Xu San also came, dragged by Lu Yin, to serve them water and drinks. Xu San was quite happy doing this, feeling that he was still useful.
Many students passing by looked at this gravity room with strange expressions, their eyes filled with surprise. Being able to fight under forty times gravity was something even the strongest from the major academies might not be able to do.
Another group of students left, this time it was Gules and Baralo, Eder and Hedian also departed. With these people gone, the students Lu Yin was familiar with really became fewer.
Before leaving, Gules specially found Lu Yin, raised his fist, and said, "Be careful, I haven't settled the score for you robbing me."
Lu Yin proudly replied, "Do you want to try again?"
Gules was scared and ran away, warning Lu Yin again before leaving, "Don't underestimate Yutang. There won't be any Exploration Realm students fighting you now. Your opponent is a Fusion Realm expert. Be careful, my brother will beat you." With that, he ran off.
Lu Yin laughed, recalling others' introductions to her brother, Gurbakh. His expression became more serious. Gurbakh was at this level, an elite of Yutang, even joining the Royal Court's Thirteenth Team. Although his status was high, it might not be enough to intimidate such people. He still needed to work hard; only by reaching the Fusion Realm would he have the power to protect himself.
Although there were no specific rules, it was rumored that the Starry Sky Combat Academy only admitted young elites above the Fusion Realm. It was unknown whether this was true or not.
Just as he was about to return to the training area, he happened to see Bai Xue, gazing at the stars alone.
Against the backdrop of the starry sky, Bai Xue's beautiful profile truly stunned Lu Yin, as if she were glowing.
Not just him, many students around were also attracted by Bai Xue, looking at her with intense gazes.
Bai Xue was already used to such gazes, whether on Earth or in space, they would never disappear.
Lu Yin walked to Bai Xue's side, "What are you thinking about? Why aren't you training with us?"
Bai Xue replied faintly, "The universe is really vast, Earth is too small, no wonder it can't retain people."
"You yourself have also stepped out, don't take Liu Shaoge's matter to heart," Lu Yin said.
Bai Xue shook her head, "I'm not talking about him."
"Who else besides him?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Bai Xue turned to look at Lu Yin, "Qingyu, who discovered it?"
A flash of lightning suddenly crossed Lu Yin's mind, and he blurted out, "Bai Qian."
Bai Xue's eyes dimmed, "That's right, Bai Qian."
Lu Yin always felt something was missing. Yes, it was Bai Qian. The first time stepping into Neptune, bringing back Qingyu, the first to contact Qingyu, yet she was not among the Seven Saints. As the first human to step on Neptune, an absolute elite, she had always been missing. "Where is this person? She has the same surname as you, what's the relationship?"
Bai Xue was bitter, "She is my sister."
Lu Yin was surprised, "Bai Qian is a woman?"
Bai Xue nodded, seeing Lu Yin's surprised expression, she couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it hard to believe? The newspapers and news have been publishing Bai Qian's landing on Neptune, but they completely shield her personal information. In your impression, Bai Qian must be a man, right? As domineering as Zhang Dingtian, isn't it?"
Lu Yin smiled bitterly and nodded, "I did think so. Since you mentioned her, what happened to her? Did she leave Earth?"
Bai Xue lowered her head, her long hair covering her eyes, and said in a low voice, "My sister Bai Qian is known for her beauty that outshines rainbows, her strategic wisdom, her imperial heart, and her sword talent. But she abandoned me, abandoned Earth, and went to the stars alone. Perhaps I will never see her again in this life."
"She went to the stars, how did she leave?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Bai Xue said in a low voice, "When Qingyu was brought back, there was a piece of leather paper on him, engraved with words. It took us a long time to decipher three words: invitation letter. This invitation letter opened the door to the stars for my sister, and she disappeared. At that time, my sister had just reached the Heaven Level, the Exploration Realm."
"Your sister is quite bold, daring to step into the stars with just an invitation letter, not afraid of being torn apart by space-time," Lu Yin exclaimed.
Bai Xue gazed at the dark universe, filled with longing, "My sister never does anything without confidence. Whether in academics, sports, swordsmanship, or exploring the stars, she is the best. Even Zhang Dingtian and the others have to admit it. No one can match my sister. Perhaps that's why she left; Earth could no longer satisfy her."
Lu Yin laughed, this woman's admiration for Bai Qian was too much. Bai Qian might shine on Earth, but in the vast universe, it was uncertain. The universe is boundless, and humans are divided into many races, like Baley's third gravity planet, or Baralo's plant planet. Some races are born with Exploration Realm or even stronger power, which ordinary people cannot compare to.
