Deng Pu put away the box and looked up at Ku Wei. His gaze turned cold. "Clown." He then leaped out of the swamp and quickly headed in a certain direction as if he was very confident.
Everyone had their own methods of searching for sourceboxes. Although Ku Wei's method was a little strange, it was still effective. Half a day later, he managed to rob a Lockbreaker and really obtained a sourcebox. He excitedly swapped the fake one out and raised the real one above his head. He even opened the box for others to see, as he was afraid that no one would know that there really was a sourcebox here.
This guy was just short of raising a loudspeaker and shouting, "Come and rob me!"
Lu Yin was eager to try and rob the sourcebox. If he didn't, then he would be letting down Ku Wei's annoying face.
Just as Lu Yin was about to make a move, a giant python soared up from below and bit at Ku Wei. The Serpent Queen was standing on the python's back, and they both moved to plunder star energy.
Ku Wei was excited. Seeing the giant python open its mouth to bite him, he slowly raised his index finger. "One Finger Tap."
There was a whoosh, and the python paused in midair. Fresh blood flowed down its back and dyed the sky red. The Serpent Queen was shocked, and she hurriedly dragged the python away. Ku Wei grinned. "Don't run, little sister. Hand over the sourcebox to Brother Wei."
No one knew what Ku Wei had done, including Saul and the others in the Hall of Insight. They could not tell what battle technique Ku Wei had used, but it had been able to instantly injure the ancient, multicolored snake.
Lu Yin looked at Ku Wei solemnly. In that instant, this person had condensed a terrifying amount of rune lines at his fingertips, and they had not dissipated at all. His strength was comparable to a Hunter's, and the snake and woman were only Cruisers, so they had been defeated upon contact.
This was the result of Lu Yin's rune lines. Lu Yin knew that this person's finger attack was not as simple as it seemed. It had the same unfathomable strength as his Dream Finger. This person was very powerful.
The Serpent Queen's face paled as she dragged the python away in Lu Yin's direction. She looked back and met Ku Wei's gaze, and she saw the ridicule in his eyes.
The Serpent Queen's scalp went numb. What kind of freak was this? He was just an Explorer, but he had been able to render her powerless. How could an Explorer have such strength? Could this person be the Lu Yin that had been rumored to be Lu Yin? If it was really him, then things would be troublesome.
"Big Sister, Brother Wei wants you to stay!" Ku Wei shouted. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and the star energy in the sky and on the ground. This was a forcefield.
The Serpent Queen was astonished, as Lu Yin had actually comprehended a forcefield. Without the support of any star energy, she could only drag the python along as she plummeted straight down, landing right above Lu Yin.
Lu Yin watched as a huge shadow loomed over him, and he dodged to the side.
An explosion sounded out as the giant python and Serpent Queen crashed to the ground. The giant python howled as it looked at Ku Wei with its massive eyes filled with fear.
Ku Wei stood in midair and looked down at Serpent Queen. "Hand it over, and Brother Wei won't hit you anymore."
....................................................................
Ku Wei smiled, as his method had worked. He now had two sourceboxes. He flew towards the box and stored it away. He no longer looked at the Serpent Queen, but instead at a nearby man. "Bro, since we've met, it must be fate. Show Brother Wei your cosmic ring."
. Lu Yin raised a brow and looked at Ku Wei. "I have a sourcebox."
Ku Wei's eyes lit up. "Hahaha, you're so lucky. Brother Wei won't hit you. Hand over the sourcebox."
The Serpent Queen looked at Lu Yin sympathetically.
In the outside world, countless people looked at Lu Yin sympathetically, as this guy was really unlucky.
Within the Hall of Insight, Mr. Jun shook his head. "A good Lockbreaker Competition has turned into a battle."
"Lockbreakers have astonishing power levels among their peers. Without enough power, how can they obtain status? You're too narrow-minded," Fiend Li lectured.
Mr. Jun hurriedly agreed.
Saul nonchalantly looked down below. Regardless of whether it was Serpent Queen or Ku Wei, both of them were strong, but they were no threat to Deng Pu. These people were not good at lockbreaking, and the Lockbreaker Competition ultimately tested one's lockbreaking ability. The more one tried to steal, the more unlucky one would be if they were unable to lockbreak.
Felynn looked down with a strange expression. Lu Yin was being snatched away. Was Ku Wei lucky?
He could be considered lucky.
Under countless gazes, Lu Yin spun his cosmic ring and smiled at Ku Wei. "If you want it, come and get it yourself."
The Serpent Queen was astonished. Was this guy planning to resist?
He was just an Explorer, and he seemed unfamiliar to her.
Ku Wei's lips curled up. "Looks like you're quite confident. Alright, Brother Wei will take it himself. Don't blame Brother Wei for not holding back." He then tapped his foot and disappeared. In that instant, all of the star energy in the void condensed into an enormous pressure that pressed down on Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes trembled, and his forcefield erupted. The void trembled with a boom, and the Serpent Queen felt a gust of wind blow past her. The star energy in the air was scattered, and Ku Wei's forcefield collapsed.
Ku Wei reappeared and looked at Lu Yin in shock. He had misjudged Lu Yin, as this person was an expert. However, the result would be the same. Ku Wei did not care about the collapse of his forcefield and tapped out with a finger. "Finger Tap."
