Chapter 106: Things Are Getting Interesting Now

Initially, a new record on the Ten Formations Stele wasn’t something trial disciples of the five peaks would be concerned about.
That was because everyone knew that it must have been broken by Zhong Wen and because of that, they were already used to it.
However, when they heard that the new record was broken by an unknown, mysterious disciple, it piqued everyone’s curiosity.
Following that, news spread of how Zhong Wen had returned to challenge the pagoda once more but he still lost to the mysterious challenger. Right now, it was his third attempt and the outcome was unknown.
A clash between two top geniuses of Array Peak was akin to the year end Array Peak face-off being brought forward!
It wasn’t just the young and inquisitive trial disciples who were interested, even the five peak masters were aroused with slight curiosity.
The number of people gathered before the Ten Formations Pagoda was increasing as time went on!
The light was a little blinding.
Before anyone knew it, Elder Luo was already standing up and looking at Level 7 with a blank look of disbelief.
The atmosphere in front of the Ten Formations Pagoda had turned extremely strange.
No one spoke.
Everyone was mesmerized by the light coming from Level 7 that they forgot to breathe; it was as though they had lost their souls.
Zhong Wen’s expression changed a couple of times before settling on an ashen look with a dim gaze.
He had lost.
He had lost completely!
Right then, he tried countless times to muster his courage and gather his confidence, but he couldn’t do it!
The shining light of Level 7 gave him a pressure that no one could understand!
It was a pressure called despair.
He knew better than any other disciples among the five peaks about the obscurity of Grade 2 formations. Even that mysterious challenger had spent an entire two days and nights before deducing his way to clear Level 7.
However, a clear was a clear.
Yet, Zhong Wen was completely lost in the face of Level 7’s formation. He was trapped by the illusion formation and could not locate any loopholes of it at all.
In fact, he could not last for more than four hours within Level 7.
If he continued to stay on, there was a high chance he would suffer irrecoverable damage to his psyche.
“Ugh.”
Sighing sadly, Zhong Wen turned around and mumbled to himself despondently, “I’ve got no chance of surpassing him.”
“You do.”
Right then, a warm voice rang out beside Zhong Wen.
Zhong Wen looked up.
Out of nowhere, Array Peak’s master, Xuan Yi, had appeared and was standing not far away, smiling and looking at him encouragingly.
When he met with that gaze, Zhong Wen shuddered and the haze within his heart dispersed, allowing him to see the light once more.
Taking a deep breath of air, Zhong Wen nodded his head and replied deeply, “Don’t worry, master. I won’t be defeated that easily. I’ll be back once more!”
“Well done. That’s more like my disciple.”
With his confidence regained, Zhong Wen left the Ten Formations Pagoda once more.
Xuan Yi looked at the fading Level 7 light and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He floated towards Elder Luo and set up a soundproof barrier with the wave of his hand, asking, “Who is inside? When did someone like that appear in our Array Peak?”
“That lad… is not from our peak,” Elder Luo chuckled bitterly and shook his head.
“Hmm?”
Xuan Yi frowned and asked, “What’s his name?”
“Su Zimo.”
Xuan Yi’s heart skipped a beat and his expression turned odd.
Sensing the change in Xuan Yi’s expression, Elder Luo asked, “Why? You know that person? His name does sound somewhat familiar, as though I’ve heard it somewhere.”
Xuan Yi did not reply him. He seemed to have thought of something fun as he smiled. “Things are getting interesting now.”
