Chapter 54

Soon, Lu Yin arrived.

Yan Gang was already impatient, and without Lulu Meibis, his attitude became arrogant again.

Lu Yin saw Yan Gang but ignored him, instead glancing at Bai Xue. He remembered that he seemed to have done something before falling into a deep sleep.

Bai Xue's face was not good, partly because of Yan Gang and partly because of Lu Yin. The rumors in the city were increasing, and she couldn't stop them, feeling secretly angry.

"Where is Lulu Meibis?" Lu Yin asked Granie.

Granie replied, "She went back to the city."

Lu Yin nodded and looked at Zhang Dingtian, "Are you injured?"

Zhang Dingtian said in a deep voice, "This person is very strong, from the Flame Star."

Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. Flame Star? He hadn't heard of it. After coming to the Canglan Domain, he had rushed straight to Earth and didn't know much about the situation there.

Not far away, Yan Gang's gaze turned cold, "Who is the person in charge? Come out and speak."

Lu Yin turned to look at Yan Gang, "What do you want?"

Yan Gang laughed in anger, "Are you ignoring me?"

Lu Yin's lips curled up, "So what if I am?"

Yan Gang's eyes widened, his body temperature rising, distorting the air. But he seemed to think of something, glanced warily at the city, and took a breath, saying coolly, "No nonsense, give me Qing Yu's things."

"Why should I?" Lu Yin countered, his tone not good. Many people who had just woken up were in this state.

Yan Gang's eyes flashed with killing intent, "How dare you, do you know who I am?"

"I don't, and I don't need to," Lu Yin said coolly.

Yan Gang was furious. If not for Lulu Meibis, he would have attacked directly. A mere native couldn't stop him. "State your terms, I must take Qing Yu's things."

Lu Yin had never intended to keep the stone, even without Xia Luo's warning. The stone was too significant, beyond his reach, but he still needed to gain enough benefits in exchange. "Do you represent Qing Yu or the trial students?"

"Qing Yu," Yan Gang said coldly.

Lu Yin said coolly, "I can give him the item, but he must hand over all the captured students to me."

Everyone was surprised, not expecting Lu Yin to make this condition. Recalling Lu Yin's mention of using these students to negotiate with the Da Yu Empire, Zhang Dingtian and others looked more determined.

In reality, Lu Yin cared about the students' star energy crystals, and negotiation was just a side effect.

Yan Gang frowned, "What do you need the students for? By the way, you seem to have captured quite a few students, including Jenny Ona?"

Many students had removed their personal terminals, so their information didn't appear on the regional network. Lu Yin's personal terminal had no name, so some battle reports couldn't be published.

"Seems so," Lu Yin replied.

"Release her," Yan Gang shouted in a deep voice.

Lu Yin sneered, "Who are you to command me?"

Yan Gang glared, "Too insolent," he said, clapping his palms to produce flames and leaping toward Lu Yin. The temper of the Flame Star people was naturally fiery, and he had suppressed it well until now. But because of Lu Yin's words, he attacked again.

Everyone braced for battle.

Lu Yin clenched his right fist, the light around it distorting. Standing on the ground, he punched out, and Yan Gang, who was charging at him, saw a dramatic change. It was daytime, but this punch made Yan Gang see night, the transition from day to night, and an inexplicable pain, as if experiencing a contradiction. He roared, the flames forming a spear that he thrust out, the shockwave crushing the earth. With a loud explosion, Yan Gang was sent flying, the flame spear dissipating, and he retreated several steps in the air.

Lu Yin also took a step back, looking at Yan Gang with a serious expression. This person was indeed very strong, even surpassing Mono, definitely a sealed cultivation realm fusion-stage expert.

The White Night Fist was a legacy combat technique of the White Night clan, more powerful than the Three Stars Palm and the Seven Heavenly Beast Claws. Yet this person had blocked it and remained unharmed, his combat strength was not to be underestimated.

Lu Yin was surprised, and Yan Gang was even more shocked. A mere exploration-stage individual had given him a sense of danger. At the last moment, he had used his full strength. If the attack had been a bit stronger, he might have broken his seal. This native was very strong.

Zhang Dingtian narrowed his eyes. He had fought Yan Gang and knew his terror. Lu Yin could actually repel him, his strength had improved significantly since their first meeting.

