Hot, very hot.
Maybe it was because they had inhaled too much cold air, but February, which was supposed to be cold like spring scissors, was a little hot at the moment.
Many Star Card Masters were staring at Mu Chen at this moment. Their hearts were undulating like tides.
He actually succeeded?
He actually designed a Star Card with the gift of array by relying on three completely unrelated materials: the Golden Body Stick, the Blood Essence, and the other three?
Strong, very strong.
"How, how is this possible?!"
Hong Tao's pupils shrank slightly. It should be known that the array was the gift and characteristic of the Star Card. This kind of thing could not be made casually.
Even for someone as excellent as Hong Tao, he had already prepared the background in his mind. Under the premise that the materials were perfectly compatible, he was able to make it skillfully.
Now, Luo Feng actually …?
His face was a little painful. It was a slap in the face.
"My God, he can make an Array Master with only these materials. Isn't Luo Feng too powerful?"
"To be honest, every time I see him making cards, I always have an illusion that the Star Card System is run by him."
"Tut, he's just lucky."
"Lucky?
Look at your jealous face. "
Discussions rose one after another. Everyone looked at Luo Feng in a daze and admired him in their hearts.
"How could he succeed? The hole in his brain is too big, isn't it?"
Su Qingge's beautiful eyes flashed a touch of amazement. As a super excellent Card Master, she knew better than anyone how difficult it was to design an Array Master under such a premise.
"Sister, please don't laugh at me. I'm just lucky."
Luo Feng said with a smile. It was not that he was hypocritical and modest. He was really lucky. Fortunately, he came from the earth and was an upright young man who had made an oath under the red flag.
The four good points naturally referred to moral, intellectual, and physical integrity …
Su Qingge nodded slightly and said, "Now that both of you have made Tactical Matrix Masters, let's start the competition."
Hong Tao took a deep breath and slowly calmed his state of mind. He knew that the only way to redeem his face was to crush Luo Feng in the following competition.
Therefore, he looked at Luo Feng with a gloomy expression, and said with a playful tone, "Even if you are lucky enough to create it, what can you do?"
"Deciding who is qualified to continue teaching in the Wind Pavilion will depend on who can pass the written test, who has a Star Card, and who is better at setting up formations."
Although that voice was rather ear-piercing, it was not without reason in the eyes of the crowd.
After all, even though they were both Array Masters with their Star Card, there was still a gap between Array Masters.
The difference was dependent on the genetic bloodline. For a Star Card, the so-called genetic bloodline naturally referred to the materials.
In the eyes of the crowd, Hong Tao's Star Card's materials were stable and he was an upright Array Master.
On the other hand, Luo Feng's Star Card was nothing more than a forced connection with an Array Master by changing the background.
One was a professional, and the other was an amateur. How could they compete?
Luo Feng's expression did not change in the slightest. He was not sure whether he could win or not, but there was no other way. He could only pin his hopes on Mu Chen.
"Please, Act Tough King."
Under many gazes, Mu Chen raised his eyelids and said, "Compete in what?"
Hong Tao's Star Card was an Array Master named Yang Banxian. He held an Astrolabe in his left hand, an Array Flag in his right hand, and Buddhist beads on his body. He looked quite decent.
Yang Banxian looked playfully at Mu Chen and said, "You set up the array and I break it, or I set up the array and you break it?"
"To be fair, let's throw a coin?"
Everyone looked on with interest. Although they were not Array Masters, they knew that if one side set up the array and the other side broke it, the former would undoubtedly have a greater advantage.
After all, setting up the array was the initiative and had the advantage of being the first to strike.
Hong Tao's Star Card already had the advantage. If he also had the advantage of being the first to strike, how could Luo Feng play?
Hearing Yang Banxian's voice, Mu Chen shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Whether you set up the array or break it, it's up to you."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned. Wasn't this Mu Chen too arrogant?
"Oh, you're still wet behind the ears. Such big words!"
