Chapter 58

Zhang Dingtian and Baxue looked in disbelief, "Liu Shaoge, you didn't die?"

Liu Shaoge smiled and bowed respectfully to Qingyu, "Young Master, I have already controlled all the captured students, a total of seventy-two, it's enough."

Qingyu nodded and looked coldly at the sky, "Your trial is over. If you want these seventy-two students to live, release me."

"Liu Shaoge, why?" Baxue shouted, glaring angrily at Liu Shaoge.

Liu Shaoge smiled faintly, "Xiao Xue, Earth is too small, I yearn for the stars."

"You betrayed us, what about Wang You and Tong Zhan?" Baxue shouted.

Liu Shaoge shrugged, "They really died, those who don't appreciate their blessings don't deserve sympathy." He then looked gently at Baxue, "Actually, with your talent, you should go to the stars. Give up, your Ice Talent, a Talent Cultivator, your future shouldn't be limited to Earth."

Zhang Dingtian's eyes widened, and he bit his lip.

Lu Yin's gaze was icy cold. The pain Qingyu had inflicted on him and the suffering he had brought to Earth were far less than the harm Liu Shaoge had caused him. At the beginning of the apocalypse, countless survivors in a city were burned to death by Liu Shaoge's order, leaving scars on his body and experiencing extreme pain. It was the first time Lu Yin had experienced such agony, and he would never forget it. He thought it would be hard to get revenge, but he never expected Liu Shaoge to not only be alive but also appear before him.

Qingyu was waiting for a response from the stars, while Liu Shaoge faced Baxue.

Lu Yin closed his eyes, and a die appeared in his right palm. He crushed a star energy crystal, and the die began to absorb it madly. This was the only chance, hoping to roll the right number.

Outside Earth, in a huge spaceship, Xikemaluo sighed, "It's over, the trial mission, a complete failure."

No one contradicted him. Facing Qingyu's peerless strength, no one could defeat him.

Tuo Leona regretted, "If the girl from the Mebis family had come, with the Mebis clan's terrifying power, she might have been a match for Qingyu."

Shaloshu sneered, "Mebis is Mebis, and our Da Yu Empire is the Da Yu Empire. Even if the Mebis clan defeated Qingyu, would that girl become part of the Da Yu Empire?"

Tuo Leona didn't argue, it was a fact.

Xikemaluo turned to Mira, "Miss Mira, I'm sorry to show you a failed trial."

Mira smiled, her eyes faintly red, looking at the screen, "Failed? Is it over?"

Xikemaluo nodded helplessly, "Sorry."

Mira smiled, "Wait a bit longer, maybe there's a turn of events? Trials are about surviving in the most desperate situations, right?"

Tuo Leona said bitterly, "Qingyu comes from the Baiye clan, he is a fugitive ordered to be captured by the Baiye clan. His strength far exceeds that of his peers, let alone some Exploration Realm students. On Earth, he is almost invincible, even if he only retains Exploration Realm strength."

Mentioning the Baiye clan, even Mira's expression turned serious, "What do you plan to do about him?"

"The Baiye clan has sent a message to try to capture him alive. If he dies, his body must be returned to the Baiye clan. Their ancient inheritance stone must be taken back," Xikemaluo said.

Mira nodded, "So, whether dead or alive, right?"

The group was silent. They were indeed considering whether to kill Qingyu. Qingyu's attempt to exchange the lives of seventy-two students for his escape was impossible. The pressure from the Baiye clan far exceeded the lives of seventy-two students.

"Wait a bit longer. According to the rules of the Youth Council, as long as there is still a trial participant who hasn't lost their fighting ability, the trial isn't over. Look, someone is still trying," Mira stared at the screen, where Lu Yin was just crushing the second star energy crystal.

"Liu Shaoge!" Zhang Dingtian roared, his clothes stained with blood, spitting out blood and slashing with his sword.

Liu Shaoge was surprised, "You didn't die?" He then slowly raised his hand, a beam of light blooming and smashing toward Zhang Dingtian. Along the way, Zhang Dingtian's slash was easily shattered. Baxue appeared in front of Zhang Dingtian, layers of ice rising to try to block Liu Shaoge's attack. However, facing the strength of the Three Saints, Liu Shaoge displayed terrifying power, the light crushing and pushing back both Baxue and Zhang Dingtian.

