Chapter 39

After hearing Gules' words, Lu Yin raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a half-smile, "You want to split it?"

Gules raised her eyebrows, "You don't want to split it?"

The two looked at each other.

Bararola tugged at Gules and whispered, "We can't be seen, or it will be bad for your brother if it gets back to the academy."

Gules nodded and said to Lu Yin, "You play by yourself, we'll hide," then hid with Bararola.

Lu Yin didn't object; he still didn't trust these two to be around him, so it was better for them to hide.

In the distance, two figures slowly appeared.

Ten minutes later, a notification came through the area network: two more people had been defeated.

After five days, the students thought the Sky Thief had given up, but unexpectedly, he appeared again, and without any warning.

Gules looked at Lu Yin excitedly, "Quick, how much did you get? Let's split it."

Lu Yin looked at Gules, "Are you sure?"

Gules stared at Lu Yin and muttered, "You're not thinking of keeping it all to yourself, are you?"

Lu Yin thought for a moment and threw a star energy crystal to Gules, "Take it."

Gules was furious and spat at Lu Yin, "Bastard, so stingy."

Lu Yin smiled, "You're the one who didn't want it, don't blame me." He had long seen that this woman had a problem with her character. She helped him rob because she was unhappy, and even if he didn't give her the star energy crystal, she would still help. Unless she could take it back from him, Lu Yin wasn't worried about her backing out.

With Gules' help as an insider, Lu Yin's robbery went very smoothly. In a few days, he had robbed several groups and managed to gather five cubic meters of star energy crystals, making even Gules envious.

Four days before the arrival of the second batch of trainees, Lu Yin encountered his first real crisis since the apocalypse. He was surrounded by seven students, three of whom were the strongest in the academy.

On the rooftop of the abandoned county town supermarket, Lu Yin scanned the group. Gules had discovered through her personal terminal that there were only two people here, but suddenly seven appeared, and the other five were not wearing personal terminals, just like him, hiding.

These people had gone all out to catch him, even discarding their personal terminals.

"Are you the Sky Thief? With only 2,100 combat power, it seems your combat skills are quite impressive," a rough-looking student said sternly. He was one of the strongest in the academy.

Beside him, a plain-looking but curvaceous woman giggled, "Many people use star energy crystals to train their combat skills rather than for cultivation. Junior, are you like that too? Can you tell your senior sister what your combat skill is?"

Lu Yin looked at the woman, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "Want to know? Come and try."

The woman giggled, raised her hand, and aimed an energy gun at Lu Yin, "Junior, do you know that sometimes combat doesn't have to rely on yourself, external objects are also important."

At the same time, the others also took out energy guns and aimed at Lu Yin.

These energy guns could injure Realm Explorers. When Terres was dying, he had shot through Granie's shoulder with one, showing their considerable power.

Lu Yin's eyes scanned the group. Suddenly, he took out a flame crystal from his Condensation Ring and threw it on the ground. The raging flames burned the building, obscuring the view. The group fired simultaneously, but Lu Yin dodged with his Body Movement Step. He then threw several other supernatural energy crystals, including ice and wind, which enveloped the area in a white mist, obscuring everyone's vision.

These crystals were obtained from the students he had robbed, and now he used them to obscure the view.

Lu Yin performed the Body Movement Step very quickly, leaving only afterimages on the spot. He appeared in front of one of the strongest students and unleashed the Heavenly Star Palm without hesitation. The student's ring armor instantly shattered, and he fell to the ground. Lu Yin then spun his body and unleashed the Sky Splitting Palm, which shattered the building and dispersed the void. Four of the remaining six students were severely injured, and the two remaining strongest students broke through the Sky Splitting Palm and attacked Lu Yin.

Lu Yin's gaze was fierce, and he unleashed a powerful double-handed attack. Two stars appeared in his palms, and he struck one of the students.

Boom

The spot was completely shattered, and the three of them fell vertically, crushing the ground. The abandoned supermarket was split in half.

