Chapter 1197: Energy Flow

Xiao Shi and Xiao Chi were terrified by the scene, and they fled.

Gui Junheng’s eyes showed that he was impressed, but he merely waved a hand to dispel the sound wave. The Array Master looked at Lu Yin and saw that all that had happened was that a bit of sweat had beaded up on Lu Yin’s forehead. The youth opened his eyes and continued.

Gui Junheng nodded in approval. As expected of the Human Domain’s most talented Lockbreaker among the younger generation. It was clear that Lu Yin was able to control his spiritual force.

Just because a person was capable of unleashing powerful attacks did not mean that their spiritual force would also be as impressive; the two metrics were completely independent of each other.

Upon thinking about this, Gui Junheng began to look through Lu Yin’s records.

All of the Lockbreakers throughout the Lockbreaker World praised how Lu Yin had handled the attack.

“So there are people in my Lockbreaker Society who qualify to inherit this organization. It’s not easy to even touch such a sourcebox at his age, and he’s comparable to Wu Dan.”

“Yes, this child is even from the Outerverse. Geoffrey must be thrilled.”

“It’s too bad that that old drunk’s gone, as this would give him another reason to get drunk.”

“Whether or not he can compare to Wu Dan will also depend on whether or not he’s able to successfully unlock this sourcebox. Approaching it merely indicates that his strength is enough to begin.”

…

Somewhere in the starry sky, Wu Dan was staring at a screen in front of him, and he watched as Lu Yin started lockbreaking. A smile slowly began to appear on Wu Dan’s face; things were starting to become interesting. As an independent organization, the Lockbreaker Society was not able to overwhelm the competition in ZENITH. However, Wu Dan had been working hard to master a sourcebox array in preparation for those arrogant young talents. Still, he alone would not be enough, and he needed someone there who could be used as a comparison to him, and Lu Yin was the best option.

Beneath countless eyes, Lu Yin began lockbreaking.

It was prohibited to use any items when taking a lockbreaking exam, though Lu Yin did not even have anything that he could use. By now, he had already grown past the upgraded gemspring water of being any help to him.

Still, Lu Yin did not need to rely on any lockbreaking tools. He had already comprehended a sourcebox array, and as for his lockbreaking abilities, he had improved tremendously after learning from the Daosource Sect’s Platform of Inception and reading through Gu Yue’s journal.

Lu Yin’s lockbreaking method was different from most contemporary Lockbreakers, and it was actually more similar to the ancient methods.

He swept his star energy across the entire bridge, and once he saw the condensed energies that formed the sourcebox, he felt as though he were peering into an alternative universe. Still, his star energy control had reached the Worldliness realm, and he had also extensively studied Gu Yue’s journal, which made it easier for him to unravel the energies covering the stone bridge. He then began to search for the opening.

Gui Junheng and the others watched Lu Yin crouch down and begin lockbreaking from a specific corner. Most Lockbreakers were not able to understand Lu Yin’s choice, and the faces of the very few who could immediately changed, as they had noticed what Lu Yin was doing.

Many of the spectators were surprised. “He’s already able to perceive the energies’ flow despite his youth. That’s not something that Lockbreakers are normally capable of, as not only does it require a fine control of one’s star energy, but also sufficient experience. Where did this child come from?”

“There are many experienced Advanced Lockbreakers who need to use lockbreaking tools, battle techniques, and everything else at their disposal to accomplish such a feat, but this child is able to accomplish this so easily. His lockbreaking talent is extraordinary.”

“Whose disciple is this child?”

Being able to see the pattern behind a sourcebox’s energies was one thing, but being able to use those veins of energies to accelerate one’s lockbreaking speed was an entirely different matter.

Lockbreaking was a complex process, and it could be said that it revealed everything that a Lockbreaker had mastered.

Lu Yin traced the flow of the energies within the stone bridge, and he carefully observed the runes filling his vision. Then, he quickly identified the blockages in the flowing energy and traced them back. Suddenly, 720 stars erupted from Lu Yin’s body and surrounded the entire stone bridge.

Someone in the Lockbreaker World who was watching was shocked by the sight. “That’s actually the Cosmic Art, and he’s even reached the peak of the third layer! So this child’s a member of the Cosmic Sect?”

“Is he from my Cosmic Sect? Haha, awesome!”

“So he’s from the Cosmic Sect. Then, this is normal.”

Not far from the planet where Lu Yin was lockbreaking, there was a bit of land above a sea. This place was where many Lockbreakers were tested. There was one remote portion of this island where a person named Xiu Ming lived. He was from the Neoverse, and he was actually the president of the entire Lockbreaker Society. He was an incredibly powerful Lockbreaker, and he was known as Grandmaster Xiu.

There was a thatched hut, a flowerbed, and a waterfall next to where Xiu Ming lived.

He was lounging in a recliner that gently rocked as he stared at a screen. Xiu Ming was also quite surprised at what he saw, as well as delighted. “Young man, you are quite powerful. So there still are people who will inherit this society. However, this child is far more conniving and ambitious than Wu Dan. Even if a Lockbreaker is extremely talented, his future achievements will be limited by his mindset, and he will never be able to reach the true peak. What a pity.

“You should continue to train and train. If you train to the level where you qualify to become one of the society’s presidents, then not even old guy Geoffrey will be able to teach you anymore.” Having spoken, Xiu Ming seemed to suddenly remember something, and he took out his gadget. “It’s been a long time, and the society has nothing that it needs to bother you for, but you should have a student and do some teaching. You already know about Lu Yin, and you are not strangers.”

Atop Mt. Microcosms, Arch-Elder Zen was calmly looking at a screen, and it was showing Lu Yin unlocking the stone bridge sourcebox.

Behind the ancient powerhouse, Highsage Wudi was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His eyes would flick up from time to time, and he looked distressed.

Sitting down cross-legged was a very simple action, but Highsage Wudi felt like he was suffering through purgatory at this moment. Clearly, his experience was different from a regular person’s.

“Arch-Elder Zen, you seem to be very concerned about my junior brother,” Highsage Wudi asked in a strange tone.

Arch-Elder Zen replied in a light tone, “Don’t call him ‘junior brother’ in the future. I have already told Highsage Grandmaster that, starting from today, Eversky Island has no one by the name of Lu Yin.”

Highsage Wudi was taken aback. “Why? Does Old Zen have some opinion about him?”

Arch-Elder Zen looked over at Highsage Wudi. “Highsage Grandmaster gave him a choice, and Lu Yin did not choose Eversky Island. I also gave him a choice, but he still did not choose Eversky Island. It is his life, and he already has a master. Thus, there is no need for you to intervene.”

“Master also mentioned that he must have another master, but he didn’t say who that is. Is there someone in the Fifth Mainland who surpasses you and my master?” Highsage Wudi was surprised and grew even more puzzled.

Arch-Elder Zen did not respond. Instead, he continued to silently stare into the screen, as though he was staring at a treasure.
