Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Lu and Xia

Not far away, Las coughed up blood at the corner of his mouth, struggling to stand up in disbelief. The Rending Sky Palm had hit him directly without any obstruction, and at that close range, it had seriously injured him. However, this injury was much less shocking than what Lu Yin had just shown him. How could this person know the Heavenly Beast Claw?

"Who the hell are you?" Las roared.

Lu Yin landed and took a step towards Las, "The one who caught you." Saying that, he placed a hand on Las's shoulder and exerted force. With a kacha sound, Las screamed miserably as his shoulder was crushed. "Sorry, if I didn't do this, you would easily resist," Lu Yin said and threw Las towards the capital city.

The other man shouted sternly, "You will definitely die! He is Young Master Las, the son of Lord Sika. Lord Sika will not let you go! The twelve teams of the Imperial Court will not let you go! The Great Yu Empire will not let you go!"

Lu Yin frowned, "Shut up." Saying that, he similarly crushed his shoulder and threw him towards the capital city.

After dealing with the two men, Lu Yin turned to look at Xia Luo, who was also watching him.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in you," Xia Luo said with a gentle smile, calmly looking at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin nodded, "Thank you."

Xia Luo smiled faintly, "My name is Xia Luo, let's get to know each other."

"Lu Yin."

"Lu Yin? Lu?" Xia Luo was surprised, "This surname is not easy to come across in the Starry Sky."

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Indeed, in Earth, the surname Lu was very common, but in the Starry Sky, it represented a different kind of group, an ancient unique surname. This was the common name for their group. In the universe, the scrutiny of people with ancient unique surnames was extremely strict. No one knew when it had started or when it would end. One of the reasons Lu Yin had come to Earth was to obtain a legitimate identity.

Earth possessed quite a few people with ancient unique surnames. This planet had been under the supervision and control of the Great Yu Empire for countless years before finally becoming legitimate. And what Lu Yin wanted was precisely a legitimate identity.

"The surname Xia is also not commonly seen in the Starry Sky." Saying that, Lu Yin jumped up and flew back towards the capital city.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Luo's mouth. People with ancient unique surnames, he himself was one of them.

Outside Earth, a colossal spaceship quietly floated in space, like a giant beast encompassing Earth, its lights brightly lit.

The moment Las was captured, everyone inside the spaceship was in an uproar. Over a dozen people were in the huge circular observation room, all looking at the light screen. The scene being displayed on the screen was precisely the moment Las was defeated, as well as the moment Lu Yin crushed Las's shoulder.

Someone angrily said, "How dare he! To actually hurt Young Master Las, sentence him to death, he must be executed!"

"This native is dead for sure. Three months ago, Yasta was killed by him. He's the first native to kill a trial participant. He robbed so many students some time ago, even Gules was robbed. Then he captured 23 trial participants. Today, he actually dared to hurt Young Master Las. This native must be executed, otherwise, we won't be able to report to Lord Sika," someone shouted loudly.

"What is this native saying? I can't hear his voice, damn it!"

Many people were emotionally agitated.

Of course, there were also a few who admired Lu Yin's actions. The so-called trials were not just aimed at the students; there was also the intention of trialing the natives. Many elites of the empire came from various native planets. This was the empire's method of discovering talent. This person was definitely talented, but unfortunately, offending Las meant offending Sika. Sika's power in the Great Yu Empire was immense. This native, no matter how outstanding, was sure to die.

Dong dong dong

The sound of footsteps rang out, clearly very light, but they exploded in everyone's ears, silencing the originally noisy observation room. Everyone made way, respectfully watching as three men gradually approached.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a stern and solemn expression, wearing battle armor, his eyes as deep as the sea. His name was Siken Maldo, a general of the Great Yu Empire, and also the person in overall charge of this Earth trial.

To his right was a pale-faced young man with floating steps, his whole body exuding coldness. Although seemingly weak, he was actually Toleona, the deputy captain of the ninth team of the Imperial Court's thirteen teams.

And to Siken Maldo's left was a man with a gloomy expression and ice-cold eyes, strange lines imprinted on his face. He was tall and slender, about two meters tall, with arms longer than ordinary people. His name was Sa La Shu, the deputy captain of the Imperial Court's twelfth team, and he was also Las's protector for this trial.

These three were the highest-ranking people in charge of this trial, all of them experts who could stroll through the starry sky.

