Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue looked on in disbelief, "You're not dead, Liu Shaoge?"
Liu Shaoge smiled and bowed respectfully, "Young Master, I've taken control of all the captured students, seventy-two in total. That's enough."
Qingyu nodded and looked up at the sky, "Your trial is over. If you want these seventy-two lives, let me go."
"Why, Liu Shaoge?" Bai Xue shouted, glaring at him.
Liu Shaoge smiled, "Little Xue, Earth is too small. I want to go to the stars."
"You betrayed us, but what about Wang You?
Tong Zhan? "Bai Xue shouted.
Liu Shaoge shrugged, "They're really dead. People who don't know what's good for them don't deserve sympathy." He looked at her warmly, "Actually, with your innate gift, you should go to the stars. Give it up, you're a cultivator with an innate gift of ice. Your future shouldn't be limited to Earth."
Zhang Dingtian's eyes went wide as he bit his lip.
The pain that Qingyu had inflicted on Earth was nothing compared to what Liu Shaoge had done. At the beginning of the Apocalypse, Liu Shaoge had ordered an entire city of survivors to be burned to ashes. His own body had been burned, and he had experienced extreme pain. That had been the first time he had experienced such pain, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life. He had thought that it would be difficult for him to get revenge, but not only had Liu Shaoge survived, he had even appeared in front of him.
Liu Shaoge faced Bai Xue as Qingyu waited for a reply from the stars.
He closed his eyes and summoned his die in his right hand. He crushed a star crystal, and the die frantically absorbed the energy. This was his only chance, and he hoped that he would get it.
Outside Earth, in a giant spacecraft, Sigmund sighed, "It's over. All trials have failed."
No one refuted him; Qingyu was invincible in the same realm, and no one could defeat him.
Torry Auna felt it was a pity, "If only that girl from the Mavis Family had gone as well. She might have been able to defeat Qingyu."
Shalosh sneered, "The Mavis Family is the Mavis Family, and the Great Yu Empire is the Great Yu Empire. So what if the Mavis Family defeated Qingyu?
Will that girl become a citizen of the Great Yu Empire? "
Torry Auna didn't refute him; it was the truth.
Sigmund turned to Mira, "Miss Mira, I'm sorry to have let you witness a failed trial."
The corners of Mira's mouth curled up in a smile. Her eyes were faintly red as she looked at the light screen. "Failed?
Is it over? "
Sigmund nodded helplessly, "Sorry."
Mira smiled and said, "Let's wait for a while.
Isn't the trial the point of coming back from the jaws of death? "
Torry Auna replied bitterly, "Qingyu is from the Daynight Clan, and he's a fugitive they're after. He's much stronger than his peers, let alone Sentinel students. He's almost invincible on Earth, even if he's only a Sentinel."
At the mention of the Daynight Clan, even Mira's expression turned serious. "How do you plan to deal with him?"
"The Daynight clan has sent word that we should try our best to capture them alive. If they're dead, their corpses are to be sent back to the Daynight clan. Their ancient inheritance stones must be brought back," Sigmund said.
Mira nodded, "That means we don't care if they're dead or alive."
Everyone fell silent; they were indeed considering whether or not to kill Qingyu. Qingyu had tried to trade the lives of seventy-two students for a chance to escape, but that was impossible. The pressure from the Daynight Clan was far greater than the lives of the seventy-two students.
"Let's wait a little longer. The Youth Council's rules state that the trial isn't over as long as there are still participants who haven't lost their ability to fight. Look, isn't that someone's still trying?" Mira stared at the screen where Lu Yin had just crushed a second star crystal.
"Liu Shaoge!" Zhang Dingtian roared, blood staining his clothes as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You're not dead?" Liu Shaoge was astonished.
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand. A ray of light bloomed and blasted towards Zhang Dingtian. Along the way, Zhang Dingtian's attack was easily shattered. Bai Xue appeared in front of Zhang Dingtian, layers of ice erected in an attempt to block Liu Shaoge's attack. However, facing the power of the Three Saints of Bai Xue, Liu Shaoge displayed terrifying strength. The light crushed and blasted Bai Xue and Zhang Dingtian back at the same time.
Gerlaine and Balaror woke up from their stupor and were about to attack again, but they immediately stopped. This native seemed to be extraordinarily strong.
"Don't break that woman," Qingyu said coldly as he glanced over.
