Break through the financing environment

If upgraded again, it could reach the Black Hole level, with a speed a hundred times that of an ordinary spaceship, capable of defending against attacks from Hunters and tearing through the cosmic black hole—a supreme travel tool.

Rumor has it that there is an even higher level, the Stellar Light level, but Lu Yin couldn't find any specific information about it. Aurora Spaceship Company's slogan for external promotion is: "Jumping and flying are equivalent," meaning that while ordinary spaceships require wormhole jumps to cover long distances, the Aurora spaceship does not. Both take roughly the same amount of time, showcasing the confidence of Aurora Company.

Lu Yin touched the spaceship, feeling its cold and sturdy material—what a good item! This Aurora spaceship's starting price is at least fifty billion cosmic coins. With it, he could consider himself wealthy!

Not planning to leave yet, Lu Yin departed the space station and headed to the Rain Observation Platform. It was time to break through to the Fusion Realm.

On top of a tree far from the teleportation device, on a stone platform, Lu Yin took out the Body Sculpting Manual. This manual belonged to Tres, who died in the Battle of Jinling, and Lu Yin had obtained it. He had been waiting to break through to the Fusion Realm to use it.

Initially, he wanted to find the body on Neptune to obtain a better Body Sculpting Manual, but unexpectedly, Qing Yu was not dead, leading to a series of events.

Sitting on the stone platform and looking at the dark green rain connecting heaven and earth, Lu Yin took a deep breath, cut his finger, and pressed the Body Sculpting Manual to it. Time to break through to the Fusion Realm.

The next moment, excruciating pain swept through his body, the familiar agony made Lu Yin's eyes shine. His whole body was undergoing inhuman torture; cells were burning and reorganizing. At this moment, he seemed to see the starry sky, an invincible powerhouse pressing towards him. Every breath felt the universe; his entire body was adapting to the cosmos. The star energy within him became extremely scarce, and his body craved star energy, endless star energy irrigation.

Lu Yin's gaze was firm, feeling his strength growing. This was the power of the Fusion Realm, he was about to break through.

Suddenly, his shirt tore, runes on his back glowed and transformed into a lock shape, penetrating his shoulder blades, as if locking his body. This was the seal that had appeared before.

At the moment the seal appeared, the Body Sculpting Manual inside Lu Yin shattered, unable to withstand the pressure from the seal.

Lu Yin stared in disbelief. As the manual shattered, his brain was shaken, almost causing him to faint. He had failed.

In the rain, the Rain Observation Mentor stepped out, frowning at Lu Yin, "The seal is preventing the child from breaking through. Who placed such a cruel seal?"

At this moment, an elderly man in ragged clothes emerged from the void, placing a hand on Lu Yin's back. Terrifying power spread, enveloping the entire Tenth Academy and even the starry sky, causing surrounding stars to tremble. He was suppressing the seal while his other hand drew through the void, slowly forming a new Body Sculpting Manual that merged directly into Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was close to fainting, not expecting to fail. He clearly felt the breakthrough to the Fusion Realm; why did he fail? Just as he was in despair, another powerful force appeared, continuing to press on his body, allowing the body sculpting to proceed.

Cells were burning, blood was being remade. Lu Yin gritted his teeth; the sculpting had not failed. Though he didn't know the source of this new power, as long as it existed, he could continue the process.

Behind him, the old man's eyes were deep, like rotating stars. He exerted force with his right hand, causing a crack to appear in the lock-shaped seal, spreading until it finally shattered with a bang.

At the same time, the entire starry sky shook.

In Sand Sea of Wangchuan, a middle-aged man looked up in surprise.

In the Treasure Pavilion, Cai Lao was startled.

At the realm's entrance, an elder opened his eyes, deep in thought.

In the Star Plucking Tower, someone looked up.

Under the rain, the Rain Observation Mentor was shocked.

As Lu Yin broke through to the Fusion Realm, the moment the seal shattered, he again saw the jade finger that crushed the void. This time, he saw something different—a vast, distant place beyond the jade finger, a pair of brilliant eyes reflecting the stars, incomparably beautiful and noble.

Simultaneously, his body shone, as if it had come alive again.

The old man in ragged clothes quietly watched Lu Yin, eyes contemplative.

The Rain Observation Mentor hesitated, "Is this an ancient seal?"

