Lu Yin vs Qingyu

Zhang Dingtian laughed. Despite his severe injuries, he still laughed.

Bai Xue looked at Lu Yin expectantly. She had never felt so helpless as she did now.

Qing Yu exhaled. "You've been hiding your strength all this time?"

Lu Yin moved his shoulder. "Not really. When someone is pushed to the brink, they can unleash hidden potential."

Qing Yu laughed heartily. "What does it matter if an ant explodes? Let me send you on your way first." As he spoke, he pointed a finger at Lu Yin. This was the same move that had crushed Zhang Dingtian, Yan Gang, and Monu, sweeping through all the students and even shattering Lu Yin's previous Heavenly Star Palm. Facing this attack, Lu Yin's eyes turned cold as he raised his hand, the four stars of the Heavenly Star Technique rotating, and struck out with a palm.

"Courting death," Qing Yu roared. In the universe, the White Night Clan represented terror, invincibility among peers, and their battle techniques were unparalleled.

Boom boom boom boom! Four consecutive explosions sounded. Qing Yu dismissed the first three, but when the fourth detonated, a terrifying pressure descended. The unstoppable force instantly bent his finger, and Lu Yin's palm struck his right chest, sending him flying backward.

The airwave surged, shattering the ground, and the force of the collision swept through the sky like a tornado.

Everyone was momentarily deafened, their vision clouded by the gray smoke and dust filling the air.

When the wind cleared and the dust settled, everyone was shocked to see Qing Yu had been defeated.

Lu Yin panted heavily, his right palm aching, a trickle of blood breaking through his skin. Opposite him, Qing Yu, pale-faced, glared at Lu Yin, his right finger shattered, his whole body trembling with anger. "What battle technique was that?"

Lu Yin exhaled. "A technique to kill you." He then used the Wandering Steps to charge at Qing Yu, raising his palm to strike again. He had to kill Qing Yu. Others might not understand, but Qing Yu, as a member of a terrifying great clan, could truly comprehend the horror of the Heavenly Star Palm. This man could pose a future threat.

Qing Yu roared, "Ant, let me show you the might of the White Night Clan."

Boom!

A massive tremor shattered the ground, and Lu Yin was pushed back, leaving more than a dozen footprints on the ground. He looked up and glared ahead as Qing Yu charged out of the smoke. "Did you think I only knew one battle technique? The White Night Clan lacks nothing but an endless array of techniques." As he spoke, his left hand clawed at Lu Yin. Lu Yin forced down the urge to cough blood and raised his left hand, using the Seven Forms of the Celestial Beast Claw.

Boom!

The ground shook again.

Terrifying airwaves swept the ground, stones flying and piercing the mountain walls.

Everyone watching the clash in the smoke and dust was truly shaken. Could someone at the Explorer realm reach such a level?

Outside Earth, Siken Maldo and others were also shocked. "How is this guy so powerful? That's the Celestial Beast Claw, and it seems to have reached the seventh form. Isn't that the Yu Hall's technique? Did he really learn the Yu Hall's technique?"

"What's truly impressive is that he blocked Qing Yu's finger strike. Qing Yu's most powerful technique is that finger, yet it failed."

"This guy is no ordinary person. We must investigate him."

…

Mira looked at Lu Yin with shining eyes. While others saw his battle techniques, she noticed that his previously pierced palm had healed, which was quite miraculous.

The sounds of the battle echoed like explosions in the hearts of the onlookers, leaving many students pale with fear.

With a loud boom, two figures retreated simultaneously.

Qing Yu panted heavily, glaring at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin's hands trembled. In the time-stopped space, not only had he healed his injuries, but he had also restored much of his stamina, equivalent to resting for five days before fighting Qing Yu. Even so, it was still difficult to defeat him. Even the Heavenly Star Palm with four stars couldn't seriously injure him. This man was truly terrifying, worthy of walking among the stars. Even an integrated realm powerhouse might not withstand a full-force strike from him.

"Young Master, let me teach him a lesson," Liu Shaoge suddenly charged at Lu Yin, light shining in his palm.

Zhang Dingtian shouted angrily.

Lu Yin glanced over and raised his left hand, "Celestial Beast Claw," one claw, the void beast roared, crushing the light and striking Liu Shaoge, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

Qing Yu scolded coldly, "Useless. My battle is not for you to interfere with."

Liu Shaoge coughed up blood, weakly saying, "I'm sorry, Young Master."

Lu Yin was surprised. He had intended to kill Liu Shaoge with that strike, but he survived and could still speak. His strength was greater than expected.

