White Snow had her back facing the snowstorm as she calmly looked at the three of them, "Students from the starry sky, their combat skills are pretty good."

"Who exactly are you? "They can't be natives, they definitely can't crush the three of us. We're all elites from various academies!" That person exclaimed in disbelief.

White Snow's eyes were bright, even brighter than diamonds. "Please mark the northeast as blue, I don't want to be disturbed here."

Lu Yin and Granny immediately stopped, subconsciously checking their combat power.

"Four thousand two hundred and ninety!" Both of them cried out in alarm. This was the strength of the Fusion Realm, and the mutated huge tree in front of them was a Fusion Realm creature.

"Go around it!" Lu Yin immediately decided to avoid it.

Suddenly, a few branches appeared from the river below, lashing toward Lu Yin and Granny. Lu Yin pushed away from her, avoiding her, and the branches flew high into the air, tearing the air and making a loud noise.

Granny felt a lingering fear. If not for Lu Yin pushing her away, she would have been attacked by the embodiment of life.

"Go around and avoid it!" Lu Yin yelled loudly.

As they spoke, countless branches flew over from all directions. Although the two of them were still quite a distance away from the mutated tree, they were still in the attacking range.

It was very difficult to get around the giant tree at the moment. If they used the radius of the giant tree to attack them, they would need at least ten seconds to get around it. And this was also a conservative estimate.

Lu Yin was moving in the air. Seeing that Granny could not hold on any longer, he threw out a palm attack. The Sky Splitting Palm knocked away the branch. He rushed to Granny's side, grabbed her and rushed towards the mutated giant tree.

"You're crazy!" Granny was shocked as she saw the giant tree getting closer and closer. Countless branches were like giant pythons soaring in the sky, and one could vaguely see the white bones on the ground. It was extremely terrifying.

Lu Yin said in a low voice, "Look at the back."

Granny looked back, her face pale. Their retreat was blocked, and the endless green branches formed a wall, preventing them from retreating.

"It's over, embodiment creature. We're dead for sure!" Granny said sorrowfully.

Lu Yin dodged nimbly, occasionally using the branches to advance a large distance. At the moment, he was less than three thousand meters away from the mutated giant tree, and the closer he got, the more he could sense the enormous and terrifying size of the tree, causing the space to distort, blotting out the sun.

Lu Yin was glad that he wasn't facing an intelligent being. Although this mutated giant tree was tough, its attack was completely instinctive, which allowed him to survive safely with Granny in his arms. However, they would not be able to survive for long.

Granny took out more than ten fire crystals from her storage ring and dropped them. The fire burned from the ground.

Lu Yin was speechless, "You still want to burn it?"

"Try it. Maybe it's afraid of fire."

There was no problem with that. Plants were afraid of fire, but looking at the giant tree that covered the sky, there was no hope of igniting a volcano if there was hope for an eruption. The fire crystal deposits outside Jinling City were not enough.

Lu Yin didn't have the time to talk nonsense with Granny. His eyes focused, what is that? People?

Under the mutated tree, there was a black dot moving left and right, growing bigger and bigger. It was a human like Lu Yin and the rest.

The man was even closer to the tree than they were. He kept retreating, dodging the attack of the tree trunk.

"So powerful!" Granny was surprised. She admitted that she could not withstand the attack from the tree trunk. If it wasn't for Lu Yin, she would already be dead. However, the person in the distance was clearly skilled and relaxed.

When Lu Yin saw that person clearly, his eyes turned ice-cold. It was the silver-haired man.

Under the moonlight, the full strength Heavenly Star Palm was hit by a beautiful wooden stick.

Dissolving the Butterfly Blade was something Lu Yin would never be able to forget. He could actually dispel the attack after using the full power of his Heavenly Star Palm when he was heavily injured by his Heavenly Star Palm. Moreover, at that time, it was not him who took the initiative, but his opponent's killing intent that forced him to use his full strength.

