Chapter 105 - Turbulent Undercurrent
A new record for the Ten Formations Pagoda was born.
It was so sudden, unexpected and shocking.
This was supposed to be the most ordinary day on Array Peak.
However, everything changed the moment Level 6 lit up.
The birth of a new record also implied that Zhong Wen was dethroned from his number one status in Array Peak from this moment.
Many Array Peak disciples turned to look at Zhong Wen subconsciously.
His expression was extremely ugly as he glared fiercely at Level 6. Because he was gripping his fists so tightly, both his arms were shivering in rage.
The many Array Peak disciples sighed.
Before long, Zhong Wen was sent out of the Ten Formations Pagoda and he glanced at the Ten Formations Pagoda.
The first row of the Ten Formations Stele shone brightly. Even though it was still his name, the words at the back had changed.
“Zhong Wen, cleared Level 6, 1 hour 15 minutes!”
Looking at the Ten Formations Stele, Zhong Wen frowned and asked around, “That person is not out yet?”
“That’s right,” One of the disciples yawned and replied listlessly.
The record on the Ten Formations Stele would only be updated when the challenger left the Ten Formations Pagoda.
That mysterious person who had cleared Level 6 merely took an hour, faster than Zhong Wen. However, for Zhong Wen’s name to still be on the Ten Formations Stele, that meant that the challenger was still inside the Ten Formations Pagoda!
“That person has lasted for so long in Level 7?”
Zhong Wen scoffed coldly internally, “Let’s see how long more you can hold out.”
Taking one last look at the Ten Formations Stele, Zhong Wen left.
The difference between the both of them wasn’t great at merely 15 minutes. He had the confidence of surpassing that challenger during his next challenge of the Ten Formations Pagoda!
Many Array Peak disciples could not wait any longer and chose to head back and rest for the night before returning the next morning.
Some of the disciples who were unwilling to give up remained waiting, bent on witnessing the person who created the new record.
Yet another night passed.
By now, the disciples that were waiting outside the Ten Formations Pagoda were in a mess; some of them were asleep while others would open their eyes and look towards the Ten Formations Pagoda drowsily from time to time.
There was no activity in the Ten Formations Pagoda throughout the entire night.
The challenger had yet to appear.
Disciples who were impatient had already asked Elder Luo about who the person was and if he was still inside the Ten Formations Pagoda. However, Elder Luo merely shook his head and did not reveal the person’s identity, merely stating that the person was still within.
“That’s strange. How is that person not out yet? He’s already spent two whole nights in Level 7!”
“We’re already exhausted from just waiting and doing nothing. It’s hard to imagine how that person is going to survive while spending a great deal of effort on dispelling the formation.”
Right then, a disciple suddenly remarked, “Wait, aren’t there two other people in the Ten Formations Pagoda other than Senior Brother Zhong? Why is the other person not out yet?”
Suddenly, the discussions quietened down as everyone’s eyes flashed in bewilderment as though they had just recalled something frightening.
The presence of two individuals in the Ten Formations Pagoda was just their speculation.
The reason for that was because they could not believe that someone would be able to get through Level 4’s killing formation in such a short period of time.
But now, a more realistic possibility existed.
There was only one person inside the Ten Formations Pagoda!
That person had truly taken a few mere seconds to clear Level 4!
It was the same person who had created the new record!
The atmosphere in front of the Ten Formations Pagoda was stiff as no one spoke; it was as though an invisible arm had choked them into suffocating.
Right then, Zhong Wen arrived once more. He entered the Ten Formations Pagoda again, bent on breaking the record of the mysterious challenger.
This was already the morning of the third day.
In the past three days, events on Array Peak gradually spread among the five peaks.
A turbulent undercurrent was charging beneath the calm lake surface, ready to burst forth at any moment!
