Chapter 775: Chapter 776: Remarkable

Above the very center of the Trial Land, within the palace, there was a silence as still as death, eerily quiet.

Xu Siyuan stared blankly at the screen, displaying the current state of affairs, and then, with a stiff turn of his head, looked towards a floating image next to him in the air.

The image beside him showed the status of each city’s Array in the entire Trial Land.

On the screen, which resembled a miniature map, deep blue light points twinkled like stars, enchantingly beautiful.

However, among this cluster of azure light points, a pale yellow light point suddenly appeared, looking particularly jarring.

“Impossible to transform!”

Xu Siyuan’s earlier confident statement seemed still to echo in everyone’s ears; he had been adamant that Lin Qian absolutely could not have transformed the Array.

The structure of the Array had been reinforced by him, Lin Qian had no starting point to work from.

But not long after these words were spoken, his opponent had merrily slapped back, and Xu Siyuan couldn’t even dodge; he could only accept it honestly.

“How can this be, it doesn’t make sense, why is this happening?” At this moment, Xu Siyuan, who was completely clueless about the situation, looked blankly at the image in front of him, trying to find the reason why the Array had been successfully transformed.

After he carefully observed the Array’s previous operating process, he gasped in shock, rendered speechless.

“What on earth is this?” What appeared before Xu Siyuan was the operating process of the Array virus.

He could clearly see an unknown force of the Array within his own creation, a magical force that continuously assimilated the structure of the Array, making the Array he had set up gradually become a part of it.

Then, his own Array was controlled by this force, slowly changing in the direction that the other side wanted.

This kind of method was simply inconceivable, unheard of.

Therefore, Xu Siyuan was completely stunned, intently staring at the content displayed on the image before him, without shifting his gaze for even a moment.

At this moment, he had completely fallen into the mysterious ability of this Array virus, completely oblivious to his surroundings. He had also completely put aside the previous belittling of his Array by Lin Qian; what could be more important than the Array?

The middle-aged man and the old man exchanged glances and looked in Xu Siyuan’s direction.

They hadn’t expected that Lin Qian would actually do it, with the Array having entered such a state, transforming it would be extremely difficult.

At least with Lin Qian’s Realm and age, with their perspective, unless he was a truly rare genius in the Array field, it would be impossible for him to achieve this.

But they would never have imagined that behind Lin Qian there was the backing of a terrifyingly massive brain trust like the Heavenly Art Department, nor could they have predicted that his wife, Ye Xin, was a rare talent in the world.

In the large city where Lin Qian was, everyone gathered in the square, and Kuang Zhan looked up at the Array barrier, which had completely changed, brimming with curiosity: “Your Majesty, has this Array really been transformed already?”

In response to Kuang Zhan’s question, Ye Xin on the other side actually smiled and nodded, “Yes, this Array has been completely transformed successfully. The defense alone has become ten times stronger than the previous Array.”

“`

“Cough, cough!”

Ye Xin’s words left everyone dumbfounded. For a moment, no one could react. Some even choked on their saliva, coughing violently.

The city’s Array was not something that could be easily broken through. Especially for people like Lan Yunfeng, they had expended considerable effort cracking the Array in the past.

Such a formidable Array, under Ye Xin’s hands, had its defense strength increased tenfold—an astonishing feat.

Lan Yunfeng pondered to himself that if the Array’s barrier was truly enhanced tenfold, in the event of a real siege, even if they could break through, the losses would likely be heavy.

And this didn’t yet account for the soul soldiers defending within the city, who would launch their attacks.

Because the city’s Array barrier itself possessed a rebound ability, forcefully attacking it would trigger such a rebound force.

If one wasn’t careful, they might even be struck dead by this rebounding force.

“In addition to this, the Array also has offensive capabilities. The prior rebound ability has vanished and, in its place, is the continuous absorption of Soul Energy attacking the Array barrier, stored for repairing damage to the Array.”

“At the same time, this stored Soul Energy transforms into offensive power, attacking those sieging from outside the city.”

As she spoke, Ye Xin waved her hand towards the sky, and everyone clearly saw the city’s Array barrier ripple. A blade formed from condensed Soul Energy surged out, sweeping towards the distance.

The aura exuding from that Soul Energy blade, even when observed from within the city, was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

“This Array is not just this simple. When soul soldiers from within the Array attack, as they pass through the barrier, they receive an enhancement. The strength of their attacks will suddenly strengthen by more than double.”

Ye Xin spoke confidently, but Lan Yunfeng and the others couldn’t help but swallow hard, their hearts racing with fear.

“If during the Second Level phase of the Trial, we encounter city Array barriers of this strength, I’m afraid that in a whole year’s time, managing to conquer ten cities would already be quite the accomplishment,” Lan Yunfeng said with a bitter smile.

On the other side, Kuang Zhan nodded incessantly, “This Array can even store the Soul Energy of the attacks against it for repairs—that’s the most heaven-defying capability.”

“Just thinking about it gives me a headache. The attacks that one exhausts themselves to deliver end up benefiting someone else. Does this Array have no weaknesses at all?”

In response to Kuang Zhan’s question, Ye Xin smiled gently and spoke softly, “Of course, there are weaknesses. No matter the Array, as long as it exists, it certainly has its flaws, and this Array is no exception.”

“The weakness of this Array is that its offensive capability is slightly inferior when defending. You’ve just witnessed the blade attack, which is practically useless against people of your strength.”

Ye Xin’s casual remark left Lan Yunfeng and Kuang Zhan twitching at the corners of their mouths, at a loss for words.

It’s useless against our level of strength? What kind of weakness is that? In the entire Trial Land, those who possess our level of power could be counted on one’s fingers.

For others, such a blade attack would be truly terrifying.

Watching this daughter of the clan’s princess, Lan Yunfeng felt a sense of admiration in his heart, “Remarkable, indeed.”
