Chapter 53

Bai Xue was furious. Lu Yin, that bastard, was definitely seeking revenge. When she had prevented him from seeing what Qing Yu had left behind, this bastard had waited until now to take his revenge. It was too despicable!

She wanted to confront Lu Yin, but at such a time, the more she saw him, the more unclear things would become, and who knew what rumors might spread. Bai Xue could only endure it.

The next afternoon, a figure descended upon the capital, the air distorting as a massive surge of star energy swept across the sky, overwhelming the entire city.

Zhang Dingtian and others immediately rushed out, looking up into the sky.

The person who arrived was Yan Gang.

"Hand over what Qing Yu left in the capital immediately," Yan Gang shouted, coldly looking down at everyone.

Zhang Dingtian gripped his long saber and rose into the air. "Who are you?"

"Yan Gang, from the Flame Star," Yan Gang said arrogantly and coldly, looking down on Zhang Dingtian with disdain.

Below, Gulesi exclaimed, "Flame Star?"

Bai Xue was puzzled. "What about the Flame Star?"

Gulesi said solemnly, "The Flame Star is one of the vast powers in the Canglan territory, on par with the Da Yu Empire. This planet is engulfed in flames, and the people on it are very strong, especially in fire combat techniques, which are unparalleled."

Grannie said in a deep voice, "Ordinary fire combat techniques are useless against them. Their skin, long exposed to flames, has already mutated."

"Any Flame Star person who appears in the Da Yu Empire is at least a Fusion Realm expert. This Yan Gang is definitely one, and he is definitely stronger than Mono," Gulesi said solemnly.

Bai Xue looked up at Zhang Dingtian, her eyes filled with worry. The enemies were getting stronger and stronger.

"If you want it, let Qing Yu come and take it himself," Zhang Dingtian said in a deep voice, gripping his battle saber. This saber belonged to Qing Yu. His own saber had been destroyed by Mono, and this one was his weapon.

Yan Gang sneered, "A mere ant doesn't deserve to speak to me." With that, he casually waved his hand, and star energy accompanied by scorching heat surged toward Zhang Dingtian. Zhang Dingtian's eyes widened, and he used the Body Movement Step to rush toward Yan Gang, slashing his saber. The blade vibrated rapidly, incorporating the changes of the Wave Palm. It was this very move that had injured Mono.

Zhang Dingtian's saber strike was powerful. He was originally a cross-realm expert, and with the integration of combat techniques, even Yan Gang was surprised. Suddenly, Yan Gang's hands collided, and flames erupted, forming a spear that stabbed toward Zhang Dingtian.

The saber and spear clashed, and flames like meteors fell upon the capital, causing panic and burning the earth. The air in the sky was pushed aside, and shockwaves scattered in all directions.

With a loud boom, Zhang Dingtian could not withstand Yan Gang and was knocked down, landing heavily on the ground.

High in the sky, Yan Gang looked at Zhang Dingtian in amazement. "To survive my spear strike, few in the Exploration Realm can do that. You are quite good. You can follow me."

Bai Xue, Zhou Shan, and others looked at Yan Gang with anger. These trial students always looked down on Earthlings, and asking them to follow was like a favor. This was pure survival of the fittest.

Grannie was surprised. "Fire talent?"

Gulesi said in a deep voice, "No, the skin of Flame Star people has mutated, allowing them to produce flames through high temperatures. It's a kind of talent, and this person is really strong."

Lu Yin was still asleep, and everyone was helpless against Yan Gang.

Yan Gang, cold and proud, pointed his flaming spear downward. "I'll say it again. Hand over the item, or I'll turn you all into ashes."

Zhang Dingtian coughed up blood. "Give him the stone."

Everyone was saddened.

Gulesi raised an eyebrow. Stone? What stone?

At that moment, a green figure soared from a distance, disappearing and reappearing behind Yan Gang. "You're quite good. Let me try White Flash."

"What?" Yan Gang's eyes narrowed; he didn't react in time.

Bang

Everyone was stunned, looking at the crater on the ground outside the capital. The once arrogant Yan Gang was now lying on the ground like a dead dog.

High in the sky, the green-clad woman was excited, clenching her fists and muttering to herself.

Yan Gang roared in anger, his eyes red with fury, staring at the sky. "Bitch, I'll kill you!" He charged forward, flames enveloping his body, forming a suit-like armor. His flaming spear pierced the air, aiming at the green-clad woman.

