Chapter 50

Bai Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Without Lu Yin, the capital couldn't even be protected, let alone this stone. Anyway, they couldn't figure out this stone either.

Soon, the dean and Bai Xue left, leaving only Lu Yin here.

Lu Yin looked at the stone, slowly took it out, and held it in his hand. It was icy cold, but there was nothing particularly special about it. After looking at it for a while, Lu Yin couldn't see anything and was about to put the stone back and leave.

Suddenly, his gaze turned sharp, and he used the You Shen Bu to reach out and grab towards the corner. A black shadow was exposed, looking at Lu Yin in surprise. Raising a hand, a cold aura spread, Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, and his palm turned into a claw, launching the Heavenly Beast Claw. The black shadow cried out in surprise and hurriedly dodged.

Lu Yin only used one move of the Heavenly Beast Claw, which wasn't very powerful, and the black shadow easily avoided it, revealing a woman in the light. She was beautiful but had a cold demeanor, looking at him coldly.

"Who are you? What's your purpose?" Lu Yin asked. This woman was definitely a student and had considerable strength, but not as strong as Mono, probably on par with Lars.

The woman replied coldly, "My name is Jenny Ona, from the Ona family. You should have heard of it."

Lu Yin frowned, "I haven't heard of it. Tell me your purpose."

Jenny Ona's eyes flashed with coldness, "How dare you speak to me like that!"

Lu Yin was annoyed; this woman was just as full of superiority as Lars. The Ona family? It sounded significant, but he didn't care. "No matter who you are, since you're here, you're not leaving." Saying this, he charged at Jenny Ona. Jenny Ona was startled; she knew the man in front of her had repelled Mono, and she didn't think she was his match. "Stop! I am from the Ona family. My father is Snow Ona, and my uncle is the captain of the 9th team of the Royal Court's 13th team. Don't make a mistake."

Lu Yin grabbed Jenny Ona, who didn't resist much, glaring at him angrily. "I'm warning you again, I'm not like Lars. Our Ona family can influence the empire's decisions. Don't make a mistake."

Lu Yin's gaze changed, and he suddenly let go of Jenny Ona, rushing towards the stone. At the same time, another figure quickly approached the stone, trying to snatch it, but was blocked by Lu Yin.

Lu Yin grabbed the person's arm, which felt smooth. Looking up, it was another woman?

The second woman was dressed in green, like a fairy. Seeing her arm grabbed by Lu Yin, she huffed and kicked him. Lu Yin tried to force her body to turn and defuse the attack, but was shocked to find he couldn't move her. This woman's strength was surprisingly great.

Reluctantly, Lu Yin let go of the woman, dodging her kick and launching the Heavenly Beast Claw with his left hand. The three moves of the Heavenly Beast Claw were enough to defeat a strong opponent like Eud, but they were useless against the woman. She raised her fist and smashed it, shattering the Heavenly Beast Claw, and the remaining force even hit Lu Yin. Lu Yin was startled; she had incredible strength. He activated the Heavenly Star Power, seeing many changes in her punch. It wasn't just one punch but ten punches in an instant.

Lu Yin's gaze was serious as he barely avoided the green-clad woman's punch, keeping a wary eye on her.

The green-clad woman looked at Lu Yin in surprise, "You dodged it?"

Lu Yin frowned, this woman was very strong, not inferior to Mono, no, even stronger. That punch was as powerful as the seventh move of the Heavenly Beast Claw. It seemed to be a casual punch. Where did such a terrifying strong person come from? Was the target the stone?

Just as Lu Yin was about to say something, another figure appeared from the darkness. These people could hide their star energy, avoiding detection by personal terminal combat systems, and were all extremely powerful experts.

The third person to appear made Lu Yin's heart sink. Charlotte, who had given him a strong sense of danger before. That sense of danger was memorable, like the first time he met Silver under the moonlight.

In the narrow underground space, four people faced off, two men and two women.

Jenny Ona looked surprised; she hadn't detected the other two hiding.

The green-clad woman also looked surprised at Charlotte. She hadn't detected this person. When did she hide?

"Is your target this stone?" Lu Yin asked in a deep voice.