Hearing these words, Yang Banxian was furious and said, "If that's the case, then I'll choose to set up the array!"
"Today, I'd like to see just how capable you are!"
Mu Chen was not surprised. He glanced at the array flag and astrolabe in Yang Banxian's hands and said, "You still need to use external objects to set up the array. It's obvious what level your array is at. With this level of skill, you still dare to bark in front of me."
"You!" Yang Banxian was so angry that he exploded.
"Banxian, don't panic."
Hong Tao smiled and comforted him, "He's deliberately messing with your mentality and making you lose your balance so that you'll reveal a flaw when you set up the array."
"Don't be fooled by him."
Yang Banxian was stunned. He suddenly understood and nodded. He said playfully, "So that's how it is. However, in front of absolute strength, all these small tricks are just a joke."
Hong Tao also nodded. He smiled at Luo Feng and said, "Although I don't know the level of your Star Card's array, my Star Card admits defeat when it comes to showing off."
At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Yang Banxian spun the astrolabe in his hands. Suddenly, the star energy surged and dense array seals condensed. Above the array seals, bright light shot out in all directions.
The light was so dazzling that people could not help but turn around and feel a slight pain in their eyes.
In order to set up an array, one must first condense the star energy into array seals. Then, according to the array diagram in one's mind, these array seals must be combined with a special method.
There were thousands of paths, but they all led to the same destination. Setting up an array and cooking were essentially the same.
The array diagram was the recipe, the array seals were the ingredients, the astrolabe was the wok, and the array flag was the spade. When they were combined, they would finally become a delicious dish.
"Do you recognize this array?"
Yang Banxian waved the formation flags, causing countless formation seals to appear and merge together in a strange order.
Mu Chen stared at the array seals. His eyes flickered as he fell into deep thought.
Rumble …
Under everyone's gaze, the array seals quickly gathered. In the end, the array took shape and a sky-high pagoda slowly condensed.
The huge pagoda flickered with a dim light. The surrounding cold air was oppressive. The door was like a giant beast opening its mouth. It was as black as ink and made people's hearts palpitate.
Beside the pagoda, Yang Banxian stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at Mu Chen mockingly and said, "The array is completed. Do you dare to enter?"
"Deputy Pavilion Master Luo Feng, you must think twice. The array arranged by my Star Card is a little powerful. If your Star Card is unable to walk out and you die, don't blame me." Hong Tao smiled sinisterly.
Mu Chen walked to the front of the array. His eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment. Then, under everyone's gaze, he stepped out and entered the ancient pagoda.
In front of the square, many Star Card Masters were boiling. They were all curious. Could Luo Feng's Star Card break the array arranged by Yang Banxian with all his strength?
In front of them was the interior of the array. When Mu Chen stepped into the array, it was as if he had arrived at a new world.
Here, it was foggy.
Mu Chen's eyes narrowed and were filled with vigilance. He knew that under this seemingly peaceful exterior, there were too many traps.
If he rushed in recklessly, he would be killed by the hidden traps if he wasn't careful.
Right now, the most important task was to avoid the traps and find the Array Eye of the array.
The Array Eye was the core of the array. No matter what kind of array it was, as long as the Array Eye was broken, the array would be broken.
His eyes, which were as dazzling as the sun, slowly closed. It seemed that when his vision was blocked, his perception of his surroundings would become much stronger.
Silence reigned all around, not a sound could be heard.
He had entered a mysterious and wonderful state.
His mind was undistracted.
The so-called undistracted state meant that there were no distracting thoughts in the heart. If the mind was undistracted to the extreme, it would open the Heart's Eye.
Only Array Masters who had a strong understanding of arrays could form the Heart's Eye. Compared to the naked eye, the Heart's Eye could pry into the essence and flaws of an array more easily.
Therefore, under the gazes of many, Mu Chen closed his eyes and relied on his perception to walk up the stairs. Then, he walked up the stairs and headed towards the top of the tower.
