Wang Wen was also one of the few people in Ironblood Weave who could meet Elder Lohar of the Hall of Honor.
Wang Wen was someone that the astral beasts had to kill. The stronger the Astral Beast Domain's desire to kill him, the stronger Ironblood Weave's protection of him would be. General Fei had once said that he could die, but Wang Wen could not.
"Those Lockbreakers relied on their privileges and were unwilling to come. I've already sent out a warning. If they refuse to accept the summons, they will be punished as traitors," Wang Wen said. Punishing the Lockbreaker Society, an organization with special privileges, sounded as if it was as simple as punishing a normal person.
General Fei spoke up. "The Lockbreaker Society is also one of the subordinate organizations of the Hall of Honor, and they've used this status to refuse Ironblood Weave's summons many times. Now that the Innerverse and Outerverse have been separated, no one will stand up for them. If they dare to refuse the summons again, then we'll have to ask Elder Lohar to step in."
Wang Wen nodded. "That's right. The higher one's status, the more they cherish their lives." As he spoke, he flipped through the Ironblood Points rankings, and his eyes flickered. No matter what he did, he was always thinking, and his thoughts often allowed him to predict the enemy's movements. This was something that the Astral Beast Domain had experienced the most.
Regardless of the level of the experts who had come to reinforce Ironblood Weave, they were all pawns in Wang Wen's eyes. They were pawns used to deal with the Astral Beast Domain, and Nightqueen Qiuyu and the others were no exception.
"This Lu Yin is very interesting. He killed three Enlighters. What a pity," Wang Wen said with interest. As long as it was a human, no matter how scheming they were, they were all chess pieces that could be used to resist the astral beasts' invasion. He felt pity for the three Enlighters who had been killed.
General Fei's gaze was calm. "He's just relying on external items. Power vessels will run out one day."
"But he's also an unequaled Limiteer. Interesting. He's from the Outerverse, and his surname is Lu," Wang Wen muttered to himself, his voice growing softer and softer until even General Fei could not hear him.
Lu Yin spent two days peacefully in Seasons Fort. These two days were peaceful, and there were no battles. He and the Great Yu Empire's reinforcements were arranged to stay on a continent not too far from the space station that they had arrived at.
The fort's management was not that strict, and as long as there were no battles, he could move around as he pleased. as long as he did not leave his own defensive zone.
Because they were close to the space, Lu Yin could see reinforcements from different different weaves and powers arrive....... and today, he saw a familiar face to face.
Back in the Astral Combat Academy, Lu Yin had been banned by the Blaze Realm. He had used his die's six pips to enter Charon's body and learn his secrets. He had used Charon's reputation to protect himself, but that hadn't been for long. He had been able to establish himself in the trial zones with his own strength.
Charon was a genius from the Timor Weave, and he had been a five star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker back in the Astral Combat Academy. He was also the Area Master of Whitebones Gorge in the Dao of Purgatory. Now that he had broken through to become an Explorer, he should have become a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker as well.
Timor Weave was very far away from Ironblood Weave, and logically speaking, it should have been isolated by a lot of energy. Thus, Timor Weave should not have been able to send reinforcements to Ironblood Weave. Charon's appearance surprised Lu Yin, and he happily greeted him.
Charon stared at Lu Yin as if he had seen a ghost. His expression was rather varied, ranging from sullen, angry, shocked, speechless, envious, and so on. In short, Lu Yin had seen the extreme range of human emotions.
"What? You're not happy to see an old friend?" Lu Yin teased.
You're so happy that you want to die, Charon cursed under his breath. There were only three people in the universe who knew his secret. One was himself, and the other was this bastard in front of him. The only reason this bastard knew was because of his master, who was even more of a bastard. If possible, Charon would never want to meet this bastard again.
Now that they had met, Charon had no other choice. He quickly went through Lu Yin's battle records and smiled. "So it's Brother Lu. What a coincidence."
"Seventh Bro, this guy's smile is so fake," the monkey said in a strange tone.
Lu Yin could tell that no one would be happy to face someone who knew their secrets. However, he was very happy, as he really wanted to discuss the path of lockbreaking with Charon. There didn't seem to be a single Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker in all of Seasons Fort, which made Lu Yin feel rather helpless. Lockbreakers cherished their lives, and they did not come to the battlefield.
Charon had already become an Explorer, so logically speaking, he should have become a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker.
"Brother Charon, are you tired?
You don't look right. "Lu Yin was concerned.
Charon laughed dryly. "I'm a little tired. Um, Brother Lu, I'm going to rest for a bit. We'll talk later."
Lu Yin hurriedly pulled Charon back. "Let me ask you a question."
Charon was puzzled.
Lu Yin leaned over. "Your sister-in-law." He only managed to say three words before Charon turned around and left, his face dark.
Lu Yin hurriedly shouted, "I'm not done yet! Continue!" Charon hurriedly turned back to block Lu Yin. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want?"
"Nothing much. I'm just concerned about your love life. After all, we're classmates, and I'm also a member of the Council of Astral Academy. I have some authority over the Astral Combat Academy students." Lu Yin smiled.
