Only Xia Shenguang was left standing at the center of the lake in disbelief. Off in the distance, Qing Feng was completely unharmed.
Qing Feng was stunned as well, and he looked at himself.
He was fine? He looked at Lu Yin, who was beside the lake. This sourcebox array had actually been useful, and it had blocked Xia Shenguang's attack.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. What a joke! How could the channeling diagram be useless? Furthermore, it had been set up by Lu Yin with his current cultivation. It looked weak, but even if Xia Shenfei had become an Envoy, he might not have been able to break through it.
None of the students from Yi Xian Academy had been able to break through it.
"Mister Haoyu, this … this sourcebox array blocked Xia Shenguang's attack?"
Nong Siniang asked.
All of the students stared at Lu Yin in shock.
Lu Yin smiled. "His attack wasn't powerful enough. After all, it was a sourcebox array."
Nong Siniang was excited. "I knew that Mister wasn't trying to escape. Xia Shenguang couldn't have broken through Mister's sourcebox array."
Many of the girls beside her agreed, and Lu Yin's shattered image in their hearts grew even stronger.
The stuttering fatty was also excited. "Too, too, too amazing, too amazing!"
Xia Shenguang stared at Lu Yin, as he was well aware of the power of that attack. The sourcebox array had actually been able to block it, which meant that it was extraordinary.
If that was the case, then Xia Shenguang would have to use his full strength if he wanted to finish off Qing Feng within ten moves.
Lu Yin was looking forward to Xia Shenguang using the Divine Martial Transformation. Xia Shenfei had used it before, and it had been quite powerful. Back then, Lu Yin had been most concerned about Xia Shenfei's innate gift, but now, Xia Shenguang's strength was far inferior to Xia Shenfei's.
Xia Shenguang raised his blade and charged at Qing Feng. He had already used three moves, and there were still seven left.
Qing Feng was on high alert as the Profound Water Diagram rose from the lake. This was Qing Chen's battle technique, but it was useless against Xia Shenguang.
Xia Shenguang stared at Qing Feng and immediately used a secret technique — Reverse. This technique could reverse an enemy's injuries, even if the enemy's strength had increased. It was a rather terrifying technique.
Qing Feng's strength had indeed been reversed. He had wanted to use Spatial Water to avoid the attack, but he had failed.
However, Xia Shenguang's attack had not been able to break through the sourcebox array, and it had only managed to send Qing Feng flying.
Xia Shenguang rushed over once again. He raised his blade and slashed out. This time, a huge shadow of a blade appeared behind him. This was visualization.
Nong Siniang's eyes widened. Originally, only the Lu family knew how to visualize, but after the Lu family was exiled, the Four Way Balance stole this power.
As soon as Xia Shenguang's visualization came out, Qing Feng's warning bells rang in his head. Xia Shenguang's next strike was so terrifying that he had no confidence in blocking it.
Lu Yin remained unperturbed. So what if it was visualization? His strength had increased, but he still couldn't break through the upper limit of the diagram's power.
"Bang!" The lake churned. The sharp saber light swept out in all directions, heading for the side of the lake.
Mr. Zheng leaped out and blocked the blade radiance. He waved his hand to disperse the lake water and looked at the center.
There, Xia Shenguang's face was filled with astonishment once again. He stared at the sourcebox array around Qing Feng's body in disbelief. It looked so weak, but it had blocked Xia Shenguang's attack.
"It looks like you won't be able to break through." Qing Feng was shocked. He had not expected Xia Shenguang's attack to be so useless. He had thought that it would at least be able to break through the sourcebox array, and he would be able to use the array's obstruction to dodge the attack. But now, it seemed like there was no need for that. There was no need for him to do anything. He could just stand there and let Xia Shenguang attack him.
Xia Shenguang turned to look at Lu Yin, his eyes filled with shock. "What's this sourcebox array called?"
Lu Yin smiled.
