Suddenly, a green figure streaked across the sky, bypassing Zhou Shan and charging into the group of students. She punched them one by one, knocking them all unconscious in less than ten seconds.
This scene was quite shocking, especially for Zhou Shan. He was part of the second batch of trial students, and all of them had the strength of the strongest students in their respective academies. Yet, he couldn't even resist against that green-clothed girl. How was this possible? Moreover, that green-clothed girl's speed was too fast!
Lu Yin and the rest had just taken to the skies when they saw this scene. They were just as shocked.
She definitely hadn't been this fast when they'd first snatched the stone, or Lu Yin wouldn't have been able to stop her. Now that she was so fast, she must have obtained some sort of inheritance from the stone.
Outside the capital, the girl in green frowned, "So this is the White Flash? It's still a bit slow. It's best to use it during the day, let's try it out tomorrow."
More than ten students were immediately captured by cultivators and brought into the city, including Jenny Auna. At this point, there were forty-two students in the capital.
Lu Yin didn't hold back as he plundered them. He'd already had twenty star crystals from the group of people he'd captured, but Jenny Auna alone had contributed close to fifteen, which was even more than Raas'. She was the one who'd given him the most star crystals out of all the students he'd captured. With the addition of the dozen or so others, Lu Yin now had forty-two star crystals, which was exactly the same as the number of people he'd captured.
This was a considerable amount of wealth. As the heir of the Auna family, Jenny Auna only had fifteen star crystals, but Lu Yin had three times that amount in his possession.
Robbery was the best way to earn money. Lu Yin was excited to be able to roll his die again.
After greeting Zhang Dingtian, Lu Yin went into seclusion. He had no choice but to use star crystals, or he wouldn't have enough space in his cosmic ring.
He buried fire crystals all around him and raised his hand to summon the die. It wasn't completely dull, but had actually recovered a bit.
Lu Yin didn't want to wait for it to recover, so he crushed a cube of star crystal. The die immediately absorbed the energy and its surface quickly recovered, shrouding it in hazy starlight.
Every time this happened, Lu Yin would feel both excited and nervous. He would slowly reach out with his finger and tap the die as if he was on a pilgrimage. The die spun rapidly until it finally appeared in front of Lu Yin.
It was another pip. Lu Yin looked forward to what he'd get.
Soon enough, a fist-sized star crystal fell from the void and landed on the ground with a thud.
Lu Yin was speechless. A cube of star crystals had been exchanged for a thousand times more than what he'd gotten. Gambling really was a deathtrap. Thinking about it, Lu Yin regained his composure. It didn't matter; he had more money, more money.
He crushed another cube of star crystal and the die returned to its original state.
He tapped the die.
Lu Yin was speechless.... His luck was bad; the chance of getting something good!
Sure enough, he got it this time. Lu Yin's eyes widened. Is this toilet paper?
Lu Yin was furious. Who would put toilet paper in their cosmic ring? Who would be such a beast? Lu Yin was enraged, and he wanted to jump through the black hole and beat up that bastard. Who would put toilet paper in their cosmic ring?
It took him a while to calm down. No matter how much money he had, this wasn't the right way to spend it. Two cubes of star crystals had been exchanged for a fist-sized crystal and a roll of toilet paper. If Jeraldine found out, she would cry her eyes out. Her entire fortune was only worth a few dozen star crystals, and he'd lost two thousand times over.
Only now did Lu Yin realize how lucky he'd been the first time he'd obtained the Sirius Art. All the luck in the universe had been on him that day.
Should he wait a bit?
Was his luck bad today?
Lu Yin couldn't help but think about it when he crushed a third star crystal, but then he shook his head. Forget it, he still had money.
Lu Yin nervously tapped the die, and when it slowly stopped rolling, the number that appeared before his eyes was four pips.
Lu Yin exhaled. Pip. Time Stop. Not bad, this was worth it.
The next moment, Lu Yin appeared in the grey-white Time Stop Space. Behind him were numbers that were disappearing by the second.
