Chapter 145: The Lockbreaker Society (2/2)

Xia Luo’s eyes gleamed when he saw this symbol, as it was the Lockbreaker Society’s insignia!

Lockbreakers enjoyed many privileges in the universe, and the Lockbreaker Society had been formed to oversee the Lockbreakers. Its main purpose was to gather Lockbreakers together in order to test the limits of their skill, but everyone knew that another reason for its existence was to control the Lockbreakers, as there would be disastrous consequences if a Lockbreaker went rogue.

Many sealed ancient items could cause disasters, if they were recklessly unsealed by a Lockbreaker, it could lead to a catastrophe striking the universe. This could not be allowed to happen, and so the Lockbreaker Society received great support from various major forces which guaranteed its status and legitimacy.

A few days ago, the Trialmaster had sent out an examination request to the Lockbreaker Society on behalf of Xia Luo. He wanted to have Xia Luo join the society as he was clearly capable of doing so.

Xia Luo moved forward as the hatch of the spacecraft opened.

The first to disembark were a troop of cultivators. They were soldiers of the Lockbreaker Society, and they were all at least Melders, and some were even Limiteers. Behind them, a middle aged man in a grey robe walked out with a solemn expression. He immediately noticed Xia Luo as he slowly descended from the spaceship.

A beautiful girl, about Lu Yin’s age, followed behind the middle aged man. Her nose was turned up to the sky, and she made no efforts to hide her arrogance.

Xia Luo walked forward with a smile. bowed towards the man in the grey robe, and introduced himself. “Greetings, Tutor Wusheng. I am Xia Luo from Astral-10.”

The middle aged man nodded as he studied Xia Luo for a moment. He then nodded his head in satisfaction. “You are the person that Elder Tan mentioned to me?”

Xia Luo answered, “Yes, I am.”

Wusheng continued to say, “Let’s go. I want to greet Elder Tan first.”

“Tutor, please follow me this way.” Xia Luo then motioned in the direction for them to go and politely nodded at the girl before turning around to lead the way for them.

The girl looked at Xia Luo curiously. Her name was Liu Ji and she had come on this trip to take Astral-6’s entrance exam. However, they had suddenly taken a detour here, apparently to scout a student from Astral-10 for the Lockbreaker assessment. Astral-10? Wasn’t that academy driven out of the Innervse? How could one of their students join the Lockbreaker Society? The situation didn’t make any sense to her.

Once she saw Xia Luo, Liu Ji felt an instinctive affinity toward him, but she still had no confidence in him passing the assessment. She was well aware of just how difficult the Lockbreaker assessment was, and even she, a natural genius who was born into the society, had to take the test multiple times before she finally passed. What gave this person the confidence to think that he would pass the exam?

The three of them appeared at the realm entrance via the teleportation equipment and coincidentally met someone who was about to leave, Hui Daynight.

Hui Daynight just glanced at the three of them before proceeding into the teleportation device without a word.

Wusheng was shocked. “Isn’t he from the Daynight clan? I didn’t expect someone from the Daynight clan to join Astral-10.”

Xia Luo smiled as he explained, “His name is Hui Daynight. And yes, he’s from the Daynight Clan. He’s a nice person.”

Liu Ji raised her brows questioningly. A nice person? Why would he say that? The student who had just left was obviously extremely arrogant, even more so than herself. He hadn’t even greeted Master Wusheng! Even a senior of the Daynight Clan wouldn’t dare to be so rude. It was truly an annoying clan.

But as far as Xia Luo was concerned, as long as someone wasn’t his enemy, then everyone was a nice person—or, at least, that was his personal view.

The Trialmaster was sitting in the same spot as always, with the appearance of a senile old man.

Wusheng’s expression changed once he saw the Trialmaster and he immediately went forward and said respectfully, “Elder Tan, your student, Wusheng, has come to greet you.”
