Chapter 359: Joining Forces (2/2)

Casanova was now in a bad mood. “We can at least give it a try.”

“Brother Casanova, could I take part in this attempt?” Tong Mi'er walked out, seemingly with high expectations.

Casanova shook his head. “You don’t make the cut. Even though you’ve comprehended a domain, you’ve barely grasped it. If you can’t even protect yourself, there’s no need to mention you trying to help us.”

“Then what about me?” Lu Yin walked out and looked at Casanova.

Many were flabbergasted. Although they were amazed by Lu Yin’s fighting strength, they did not know how his lockbreaking ability compared.

Tong Mi'er sneered. “Brother, you’re just a two star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker. Your level’s far too low, so just step aside and watch.”

Casanova looked at Lu Yin with some interest. “A two star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker isn’t good enough.”

Lu Yin took another step out. “One’s ability is not just their registered information, but also what one can actually do. You can test me.”

Casanova shook his head. “There’s no need to test you. You’ve only recently comprehended a domain as well. If it was Dao Bo, then I would not have been able to step that close to that beautiful lady. Your domain, comparatively speaking, is not much better than that of the person before.”

Lu Yin raised his hand and brought out the Giant Emperor’s third eye. “And with this?”

Many cried out at the sight of the lockbreaking tool, and even Casanova was shocked. “You actually have a lockbreaking tool!”

Lu Yin nodded. “A lockbreaking tool as well as a domain. I can see what many others can’t.”

Dao Bo looked at Casanova. “I can vouch for Lu Yin’s abilities.”

Casanova nodded. “Alright, you can join, but don’t be a burden. I’ll warn you now: I’m not responsible for saving you. You better go and lick Master Jun’s boots so that he’ll watch over you.”

Lu Yin smiled. Although his lockbreaking experience was lacking, he was confident that he was not inferior to Casanova in any way. This was because he could see star energy much more clearly due to the combination of his Cosmic Art, domain, and lockbreaking tool. Out of everyone present, even Master Jun, Lu Yin was confident that no one could perceive the star energy more clearly than him. It would not be a problem for him to keep himself safe.

If it weren’t for the fact that he did not understand the tree-shaped sourcebox, he would have already made a move.

Tong Mi'er was not satisfied with this outcome, and he hatefully glared at Lu Yin. He wanted to see just how this person was more qualified than him. Although a lockbreaking tool was important, its efficacy depended greatly on who possessed it.

“Hold up, two-legged beasts. Lord Fish realized it just now, but is that the toy that you want to deal with?” The fish atop Xi Qi’s head raised its fin and pointed at the tree-shaped sourcebox.

Casanova could not even be bothered to respond to the fish.

Xi Qi replied, “Yes, help us by looking.”

The fish disdainfully answered, “There’s nothing to look at! There’s no use. The few of you won’t be able to succeed. Leave quickly!”

“Why?” Xi Qi asked.

The rest looked at the fish as well.

Its beady eyes swiveled around, and it seriously replied, “Because this sourcebox has preserved the strength of the predecessors. Once it’s unlocked, a calamity will befall this place.”

Many people were stunned by its words, and Casanova’s brow furrowed as well. Only a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker could go against the strength of the predecessors, as that was not something that a typical person could deal with.

In the sky, Master Jun frowned. The fish’s claims shouldn’t be the case, since if this sourcebox truly carried the strength of the predecessors, then the Lockbreaker Society would not have allowed it to be a training experience for the younger generation. Yet he had also heard that this fish could see things that normal people could not.

“Seventh Bro, it’s fake! I dare to claim that this despicable fish is lying! It’s intentions must be to unlock this thing itself after we leave,” the Ghost Monkey said with absolute certainty.

Lu Yin looked at the fish and then at everyone’s solemn expressions. He then said, “This sourcebox should not contain the strength of the predecessors, or else the Lockbreaker Society would not have encouraged us to come here and unlock it. They must have sent Boundless Advanced Lockbreakers here before us.”

His words received much approval.

The fish, however, became infuriated. “This two-legged beast! Don’t lie through your teeth! Would Lord Fish ever hurt you? Let me tell you something. This tree was planted by the predecessors, and it has naturally preserved their strength. What do you know, you fool?”

Lu Yin did not bother with the fish, and instead looked at Casanova. “We can contact some seniors in the society and ask them about this matter.”

Casanova nodded and was about to move.

The fish was unhappy. “Go ahead if you guys want to die. A bunch of idiotic two-legged beasts. Go, go, go on!”

Everyone felt strange; the fish was clearly trying to frighten them.

Xi Qi immediately apologized.

Casanova ruthlessly glared at the fish, but then he stepped into the sourcebox’s danger zone. Dao Bo and Lu Yin closely followed behind him as Xi Qi tried to pacify the fish. Then, she also stepped within the sourcebox’s area.

The fish angrily glared at Lu Yin, as it loathed this two-legged beast. There was a detestable aura on the human’s body, and his mouth was repulsive as well.

The four Lockbreakers activated their gadgets to record their attempt as they stepped into the area, ready to begin their lockbreaking attempt. Their expressions turned serious, and the fish even stopped talking as it began to desperately scan around itself.

“Everyone, approach the sourcebox with your own abilities, but listen to my commands,” Casanova said solemnly. He took the lead and began making his way towards the sourcebox. He walked steadily, and his path was practically a straight line.

Dao Bo stayed rather close to Casanova as he also slowly made his way forward.

Xi Qi’s expression was more solemn, and her demeanor changed. Her mien became completely different from before. The fish no longer spouted curses, and it instead started whispering in her ear as it steadily guided her forward.
