Chapter 165

Major Improvements And A New Technique

After his brush with death, He Zhu scratched his head and grinned. “Thank you so much, Junior Chengfeng.”

Chengfeng was also very satisfied with his performance. He felt like his ability to control plants had improved once more. He sensed that this chlorokinesis was not as simple as he thought. With creative imagination, this seemingly weak ability could turn the tables in a battle.

He smiled. “When you charge at the statues like that, aren't you afraid that we won't be able to cover you, that you'll be slashed or burned to death?”

He Zhu smiled shyly. “My Senior Brothers wouldn't hurt me.”

Chengfeng had a sudden realisation: what a trusting blockhead!

He rushed forward and pulled He Zhu up, patting his shoulder hard. “Good job!”

Su You and the rest stabbed their swords hard into the stone tile at the eye of the array, leading to a deafening rumble. The array stopped moving, announcing that they had successfully defeated the Separating Fire Array!

Chengfeng turned to look at Su Yuehan, who was grinning demurely with her nose in the air. He was both annoyed and amused, rubbing her head hard as he clenched his teeth, “Not bad, NOT BAD!”

She squealed, wanting to escape but he bullied her anyway.

Su You was jealous at such an interaction, laughing drily. He wanted to pat Blockhead's head but raised his hand to realise he could not reach the top of his head. Su You then awkwardly patted his own head.

Tian Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter while Blockhead rubbed his own head and chuckled.

This was the first time everyone worked together so seamlessly. If anyone had been one second late, He Zhu would have died. But if he did not risk his life charging at the central statue, they would not have defeated the array either. And if it wasn't defeated, it was only a matter of time before the fight tired them all out.

At this moment, Chengfeng felt an invisible energy and camaraderie tying them all together. He now had a new belief: he will get stronger! Everyone will get stronger together!

A rumble came from within the array again. The tiles moved, swallowing the statues into the ground.

Chengfeng was curious about the astonis.h.i.+ng mechanisms that had been built beneath Yanjian Hall. Where would these broken statues be brought too? How were they repaired? Who made these puppets anyway? How did they function?

Chengfeng always felt like he had entered a separate world that did not make sense here at Spiritual Mountain Sect. He had only seen a small chip of it. There was a huge part of the world still shrouded in a mysterious mist, waiting for him to explore.

As he stood there thinking, mechanical puppets appeared within Yanjian HAll once more. This time, there were twenty statues. Everyone paled and looked at Su Yuehan instinctively.

Their formation was as such: four in front, ten in the middle and six at the back. They stood very close together at both ends, making the formation shaped like a large red date. She immediately remarked, “This is the Blazing Sword Array, it is both strong in defence and offence. We can't break through this one!”

Chengfeng's face fell. “Look at you, getting ahead of yourself!”

She continued, “The Blazing Sword Array is an intermediate-type array with powerful defensive and offensive properties. This array is specifically used in battlefields. There's too few of us to break it!”