Suddenly, Lu Yin felt a sharp pain in his back. The student he had just knocked down had stabbed him with a sword, and blood stained his clothes. Lu Yin's Heavenly Star Palm exploded, pushing back the two students. He turned and grabbed the student's arm, drew a short sword, and slashed. The student's pupils contracted, and he immediately let go of the sword and retreated. Lu Yin's sword missed, and he threw the short sword backward. The blade grazed the cheek of one of the students, leaving a trail of blood on the wall, and the short sword pierced through several buildings, embedding itself in an armored vehicle.

The ruined building swayed, and dust flew around.

Lu Yin panted heavily, the pain in his back making him highly alert. These three strongest students in the academy were almost on par with Byle, slightly stronger than Willow. They surrounded him, leaving him no place to hide.

In the distance, Gules and Bararola watched, their eyes flickering.

"Do you think we should take advantage of the situation and rob him?" Gules was eager to try.

Bararola pondered, "We can, but we need to wait until he is seriously injured."

Gules said smugly, "At least Eder isn't stupid and knows to set a trap. Otherwise, I would have helped for nothing."

Bararola was surprised, "You knew this was a trap?"

"Idiot, of course not, but Eder, if he isn't stupid, would definitely try to set a trap. I can help this bastard rob, and Eder can use me to set a trap for him. We're not stupid, right?" Gules shot a glance at Bararola.

"Three students as strong as Byle, even Eder would find it hard to escape in this situation. This guy is done for, hehe," Gules laughed happily and felt relieved.

Of the seven attackers, only three truly posed a threat to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin took a deep breath and took something out of his Condensation Ring, causing the three attackers to change their expressions, "What is this?"

In the distance, Gules was stunned, her face turning red with anger, "This despicable bastard."

Lu Yin smiled, wearing a delicate ring armor that shimmered with lightning. It was Gules' armor, given to her by her brother for protection. Her Condensation Ring had been taken by Lu Yin, and this armor and the unique bow were also taken.

"Gules' armor," the burly man was furious, glaring at Lu Yin, "You dare to rob Gules? You're crazy, her brother is Gurbach."

Lu Yin sneered, "I don't care who he is. Do you think I would choose who to rob? You must be out of your mind." He then unleashed a palm, and the Sky Splitting Palm struck the burly man, who gritted his teeth and resisted, but was pushed back over ten meters, smashing through the supermarket pillars. The supermarket collapsed instantly, and countless rocks fell.

With a thud, Lu Yin and the others rushed out of the ruins. One of them shattered a crystal, and a powerful wind transformed into a green blade, slicing toward Lu Yin. Lu Yin charged toward the green blade, lightning flashing on his body. The green blade had no effect on him, and he appeared in front of the man, striking him with the Heavenly Star Palm, sending him flying and nearly vomiting his organs, causing him to faint.

The other two immediately retreated upon seeing this.

Lu Yin's armor was not something they could penetrate. Even Lu Yin himself had to use his full strength to break through the lightning defense with the Heavenly Star Palm.

Seven attackers, two fled, five were defeated. When this battle result was announced on the area network, all the students were silent, including Eder.

He considered himself the strongest among the first batch of trainees, but even he found it hard to achieve such a result. Immediately, all the allied students received a notification from Eder to abandon the pursuit of the Sky Thief and attack the capital in three days.

Lu Yin sat on the ground casually, his eyes staring into the distance, "Come out."

Gules and Bararola looked at Lu Yin in shock. This man had become famous today. The strongest among the natives was Zhang Dingtian, who had once pushed back Eder and three others with a single strike. That power had made Gules tremble, and now, Lu Yin's strength also shocked her. A single palm had severely injured one of the strongest students in the academy. What combat skill was this?

Lu Yin threw a healing potion to Gules, "Help me apply it."

Gules glared at him, pointing at herself, "What did you say? You want me to apply the medicine for you?"

"Is it hard to understand?" Lu Yin said calmly.

Gules was furious, "You must be dreaming. I am pure and have never touched a man's body. How dare you defile me?"

Lu Yin stared at her coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If I had lost just now, you wouldn't have been so polite, right? Help me apply the medicine now."

"I'll do it," Bararola said.

Lu Yin snorted, "No, your hands are dirty."

Bararola was furious.
