Tong Mi 'er coldly glanced at the crowd. "Those who haven't reached Four Stars are not qualified to participate."
Everyone felt awkward when they heard this. It was not easy to reach Four Stars, especially for the younger generation. Otherwise, Tong Mi 'er would not have been known as a genius Lockbreaker. Of all the young Lockbreakers present, only Dao Bo and Xi Qi had reached Four Stars. The rest of them did not even have a single Four Stars Lockbreaker, and Liu Ji was only Three Stars.
In the Outerverse, although Tong Mi 'er's reputation could not compare to Charon's, who was a genius five star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker, he was not far behind. This was because many people automatically categorized the students of the Astral Combat Academy as being from the Innerverse.
"Seventh Bro, this kid is pretty arrogant. With your lockbreaking ability, aside from Dao Bo, no one here can compare to you, especially when it comes to comprehending the Secret Sidestep. No one in the Innerverse can compare to you," the monkey grumbled.
Lu Yin silenced the monkey and quietly watched as Tong Mi 'er entered the thousand-meter radius of the tree-shaped sourcebox. He then activated his Sirius Art and summoned the Giant Emperor's third eye.
When Lu Yin used his domain to support his Sirius Art and the Giant Emperor's third eye to look at the tree-shaped sourcebox, the originally ordinary land began to undergo many strange changes. The star energy seemed to have a life of its own as it expanded outwards at a rather slow speed. Within that area, a strange flow of energy would occasionally sweep past.
Lu Yin's eyes trembled. What was that?
The flow of energy seemed to have a life of its own, like a giant python that lived within the star energy.
Out of everyone present, Lu Yin knew that he was the only one who could see this scene. However, every Lockbreaker had their own methods, and while they might not be able to see as clearly as Lu Yin, with their control of star energy, they could easily sense the existence of the flow of energy.
Tong Mi 'er was one such Lockbreaker. He could not see the flow of energy, but he had his domain, which allowed him to narrowly avoid it multiple times. However, in Lu Yin's eyes, the closer he got to the tree-shaped sourcebox, the more dangerous it became. The closer he got to the sourcebox, the faster the flow became.
"It's dangerous," Lu Yin muttered.
To the side, Liu Ji, Yue Xianzi, Zhao Ran, and the rest all looked at him in astonishment. All they saw was Tong Mi 'er steadily approaching the tree-shaped sourcebox, but there was no danger.
Only Dao Bo furrowed his brows. Within his domain, he could feel the changes in the star energy, and they were becoming more frequent.
Suddenly, Tong Mi 'er was flipped over by a powerful force. This force came from above, and it came from Master Jun. Before Tong Mi' er could react, the changes in the surrounding star energy intensified, and the external force caused a tremor. Master Jun casually tossed Tong Mi 'er out of the lockbreaking range. "Fortunately, I made it in time."
Tong Mi'er was confused.
Dao Bo said calmly, "Thank Mr. Jun. If it wasn't for him, you would have ended up like those people on the ground."
Tong Mi'er looked at the dried corpse on the ground. He still did not understand, but he was not stupid. He quickly got up and thanked Mr. Jun.
Master Jun didn't seem to mind, as he continued to look at the tree-shaped sourcebox. None of the younger Limiteers would be able to unlock it unless one of those people came.
"Brother Lu, are you sure you don't want to try?" Dao Bo asked.
Lu Yin shrugged. "I can't unlock it."
"If you and I work together, we can give it a try," said Dao Bo.
"Senior, why are you so sure that I have the ability to join forces with you?
I'm only a two star Discerning Elementary student, and the difference between me and your five star Discerning Elementary student is too great. "
Dao Bo smiled. "Junior's ability can't be judged by a normal person's standards. I've seen your domain before, and you were able to fuse it with the murderous aura of the battlefield to resist Tian Hou's power. You're not bad at using your domain. Besides …" His gaze then landed on Lu Yin's hand. "If I'm not wrong, that's a lockbreaking tool."
Liu Ji looked at Lu Yin in shock. He has a lockbreaking tool?
Yue Xianzi was just as shocked. Even if she wasn't a Lockbreaker, she had heard of lockbreaking tools before. They were very important and precious items.
Lu Yin nodded and put away the Giant Emperor's third eye. "Let's wait a little longer. The two of us aren't that confident."
Dao Bo nodded. "That's true. There should be more experts coming. I hope they'll come."
"Them?" Lu Yin was curious.
Dao Bo's gaze trembled. "The Lockbreaker Society's Distinguished Five."
"Distinguished Five?" Lu Yin was confused.
Liu Ji explained, "The Lockbreaker Society's five most outstanding young Lockbreakers. They're known as the Distinguished Five, and they're all Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers."
Lu Yin nodded. It was indeed impressive for someone of the younger generation to reach the Perceptive Intermediate Level. If he didn't have the Sirius Art, he definitely wouldn't have been able to reach his current level. Charon's talent was still very far from reaching the Perceptive Intermediate Level, and it wasn't as simple as reaching the One Star level.
The Perceptive Intermediate Level represented the cultivation realm of an Explorer, and the Distinguished Five meant that they were all Explorers of the younger generation. With their lockbreaking abilities, they should all be in the Top 100 Rankings.
Over the next two days, a few more people attempted to break through, and one of them was only a step away from the Perceptive Intermediate Level. According to Dao Bo, this person's lockbreaking abilities were even more proficient than theirs. However, that person still failed. Fortunately, Mr. Jun had saved him in time. Of course, that person was much older than Dao Bo, Lu Yin, and the rest, and was almost out of the younger generation.
