Lin Hai saw Chen Yu charging towards him, intimidated by the other’s imposing aura, he immediately retreated.

"Everyone together, capture him."

As long as these people help him capture Chen Yu, Lin Hai would rather give up the Token.

With the hatred between Lin Tianfeng and Chen Yu, capturing Chen Yu alive would definitely make Lin Tianfeng look up to him.

Passing the assessment is not difficult for him, but being valued by Lin Tianfeng, Lin Hai’s future path would be much smoother.

"Kill!"

Everyone loathed Chen Yu deeply, and their moves were lethal from the outset.

"Scorpion Mad Sword."

The Black Scorpion King wielded a uniquely shaped, black sword resembling a scorpion’s tail, and began to dance wildly.

Behind him appeared a giant scorpion phantom, with the tail like a sharp sword, frenziedly stabbing forward, as fast as lightning.

"Chen Yu, let me knock you down with one punch."

A dark-skinned man roared angrily, stimulating his Bloodline Power, his body rapidly expanded into a giant over a hundred feet tall.

Boom!

His fists hammered out fiercely, shaking the heavens and earth, two dark yellow fist lights flew out like small mountains, overwhelmingly powerful.

The others also made their moves, venting their grievances.

Regarding the siege, Chen Yu was undisturbed.

On his body, Star Acupoints shimmered, a total of seven hundred and seventeen light clusters.

From within the Star Acupoints, starlight surged out, forming a Star Robe on Chen Yu’s body.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu swirled up the robe, causing it to flutter.

With the tier of his current Astral Body, he could easily fend off attacks from the Peak of Star Condensing Middle Stage.

Among the attackers, only the Black Scorpion King was at the Peak of Star Condensing Middle Stage, while the others were all at the Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm, or even lower.

Rumble!

From all directions, attacks descended from the heavens, an incredibly terrifying storm enveloped Chen Yu.

The eight surrounding people all sneered, feeling relieved, as though victory was within their grasp.

But at the moment when the attacks hit Chen Yu, a violent and fierce destructive storm expanded outward.

"What’s happening?"

"Attack rebound?"

Everyone present was startled, quickly retreating, using their Yuan Power for defense.

Before the attack hit Chen Yu, they saw Chen Yu activating a secret technique, a Star Robe appearing on his body, but they didn’t expect this secret technique to rebound attacks.

Whoosh!

The Black Scorpion King flew back a distance, only slightly injured, his blood and Qi churning.

The other seven were all more seriously injured.

When they saw Chen Yu in the center, they were all dumbfounded.

Chen Yu was unscathed!

"This..."

The Black Scorpion King found it hard to believe.

The eight of them surround-attacked Chen Yu, and yet all of them were slightly injured, but Chen Yu was not harmed in the slightest.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu, wearing the Star Pattern Robe, flew toward Lin Hai.

"No, don’t come over!"

Lin Hai was frozen with fear from the recent scene.

Chen Yu’s strength was terrifying, how could he possibly withstand it alone.

Swish!

He turned and fled swiftly.

But Chen Yu suddenly changed direction, charging towards another Lin Family Disciple.

Boom!

A fist struck out, its might alarming the heavens and earth, a massive white fist light crushing forward.

The Lin Family Disciple’s expression changed drastically, he exerted himself in defense, retreating rapidly.

Everyone assumed Chen Yu’s target was Lin Hai, including this Lin Family Disciple, thus his guard against Chen Yu’s sudden attack was extremely low.

Thump!

Chen Yu’s first punch landed, causing the opponent to spew blood wildly, his figure flew back, with over a dozen bones fractured.

Boom!

Immediately after, Chen Yu’s second punch landed, crushing this Lin Family Disciple with thunderous force!

This scene shocked everyone around.

Chen Yu was audacious beyond belief, he actually dared to kill a Lin Family Disciple!

Lin Hai had previously thought Chen Yu wouldn’t kill him, but seeing this, he suddenly felt cold all over, as if plunged into an ice cave.

This was simply a madman who feared neither heaven nor earth!

After killing one person, Chen Yu rushed towards Lin Hai again.

The shock from earlier slowed down the reactions of the others.

Chen Yu quickly closed in on Lin Hai, his palm gripped, a bright silver giant hand formed in the void, a means formed from the Profound Meaning of Space and Yuan Power.

Facing the double-layered Profound Meaning of Space and the True Yuan condensed by the "Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique", Lin Hai had no means to resist, and was captured alive.

"Quick, attack, kill him!"

The Black Scorpion King roared, having been forced by Chen Yu before to harm his own people, he could not allow Chen Yu’s arrogance to continue.

Swoosh!

The black scorpion sword flew out to stab at Chen Yu, flashing a terrifying dark glow.

The others also used their trump cards, intending to take down Chen Yu.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu retreated, relying on the defense of the Star Pattern Robe to withstand numerous attacks.

"You all mean nothing to me now."

Chen Yu chuckled lightly, took hold of Lin Hai, and sped away.

"Don’t let him escape!"

The Black Scorpion King shouted, immediately giving chase.

The other pursuers were the same, they hated Chen Yu deeply, and having attacked him with the intent to kill, they were not about to let Chen Yu escape easily.

Just then, a huge explosion sounded below.

Boom, crash, thud!

The spatial barrier was shattered by several slender youths, all of them charged out, only to find Chen Yu already surrounded by the Black Scorpion King’s eight, having killed one and captured Lin Hai, and speeding away.

"Too fierce."

The slender youth marveled.

They had taken only a few moments to break through the spatial barrier.

In just a few breaths, Chen Yu killed Lin Family disciples, captured Lin Hai, and left composed, unable to be stopped by anyone!

