There were still some who did not understand, but even more were horrified.
Everyone knew that Lu Yin was Seventh Bro, and Seventh Bro had jumped from a one star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker to a five star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, which had caused a huge commotion in the Lockbreaker Society. Now, there was another assessment, and it was obvious that this was the Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker assessment.
Lu Yin was taking the test to become a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker.
Everyone gasped. It can't be, right? So fast?
Casanova pursed his lips. What a freak.
Liu Ji was stunned, and her desire to challenge Lu Yin vanished. Even though Lu Yin had yet to successfully unlock a Boundless Advanced sourcebox, for some reason, everyone believed that he would succeed.
The other two youths stared at the screen. They were also part of the Lockbreaker Society's Five Heroes. One was called Mi Wen, and he was a Three Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. The other was called Qing Zhiyu, and he was the leader of the Five Heroes. He had just become a Five Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker the day before, and even Wu Dan did not know about this.
But even if she did, she would not have cared. Just as he had said, a difference of one word could make the difference between heaven and earth.
"Lu Yin is truly a legend." Mi Wen smiled and then looked at Qing Zhiyu. "If he joins the Innerverse Lockbreaker Society, then he can replace you."
Qing Zhiyu silently leaned against the wall and did not reply.
At this moment, the door to a Lockbreaker Room opened, and someone walked out. If Lu Yin was here, he would have been shocked, as the person who walked out was an old acquaintance: Astral-6's former leader, Dao Bo.
Everyone watched as Dao Bo walked out.
Qing Zhiyu said, "Congratulations on becoming a One Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. From now on, you are one of the Five Heroes — no, one of the Four Heroes."
The Innerverse Lockbreaker Society had once had the Five Heroes, but unfortunately, two of them had died during the Sixth Mainland's invasion. Otherwise, even if Dao Bo became a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, he would not have been able to replace them.
Adding another member to the Five Heroes would have been a joyous occasion, but everyone's eyes were glued to the screen. Once Lu Yin became a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker, that would be a huge matter.
Lu Yin represented the Outerverse, and his success meant that the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society had surpassed the Innerverse Lockbreaker Society. The Newverse Lockbreaker Society had already surpassed the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society, and the Innerverse Lockbreaker Society had now become the weakest.
Dao Bo nodded at Lightfeather, and he followed everyone's gaze to the screen. When he saw Lu Yin, he was shocked.
"You have a good junior." Mi Wen smiled as he looked at Dao Bo. Then, he continued playing his game.
Everyone stared at Lu Yin's lockbreaking image in silence.
…
In the Lockbreaker World, Lu Yin had already spent an entire day unlocking sourceboxes. With his current speed, it would not take him long to unlock even a Perceptive Intermediate sourcebox. However, when it came to a Boundless Advanced sourcebox, one day was clearly not enough.
When Lu Yin was able to unlock normally, everyone knew that he had succeeded. No matter how long it took, he would succeed. No one considered whether he would give up due to lack of energy.
Another two days passed, and in the Lockbreaker World, quite a few people had already stopped watching. They had already seen the results, but after hearing the news, many people wanted to watch even more. This was because they wanted to know what they would gain from successfully unlocking the stone bridge.
There were many different types of sourceboxes in the universe, and none of them were the same.
There were sourceboxes of all shapes and sizes, but sourceboxes that were shaped like stone bridges were very rare. Many people had attempted to lockbreak and had heard many ancient messages, which made them even more curious about stone bridges.
…
Lu Yin's expression was solemn as he stared at the stone bridge. He had already unlocked more than half of the sourcebox and was about to succeed. He was also looking forward to seeing what he would gain from it.
With a soft sound, the sealed energy outside the stone bridge disintegrated. Everyone stared intently at the bridge, wondering what would appear.
The stone bridge was very ancient, and for it to be sealed as a sourcebox meant that it had an extraordinary significance.
Any successful lockbreaking of a Boundless Advanced sourcebox would attract a lot of attention, and at this moment, many Lockbreakers habitually ended the video so that no one could watch.
Lu Yin was inexperienced, so he did not end the video. Fortunately, Gui Junheng had taken action and ended the video the moment Lu Yin succeeded. Otherwise, everyone would have known what Lu Yin had unlocked.
When the video ended, many people in the Lockbreaker World were shocked. Lu Yin had succeeded, and he could now become a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker.
Boundless Advanced and Perceptive Intermediate. Different levels naturally meant different statuses.
Any Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker had privileges that far exceeded those of ordinary Lockbreakers. If any Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker died, they would be investigated by the Lockbreaker Society. The Lockbreaker Society could use the entire Hall of Honor to conduct an investigation, which was equivalent to having more than ten Honor Points.
In the Innerverse Lockbreaker Society, everyone watched the video end in silence.
Dao Bo sighed. He could still remember when Lu Yin had been studying at the Astral Combat Academy and had clashed with the Blaze Realm. Dao Bo had even helped Lu Yin back then. At that time, Lu Yin had multiple clones, and now, his status had become unreachable.
Among those of the same generation, who could do what Dao Bo had done?
In the Neoverse, atop Realm Mountain, Superior Sage Wudi sighed. "What a pity. If he had joined Everlasting Island, Master would have definitely nurtured him with all his might. None of us can inherit Master's legacy, but this kid can. What a pity."
Elder Chan replied, "It's fine. His achievements are also the achievements of the Human Domain and the Fifth Mainland."
