Chapter 946: Thousand Star Array

As for the villagers, they stopped not far away from the statue and didn’t intend to press any further.

Behind, someone whispered, “Do you really think the new guy from the Thug Academy can crack the mysteries of the array?”

Someone shook his head. “That’s impossible. He can’t crack it unless he gets all the 99 Sea Tokens.”

Someone remarked, “I wish he could. I don’t want to stay in this sh*thole any longer. The spiritual energy is so thin that I can’t even cultivate.”

...

While everybody commented with mixed feelings, Han Fei stood next to the lake, and the three experts of the Heavenly Sword Sect all rose.

Someone said, “Jiang Chao, who is he?”

Jiang Chao smiled. “Can’t you tell?”

One of the three people was a woman, who said indifferently, “Is he here to compete for the Sea Quelling Painting?”

Yang Xie sneered. “Why? You’re unwilling to give it away? What have you found after such a long time?”

Jiang Chao smiled. “You’re no longer qualified.”

Someone said coldly, “Even if we aren’t, why do you think he is?”

Han Fei smiled casually. “Why don’t you check if I’m qualified?”

Swish!

A glittering sword that was too fast to be caught by the naked eye slashed at Han Fei.

However, Han Fei made use of the Draw Technique immediately.

The weapon emitted golden light and slashed the sword aura apart. Then, it moved forward towards the man.

Clang!

The man’s pupils contracted, and he only managed to endure Han Fei’s Draw Technique by launching three sword auras in a row.

What made him feel even more awful was that he used seventy percent of his spiritual energy to deal with Han Fei’s attack. How horrifying was that?

The man became solemn.

In the outside world, they might be able to fight Han Fei, but here, it was already incredible to keep their spiritual energy succulent. Han Fei’s attack was too much for them to endure.

The disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect said unemotionally, “You must’ve used at least seventy percent of your spiritual energy, if not all of it. How many more of these attacks can you perform?”

Shua!

Another saber aura was launched towards them.

The female Heavenly Talent from the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t expect Han Fei to be so brutal as to launch an attack without hesitation...

“Three Thousand Swords!”

A torrent of swords surged out. It was exactly like Wuming’s performance of Three Thousand Swords.

Han Fei said in disdain, “I have inexhaustible spiritual energy. The last guy, do you want to have a try?”

The third disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked awful. He sensed the rising spiritual energy in Han Fei’s body. Did the terrifying attack actually cost only a tiny bit of spiritual energy?

Jiang Chao and Yang Dao looked at Han Fei in surprise too. They both saw how powerful the Draw Technique was. Even so, it was still unreasonable that Han Fei attacked so many times.

Han Fei announced intimidatingly, “After you go out, ask your fellows in the other sects about me. I’ve beaten all of them. Not just the three of you, even if there are thirty of you, I would still crush you. Get out of here if you’re smart.”

The woman said coldly, “You’re only taking advantage of our lack of spiritual energy!”

Han Fei opened his hands in disdain. “Here are three spiritual fruits and three energy fruits. I’ll give you an opportunity to refill your spiritual energy and then fight me, but I won’t show you any mercy. Are you up for it?”

Yang Xie grinned. His Junior Brother seemed quite domineering! But why did he live his personality so much?

Jiang Chao put on a gloating smile too and said unhurriedly, “You have a chance. If you don’t fight Han Fei, you can fight me or Yang Xie. Do you dare to?”

The three Heavenly Talents from the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at each other.

Although Han Fei probably had more spiritual energy as a newcomer, considering how he launched two attacks in a row, he couldn’t be weak at all.

Also, Han Fei was the first one to arrive at the village, which meant that he was probably the strongest competitor for the Sea Quelling Painting.

The last Heavenly Talent of the Heavenly Sword Sect said indifferently, “Fine! Since you’ve passed the mist of the Nine Sounds safely, let’s see if you’re capable of resolving the Thousand Star Array!”

Han Fei launched the Draw Technique with the Blood-Drinking Knife again glamorously.

The man hurriedly waved his sword and finally managed to resist Han Fei’s Draw Technique with two tides of swords.

The man asked coldly, “What’s the meaning of this?”

Han Fei observed them and said, “I’m told that the three men of the Heavenly Sword Sect have all passed the mist of Nine Sounds, so you must carry some luck with you. I intend to beat you and borrow your luck. Do you have a problem with that?”