The Time Stop Space's initial duration was three days, and Lu Yin had to stay here for three days. He was thinking about how to use these three days. Three days wasn't a long time, but it was impossible to train the Sirius Palm. He only had seven forms of the Skybeast Claw, so there was only one way. The fist he'd seen in the inheritance stone had blasted him out of the inheritance stone, but he'd still been able to see the mysteries behind it when he used the Sirius Art. If the girl in green had obtained that extreme speed, then he'd obtained that fist as well.
Lu Yin adjusted his breathing as a black and white light flashed in his mind: the Daynight Fist.
Three days later, Lu Yin exited the Timestop Space at the very last second, feeling rather exhausted.
Although time had stopped in the grey-white space, his exhaustion hadn't disappeared. Lu Yin ate something and rested for the night before waking up the next morning.
"Let's continue," Lu Yin growled as he crushed a star crystal to restore the die.
This was his fourth time rolling the die. When his finger touched the die, he felt a wave of dizziness, but he shook his head and ignored it. The die slowly stopped spinning, and two pips appeared in front of him. Two pips could be used to decompose items.
It just so happened that Lu Yin had stolen quite a few things during this period of time, so he dissected a bunch of them and obtained some strange metal materials that he didn't recognize. After the vortex disappeared, Lu Yin crushed another star crystal and tapped his die.
His dizziness worsened, and his vision suddenly blurred. His expression changed as he recalled that the die was his innate gift, and it could not be used endlessly. Just like star energy, there would always be a time when it would be exhausted. Overusing this innate gift would cause the brain to enter a dormant state.
Lu Yin's body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground. He'd unknowingly reached his limit. Five rolls. Five rolls was his limit.
He shook his head vigorously and looked at the die. On his fifth roll, a never-before-seen pip appeared before his eyes.
The die had a total of six pips. Lu Yin had rolled a pip, a pip, a pip, a pip, a pip, a pip, and now a pip.
Looking at the pip, Lu Yin inexplicably thought of a way to use it — to borrow innate gifts.
The so-called Talent Borrowing was that after rolling five points, he could borrow the talent of the person he touched into the die for him to use. After using it once, it would disappear. The condition was that he had to touch the talent cultivator he wanted to borrow within ten seconds. Otherwise, after ten seconds, the function would disappear.
Lu Yin looked at the time and saw that two seconds had passed. He rushed out of the room; there was only one cultivator with innate gifts in the capital, and that was Bai Xue. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the ruins of the capital's steel walls, where she was.
His body swayed in midair; five rolls had drained his mental strength to the limit, and he needed to rest. Bai Xue was still a hundred meters away.
When there was only one second left, he placed a hand on her shoulder and exhaled heavily.
Jeraldine, Gerlaine, Balaror, and Zhou Shan all stared blankly at the scene. What was going on?
Bai Xue was stunned as well, staring at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's hand was still on her shoulder, but he quickly withdrew it when he saw the strange gazes around him, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else." He then left.
The ruins were silent; no one had reacted yet.
Jeraldine was speechless; that was a terrible excuse. Why had that bastard suddenly reached out?
Was he trying to take advantage of her?
It was broad daylight, and there was no warning at all. Was he crazy?
Jeraldine wasn't the only one who thought so; the others felt the same way, especially Gerlaine. "Was he going to confess?
Did we disturb him? "
"Probably," Balaror answered seriously.
Bai Xue's face flushed red, her beautiful face mesmerizing even Jeraldine. She was so beautiful that even the stars paled in comparison.
Back in the capital, Lu Yin slammed into his room with a thump and fell asleep; he had reached his limit.
Not long after he fell asleep, rumors began to spread throughout the capital.
"Did you hear?
The Hidden Sage confessed to the Luo Sheng, but was rejected. He got so drunk he doesn't even dare to show his face. "
"That can't be right, I heard that the Hidden Sage didn't even dare to confess. He was so infatuated with the Luo Sheng that he slipped away without saying a word."
"You're all wrong, my cousin's uncle's younger brother's neighbor saw the Hidden Sage kiss the Luo Sheng and propose to her. He even bought her a wedding ring."
"Get lost, where are you going to buy a ring at this time?"
…
That afternoon, Zhang Dingtian found Bai Xue, "I heard." "That's not true, he mistook you for someone else." Bai Xue immediately barked, knowing what he was about to say.
Zhang Dingtian was stunned, "That's good." He then left.