Lu Yin's strength earned Yan Gang's respect. Yan Gang descended a bit, looking at Lu Yin seriously, "Jenny Ona is the heir of the Ona family of the Da Yu Empire. Capturing her will bring you great trouble. This planet is ultimately under the Da Yu Empire, and the Ona family has a thousand ways to exterminate the humans on this planet. Think carefully."

Lu Yin said coolly, "I am very clear, no need to say more. If you want the item, have Qing Yu hand over the captured students to me, otherwise, there's nothing to talk about."

Yan Gang nodded helplessly, "Alright, I'll contact Qing Yu," and opened his personal terminal.

Just as Yan Gang was contacting Qing Yu, Lulu Meibis suddenly appeared, startling everyone.

"I knew you received a legacy. That punch was great, let's spar," Lulu Meibis said excitedly, staring at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin smiled faintly, "I refuse."

Lulu Meibis blinked, "Refuse? Why? Strong people should spar more to improve."

"I am not strong," Lu Yin said coolly.

Lulu Meibis shook her head, "Among exploration-stage individuals, you are very good, qualified to fight me. No nonsense, come on."

Zhou Shan and others looked at her strangely. Was this woman lacking in the head?!

Lu Yin was headache. He really didn't want to fight this woman. She was too strong, and getting hit by her would hurt. With the speed he gained from the stone, Lu Yin was sure that once they sparred, he would only be on the receiving end, finding it hard to catch her. He didn't like self-inflicted pain.

"Hey, are you a man or not? Come on, come on," Lulu Meibis shouted.

Lu Yin remained unmoved, looking at Yan Gang.

Lulu Meibis was anxious, but with Lu Yin not moving, she had no choice. She couldn't sneak attack, could she? She was a lady, she only sneaked attacked bad people, not good ones.

Suddenly, Lu Yin's mind stirred. He thought of the Heavenly Star Technique. When the Heavenly Star Technique was activated, it could see through the changes of the Seven Heavenly Beast Claws and learn from them. Could he learn her speed from Lulu Meibis's movements? It seemed possible. Lu Yin's eyes flickered, should he spar with her?

Suddenly, Bai Xue gasped, and everyone looked at her. She was using her personal terminal to communicate with someone.

After a moment, Bai Xue looked up, her face grim, "The Blue Camp has been destroyed."

Zhang Dingtian's eyes turned cold, "Who did it?"

Lu Yin also looked at Bai Xue. The Northeast Blue Camp, created by Luo Sheng, he remembered that Zhao Yu was one of the three Snow Maidens of the Blue Camp.

Bai Xue said in a deep voice, "It wasn't destroyed by people, but by a mutant beast, a huge flying sea turtle."

"A sea turtle?" Several people were surprised, looking at her strangely.

Bai Xue nodded, "According to the personal terminal's detection, the sea turtle's combat strength exceeds ten thousand, and it cannot be precisely detected."

Everyone was shocked. Over ten thousand? A combat strength that could traverse the stars.

The exploration-stage limit was three thousand, the fusion-stage limit was six thousand, and the extreme-stage limit was ten thousand. Anyone with over ten thousand combat strength was called an Explorer, meaning they could explore the universe, traversing the stars without being bound by the universe.

Qing Yu was an Explorer with over ten thousand combat strength, otherwise, he couldn't have survived on Neptune.

There was actually a mutant beast with over ten thousand combat strength on Earth. Where did it come from?

At this moment, Yan Gang seemed to have spoken with Qing Yu and shouted, "Qing Yu has already—," but before he could finish, an overwhelming pressure came from the east, sweeping across the sky and earth. Yan Gang was forced to the ground, his mouth full of dust, and the eastern sky was obscured.

Lu Yin and others looked at the east in shock. A sea turtle, larger than the entire capital, appeared before everyone's eyes. This scene stunned millions of survivors. Was there really such a large sea turtle in the world? It emitted a terrifying aura, the aura of an Explorer, a powerful being that could traverse the stars.

Yan Gang, angry, was about to curse, but he froze when he looked up. What kind of freakish turtle was this?

The sea turtle moved quickly, its massive shadow covering the capital for only a second before disappearing, heading west. Its huge eyes didn't even glance down. To it, Lu Yin and the others were mere ants, ants that could be easily crushed.
