Chapter 587: Capability in Breaking The Array

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Yan Luo had been waiting in the center of the array formation from the start, thinking that the earliest he would see anyone come in would be at least two hours later. He did not expect to see another person appear instantly beside him when he was transported to the center of the array. And she looked slightly familiar, a vague recollection told him that she looked like one of the four from the Invincible Academy, seems like she’d been sent here by the transportation array at the entrance.

The target location at the entrance was random, he knew that too. But the locations were mostly out the borders of the maze, the luckier ones will be in the middle, there has never been anyone directly transported to the end point! If everyone could arrive at the end point the moment they step in, then what was the competition for.

Yan Luo must admit that he was dumbfounded, what was even more surprising was that she could have left the array if she just turned and walked, then she would become the first person to pass the second round of the competition. Though he was the teacher guarding the array formation, but according to the rules, he could only adjust the array formations around him and cannot strike directly. And she was standing right in the center of the array formation, which means he wasn’t able to stop her at all.

But the odd thing was that, not only did she not leave, she even very calmly sat down… down…! And looked like she was intending to stay here for a long time, not in the least anxious. By the time he came back to his senses, he was already seated on the Heart Array Stone and chewing on melon seeds with her.

He’d even unconsciously brought out some treasured, good tea that he had kept in his storage for many years and some snacks. “This is superior good tea, want a cup?”

“Sure!” Shen Ying calmly took a cup and also pulled out a few plates of pastries at the same time. “Want some pastries? My chef made them, they’re very delicious.”

“Mm, smells sweet and fragrance, not bad indeed.”

“You can have some.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Wait a moment!

What was he doing? Why was he eating without knowing it! Should he take this chance to sound out the exact details about this Invincible Academy? But… this pastry tastes really good! He totally couldn’t hold back, what to do?

Yan Luo inhaled deeply several times, before he found his willpower that had almost left home. He could not help but ask, “Miss, why aren’t you leaving the array?” Get out and you win! Getting the first place kind of winning.

“Waiting for Father Niu and Chef to come pick me up.” Shen Ying replied like it was only natural and right.

“What?” He was confused for a moment, who was Father Niu? Wasn’t she in a team with the person known as Lonemoon?

Just as he was about to question further, she suddenly stopped moving and put down the teacup in her hand. “Here.”

What? What was here?

Yan Luo was stupefied, before he could react, the array formation before him shook and multiple array formations lit up all around. In the next second several figures were before him, it was Lonemoon whom he had seem a few days before, and another man, he remembered that he seemed to be called Yi Qing, he was even carrying an insect in his hand.

This… this speed in breaking the array was way too fast! He hadn’t even finished his two pieces of pastries!

Hold on, it’s not the time to think about the pastries now.

“Master…” Yi Qing caught sight of the person on the Heart Array Stone at once, feeling instantly relieved.

“Hey, Chef!” Shen Ying chewed on the pastry while greeting him with a wave.

“Teacher Yan…” Lonemoon instantly recognized the person beside Shen Ying, no wonder he didn’t see him outside earlier, turns out he was the one guarding the array.

“Lonemoon, we meet again.” Yan Luo had finally came back to his sense, putting the pastry in his hand away, he barely managed to resume his grace as a teacher with a cough. “Seems like you both are indeed advanced in Dharmic Dao that you managed to find the center of the array formation so quickly, but it’s not that easy to pass this point.” With that said, he conjured seals with both ends and activated the multiple levels of array formations in the middle of the big array. All at once the surrounding array formations lit up brightly as layers upon layers of array formations appeared around them.

Lonemoon did not say anything, directly summoning a spirit sword, he turned and instructed, “Chef you’re responsible for the array formations on the left side, I’ll go for the right, Buggy… you squat down where you are and don’t move.”

“Alright.” Buggy squatted down obediently.

In the next moment, the two people flew out at the same time and began to break through the surrounding layers of array formations with the fastest speed. The middle of the array formation was the area with the most array formations in the maze, adding to that the few more that Yan Luo had specially set up earlier, there were a few dozen tiers of array formations around them right not, the effect and attributes of every one was different.

Yet for the two, it was as if they had entered an with no resistance, with just one look, they could spot the weakness of the array formation, then stuck right away to break it. Taking less than a breath’s time to do so, their speed so fast that even Yan Luo was dazed. Only with absolute understanding of the array formation, would one be able to break through it so easily. On top of that, not one of those attacks from the array formations hit them, their figures moved fast like shadows.

Even Yan Luo could not help but want to let a praise, nice! All at once, his suspicions towards them were completely washed away, he even felt slightly regretful, such great talents, why weren’t they disciples of their Immortal Spirit Academy? He was an array cultivator himself, seeing them break through the arrays so skilfully, the thought of wanting to spar with them and test their limits bubbled up.

Watching as the two were about to break in, Yan Luo was no longer able to hold back and activated the array-guarding beasts, at once, fire walls more than ten feet tall lit up and turned the surroundings into a blazing sea of red alongside scorching temperatures.

Shen Ying who was seated suddenly felt the stone beneath her move and she started to float upwards. Whereas everything under her feet began to collapse in inch by inch, revealing a huge hole, the raging flames inside was even more fiery, following that a long caw sounded.

A three-legged fire bird flew up from the hole, its entire body alight with flames. It rushed up and circled the air, creating a visual that seemed like the entire sky was burning at once. That giant bird made a circle, then went in Yan Luo and Shen Ying’s direction and the Heart Array Stone under their feet also landed lightly on the back of the bird.

That three-legged bird let out another call, for a moment the fire raged even higher, as if it was going to swallow up everything.

Both Lonemoon and Yi Qing were stunned for a moment, they did not expect there to be such a array-guarding beast in here. Their expressions darkened as they unlocked the very last array formation. At this point, the surrounding array formations had all disappeared, leaving the few beside Yan Luo.

“Master…” Yi Qing looked towards the person on the Heart Array Stone with slight worry.

Shen Ying had yet to reply, instead Yan Luo was surprised, looking down at the girl who still had a pile of food beside her, Master? This girl was actually the Master of that person, why did this academy even send their teachers in to compete?

He could naturally tell that these two people below had still held back with regards to their speed in breaking the array, even he had been stirred to spar with them, that’s why he summoned the array-guarding beasts that weren’t part of the competition at first. Initially, he was worried that wouldn’t give their all, now…

His eyes narrowed, an idea instantly popped up in his mind. He spoke up directly, “Both of you are indeed extraordinary talents and are well-versed in array formations. But to pass my stage, you still have to bring out your true capabilities, otherwise…” He intentionally glanced at Shen Ying. “I won’t guarantee that nothing will happen to this lady?” The threat in his words was evident.
