Ku Wei could not describe this feeling. He waved his hand, and star energy filled the sky. The familiar star energy now looked completely different, as if it was being shone through a microscope.
Ku Wei raised a hand and casually fiddled with the star energy. The flow of star energy was much smoother than before, and he looked into the distance. The entire sky was filled with star energy, and he could see it clearly.
Lu Yin stared at Ku Wei curiously. He had upgraded that drop of spring water fourteen times, but he did not dare to use it himself. Thus, he had used Ku Wei as an experiment, and it seemed like the results were quite good.
"How do you feel?" Lu Yin asked.
Ku Wei was shocked. "Your Highness, this … this is spring water?
It's too mysterious. "
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "How does it compare to other lockbreaking tools?"
"It's not even on the same level. Let me put it this way: I feel like I've shrunk countless times to look at this part of the sky. I can clearly see the star energy," Ku Wei said excitedly.
Lu Yin was satisfied.
"Even a normal person would be able to see star energy clearly after a drop of water from the lake, and they would be able to cultivate. Any normal cultivator would be able to use this to unlock a lockbreaker. This … this is too miraculous. Even the Cosmic Sect might not have such a miraculous lockbreaking tool. I feel that this level of control over star energy should be at the Divine Eye Realm," Ku Wei said excitedly. He then looked at Lu Yin and asked, "Your Highness, where did this drop of water come from?"
Lockbreakers focused on their control of star energy, and their realms were categorized by Minute Subtlety, Cloudwalker, Heavenly Intelligence, Divine Eye, World, and Esoteric. Ku Wei had once reached the Heavenly Intelligence Realm at most, but now, he had reached the Divine Eye Realm with just a single drop of spring water.
"Someone gave it to me," Lu Yin said, his voice tinged with heartache, as Ku Wei had wasted such a good item. This was a treasure that had been upgraded fourteen times and had consumed 560,000 star essence.
Even though Ku Wei had been used as an experiment, it was still a good item that could raise one's control of star energy to the Divine Eye Realm.
Lu Yin wanted to burn the bridge after crossing it, and he even wanted to get back at Ku Wei for this debt.
Ku Wei was still immersed in the excitement of the spring water and did not know what Lu Yin was thinking.
When Lu Yin arrived at Planet Hydrotink, he was naturally greeted by Saul, Felynn, and the rest.
Yi Feng had also arrived. He was Wei Rong's trump card to split the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society apart, and he had once been a member of the Wei family. Now that Wei Rong had pledged his allegiance to Lu Yin, the group of Lockbreakers that Wei Rong had brought with him had naturally merged with Planet Hydrotink.
No one wanted to talk about what had happened back then.
Lu Yin had come here to take the lockbreaking test.
He was now a One Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, and Saul and the others had assumed that he would take the test to become a Two Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. However, who would have guessed that he would directly take the test to become a Five Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker? Furthermore, from his words, it seemed that he also wanted to challenge the Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker test.
Lu Yin's appetite shocked Saul and the others.
"Alliance Master Lu, since ancient times, almost no one has directly jumped from One Star Perceptive Intermediate to a Five Star Perceptive Intermediate. The difference between the two isn't just a number, let alone the Boundless Advanced level," Saul said awkwardly.
Lu Yin replied, "That doesn't mean that it's impossible. I want to try."
Saul, Felynn, Yi Feng, and the others exchanged glances. In the end, they had no choice but to agree.
The lockbreaking test had video evidence, and it could not be faked. Even if Saul and the others wanted to help Lu Yin, it would be useless, so no one was worried that he would cheat.
"What about me, Your Highness?
Should I take the test first? "Ku Wei was eager to give it a try, and his eyes gleamed.
Lu Yin was disgusted. "You go first." He had originally wanted to upgrade the Ingenious Lake's spring water, but he had only managed to upgrade a single drop, which had been used by Ku Wei.
"Little brother, please show your lockbreaking level," Saul said politely.
Ku Wei displayed his five star Discerning Elementary level.
It was quite good for someone his age to reach that level, and even Saul had a higher opinion of him.
"Felynn, make arrangements for this little brother to take the One Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker test," Saul instructed.
Felynn complied, and at that moment, Ku Wei spoke up. "One Star?
That's too little. I want Three Stars. "
Saul and the others were stunned, and their expressions turned ugly as they glared at Ku Wei. "Little brother, don't speak carelessly. The lockbreaking test isn't simple."
Ku Wei waved a hand. "It's fine. Bring it on."
Saul was dissatisfied, as Lu Yin had wanted to directly take the five star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker test, but he had not dared to vent his anger. Now, this fellow wanted to skip a grade? What did he take the lockbreaking test for?
It wasn't just Saul; the surrounding Lockbreakers were also dissatisfied. The lockbreaking test was solemn and sacred, and many people would even go into seclusion to cultivate before the test. They would burn incense, kowtow, and so on, but these two fellows had actually skipped a grade.
"It's fine. Let him take the test," Lu Yin said indifferently. He then had Yi Feng lead the way, and they found a hidden room where he began to upgrade the Ingenious Lake's spring water.
Felynn's attitude towards Ku Wei was very bad, as she had deliberately chosen a sourcebox with a high danger zone for him to take the test.
Ku Wei was very excited, as what he saw was completely different from what he had seen before.
Elsewhere, Lu Yin smoothly used his die's Three Enhance to upgrade five drops of Ingenious Lake's spring water. He had spent 2,800,000 star essence, which was a lot, but it was worth it.