With the arrival of the three, everyone retreated, respectfully standing on both sides.

The three directly walked to the light screen and watched the scene within.

"Stop," Siken Maldo whispered, and the image froze. In the picture, it was precisely the scene of Lu Yin using the Heavenly Beast Claw.

Siken Maldo was surprised, "Without observing the stone tablets, he can use the Heavenly Beast Claw, and it's not just imitation, it's more like a perfect reproduction. This person is a prodigy."

Sa La Shu's eyes narrowed, his gaze chilling, "Continue playing."

Soon, the image paused again, and the last scene was Lu Yin crushing Las's shoulder.

Sa La Shu grinned, ruthlessly licking his lips, "Vicious, and he has guts."

"Have you found out? Where does this person come from?" Siken Maldo asked in a low voice.

A person in front respectfully reported, "Reporting to the General, this person is not on the list of trial participants."

"Nonsense, he was able to kill Yasta in the first place. It's absolutely impossible that he's a trial participant this time. Go back ten years and see if anyone slipped past the blockade line and entered Earth," Siken Maldo ordered loudly.

"Reporting to the General, we have investigated. Even going back 30 years, there's nothing."

Siken Maldo frowned, "It seems the empire's surveillance station needs another thorough check. This person used the Ripple Palm and the Rending Sky Palm, clearly from the Starry Sky, and he's not old, yet we haven't detected him."

The surroundings were silent, everyone feeling uneasy. Most of them were from the surveillance station.

"Record everything about this person. Wait until the trial is over and then capture him," Sa La Shu suddenly said, his voice gloomy.

On the other side, Toleona raised an eyebrow, "Capture him? Why?"

Sa La Shu's eyes were cold, "Entering a trial planet without permission, shouldn't he be captured?"

Toleona sneered, "Although Earth is under the empire's supervision and control, it's a free planet. Anyone can enter. If he wasn't detected, you can only blame the surveillance station for being incompetent. Would you blame the floor if you tripped and fell?"

Sa La Shu stared at Toleona, "What do you mean? Obstructing the twelfth team from carrying out its mission?"

"I haven't heard that the twelve teams can interfere with the trials," Toleona said disdainfully.

The people around nervously watched this scene. These two belonged to the Imperial Court's thirteen teams, a powerful organization, and both were deputy captains. When they spoke, no one else dared to even breathe loudly.

Siken Maldo waved his hand, "Alright, Sa La Shu, I know you were ordered to protect Las, but a trial is a trial. All results are based on achievements."

Sa La Shu laughed coldly, "Fine, you are the person in overall charge of the trials, you have the right to decide. I can only report to the team, and the team leader will make the decision."

Siken Maldo's gaze turned colder, adding a few more degrees of iciness.

At this moment, very soft footsteps were heard, just like when Siken Maldo and the other two had appeared earlier. The steps were very small, but they exploded in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked towards the passage. There, a person appeared, a woman. The first thing that caught their eye was a head of white hair, disheveled and reaching her bare feet, setting off her snow-white jade feet.

The woman had a pure and beautiful face, her eyes were bright, and a hint of red could be faintly seen in her pupils. She wore cool summer clothing, her skin glowed, and a few strands of hair were pinned to her forehead, making her look very cute. But the most captivating thing was not her appearance or clothing, but the ring on her hand.

Black inlaid with silver light, with carved flying wings and a sword inside, surrounded by ten black shadows. This was the power ring of the Universe Youth Council.

The woman's name was Comilla, and she came from the Universe Youth Council, representing the Council in overseeing the evolution trial of the planet.

Seeing Comilla arrive, the expressions of Siken Maldo and the other two became serious, especially Sa La Shu. Because at this moment, Comilla's faintly red pupils were fixed on him, and the immense pressure made Sa La Shu almost kneel down.

"I heard someone was trying to interfere with the trial. Is that true?" Comilla turned her gaze towards Siken Maldo, asking with a hint of a faint smile.

Sa La Shu's heart trembled, and he lowered his head. As the deputy captain of the Imperial Court's thirteen teams of the Great Yu Empire, a Star Walker expert, he was now bowing his head in front of a young woman. This was the power of Comilla, and also the power of the Universe Youth Council.

Siken Maldo said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your supervision, Miss Comilla. For the time being, there is no such matter."