Han Fei attacked again only because the three men were as cold as robots.

Behind the statue, many people were dumbfounded.

All that Han Fei had revealed so far was absolute dominance.

Everybody knew that the three people were top experts, yet they had been crushed by a newcomer with one attack. This shocking fact made all the villagers consider his worth.

In the eyes of the ordinary people and the kids, it meant something else: that man was so strong that he had beaten their grandparents so easily.

Jiang Chao was quite shocked too. He had been trapped here for years. If Han Fei were his opponent, he probably couldn’t endure the three attacks either.

Yang Xie’s eyes flashed. “Junior Brother, what path are you on? It’s so majestic and domineering. Could it be...”

Jiang Chao added, “A path of invincibility?”

Han Fei grinned. “Senior Uncle, Senior Brother, you have keen eyes.”

Immediately, they rolled their eyes. They had never seen anyone on the path of invincibility in their entire life. Yet, the Thug Academy had groomed a student that walked on that path.

This time, both Jiang Chao and Yang Xie saw hope.

The path of invincibility! If anyone with the talent for the path of invincibility couldn’t subdue the Sea Quelling Painting, nobody could!

...

In the evening.

The sun had fallen.

In the sky, the stars appeared again.

Jiang Chao said, “Han Fei, look at the reflection of the stars in the lake.”

Yang Xie added, “Junior brother, the stars are very weird. It’s not exactly an array. We’ve seen 36 different combinations of the stars over the years.”

Han Fei said, “Senior Uncle, Senior Brother, let me think for a moment.”

Han Fei and Ren Tianfen had already studied it when they were out. Not just the 36 combinations, Han Fei even saw the 28 Mansions and the Eight Diagrams in them.

Jiang Chao and Yang Xie didn’t disturb him. Since Han Fei said this, they would rather believe that he had some confidence.

As a matter of fact, Han Fei was baffled. He was observing carefully in the sky.

In the sky, the distributions of stars were different.

At this moment, from Han Fei’s perspective, he saw a collection of stars in the middle of the war that was made of more than eighty visible stars. Han Fei drew with his fingers but didn’t achieve anything.

He tried building arrays with spiritual energy, only to no avail.

“Let me try a different position.”

Han Fei changed to another perspective. As expected, the stars looked different in the center. It became a collection of 93 visible stars. He tried all the methods again but they didn’t work out either.

Time ticked one second after another. Three hours later, Yang Xie couldn’t help but ask, “Junior Brother, have you found anything?”

Han Fei said, “Senior Brother, don’t be hasty. I need more time.”

At this moment, Han Fei was searching for the star that Ren Tianfen pointed out, but he couldn’t find it.

That star didn’t seem to be among them. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Noᴠelꜰire

The collection of stars were quite messy, and there were abundant stars. However, it was still uncanny that the star was invisible. After all, he saw it easily on the Sea Quelling Painting earlier.

After repetitive experiments, Han Fei was pretty sure that the star wasn’t reflected in the lake.

At first, Han Fei had planned to pick the star from the lake. He wanted to see if it worked.

But in fact, he didn’t even have the chance to pick the star, as it was not reflected in the water at all. Did he have to fetch it from the sky?

Han Fei didn’t think it was possible. He couldn’t fly to the sky at all!

Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Uncle, Senior Brother, do you realize that there is one fewer star in the lake than there is in the sky?”

“Huh?”

Jiang Chao was lost for words. “Han Fei, are you serious? There are so many stars in the sky. Can you really tell that one of them is missing?”

Yang Xie frowned. “Junior Brother, have you noticed anything? Which star is missing?”

How could Han Fei tell?

The starry sky was too vast, and he could only point at the rough location of the star instead of its specific coordinates. However, should he tell them that the star’s color would change?

Han Fei decided that he would rather not. Even if they knew that one star was missing, what could they do?

Han Fei said, “Maybe I was mistaken. Hey, Senior Uncle and Senior Brother, you’ve been here for years. Have you seen anyone who keeps flying high into the sky?”

Jiang Chao shook his head. “No. As long as you come to this floating island, it’s impossible to leave. Everybody has tried to leave through the air, but you’ll touch a barrier after flying two thousand meters high. You cannot fly any higher.”

Han Fei nodded. “Give me another minute!”

Han Fei adopted a process of elimination.

If the stars of the five elements corresponded with the five legendary experts, what did the Eight Diagrams that he saw correspond to?
