Although the Butterfly Shadow territory was small, the overall strength of its younger generation far surpassed that of the Great Yu Empire.
Thinking about it, it wasn't that strange. The Great Yu Empire, after all, only occupied one-third of the Canglan territory's land. However, if it came to the highest combat power, it would easily leave the Butterfly Shadow territory behind. A single Wendy Yushan was enough to leave the Butterfly Shadow territory with no other choice. Lu Yin didn't believe that the Butterfly Shadow territory also had a prodigy similar to Wendy Yushan. There were very few such people in the entire Outerverse.
"The further we go, the more Limiteer Realm Giants there are in the tribes. It seems we're not far from the Giant King," Lu Yin said with emotion, looking at the four dead Limiteer Realm Giants in the tribe ahead.
Amu was terrified. "To actually kill four Limiteer Realm Giants. The territorial trial-takers are truly terrifying."
Lu Yin shook his head. "It's nothing. The Giants only have the power and Star Energy of the Limiteer Realm but cannot utilize them. It can only be shown in their combat index. They're not even as strong as an ordinary Melting Realm student of an Astral Combat Academy."
Amu was speechless. To compare them to the Astral Combat Academies was too unfair to the Giants!
Not long after, Lu Yin's expression suddenly changed, and the ground shook. He flew into the sky and looked into the distance, then his face turned pale. "Quick, get into the air! An ant swarm is passing through."
Amu was surprised. An ant swarm?
"Get on a tree, quick!" Lu Yin snapped.
Amu looked into the distance. Compared to his fear when he saw the Giants, at this moment, he was not afraid at all. Lu Yin thought he was scared stiff and immediately grabbed him, wanting to fly up.
"No need, the ant swarm won't harm me," Amu said.
Lu Yin looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Won't harm you? Do you think you're the queen ant?"
Amu smiled. "This is my talent. Creatures like ant swarms won't harm me."
At this time, the ground's vibration grew stronger and stronger. In the distance, giant trees collapsed. Where the ant swarm passed, not a blade of grass was left. This was 'Great Superstar'; the ants were even bigger than people. The large-scale ant swarm had dyed the horizon black, making Lu Yin's scalp tingle. He immediately took to the air. As for Amu, he wouldn't interfere if he wanted to die. Moreover, he was faintly looking forward to this guy's talent.
Talents were of all shapes and sizes; it wasn't strange for any kind of talent to exist.
The ant swarm arrived, like a black flood devouring the forest. Lu Yin looked at Amu; the guy's face was still so calm.
The moment the ant swarm appeared in front of Amu, Lu Yin was stunned. The ant swarm actually stopped and really didn't harm Amu.
Even Lu Yin would have a hard time dealing with this huge ant swarm. Although each ant was only in the Reaching Realm, there were really too many of them. Sometimes, when quantity reached a certain level, it could produce a qualitative change. And creatures like ants never fought one-on-one with people.
"Seventh Bro, the ants told me the Giant King has run away. He's not in the center of the region," Amu shouted from below. Lu Yin had told him to call him Seventh Bro; he liked others calling him that.
Lu Yin was surprised and descended to a height of a hundred meters from the ant swarm, looking at Amu strangely. "What did you say? The Giant King ran away?"
Amu said, "The ants said the Giant King ran away a few days ago."
Lu Yin was suspicious. "How would the ants know? And you can understand what ants say?"
"I can. This is my talent. The Giant King has something that is very important to the ant swarm. Right now, that thing is in the northwest direction. The Giant King must have run away," Amu said confidently.
Lu Yin was conflicted. Wasn't Amu just afraid of going to the center of the region and lying!
Amu also knew what Lu Yin was suspecting and said, "Seventh Bro, it's true. Even if we go to the center of the region now, it's useless. The Giant King is not there."
Lu Yin decided. "Alright, I'll trust you this once. But if I find out you're lying, I'll throw you into a tribe."
Amu was scared and quickly said, "I won't, I absolutely won't lie."
Amu's ability to communicate with ants really surprised Lu Yin. What surprised him even more was that this guy could actually get the ants to carry them. No need to run; they would ride ants to find the Giant King.
Lu Yin sized up Amu. What a talent!
At the Tenth Academy, at the world entrance, Hei Xu passed by the mentor of the world and entered the world mountain. He had also completed a hundred wins, achieving the first step that the Three-Leaf Grass Company had asked him to do.
Sitting in the world mountain, Hei Xu chose the Heaven Path within the Six Paths without hesitation. This was the arrangement of the Three-Leaf Grass Company. In the Heaven Path, they had their Domain Master.
Right after Hei Xu's hundred wins was Hui Baiye. A disciple of the White Night clan was an absolute genius anywhere. Combined with the White Night clan's combat techniques, they were almost invincible. However, at the Tenth Academy, he was at most ranked in the middle. This would be unimaginable in other combat academies. Hui Baiye felt a humiliation that others could not understand.
Hui Baiye chose the Slaughter Path within the Six Paths. Here, he had a clansman who was a Domain Master. He had to catch up to the others from the Tenth Academy here and take the position of chief student. The White Night clan could not fall behind.
Six people had already entered the Trial World. Apart from Lu Yin, the others all had a Domain Master as a backer. It had to be said that having a background was very important.
