Wang Zhengyi seemed a little entranced.
But Yan Chuan was clear—
No one understood better than Yan Chuan why defending the arena was so effortless this time—it wasn’t due to luck, nor because of exotic treasures.
was "Mutual Teaching and Learning"!
"The moment Sun Gui Fen, Zhang Qin, and others were examining the ’Jiangguan Rainy Mist Map’, I expended my ’Experience’ to help them enter the state of ’Absolute Focus’, and with the unique traits of the [Mist Rain Stele], it was easy to immerse these Heavenly Pride contestants into the wonderful world of the ’Jiangguan Rainy Mist Map’, letting them solely comprehend, ignoring everything else, even forgetting the ongoing arena challenge."
This was originally an auxiliary function used to cooperate with "Mutual Teaching and Learning", allowing Yan Chuan to select one listener who could listen more attentively.
But used here, in conjunction with the [Mist Rain Stele], it unexpectedly formed a ’Arena Defense Skill’.
Relying on Experience to cheat.
Firstly, it could eliminate strong opponents.
Secondly, it allowed Wang Zhengyi to balance work and rest.
The rhythm of the competition was entirely under Yan Chuan’s control, and the intensity of arena attacks was entirely at Yan Chuan’s disposal.
This feeling was wonderful!
The Cang Mountain Sword Discussion was smooth sailing, with no more obstacles!
Victory was in sight! Thɪs chapter is updated by novèlfire.net
"This is what they call man’s plans cannot match heaven’s plans!"
"A clever move backfiring!"
Yang Wang said in a sarcastic tone.
But these words resonated with many.
High in the clouds, many Grandmasters didn’t necessarily believe that Emperor Yan would intentionally target a young genius, but considering that the First Tier award was indeed a real King City, they were half convinced and half skeptical.
Specifically, in this round of tests, they originally thought Yan Chuan would succumb to the temptation of the [Mist Rain Stele], thus immersing and falling into it, coming close to success but failing at the last moment, ultimately being knocked off the arena.
But who would’ve thought!
Yan Chuan was not only not tempted by the [Mist Rain Stele], but didn’t even take a second look, and was able to focus on defending the arena.
On the contrary, Sun Gui Fen, Zhang Qin, and others who attacked the arena, now and then, one or two would get their Minds seized by the [Mist Rain Stele], ignoring the main task of attacking, inappropriately immersing themselves in the comprehension of the [Mist Rain Stele], thereby giving Wang Zhengyi, and Yan Chuan more breathing space.
"The [Mist Rain Stele] not only didn’t affect Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi, but standing there, it actually helped them!"
Qian Lingyi couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.
Who could have thought it?
Under the harassment of ’Evil Qi’ and ’Demon Barrier’, the contestants at Chess Stone Peak had unstable Minds and fluctuating emotions. In such a scenario, the [Mist Rain Stele] seemed to have magic power, making them unable to take their eyes off it once they fixated on it.
However, among the twelve arenas, the twelve [Mist Rain Steles], in horizontal comparison, the one on Yan Chuan’s arena, the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele], was the most peculiar, even managing to immediately capture the attention of the contestants stepping onto the arena, immersing them in the ’Jiangguan Rainy Mist Map’, forgetting the important task of attacking the arena.
"Such situations are rarely seen at other arenas, only at the Hai Character Arena, only with the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele]!"
"Could it be that this [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele] is indeed different from the other [Mist Rain Steles]?"
Many Grandmasters couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Among the twelve [Mist Rain Steles] mastered by the Great Yan Court, it includes [Li River Misty Rain Stele], [Spring Mountain Misty Rain Stele], [Golden Bull Misty Rain Stele], etc., with nine Mist Rain Steles in total, and nine Mist Rain Maps from which Innate Grandmasters have comprehended First-grade Divine Skill and First-Grade Absolute Skill.
And the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele] just does not belong to this category.
Looking again at this time, the [Jiangguan Rainy Mist Map] differs from the other Mist Rain Steles and Mist Rain Maps in its uniqueness, even the Grandmasters were puzzled. Even Emperor Yan often glanced sideways.
From the perspective of the Innate.
The Grandmasters paid attention.
Time kept flowing, and the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele] continually immersed, continually enchanted, Yan Chuan, and Wang Zhengyi easily defended the arena.
Such a scene, quite unique.
Even the Heavenly Masters were drawn to the peculiarity of the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele] at the Hai Character Arena, unable to resist moving closer and closer, carefully observing the [Jiangguan Rainy Mist Map], trying to discern differences in comprehension, the Heavenly Pride contestants at Chess Stone Peak need not be mentioned.
Look at Chess Stone Peak.
Look at the Hai Character Arena.
With Sun Gui Fen, Zhang Qin as the leaders, more than ten people in total were at the arena being ’Soul Hooking and Soul Snatching’ by the [Jiangguan Rainy Mist Map], all having fallen into a wonderful state—
Sun Gui Fen felt that there was a special connection between her and the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele].
Otherwise, why would she, originally well-focused on attacking the arena, inexplicably be attracted by the [Jiangguan Rainy Mist Map]?
Otherwise, why did this [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele] attract her, and a very few others? Why not others?
"The stele has a spirit, searching for a master, selecting those with talent, ability, and destiny!"
"Am the first fated person!"
Sun Gui Fen recalled the special ’Resonance’ between her and the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele], increasingly convinced of her inner speculation.
Including Zhang Qin and more than ten others who subsequently gathered under the Hai Character Arena, fully engaged and focused in observing the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele], and delving into the [Jiangguan Rainy Mist Map].
There was no hurry for arena offense and defense.
They didn’t expect any big Arena Master Award, as long as they woke up in time on the last day to contend for the final ’Twelve Strong’, this Sword Discussion would be considered perfect.
Even the ultimate Twelve Champions, the Twelve Strong, those hopes were slim.
Rather than dreaming, it was better to use this time to study the [Jiangguan Misty Rain Stele] thoroughly; if they could gain some insight from it, it would be truly beneficial for life.