Charon angrily growled, "I've already graduated."
"So you want to forget your roots?"
"It has nothing to do with that. I've already graduated, and the Council of Astral Academy can't control me."
"I'm not controlling you, I'm just concerned about you. Don't get it wrong."
"Lu Yin, don't go overboard! I've already become an Explorer!" Charon's eyes were red, and his veins were bulging.
Lu Yin's lips curled up, and he raised his hand and clenched his fist. "You're threatening me."
Charon's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that this person could even kill a Cruiser. There were even rumors recently that this person had killed an Enlighter, but Charon did not believe them. This bastard definitely had some tricks up his sleeves, and he could not beat him.
Charon was terrified, and he helplessly asked, "Lu Yin, what do you want?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Nothing much. I've been a little confused about lockbreaking recently, and I want to discuss it with you."
Charon helplessly sighed. "Alright, I'll tell you everything I know about lockbreaking, but you can't threaten me with that secret in the future."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Deal."
That night, Lu Yin and Charon drank and chatted merrily, or at least that was what he thought. However, from Charon's expression, he could tell that he was not very happy.
Charon was indeed a genius Lockbreaker, and Lu Yin was confident that he could see things more clearly than any other Lockbreaker. However, he was still lacking in lockbreaking experience, and he needed to make up for that.
Unlike Lu Yin, Charon did not become a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker as soon as he broke through to the Explorer realm. It was not that easy to become a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, and with the Innerverse and Outerverse being separated, there were very few Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers in the Outerverse. Thus, Charon was still a five star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker.
"Are you confident that you can patch up the holes in the danger zones of those sourceboxes?" Lu Yin asked.
Across from him, Charon rolled his eyes. "Dream on. If I had that ability, I would have been transferred to Ironblood Fort a long time ago. Every fort has its own danger zones, but unfortunately, it's useless. Wang Wen has been trying to find a way to mediate for Lockbreakers to patch up the holes in Ironblood Fort, but he hasn't been successful."
"Wang Wen?"
Lu Yin felt that the name sounded familiar, and he checked the rankings. It was the Enlighter ranked third in Ironblood Points. Hold on! Lu Yin's eyes went wide. This person was not an Enlighter, but a Limiteer.
"You don't know Wang Wen?" Charon was surprised.
Lu Yin looked at Wang Wen's name on the rankings in disbelief. How could a Limiteer suppress so many Enlighters and become third on the rankings?
"Tell me more about this person," Lu Yin said.
Just as Charon was about to speak, the heavens trembled, and a loud alarm sounded.
Lu Yin's expression changed. "War is coming."
In less than three days, another war had arrived. The veterans in the fort were already used to it, and Lu Yin had experienced the border warfront in the Erudite Flowzone, so he quickly adapted to it. Charon was the same, as he had also gone to the border warfront to gain experience.
The Astral Combat Academy had reached a cooperation agreement with the border warfront, and every once in a while, students would be sent out to gain experience. This was all thanks to Lu Yin and the others' success.
In outer space, many sourceboxes descended, and batches of Void Wanderers appeared. They were swept away by countless technological weapons, and a rain of blood began to fall from the sky.
Not too far away from Lu Yin and Charon, a Void Wanderer tore open a crack while the two were not paying attention, and a large number of astral beasts appeared.
Invisible ripples spread out from Charon's body, and he was abnormally powerful. This was a domain, and Lu Yin was shocked. Charon's domain was much stronger than his own. The Revealing Sword appeared in Charon's hand, and with a single slash, the power of his domain swept out and cut down a group of Limiteers in front of him, including two Explorer realm astral beasts.
Charon looked at Lu Yin proudly, as he was very confident in his attack.
Lu Yin looked at him with admiration, but this look disgusted Charon, as it was the look of a senior looking at a junior. He said, "Brother Lu, show me some of your skills. I've heard that you've even killed an Enlighter."
As soon as he spoke, an astral beast descended from the sky. Its mountain-like body pressed down, and this pressure was enough to crush the entire continent. Charon's face changed. "Cruiser, run!"
Astral beasts were not humans, and astral beasts had stronger defenses. Even if Charon could challenge human Cruisers, he did not have much confidence in facing an astral beast.
Lu Yin looked up. "Not bad."
Charon was confused. "Cannonball?"
Lu Yin's face turned solemn, and he soared into the sky. He faced the astral beast, raised both hands, and fiercely punched out.
Charon's mouth fell open. Was this guy crazy? He was actually trying to compete with an astral beast?
Boom!
The void trembled and almost distorted as a powerful shockwave crushed the ground. Charon felt his breathing become sluggish as his entire body was pressed into the ground. It wasn't just him, as a large area of the continent was also crushed.
When Charon looked up, he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life. Lu Yin had actually dragged down a Cruiser realm astral beast and then smashed it into the horde of astral beasts like a cannonball.
Lu Yin's words echoed in Charon's mind. "Not bad." "Not bad."
So that's what he meant. Was this guy even human?
How could a human be so strong?
Not even a Hunter could do that!
