Liu Jing arrived with a pale face. "Commander."
Xia Yan asked in a low voice, "Who let him in?"
Liu Jing was terrified. "It was me. Seven knows how to set up a sourcebox array, so I brought him in to test it out. I didn't expect him to just walk in."
Master Zan angrily retorted, "Liu Jing, do you think that just because you know how to set up a sourcebox array, you can repair the origin awl?
This was set up by my master, Grandmaster Deng Guo. Even if I wanted to repair it, it would take me ten years to study it. How old is this kid?
Does he think that he can fix it?
Let me tell you, it's fine if the sourcebox array isn't triggered. Once it is, the danger within the sourcebox might become even more complicated, and the resources that I mentioned before will double. "
Xia Yan's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Master Zan.
Master Zan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and he no longer spoke. He had been able to demand resources so brazenly because of his status as an origin array master and the fact that he had a master in the Realmyuan Realm behind him. More importantly, it was because of Commander Xia Yan's tolerance. If Xia Yan became angry, Master Zan might not be able to bear the consequences.
Liu Jing worriedly looked inside the origin awl.
Old Dragon had a strange look in his eyes, as he did not know that this junior of his had mastered a sourcebox array. He was bold, meticulous, ruthless, and decisive in his actions. His strength was at the top of his peers, and he was truly a genius.
"Evacuate everyone immediately," Xia Yan ordered. Although he was not a Lockbreaker, he understood the complexity of a sourcebox array. An experienced Lockbreaker would need at least a few years of research before they could repair an unfamiliar sourcebox array. This was also why Xia Yan had tolerated Master Zan, as aside from himself, only Grandmaster Deng Guo could repair the second sourcebox array. Even if Draconic Seven had mastered a sourcebox array and was somewhat talented, it was impossible for him to repair the origin awl.
Xia Yan frowned, as this was the best outcome that Xia Yan could think of. The worst outcome was that the origin awl would be damaged even more severely, and Draconic Seven might even lose his life. How troublesome.
"Master Zan, please contact Grandmaster Deng Guo and ask him to come here," Xia Yan said.
Master Zan's expression turned ugly. "Master is guarding the array base, so it's not convenient."
"Master Zan, please contact Grandmaster Deng Guo and ask him to come here," Xia Yan said again, but his tone was not as gentle..
Master Zan gritted his teeth. In the end, he didn't dare to disobey the commander-in-chief's authority. He raised his hand and contacted Master Deng Guo through the cloud stone.
His control over star energy had reached the level of a World-level cultivator, and his domain was close to the Spirit Transformation realm. In addition, he also had access to Gu Yue's understanding of sourcebox arrays. An hour later, he cleared up his thoughts and began to deal with the situation.
"Don't move." Master Zan hurriedly stopped him.
Lu Yin acted as if he couldn't hear anything. His star energy transformed into multiple threads that shot out and simultaneously moved the five cone-shaped sourceboxes. The only difference was that the direction of the sourceboxes had changed, but the chaotic killing intent from the sourceboxes had become slightly clearer. Lu Yin then attacked again.
Another hour passed, and Master Zan watched on in shock. At this moment, the cone-shaped sourceboxes were all standing upright, and they all seemed very calm. Even those who were not Lockbreakers could tell that the sourcebox array was much calmer than before.
Master Zan looked at the relaxed Lu Yin and felt as if his worldview had been turned upside down. How was this possible?
This person could repair it just by walking around the original cone?
Then what about all his years of research?
Xiao Li was stunned. This guy was actually so relaxed?
Even his master could not do such a thing.
Xia Yan and Eccentric Long exchanged glances, unable to hide the joy in their eyes. They looked at Lu Yin as if he were a treasure.
At this moment, the void distorted.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
An old man slowly walked out. His face was ruddy, and his hair was white. Although he was old, he was still very spirited.
When he appeared, even Xia Yan and Eccentric Long greeted him. This was Grandmaster Deng Guo, a Realmplain formation master who had crossed three Origin Tribulations. Combined with his sourcebox array, even someone with five Origin Tribulations might not be able to do anything to him.
"Master," Master Zan said nervously.
Grandmaster Deng Guo clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Lu Yin, who was standing within the sourcebox array. His eyes were filled with admiration. "He's so young, but his understanding of lockbreaking is unique. His star energy has reached the level of a World-level cultivator, and he's supported by his domain and external objects. Even I was far from being able to reach his level when I was young.
Xia Yan spoke, but no voice was heard. He sent a voice transmission to Grandmaster Deng Guo.
Grandmaster Deng Guo was astonished. "How unexpected. Those people only know how to capture people, but they actually produced a lockbreaking genius. What a pity." He then looked at Eccentric Long and smiled. "Congratulations."
Eccentric Long enthusiastically asked, "Grandmaster Deng Guo, do you have any intentions of accepting another disciple?"
Master Zan's expression changed.
When Grandmaster Deng Guo heard this, he seemed to be tempted. He looked at Lu Yin. "This kid's lockbreaking acumen is unique to ordinary people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see the origin awl in such a short amount of time. He does indeed have the qualifications to become my disciple."
Eccentric Long laughed. Long Seven was a member of the White Dragon Clan. No matter what his relationship with the White Dragon Clan was or what had happened in the past, he still represented the interests of the White Dragon Clan. A Realmplain formation master was enough for Eccentric Long to set aside his prejudices against Long Seven. It seemed that he would have to instruct the clan to not treat Long Seven as an ordinary disciple.
"Master, that kid is too daring and reckless. He charged straight into the origin awl. If he activated it, it could easily cause casualties," Master Zan hurriedly said. He was afraid that Grandmaster Deng Guo would really accept Lu Yin as his disciple. If that happened, would he still have any status?
