Chapter 55

Outside Earth, on a massive spaceship, Xikemaldu and others stared intently at the screen, which displayed the turtle.

"General Maldu, a creature with ten-thousand combat power is no longer a trial. Let's capture this creature," Toluona urged, as Janiaona was still in the capital. If this creature attacked the capital, everyone would die.

Xikemaldu clenched his fists and looked at Mira.

Mira's expression was calm, a smile on her lips. "For the young elites of the Great Universe Empire, is death so terrifying?"

Toluona's face changed, and he remained silent.

The giant turtle quickly disappeared, and no one spoke throughout. No one dared to draw the turtle's attention; it was too terrifying. It could crush everyone with its body alone, without even attacking.

Luyin exhaled, hmm? Wait, where's Lulumeibis?

Luyin looked west again, faintly seeing a green figure rapidly moving away. That crazy woman wouldn't be chasing the turtle, would she!

Outside the capital, Yan Gang coughed, choked by the dust and smoke, and finally recovered.

Everyone was still immersed in the terror of the turtle. Yan Gang spoke, "Qingyu agreed, he can trade with you."

"Tell me which one is Qingyu in the area network," Luyin said calmly.

Yan Gang told Luyin.

Luyin contacted Qingyu directly.

"Are you Qingyu?" Luyin asked.

In Northern Europe, Qingyu looked at his personal terminal, a smile on his lips. "You're the native who's been stationed in the capital and captured dozens of students?"

"I have your item. If you want to trade, hand over the students you've captured," Luyin said.

"That kid just talked to me. Fine, do you want Huoxiaoling? I can give her to you too," Qingyu teased.

Luyin's eyes narrowed. He knew Yan Gang was running errands for Qingyu to get Huoxiaoling. He already had Las and Janiaona, so he didn't necessarily need Huoxiaoling, otherwise, Yan Gang would have fought to the death. "Huoxiaoling doesn't matter, but the number of students you have is too small."

Qingyu's eyes flashed. "Kid, the reason I'm trading is because I don't want to run errands. Otherwise, do you think you and your friends could stop me?"

"Of course not, you still retain the strength of a Fusion Realm. However, you can run, and so can we. Hiding with that stone, over time, the trial mission will fail, and the Great Universe Empire will personally capture you. Can you stop them? I know you want to use that stone to escape. Compared to your life, my terms are quite generous," Luyin said.

Qingyu laughed. "Very smart. Yes, I want to use that stone to escape. Fine, I can capture more students. There's a batch here, a total of thirty-two. Is that okay?"

"Okay."

"In ten days, at the base of Zang Peak in India, we'll trade," Qingyu said.

Luyin agreed and then hung up his personal terminal. In ten days, huh?

Yan Gang stared intently at Luyin.

Luyin said to him, "You can go to Northern Europe to pick up Huoxiaoling."

Yan Gang's eyes lit up. "You'd better hand over Janiaona to me. You don't know the power of the Ona family."

"Impossible. You can leave now," Luyin said impatiently.

Yan Gang's eyes flashed coldly, and he left without another word.

After Yan Gang left, Luyin explained the situation to everyone.

Zhangdingtian said solemnly, "I'll go with you. Qingyu is the culprit behind Earth's evolution. Because of him, countless Earthlings have died. I'll make him pay with his life."

Bai Xue also said firmly, "I'll go too."

Luyin looked at Granie. "Spread the word that in ten days, at the base of Zang Peak in India, Qingyu will appear."

"Do you want to use the students to eliminate Qingyu?" Gules asked.

Luyin nodded. "Isn't that your mission? Eliminate him, complete the trial mission, and it will benefit you."

"What about you? Do you also want to avenge the people of this planet?" Gules asked.

Luyin took a deep breath. "The trial is not just for the students but also for us. You have your achievements, and I have mine. Completing the mission can also increase our leverage in negotiations with the Great Universe Empire."

Gules sneered. "You really want to negotiate with the Great Universe Empire? Are you crazy? It's impossible to succeed."

"Let's try," Luyin shrugged indifferently.