His smile was very humble. "I forgot."
Xia Shenguang's eyes went wide.
Mr. Zheng frowned. "Mr. Haoyu, what's going on?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Students sparring isn't a big deal. Why are you here, Mr. Zheng?"
Mr. Zheng said in a low voice, "That attack just now was not a simple sparring session."
Lu Yin laughed. "Then, Mr. Zheng, did you see anyone injured?"
Mr. Zheng paused, and he gave Lu Yin a deep look before looking back at Xia Shenguang. "You won't be able to break through the sourcebox array. There's no need for you to continue fighting."
Xia Shenguang gripped his blade tightly. "Impossible. There must be a way to break through."
On the other side, Wu Taibai arrived. "Shenguang, Mr. Zheng is right. You won't be able to break through that sourcebox array. There's no need for you to continue fighting."
Xia Shenguang and Wu Taibai looked at each other for a moment before looking back at Lu Yin. "I admit defeat."
Lu Yin smiled. "It was just a sparring session between students, so there's no need for Mr. Xia Shenguang to take it to heart. Students, this lesson has given you a good understanding of the uses of sourcebox arrays in battle. Those who still want to listen to my lessons, go back and write your reflections, then hand them in next class. We'll strive to bring you all to the academy's sourcebox array within a year and uncover the secrets of the Flamephoenix and Dark Phoenix."
"Yes, Mr. Haoyu." Nong Siniang was overjoyed. Such a handsome teacher was also so powerful.
"Yes, Mr. Haoyu."
"Yes, Mr. Haoyu."
…
One by one, the young girls responded excitedly, smiling happily as they chattered away.
Class ended, but Lu Yin could not leave. He was surrounded by students and could not leave at all. Even Mr. Zheng could not speak to him.
Wu Taibai apologized to Lu Yin from afar, but Lu Yin smiled and did not mind.
Xia Shenguang left, but the sourcebox array that had surrounded Qing Feng's body kept echoing in his mind.
Xia Shenguang had seen all sorts of sourcebox arrays and had experienced the battlefield on the other side, but the sourcebox array that Lu Yin had used on Qing Feng was something he had never seen before. He had to investigate what it was, or else it would be very difficult to break through.
Xia Shenguang knew that he had the strength to challenge Astral Envoys, and like Xia Shenfei, he had been able to break into the Astral Source Universe as an Enlighter. He was an absolute genius, and he was confident that he could fight against Lu Yin. However, this person's sourcebox array was somewhat unpredictable.
Just as Xia Shenguang was thinking about this, a man with a long sword on his back walked over with a cold expression and blocked Xia Shenguang's path.
Xia Shenguang stared at the man in shock and carefully sized him up. "Liu Que?"
It was Liu Que who blocked Xia Shenguang's path. "You're Xia Shenguang?"
"I heard that you were planning to challenge all the students of Yi Xian Academy. Why? Did you suddenly change your mind and join the academy?"
Xia Shenguang was puzzled.
Liu Que looked at him coldly. "Let's have a duel."
Xia Shenguang's eyes narrowed. He had heard many rumors about Liu Que, and he was quite fearful of him. A few days ago, Liu Que had easily defeated geniuses of the same generation as Xia Shenguang when he had first entered the academy. Although Xia Shenguang was arrogant and confident that he could rival the Fourth Young Ancestor, Liu Que was also considered a genius who could rival the Fourth Young Ancestor.
"Now is not the time," Xia Shenguang said.
Liu Que looked at Xia Shenguang's left arm, which had been torn apart by Qing Feng's Lei Ren. There was a scarlet wound there. "You're injured?
Who is it? "
Xia Shenguang did not want to speak, but his heart skipped a beat. "Have you heard of Mister Hao Yu?"
…
Beside the lake, Lu Yin finally managed to coax the students away. They all wanted to learn the sourcebox array that he had used on Qing Feng, but that was a sourcebox array, not a sourcebox. How could they learn it so easily?