The White Night Clan is already terrifying, and the Night King Clan is even more so, with boundless talent and resources. Compared to such monsters, any elite would pale in comparison.
Lu Yin believed he could compete with these monsters because of the dice, which gave him infinite possibilities. What about Bai Qian?
One thing Bai Xue said was right; she might never see Bai Qian again in this life, as ordinary people cannot cross the stars.
A beauty that outshines rainbows? What a pity, I never got to meet her.
"By the way, do you have a photo of your sister?" Lu Yin asked, he really wanted to see.
Bai Xue shook her head, "It's not allowed to keep photos." She then glared at Lu Yin, as if he were a thief, and warned, "What do you want to do?"
"Just to look, never mind if you don't have one. When you have time, come and train with us. Being alone can easily make you sick," Lu Yin said indifferently and turned to leave.
Bai Xue retracted her gaze and looked at the dark universe again, her eyes complex.
Earth is truly amazing. One Qingyu, one trial, brought out a batch of monsters. Zhang Dingtian, a cross-realm expert, Bai Xue and Xu San, talented cultivators, Shiwuzhang with unmatched perseverance, and the perfect Liu Shaoge and Bai Qian. Lu Yin didn't know what these people would experience in the universe, but the future might be very exciting.
Right, he also came from Earth. Lu Yin smiled, was he a monster too?
For the next ten days, the Perseverance was very peaceful. Students left one after another, and Bai Xue joined the combat training. She also couldn't withstand forty times gravity and had to learn from Shiwuzhang. However, unlike Shiwuzhang, one was breathtakingly beautiful, the other terrifyingly nightmarish. The two completely opposite people standing at the entrance of the gravity room left Lu Yin speechless.
Xu San looked at Bai Xue with a strange expression, thinking this woman must have been shocked, otherwise why would she learn from Shiwuzhang to adapt to forty times gravity, seeking pain.
In ten days, Lu Yin had completely adapted to forty times gravity, which surprised Xia Luo. Generally, newly advanced Fusion Realm experts couldn't adapt so easily. Lulu Mebis adapted even earlier than Lu Yin, and no one was surprised by her, as the Mebis Clan could do anything.
Zhang Dingtian could also move freely under forty times gravity.
Shiwuzhang spent ten days and finally took a step, which was normal. It was already impressive for an Exploration Realm expert to adapt to forty times gravity.
Bai Xue also made rapid progress, even faster than Shiwuzhang, drawing everyone's attention.
This gravity room on the Perseverance had become quite famous, even Xikemaluo had come to see. Except for Xu San, everyone else could defeat the strongest in the academy, making it hard not to attract attention.
At this moment, Lu Yin received a notification from the adjutant that the Da Yu Empire's evolution trial had ended.
"Be careful, I'm coming," Lulu shouted, her palm wind brushing past Lu Yin's ear and hitting the wall. She then retracted her hand and looked at Lu Yin unhappily, "Hey, can you show some respect? I'm fighting you."
Lu Yin apologized, "Sorry, I was distracted. I just received a notification. The students who successfully completed the planet evolution trial will go to the Imperial Capital Star for assessment. If successful, they can be recommended by the empire to the Starry Sky Tenth Academy."
Lulu rolled her eyes, "What does that have to do with me?"
Xia Luo didn't care either.
Lu Yin then remembered that these two were not simple. Lulu, being from the Mebis Clan, was not inferior to the White Night Clan. It was not surprising that she could enter the inheritance stone and receive inheritance. Xia Luo could also receive inheritance, indicating a complex background. The empire's recommendation was useless for them.
"Are we the failures?" Zhang Dingtian asked Lu Yin in a deep voice.
Lu Yin nodded, "The Earth trial was a complete failure. Except for me, no one can be recommended to participate in the assessment of the Starry Sky Tenth Academy."
"I don't need a recommendation, I can go myself," Zhang Dingtian said.
Lulu rolled her eyes, "Go yourself? Are you kidding? You don't even know where the entrance to the Starry Sky Combat Academy is. Do you think anyone can go to the Starry Sky Combat Academy? The Starry Sky Tenth Academy descended in the Canglan Domain, only a force like the Da Yu Empire would know the exact location and have a way to approach it. Ordinary people wouldn't even see it if they passed by."
Zhang Dingtian's gaze was heavy, and he gripped his long knife.
