Chapter 38

In the distance, two figures hovered in the sky, none other than Gules and Baralo, who had initially tracked Eder and the others. The two did not join forces with Eder; as Gules put it, they were there to reap the benefits without getting their hands dirty.

"Exhausted, let's rest a bit," Gules flicked her long hair, her beautiful face showing a hint of fatigue.

Baralo looked around. This was an open field, a farm, lush and green, which he liked.

Ding ding ding ding

Just as the two landed, their personal terminals beeped. "Huh, 2,100 combat power, there's a student here," Gules looked in surprise at the farm.

Baralo said calmly, "A student? Only 2,100 combat power, let's go check it out."

Gules nodded and slowly walked towards the farm.

Inside the farm, Lu Yin was in a dilemma.

From entering the Visionary Realm to reaching its peak, only a few star crystals were needed. However, from the early Exploration Realm to its peak, the amount of star energy required was hundreds of times more. He had absorbed about one cubic meter of star energy, but it only increased his combat power to over 2,000. A significant portion of the star energy was filtered out as impurities. To reach the peak of the Exploration Realm, he needed to absorb at least four cubic meters of star energy crystals.

So much star energy, even robbing the strongest in the academy might not yield enough.

"It seems I can't reach the peak of the Exploration Realm in the short term. Fortunately, surpassing 2,000 combat power is enough," Lu Yin recalled Baley's strength and muttered.

At this moment, Gules and Baralo were approaching.

Lu Yin sensed them and looked outside the farm, surprised at Baralo. What is this? A plant turned into a spirit?

"Come out, the one inside," Gules called out, flicking her long hair, quite haughty.

Lu Yin walked out of the farm, staring curiously at Baralo.

Gules was dissatisfied, "Hey, why are you staring at a man? I'm the one calling you."

Lu Yin pointed at Baralo, "A plant turned into a spirit?"

Baralo's eyebrows shot up in anger, "Ridiculous," he said, kicking Lu Yin. As a top student of the Great Universe Empire Space Academy, second only to Gules, his combat power was 2,900. He didn't take Lu Yin, with 2,100 combat power, seriously at all.

Lu Yin used the Flowing Body Step to dodge, appearing to Baralo's right side. He pressed his hand on Baralo's abdomen, his voice cold, "Robbery." With that, he unleashed a powerful force from his palm, sending Baralo flying with a force like a cannonball, the Air Splitting Palm tearing through Baralo's surface.

Gules's eyes narrowed, and a uniquely designed bow appeared in her hand, aiming at Lu Yin. Thunder roared in the air.

Lu Yin sensed the danger and dodged with the Flowing Body Step. The arrow tore through the air and shot into the distance. The next moment, the ground shook, and lightning shot into the sky, a violent wave of energy sweeping in all directions.

Lu Yin didn't look back because Gules's next arrow was already aimed at him. He raised his hand to grab Gules, who was disdainful, with lightning coursing over her body. Her lithe and graceful figure was surrounded by thunder, shaking the surroundings and distorting the air. Lu Yin frowned, and as he extended his palm, two stars appeared and exploded, the massive impact barely tearing through the thunder and directly attacking Gules's body.

Gules was shocked; she hadn't expected Lu Yin to break through her thunder defense. This was a defensive armor given to her by her brother, and few in the Exploration Realm could break it. She was thrown back, landing on the ground, her bow falling to the side.

"Don't touch her," a loud voice came from nearby. Baralo, kneeling on one knee, green stripes appearing on his body like waves spreading out. The next moment, the surrounding green plants began to move, the grass under Lu Yin's feet binding him with a will of its own, filled with hostility.

Lu Yin was surprised, his star energy bursting out, shattering the plants and charging towards Baralo. He raised his palm to strike, and Baralo growled, his arms entwined with weeds, striking Lu Yin. With a bang, a wave of energy spread out, the ground splitting and dust rising. Baralo was struck by Lu Yin's palm, spitting blood, his arms twisted irregularly.

"I remember now, you two were also hiding in the capital," Lu Yin said calmly, grabbing Baralo and throwing him towards Gules, appearing in front of her.

