This was the only corridor in this endless space of darkness, and Lu Yin was stepping on its floor. Taking a step back allowed him to blend into the endless darkness.
Lu Yin frowned and walked forward. There was a stone slab at the entrance of the corridor that merged with the rest of the corridor. Rows of names were engraved on it, and most of them ended with the word "Daynight." Daynight was a surname that represented some sort of inheritance. Thinking back to the powerful clans in the universe that Xia Luo had mentioned, Lu Yin knew that this stone was the Daynight Clan's inheritance.
At the top of the slab was a name: Nightking Zhenwu.
The moment he saw this name, Lu Yin's gaze seemed to pierce through the boundless space to see a domineering man standing in the heavens. However, he quickly sobered up, and his eyes widened in shock. Just a name was enough to make him lose focus. Nightking Zhenwu, Nightking, Daynight. Who was this person?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he shifted his gaze to the interior of the corridor. He lifted his foot and took another step forward, this time into the corridor.
At the same time, in the depths of the universe, at the center of an ancient continent, there was a towering stone stele that seemed to pierce through the heavens. It emitted a terrifying aura that caused the stars to tremble.
Two glowing stones slowly revolved around the middle of the stone stele.
At the bottom, a few figures stood quietly. They were covered in dust, and if one didn't look closely, one would think that they were statues.
The moment Lu Yin stepped into the corridor, his image appeared at the bottom of the stone stele. It was blurry, and he couldn't see it clearly.
"Another new clansman has entered. I wonder how high he'll reach."
"Our clansmen are becoming more and more outrageous. Their talents are getting worse."
"Don't worry about that. No matter how bad his talent is, he's still a member of the Daynight Clan. Anyone from our clan can crush countless geniuses."
"Speaking of which, why hasn't the stolen ancient stone been recovered yet?
It's too inefficient. "
"Don't worry. No one in the universe would dare to steal our ancient stone. It'll be back soon, but the one who stole it must be severely punished."
"That clansman's talent is strange. It would be a pity to kill him."
"It doesn't matter. Since that child has appeared in this generation, the others aren't important. That child is the hope of our Daynight Clan."
As they spoke, they unconsciously raised their heads. Their gazes crossed the distance and looked towards the top of the stone tablet. A human figure flickered with radiance. It was vivid and lifelike, as if it was real. It climbed to the top and overlooked all living beings.
Suddenly, the image of Lu Yin at the bottom of the stone tablet disappeared. Everyone looked over and sighed in disappointment. "Even his appearance can't be shown. How terrible. Has this generation's luck been taken over by that child?
It's too cruel for other people. "
"Not all of them. There were two kids who climbed up just now. It's not bad."
Within the corridor, Lu Yin felt a boundless pressure the moment he took his first step. It wasn't a physical pressure, but rather a spiritual one. The loneliness of the night almost swallowed him whole, and the deeper he went, the more intense the feeling of desolation and despair became. Three meters away, a fist appeared in the darkness, flashing with white light as it knocked him out of the corridor and into the darkness. He woke up in an instant, only to see the shocked gazes of Zhang Dingtian and the others.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
.....................................
Lu Yin shook his head. "No."
"Liar. You were surrounded by an ancient aura. You definitely succeeded," Jenny Auna said in disbelief. She seemed to know something.
"I don't need to explain it to you," he replied.
Jenny Auna was furious. She had accidentally found out from her father that the fugitive was a member of that terrifying clan and had even brought their inheritance stone with him. She had come to try her luck, and her father had not stopped her. Only those with the bloodline of that clan could successfully receive the stone. But what was going on now?
Not only had someone succeeded, but three had appeared at once. She felt like her outlook on life had been challenged.
Qingyu's identity was only known to the upper echelons, and most of the students had no idea what it meant even if they heard his full name. This was the tragedy of being in a fringe weave of the universe. Otherwise, Jenny Auna wouldn't have been the only one to come, but all the other students would have come to try their luck.