He dripped a drop of spring water into the lake, and when he opened his eyes, he was shocked. What he saw was indeed different; this was the Divine Eye Realm.
He remembered that the first time he had used the Giant Emperor's third eye, he had also felt this shocking sensation. However, as time passed and his cultivation deepened, the Giant Emperor's third eye's usefulness could no longer keep up, and it could not be upgraded.
Now, this situation where he had to rely on external items to help him lockbreak had appeared once again.
The lockbreaking test prohibited external items, but there were some items that could not be banned even if one wanted to. For example, the Ingenious Lake's spring water, which no one could detect.
Of course, it was not easy to rely on a consumable like the Ingenious Lake's spring water to increase one's lockbreaking level. Furthermore, the higher one's lockbreaking level, the more dangerous the sourcebox would be. Very few people would joke around with their lives.
Lu Yin was confident that he could frequently use the Ingenious Lake's spring water, which meant that he would have no problems in lockbreaking.
Under Saul's personal guidance, Lu Yin arrived at a lockbreaking room. This was the largest lockbreaking room on Planet Hydrotink, and it had been completely taken from Sourcepeak Planet along with an entire continent.
This room was specifically used to test five star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers.
Logically speaking, the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society did not have the qualifications to test five star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers, but as long as one applied to the higher-ups and under special circumstances, they could still do so. For example, Lu Yin could not travel through the Astral River to the Innerverse to participate in the test, so he could only stay here.
Although this lockbreaking room was called a lockbreaking room, it was actually a sealed underground space. The surrounding walls were covered with Thousand Thread Spirit Crystals to prevent the sourcebox's danger from leaking out.
When he entered the room, Lu Yin saw … uh, a clump of dirt?
Even though Lu Yin had already mentally prepared himself, and even though Saul had already informed him beforehand, Lu Yin was still stunned when he saw the sourcebox that he had to unlock. It was actually a clump of dirt.
This was a five star Perceptive Intermediate sourcebox, an existence that was second only to a Boundless Advanced sourcebox.
Lu Yin composed himself. Although it was just a clump of dirt, the number of rune lines it contained was enormous. Furthermore, Lu Yin's gaze turned solemn, as this clump of dirt gave him a sense of pressure. The sourcebox's danger was enough to threaten even an Enlighter.
And this was just the sourcebox's danger. In terms of the complexity of the solid energy, this sourcebox surpassed any of the sourceboxes that Lu Yin had unlocked before.
If this had been before he had read Gu Yue's letter and gone to the Starter Unlocking Platform, then even if Lu Yin could withstand the sourcebox's danger, it would have been very difficult for him to successfully unlock it. But now, he could see the sourcebox's solid energy network with a single glance, and he knew exactly where to unlock it. It was as if he had calculated everything meticulously.
At the same time, in the Innerverse, a girl with long, dark green hair walked out of a secret room. She was greeted by cheers and endless gazes of worship. Her name was Mo Yu, and she was a two star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. No, she was no longer a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, as she was now a Three Stars Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. She was one of the Lockbreaker Society's Five Distinguished Lockbreakers, and she was on the same level as Casanova.
News of Mo Yu passing the Three Stars Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker examination shook the entire Lockbreaker Society. It was not easy for someone her age to reach the level of a Three Stars Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, and she was a rare genius in history.
The older generation of Lockbreakers sighed with emotion.
"She's worthy of being one of the Five Distinguished Lockbreakers. It wasn't easy for her to pass the examination."
"That's right. Our society is filled with talents, haha."
"Right, when is Casanova's examination?"
"I'm not sure."
…
Mo Yu looked at the cheers that greeted her, but she was not happy. She would never forget the scene from the Cosmic Sea.
She had also participated in the battle in the Whitefall District, and she had personally witnessed Bu Kong, one of the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Three Skies, using a sourcebox array to instantly defeat the Ten Arbiters and Neoverse experts. None of those experts were people that she could contend against, and she had been knocked off the platform by Bu Kong.
At that moment, the sourcebox array had given her an incomparable shock. Being able to control a sourcebox array was the mark of a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker.
They were both from the younger generation, but Bu Kong was already a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker, while Mo Yu was still taking the Three Stars Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker examination. The gap between them was too great.
It was not just Bu Kong; it was said that Qiushi, one of the Neoverse's Four Ultimate Deities, could also use sourcebox arrays. It was Qiushi who had used a sourcebox array to throw the platform into the universe, which was why it had not been taken away by the Sixth Mainland. In the end, it had been snatched away by Nightking Zhenwu.
These people were all Boundless Advanced Lockbreakers, so what was there for her to be proud of?
Mo Yu closed her eyes and fell silent for a moment before finally opening them. "Mentor, please initiate the Four Stars Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker examination."
When she finished speaking, everyone in the Lockbreaker Society was shocked.
In the Outerverse, on Planet Hydrotink, Lu Yin approached the earth-shaped sourcebox step by step. The closer he got, the greater the pressure he felt. The sourcebox was releasing a gravitational force, and at the same time, the air was filled with soil. Every grain of soil was indescribably heavy, and they were like tiny planets that smashed towards Lu Yin.
With every step Lu Yin took, the pressure on him increased. Outsiders could not see it clearly, and only Saul and the others knew exactly how much pressure Lu Yin was currently enduring.
Even an ordinary Enlighter might not be able to get close to the sourcebox. Although the sourcebox was unremarkable and did not contain much killing intent, it was still unimaginably heavy.
Lu Yin felt as if he was competing with an entire continent, an entire planet, and even the entire universe.
The soil seemed to have taken root in the ground.
