Lu Yin felt that it was a pity, as he had been hoping to get a gift. Forget it, even Master Wusheng had said that the price was high, so it probably wasn't something he could obtain right now. It was better to return to Astral-10 first since he had been out for so long.
Lu Yin closed the Lockbreaker Network and suddenly found an unread notification. He looked at it and saw that it was from Old Cai from Astral-10.
Temporary mission: head to the Umbral Butterfly Weave and obtain the Giant Emperor's third eye. Complete the mission and return to the academy.
"Giant Emperor?
Third eye? "Lu Yin was puzzled and immediately checked the network.
The Umbral Butterfly Weave was very far from Frostwave Weave. There were seven weaves in between, and there were less than a hundred regions in between. Compared to Frostwave Weave, the Umbral Butterfly Weave was slightly smaller. The giants were a barbaric race in the Umbral Butterfly Weave that possessed great power and had even produced space-exploring powerhouses.
Every giant was a hundred meters tall and had sharp mouths and monkey cheeks. They were bald and had long arms, and forests grew on their backs. Their bodies were green and their eyes were filled with black threads. There were almost ten million of them, and the one who ruled over them was the Giant Emperor.
Lu Yin searched for a long time, and he managed to find quite a bit of information regarding the Giant Emperor. However, there was no mention of a third eye. He even managed to find many images of the past Giant Emperors, but none of them had a third eye. Could Old Cai have made a mistake?
He originally wanted to contact Old Cai to ask, but after some thought, he decided against it. He would go take a look first.
It took a month to travel from Frostwave Weave to the Umbral Butterfly Weave, and Lu Yin planned to continuously look at the star charts during this time. Now, he needed to roll his die.
Only a few days had passed since he had last rolled the die, and Lu Yin calculated that it was still not time yet. He took out the star chart and studied it, trying to figure out the feeling that the crazy director had given him when he had activated the ninth star.
A few more days passed, and Lu Yin finally took out his die. It was time to roll it.
He tapped the die, and it stopped spinning. Lu Yin's surroundings changed, and he appeared in the Time Stop Space.
He was a little depressed, as this space was starting to wear him out. However, he couldn't bear to change the scenery. Forget it, it was only three days, and they would pass by quickly.
When the three days were up, Lu Yin returned to the manor and continued rolling his die.
This time, he rolled one, and a crystal card from an unknown bank dropped. It wasn't from the Mavis Bank, and Lu Yin pursed his lips. It's useless, so he continued.
When he saw that the die was still on one, he sighed. A pink dress had dropped, and he was stunned. How was this possible?
Without a second thought, he burned it. If anyone saw it, his reputation would be ruined.
Lu Yin sighed. He would never be able to roll his die in front of others again in this lifetime. He didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if a set of female underwear suddenly appeared in front of him.
He took a deep breath, squeezed his fingers, and tapped the die once more. When it stopped spinning, the number that appeared before him was six.
Six points, a mysterious number. Lu Yin's pupils shrank as his eyes burned with passion; this number was just right for him.
Everything in front of him changed, and he turned into a ball of light that appeared in a pitch-black space. There were balls of light everywhere, some warm, some hot, some large, and some small. Lu Yin's ball of light flew further and further away. He had 200,000 cubes of crystals in his cosmic ring, which was enough for him to travel very far.
This time, Lu Yin wasn't in a hurry. He wanted to see how he could choose the most suitable person for himself.
As he moved further and further away, he discovered that some of the balls of light were repelling him, while others were attracting him. He was still thinking when he suddenly felt a pulling force. His face changed. No way, have I used up all 200,000 cubes of crystals?
He didn't even think about it and immediately rushed towards the ball of light that was attracting him.
This ball of light was much larger than his own, and it was also larger than Da Lei's. It should be a Limiteer, and it definitely wasn't weak.
The moment Lu Yin rushed into the ball of light, his consciousness faded away. When he regained consciousness, he had transformed into another person, a genius Lockbreaker called Charon.
Lu Yin looked at his hands and saw a handsome man in the mirror. This was Charon, a genius Lockbreaker from the Timo Weave. He was a five star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker who was only one step away from becoming a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. He was a true genius, and more importantly, he was a student of Astral-6 and one of the Area Masters of the Dao of Purgatory. He was on the same level as Spear Mountain's Area Master, Frankfurt.
Lu Yin knew that he had hit the jackpot, as this person was definitely the most suitable person for him. They were both Lockbreakers, and it was no wonder that Charon's ball of light had attracted Lu Yin. There was a faint connection between the two of them, and Lu Yin knew that he would have to choose the ball of light that attracted him in the future. There were definitely similarities between the two of them.
Suddenly, Lu Yin thought of something and immediately checked his star map. Although the Timo Weave wasn't as far from the Frostwave Weave as it was from the Umbral Butterfly Weave, it was still two weaves away. At such a distance, his crystals definitely wouldn't last long. Lu Yin quickly sat down and reviewed Charon's life, focusing on his lockbreaking experience.
Charon was indeed a genius five-star Lockbreaker. He had unlocked no less than twenty sourceboxes, and the experience that had allowed him to become a five-star Lockbreaker had come from a sword-shaped sourcebox.
