Chapter 36

After listening to Lu Yin's words, Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue looked at each other. This person was right; if he were also a trial student, he wouldn't do such a thankless task.

"I suspect someone else," Lu Yin spoke again, staring at Bai Xue, "Liu Shaoge."

Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue were surprised, "Why?"

"The area of Hubei where he is located is marked in blue. You should know what that means," Lu Yin said calmly.

Bai Xue denied it, "My Northeast, including Zhou Shan's Jinling, are also marked in blue, which doesn't prove anything."

Lu Yin looked at Bai Xue, "You are one of the Upper Three Saints, with the strength to kill trial students. Jinling was saved because of me, otherwise it would have been controlled by students. Liu Shaoge is one of the Lower Four Saints, similar to Zhou Shan. How could he have the strength to resist those students? Look for yourselves, there is more than one trial student in Hubei."

Bai Xue wanted to argue but couldn't find the words. Lu Yin was right; Liu Shaoge didn't have the strength of the Upper Three Saints and couldn't resist those students.

Zhang Dingtian pondered, sheathing his sword, "Without evidence, you can't accuse someone. This applies to you and Liu Shaoge alike." With that, he left.

Bai Xue glanced at Lu Yin and left with a complex expression.

Granny came to Lu Yin's side, puzzled, "Was it really Liu Shaoge who spread the news?"

"How would I know?" Lu Yin said casually.

Granny blinked, "Then why were you so sure just now?"

Lu Yin looked at Granny as if she were an idiot, "If I didn't sound certain, how would they believe me? Throwing the blame must be done steadily, ruthlessly, and accurately. If you don't understand this, you've wasted your years of study." With that, he descended to his residence.

Granny's face turned sour. Throwing the blame? This bastard is indeed despicable.

The anonymous message Granny sent spread quickly within the regional network. Many students who were fighting in Europe immediately rushed to India.

Erd and Haidian hurried to clarify, saying they were just passing by and happened to encounter the Indian monks, so they had a fight. But no one believed them, and more and more students appeared in India.

In the following days, Lu Yin watched the regional network as if it were a movie from a peaceful era. Notifications kept appearing: who was defeated by whom, who died, and so on. Some students rushed from the other side of the ocean, from America, but several were eaten by mutated beasts in the sea. For a time, the messages on the regional network never stopped.

It wasn't until five days later that Erd and Haidian were cleared of suspicion. The fugitive's item was not in India, and suddenly, many students turned their attention to the capital.

Lu Yin sighed. What was to come would eventually come. Trying to confuse the issue wouldn't last long. The students who dared to participate in the trial weren't fools; the capital was the most likely place.

In this situation, Erd connected with many students and proposed controlling the capital to wait for the fugitive. If the fugitive didn't appear within a month, they would all join forces to resist the second batch of trial students.

This proposal received a lot of support from the students.

The Tenth Academy of the Starry Sky was about to arrive in the Canglan territory. It was clear that the second batch of trial students would definitely include extremely strong individuals, and the trial might even be designed for them. The students had no confidence in dealing with them alone, and Erd's proposal gave them hope.

For a time, many students responded positively.

In the capital, Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue looked grim. They had also received the news and knew it was bad. For the next half month, the capital would become a battlefield.

Zhang Dingtian was very strong, but even he had his limits. Moreover, he lacked combat techniques. If he were surrounded, he wouldn't be able to protect the capital. As for Bai Xue, it was even worse. Even if the Seven Saints united, they would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot against the many students.

Lu Yin's face also turned grim when he received the news. In this trial, his identity was that of an Earthling. If he allowed the capital to be controlled, his goal would be greatly diminished. Moreover, he didn't plan to let the fugitive go, nor the items left behind. In short, the capital was very important.

"Lu Yin, let's go quickly. The capital can't hold out," Granny urged.

Lu Yin's eyes were deep in thought. Currently, the top combatants on Earth were at the level of Zhang Dingtian and Erd, with Zhang Dingtian slightly stronger. With many students about to attack the capital, there would be more than one Erd-level strong individual. To break the deadlock, he needed to surpass this level. The only way was to enhance his combat power, at least to the same level as Erd, to make up for the energy intensity gap and use the Sky Star Palm to overwhelm them.

