Lu Yin felt a pang of regret; he had been counting on getting a gift. Well, even Mentor Wu Sheng had said the price was not light. It was probably not something he could obtain at his current level. He should just go back to the Tenth Academy first; he had been out for so long.
Closing the Decipherer network, Lu Yin suddenly found that he had an unread notification. He looked at it and was surprised. It was actually from the Tenth Academy, from Elder Cai.
'Temporary mission: proceed to the Bourne Territory and obtain the third eye of the Giant King. Return to the Academy upon completion.'
"Giant King? Third eye?" Lu Yin was puzzled and immediately looked it up on the network.
The Bourne Territory was very far from the Canglan territory, separated by seven territories, containing nearly a hundred domains. Compared to the Canglan territory, the Bourne Territory was considered a bit smaller. The Giant Race was a savage race within the Bourne Territory, possessing powerful combat strength, and had even produced a Star-Wandering Realm expert.
Each member of the Giant Race was a hundred meters tall, ugly, bald with long arms, with a forest growing on their back, and their whole body was green, their two eyes full of black threads. Their population was about ten million, and the one who ruled these Giants was the Giant King.
Lu Yin searched for a long time and found a lot of information about the Giant King, but there was no mention of any third eye. He even found many images of past Giant Kings, and none had a third eye. Could Elder Cai have made a mistake?
He originally wanted to contact Elder Cai to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. He would go and take a look first.
The journey from the Canglan territory to the Bourne Territory would take a month. During this month, Lu Yin planned to continuously observe the star chart. So now, he needed to roll the die.
It had only been a few days since his last roll. Lu Yin calculated a bit; it wasn't time yet. He took out the star chart and began to observe, constantly trying to recall the feeling the Mad Headmaster had given him when circulating the ninth star.
A few more days passed unknowingly. Lu Yin took out the die. It was time to roll.
He tapped his finger on the die. As it stopped spinning, the scene around Lu Yin changed, and he appeared in the time-stopped space.
He was a little distressed; he was getting aesthetically fatigued from seeing this space. But he was reluctant to change the scene. Well, it was only three days; it would pass quickly.
When the three days were up, Lu Yin returned to the king's residence and continued to shake the die.
This time, it was one pip. A bank star card from some unknown place fell out. Anyway, it wasn't from Mebis Bank. Lu Yin pouted. Useless. He continued.
When he saw the die was one pip again, Lu Yin sighed. He watched as a pink woman's dress fell down. He was dumbfounded. This was also possible? Without a second thought, he immediately burned it. If anyone saw it, his reputation would be ruined.
He could even get women's clothing. Lu Yin sighed. It seemed he could never roll the die in front of others in this life. Just imagine if a piece of women's underwear suddenly fell out in front of him. He didn't even dare to imagine that picture.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yin flexed his fingers and tapped the die again. When the die stopped spinning, what appeared before his eyes was—six.
Six pips, a magical number. Lu Yin's pupils contracted, and he became extremely fervent. This number was just right for him.
Everything before his eyes changed. He turned into a ball of light and appeared in a dark space. All around him were balls of light, some gentle, some scorching, some large, some small. Lu Yin's ball of light flew farther and farther. He had about two hundred thousand cubic meters of crystals in his spatial ring, enough for him to go very far.
This time, Lu Yin was not in a hurry. He wanted to see how he could choose the person most suitable for him.
As the distance grew farther, there were countless balls of light around him. Lu Yin found that some balls of light were very repelled by him, while some were attracting him. He was thinking when suddenly, a pulling force appeared. His expression changed. No way, had he used up two hundred thousand cubic meters of crystals? Without a second thought, he immediately rushed towards a ball of light that was attracting him.
This ball of light was much larger than his, and also larger than Da Lei's before. It should be a Limiteer, and definitely not a weak one.
The moment Lu Yin jumped into the ball of light, his consciousness disappeared. When he was conscious again, he had become another person, a genius Decipherer named Karon.
Lu Yin looked at his hands, then at the mirror, and saw a handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was Karon, a genius Decipherer from the Dimo territory, a five-star Bright Pupil Initial Level, just one step away from becoming a Control Master Intermediate Level Decipherer. He was a true genius. More importantly, this person was a student of the Astral-6 Academy and one of the Domain Masters of the Prison Path, on the same level as the Spear Mountain Range's Domain Master, Van Kleed.
Lu Yin knew he had hit the jackpot. This person was absolutely the most suitable for him. They were both Decipherers; no wonder this person's ball of light had attracted him. In the dark, there was a connection between him and this person. Lu Yin knew how he should choose in the future. He had to find balls of light that were attracted to him; the two sides definitely had something in common.
Suddenly, Lu Yin remembered something. He immediately checked the star chart and found that the Dimo territory, although not as far as the Bourne territory from the Canglan territory, was still two territories away. At such a distance, his crystals would definitely not last long. Lu Yin seized the time and sat down to review Karon's life, focusing on his deciphering experience.
Karon was worthy of being a five-star genius Decipherer. He had deciphered no less than twenty Yuanbao. And the deciphering experience that had made him a five-star Decipherer had come from a sword-shaped Yuanbao.
