At night, Erde was thrown back into the dungeon, who turned out to be that Young Master Las.
This person's identity was truly not simple. Several students successively contacted Lu Yin, expressing their willingness to pay a hefty price to redeem him, but they were all rejected by Lu Yin. This Young Master Las's value was not something those Star Energy crystals could compare to.
Las was thrown roughly onto the ground, not far from where the Flower Corps' evolved humans were building defensive walls.
"Gules, why are you here too?" Las exclaimed in surprise, looking at the woman not far away.
Gules smiled mischievously at Las, "Sorry, Senior Las, I was also captured."
Las was furious. That damned girl was glaring and spouting lies. Captured looking like this? ..., "Are you the one behind this group? No wonder you dared to tie me up! You're really bold! Don't think you'll get away with it just because your brother is protecting you. My father is Sika!"
Gules blinked her innocent big eyes, "Senior Las, please don't wrong me. I don't have the ability to command them. If you don't believe me, ask others. I was also robbed by him."
Las didn't believe her at all. He just couldn't believe that a native dared to attack him. Although that native's strength was unexpectedly strong, so what? Without a solid background, even talent was just an ant.
"More students are approaching," Granny exclaimed.
Lu Yin and the others all looked into the distance. A figure quickly approached and finally hovered in the sky above the capital city, overlooking Lu Yin and the others.
Seeing the newcomer, Las was overjoyed, "Senior Mo Nuo, it's Senior Mo Nuo! Senior, I'm here!"
Gules's expression changed, "Why is it him? He actually came too."
Lu Yin was curious, "Do you know him?"
Gules said solemnly, "Mo Nuo, an elite powerhouse from the Martial Hall. He once competed with my brother. Although my brother doesn't pay him any mind now, he is one of the few Fusion Realm disciples in the Martial Hall."
Hearing "Fusion Realm," everyone's heart sank. The second batch of trial participants indeed contained Fusion Realm experts. Fire Sprite was one, and originally everyone thought it would be difficult to encounter a Fusion Realm expert, but unexpectedly, one had appeared here.
Mo Nuo lowered his head and scanned the capital city. He saw Las, and his eyes brightened. His purpose for coming was indeed Las. Las's father was Sika. As long as he rescued Las, he could board Sika's big ship, and his future in the Great Yu Empire would be secure.
"Native, release Young Master Las!" Mo Nuo shouted loudly, the shockwave scattering the clouds and pressing down, terrifying countless survivors.
Las was overjoyed.
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows, wanting to make a move. So what if he was Fusion Realm? A Fusion Realm whose cultivation was sealed might not be better than him.
Just then, Zhang Ding Tian stepped forward, his eyes calm, "This fight, leave it to me."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. Since he had rescued everyone a few days ago, Zhang Ding Tian had rarely made a move. Whenever students arrived, Lu Yin defeated and captured them. Granny, Gules, and the others' attention was all on Lu Yin. Even Erde and the others were almost forgetting Zhang Ding Tian. He was, after all, a Cross-Realm powerhouse, the first of the Seven Saints, with his own pride. The capital city was originally the place he guarded, yet others were protecting it. Zhang Ding Tian had endured for a long time, and now that his injuries had recovered, he urgently needed a battle.
Bai Xue looked at Zhang Ding Tian worriedly. The battle skills of these extraterrestrial students were tricky, and their use of power far surpassed theirs. Zhang Ding Tian could crush ordinary students, but today he was facing a top powerhouse.
Las was disdainful. If it were Lu Yin, he might still be worth watching, but a native dared to challenge a Fusion Realm expert? Even if the Fusion Realm expert's cultivation was sealed, they were not comparable to ordinary Exploring Realm cultivators. He was just a native.
Lu Yin nodded, "Be careful."
Zhang Ding Tian's eyes were fierce. He raised his broken blade and soared into the sky, directly facing Mo Nuo.
Gules's eyes shone. Las and the others didn't know, but they, the first batch of trial participants, knew that the biggest threat Hua Xia posed to them wasn't Lu Yin, but this first of the Seven Saints, the rare Cross-Realm powerhouse. He guarded the capital city with his blade, and even she avoided his edge.
Mo Nuo looked arrogantly at Zhang Ding Tian who had flown into the sky, "Native, get lost." Saying that, he waved his hand, and surging Star Energy swept across. Unlike ordinary Exploring Realm cultivators whose power was scattered, it was concentrated in one direction. This was unconscious control, and it showed that Fusion Realm experts' use of Star Energy was already effortless.
Zhang Ding Tian's eyes were firm. He raised his blade and slashed horizontally. Following the broken blade, a slash ripped through the Star Energy and directly swept towards Mo Nuo.
Mo Nuo, who had originally paid no attention to Zhang Ding Tian, changed his expression, raised his hand, and shattered the slash with a probing grab, "Interesting. So even natives possess strength comparable to ordinary Martial Hall members. No, it's slightly beyond ordinary Martial Hall members. You... a Cross-Realm powerhouse?"