As he walked, his footsteps paused. With the Heart's Eye, he could acutely sense that there were two small-scale offensive arrays not far in front of him. They were hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Mu Chen sneered and waved his hand. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar shot out and smashed towards the corner in front of him.
Bang!
The staff smashed down and black smoke rose.
Bang!
Another strike of the staff smashed down, and another offensive formation instantly exploded.
Therefore, Mu Chen smashed as he walked. The calamity was always one step behind him. The offensive array didn't even have time to attack before it was obliterated by him.
Yang Banxian quietly watched. As he watched, his face gradually darkened.
He wasn't surprised that he was able to dodge some of the traps. But if he were to dodge all of them, then there would be a problem!
"Did he use his X-ray vision?!" Yang Banxian's face was a little ugly as he couldn't help but speak out in anger.
The Star Card Masters in the square looked at Mu Chen through the huge tower and sighed. This guy was very familiar with the way. It was as if he was walking in his own array …
Therefore, under the gazes of many, Mu Chen quickly walked up the stairs and quickly reached the top of the tower.
Not far in front of him, there was a stone platform. On the stone platform, there was a black crystal ball that emitted a strange light.
Below the stone platform, there were ancient runes that spread out. They were demonic and mysterious.
Obviously, this crystal ball was the core of the array.
Beside the array, there was a huge statue. It was a stone dragon. Although it was a stone statue, it was vivid and lifelike.
"It shouldn't be that easy to get close to the array core, right?" Mu Chen's eyes flickered as he sank into deep thought.
Rumble.
At this moment, the stone statue shone brightly. Then, the stone dragon seemed to come alive. It roared and charged towards Mu Chen.
The stone dragon brought along a shadow that covered the sky as it whizzed down. Even the Star Card Masters in the square could feel its ferocity through the array.
Swoosh!
A Divine Dragon Swings its Tail. The huge dragon tail whizzed towards Mu Chen with the strength of a small mountain.
Mu Chen jumped and avoided the dragon tail. The stone dragon did not give up and continued to whizz towards him.
He held the Great Meru Demonic Pillar in his hand, which was surrounded by astral energy. With a fierce force, he smashed it towards the stone dragon.
Bang!
As the staff smashed down, only a few fragments fell from the huge stone dragon's body.
"Scraping sand?" Yang Banxian curled his lips in disdain. His eyes were full of mockery.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the top of the tower, Mu Chen held the Great Meru Demonic Pillar and collided with the stone dragon.
However, those with discerning eyes could see that Mu Chen's fierce attack did not cause any substantial damage to the stone dragon.
Moreover, the stone dragon could continuously obtain energy from the array. On the other hand, Mu Chen's astral energy was slowly being depleted as he continued to attack. It was not a good idea to continue like this.
Boom!
Another staff hit. Mu Chen took advantage of the momentum to widen the distance between him and the stone dragon.
"It seems that a simple and violent method will not solve the problem."
Mu Chen took a deep breath. He originally wanted to destroy the stone dragon easily. However, it seemed that this method would not work.
His eyes narrowed as he stared at the stone dragon and began to look for a flaw.
"Will this guy find a flaw? It can't be, right?"
Yang Banxian murmured. The stone dragon's flaw was hidden very well. He was confident that an ordinary array master would not be able to detect it.
However, even he did not have much confidence in himself. After all, Mu Chen's previous performance was as if he had activated his X-ray vision. He could not help but be impressed.
Under such a gaze, Mu Chen quickly saw that there was a strange light flickering on the abdomen of the stone dragon.
"Is it here?" he murmured.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the stone dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws. Its huge dragon claws smashed towards Mu Chen with a destructive force.
Facing this attack, Mu Chen's face was calm. He stood still and did not move.
He did not dodge.
He did not defend.
He did not even open his eyes.
