Seeing this scene, Gules immediately lost her temper, glaring fiercely at Lu Yin, "Bastard! How dare you casually let someone else wear my clothes, you shameless and despicable scoundrel."
Lu Yin waved his hand, "Don't mind it, I'll return it to you."
Gules was furious, "No need. It's all sweaty and disgusting. You might as well use it as a coffin money."
Lu Yin ignored her.
In the high sky, looking at the thunder enveloping his body, Zhang Dingtian felt a surge of power. He remembered that a few days ago, Lu Yin caught so many students relying on this set of armor, proving how formidable its defense was.
Opposite him, Mono's expression darkened. "Gulbah's stuff," he said, then cast a cold glare toward Gules, narrowing his eyes. "Gulbah's sister is here too? Perfect, I'll teach her a lesson." Saying that, he suddenly charged downward.
Zhang Dingtian snorted coldly and slashed with his broken blade. Although it was broken, it didn't affect the strike at all.
The fierce slash cut across, intercepting Mono's path. Mono was furious, "You're courting death!" He then slammed a claw toward Zhang Dingtian. The void beast's roar trembled the air; this claw contained the Seventh Technique, even stronger than Las's Heavenly Beast Claw, normally enough to kill Zhang Dingtian.
Facing such a terrifying technique, Zhang Dingtian growled lowly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His broken blade trembled violently, distorting the air. A strange energy gathered along the blade. The sky suddenly felt oppressive. Then Zhang Dingtian slashed out, colliding with the Heavenly Beast Claw.
Bang!
The sky shook violently, enormous shockwaves swept across Jing City, tearing open the earth. A slash cut through the outer wall of Jing City and gouged an unknown depth into the ground.
Crimson blood splattered high into the air, dripping onto the ruins.
Zhang Dingtian's armor shattered, and his body was blasted toward the ground. At the critical moment, Lu Yin appeared and caught him.
Even so, Zhang Dingtian was too heavily injured to fight back, and the broken blade was completely shattered.
But no one dared to underestimate Zhang Dingtian now, because he had wounded Mono with one slash.
High above, Mono stared at Zhang Dingtian in shock. Blood dripped from his right arm, fingers trembling. He, a dignified Rung Realm elite of Yutang, who had once contended with Gulbah and others, had actually been wounded by a native—and pushed back hundreds of meters. It was unbelievable. Even with his cultivation sealed, no one would believe it if told, but this was the reality. His Seventh Technique Heavenly Beast Claw couldn't kill that native.
On the ground, Lu Yin was equally stunned. Zhang Dingtian hadn't been killed by that claw, and that slash even incorporated the Wave Palm technique. He was truly a genius. That slash could rival Lu Yin's full-powered Heavenly Star Palm.
When Lu Yin first met Zhang Dingtian, his Heavenly Star Palm could control two stars—slightly weaker than Zhang Dingtian. But after mastering three stars, he surpassed him. The three-star Heavenly Star Palm equaled Las's Five-Style Heavenly Beast Claw. Mono's recent Heavenly Beast Claw was clearly stronger than Las's. Zhang Dingtian was incredibly lucky to survive, thanks also to this armor—without it, he would be dead.
Even Las was stunned. Where did such a freakish native come from?
Bai Xue and the others hurried to take Zhang Dingtian away for treatment. Reaching this level was remarkable, especially since their opponent was an elite of the Great Universe Empire, and they had only been cultivating for a short time.
Lu Yin soared into the air, looking at Mono. "Next, your opponent is me."
Mono stared at Lu Yin, eyes filled with deep coldness. He wanted to regain his lost pride at the hands of this native.
Outside Earth, inside a massive spaceship's monitoring room, everyone was equally shocked, staring at the screen. Everyone knew who Mono was. Only a few reached Rung Realm in this planetary evolution trial, and Mono was among the strongest. That he was wounded—and by a native—shook them as much as it did Mono himself.
Bang! A loud noise made everyone turn. It was Sikemaldo, the general, eyes gleaming with excitement. "Cross-border battle power? I didn't expect this planet to have such people. Maybe he just lacks battle skills. He definitely could fight Mono more spectacularly. We want this person for our army, haha."
Beside him, Shaluo Tree licked his lips. "Sorry, General Maldo, our Imperial Court's Twelfth Division wants him."
Sikemaldo angrily said, "The Twelfth Division of the Imperial Court is not mainly responsible for combat. This person obviously possesses extremely high combat talent. In a short time, he imitated the battle technique 'You Shen Bu' and even integrated the Wave Palm into the blade's edge. He is definitely a combat prodigy."
