Chapter 2031: Examination (3)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
This round was especially hard and the content of the examination was something that she didn’t expect. She thought that this Master had overestimated her when she learnt about the content of the examination.
Hu Hu came to the platform and said, “The requirement is very simple. There is a trapping array where you are, and you’ll have to get out of there. However, it will become a killing array if you activate a hidden array while you’re trying to break it!”
She understood the combination of the arrays. It wouldn’t be hard as long as she managed to find the pattern. However, she became depressed right after the array activated.
“It’s the imitation trapping array of the Ten Great Ancient Arrays! Master, do you really think that I’m that powerful?” She couldn’t help but curse. Those on the outside couldn’t hear what she was saying, but they could read her lips along with her expression and from there, they knew she was gloomy.
“Old Hu, how can you use the imitation of Ancient Arrays, aren’t you overdoing it?” He Lan frowned as she felt it was unfair for Sima You Yue.
“If she can’t get past this Ancient Array, what would she do if she got into one in the future?” Hu Hu continued, “Moreover, you know about her problems. If she goes to that place in the future, how can she protect herself if she doesn’t have the ability to? She will have to stay here and continue studying if she can’t pass it!”
When he said it like that, everyone else felt that it was reasonable as well.
“But she has to leave urgently….”
Although she didn’t look like she was in a rush as she had stayed and settled herself in, deep down, she was in a rush to save her Mother. This wasn’t a secret within the higher ranks of the Hidden Sect. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have agreed to let her take the examinations in such a short time.
At that time, they had a private discussion regarding Sima You Yue about her situation, background, growth and the things she did in Human Realm and Ghost Realm. They came to a conclusion that she should be the one that they had been waiting to bear the Mandate of Heaven.
As people from the upper class, they had the duty to nurture her growth so they had let her study in all sectors of the Sect. They also knew that she had a treasure that could slow down time, so they let her study many things in a short span of time.
Twenty years was two hundred years in Spirit Pagoda, so learning was easy in addition to her talent and foundation.
Also, they had predicted that she would have to leave when the chaos arrived as there were still a lot of things that were waiting for her.
Just the thought of being able to nurture her filled them with pride.
But before then, she might not even be able to pass the Array Sect’s examination.
Sima You Yue was walking around inside the Array and she felt that she was walking towards one direction, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was just walking to and fro in a small area.
She felt that the imitation of Ancient’s Array was intractable, as it was altered from the Ancient Arrays. It had the power of Ancient Arrays but it had more changes, which might make it much more powerful.
Hence, this was a combination array made by Hu Hu. She would be in trouble if she activated the killing array.
She was trapped and was in the danger of being killed. Furthermore, she could feel that the power of the killing array wasn’t any weaker than the trapping array.
Just the thought of it made her want to vomit blood. It was just an examination but her Master seemed like he wanted to kill her!
“Whoosh——”
The sound of wind swept past. She dodged and a spiritual energy swept past her ear, which damaged the skin on her ear. Her ear would be gone if it had been just a little nearer!
She actually activated the killing array!
Sima You Yue wanted to vomit blood. She was just figuring out the method to break the trapping array when she activated the killing array. So she now had to deal with the attack while trying to break the array. Most importantly, the attack was so abrupt that she didn’t even have the time and experience to break the array.
There was an uproar when they saw the attack of the killing array. The attack was too ferocious! It was impossible to withstand it with Sima You Yue’s level of strength!
“Old Hu, aren’t you overdoing it?” Those on the main platform started to worry as the attack was too ferocious.
Hu Hu laughed, all the worries he had were swept away.
“How can you laugh when You Yue is injured!” He Lan said with a sunken expression.
“Just watch.” Hu Hu didn’t want to explain much but his face was filled with smiles.
“Are there any tricks?”
They turned their attention back to Sima You Yue as they watched her being attacked with cuts and bruises all over her body as she tried to escape.
Those on the platform felt sorry for her. Their goddess was battered with serious injuries while trying to escape. All her reputation was all gone!
“Pop——”
She couldn’t dodge in time, and a metamorphosed long sword pierced into her shoulder just two fingers away from her heart. If it went a little lower…..
“Old Hu!” Ni Le was anxious, “She will die if this continues!”
“Shut the array down quickly!”
If that was the case, she would fail her examination.
“Don’t be anxious.” Hu Hu’s smile didn’t change, “It will be alright in a while.”
Alright? What would be alright? They didn’t see the chance of her breaking the array.
“Watch, the form is going to reverse soon!” Hu Hu said.
They wouldn’t play with Sima You Yue Yue’s life, they could only wait since he said that.
They waited anxiously with their hearts in their throats. Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait too long. Otherwise, their lives would have been shortened.
Sima You Yue was injured again as she was pierced on the other shoulder in the same place. She had a long sword on each of her shoulders with some broken arrows on her legs, with wounds everywhere on her body.
However, she smiled when she was pierced on her shoulders. Her smile was so confident and bright that it looked like nothing could stop her.
She would keep going to the level where no one ever had!
“Array, rise!”
With her frail voice, an array lighted up around her. The array wasn’t huge, but it protected her as it weakened the trapping array a lot.
“She actually fixed up an array while she was escaping!”
Everyone shouted in surprise. No one could tell that her messy steps were actually to draw an array.
“Old Hu, you knew about it all along!” Ni Le said.
Hu Hu smiled silently.
“Can this array resist your trapping array? The damage seemed to have dropped a lot.” Lu Yan asked.
“I think so too, it seems to be weaker.” He Lan said.
“It’s not that it could resist the trapping array. She just made an array with the pattern of trapping array and used some of the power of the trapping array to her advantage. With that, she could protect herself while weakening the attacks. After she rests a little, this array will be nothing to her..” Hu Hu explained to everyone.
