In Astral-10's treasury, the bearded old man looked at Lu Yin in shock, "Not bad, kid. You must have paid a high price for exceeding the quota."
"What price?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
The old man snickered, "Everyone knows, so it doesn't matter. They've already confirmed that you've completed the mission, so there's no need to hide it."
Lu Yin was puzzled, what was there to hide?
The old man scoffed, "Exceeding the quota in two days? Do you think they're idiots? Unless you're a Lockbreaker. Alright, let's see what other missions you want."
Lu Yin didn't pay attention to the old man's words, nor did he accept any missions. He left immediately after receiving his reward, which was just a few star crystals.
Astral-10 didn't have a fixed residence, so Lu Yin returned to the space station. He guessed that this was the only place that wasn't monitored by the mentors, so he decided to roll his die.
He had rolled it twice on Iltol Corporation's trash planet and rested for a few days. He should be able to roll it three times now, but he wasn't sure if that would yield anything.
He raised his hand and crushed a cube of star crystals before tapping the die. The die spun slower and slower, and Lu Yin's breathing grew ragged. Finally, it rolled a two.
Lu Yin was speechless; it wasn't like he was going to decompose anything. He crushed another cube of star crystals and rolled a five. Lu Yin cursed inwardly; it was useless again. Who knew who had an innate gift here, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find anyone in ten seconds.
There was still one last roll left, and he was a little nervous. He tapped the die and the five sides disappeared, leaving only a six.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank. He had rolled a six once before, but it had absorbed all the star crystals he had. The memory was still fresh in his mind, but what about this time?
He didn't have much time to think about it before the die began to absorb the star crystals in his cosmic ring. A hundred, a thousand, two thousand, three thousand … all the way to ten thousand.
The moment the die absorbed all 10,000 star crystals, the scene in front of him changed. He found himself in a strange, dark space, and his consciousness transformed into a ball of light that flew forward at a slower speed. There were countless balls of light around him, some large, some small, some ordinary, and some as hot as stars.
The sixth point allowed him to fuse with someone in the universe and experience that person's entire life. Activating the sixth point required more than ten thousand star crystals, and that was just the starting price. The orbs of light that he was currently looking at were those that he could sense with his current strength, and they were the closest to him that would not cause him any harm.
Lu Yin himself also transformed into a ball of light, and when he looked at the countless balls of light around him, he was stunned.
Suddenly, he felt a pulling force, and he knew that something was wrong. He didn't have enough star crystals left, and if he used them all up, he would have wasted a chance before he could fuse with any of the balls of light.
He didn't think too much about it and rushed towards the ball of light that was as hot as the sun. He guessed that the stronger the ball of light, the more terrifying its owner would be. However, before he could even get close, he felt like he was about to be burnt to a crisp. These balls of light weren't something he could touch, so he had no choice but to rush towards a ball of light that was slightly larger than him. He fused with it, and at the same time, the fifteen thousand star crystals in his cosmic ring were all absorbed by the die.
A beautiful girl called out anxiously from a dark patch of grass, "Da Lei, wake up, Da Lei!"
Yes!
Lu Yin heard her call and opened his eyes. Where was he?
"Da Lei, you're awake! That's great!" the girl was excited and smiled at him.
Da Lei? Lu Yin was confused.
Wait, he seemed to have rolled a six and fused with someone's consciousness. Was it this person?
"Da Lei, what's wrong?" The girl looked at him nervously. The man in front of her seemed familiar, but his gaze was unfamiliar.
Lu Yin rubbed his head, instantly receiving all the information from this person. His head felt a little dizzy, but after a while, he turned to the girl and smiled, "Nothing, I was just joking."
She sighed, "You scared me to death, don't joke like that again."
Lu Yin, no, Da Lei nodded, "Aya, I'm hungry, can you buy me something to eat?"
She grunted, "Then stay here, I'll go buy some food."
Lu Yin watched her leave and then looked at his own body. He sighed; he was Da Lei now, and he didn't know how long it would take to fuse with him, but it shouldn't be too long.
