Chapter 2171 - 2171 2161 The Third Wave

2171: Chapter 2161: The Third Wave 2171: Chapter 2161: The Third Wave Long Yan slowly retracted the Martial God Array back into his body, then it was simple; even the first wave of arrow rain couldn’t penetrate his Martial God Array.

Ouyang Zhen looked at Long Yan with a more complex expression in his eyes, originally he thought that he was on the same starting line as Long Yan, but it turned out that Long Yan was much stronger than him.

“Ready for the second round?”

“Of course.”

The answer was expectedly affirmative, with Long Yan’s breath steady, naturally he proceeded to try the next wave; with Xiao Tong’s hand swinging down heavily, the second wave of arrow rain began.

This time, the arrow rain was obviously not the same as the last; it was on a different level both in quality and quantity.

Only when he was facing it did Long Yan realize, just how terrifying it was.

This kind of oppressive feeling also made Long Yan feel like his scalp was tingling, dense arrow rain fell towards Long Yan, but in his heart, Long Yan already had his own plan.

Long Yan remained still, standing there without any movement, just watching the arrow rain hammer down onto his body.

“This guy must have been scared silly, right?”

The person who had been slapped in the face by Long Yan tried to salvage some dignity by mocking Long Yan, but this time his words didn’t resonate with anyone.

Could anyone who could bear the first wave of arrow rain be mediocre?

The crowd wasn’t dumb enough to be convinced of that.

Just as the arrow rain was about to hit Long Yan, he moved, disappearing into the air in an instant; Long Yan’s feet touched the ground in succession, moving continuously within the Great Formation.

“He’s not trying to dodge the arrow rain with his footwork, is he?”

Someone from the onlookers shouted out, finding it unbelievable; such a dense attack seemed unrealistic to dodge with footwork in everyone’s eyes.

The arrow rain above in the sky, as if having eyes, focused dead on Long Yan, following him wherever he moved.

“I thought it was something else?”

“Such a method is just wishful thinking.”

The crowd, initially dazzled by Long Yan’s performance in the first wave, instantly began to harshly criticize him; how could such a method ever work, almost everyone looked down on Long Yan’s chances.

But there was an exception, Ouyang Zhen seemed to understand what Long Yan was getting at, roughly speaking, a Formation could be considered a connection of points, and the spots where Long Yan’s feet touched the ground were exactly the connecting points inside the Great Formation.

“No wonder.”

Long Yan had previously been observing the pattern of the Great Formation, seeking the linked points of the pattern from its rules; no matter what kind of Formation, it’s bearable if one point is attacked, but what if all points are attacked?

The Great Formation would cease operation in an instant, this was undoubtedly the fastest way to clear the level, without facing the arrow rain or consuming True Qi.

Ouyang Zhen’s look towards Long Yan had turned from initial admiration to shock.

As Long Yan kept moving, the arrow rain followed him relentlessly.

In the stands, the disciple who had been humiliated by Long Yan was still babbling on with criticism of Long Yan.

“Squeak!”

A loud noise came through the air, and the operation of the whole Great Formation was paralyzed; the arrow rain that had been following Long Yan all fell to the ground, the Great Formation suddenly stopped operating, and Long Yan also stopped moving, standing in his place.

The previously incessant talking disciple from the Heaven and Earth Gang also shut up, his comical expression frozen on his face.

How exactly did he clear the level?

Long Yan’s maneuver left everyone present dumbfounded.

What kind of move was that?

Clearly, Xiao Tong was the first to react, but even he didn’t know what to say.

Should they consider Long Yan passed, even though he didn’t withstand the arrow rain?

However, if they didn’t let him pass, it was true that the arrow rain hadn’t actually harmed him.

For a while, Xiao Tong was tangled in indecision, while the audience on the platform remained silent as well.

Although they couldn’t see the intricacies, Long Yan had indeed dodged the second wave of arrow rain, and now, he was on par with Ouyang Zhen.

However, Long Yan was only slightly out of breath, a stark contrast to the drenched appearance of Ouyang Zhen.

The person who had earlier spoken ill of Long Yan also closed his mouth and vanished into the crowd.

People are like that, fearing the strong but despising the weak; if you show your strength, they would turn around and try to flatter you instead.

Obviously, Long Yan paid no attention to that person, simply waiting quietly for Xiao Tong’s judgment, and also for the challenge of the next wave of arrow rain.

Xiao Tong was also very anxious.

What exactly should be done about this situation?

Just then, a voice sounded by his ear.

“Let him pass, the Great Formation has been maintained with True Qi.”

He recognized the voice, too familiar— it was his own Master, the lord of Green Vine Mountain, Feng Tianlu; an old man on the mountain peak with an immortal’s presence.

The old man’s surrounding True Qi fluctuations had reached a certain Realm, already internalized within his body.

His straight back didn’t show his age, and especially those bright eyes seemed to shoot out two rays of Golden Light through the clouds beneath his feet.

This old man was Feng Tianlu, who had been watching the competition below the mountainside.

Seeing Long Yan cleverly breaking through his Great Formation by exploiting the connecting points, he burst into laughter.

“This kid is truly different from Tian Shu and Zhou Xuantong.”

Murmuring softly, Feng Tianlu continued to watch the competition in the middle of the mountainside.

“You have passed the Second Level.

Do you wish to try the Third Level?”

Xiao Tong asked loudly, having repaired the Great Formation with True Qi.

If Long Yan agreed, the test for the third wave could proceed immediately.

Suddenly, a streak of Purple Light slashed across the Sky, and Long Yan’s pupils turned golden.

Looking at the Great Formation again, there was a layer of purple True Qi sealing the middle connecting points, obviously to prevent Long Yan from taking any shortcuts.

“Of course.”

Long Yan’s answer was still firm; even though he couldn’t pass effortlessly, it didn’t mean Long Yan lacked the ability to get through.

Xiao Tong cautiously observed Long Yan.

“Are you sure you want to try?”

He was aware of the power of the third wave, so he confirmed it once more; after all, this was no joking matter.

“Of course.”

Long Yan’s response was just as resolute.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Tong said nothing more, merely using his True Qi to activate the Great Formation and initiating the third wave of arrow rain.

The arrow rain that had materialized in the air turned ghastly purple, its power several times greater than the previous wave of arrow rain.

Each one carried a soul-snatching Breath, and as the arrow rain continuously gathered, the surrounding True Qi fluctuations became wildly chaotic.

Long Yan still displayed no sense of fear.

The Magic Gun appeared in his hand, and this time, the arrow rain didn’t immediately fall but kept gathering in the Sky—ten, a hundred, a thousand.

Yet it wasn’t over, the arrows in the air continued to gather, not ceasing until their number was enough to block out the sun.

Never mind the power of each individual arrow; just the sheer number was enough to turn a person into a hedgehog.

The dense arrow rain obscured the sunlight, and Ouyang Zhen couldn’t help but feel a tinge of relief in his heart.

It was good that he did not continue to try the third wave; the sheer volume alone was shivering to merely observe, let alone being the target of these sharp arrows, like Long Yan.