Facing Mo Nuo's increasingly surprised expression, Zhang Ding Tian raised his blade and slashed again, but it was again shattered by Mo Nuo. Zhang Ding Tian possessed Cross-Realm combat power, stronger than Erde, enough to fight Las, but facing Mo Nuo, a Fusion Realm expert whose cultivation was sealed, his attacks were ineffective. Mo Nuo was a true Fusion Realm expert. Even though his sealed cultivation prevented him from unleashing Fusion Realm strength, his use of Star Energy and battle skills remained, not something Zhang Ding Tian could contend with.
With a bang, Mo Nuo's probing palm transformed into a claw and slammed onto the blade, cracking it slightly. The force spread along the broken blade to Zhang Ding Tian's arm, shattering all the sleeves on his arm.
Originally, Mo Nuo intended to shatter the broken blade with this strike, but he failed. At the crucial moment, Zhang Ding Tian miraculously dissipated some of the force, preserving the broken blade and preventing himself from sustaining serious injuries.
Zhang Ding Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated, raising his broken blade high and letting out a roar. A terrifying slash flickered erratically, and his body blurred inexplicably, leaving only an afterimage in place.
"Flowing Body Technique?" Lu Yin was surprised. Zhang Ding Tian had actually learned the Flowing Body Technique.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky. Two Zhang Ding Tians?
Las's mouth hung open. No way. A native was actually fighting Mo Nuo so fiercely. Even Mo Nuo using the Heavenly Beast Claw hadn't been able to defeat him. How could this be? When did natives become so crazy? A Cross-Realm powerhouse? The native planet actually had a Cross-Realm powerhouse.
In the sky, Mo Nuo's eyes were cold. He waved his hand to dissipate the afterimage, turned around, and swept out a kick. Violent wind power raged, distorting the air. The residual impact boomed on the ground, causing an earthquake. But at this moment, Zhang Ding Tian appeared beside Mo Nuo's body and slashed out with his blade, striking Mo Nuo in everyone's eyes.
Countless people's hearts were in their throats as they watched this scene in shock, including Gules and the others. This was Cross-Realm combat power, capable of contending with Mo Nuo. This Zhang Ding Tian was truly going against the heavens.
The broken blade swept across, without any sensation. Zhang Ding Tian's pupils contracted. Mo Nuo's figure in front of him vanished. He unconsciously blocked with his broken blade behind him. With a bang, the broken blade shattered, and terrifying force slammed into Zhang Ding Tian, sending him crashing into the ground.
Everyone was silent. In the sky, Mo Nuo appeared, his expression gloomy. A mere native had not only forced him to use the Heavenly Beast Claw but had also forced out his footwork battle skill. Unbelievable.
Everyone looked towards the ground outside the city. Dust flew straight to the horizon.
Gules exhaled. This was right. If this native had defeated Mo Nuo, it would have shattered their worldview. A native, no matter what, couldn't possibly defy the heavens!
"It's your turn," Gules said to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin pointed outside the city, "It's not over yet."
"Do you want him to die? A native can't possibly defeat Mo Nuo, it's unlikely he could even injure him," Gules said.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, "I really don't like the word 'native'."
"Humph," Gules turned her head away.
Zhu Shan and Wu Sheng also appeared, looking worriedly at the outside of the city.
Bai Xue clenched her fists, and a chilling air emanated from her body.
Las looked at Bai Xue in surprise. He had noticed this woman earlier. She was truly beautiful. He had originally planned to take her back as a maid, but what was this? Cold air? Frost? Talent? What the hell was with this native planet? Even gifted cultivators were appearing, and there was a Cross-Realm powerhouse. And the one who defeated him was that freak. Everything imaginable was here.
At this moment, the dust settled, and what appeared before everyone was Zhang Ding Tian holding a broken blade, covered in wounds, but still standing firm, steadfastly looking towards the sky, slowly rising.
Mo Nuo's eyebrow twitched, "You have spirit. What is your name?"
"Zhang Ding Tian."
Mo Nuo said admiringly, "Follow me, and I will lead you to join the Martial Hall. You are qualified. What do you say?"
"No interest," Zhang Ding Tian coldly replied with three words, gripping the broken blade tightly.
Mo Nuo laughed, "You want to fight me with that broken blade? Let me tell you, the gap between us is irreparable. Facing me, you can only fail."
"That's not for sure. Zhang Ding Tian, I'll give you something," below, Lu Yin shouted and threw Gules's battle armor ring over. Zhang Ding Tian unconsciously caught it and looked at Lu Yin in confusion.
Lu Yin said, "Your fight wasn't fair to begin with. He's Fusion Realm, and you're only Exploring Realm. Don't be stubborn."
Zhang Ding Tian's eyes flickered. He put on the battle armor ring. The next moment, the armor covered his entire body, flickering with lightning.
