Step on the Star - C49
Within the capital, Lars’ heart was like dying embers. Even Mono had lost, and no one could save him. His trial was destined to be at the bottom.
Granny looked at Lu Yin in disbelief, thinking back to the first time she saw him. A mere lookout, almost invincible in terms of scouting. Yata, Tata Star Academy? Grandfather is the principal? Could his grandfather be a peerless expert?
When the news of him being defeated in the capital was spread out in the local area network, it shocked all the students. The first reaction of the students was that they did not believe him, but the local area network would not lie.
Everyone was speechless.
Lu Yin took a deep breath, “This guy isn’t stupid, he’s thinking the same thing as us, wanting to exchange the students for some compromise. Unfortunately, the two of us are of different natures, he’s a fugitive, we’re just aboriginals, he’s destined to be judged, no matter how many students we catch, it’s useless.”
“Then that’s fine. It has nothing to do with you!” Grace said with a wink.
Lu Yin looked at her, “If he captures one more student, we will capture one less, and we will lose one more person to negotiate in the future.”
Grace opened her eyes wide. “You really want to use your students to negotiate with the Empire? This is impossible “.
Lu Yin replied matter-of-factly, “Nothing is impossible. The students who dare to participate in the survival training are all elites. To the Empire, this is very important.”
“Do you know how many students there are in the Empire who are participating in the survival training? Let me tell you, this planet is just one of many trials. Even if all the students die, it will have no effect on the Empire. Do you think the Empire will compromise for these students? “Dream on.”
Great Yu Empire was too big, and it also had too many students. The number of academies in this world were countless, and the number of students in this earth trial was only a small part of the population. It was impossible to attempt negotiations with the empire.
“Not necessarily,” Lu Yin said, grabbing Lars. “This man’s identity is enough for us to make some promises.”
“Let go of me.”
Lu Yin shook him off with a smile at the corner of his mouth, “The Empire’s Finance Deputy Minister has a very high status. I heard that he still has contact with the 12th team of the Imperial Court, and it’s even more perfect. The more background he has, the higher the chances of us succeeding in our negotiations, isn’t that right?”
That’s true. This guy is the only son of Kiki, and for the sake of this son, Kiki might risk her life.
This bastard was actually using him to threaten the Empire. Regardless of success or failure, he would become the laughingstock of the Empire’s younger generation.
In Northern Europe, there was also a group of students who were infuriated.
There were more than twenty students from all over the world joining forces to find Qingyu. The one leading them was called Yan Gang, and he was not from the Great Yu Empire.
Although it was just a planet, it was extremely big and the planet was burning with a sea of fire. Rumor has it that all the life forms on the planet were extremely resistant to fire and could even use powerful techniques to burn fire. It was a terrifying force.
Yan Gang was an Acupoint Charging Realm martial artist like Huo Xiaoling. His cultivation was also sealed, but in the eyes of many of the students, his strength surpassed Huo Xiaoling’s.
“Qingyu, release Huo Xiaoliu!” Yan Gang stood high up in the sky and coldly stared at the ground. His body was a deep red, and scorching heat was emitted from his body even in the cold northern part of his body, melting the snow on the ground.
Qingyu leisurely sat on the ground. Behind him were seventeen captured students. Huo Xiaoling was also among them.
“There are a lot of people here. Brat, you think you can steal someone from my hands?” Qingyu teasingly looked at Yan Gang with disdain. He was once the explorer who roamed the starry skies, and he didn’t even place a mere student in his eyes.
Yan Gang coldly said, “Let me warn you, Huo Xiaoling is the fiancée of our Lian Yan Mountain’s young master. If you dare to touch her, you will have to suffer the wrath of Lian Yan Xing.”
Qing Yu said disdainfully, “It’s only the Wilderness’ border region. You really think you’re amazing. However, I can give you a chance to take her away from me. Let’s see if you can do it.”
“Tell me!” Yan Gang shouted in a low voice.
Qing Yu smiled, “Go to China’s capital and bring my things in exchange for this woman.”
