Chapter 360: Lu Yin’s Ability (1/2)

But what really caught Lu Yin’s attention was Xi Qi, as this girl was actually able to sense the waves earlier than Dao Bo and was at about the same level as Casanova. Her perception was likely due in large part to the fish’s assistance.

When Casanova turned around to look at Lu Yin, he saw that Lu Yin was no longer waiting and that he was now making his way forward as well.

Tong Mi'er closely watched Lu Yin, hoping that he would become a dried corpse like so many others and would suffer a miserable fate of overestimating his own capabilities.

Tong Mi'er wasn’t alone, as many others were also carefully watching Lu Yin. He was only a two star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker, and the disparity between him and the other three was simply too vast in their minds.

Fortunately, Lu Yin’s performance seemed rather normal, but this did not mean much as a few of the Lockbreakers from before had moved at the same pace as Lu Yin, and some had gone even faster. The most critical stretch was the last hundred meters. That was where accidents were most likely to occur.

The four of them approached the tree-shaped sourcebox, and as they approached closer, the energy fluctuations became both more frequent and faster. Lu Yin could only vaguely make out the waves now, but he was not worried since he could still easily avoid them. Only the last ten meters required a more serious effort from him.

To the east, a smear of light appeared. The sun was rising, and it illuminated this side of the planet.

At this moment, Casanova had already drawn within a hundred meters of the tree-shaped sourcebox, and the two dried corpses nearby were very eye-catching and horrifying.

Even Casanova had to pay more attention at this time, since any single distraction could be fatal.

There was no definite safe road when it came to the path of lockbreaking, and even Boundless Advanced Lockbreakers could die during their lockbreaking attempts. This was the price that one had to pay as a Lockbreaker.

“The next part will depend entirely on your own ability. You can back out now if you’re not confident. The closer we get, the more dangerous it’ll become. Take care of yourselves,” Casanova exhorted the other three once again before he stepped forward.

Dao Bo, Xi Qi, and Lu Yin did not hesitate and also stepped past the hundred meter point.

The onlookers could only see four people constantly shifting about, and it looked rather strange to them. Still, no one was bothered by their movements since this was a lockbreaking attempt and battling the unseen was a normal part of these attempts.

“That two-legged beast isn’t bad. For him to reach this point is no simple matter.” From atop Xi Qi’s head, the fish looked at Lu Yin in amazement.

Xi Qi had a serious expression, and she spoke with a rather grudging tone. “Can you stop talking! I’m already friendless because of you.”

“Bah! With Lord Fish here, why do you even need any friends? That’s why you two-legged beasts are all maggots—you all have to live in social groups.”

As Casanova stepped forward and evaded the erratic energy rushing at him from time to time, he also looked back at the others, especially Lu Yin. He knew how strong Dao Bo and Xi Qi’s lockbreaking abilities were, but he was very curious about Lu Yin’s. This person’s fighting strength was shocking, but Casanova did not know how Lu Yin measured up as a Lockbreaker.

However, since Lu Yin had followed the three of them to this point, his ability to perceive the movement of star energy in advance must be pretty decent. It might even be possible that Lu Yin could rival Dao Bo.

Eighty, seventy, fifty… thirty meters.

The four gradually started slowing down, and at times, they even completely stopped, only moving forward once more after stretching out their senses.

No other Lockbreaker had reached where the four of them were currently at, so no one knew what would happen next. Master Jun had a serious expression on his face since it was possible that even he might not be able to rescue these youths if something happened at this junction. The Lockbreaker Society would definitely suffer a great loss if something happened to any one of these four young Lockbreakers.

Another hour passed, and the four of them were now within twenty meters of the tree-shaped sourcebox. They had taken half the night to reach this point, but all the progress they had made was only in approaching the sourcebox; they had not even started actually lockbreaking yet.

Dao Bo could not advance any further. His perception of star energy was heavily reliant on his domain, but the star energy ahead of him flowed in such a strange manner that he was no longer able to find a path to proceed along any further.

Xi Qi’s face was pale, and the fish’s eyes flitted about. “It’s troublesome. Why are there so many?”

Casanova frowned and turned around.

Lu Yin squinted, as there were too many energy waves in this area. If they wanted to approach any closer, then someone would have to act as bait and draw out the flow of star energy, luring the powerful waves that almost completely permeated the space before them. Only in this manner could the others approach. This was also the reason why Casanova had looked for other people to cooperate with. Lu Yin looked towards Casanova, and coincidentally, Casanova looked at him as well, and they exchanged glances.

“Who here has the confidence to proceed?” Casanova asked as he carefully studied the other three.

Dao Bo looked up before looking at Xi Qi and Lu Yin. He then shook his head. “I’m not confident.”

Xi Qi pursed her lips, but the fish spoke up for her. “Lord Fish is confident.”

Casanova looked at Lu Yin. “What about you?”

Lu Yin nodded. “I’m also confident.”

The fish was grumpy. “Two-legged beast, are you trying to pit yourself against Lord Fish!? You’re by yourself, but you think that you can approach this thing? Dream on!”

“Seventh Bro, that fish is too despicable. Let’s throw it in a stew and cook it!” the Ghost Monkey shrieked.

Not too far away, Casanova gave Lu Yin a serious look. “Do you realize what you’re saying?”

Lu Yin smiled. “I do. I said, ‘I’m also confident.’”

Casanova’s eyes flickered. “Fine, then tell me right now which directions I can travel in.”

Lu Yin raised a finger and replied, “Three directions.” He then pointed out in three directions.

Atop Xi Qi’s head, the fish was shocked. “Damn! They’re all correct. This two-legged beast is very strange. Could there be a similar life-form to Lord Fish helping him? No, that’s impossible; Lord Fish is unique!”