"To encounter someone like you on a fringe planet, with such strength at the Explorer realm, you'd be considered outstanding even in the inner universe," Qing Yu said solemnly.

Lu Yin clenched his fist. "I don't need your evaluation of my strength."

Qing Yu grinned. "I've seen too many geniuses fall, too many strong ones die at the hands of the White Night Clan. You won't escape today. Don't expect the Great Yu Empire to save you. Any trial has the Youth Council's oversight. Unless all of you lose the will to fight and fail the mission, this trial will continue. And I will kill you the moment you lose the will to fight."

After speaking, a layer of turbulent star energy appeared around Qing Yu's body, not fully released, but wrapping around him, gradually moving downward until it encased his legs as if he were standing on clouds. "Die!" he shouted, and his body disappeared, reappearing in front of Lu Yin, pointing with his left hand.

This was extreme speed, a battle technique of the White Night Clan. In an instant, even Yan Gang and others couldn't see it clearly. Qing Yu intended to kill Lu Yin with this strike.

Lu Yin's breathing synchronized with the Heavenly Star Technique, the four stars revolving. As Qing Yu's finger crossed into the star range, Lu Yin saw his movement. The Heavenly Star Technique's range was small, but it felt like a vast star. Qing Yu's finger seemed to cross a small area, but in Lu Yin's eyes, it was very distant, enough for him to see through Qing Yu's attack.

Staring intently at the incoming finger, Lu Yin sidestepped and crouched, striking with the Heavenly Star Palm from an impossible angle, not only dodging Qing Yu's finger but also hitting Qing Yu. This move caught Qing Yu off guard. He had thought his move was sure to hit after using the footwork battle technique, but it was blocked, leaving him unprepared. Crucially, Lu Yin's Heavenly Star Palm hit the same spot where a sealed integrated realm student had struck before.

Already injured, Qing Yu was struck again in the same spot, like the last straw breaking the camel's back, seriously injuring him. The impact drove him into the ground, fracturing the earth into a cone shape, causing intense tremors, and magma erupted, scorching the air.

The scene fell silent, only the magma roaring.

To the onlookers, the exchange was instantaneous. Qing Yu vanished and reappeared, only to be struck into the ground by Lu Yin. It seemed simple, but only Lu Yin knew the peril of that moment. Anyone else, even if Fire Xiaoling had broken into the integrated realm, might not have dodged Qing Yu's attack unless they mastered extreme speed like Lulu Mebius.

Though Lu Yin hadn't mastered extreme speed, his Heavenly Star Technique was the nemesis of all speed.

Liu Shaoge watched the ground with flickering eyes.

Everyone gazed at the ground, at the figure buried there. Was he dead?

Lu Yin stood by the crater, feeling the heat of the magma, panting. The current situation was Qing Yu's doing. He had been too careless, thinking he would certainly hit, otherwise he wouldn't have been so badly beaten. The only regret was that Lu Yin couldn't learn Qing Yu's extreme speed. The White Night Clan's techniques had a unique feel, like their name, White and Night. Without sensing that rhythm, no amount of observing changes would help.

Lu Yin had thought he could learn all kinds of star battle techniques with the Heavenly Star Technique, but now he saw it wasn't possible. Some techniques required a specific environment to learn.

Sizzle—

In the cone-shaped pit, the ground cracked. Under everyone's shocked gaze, Qing Yu pressed a hand to the ground, slowly rising, his eyes red as he glared at Lu Yin. "Ant, you've really angered me."

Lu Yin frowned. So troublesome. No wonder he's a powerhouse who walks the stars. Even with his cultivation sealed, his physical body is hard to defeat, enduring the strikes of an integrated realm powerhouse and my full-force hit without dying, and he recovers so quickly. If this goes on, I'll definitely lose.

"No matter what you do, you can't defeat me. Ant, despair," Qing Yu growled, rushing at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin's expression shifted as he suddenly looked at the students watching the fight from afar, quickly charging toward them. Qing Yu, coughing blood, still pursued despite his injuries. "You can't escape."

Lu Yin quickly charged towards the students who were watching, frightening many of them into fleeing. "That bastard is bringing trouble here! Run, don't let him catch you!" shouted one of the students.

All the students hurriedly dispersed.

Lu Yin paid no attention to the others; he had his sights set on one person—Monu, the cultivation realm powerhouse whose abilities were sealed. He chased after him relentlessly.

Monu's face turned deathly pale. "What are you going to do?"
