Chapter 48: Genius (1/2)
Gerlaine blew her top when she saw the lightning around Zhang Dingtian, and glared at Lu Yin fiercely, “You scoundrel, you actually gave my armor to a random person. Bastard!”
Lu Yin waved his hand, “Don’t be offended, I’ll return it to you later.”
Gerlaine was infuriated, “No need, it’s too disgusting with all that sweat in it. You can use it as your coffin!”
Lu Yin ignored her and turned to the sky, where Zhang Dingtian felt his strength surging within that lightning armor. He recalled how Lu Yin had used this armor to ignore the attacks of so many students.
“Gerbach’s toy,” Munoor’s expression darkened, eyes squinting as a cold gaze swept towards Gerlaine, “His sister is here too, perfect. I can teach you a lesson.”
He then charged downwards, but Zhang Dingtian snorted and slashed out with his broken blade to block the path.
“You’re courting death!” Munoor barked as he saw the unhesitating slash, swatting Zhang Dingtian away with a claw. A bestial roar rang through the void, inspiring fear in the onlookers; this was the seventh form of the Skybeast Claw, far exceeding Raas’s strength. The attack should have killed Zhang Dingtian instantly, but the Bladesage growled softly in the face of the terrifying attack. Blood flowed down his lips as his blade trembled rapidly, distorting the air around it. A strange force converged around the weapon, radiating oppressive pressure. A loud explosion rang out as the broken sword clashed with the claw, powerful aftershocks dispersing the clouds in the sky and tearing the ground apart. One slash followed the city walls and cut the earth open, the depth of the gash unknown.
Scarlet blood sprinkled from the skies onto the ruins below as Zhang Dingtian’s armor broke, body crashing down to the ground where Lu Yin caught him at the last moment. He was left unable to even move, and his sword was shattered further, but no one dared underestimate him anymore. His attack had actually injured Munoor!
Up in the sky, Munoor stared at the native in shock. Fresh blood was dripping down his right shoulder, and his fingers were trembling from the impact. An elite of Yu Academy, a Melder who had once strived against a legendary existence like Gerbach, had actually been injured by a native and blasted a hundred meters away. Even if his power was restricted, this was supposed to be impossible! No one would even believe that the seventh form of the Skybeast Claw couldn’t kill a native.
Raas was stunned, ‘Where did such a pervertedly strong native come from?’
Bai Xue and the others quickly took Zhang Dingtian away to be treated. It was truly amazing that he had held out for so long; after all, his opponent was one of the strongest youths of the Great Yu Empire who had spent much more time cultivating than he had. Meanwhile, Lu Yin rose into the sky, “I’ll be your opponent now.”
Munoor stared at Lu Yin with an icy glare, fully intent on erasing his previous humiliation on this other native.
……
In the giant spaceship floating over Earth, everyone in the control room was similarly shocked at what they had just watched on the display. They were all aware of who Munoor was, as only a few Melders had come to participate in this planetary trial. This made Munoor one of the strongest participants, and yet a native had just injured him!
A loud bang brought everyone’s gazes to an excited Sigmund, “A realmbreaker! Who could have thought this planet had such talent! If he wasn’t missing battle techniques, he could have had a brilliant fight. This is the type of soldier we want.”