"Oh, fellow student, we meet again." The silver-haired man saw Lu Yin's eyes brighten and greeted with a smile.

The two of them knew each other?

Lu Yin avoided the whipping of the tree trunk, lightly saying, "What a coincidence."

The silver haired man easily avoided the tree trunk, "Unfortunately, I've been trapped for a while. If you guys were to head towards the north, there's a high chance of bumping into me. It's fate."

"You knew we were heading north?" Lu Yin's eyebrows twitched in puzzlement.

The silver-haired man said matter-of-factly, "Of course, I know your destination is surely Beijing, right?"

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed as he tried to guess who this person was. Was he the strongest expert in the academy that Ge was talking about?

"Be careful!" Granny cried out in alarm. Dozens of branches flew towards the silver-haired man from all directions. The silver-haired man gave her a friendly smile.

With a swishing sound, the tree trunk was penetrated. The silver-haired man rushed out unharmed. He turned around and smiled at Granny. Then, he looked at Lu Yin in a provocative manner.

Lu Yin held on tightly to Granny's hand. Under Granny's terrified gaze, he lifted his palm and slammed it onto the incoming tree trunk. With the appearance of the stars, Lu Yin also walked out unscathed after the tree trunk burst apart.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so I used thirty percent of my strength." Lu Yin said faintly.

The corners of the silver-haired man's mouth twitched. "I used two parts of my strength."

"Wrong memory, I used a portion of my strength!" Lu Yin didn't show any signs of weakness.

The silver-haired man snorted, "I used half of my strength."

Granny was speechless. Were these two competing? At this moment?

For some reason, when facing the silver-haired man, Lu Yin always felt an indescribable sense of danger, as if the [Blast Butterfly Blade] was hovering over his head, ready to descend at any moment. Unconsciously, he wanted to make this man afraid.

Countless branches appeared from all directions, sealing off the surrounding space.

Lu Yin said lightly to the silver-haired man, "Let's join forces and attack the main body. Otherwise, there'll be no end."

The silver-haired man nodded, "I was too tired from playing a few days ago. Otherwise, I could have taken care of it myself."

Lu Yin said faintly, "If I wasn't in a hurry, I would have used it to test my palm strength."

The silver-haired man's lips quirked upwards as he stomped on a branch and charged towards the tree.

Lu Yin threw Granny into the flames on the ground, "Be careful," then charged towards the giant tree itself.

The two of them were not far from the tree. They arrived in the blink of an eye.

To surpass the probing boundary was an important step in one's cultivation. Reaching the boundary proved that one had already reached the limits of the human body. Cultivators at this realm would have to break through the limits of the human body before they could step into the next realm.

There were very few students who could resist the monsters in the trial. Although the giant tree was not an intelligent creature, it was still too big, and its energy was also very vast, so defeating it was even more difficult than defeating ordinary monsters in the trial.

The silver-haired man raised his wyvern and charged towards the tree like a shooting star.

Lu Hidden Heavenly Star Palm was executed at full power. Faintly, another star appeared. This was the second star, and once it was formed, its power would once again increase explosively.

The Butterfly Blade and the Heavenly Star Palm hit the tree trunk at almost the same time. The solid surface of the tree cracked open, and with a loud bang, the two penetrated the tree for hundreds of meters before floating in the air and looking back.

The colossal mutated tree slowly fell down. Countless branches fell down, crushing the ground and covering the entire river.

Lu Yin and the silver-haired man turned to look at each other at the same time. In the instant they attacked just now, they could both sense how powerful their opponent was. This time, they could sense it even more clearly than last time.

This person became even stronger, and these words appeared simultaneously in their minds.

On the other side, the mutated plant was the most shocking. It was hard to dodge, because the defense was too strong, and even though she had never fought with Willow, she could be sure that Willow didn't have the ability to harm the tree. The two of them could actually do it, and they were even stronger than the strongest people in the academy.