Gulesi and Balaluo woke up and stood up, originally intending to intervene, but immediately stopped. This Earth native seemed to be no ordinary strong.

"Don't damage that woman," Qingyu's gaze swept over, his voice cold.

Liu Shaoge bowed and responded, then looked faintly at Zhang Dingtian and Baxue, "The so-called Seven Saints are just a joke. Wang You and Tong Zhan were both captured by me. They were too weak. Zhang Dingtian, if you could fight me at your peak, what are you now? You never knew my true strength."

Zhang Dingtian spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to even hold his sword.

Baxue glared with red eyes, her gaze icy cold.

Not far away, Lu Yin was frustrated. The first roll of the die was a two, which could decompose things. Lu Yin immediately crushed the second star energy crystal, rolling a five. He glanced at the smug Qingyu and the Liu Shaoge who had defeated Zhang Dingtian and Baxue, took a deep breath, and tried again.

When the die stopped spinning, the five faces disappeared, revealing a number—four. Lu Yin was excited; this was it.

In the next moment, Lu Yin entered a grayish-white space, where time was frozen.

He took out all the star energy crystals from the Condensation Ring and threw them at the number. Instantly, the number increased from 259200 to 436800, five days. He used all the remaining star energy crystals to add two more days, then began to heal his wounds and retrieve the star map, immersing himself in it. Five days was enough to simulate the fourth star. How strong would the Heavenly Star Palm with four stars be? Could it block Qingyu? He had to try.

In the grayish-white space, five days was a long time. There was no sound, no scenery, only loneliness.

By the end of the third day, the wounds on Lu Yin's hands had healed significantly, and the Heavenly Star Technique's fourth star was becoming clearer.

By the end of the fourth day, the fourth star had appeared.

When the fifth day ended, and the number turned to zero, the scene before Lu Yin's eyes changed, and he left the grayish-white space. In the real world, time had not changed. Qingyu was still looking up at the sky, Liu Shaoge remained calm and indifferent, Baxue and others were furious, and many students lay heavily injured on the ground.

"Do you not plan to answer me? Do you really want to kill me?" Qingyu shouted, his figure disappearing and reappearing in front of the captured students. He raised his hand, grabbing Huo Xiaoling's red hair, and sneered, "Let her die with me."

Huo Xiaoling was enraged, terrifying power swirling, about to break the seal.

Qingyu was cold and proud, "Want to break the seal? Think again. A Fusion Realm expert participating in an Exploration Realm trial mission and failing, do you think you can join the Star War Academy?"

Huo Xiaoling's face turned pale. Qingyu had said this to her several times. Because of this, she had willingly been captured. A Fusion Realm expert and a Talent Cultivator failing an Exploration Realm trial mission was considered trash by the Star War Academy.

Not just the Star War Academy, but other prestigious universities in the universe would not accept such a student. This would be the biggest stain on her life.

Huo Xiaoling closed her eyes, reining in her star energy. She would rather die than break the seal.

Outside Earth, Xikemaluo was anxious, "Miss Mira, we can't wait any longer. Huo Xiaoling can't die."

Tuo Leona and Shaloshu also stared at the screen. If Huo Xiaoling died on Earth, the Da Yu Empire would face a major upheaval. The Huo family was not to be trifled with, and they would all suffer.

Mira wasn't paying attention to Huo Xiaoling. A mere noble from a fringe planet wasn't worth her attention. She had been watching Lu Yin. From the beginning, something was off about this person. The most obvious was the wound on his hand, which had healed so quickly. Was it a talent? Was it the die? They had all seen Lu Yin's talent die, which was strange at first, but talents could be anything, so they didn't think much of it. Now, it seemed it might be special.

"Miss Mira," Xikemaluo urged.

Mira's lips curled up, pointing at the screen. Everyone looked again, their eyes wide with shock.

On Earth, Qingyu, who was supposed to be threatening Huo Xiaoling, was now more than ten meters away. He had just been pushed back by a powerful palm strike. He had been pushed back? Ridiculous, Qingyu raised his head and glared forward.

Not just Qingyu, everyone was stunned, looking at Lu Yin, who stood in front of Huo Xiaoling, retracting his hand, "You seem to have forgotten me."

Everyone looked at Lu Yin. This person had pushed back Qingyu?

Gulesi swallowed hard.

Granny was deeply shaken. Since following this person, her worldview had been completely refreshed. Qingyu had swept through all the students, but he had been pushed back by this person.