Lu Yin's expression instantly changed. The appearance of Finger Tap made him feel as if everything around him was rapidly being consumed, including his own physical body. It felt as if all of his energy was being devoured, and his entire being became weak and powerless. The sky and earth were no longer their original colors; they were now grey. The entire world had been frozen by this finger. What was even more terrifying was that Lu Yin's mind was calm and peaceful, and he did not have any thoughts of resisting.
This was a battle technique that could change everything, and it could even change an opponent's mentality.
Lu Yin had experienced countless battles since he started cultivating, and he had seen many battle techniques. He had even experienced the Neohuman Alliance's Corpse King Transformation, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange and terrifying battle technique. It could actually change an opponent's mentality, which was beyond the scope of a normal battle technique.
At this moment, any thoughts of resisting quickly disappeared. He watched as the finger approached. If he had been an ordinary cultivator, he would have been heavily injured by this attack, just like the Serpent Queen had been. However, Lu Yin's spiritual force far surpassed that of an ordinary person, and the effects of his recitation of the Stonewall Scriptures were revealed. He used the last bit of consciousness he had to use his Fatesand to protect himself.
There was a whoosh, and the void distorted as a gale swept out in all directions. Ku Wei's finger struck the Fatesand on Lu Yin's chest, and the shockwaves from the collision spread out in all directions with the two at the center, causing the ground to rapidly crack.
Ku Wei was shocked. "Fatesand?"
Lu Yin's eyes sobered up, and he grabbed Ku Wei's arm. His strength exploded as he lifted Ku Wei into the air and slammed him into the ground. Suddenly, a phantom finger appeared in the sky. It was still the Finger Zen, but this was a forcefield phantom that pressed down on Lu Yin from above. Lu Yin had no choice but to throw Ku Wei aside and leap up to avoid the attack.
The mountain range that Ku Wei had been standing on was pierced through by the finger, and a huge crack spread out along the mountain's surface.
Ku Wei finally regained control of his body in midair, and he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. Where had this freak come from? He had actually been able to break free from the Finger Zen's control. Not only did he have Fatesand, but he also had such a terrifying strength. Ku Wei looked at his right arm and saw that five finger marks were clearly visible. His bones had almost been crushed; he was a beast in human form.
Lu Yin stood still and looked at Ku Wei. They were both Explorers, and this person's strength was definitely comparable to the top twelve of the Top 100 Rankings. However, Lu Yin had seen images of the top fifteen of the Top 100 Rankings, and this person was not one of them. Could this person be a disguise as well?
It was normal for someone to be able to comprehend a forcefield and not be discovered while disguising themselves. Who could this person be?
The two had only fought for an instant, and countless people had thought that the two of them had simply separated after one had attacked and the other had defended. It did not seem like anything special, but only those who understood the hardness of the mountain range knew how terrifying the power of that exchange had been. The entire mountain had cracked, which was something that even a Cruiser would find difficult to accomplish.
The Serpent Queen looked at Lu Yin in astonishment. She had not expected him to be yet another freak, and he was also an Explorer. Were Explorers this terrifying?
The universe's great changes had indeed given birth to some terrifying geniuses, but those geniuses had long since become famous throughout the universe. Where had these two people come from?
The Hall of Insight fell silent. An Explorer with such power level was definitely not an ordinary person.
Felynn was astonished, as that person was actually able to fight evenly with Lu Yin. Could he be one of the top experts of the Top 100 Rankings who had been left behind in the Outerverse?
Ku Wei rubbed his arm and grimaced. "Bro, not bad."
Lu Yin smiled. "You're not bad yourself."
"Ha, there aren't many people who can withstand one of Brother Wei's attacks, and you're even in the same realm as him. What's your name?
I'm Ku Wei, "Ku Wei replied.
"Ku Wei?
Ku?
Seventh Bro, one of the surnames in the Seven Courts is Ku! "the monkey exclaimed.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "You can just call me Seventh Bro."
Ku Wei's lips curled up. "What? You don't dare to reveal your name?"
Lu Yin replied meaningfully, "You actually dare to reveal your name."
Ku Wei raised his brows and then laughed. "It's just a name. There are many strange names in the universe. Alright, since I can't steal you, I'll take my leave. I wish you an enjoyable competition." He then left.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. "Are you sure that the Seven Courts has a Ku surname?"
The monkey solemnly replied, "I'm sure. The Seven Courts has seven surnames, and one of them is Ku. I've seen it in a powerhouse's autobiography and told you about it before."
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. Was this person from the Seven Courts?
If he was, then why had he dared to walk out so openly and even announce his name? But if he wasn't, then it was quite impossible. Aside from the Three Dark Hands, Lu Yin could not think of anyone else who could have nurtured such a terrifying Explorer. The Top 100 Rankings did not include the Three Dark Hands, so it was highly likely that this person was from the Ku family.
"This guy is really ambitious. From the Hall of Honor's perspective, even if he isn't from the Seven Courts' Ku family, anyone with the surname Ku should be exterminated. If you hadn't self-detonated your futon, then Shenwu Continent would have been gone. This is how the Hall of Honor does things. This guy is really something," the monkey muttered.
Lu Yin nodded in agreement. At this moment, Ku Wei was fishing with the box in his hand again.
Hiss!
In the distance, the python looked at Lu Yin with a very human-like expression.
The Serpent Queen stood up and nodded at Lu Yin before preparing to leave.
Lu Yin coughed. "Do you have any more sourceboxes?"