Jenny Ona and the green-clad woman didn't speak, but Charlotte smiled gently, "Yes, Lu Yin, do you know the origin of this stone?"

Lu Yin's gaze flickered, "No."

Charlotte smiled, "Then we can talk. This stone is a legacy item of a powerful race in the universe. It's said that you can obtain the combat techniques of that powerful race from it. Qingyu was wanted because of this stone. You didn't know the purpose of the stone, so we can explore it together. I can tell you the method. What do you think?"

The green-clad woman looked at Charlotte in surprise, "You know the method?"

Charlotte smiled, "I know some. This stone is useless for anyone to take away except for the descendants of that powerful race. Others cannot explore the stone. That's why the powerful race hasn't acted personally; otherwise, the entire Canglan territory would suffer. So there's no need to fight over it."

The green-clad woman looked at Lu Yin, "What do you say?"

Lu Yin scanned the three people. Except for Jenny Ona, he wasn't confident in defeating the other two. All the experts in the capital combined couldn't stop them. "Alright, let's explore together, but you can't take the stone away."

Charlotte nodded with a smile, "No problem. Not just us, if you have friends who want to explore, they can join too. The method is simple: a drop of blood. The blood can activate the stone. As for whether we can receive the legacy, it's up to us. I can tell you, it's almost impossible to succeed."

Lu Yin glanced at Charlotte and immediately contacted Bai Xue and Zhang Dingtian. Soon, the two appeared, along with Zhou Shan and Wu Sheng.

Jenny Ona frowned, looking at these people arrogantly.

Zhang Dingtian and the others watched them warily. Three experts, two of whom were on par with Mono. If a battle broke out, it would be a disaster for the capital.

"Don't be on guard. I have no ill intentions. We're just exploring the stone together. Let's start with me," Charlotte said, making a gesture to invite them.

Lu Yin threw the stone, and Charlotte casually drew a drop of blood, which landed on one side of the stone. Immediately, the stone floated in the air, absorbing the blood. Suddenly, everyone felt a pressure descend, and they seemed to see countless combat techniques flash by, along with an indescribable cold and terrifying aura.

Charlotte sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the stone, deep in thought.

The green-clad woman was the second to start. After her blood was absorbed by the stone, she also sat down, looking at the stone with a profound gaze.

The stone had sixteen sides, and everyone formed a circle around it, all starting.

Before starting, Lu Yin glanced at Charlotte. He was certain that if he acted now, he wouldn't fare well. These people seemed unprepared, but they definitely had their own defensive measures.

Without further thought, Lu Yin drew a drop of blood and let it fall on one side of the stone. As the blood was absorbed, he suddenly saw a fist piercing through the sky, crossing ancient time and space to attack him.

Pfft~

Wu Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale. He had failed. Next, Zhou Shan also failed.

It seemed to be a chain reaction. Bai Xue, Jenny Ona, and Zhang Dingtian failed one after another, their faces pale, looking at the stone in shock.

The fist in front of Lu Yin's eyes grew closer and closer. He saw the starry sky, the boundless darkness, and the flow of time. Countless people died from this punch, turning day into night.

Lu Yin subconsciously activated the Heavenly Star Power, gritting his teeth so hard that he bit his lip. The incoming punch slowed down, and he gradually saw it clearly.

The fist, though covering the sky and turning day into night, wasn't impossible to avoid.

Wait, why avoid it?

Lu Yin's eyes suddenly opened wide. Three stars revolved on his body, and suddenly, a fourth star faintly appeared. He had been observing the star map for a while, and at the moment of the punch's pressure, the fourth star barely appeared as a shadow. As the star exploded, the fist in front of him disappeared just as it was about to hit him, and he felt as if he had traveled an endless distance to stand outside a long corridor.

Endless darkness enveloped the surroundings, and the only thing visible was a long corridor filled with an ancient aura and a bloody smell.

Lu Yin couldn't describe the corridor he saw. There was no light source, but the entire corridor was clearly visible. Even though he could see it, the next moment it changed, as if it was a corridor that could transform.

The entire corridor was dark red, with incomprehensible murals carved into the stone walls. The figures in the murals made no sound, but Lu Yin felt as if they were screaming and shouting. The walls seemed to drip blood, and the smell of blood filled his nostrils.