More and more experts from the Vastdearth Sect and other powers from the surrounding weaves gathered here.
Logically speaking, the Savage Ape Planet belonged to the Vastdearth Weave, and the items on it should belong to the Vastdearth Sect. However, no one in the universe acknowledged this fact, and even the Vastdearth Sect didn't dare to do so. To the Lockbreaker Society, destroying the Vastdearth Sect wasn't difficult.
They didn't gather here to do anything, and they just wanted to buy as many items as they could, even if the chances of doing so were slim.
Lu Yin, Yue Xianzi, Zhao Ran, and a few others sat in a depression on Nine Peaks Mountain. Over the past few days, Lu Yin had seen many lockbreakers, but they were all very ordinary and relied on their perception of star energy. He really wanted to see how Dao Bo would lockbreak, but unfortunately, that person didn't make a move.
Xi Qi stayed far away, not daring to approach the group. That fish's mouth was too venomous, and the moment it appeared, it would taunt everyone. Even Mr. Jun couldn't avoid it.
"That sister is so pitiful," Zhao Ran whispered as she looked at Xi Qi, who was all alone in the distance.
Yue Xianzi looked over. "There's nothing she can do. That fish is destined to make her lonely."
"Seventh Bro, let me give you a suggestion," the monkey suddenly spoke up.
Lu Yin lay down on the mountain wall and casually asked, "Go ahead."
"Stew that fish. It should taste pretty good," the monkey said fiercely.
Lu Yin's eyes suddenly opened, and his gaze flickered. "Monkey, you don't seem to like that fish very much."
"Of course, Seventh Bro! It scolded you, and scolding you is scolding me. I'm definitely going to stew it!"
Lu Yin frowned, as he recalled that the fish had mentioned that there was a familiar aura on his body. He hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but after some thought, could it be the monkey?
Besides the monkey, Lu Yin didn't have anything else on him. Perhaps it was because of his cultivation technique, but that fish had been lockbroken in the Outerverse, which was too far away from the Sirius Sect, so that shouldn't be the case. Furthermore, the monkey's attitude towards the fish had been very poor, so it couldn't be that they actually knew each other.
That shouldn't be possible, as that fish had been lockbroken, which meant that it had been alive for countless years. The monkey was still very young.
Lu Yin thought about this as he casually looked at the ground. He had unknowingly become sleepy, and the sky had already turned completely dark. He didn't think that anyone would make a move today.
Just as Lu Yin was silently reciting the Stonewall Scriptures, he sensed an unfamiliar aura in his domain that seemed to have suddenly appeared. He suddenly opened his eyes and slammed a palm towards Yue Xianzi.
No one had expected Lu Yin to suddenly attack Yue Xianzi. His actions were too sudden, and Yue Xianzi couldn't even react in time. She could only watch as Lu Yin's palm approached her, and she could even see the lines on his palm. However, this palm wasn't aimed at Yue Xianzi, but rather behind her.
At the same time, a shockwave rippled through the air, causing the void to tremble. Nine Peaks Mountain trembled imperceptibly, and countless people were startled awake as they looked in Lu Yin's direction.
Yue Xianzi was pushed back by the unstoppable shockwave, and she retreated more than ten steps. When she looked over, she saw that a man had appeared behind her at some point, and his elbow had blocked Lu Yin's palm. He was astonished. "What a fierce palm." The man clenched his fist, causing the veins on his elbow to bulge as he viciously swung it at Lu Yin. Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he immediately countered with Twenty Stacks.
There was a loud boom as the ground split open, and the two of them crashed into the crater at the same time. In just an instant, an arc-shaped shockwave swept through the entire Nine Peaks Mountain, and even Mr. Jun.
Lu Yin's right palm hurt, and he borrowed the man's strength to retreat while remaining vigilant.
The man retracted his elbow and stared at Lu Yin in shock. He then leapt up and appeared outside the crater.
Lu Yin leapt out at the same time, and the two stood facing each other.
Many people on Nine Peaks Mountain looked at this scene, not understanding what had just happened.
"Who are you?"
Lu Yin asked in a low voice. If not for his domain, he wouldn't have been able to sense that this person was so close to Yue Xianzi.
The man rubbed his elbow. "Little brother, your palm strength is quite fierce. How old are you to be able to display such a berserk Overlaying Stacks?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "No matter how fierce my palm strength is, it won't harm you at all."
The man laughed. "Harm me?
Wait until you become an Explorer. Even the universe's recognized true Ten Arbiters candidates can't harm me as a Limiteer. "
"Who exactly are you?" Lu Yin was puzzled. This person wasn't very old, but he was terrifyingly strong.
"Casanova?" Liu Ji exclaimed.
Soon after, many people seemed to recognize this man, and the words "Casanova" rang out one after another.
Dao Bo appeared not too far from Lu Yin and solemnly said, "It's a misunderstanding, Brother Lu. He's one of the Distinguished Five, Casanova. He means no harm."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Casanova?
What's his name? "
Casanova chuckled. "Casanova is Casanova. What name do I have? My surname is Casanova and my given name is Saint."
Lu Yin was stunned. There was such a name?
"Hey, what were you trying to do?" Yue Xianzi reacted and glared at Casanova.
Casanova's eyes lit up when he saw Yue Xianzi, and his body suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was right in front of her and had pulled out a beautiful flower from nowhere. He handed it to her. "Beautiful lady, the moon is bright because of you tonight. Would this one be lucky enough to invite you to admire the moon?
Or perhaps find a place to discuss life? "
Yue Xianzi's expression turned ugly, and she clenched her fists.