Liu Shaoge bowed and grunted in acknowledgment before turning back to Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue, "The so-called Seven Saints are a joke. Wang You and Tong Zhan were captured by me, they're too weak. Zhang Dingtian, you might have been able to fight me at your peak, but you're nothing now. You have no idea how strong I am."
Zhang Dingtian spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn't even hold his blade properly.
Bai Xue's eyes were bloodshot, her gaze cold.
Not too far away, Lu Yin was vexed. He had rolled two pips the first time, which allowed him to disintegrate things. He immediately crushed a second star crystal and rolled five pips. He glanced at the smug Qingyu and Liu Shaoge, who had defeated both Zhang Dingtian and Zhang Dingtian. He took a deep breath and tried again.
When the die stopped spinning, the five faces disappeared to reveal a four. Lu Yin was excited; this was it!
The next moment, he entered a greyish white space, the Time Stop Space.
He took out all the star crystals he had left from his cosmic ring and threw them at the numbers. Immediately, the number increased from 25920 to 43680. Five days. He had used up all the star crystals he had left to increase his time by two days. He then began to treat his injuries, took out his star chart, and immersed himself in it. Five days was enough time for him to simulate the fourth star. As for how strong the Cosmic Palm with four stars would be and whether or not it would be able to block Qingyu, he would have to give it a try.
Five days was a long time in the greyish white space. There was no sound or scenery, only loneliness.
By the end of the third day, Lu Yin's injuries had healed considerably, and the fourth star of the Sirius Art was becoming clearer and clearer.
By the end of the fourth day, the fourth star had appeared.
When the number reached zero, Lu Yin's vision changed and he left the greyish white space. Time had not changed in the real world; Qingyu was still looking up at the sky, Liu Shaoge was still as indifferent as ever, and Bai Xue and the rest were furious. Many of the students were lying on the ground, heavily injured.
"Are you not going to answer me?
Do you really want to kill me? "
Qingyu shouted, his figure vanishing and reappearing in front of the captured students. He grabbed Huo Xiaoling's long red hair and sneered, "I'll bury her with me."
Huo Xiaoling was furious, her terrifying power spiraling as she tried to break through her seal.
Qingyu was cold and arrogant, "You want to break through?
Think carefully. A Melder who failed a Sentinel trial mission can join the Astral Combat Academy? "
Huo Xiaoling's face paled; Qingyu had told her this many times already, which was why she had willingly allowed herself to be captured. She was a dignified Melder with an innate gift, yet she had failed a Sentinel trial mission. To the Astral Combat Academy, such students were trash.
It wasn't just the Astral Combat Academy; no other academy in the universe would accept such a student. This would be the greatest stain on her life.
Huo Xiaoling closed her eyes and retracted her star energy; she couldn't break through even if she died.
Outside Earth, Sigmund grew anxious, "Miss Mira, we can't wait any longer. Huo Xiaoling can't die."
Torry Auna and Shalosh were also staring at the screen; if Huo Xiaoling died on Earth, the Great Yu Empire would be shaken. The Huo family wasn't to be trifled with, and they would all be in trouble.
Mira didn't pay any attention to Huo Xiaoling; a mere scion from a peripheral planet wasn't worth her attention. She kept her eyes on Lu Yin, who seemed to have changed from the very beginning. The most obvious change was the injury on his hand, which had healed so quickly.
Was it an innate gift?
Was it that die?
They had all seen Lu Yin's innate gift die; it had been strange at first, but they hadn't thought much of it since anything could happen. Now, however, it seemed that it wasn't ordinary at all.
"Miss Mira," Sigmund said anxiously.
Mira's lips curled up as she pointed at the screen, and everyone looked over in shock.
Back on Earth, Qingyu, who should have been a threat to Huo Xiaoling, was now a dozen meters away from her. He had just been pushed back by a ferocious palm strike?
What a joke, Qingyu looked up and stared ahead.
It wasn't just Qingyu; everyone else stared blankly. Lu Yin stood in front of Huo Xiaoling and withdrew his hand, "You seem to have forgotten about me."
Everyone looked at Lu Yin; this person had pushed back Qingyu?
Gerlaine swallowed her saliva.
Jeraldine was shocked; ever since she had followed this person, her worldview had been completely refreshed. Qingyu had swept through all the other students, but this person had actually pushed him back.
