Bai Xue was furious; that bastard was definitely out for revenge. She had stopped him from looking at what Qingyu had left behind, but he'd waited until now to take revenge. What a bastard!
She wanted to reason with him, but it was harder to explain herself. Who knew what rumors would spread? Bai Xue had no choice but to endure it.
The next afternoon, a figure descended upon the capital, causing the air to distort as an enormous amount of star energy swept across the sky.
Zhang Dingtian and the rest immediately rushed out and looked up.
It was Yan Gang.
"Hand over what Qingyu left behind in the capital immediately!" he barked, looking down at the crowd.
Zhang Dingtian gripped his sword and soared into the sky, "Who are you?"
"Yan Gang, from Firesmelt Planet," he replied arrogantly, looking at Zhang Dingtian with disdain.
"Firesmelt Planet?" Gerlaine exclaimed from below.
Bai Xue was puzzled, "What about it?"
Gerlaine answered solemnly, "Firesmelt Planet is one of the largest powers in the Frostwave Weave, on par with the Great Yu Empire. The planet was burned by flames, and the people there are all very strong. Their fire techniques are unparalleled."
Jeraldine spoke up, "Normal fire techniques are useless against them. Their skin has long since mutated from years of being burned."
"Anyone from Firesmelt Planet who can appear in the Great Yu Empire is at least a Melder. This Yan Gang must be one as well, and he's definitely stronger than Munoor."
Bai Xue looked up at Zhang Dingtian with worry; each enemy was stronger than the last.
"If you want something, tell Qingyu to come get it himself," said Zhang Dingtian solemnly. This saber was Qingyu's. His saber had been destroyed by Munoor, so this saber was his weapon.
Yan Gang sneered. "How dare an ant like you talk to me?" He then waved his hand, causing a scorching wave of star energy to blast towards Zhang Dingtian. Zhang Dingtian's eyes widened, and he used the Roving Step to rush towards Yan Gang. He slashed out with his blade, the blade vibrating rapidly as it fused with the transformations of his Shockwave Palm. This was the attack that had injured Munoor.
Zhang Dingtian's attack was very powerful. He was already a realmbreaker, and his attack was infused with battle techniques. Even Yan Gang was shocked. Yan Gang clashed his hands together, and flames suddenly surged out and turned into a spear that pierced towards Zhang Dingtian.
The saber and the spear collided, and the flames fell like meteors in the capital, causing panic and burning the earth. The air in the sky was pushed away, and the airwaves spread in all directions.
With a loud bang, Zhang Dingtian was no match for Yan Gang. He was swept away by the spear and smashed into the ground.
High up in the sky, Yan Gang looked at Zhang Dingtian in amazement, "Not many Sentinels can survive my spear. Not bad, you can follow me."
Bai Xue, Zhou Shan, and the rest looked at Yan Gang angrily. These trial students always acted high and mighty towards the people of Earth. Asking them to follow them was like giving alms. This was a blatant case of the strong preying on the weak.
Jeraldine was shocked. "Fire innate talent?"
Gerlaine replied in a low voice, "No, the Firesmelt Planet's skin has mutated and can produce flames through high temperatures. It's actually an unconventional innate gift. This person is really strong."
Lu Yin was still in a deep slumber, and everyone was powerless against Yan Gang.
Yan Gang was cold and arrogant as he pointed his flaming spear downwards. "I'll say it one more time. Hand it over, or I'll burn you to ashes."
Zhang Dingtian coughed up blood. "Give him the stone."
Everyone felt sorrowful.
Gerlaine raised her eyebrows. Stone?
What stone?
At that moment, a green figure soared into the sky from afar and disappeared in a flash, reappearing behind Yan Gang. "Not bad, let me try the White Flash."
"What?" Yan Gang's eyes narrowed, unable to react in time.
Bang!
Everyone stared at the crater in the ground outside the capital in shock. The arrogant Yan Gang had been beaten to the ground like a dead dog.
High up in the sky, the girl in green clenched her fists in excitement and muttered something to herself.
Yan Gang roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the sky. "Slut, I'm going to kill you!" He suddenly charged forward, flames covering his body as it transformed into armor to protect him. His flaming spear pierced through the air towards the green-robed woman.