Thinking this, Lu Yin said to Granny in a serious tone, "Stay in the capital. I'll be back in a few days," and then flew into the sky.

Granny gritted her teeth. She wasn't stupid; staying in the capital to die?

Just as Lu Yin was about to leave the capital, he was stopped by Bai Xue. "Are you running away?" Bai Xue asked, looking at Lu Yin accusingly.

Lu Yin said in a serious tone, "I'll be back before the students attack the capital."

"Why should I believe you?" Bai Xue asked, her beautiful face filled with disdain for Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was indifferent, "There's no need for you to believe me. You can't stop me. Or do you want to fight to the death with me before the battle with the students?"

Bai Xue clenched her fists.

"Let him go," Zhang Dingtian's voice came, but he didn't show himself.

Bai Xue had no choice and landed in the capital.

Lu Yin took a deep look at the capital and then flew away.

Not long after leaving the capital, Lu Yin looked at his personal terminal, "The nearest one, it's you," and then he suddenly rushed westward.

After Lu Yin left, Granny also left. She wasn't Lu Yin's servant. If not for Lu Yin's watch, she would have left long ago. This was the perfect opportunity.

However, her plan was beautiful but unachievable. Granny was sadly stopped by Bai Xue.

"Why are you stopping me?" Granny asked angrily.

Bai Xue stared at her coldly, "Because you are Lu Yin's woman. Since he left, you must stay."

"Who is his woman? Don't make things up," Granny said angrily.

Bai Xue, who was helpless against Lu Yin, found it easy to deal with Granny. In a short while, she froze Granny and threw her into Lu Yin's residence. It took Granny a while to thaw.

"Damn Lu Yin, damn ice woman, damn natives, unreasonable brutes," Granny cursed, furious.

In Shanxi, the closest to the capital, there were no Seven Saints guarding Shanxi initially. Therefore, the strongest in Shanxi was only at the Earth level. Despite this, a group of Evolvers gathered in Tongcheng, making it one of the largest gathering places in Shanxi.

Rashe was a very optimistic and easily satisfied person. Although he was the first person below the strongest in the Gailu Academy of the Da Yu Empire, he had no ambition to complete the task. He only wanted to occupy a region and mine peacefully, achieving a little success to meet the requirements, with no intention of causing trouble.

During the two-month safe period, Rashe lived happily. He initially occupied Tongcheng as a Heaven-level strong individual, becoming the protector of Tongcheng and enjoying the worship of countless people. Occasionally, he helped these pitiful survivors fight monsters, but most of the time, he lived very comfortably. Recently, he discovered a unique mineral deposit, which would significantly boost his performance. Thinking about this, Rashe was very happy.

Basking in the sunlight and sipping wine, Rashe squinted and hummed a song from his hometown, "This primitive planet is great. The air is fresh, the people are simple, no one is watching, and you can do whatever you want. Occasionally, you find some precious minerals to gild your performance. Ah, this life is perfect, hahaha."

After enjoying himself for a while, Rashe beckoned, and two beautiful girls approached. One massaged his shoulders, and the other rubbed his legs and poured him wine. Rashe sighed, "Delightful."

Just as Rashe was about to bring the wine glass to his lips, the sunlight above him was blocked. Rashe frowned and looked up. He saw an ordinary-looking, young man floating in the air, staring at him. Hmm? A Heaven-level?

Rashe's face turned serious. He waved away the two obviously frightened girls and stared coldly at the man, "Who are you?"

"Robbery," the man said two words.

Rashe stared at the man blankly, "What, what did you say? Say it again."

The man was naturally Lu Yin. To quickly enhance his strength, he had only one method: to absorb star energy as quickly as possible. Robbery was the fastest way. "I said, robbery."

Rashe was amused, "Kid, you're a trial student, right? How can you be so blind? Do you know who I am? Let me tell you, I—"

Before Rashe could finish, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and was blasted away by a terrifying force, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

In the crater, Rashe coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale as he looked up, "That was? Sky Splitting Palm? Damn, where did this freak come from?"