Sometimes, Lu Yin was very grateful to the Trialmaster.
Tutor, this channeling diagram had been created by the Trialmaster, and it was comparable to an array from True Insight.
After the surrounding students dispersed, Qing Feng approached Lu Yin and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Mister Hao Yu."
Lu Yin helped him up. "Since you're calling me Mister, there's no need to be so polite. You performed well just now."
Qing Feng was excited. "If not for Mister, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend the Empty God's Realm's domain again. Facing Xia Shenguang today would have been a completely different situation."
Lu Yin smiled. "You're not bad. Senior Qingchen has taken in a good disciple."
"You know my master?"
Qing Feng was astonished.
Lu Yin replied, "I've heard of him. He's the Humble Middle Realm's Nine Gates Superintendent, and he's a very respectable senior."
Qing Feng happily replied, "When I see him again, I'll definitely mention Mister. Mister's lockbreaking skills are amazing, and I estimate that even those Savanna Formation Masters on the backlines might not be able to reach Mister's level of cultivation."
Lu Yin immediately became humble, even though he also felt the same way.
With his current theoretical attainments, he was comparable to a Realmyuan Formation Master, but he still had a long way to go before he could become an Origin Heavenly Master.
A Realmyuan Formation Master and an Origin Heavenly Master seemed to be only one step apart, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth. Although Lu Yin had never seen a Heavenly Master fight before, with their abilities, it might not be impossible for them to challenge a Half-Ancestor.
Lockbreakers' battles were full of mysteries.
At that moment, Lu Yin's gaze passed by Qing Feng and saw Liu Que walking over.
Liu Que also stared at Lu Yin, and his eyes lit up. "I've found you. You really are an instructor from Yi Xian Academy."
Lu Yin smiled. "Congratulations on entering the academy."
"I want to challenge you," Liu Que said bluntly.
Lu Yin was speechless. Today was full of challenges.
Qing Feng frowned. "Student, do you have something against Mister Hao Yu?"
Liu Que looked at Qing Feng in surprise. "Enlighter? Who are you?"
"Qing Feng."
Liu Que was indifferent. "So you're Superintendent Qingchen's disciple. You're not my opponent. Move aside."
Qing Feng stepped forward. "And who are you?"
Liu Que's expression suddenly changed, and he took a step forward. He passed by Qing Feng and looked at the empty ground. Was he gone?
Qing Feng was stunned, and he quickly turned to look at Liu Que. How had this person passed by?
How had he been so fast that Qing Feng couldn't even see him clearly?
Eh, where's Mister Hao Yu?
Liu Que's lips curled up. "Interesting. A sourcebox array?"
He then turned and left.
Only Qing Feng was left behind, along with the stuttering little fatty who was filled with curiosity. He had wanted to ask Mister Haoyu about lockbreaking for a long time, but after the other students had left, Qing Feng had come, and then Liu Que had come as well. Mister Haoyu had disappeared, and he stood by the lake with a blank expression. Everyone had left.
Lu Yin hurried back to the stone pillar to rest, as dealing with these students had been very tiring.
Not long after, Liu Que arrived at Lu Yin's stone pillar and immediately began to climb. However, halfway up, he disappeared and reappeared at the base of the pillar. He raised his brows. "A sourcebox array." He then took another step forward, his speed more than twice as fast as before. He directly broke through the Astral Source Universe and climbed up the stone pillar.
Atop the stone pillar, within the courtyard, Lu Yin's eyes flashed when he saw Liu Que arrive.
"Mister Hao Yu, please —" Before Liu Que could finish speaking, Lu Yin appeared in front of him. Under Liu Que's incredulous gaze, Lu Yin flicked a finger at Liu Que's head. There was a thump, and Liu Que was sent flying without any suspense. He didn't even have the ability to retaliate or dodge. Before he was sent flying, he only heard five words: "Look carefully before you try again."