He raised his hand and felt the indescribable power within him. This Da Lei was a Limiteer!
This was the power of a Limiteer. Not only that, but Lu Yin was also ecstatic; this person's control of star energy had reached the realm of infinite change. He was a famous genius on this planet who was planning to join the Thirteenth Imperial Squadron.
He hadn't expected to be in the Thirteenth Filament, which was the border of the Frostwave Weave. Ten thousand star crystals had sent him here; if he had more, would he have been sent straight to the Innerverse?
Star energy condensed in Lu Yin's palm and gradually took form. Finally, it took the form of a flame that vibrated with the air, creating a scorching heat. This was the realm of infinite change.
This was the realm of infinite change. This person wasn't even forty years old, so he could be considered a member of the younger generation. To be able to control star energy to such a level, what a genius!
The same battle technique and the same realm, but with different control of star energy, the power would be completely different.
It was a pity that this person didn't have any battle techniques and only knew a few common ones. He didn't know how to find a backer or how to earn money, and he didn't even dare to approach the girl he loved.
"Ah!" Lu Yin hurriedly stood up; it was the girl's voice.
In the distance, Aya had fainted on the ground, and when Lu Yin rushed over, several cultivators walked out from the shadows. One of them looked at him smugly, "Long time no see, Da Lei."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Through Da Lei's memories, he knew that this person was called Ramos, the son of the most powerful person on this planet. He had always been jealous of Da Lei's talent and had wanted to bribe him to take part in the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons' test, but Da Lei had rejected him.
"Ramos, I've already rejected you. Let Aya go," Lu Yin said in a low voice.
Ramos sneered, "I'll give you one last chance. Give up your spot and I'll let you live. I'll even give you battle techniques. Otherwise, you'll never get any."
Only then did Lu Yin realize that Da Lei didn't know any battle techniques because he had been sealed. It was no wonder that a Limiteer like him could only use common battle techniques and couldn't even leave this planet.
"I won't agree," Lu Yin said again.
Ramos shrugged, "A blockhead is a blockhead. Do you really think you can attract the attention of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons?
This universe has no lack of geniuses. Let me tell you, the Empire is paying attention to King Zishan and the others who have entered the Astral Combat Academy.
You've long been forgotten. Even if I kill you tonight, no one will bother me. Attack! "
Immediately, several Limiteers attacked Lu Yin. He instinctively used Flash to dodge, but his body was unstable and he almost fell. He had forgotten that this body belonged to Da Lei, and even if he could use Flash, he wasn't used to it yet.
Bang!
There was a loud explosion as the ground shattered and Lu Yin flew into the air. Behind him, a middle-aged Limiteer growled and attacked with a battle technique.
Lu Yin raised his hand and condensed star energy to its peak before striking out with his palm. The two sides collided, and the middle-aged man was sent flying into the ground.
This was the terrifying power of controlling star energy to the realm of infinite change; it could even resist battle techniques.
At the same time, several other Limiteers surrounded Lu Yin. Lu Yin gritted his teeth and used Flash to dodge again. This time, he succeeded and his body vanished, causing their attacks to miss.
Lu Yin appeared behind one of the Limiteers and used his star energy to form a sharp blade. The Limiteer reacted quickly and dodged, but the blade sliced through the void and a huge amount of star energy swept out, cutting the ground in half. At the same time, the shockwave blasted towards the river in the distance, causing it to flow backwards.
The battle here should have attracted the attention of the army, but they had yet to show up.
Ramos had already arranged everything, and he was going to bury Da Lei tonight.
He had no intention of letting Da Lei go, even if Da Lei had agreed to give up his spot. Ramos wanted to see the despair and regret in Da Lei's eyes as he watched this genius fall before his very eyes.
Lu Yin panted and then laughed. This Da Lei was really lucky. If he hadn't taken over this body, he would have been finished tonight.
"Da Lei, your little girlfriend looks pretty good," Ramos's voice came from the ground. He had already walked to Aya's side, crouched down, and reached out to touch her.
