Chapter 32

Zhang Dingtian was also taken aback for a moment, saying, "He is a friend of Zhou Shan and also a Tier-Tian powerhouse."

Even the Dean was amazed, "Tier-Tian? An Earthling?"

Lu Yin nodded.

The Dean was even more surprised, "I didn't expect that besides you seven and the Indian ascetic monks, someone else could reach Tier-Tian at this time. Incredible, young man, how did you do it?"

Lu Yin replied with a faint tone, "Talent."

The Dean accepted it, as there seemed to be no other explanation.

"Dean, what exactly happened?" Bai Xue asked.

The Dean sighed, "The Institute of Science was breached, and all information was taken by that alien boy."

"What information did he get? It seems the Institute of Science didn't have any information that would interest him," Zhang Dingtian said, puzzled.

The Dean shook his head and frowned, "I don't know either. He connected the device on his wrist to the Institute's optical brain and soon became ecstatic."

"Personal terminal," Bai Xue said solemnly, "This is alien technology, far surpassing Earth's technology. Perhaps the Institute couldn't identify the information, but he could. No wonder he wanted to destroy the Institute; he probably didn't want us to know."

"No, I destroyed the Institute," the Dean said.

Several people were surprised.

The Dean smiled bitterly, "That person killed all the researchers as soon as he entered and probed the optical brain. I had to destroy the Institute to prevent the underground from being exposed, and this was the only way to notify you all."

Lu Yin admired the old man's courage; he wasn't afraid of being buried alive.

Zhang Dingtian frowned, "With the Institute destroyed, all information is gone. We can't even find them to seek revenge."

The Dean shook his head, "Who said the information is gone? If the Institute's destruction meant the information was gone, what would be the point of me being the Dean?" As he spoke, he opened the underground in front of Zhang Dingtian and the others, "All the Institute's information is backed up underground. You should have the alien technology, try it out; perhaps you can analyze something."

Zhang Dingtian, Bai Xue, and Lu Yin immediately went down.

Soon, the three of them looked at the light screen projected by the personal terminal, their faces filled with shock.

The light screen played the explosion that occurred more than half a year ago. In the Institute's light screen, the explosion was nothing special; everything was destroyed. However, under the analysis of the personal terminal, a black shadow rushed westward during the explosion, disappearing in an instant. This scene could only be analyzed by the personal terminal because the black shadow was too fast.

The three of them had serious expressions.

The Dean was shocked, "What is that black shadow? A person?"

Lu Yin said calmly, "More than half a year ago, I remember the Seven Sages hadn't reached Tier-Tian yet. This speed is comparable to Tier-Tian. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that corpse. Only that corpse had the possibility."

The Dean was surprised, "You mean that person wasn't dead?"

Lu Yin nodded, "Using energy to cover oneself, making all bodily functions stop, it's like being dead. It's normal for Earth technology not to be able to distinguish. It seems that corpse is the fugitive in the student trial mission."

The group was silent, staring at the light screen.

Lu Yin looked at the Dean, "I have a question. Why did you move that corpse back then? Zhou Shan told me it was because of some uncontrollable substance."

The Dean glanced at Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue, "We analyzed that the corpse had a peculiar substance. Once it erupted, the consequences would be unimaginable. We indeed couldn't control it and had to move it."

"Back then, No. 1 was worried about the substance erupting during the move, so he dispersed us seven to prevent any accidents. We didn't expect the end times to come, but fortunately, we seven could protect the survivors," Bai Xue said solemnly.

Lu Yin sighed, "No. 1 was truly a great person. If he had let you seven protect, you might not have died."

The Dean sighed, "There was no way to predict this. Now it seems that the culprit is that corpse. It triggered the explosion and created the end times."

Lu Yin frowned, feeling something was off. Why would that corpse create the end times? The end times mean evolution for Earth. Wasn't he afraid of attracting the Da Yu Empire?

"When we studied the corpse, we placed a nanotracker in its skin tissue. Let me see if I can find the location information," the Dean said, fiddling with the optical brain. After a while, he opened a world map and said excitedly, "I found it. The last place the tracking signal disappeared is here."