At the same time, a regional network notification appeared: "Gules and Baralo have been defeated."

In the distance, Eder was shocked, "Gules was defeated?"

On the grass, Gules glared at Lu Yin, "You're that space pirate."

Lu Yin frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm a good person."

"Bullshit," Gules shouted, her words crude.

Lu Yin was surprised, "A beautiful woman can curse so fluently, quite a temper."

Gules huffed.

Baralo stared at Lu Yin, "Boy, I warn you not to touch her. Her brother is Gurback, one of the strongest in the Great Universe Empire. If you harm her, there will be no place for you in the universe."

Lu Yin pursed his lips, "I said I'm a good person, I don't harm others," he said, taking Gules's Void Ring and wiping a bit of blood from her lip to open it, starting to search for star energy crystals.

Gules and Baralo watched in shock. Is this a good person? His actions were too熟练,肯定是练出来的吧!

"Hey, don't move around, I'll give you what you want, don't mess with my things, you can't touch a girl's stuff," Gules shouted, kicking Lu Yin with her feet.

Lu Yin rolled his eyes, "A bunch of useless things," suddenly his eyes lit up, breathing rapidly. What did he see? A pile of star energy crystals, at least two cubic meters. Lu Yin looked at Gules in surprise, "You're so rich."

Gules gritted her teeth, her face red with anger, "You bastard."

Lu Yin threw the Void Ring to Gules and started searching Baralo.

Baralo was quiet; this person was just robbing, not killing.

The star energy crystals in Baralo's Void Ring were not as many as Gules's, but not much less. Together, they had at least two cubic meters of star energy crystals, quite a fortune!

Lu Yin was satisfied, "You two are great, see you again," he said, about to leave.

Gules shouted, "Bastard, leave your name."

"Call me Brother Seven," Lu Yin waved and started to rise into the air.

Gules was furious, suddenly her eyes twinkled, "Wait, do you want more star energy crystals?"

Lu Yin, who had just flown halfway up, immediately landed, looking at Gules, "What do you mean?"

Gules smiled slyly, "Follow us, I'll take you to rob."

Lu Yin was surprised.

Baralo's face twitched, here we go again. Gules's nature of never losing out was kicking in. This woman was good in every way, but she refused to lose. Once she lost, she would find someone to share the burden, never being the one who lost the most.

Lu Yin looked at Gules strangely, "You, take me to rob? Do I look like an idiot?"

Gules huffed, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. You don't have a personal terminal, you can't find other students. Those students will attack the capital in seven days at most. In seven days, how many can you find by luck? I'll lead you, and you'll hit every time."

Lu Yin sneered, "What if you lead me into a trap?"

Gules lifted her head, "I, Gules, am not that kind of person. Go ask around, who doesn't know Gules's reputation and credit at the Space Academy? My brother is Gurback, would I harm you?"

Baralo was speechless.

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, thinking. With his current strength, even if he fell into an ambush, he could still escape. "Alright, you lead the way, but I'll confiscate your Void Ring and return it when we're done."

Gules gritted her teeth, "Alright."

Half a day later, the three flew north. In the sky, Lu Yin said, "I've always wanted to ask, is this person a plant spirit?"

Baralo was furious, "I was born on a pure plant planet, everyone on our planet is like this. Do you have a problem with it?"

Lu Yin was surprised, "The universe is vast, all kinds of people exist."

Baralo turned away, this bastard talks like he's insulting.

Gules rolled her eyes, "What's the big deal? You've seen Baley, the tallest on their third-gravity planet is only 1.6 meters, the average is 1.2 meters. He's considered tall and handsome. Some planets have people covered in scales, some have four arms, some are dozens of meters tall, all kinds of strange shapes."

"Are you not a student of the Space Academy?" Baralo suddenly asked, looking suspiciously at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin said, "Of course not, I'm from Earth."

Gules and Baralo's eyes widened, feeling deeply humiliated. They had been robbed by a native.

Half an hour later, Gules excitedly said, "They're here, two students are coming."

Lu Yin was excited, glancing at Gules. This woman was more excited than he was. "Hey, bastard, talk about how to divide the spoils."
