Chapter 814 - 273: The Mysterious Handsome Man in the Mirror (Part 2)

Battle technique markings!

Yes!

The clock’s face has many densely packed markings, at first glance they seem like ordinary decorations.

But upon closer inspection, they are clearly profound battle techniques.

Speaking of battle techniques, Su Yue thought of the Jiangyuan National Research Institute.

If it weren’t for the Grandmaster Chain’s research, he wouldn’t have noticed the clock’s peculiarity.

Knowledge is power, indeed correct.

"Junior sister, the dusk clock is the mentor’s life, quickly put it down, don’t damage it!"

Lu Xiliang’s face turned ashen with fright.

Sima Lingling was playing with fire, even the cleaning staff didn’t dare touch the dusk clock during routine cleaning.

"Su Yue, can you do me a favor?"

Sima Lingling ignored Lu Xiliang and looked at Su Yue asking.

"Sure, I will do my utmost!"

Su Yue nodded.

Sima Lingling had always been good to him, he had no reason to refuse.

"It’s called the dusk clock, an auxiliary sacred artifact, but its durability has reached its limit. To keep it going, the clock nucleus inside must be activated.

"But the dusk clock’s nucleus is a Yangxiang Race’s demon artifact, very fragile, it must be a young person who does it.

"After much thought, only you can try.

"Don’t be too stressed, there’s a 90% chance of failure. I’m just asking you to give it a try!"

"Don’t underestimate this antique clock, when it burst out fully in the past, it was deemed heaven-defying."

Sima Lingling briefly introduced the dusk clock.

"I know this sacred artifact, the Twilight of the Gods... isn’t it!"

Su Yue’s heart raced.

No wonder, the battle technique markings on the clock are so intricate, comparable with the Grandmaster Chain.

So it was the dusk clock.

Su Yue had read about it in a very niche book.

When activated, the dusk clock forms an absolute defense energy shield for the Martial Artist that even a Ninth Grade can’t break through.

Of course, everyone knows, the more heaven-defying the sacred artifact, the harder it is to wield.

This dusk clock in history seems to have hardly been activated.

This supreme auxiliary sacred artifact still exists.

Absolute Defense!

Ignoring any damage, although only lasts a few seconds, you are truly invincible.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

"It’s the Twilight of the Gods, not the End of the Gods, Su Yue be precise!

"Junior sister, I disagree with Su Yue activating the dusk clock.

"The clock nucleus is near collapsing, if Su Yue fails, all will be lost, the dusk clock will immediately shatter.

"Even assuming Su Yue succeeds, then what?

"There’s no clock keeper, no 50 auxiliary Martial Artists to activate the sacred artifact, what’s the use of activating it?

"Don’t bother, let the sacred artifact perish naturally, that’s its fate."

Lu Xiliang frowned and said.

"If the clock nucleus can be activated, the dusk clock can hold out for a year or half, that’s the mentor’s obsession, we should give it a try!"

Sima Lingling knew Lu Xiliang would object, she calmly shook her head.

"Junior sister, you’ve been stubborn your whole life, listen to me this time, don’t bother!

"I admit, Su Yue and I are both outstanding, exceptionally talented, clearly extraordinary individuals. But many have failed, Su Yue is unlikely to succeed either."

Lu Xiliang shook his head helplessly.

Sima Lingling’s character was too stubborn.

Lu Xiliang tried it back then, but he failed.

Therefore, Lu Xiliang didn’t believe anyone else could activate it either.

The clock nucleus is a very fragile component, as time goes by, it only becomes more fragile.

A long time ago, the difficulty for a Martial Artist to activate the clock nucleus was completely different from now.

By tradition, back then, Lu Xiliang could have activated it.

But precisely because the years passed, the clock nucleus became increasingly fragile, that’s why he failed.

Even back then I didn’t succeed, now Su Yue faces even greater pressure, to the point Lu Xiliang couldn’t even imagine.

It truly would shatter at a touch.

"Hmm, I agree with Mentor Lu Xiliang."

Su Yue nodded solemnly.

"See, even Su Yue agreed, he doesn’t dare bear such responsibility."

Lu Xiliang exhaled deeply.

Sima Lingling, so stubborn, ten bulls couldn’t pull her back.

But Su Yue didn’t agree, he had no way.

There’s really no need to bother.

"I agree with you that I stand out and am extremely talented, it’s a fact. But sorry, I don’t agree to give up on activating the clock nucleus."

Su Yue grinned slightly.

This old handsome guy, really likes to speak the truth!

"Hmph!"

Sima Lingling was also startled by Su Yue.

But then, she sneered.

Lu Xiliang was shameless enough, Su Yue’s thick skin surpassed his.

The two complement each other, not even being grossed out.

"Su Yue, activating the clock nucleus is actually not complicated.

"You just need to analyze the most suitable activation mechanism based on the battle technique markings on the clock face, and the clock nucleus can only be sensed with Qi Blood, I can’t help much!

"It might be very labor-intensive, but I can only ask you for help.

"Just do your best!"

Sima Lingling nodded to Su Yue.

Activating the clock nucleus, there’s no specific routine, it’s entirely up to the Martial Artist to comprehend the method.

That’s the real difficulty.

The activation method for one, doesn’t work for another.

No choice, as time passes, the clock nucleus requires the activator to continually adjust the activation method.

Like Lu Xiliang, countless Martial Artists have failed to activate.

"Teacher, wait for me a moment, I’ll be right back!"

Su Yue thought for a bit, then dashed off!