Suddenly, the frail young man thought of something.

He was the one who called Lin Hai, and now Lin Hai was taken by Chen Yu, wasn’t this his responsibility?

He was also responsible for the death of another Lin Family disciple.

"Chen Yu, if you’ve got the guts, don’t run."

The frail man immediately chased after, provoking Chen Yu, wishing desperately for Chen Yu to stay.

But Chen Yu was determined to leave, and even with more people, they couldn’t catch up.

Of course, they could continue to track him, but was it worth pouring out a large amount of Yuan Power on this?

They had lost their Tokens, while Chen Yu had dozens of them. Once their Yuan Power was exhausted, even if they caught up to Chen Yu, they’d be like sheep entering a tiger’s den, subject to slaughter.

"Damn, let him escape!"

The Black Scorpion King shouted to the sky in anger, the fury in his heart hard to quell.

The others felt generally the same.

They had all been tricked by Chen Yu, then teamed up to kill him, only to fail.

For the first time, they felt their lives had been so unsuccessful.

"I absolutely won’t let him have it easy. Everyone, I’ve come up with another plan."

The Black Scorpion King suddenly spoke.

"What’s the plan?"

The dark-skinned man immediately asked.

"Spread rumors that Chen Yu has a hundred Tokens!"

The Black Scorpion King wore a sinister expression.

"Will anyone believe it?"

A hundred Tokens—it was too exaggerated, especially since the trial had only just begun. Even Qin Wentian might struggle to gather so many Tokens.

But on second thought, if the rumor wasn’t exaggerated, it wouldn’t spread far. Besides, Chen Yu did already have quite a few Tokens.

...

Chen Yu carried Lin Hai, flying for an hour before stopping.

"Chen Yu, how dare you catch me? Do you know you’re opposing the Lin Family!"

Lin Hai shouted loudly.

The Lin Family was a Demigod family of the Human Race!

"What kind of thing are you, to represent the Lin Family?"

Chen Yu said dismissively.

Grudges among juniors are generally not interfered with by seniors, especially since this was an examination and conflicts were unavoidable.

Moreover, even if Chen Yu killed Lin Hai, would the Lin Family send someone to kill Chen Yu just over a young junior?

What’s more, the Lin Family still owed Qingyun Emperor a great favor, and Chen Yu was the fianc of Lin Yuxuan; would the Lin Family really strike him?

Recalling the death of the Lin Family disciple earlier, Lin Hai was completely subdued, and said softly, "I know your rules, you let me go, and I’ll call two people for you."

Previously, Chen Yu had repeatedly threatened others before they agreed, but now, he hadn’t even pressured Lin Hai, yet the other party volunteered.

Lin Hai casually betraying friends made Chen Yu even more disdainful.

"No need for two, one will do."

Chen Yu said coolly.

"One?"

Lin Hai was stunned.

From the mouths of people like the Black Scorpion King, he heard they had tricked two friends before Chen Yu let them go.

Yet he only needed to trick one, it seemed Chen Yu still feared the Lin Family, giving him a "half-off discount."

"Alright."

Lin Hai agreed immediately.

But right after, Chen Yu mentioned a name: "Lin Tianfeng."

Lin Hai froze for a moment, then suddenly reacted, his whole body trembling, his face pale.

He seemed to receive a "half-off discount," but Chen Yu had designated Lin Tianfeng!

"Can we... pick someone else?"

Lin Hai stammered.

He really didn’t dare deceive Lin Tianfeng!

Moreover, it meant tricking Lin Tianfeng to come here, allowing Chen Yu to insult Lin Tianfeng.

Lin Hai couldn’t imagine how miserable the consequences would be if he did that.

"No!"

Chen Yu rejected firmly.

He was determined to deal with Lin Tianfeng; precisely for this reason, he killed another Lin Family disciple to prevent news from leaking.

"I will not betray Brother Tianfeng! Even if you kill me, I won’t help you against Brother Tianfeng."

Lin Hai declared righteously and resolutely.

A moment later.

"I... agree to your terms."

Lin Hai yielded under Chen Yu’s "intimidating power."

Lin Hai was truly weak in character, willing to do anything for himself; Chen Yu slightly threatened, and the other party agreed.

"Brother Tianfeng, I found Chen Yu’s trace, come quickly."

Under Chen Yu’s supervision, Lin Hai sent out the message.

"Can I leave now?"

"No, with your Brother Tianfeng coming, how can you leave?"

Chen Yu grinned wickedly.

Lin Hai stayed beside Chen Yu, uneasy as if sitting on needles, his clothes soaking with cold sweat, every second feeling like torture.

"Lin Hai, I’m here."

A voice transmission sounded, and Lin Hai froze in place.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three figures rapidly approached.

The leader had short purple hair, vivid brows, piercing eyes, with bright purple glimmers in his gaze, full of heroism.

Lin Tianfeng arrived!

Beside him were two Lin Family disciples, both mid-stage Condensed Star Realm.

With their Lin Family status and strength, early in the second trial, they could almost act without restraint unless encountering the late stage of the Star Condensing!

Lin Tianfeng paused slightly upon seeing Chen Yu.

Wasn’t Lin Hai supposed to have just discovered Chen Yu’s trace? What was going on? Did Lin Hai actually catch up to Chen Yu?

"Let me explain, I caught Lin Hai, told him he only needed to lure you here, and I’d let him go."

Chen Yu grinned wickedly.

Lin Hai beside him held onto a faint hope, but listening to the words, he felt as if struck by lightning, remaining motionless in place, heart roaring, "Chen Yu, I’ll never share the sky with you!"