Soon, the area network exploded. Qingyu went on a rampage and captured more students, causing most of the students monitoring him in Northern Europe to flee. At the same time, the news that Qingyu would appear at the base of Zang Peak in India spread rapidly. Many students were shocked and rushed to India, regardless of whether the news was true or not. At worst, they would just have to travel a bit further, with no real loss.

Qingyu's whereabouts were completely exposed, and many students rushed to India. This would be the final battle of the trial. Either the students would complete the mission, or the mission would fail, and the Great Universe Empire would intervene. Only these two possibilities existed.

Luyin went into seclusion again, holding a star map and observing the movement of the stars. He hoped to activate the fourth star.

The Heavenly Star Palm was terrifying. Each additional star increased its power exponentially. Three stars could suppress Eud and match Las. Four stars, Luyin guessed, would be enough to suppress Mono and Yan Gang, a Fusion Realm expert with sealed cultivation. The power of the Heavenly Beast Claw and White Night Fist could not be enhanced for now, so the only way to increase his combat strength was through the Heavenly Star Palm.

However, before that, Luyin found a piece of paper, closed his eyes, and recalled a scene from his dream. In his sleep, he dreamed of being crushed by a jade finger crossing the starry sky. The feeling was very real, as if he were truly being crushed, with boundless anger in his heart. That scene was vivid in his memory. He lifted his pen to draw it but hesitated, unable to start. The jade finger piercing the starry sky was clear in his mind, but he couldn't draw it.

Luyin threw the paper away in frustration. He had a feeling that he should draw it, but he couldn't. After thinking for a while, he sighed and gave up. It was just a dream.

Luyin raised his hand, and the dice appeared. The side with five dots was slightly cold, which was Bai Xue's talent, which he could borrow. After using it, it would disappear, and he would need to roll a five again and touch her within ten seconds to use it again.

"An interesting talent," Luyin muttered to himself. He took out a cubic star energy crystal from the Condensation Sky Ring and crushed it, letting the dice absorb it. However, this time, the dice did not absorb it.

"Has it reached its limit? It seems I need to wait for a while," Luyin thought, dispersing the dice and starting to observe the star map.

For many students, this trial was a nightmare. The first batch of trial students fared better. Except for the strongest students from the academy, most ordinary students just wanted to occupy a territory and get a decent score, so they were relatively unscathed. The second batch of trial students were not so lucky. Nearly half were captured in both the capital and Northern Europe, an unprecedented event in the history of the Great Universe Empire's trials.

This was a source of embarrassment for Xikemaldu and others.

More importantly, even the children of powerful families like Las and Janiaona were captured, including some Yutang experts, making it even harder for Xikemaldu and others to hold their heads high.

Mira, however, found it entertaining, occasionally praising them, which sounded more like sarcasm to Xikemaldu and others.

"This is a true trial. In many places, the trials are students overwhelming the natives. That's not a trial; it's more like a staged play. General Maldu, your Great Universe Empire truly lives up to its reputation as a bloodthirsty power," Mira praised.

Xikemaldu was speechless. This woman had just said that the young elites of the Great Universe Empire feared death, and now she was praising them. Wasn't this sarcasm?

"General, we should prepare. In ten days, it will be the final battle. Qingyu gave ten days to allow many students to gather. It seems he is very confident," Toluona said solemnly.

"That Luyin doesn't understand the terrifying power of Qingyu's Fusion Realm. This trial has a ninety percent chance of failing," Shaloshu said coldly from the side.

Xikemaldu looked at the screen. Luyin's actions seemed like a deal with the devil to them. Attempting to trade with Qingyu was courting death. Even if Qingyu was only at the Exploration Realm, the strength of the White Night Clan was not something ordinary elites could match.

Mira looked at the screen, a faint smile on her lips. Fusion Realm? No, that's wrong. She was certain Qingyu was not at the Fusion Realm, and even the peak of the Exploration Realm was hard for him to achieve. His injuries were too severe, and he could barely exert half the strength of the Exploration Realm. Even so, to outsiders, it seemed no different from the Fusion Realm. This was the White Night Clan. She hoped to see a good show in ten days!

Two days later, Yan Gang found Qingyu to take Huoxiaoling, but Qingyu refused.

"Did you get my item?" Qingyu mocked.

Yan Gang was furious. "In eight days, you can trade with those natives. Release Huoxiaoling first."