He understood Grandmaster Deng Guo, and he hated reckless people.
Grandmaster Deng Guo calmly replied, "What you did was reckless, but what he did was confident."
Master Zan lowered his head, and his expression turned even uglier. He looked at Lu Yin with a cold gaze.
Within the sourcebox array, Lu Yin did not know what was happening outside. He was focused on sorting out the chaotic danger from the sourceboxes. Finally, after four hours, all of the cone-shaped sourceboxes automatically buried themselves into the ground, and the origin awls were restored.
Xia Yan's gaze relaxed, and he looked at Lu Yin with admiration. He had not expected Qingchen to send such a talent to him. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yin was on a Humble School mission, Xia Yan would have kept him here and not allowed him to go out and risk his life. It was not worth it for such a talent to go out and risk his life.
Eccentric Long also looked at Lu Yin with gentleness and encouragement.
Lu Yin saw this; this old man must be crazy. He had been picky before, but now he was looking at Lu Yin with such a gaze?
Liu Jing was the happiest, as Brother Ah Qi had lived up to everyone's expectations and had actually managed to repair a recovery awl. It was simply amazing.
Xia Yan glanced at Liu Jing, who hurriedly transmitted something to Lu Yin. Lu Yin stepped forward. "Subordinate Ah Qi greets the commander, Senior Long, and Grandmaster Deng Guo."
Xia Yan was satisfied. "Ah Qi, you've mastered sourcebox arrays?"
Lu Yin replied, "Yes. This subordinate saw that the origin awl was damaged, and I recklessly tried to repair it. Please punish me, Commander."
"Haha, you repaired the origin awl, so what's there to punish?
Not only did you not make any mistakes, you even did a good deed. "Xia Yan was delighted.
Eccentric Long laughed. "Ah Qi, have you heard of Grandmaster Deng Guo?"
Of course not, Lu Yin thought to himself.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
However, he did not dare to say it out loud. Instead, he spoke with reverence and a hint of longing. "I've heard of him. Grandmaster Deng Guo is the most respected Lockbreaker senior, and he's a mountain that we juniors look up to. He's our goal."
Anyone who could be called a Grandmaster and even stand in front of Grandmaster Zan was definitely a Lockbreaker, and not an ordinary one at that.
Grandmaster Deng Guo was delighted to hear this, and he praised, "You're called Ah Qi?"
Lu Yin hurriedly bowed. "Yes."
Grandmaster Deng Guo nodded. "How many sourcebox arrays have you mastered?"
"Two," Lu Yin replied. He had only revealed the flow channeling diagram at the Sword Stele, but he had also revealed the greater teleportation array during the battle. As for the Origin Opening Array, he had not revealed it yet, so there was no need to reveal it.
Grandmaster Zan was shocked. Lu Yin had mastered two sourcebox arrays?
Grandmaster Deng Guo was astonished. "Can you show it to me?"
Lu Yin nodded and raised his hand to reveal the flow channeling diagram.
Grandmaster Deng Guo took a look and exclaimed, "Ingenious. Using the danger of the sourceboxes to form a flow channeling force that dissolves the enemy's attack. This sourcebox array isn't complicated, but it's hard to imagine. It's extremely useful in battle."
Lu Yin then used the greater teleportation array.
Grandmaster Deng Guo was shocked. "It's this sourcebox array?
Where did you learn it? "
"Both of my sourcebox arrays came from the Sword Stele," Lu Yin said. He was a bit nervous, as this Grandmaster Deng Guo actually recognized the greater teleportation array.
Grandmaster Deng Guo muttered, "You even have one from the Sword Stele?
Your sourcebox array might have come from the Sword Stele as well. "He then looked at Lu Yin." Seven, do you have a master in lockbreaking? "
Lu Yin shook his head. He really did not have one, nor did he want one. There was no need for one. If he really wanted to find a lockbreaking master, Heavenly Master Shangsheng would be the most suitable. Unfortunately, Heavenly Master Shangsheng only accepted disciples from Eternal Sky Island, which was not limited to lockbreaking. Lu Yin also had Mister Mu, so he could not become a disciple of Eternal Sky Island.
Grandmaster Deng Guo smiled. "Since that's the case, are you willing to learn from me? Of course, you can't become my disciple directly, as I still need to test your nature. If you're suitable, I'll accept you as my disciple. What do you think?"
Old Monster Long was delighted; he had succeeded.
Lu Yin did not care about this Grandmaster Deng Guo at all. If he wanted to test him, then so be it. He put on a sincere expression and said, "This junior will work hard and become Grandmaster's disciple as soon as possible."
Grandmaster Deng Guo was satisfied, but Grandmaster Zan's face paled as he gritted his teeth.
Not long after that, Grandmaster Deng Guo left with Grandmaster Zan.
Old Monster Long encouraged Lu Yin, and his tone became much friendlier. He also expressed that he no longer minded what had happened beneath the ladder.
Lu Yin could only pretend to be grateful.
One by one, they left. Xia Yan was about to leave as well, but before he left, he instructed Lu Yin to find a better item to protect himself. Lu Yin hurriedly said, "Commander, I have something that I need your help with."
Xia Yan was relaxed. "What is it?
Feel free to tell me. "He was very happy that he had not been exploited by Grandmaster Zan, which meant that he had repaired the sourcebox array for free. Of course, Lu Yin would still receive some contribution points.
Lu Yin said, "I want to exchange for the Cloud Landing Robe, but it has already been reserved by Commander Bai Chi. I would like to ask for your help."
Xia Yan frowned. "Reserved?
Bai Chi wants to prepare something for his family again. Come with me. "He then led Lu Yin to the basement of the headquarters to find the old woman.