The green-clad woman was excited. "Come on." She didn't seem to do anything, but her body suddenly disappeared. Then, Yan Gang spat out a mouthful of blood, struck by an invisible attack, his body bending and falling into the ground again.

The green-clad woman reappeared, looking down with satisfaction.

Everyone was stunned. The gap was too large.

This time, not only did the others notice, but Yan Gang himself also felt the significant gap. He climbed out of the deep pit, looking up at the green-clad woman in shock. "Who are you?"

The green-clad woman lifted her head. "Lulu Mibis."

Hearing this name, Yan Gang, Gulesi, Grannie, and others were shocked. "Mibis? That Mibis?" Yan Gang exclaimed.

Lulu Mibis smiled. "Is there a second Mibis in the universe?"

Zhang Dingtian, Bai Xue, and others were puzzled. Mibis? What does that mean?

The flames around Yan Gang dissipated, and he looked at Mibis with a much more respectful tone. "Is this your place?"

Lulu Mibis didn't answer but beckoned to Yan Gang. "Continue. I want to try the power of White Flash."

Yan Gang smiled bitterly. "I didn't come to fight. The successor of the Fire family, Huo Xiaoling, was captured by Qing Yu. Qing Yu has a condition: he must get back what he left in the capital to release Huo Xiaoling."

Lulu Mibis frowned. "What does that have to do with me? You're not fighting anymore?"

Yan Gang stood calmly, showing no desire to fight, his attitude completely different from when he first appeared.

Lulu Mibis found it boring, pouted, and flew directly into the city.

Watching Lulu Mibis leave, Yan Gang rose into the air, his tone becoming colder. "Did you hear what I said? Who's in charge? Call them out to talk to me."

Zhou Shan immediately went into the city to find Lu Yin.

The stone belonged to the capital, and the decision should have been in Zhang Dingtian's hands. However, Lu Yin had clearly inherited something, and he couldn't make the decision to give it to someone else without consulting Lu Yin. Although he was reluctant to admit it, Lu Yin was now the greatest protector of the entire capital.

"Grannie, what is Mibis?" Bai Xue suddenly asked.

Grannie and Gulesi exchanged glances and said solemnly, "The universe is infinitely vast, giving birth to countless empires and vast powers. Each of these powers has its own trading currency and rules. The only bank that can issue a universal currency across the universe is the Mibis Bank. The Mibis Bank is spread throughout the universe, issuing a unified currency, and is an incredibly vast and ancient economic ruler."

Without further explanation, the fact that it is the only bank in the universe to issue a unified currency is enough to make people understand what Mibis is. Compared to the universe, Earth is a very small planet. Even so, there are many banks on Earth, and there is no single bank that issues a universal currency for Earth. The Mibis Bank, however, can issue a universal currency for the entire universe, which is a terrifying influence.

No wonder the arrogant Yan Gang didn't dare to act recklessly. If that woman is really from the Mibis Bank, her background would far surpass that of Huo Xiaoling, Las, and Jenny Ona.

Inside the capital, Lu Yin lay on the ground, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, his body drenched in sweat, and his fists clenched.

In his dream, he saw a snow-white finger crush the void, crossing time and space, spreading across countless stars, getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Lu Yin shouted, "Bold!" He suddenly sat up, breathing heavily, his eyes unfocused. After a while, he calmed down, shook his head, and looked bewildered.

At that moment, Zhou Shan arrived. "Lu Yin, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yin got up from the ground, looking exhausted. "Nothing, why are you here?"

Zhou Shan looked at Lu Yin suspiciously, who looked like he had just been pulled out of water. "Are you really okay?"

Lu Yin shook his head. "I'm fine."

"Someone named Yan Gang is here representing Qing Yu to take away the stone," Zhou Shan said.

Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he nodded. "Let's go and meet him."

Zhou Shan agreed. "Do you want to change your clothes?"

"Later," Lu Yin replied, flying out of the city.

On the way, Zhou Shan described how Lulu Mibis defeated Yan Gang. Hearing the name Lulu Mibis, Lu Yin was surprised. Mibis, if he remembered correctly, was a surname that only existed once in the universe, the Mibis Bank.

The Mibis Bank was not an ordinary bank. He had once wanted to open an account at the Mibis Bank but didn't have the qualifications. Even ordinary wealthy families didn't have the qualifications. The Mibis Bank was the only bank that could exchange universal currency in the universe. If this was really the Mibis, that woman's background was terrifying.