He allowed the huge dragon's claw to reach him.
Everyone's heart trembled. If such a huge dragon claw landed on Mu Chen's head, it would probably crush his egg-shaped head.
However, just when the claw was about to land, the stone dragon's body suddenly froze.
Everyone directed their gazes over. They saw a black light shooting out from Mu Chen's palm. It was aimed at the stone dragon's abdomen.
Boom!
At the same time, the stone dragon's body suddenly froze. Then, it abruptly exploded and turned into rubble.
Yang Banxian, who was watching from afar, had a smear of surprise in his eyes. He stared at Mu Chen, who was in the middle of the rubble, and said in disbelief, "He found the stone dragon's flaw with just a glance?"
"How is this possible?!"
"Just this?" Mu Chen raised the corner of his mouth. Then, he strode towards the Array Aperture.
"As long as we break this Array Aperture, we should be able to break this array." Mu Chen said as he stared at the crystal ball. His gaze suddenly turned playful.
This Array Aperture seemed to be different from an ordinary Array Aperture.
Yang Banxian stared at Mu Chen. A strange smile appeared on his face as he said, "Hurry up and smash it! Hurry up and smash it!"
After staying at the Array Aperture for about five minutes, Mu Chen suddenly lifted the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. With a fierce force, he smashed it down on the crystal ball in the middle of the stone platform.
Boom!
The crystal ball suddenly exploded when the rod landed.
Rumble …
After the crystal ball was shattered, the huge pagoda gradually disappeared under everyone's gaze. It turned into nothingness, revealing Mu Chen's figure inside.
"It's over?"
Everyone was stunned. For a moment, they couldn't recover from their shock. Luo Feng's Star Card actually won the competition so easily?
Hua!
At this moment, Mu Chen's surroundings suddenly shone brightly again. The array seals intertwined and converged, forming a huge Spirit Array that enveloped his body!
Within the Spiritual Boundary, lightning flashed and thunder roared. The billowing Astral Energy storm wreaked havoc, causing everyone's heart to palpitate.
At this moment, Mu Chen suddenly realized that his Astral Energy was circulating extremely slowly, as if it had come to a standstill.
"My skills and Astral Energy have been blocked." He was shocked.
"Haha, congratulations on successfully breaking the array."
A faint mocking laugh rang out. Then, Yang Banxian's figure appeared within the Spiritual Boundary.
Yang Banxian's eyes were filled with contempt as he said, "Do you think you can leave after breaking the Array Aperture?"
"You're thinking too much."
"This is indeed the Array Aperture, but it is also the fuse for the next array. Congratulations on activating the array within the array."
At this moment, Yang Banxian's expression was indifferent. He pointed his finger and said, "Four Dragons Sky-breaking Array, activate!"
Rumble …
Suddenly, a bright golden light burst out from the ancient array, like a rising sun.
Four golden light pillars suddenly burst out from the center of the Star Array and soared into the sky.
Boom!
Everyone raised their heads in horror and looked at this terrifying scene. Then, they saw that the four light pillars that soared into the sky were constantly wriggling. Finally, they turned into four huge Astral Energy dragons.
The dragons wriggled up and down, shaking the heavens and the earth. The Astral Energy rippled and the void trembled.
Wow!
Seeing this scene, there was a short silence outside the square. Suddenly, there were exclamations all over the mountains and plains.
"Damn, Deputy Pavilion Master Hong Tao's Star Card is too powerful. An array within an array?!"
"Damn, it's really powerful. Even if he finds out, it's useless. If he wants to break the array, he has to break the Array Aperture. But once he breaks the Array Aperture, he will inevitably trigger the next array …"
"Also, look, Luo Feng's Star Card's Astral Energy value has been blocked. He can't use Astral Energy, which means he can't use any skills. He is like a turtle in a jar, a fish on the chopping board. He can only wait to be slaughtered!"
"Luo Feng has lost. Are you sure, sir?"