It had been one of Astral-6's Limiteer missions, and the person who had issued it was unknown. However, the mission to unlock a sword-shaped sourcebox had become famous throughout Astral-6 because two Lockbreakers had already died to this sourcebox, killed by a single strand of sword qi. This sourcebox had even attracted the attention of a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, who had stated that this sourcebox was indeed suitable for Discerning Elementary Lockbreakers. However, it was extremely difficult to successfully unlock it, and anyone who succeeded would be rewarded with five stars of merit.
Charon had succeeded, and he had spent three days to unlock the sourcebox. He had almost collapsed from exhaustion at the very last moment, and he had also obtained the sword named Revealing. This had shaken Astral-6, and he had become the most talented Lockbreaker after Dao Bo.
Lu Yin replayed the process of unlocking the Revealing Sword, and he was shocked by Charon's exquisite control of star energy. Although this person could not see as clearly as Lu Yin could when he used the Sirius Art, he had relied on his familiarity with star energy to forcefully unlock the sourcebox. This was the method that most Lockbreakers used, and Lu Yin would have been cheating if he had used the Sirius Art.
Charon was truly a genius Lockbreaker.
Even though Lu Yin was replaying the process, he was still sweating profusely from exhaustion. However, his gains were not small, as he had fused with Charon's body, which was equivalent to having Charon's lockbreaking experience. This was a valuable asset.
With a clang, Lu Yin retrieved the Revealing Sword from his cosmic ring. The sword's blade was light and agile, and it was silvery-white in color. The sword's edge glowed with vibrant colors, and there were faintly discernible veined patterns on its surface. With a casual wave of his hand, a huge crack appeared in Charon's cultivation room. Lu Yin was shocked, as a room that could be used for a Limiteer's cultivation was definitely not made of ordinary materials. However, the Revealing Sword had been able to easily cut through the room. It was too sharp.
Furthermore, the veined patterns on the sword's edge were clearly not simple. This was a weapon that had been sealed away for an unknown period of time, and it possessed a mysterious power.
Lu Yin was a little greedy, and he really wanted to obtain this sword as well as the wealth within Charon's cosmic ring. However, after some thought, he decided not to be too greedy. He had already obtained Charon's lockbreaking experience, and if he robbed Charon of everything, he would be met with retribution. The universe was mysterious, and although Lu Yin did not believe in retribution, he still felt apologetic. This was also a type of retribution.
Although he did not want to rob Charon of his wealth, that did not mean that Charon was useless. Charon was one of Astral-6's strongest powerhouses and the Dao of Purgatory's Area Master. He was on the same level as Frankfurt, so he had a ready-made backer. Lu Yin recalled Charon's experiences, and his lips curled up into a strange smile. This guy was definitely a genius, but it was a pity that he was emotionally miserable. However, he was just right for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin took out dozens of letters from the corner of his cosmic ring and blinked. "Charon, don't blame me. I don't want to do this either, but there's no other way. You'll have to suffer for a while."
Just as he finished speaking, a pulling force appeared, and Lu Yin closed his eyes and reappeared in the dark space. He then traversed an unknown distance and returned to King Zishan's palace. When he opened his eyes again, he immediately took out a piece of paper and began writing.
At the same time, in the distant Timor Weave, Charon crawled up from the ground and rubbed his head. What was going on?
Why was he lying on the ground, and his memories seemed to have disappeared? Suddenly, Charon's pupils shrank and his face went pale. There were dozens of letters on the ground, and they caused his mind to rumble. His secret had been discovered.
Charon could die, but there were some secrets that could never be discovered. However, the letters on the ground clearly told him that someone had mercilessly scanned through his secrets.
Charon trembled as he put the letters away, his entire body cold. Who could it be?
Who could have knocked him out without a sound? This was his most secret training room, and he hadn't told anyone else about it. Who could it be?
At that moment, a string of numbers appeared in front of Charon's eyes. It was the number of his gadget, and Charon's expression changed. This was left behind by that person. Did they want him to contact them?
Charon opened his gadget and hesitated.
In King Zishan's palace, Lu Yin checked his cosmic ring and was saddened to find that he only had a little more than five hundred star crystals left. He had used up two hundred thousand in one go, which was too terrifying. This was definitely a huge money-grubber, but he didn't regret it. If he could fuse with Charon, it would have been worth it even if he had to spend another two hundred thousand star crystals. Without those two hundred thousand star crystals, he wouldn't have been able to reach the Timor Weave.
Six Points had given him a huge surprise, but at the same time, it had also made him a pauper. Lu Yin felt both pain and joy.
It was time to make some money. The commotion caused by Xi Yue's incident had gradually died down, and there were no more spendthrifts knocking on his door. He had to find another reason. Just as he was thinking about how to scam someone, his gadget suddenly rang. His lips curled up as he tapped it open. A screen appeared in front of him, and Charon's bloodshot eyes appeared.
Charon was stunned when he saw Lu Yin. He had thought that the person who had plotted against him was a space-exploring powerhouse, but it was a young man who looked to be around twenty years old. It was impossible for someone of that age to plot against him, "Who are you?"
Lu Yin smiled, "You must be the Charon that my uncle was talking about."
Uncle?
Charon's eyes widened, and his expression turned ferocious. At the same time, there was a trace of fear, "Where is your uncle?
I want to see him. "
Lu Yin shrugged, "Sorry, my uncle has something to do, so he won't see you. However, he did tell me a few things about you. How interesting, haha."
Charon's body turned cold again, and he stared at Lu Yin, "Who are you?
What do you know?
What do you want? "