The green-robed woman was excited. "Good!" She didn't do anything, but her body suddenly disappeared. Yan Gang spat out a mouthful of blood as his entire body was struck by an invisible attack. His waist was bent over, and his body was once again smashed into the ground.
The girl in green reappeared, looking down proudly.
Everyone was shocked; the difference was too great.
This time, it wasn't just the bystanders who saw it; even Yan Gang himself felt the difference. He climbed out of the crater and stared at the girl in green in shock, "Who are you?"
The girl in green raised her head, "Lulu Mavis."
Yan Gang, Gerlaine, Jeraldine, and the rest were shocked at the name. "Mavis?
That Mavis? "Yan Gang exclaimed.
Lulu's lips curled up, "Is there a second Mavis in the universe?"
Zhang Dingtian, Bai Xue, and the rest were puzzled.
What did she mean?
The flames around Yan Gang dissipated as he stared deeply at Mavis, his tone much more respectful, "Is this your territory?"
Lulu didn't answer, instead beckoning Yan Gang with her finger, "Continue, I still want to test the power of the White Flash."
Yan Gang smiled bitterly, "I'm not here to fight. The heir of the Huo family, Huo Xiaoling, has been captured by Qingyu. He has a condition; you must return the things he left behind in the capital."
Lulu frowned, "What does that have to do with me? You're not going to fight?"
Yan Gang stood there calmly, not wanting to fight at all. His attitude was completely different from before.
Lulu was bored and pursed her lips before charging into the city.
Seeing Lulu Mavis leave, Yan Gang soared into the air. His tone immediately turned cold, "Did you hear what I just said?
Who's in charge?
Tell him to come out and talk to me. "
Zhou Shan immediately headed to the city to look for Lu Yin.
The stone belonged to the capital, so the decision should have been made by Zhang Dingtian. However, Lu Yin had obviously obtained some sort of inheritance, so he couldn't just give it to someone else. He had to discuss it with Lu Yin first. Although he didn't want to admit it, Lu Yin was now the greatest protector in the capital.
"Jeraldine, what's the Mavis Bank?" Bai Xue suddenly asked.
Jeraldine and Gerlaine glanced at each other and said solemnly, "The universe is boundless and has given birth to countless empires and powers. These powers all have their own laws of exchange and currency, and the only bank that can issue the universal currency is the Mavis Bank. The Mavis Bank has branches all over the universe and issued the same currency. It is an incomparably large and ancient economic overlord."
Needless to say, just the fact that they were the only universal currency in the universe was enough to let people know what the Mavis Bank was. Compared to the entire universe, Earth was just a tiny planet. Even so, there were still many banks on Earth, and there was no such thing as the only universal currency on Earth. However, the Mavis Bank was actually able to issue universal currency across the entire universe.
It was no wonder that even the arrogant Yan Gang didn't dare to act impudently. If that woman really was from the bank, her background far surpassed Huo Xiaoling, Raas, and Jenny Auna.
Within the capital, Lu Yin was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. His body was drenched in sweat, and his fists were clenched tightly.
In his dream, he saw a snow-white finger shattering the void and traversing time to descend. It spread across countless stars and got closer and closer. Lu Yin suddenly roared, "How dare you!" He stood up abruptly and panted heavily. His eyes were unfocused and unfocused, and it took a while for him to calm down. He shook his head vigorously with a confused look in his eyes.
Zhou Shan arrived at this time, "What's wrong, Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin crawled up from the ground, exhausted, "Nothing, why are you here?"
Zhou Shan looked at him suspiciously, as if he'd just been fished out of water, "Are you really alright?"
Lu Yin shook his head, "I'm fine."
"Someone called Yan Gang wants to take the stone away on behalf of Qingyu," Zhou Shan said.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed and he nodded, "Let's go meet him."
Zhou Shan nodded. "Do you want to change your clothes?"
"I'll change when I get back," Lu Yin replied and flew out of the city.
Along the way, Zhou Shan told him about how Lulu had defeated Yan Gang. Lu Yin was shocked when he heard Lulu's name; if he remembered correctly, there was only one surname in the entire universe: the Mavis Bank.
The Mavis Bank wasn't an ordinary bank; he'd wanted to open an account there, but he hadn't been able to. Even ordinary rich families weren't qualified to do so, as the Mavis Bank was the only bank that could exchange universal currency. If it really was the Mavis Bank, then that woman's background was terrifying.