"Very ancient. I could only break it with brute force, but only one," the old man said calmly.

The Rain Observation Mentor's eyes changed, "Are there more?"

The old man nodded, looking up, eyes nostalgic, "This kind of seal seems familiar, but I've forgotten. It's very ancient and terrifying, placing such a seal on a child."

"The effect?" The Rain Observation Mentor was curious.

"The physical body. It seals the child's innate physical talent, turning him into an ordinary person. Now, he is beginning to show his true strength, but only physically," the old man said, looking at Lu Yin.

He sighed, "The remaining seals are difficult to break. Last time, I nearly harmed the child in my madness. This time, consider it repayment. The Body Sculpting Manual I created should allow him to sculpt his body again, as long as no more seals appear."

The old man left, not mad this time.

A full day later, Lu Yin's breakthrough finally ended.

Opening his eyes, he saw the rain had changed. Breaking through to the Fusion Realm had enhanced his sense of power, though he didn't know by how much.

Clenching his fists, Lu Yin felt different—his physical body seemed more resilient, his strength significantly increased.

He thought it was just an illusion from the breakthrough and didn't pay much attention. Standing up, he suddenly noticed a new Body Sculpting Manual in his body and was surprised. He quickly looked at the rain, "Rain Observation Mentor, are you there?"

In the rain, the Rain Observation Mentor's voice came, "The Body Sculpting Manual in your body allows you to sculpt your body again. Go to Sand Sea of Wangchuan to cultivate; the Rain Observation Platform won't benefit you much in the short term."

Lu Yin bowed in thanks, recalling the breakthrough. He remembered Tres's manual shattering and failing, realizing it was the mentor who saved him.

Lu Yin felt fortunate to have entered the Tenth Academy; otherwise, no one could have helped him.

To test his Fusion Realm strength, Lu Yin immediately headed to the realm's entrance. The Transcendence Battle was the best platform to test his strength.

"Gray White Night, six wins and ninety-two losses," Lu Yin heard as he arrived at the entrance.

Gray White Night walked out of the Transcendence Stone's range with a sour expression.

Lu Yin noticed him and saw his improvement. Initially, he had three wins and seventy-two losses, now six wins and ninety-two losses, quite an improvement.

Michelle entered the Transcendence Stone's range and emerged a while later, "Michelle, thirteen wins and fifty-six losses."

Lu Yin was surprised. She had also improved. It seemed he wasn't the only one making progress; others were too. The Tenth Academy might not have specialized mentors, but the Rain Observation Platform, Sand Sea of Wangchuan, and the mysterious Star Plucking Tower were excellent training grounds.

Lu Yin passed by Michelle, stepping into the Transcendence Stone's range for his first battle after breaking through to the Fusion Realm. He hoped not to encounter a star walker.

The scene changed, and Lu Yin found himself in a meadow.

The gentle breeze and fresh scent of the grass were intoxicating.

In front of him, a figure appeared and immediately attacked Lu Yin with a strange purple, viscous substance like a spider web. This was a gift.

Lu Yin was surprised; it was an unusual gift.

The purple viscous substance sealed the void, directly attacking Lu Yin. He stepped forward, his body flashing, disappearing from the spot, and reappeared in front of the Fusion Realm expert. Raising his hand, the Six-fold Six-times Ripple Palm struck. With a bang, the Fusion Realm expert was shattered, defeated.

As the expert was defeated, the purple viscous substance in the void vanished.

Lu Yin stared at his hand in astonishment. Using the Six-fold Six-times Ripple Palm just now was easy. Before, every use felt like his palm would crack, a sign that his body could barely handle it. But this time, it felt as natural as breathing, with no strain on his body. How could this be? Breaking through to the Fusion Realm had significantly strengthened his physical body and increased his speed.

Under the Transcendence Stone, Lu Yin opened his eyes, bewildered. He knew about the Fusion Realm; the biggest change from the Perception Realm to the Fusion Realm was the strength of star energy. The Fusion Realm could crush the Perception Realm, and other aspects would also improve, but not this dramatically. He felt his physical body was unusually strong.

"Let's go again," he thought, entering the Transcendence Battle again.

Another Fusion Realm expert appeared.

The Transcendence Battle mostly featured Fusion Realm experts, followed by Extreme Realm, with few Perception Realm and star walkers.
