Standing in front of the Anti-Eight Trigrams Array, Shao Long had no idea that Shao He and others were secretly observing him.
Because at this moment, he focused all his attention on the Anti-Eight Trigrams Array itself...
"Sure enough, it's just an ordinary Anti-Eight Trigrams Array!"
After confirming this, he glanced back at those youngsters and noticed they were all watching him with unmatched zeal...
"This feeling of being the center of attention is really freaking awesome!"
While admiringly excited, Shao Long coughed and, like an expert, pointed ahead and arrogantly spoke up again!
"For an Anti-Eight Trigrams Array modified from the basis of the Eight Trigrams Array, the general method of breaking it is to find either the Life Gate or the Death Gate."
Hearing Shao Long's explanation, they nodded attentively...
"These guys may be useless, but their respectful attitude toward me is indeed quite nice!"
Seeing their excited expressions, Shao Long muttered to himself!
Soon, Shao Long continued, "Take this array for instance; we also need to find the Life Gate! The Life Gate of this array is right here, by this willow tree!"
After saying this, Shao Long stretched out his hand, pointing to a lush, green willow tree not too far away...
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves of the willow tree to sway softly...
Hearing Shao Long's confident proclamation, everyone turned to look at the large, verdant tree.
"But... this willow tree doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it!"
The youngsters scrutinized the tree for a few moments and then whispered to each other...
The reason they murmured was that they really couldn't find a single issue with the tree.
That's why they couldn't help but start doubting whether what Shao Long said was true!
Laymen enjoy the spectacle, while experts observe the details!
A short distance away, standing next to Shao He, several men dressed in black slightly narrowed their eyes.
Earlier, after arriving here, they identified the array as an Anti-Eight Trigrams Array.
After recognizing it, they began searching for flaws in the array.
They found them quickly.
Now, they realized that the flaw they found was the same as the one Shao Long had found.
That is to say, Shao Long's strength in arrays was really not much different from their own.
"It seems that this Shao Long really is a genius in arrays for the Shao Family!"
This thought came to mind, and they watched Shao Long intently...
Sensing their change, Shao He's gaze grew even more murderous...
At the array, Shao Long looked at the youngsters with a face full of sarcasm and said coldly, "It's normal for you not to see; if you could, then this Anti-Eight Trigrams Array would be useless!" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Having said that, Shao Long walked proudly toward the swaying willow tree.
Walking, Shao Long confidently said...
"Now, all of you, don't blink. Soon, you'll see me pass from this side of the tree to that side, because this willow tree is not real, it's an illusion!"
With these words, Shao Long quickened his pace under everyone's gaze...
Everyone was staring with wide eyes...
They were all waiting to see Shao Long directly pass through the tree!
Soon, a 'bang' was heard by everyone...
Hearing that deep sound, everyone present knew something must have gone wrong!
With this thought, they all quickly looked attentively...
Soon, everyone was dumbfounded...
Because at that moment, they saw Shao Long, who had been so sure of himself about passing through the tree, sitting on the ground in an awkward heap, dazedly staring ahead...
The dumbstruck figure sitting on the ground had his entire forehead swollen!
"Guaiguai, what the heck happened!"
"Could it be that he botched it?"
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Because they really hadn't anticipated such a scenario, since Shao Long had been acting so confident just a moment ago!
"What the hell is going on here?"
Shao Long stared intently at the tree!
He truly was flabbergasted right now!
He was sure that the spot he had approached before was definitely the flaw in the Anti-Bagua Formation!
So, under normal circumstances, he should have been able to breeze through that tree and break the Anti-Bagua Formation.
But in reality, he was sitting on the ground like an idiot, dumbly in a daze!
He couldn't accept it; he couldn't accept it at all.
Actually, it wasn't just him who couldn't.
The young people behind him couldn't accept it either.
Just now, Shao Long had claimed that he could break the array in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
This extreme confidence made their admiration for Shao Long grow even deeper.
But now, Shao Long hadn't managed to do that at all, which naturally made those people admire him a lot less...
"Ah, it seems like he's not so effective after all!"
In the crowd, the girl who had gone to call Shao Long squinted her eyes and wore a face full of mockery...
To be honest, she really enjoyed seeing Shao Long fail...
Far away, Shao He glanced at the dazed Shao Long and furrowed his brows!
He hadn't anticipated Shao Long's failure before!
In his opinion, Shao Long breaking such an array should have been simple...
But now, everything was different from what he had thought...
After looking at Shao Long again, Shao He turned to the four men in black standing beside him.
Soon, Shao He hoarsely asked, "Do you know what happened? Could it be that Shao Long didn't find the flaw in the Anti-Bagua Formation just now?"
Shao He's question made the four men slightly frown.
Quickly, they exchanged glances.
At that moment, the one closest to Shao He spoke softly.
"Shao Family Head, just now, Shao Long from your family indeed found the flaw in the Anti-Bagua Formation, so, logically, the formation should have been easily broken, but it hasn't been. This implies that the formation isn't as simple as it seems. Could it be that the Bai Family has an Array Master we don't know about?"
Hearing this question, Shao He was stunned for a moment, soon vigorously shaking his head like a rattle.
After finishing, Shao He quickly said, "That's simply impossible. The Bai Family doesn't have any competent Array Masters, and even their best, Bai Yan, was thrown out by Shao Long hundreds of meters away, so they definitely couldn't have arranged a very powerful array!"
Hearing Shao He's emphatic statement, the four men frowned again.
They knew Shao He was right!
The young people of the Bai Family indeed weren't accomplished in arrays, so they really couldn't devise anything too sophisticated.
Having confirmed this, they hoarsely said, "Shao Family Head, let's not be hasty, let's continue to watch!"
"Now that's all we can do!"
After saying this, the five people once again turned their attention to Shao Long.
They wanted to know if Shao Long could still adapt to the situation.
They also wanted to take a good look to see if the array had even more bizarre changes...
Inside the woods, Bai Mengmeng looked at Shao Long, whose forehead was swollen, and said softly with some sympathy, "Ah, Shao Long must be in so much pain right now!"
Hearing Bai Mengmeng's words, Hu Xiaobei chuckled.
Soon after, Hu Xiaobei said with a light laugh, "It's okay! He's a young guy! Hitting a few bumps will teach him a lesson!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Bai Mengmeng blinked her watery big eyes in surprise and quickly asked curiously, "Hitting a few bumps? Xiaobei, do you mean that... that he will continue to run into it? That shouldn't be possible, right?"
Shrugging lightly, Hu Xiaobei straightforwardly said, "Why not? This is just the beginning. In a while, he'll definitely bump into it a few more times! So, we might as well just wait and watch quietly!"
"Of course, just keep watching, the show has only just begun!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei watched with a beaming smile. Hu Xiaobei knew that Shao Long definitely couldn't stomach the setback, so he would keep trying and, naturally, keep hitting snags...