Yan Gang’s eyes flashed. “Let Huo Xiaoling go first, I’ll go get it for you!”
Qing Yu laughed. “Are you an idiot or do you think I’m an idiot? Let me go first? Your brain must be on fire. ”
Yan Gang was enraged as he clenched his fists tightly. The air around him was scorched and distorted. “Alright, I will bring the item over, but you have to promise not to harm Huo Xiaoling.”
Qing Yu shrugged. “That will depend on how long it takes you to get what you want. I can’t guarantee you that it won’t take long. This woman is very beautiful.”
Yan Gang flew into a rage. “Huo Xiaoling is an Acupoint Charging expert. If you dare touch her, we’ll kill you even if we break the seal!”
“If we do this, then you guys won’t be able to join the Tenth Academy, right? If you can’t even complete the trial, then the Star Wars Academy won’t accept this kind of trash. How will you explain this to your junior family head?” Qingyu looked at Yan Gang teasingly.
Yan Gang snorted and whispered to the students behind him, “Watch him, I’m going to China!”
“Mono just lost Huaxia, can you do it by yourself?” He came from the Huo Family, so he didn’t care about Yan Gang, but he cared about Huo Xiaoling.
Yan Gang disdainfully said, “Don’t compare me to that kind of trash.” With that, he flew away. The air around him distorted, forming a white stream of air.
From Northern Europe to China’s capital city, it would take at least two days for a scout to fly at a speed that was unstoppable by a mutated beast. Once they encountered a strong mutated beast, the delay would be difficult.
In the dark night of the capital city, only a few places had light for fear of attracting mutated beasts.
Arriving at the Underground Institute of Technology, Lu Yin saw something left behind by the fugitive, Qingyu, under the guidance of Dean Lian. It was a stone the size of a human head.
The stone was circular in shape, but there were sixteen sides to it. Each of them was smooth and even with an incomprehensible mark in the middle. The entire stone emanated an ancient aura, as though it came from ancient times.
This time, Lu Yin was able to see the rock, and it was even suggested by White Snow. Initially, she was strongly opposed to letting Lu Yin touch the items left behind by the fugitive, saying that it would require the consent of the Seven Saints. But now, there was no longer a need.
Lu Yin stared in amazement at the rock that was smoothly placed inside the glass cover, “It’s just a rock, but it feels very extraordinary.”
Dean Lian said, “What do you think the age of this stone is?”
Lu Yin shook his head.
Dean Lian exclaimed, “It cannot be determined.”
“Unable to determine?” Lu Yin was astonished. With Earth’s current technology, it was impossible to measure the time of a rock. It was somewhat inconceivable.
Dean Lian said, “This stone has been here for too long, experiencing undetectable changes. Its traces of time constantly change, so it cannot be detected at all. We have studied it many times, but we have been unable to find anything.”
“According to the intelligence we have, the fugitive Qingyu has fled from the depths of the universe to this place. Even so, he is still wanted and has yet to spread any information, there’s only one possibility, the items he is carrying are too valuable, it should be this rock.”
“Back then, he was taken back to Earth by you guys from Neptune. Other than this rock, what else could it be?” Lu Yin asked.
White Snow looked at Principal Lian, who said, “A saber, dozens of crystals, in fact they are Star Energy Crystals, and a crystal chip, including the cultivation method. However, there are a lot of damages, most of which are already unreadable.”
“We just gave the war blade to Zhang Pingtian. As for the Star Energy Crystal, it has long been absorbed by us. At the beginning of the apocalypse, we are very close to the Heaven Realm, which is the realm of exploration.”
Lu Yin looked at the stone, “In other words, this stone and the saber are the only two things that Qingyu has left here.”
“We’ve studied the warblade. The material it is made from is extremely hard, far stronger than any metal on Earth, including the mutated ones. As for this rock, it has no clue and can’t be researched at all,” Principal Lian said.
Lu Yin said faintly, “Can I study it for a while?”
Dean Lian didn’t care. “Up to you.”