Everything in the Slaughter Path was blood-red, making one feel extremely oppressed. Hui Baiye had just entered the world. With his black and silver hair, no one dared to provoke him. And as he was searching for the trial ground of his clansman, Tian Kong Baiye, he heard a piece of news that made him very upset. The Domain Master of the White Bone Tomb in the Prison Path, Karon, had spoken out to protect Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was the chief student of the Tenth Academy, much stronger than Hui Baiye. But he had no background and was like a rat scurrying across the street in the Trial World. This was also one of the reasons Hui Baiye was confident he could surpass him. But for Karon to actually speak out to protect him, this was something he couldn't understand.
Hui Baiye found a disciple cultivating in the Slaughter Path. "Speak, why is Karon protecting Lu Yin?"
The disciple who was stopped saw Hui Baiye's hair, and a trace of apprehension flashed in his eyes. "I'm not sure. Some say Karon is Lu Yin's big brother."
Hui Baiye stopped another person. That person replied, "It seems Lu Yin is Karon's good brother from childhood. Karon has said that whoever dares to harm Lu Yin, he will fight them to the death."
"I heard Lu Yin is a disciple of a super-powerful race in the Innerverse, and Karon is his protector."
"Lu Yin? Who? The one who molested Xi Yue? That bastard, I must kill him, daring to molest my Xi Yue! What? Karon has spoken out to protect him? Ah, that must be a misunderstanding. Brother Lu Yin is an upright, generous, and polite person. How could he molest Xi Yue? No way."
"Lu Yin? That's the son of Elder Ji Luofu, who is cared for by the Decipherer Research Society. Do you think Karon wouldn't protect him?"
...
The veins on Hui Baiye's forehead bulged. He had heard many answers, none of them repeated, and none of them reliable. But he was sure of one thing: this Lu Yin was not an ordinary Outerverse person. Karon was a genius Decipherer, and behind him stood Dobo. Could it be that Dobo was protecting Lu Yin?
The more Hui Baiye thought about it, the uglier his face became. He felt that it would be very difficult for him to catch up to Lu Yin. This guy was definitely not simple.
Lu Yin, sitting on the back of an ant, was unaware. Because Karon had spoken out, he had become a celebrity again. The matter of him molesting Xi Yue was also brought up. But because of Karon, no one dared to find trouble with him. For Lu Yin, he didn't know if this was a blessing or a curse. In any case, he couldn't rely on that little incident to get rich anymore.
The ant's speed was very fast, and its back was exceptionally stable. Lu Yin was about to fall asleep sitting there.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked back. He didn't know when, but a female was following them, also sitting on the back of an ant. The female's long black and white hair was very eye-catching.
Lu Yin's pupils contracted. This woman was the one he had seen in the starry sky, the White Night clan female who had slaughtered an entire space pirate spaceship. Why was she on 'Great Superstar'?
Moreover, there was not a single trace of an aura on this woman. If not for his intuition, he wouldn't have discovered her existence.
"Amu, when did that woman catch up?" Lu Yin asked in a low voice.
Amu was puzzled. "What woman?"
Lu Yin was speechless. He hadn't even noticed until now.
Amu looked back and was stunned. "Sev... sev... Seventh Bro! The White Night... a woman from the White Night clan! There's a woman from the White Night clan here!"
"I know," Lu Yin said calmly and looked back at the woman again.
The woman raised her eyes and met Lu Yin's gaze. This time, Lu Yin did not see sorrow and regret in the woman's eyes, only calmness and indifference.
Amu was clearly scared. The name of the White Night clan was famous throughout the universe; they were a super-terrifying great clan in the Innerverse. The arrival of any clan member was enough to cause chaos. He hadn't expected such a person to suddenly appear behind him while he was sleeping. Especially that red longsword, it had almost scared him to the point of peeing his pants.
"Seventh Bro, what should we do? That woman won't want to chop us up, will she? Let's run," Amu said in fear.
Lu Yin frowned. "Ask your ant when she came here."
Amu ah-ed and lowered his head to get close to the ant.
Soon, Amu looked up, looking as if he had seen a ghost as he glanced behind him and whispered, "Seventh Bro, the ants don't know."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. This woman had perfectly concealed her aura. His Breath Concealment Art could hide his combat power, but this woman had erased her very existence. Even the ants didn't know there was a person on their backs. What a terrifying method.
Lu Yin suddenly remembered the Earth trial, when Zhang Dingtian was assassinated by Yin. At that time, Zhang Dingtian had almost died. They had all thought it was because Yin had hidden his combat power, so Zhang Dingtian couldn't sense him. In fact, it was absolutely not just that. Zhang Dingtian had a warrior's intuition, yet he still couldn't discover Yin and had only dodged the fatal blow by instinct. What Yin had hidden at that time was definitely not just his combat power, but his very self, just like this woman.
Lu Yin turned to stare at the woman. "Who are you? Why are you following us?"
The White Night clan woman did not speak, just sat there indifferently.
Lu Yin's eyebrow twitched. "You are from the White Night clan. I know Hui Baiye."
The woman still did not react and just sat there, her gaze calm. No, to say it was calm was not as accurate as saying it was indifferent. She didn't care about Lu Yin, nor did she care about anything around her.
Lu Yin turned around. Although he had not been answered, he had just proven one thing, which was the effect of the Breath Concealment Art. This woman could not see through his strength with the Breath Concealment Art; otherwise, she would definitely not have this attitude.
Lu Yin was confident that in the Melting Realm, very few could defeat him. His strength, even in the entire universe's Melting Realm, was top-tier and would not be overlooked. The fact that this woman didn't care proved that she couldn't see through him. This was good. He also didn't have the habit of exposing everything.
The ant swarm continued to advance to the northwest.
