, where dust rose into the sky.
Gerlaine sighed; this was more like it. If this native had defeated Munoor, it would have been a complete reversal. Natives couldn't possibly be heaven-defying!
"It's your turn," she said to Lu Yin.
He pointed outside the city, "It's not over yet."
"Do you want to send him to his death?
This native can't defeat Munoor, he can't even hurt him. "
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, "I don't like the word native."
"Hmph," Gerlaine snorted and turned away.
Zhou Shan and Wu Sheng appeared as well, looking worriedly outside the city.
Bai Xue clenched her fists, the cold around her threatening.
Raas stared blankly at Bai Xue; he'd already noticed her beauty and wanted to bring her back as a maid, but what was this?
Cold?
Ice?
Innate gift?
Hell, what native planet? There were even cultivators with innate gifts, realmbreakers, and that freak who'd defeated him? There were all sorts of things here.
When the dust settled, Zhang Dingtian appeared before everyone with a broken blade in hand. His body was covered in wounds, but he stood straight and stared resolutely at the sky as he slowly rose into the air.
Munoor's brows rose, "You're brave. What's your name?"
"Zhang Dingtian."
Munoor praised, "Follow me, I'll take you to Yu Academy. You're qualified, how about it?"
"Not interested," Zhang Dingtian replied coldly, tightening his grip on the broken blade.
Munoor burst into laughter, "You want to fight me with this broken blade?
Let me tell you, there's no way to make up for the difference between us. You'll only lose against me. "
"That's not necessarily true. Zhang Dingtian, here's something for you," Lu Yin shouted from below, tossing Gerlaine's ring armor over. Zhang Dingtian caught it instinctively and looked at Lu Yin suspiciously.
Lu Yin explained, "Your battle wasn't fair to begin with. He's a Melder and you're just a Sentinel, don't be so stubborn."
Zhang Dingtian's eyes flashed and he put on the armor, covering his entire body with lightning.