Elsewhere, Toleona said, "General Maldo is right. This person really is a combat genius. Our Ona family is willing to reshape his body. Such a person belongs to our Ninth Division."
Soon, the voices of the three grew louder in argument.
Everyone envied the heavily injured man on the screen, whose gaze remained resolute. As long as he survived the trial, his future was bright. A cross-border elite represented a genius. If memory served correctly, among these people there was also an Ice Talent cultivator, plus the mysterious one who captured Las. This group was truly extraordinary!
While the three were arguing, Mira's gaze fixed on the screen. On the screen, Lu Yin and Mono were locked in combat.
Because of Zhang Dingtian's outburst, Mono had been injured. Now, like a beast, he desperately tried to vent all his pain onto the natives, and Lu Yin was the first target. So he unleashed the Seventh Technique Heavenly Beast Claw, originally thinking he could easily defeat Lu Yin. But Lu Yin's performance was even more uncanny than Zhang Dingtian's—he actually dodged it.
The Heavenly Beast Claw covered an area of space. Even with just the Seventh Technique, it was impossible for a Rung Realm cultivator to evade, yet Lu Yin calmly avoided it.
Mono stared at Lu Yin in surprise. This person was even harder to deal with than the one just now.
Lu Yin's expression grew serious. He activated the Heavenly Star Skill. Mono attacked again and vanished. Lu Yin immediately used You Shen Bu and also vanished. In the next moment, claw shadows flickered all around, forcing Lu Yin out. The Heavenly Beast Claw descended, less than twenty centimeters from Lu Yin.
Feeling the power of the Heavenly Beast Claw, Lu Yin's eyes took in all its variations. He shifted his body sideways and dodged again, then struck Mono with a palm. It was just the Crack Sky Palm, a technique Mono disdainfully ignored. The Heavenly Beast Claw was invincible and tore apart the Crack Sky Palm. Attacking again, Lu Yin's eyes suddenly widened. He looked three times—enough. He struck out. Mono originally thought it was still just the Crack Sky Palm. It was rare for a Rung Realm cultivator to wield it so skillfully, but this technique could not hurt him. Suddenly, a great crisis descended.
Mono's scalp tingled, his pupils sharply contracted. Before him, Lu Yin's palm transformed into a claw—this was the Seventh Technique Heavenly Beast Claw.
Bang!
Mono fell like a meteor, blood spraying in midair, then staining the ground red. Everyone stared blankly at this scene—Mono had been severely injured.
Las's heart sank. He had forgotten that native could mimic the Heavenly Beast Claw.
Bai Xue and the others looked at Lu Yin in shock. This person was becoming more and more terrifying—he grew stronger when faced with stronger opponents.
On the ground, Mono's face was pale, his gaze shocked. Blood from his abdomen gradually spread, dyeing his clothes red. But at this moment, his attention was not on his injury but on the technique just used. There was no doubt: that was the Seventh Technique Heavenly Beast Claw.
"How do you have the Heavenly Beast Claw?" Mono shouted, staring intently at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin landed and said calmly, "Learned it from you."
"Impossible. No one can learn the Heavenly Beast Claw so quickly. I spent nine months in Yutang to master the Seventh Technique Heavenly Beast Claw. How could you learn it so fast?" Mono demanded. "Who are you really? Where did you secretly learn the Heavenly Beast Claw?"
"I already told you. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do," Lu Yin replied calmly. He leapt and charged at Mono again. The Seventh Technique Heavenly Beast Claw slammed down, the void beast's roar shaking and warping the air. Mono gritted his teeth. His cultivation was sealed, and the Seventh Technique Heavenly Beast Claw was his strongest current attack. It should have been invincible, but he faced the same attack—and worse, it was useless against this person, who could calmly dodge it. This battle had no chance of victory for Mono.
Boom!
The earth trembled, huge claw marks deeply imprinted into the ground. Mono was blasted away, admitting defeat. Unless he broke the seal and restored his Rung Realm power, he definitely couldn't defeat this person, who also possessed cross-border battle strength. These freakish natives—no, this person was definitely not a native, otherwise he couldn't use the Crack Sky Palm. Who was he really?
Lu Yin stood on the ground, watching Mono's retreating back, and breathed a sigh of relief. Rung Realm elites brought enormous pressure. If Mono broke his seal, he could seriously injure or even kill Lu Yin instantly. Even if Lu Yin was expelled from the trial, it wouldn't save his life. He didn't want to push such a person too hard.
Today's greatest gain was the Seventh Technique Heavenly Beast Claw. This Yutang inherited technique was truly powerful. There were 108 techniques in total? Lu Yin wondered how powerful it would be if fully mastered. He was looking forward to it.