Everyone looked, "Europe, Mediterranean."

"That alien student is heading to the Western Mediterranean," Zhang Dingtian said solemnly.

"Should we go?" Bai Xue asked.

Zhang Dingtian stared at the screen, "No."

Lu Yin said calmly, "That corpse was once a strong wanderer in the cosmos. Even if it is now severely injured and near death, it must have the ability to save itself. It's too dangerous for us to go."

The Dean said, "Don't worry. If those alien students couldn't catch him, he will definitely come back."

Lu Yin looked at the Dean with confusion.

The Dean said, "His things are in the Institute; he won't give them up."

"What things?" Lu Yin asked. When the corpse was brought back to Earth, no one knew what else was brought back, only that there was a war knife.

The Dean was about to speak but was stopped by Bai Xue, "This is a state secret and cannot be disclosed."

Lu Yin laughed, "The end times have come, and the highest leaders are you seven Sages. What secrets are there?"

Bai Xue stared at Lu Yin, "We don't know your background. Who knows if you're an alien student?"

"Zhou Shan can vouch for me. I was in the penal camp before the students arrived," Lu Yin frowned.

Bai Xue's lips curved into a beautiful arc, "I remember those students said Earth was already under the surveillance of the Da Yu Empire. Arriving early is not impossible."

"Quibbling, you say whatever you want," Lu Yin was annoyed. This woman seemed to be against him everywhere, and he heard she had a relationship with Liu Shaoge, which made him even more irritated.

Bai Xue said calmly, "I'm just speaking the truth."

"I must tell you, those students were just the first batch of trial participants. The second batch is coming, and there will definitely be enemies you can't handle. I can help you, don't be ungrateful," Lu Yin said.

Bai Xue snorted, "If you're an Earthling, you should help us. Otherwise, you're a traitor. If you're not an Earthling, it's useless for us to beg you."

Lu Yin's teeth ached; this woman's analysis made sense.

Zhang Dingtian looked at Lu Yin and said solemnly, "Your identity is unclear. Zhou Shan can only represent himself. If you want to know the state secrets, you need a vote from the Seven Sages."

Lu Yin waved his hand, "Forget it. Communications are cut off now. Where do we vote? Besides, this woman has a strong influence, and I would be at a disadvantage in the vote." He then left directly.

Zhang Dingtian watched Lu Yin's back, deep in thought.

Bai Xue said, "This person is very strong. I can't understand it. Besides us seven and the foreigners who accepted the inheritance, how could someone else break through to Tier-Tian at this time?"

"It's not impossible. The Indian ascetic monk was the first to break through Tier-Tian without accepting the inheritance. He is only the second," Zhang Dingtian said.

Bai Xue nodded. She wasn't targeting Lu Yin but genuinely found him suspicious. He was too strong and a bit greedy. Thinking about how he took the two alien students' spatial rings in front of her made her uncomfortable.

Walking out of the underground, Lu Yin had a serious expression. Now that Earth was in the end times, alien students were acting recklessly, a fugitive with unknown strength was hiding, and the second batch of trial participants was about to arrive. Earth was getting more and more chaotic, and his strength was still improving too slowly.

The Da Yu Empire was just one of the many empires in the Canglan territory. The outer universe had many territories, and countless geniuses were born. He couldn't even handle ordinary students from the Da Yu Empire, let alone the top students from the Yu Tang and the young strong men from the Imperial Court's Thirteenth Team. He needed to speed up.

"Grainy, come here," Lu Yin shouted.

In the distance, Grainy walked over, "What's up?"

"Spread the word that the fugitive is in the Mediterranean of Europe," Lu Yin said calmly.

Grainy was surprised, "Really?"

Lu Yin nodded, "Go."

Grainy frowned, "If you know, why don't you go yourself?"

"Just do it, no need for so many questions," Lu Yin said impatiently.

Grainy was annoyed, opened her personal terminal, and sent a message to the star network.