That was one of the Limiteer Realm missions of the Sixth Academy. The issuer was unknown. However, the mission to decipher the sword-shaped Yuanbao was famous in the Sixth Academy, all because two Decipherers had already died under this Yuanbao, killed by a burst of sword qi. This Yuanbao had even attracted a Control Master Intermediate Level Decipherer, which showed that this was indeed a Yuanbao suitable for a Bright Pupil Initial Level Decipherer, but it was very, very difficult to succeed. Once successful, it would surely be a five-star merit.
Karon had succeeded. He had spent three days and was almost exhausted before he finally succeeded at the last moment, and he had also obtained the sword named Xian Luo, which had shaken the Sixth Academy, making him the most talented Decipherer after Dobo.
Lu Yin reviewed the process of deciphering the Xian Luo Sword again and was shocked by Karon's masterful control over Star Energy. Although this person couldn't see as clearly as he did when he circulated the Heavenly Star Art, he had succeeded by relying on his familiarity with Star Energy. This was the method of most Decipherers. His own use of the Heavenly Star Art to decipher was cheating.
Karon was a true genius Decipherer.
Even just reviewing it once, Lu Yin was tired and sweating, but the harvest was not small. He had merged with Karon's body, which was equivalent to having this person's deciphering experience. This was a precious fortune.
Done. Lu Yin took out the Xian Luo Sword from his spatial ring. The body of the sword was light and silvery-white. The blade's edge flowed with all kinds of colors, and strange patterns were faintly visible. He casually brandished it, and Karon's cultivation secret room was directly cut with a huge mark. Lu Yin was surprised. A secret room that could be provided for a Limiteer Realm expert to cultivate in was not made of ordinary materials, yet it was so easily cut by the Xian Luo Sword. So sharp.
Moreover, the flowing patterns on the blade were clearly not simple. This was a weapon that had been covered in dust from who knew how long ago, possessing a mysterious power.
Lu Yin was a little greedy. He really wanted to get this sword, and also the wealth in Karon's spatial ring. But after thinking about it, he decided against it. One couldn't be too greedy. He had already obtained his deciphering experience. To rob him clean would easily bring retribution. The universe was very magical. Although he didn't believe in retribution, he also had a guilty conscience. This was also a kind of retribution.
Although he didn't want to rob Karon of his wealth, it didn't mean this person was useless. This was one of the super experts of the Sixth Academy, a Domain Master of the Prison Path, on the same level as Van Kleed. A ready-made backer. Lu Yin recalled Karon's experiences, and a strange curve appeared on the corner of his mouth. This guy was definitely a genius, but unfortunately, in terms of relationships, he was a tragedy. But it was just right for him.
From the most remote corner of the spatial ring, Lu Yin took out dozens of letters and blinked. "Karon, oh Karon, don't blame me. I didn't want to do this either. But... there's no other way. You'll just have to suffer a little."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pulling force appeared. Lu Yin's eyes closed, and he reappeared in the dark space, then crossed an unknown distance back to the King of Zishan's residence. He opened his eyes again and immediately took out a pen and paper to write.
At the same time, in the distant Dimo territory, Karon stood up from the ground and rubbed his head. What happened? Why was I on the ground? And... my memory seems to be gone. Suddenly, Karon's pupils contracted, and his face turned pale. On the ground were dozens of letters. These letters made his heart explode. His secret had been discovered.
For Karon, he could die, but some secrets could never be discovered. However, the letters on the ground clearly told him that his secret had been viewed mercilessly once.
Karon trembled as he collected the letters, his whole body cold. Who was it? Who could have knocked him out so silently? This was his most secret cultivation room, which he had never told a second person. Who on earth was it?
At this moment, a string of numbers appeared before Karon's eyes. It was a person's contact number. Karon's expression changed. This was left by that person. Was it for him to contact him? Karon opened his personal communicator, hesitant.
At the King of Zishan's residence, Lu Yin checked his spatial ring and was sad to find that he had only a little over five hundred cubic meters of Star Crystals left. He had consumed two hundred thousand cubic meters in one go. Too terrifying. It was an absolute gold-swallowing beast. But he didn't regret it. To be able to merge with Karon, it was worth spending another two hundred thousand. If not for the two hundred thousand cubic meters of crystals, he couldn't have gone to the Dimo territory.
The six pips had given him a huge surprise, and at the same time, it had turned him into a pauper. Lu Yin was both in pain and happy.
It was time to make money. The storm of the Xi Yue incident had gradually subsided, and no more spendthrifts were visiting. He had to find an excuse. Lu Yin was thinking about how to fool people when his personal communicator suddenly rang. The corner of his mouth lifted, and he clicked on it. In front of him, a light screen appeared, and Karon, with his red-rimmed eyes, appeared before Lu Yin's eyes.
Seeing Lu Yin, Karon was stunned. He had originally thought that the person who had ambushed him was a Star-Wandering Realm expert. Why was it a young man, looking to be only about twenty years old? At this age, it was absolutely impossible to have ambushed him. "Who are you?"
Lu Yin smiled. "You must be the Karon my uncle mentioned."
Uncle? Karon's eyes widened, his gaze ferocious, but also with a trace of fear. "Where is your uncle? I want to see him."
Lu Yin shrugged. "Sorry, my uncle is busy and won't see you. But he did tell me a little about your affairs. So interesting, haha."
Karon's whole body went cold again, and he stared at Lu Yin. "Who are you? What do you know? What do you want?"