Although Lu Yin had just become a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker, some people were not looking at the current Lu Yin. Instead, they were looking at the future, where they were witnessing the birth of a resplendent powerhouse.
A person's height determined their horizons. Wu Dan was also a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker, but he only looked at Lu Yin's lockbreaking abilities. He did not have a clear understanding of Lu Yin's power level, and he was filled with confidence in himself.
Yu Hua, Mavis, and the others had only looked at Lu Yin's power level, not his lockbreaking abilities.
As for Mu En, he had seen Lu Yin's boldness and methods to unify the Outerverse.
Everyone was in a different position, so they naturally saw different things. No one would have thought that they were only looking at one side of Lu Yin.
Only someone like Elder Chan, who stood at the peak of the universe and knew about the past and present, could see through Lu Yin.
Looking at it from another perspective, a youth like Elder Chan needed to see through him. What kind of genius was that?
In the Lockbreaker World, Lu Yin stared blankly at the stone bridge where he had successfully unlocked it. There was only a pile of sand and nothing else.
He pursed his lips. He had successfully unlocked the stone bridge, but it had also disappeared. This was the pain of being a Lockbreaker. They had paid a huge price to succeed, but in the end, they had gained nothing.
Xiao Chi sighed. "There's nothing. Bad luck."
Xiao Shi shook his head.
Gui Junheng looked at the sand on the ground, and her eyes flashed. "There's something there."
Just as she spoke, Lu Yin also saw that there was something hidden within the ordinary sand. Was that … Fatesand?
Lu Yin was shocked and blew away the sand. There were sixteen grains of Fatesand on the ground.
Fatesand was very precious, and Lu Yin had met many people in the Innerverse and Outerverse, but there were very few who had Fatesand. Back then, he had even stolen Hong Ying's Fatesand and fused with it. Now, he had actually obtained sixteen grains of Fatesand.
Lu Yin was delighted, as this was good stuff.
Gui Junheng nodded and sighed. "It's rare to be able to obtain something from lockbreaking."
Lu Yin put away the grains of Fatesand. "Thank you, senior, for granting me this sourcebox."
Gui Junheng smiled. "There's no need to thank me. After you pass the test, the Society will compensate me with a Boundless Advanced sourcebox. I didn't lose out, and I even got to personally witness the birth of a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker. Haha."
Lu Yin smiled, and then he suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand, and two grains of Fatesand appeared. He handed them to Xiao Chi and Xiao Shi. "For you."
The two mushroom-headed youths were stunned, and they looked at each other before looking at Lu Yin in confusion.
Lu Yin said, "Thank you for introducing me to this senior. This is my thanks."
Giving something to Gui Junheng was a slap in the face. She was a senior, and Lu Yin did not have the qualifications to do so, so he could only give it to these two youths. Xiao Chi was Gui Junheng's disciple, so giving it to him was also considered giving it to Gui Junheng.
Gui Junheng beamed as she watched.
The two mushroom-headed youths cowered.
Lu Yin smiled. "Take it. It's fine."
The two youths accepted the sourceboxes.
Lu Yin had a use for the Fatesand. He had been able to fuse with Hong Ying's Fatesand, so he should be able to fuse with these grains as well.
He definitely needed to fuse with the Fatesand in his heart to block that black and white fog.
If he used the Fatesand to block it, others would not be able to see it. Of course, it would be a different story for the head inquisitors.
"You can wait here for a while. The assessment will be over soon, and once you pass, you will be able to have your own planet in the Lockbreaker Realm as your lockbreaking ground. You will also be able to enjoy all the benefits of the Lockbreaker Society, including lockbreaking tools, techniques, and even exchanging sourceboxes of equivalent value for sourceboxes in the Ancientspirit Sea."
The Ancientspirit Sea was a nearby ocean that had been nurtured by six enormous sourcebox arrays.
Lu Yin curiously asked, "Senior, what are the sourcebox arrays in the Lockbreaker Realm called?"
Gui Junheng casually answered, "Six Ancientspirit Arrays."
Lu Yin was shocked.
Xiao Shi looked at Lu Yin in shock. "You've heard of them?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "Nope, but the name sounds amazing."
At that moment, Gui Junheng's gadget beeped. She glanced at it and then said to Lu Yin's group, "I'm going out for a bit. Feel free to do as you wish." She then left.
Xiao Chi arrived at the stone bridge where Lu Yin had successfully unlocked the sourcebox and lamented, "A Boundless Advanced sourcebox was able to unlock Fatesand. What a pity."
Xiao Shi replied, "It's alright. Fatesand is very precious, and there aren't many people in the Innerverse or Outerverse who have it. Even in my Neoverse, there aren't many who can obtain it. It's just a pity that we can't gather all of it. Otherwise, we would be able to affect fate."
Lu Yin raised his brows, but Xiao Shi's words interrupted his thoughts. "What do you mean by gathering all of it?"
Xiao Shi replied, "Fatesand."
"What do you mean by gathering all of it?
Is it scattered? "Lu Yin asked.
Xiao Shi nodded and then pushed his glasses up. He flipped open the book and looked through it carefully. "Found it." He stared at the book and solemnly said, "Fatesand is created by fate. Once all of it is gathered, it can affect one's own fate and divine the past and future. It can even see through the long rivers of the world. It's a very mysterious thing."
Lu Yin also stared at the book, but he did not say anything.