One's outlook determined one's future. Munoor was a Melder and one of the strongest students in the trial, but so what? He wouldn't have known about the stone even if it had been placed right in front of him.
Lu Yin scanned the crowd and found that Zhou Shan and Wu Sheng had already left. Only Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue were still there, but it was obvious that they had failed. The only ones left were the girl in green and Xia Luo.
The girl in green opened her eyes quickly and exhaled. She looked around at the crowd with a smug expression, but when she saw Xia Luo still sitting there, her expression changed to one of displeasure. It was as if Xia Luo had beaten her.
Jenny Auna noticed her displeasure and said, "Don't think that you two are the only ones who succeeded. That kid succeeded as well."
The girl in green was shocked and followed Jenny's gaze to Lu Yin. "You succeeded?"
Lu Yin didn't answer; he didn't know what it meant to enter the inheritance, so he didn't want to talk about it.
She looked at him strangely, "You're not from that clan, are you?"
He continued to ignore her.
The green-robed woman was displeased. She was about to say something when Xia Luo opened his eyes. At the same time, the stone fell to the ground with a thud.
"Hey, what did you learn?" she asked Xia Luo curiously.
Xia Luo smiled, "Nothing."
"Impossible, you took longer than me." She couldn't believe it.
Xia Luo smiled and looked at Lu Yin, "How about you?"
Lu Yin shook his head, "I didn't succeed."
"Liar!" she shouted, staring at him, "You succeeded as well, right? You must have learned something as well."
Lu Yin looked at the girl in green, then at Xia Luo, and finally at Jenny Auna.
Jenny Auna had a bad feeling, "What, what are you trying to do?"
His lips curled up, "I almost forgot about you. Surrender, and from now on, you'll be part of the glorious negotiation team."
"What negotiation team?"
Jenny Auna was confused and didn't even have time to react before he grabbed her. She was about as strong as Raas, so he easily restrained her.
"Bastard, let go of me! Do you know who I am?
You bastard, I'm Jenny Auna, the heir of the Auna family! No one can save you if you capture me! "she shouted, glaring angrily at him.
Lu Yin sneered, "I don't care who you are, as long as you're helpful to the negotiation. With Raas and you, the chances of success are very high."
Jenny Auna's screams were useless, so he tossed her to Bai Xue, "Watch her carefully, she's a bargaining chip."
Bai Xue furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, thought for a moment, then nodded and pulled Jenny Auna out.
Neither the woman nor Xia Luo interfered, as they had only come for the stone.
If possible, Lu Yin wanted to capture them as well, but he wasn't confident. Both of them were unfathomable, especially Xia Luo. He looked ordinary, but Lu Yin would never forget the sense of danger he'd given off the first time they'd met.
"Brother Lu, let me give you a word of advice. It's best if you throw this stone away, or it'll bring you an unimaginable disaster," Xia Luo said to Lu Yin before he left, not waiting for a reply.
The woman in green quickly chased after him, wanting to know what Xia Luo had obtained from the inheritance stone.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed; Xia Luo's words were exactly what he'd been thinking. This stone was very precious, but it was also the source of disaster. Keeping it would definitely attract an unimaginably powerful enemy, and it wasn't something he could control at the moment. Even the Great Yu Empire wouldn't dare touch it, let alone himself.
Lu Yin's scalp went numb when he thought of the Daynight names on the stone slab; this was definitely a terrifying clan.
Lu Yin knew that he wasn't a genius with heaven-defying luck, so there was no way he'd be able to keep the stone in the face of such a powerful clan. He secretly decided to throw it away, but it was a technical job.
Outside the capital, a dozen students suddenly banded together to charge into the city. They were all here for Jenny Auna, as the Auna family was much stronger than the Raas family. Jenny Auna hadn't come out for a long time, and these students couldn't wait any longer.
Zhou Shan immediately ordered someone to sound the alarm.
Lu Yin and Zhang Dingtian were in the basement of the Technology Institute, while Gerlaine, Balaror, and Jeraldine were resting. Zhou Shan was the only one who couldn't even resist against a dozen students.
