I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1231 - Chapter 1231 Chapter 1233 Ring Array

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1233: Ring Array Chapter 1231: Chapter 1233: Ring Array Waves surged from within the Wine Lake, forming a massive palm, over ten meters tall in the air, and viciously slapped down towards the location of Song Jian.

Boom~

A loud explosion erupted as the wave-formed palm burst apart, the damage inflicted nearly comparable to the full force of a level hundred supreme boss. It left a deep palm imprint on the ground, and the ferocious power exploded from the center, the shockwave rippling outward in all directions, shearing off a thick layer from everything around like a typhoon had passed.

Song Jian’s Sword Shadow Clone was instantly killed by the strike, and several meters away, Song Jian furrowed his brows tightly, his cheeks twitching slightly, resembling someone with a toothache.

This strike was definitely more potent than the counterattack of the formation triggered by the disciple before, and its speed was also extremely fast. If Song Jian hadn’t been ready to handle the failure of the dissolution, he likely wouldn’t have had the time to deploy his Sword Shadow Clone and flee outward.

The other disciples looked toward Song Jian with mocking smiles on their faces, murmuring softly to each other and pointing in his direction.

Song Jian shook his head. It looked like his guess this time had failed. Not only had he triggered a counterattack from the formation, but he also gained very little proficiency in his Sword Array Atlas ability.

However, Song Jian didn’t give up and continued to walk toward his previous position, closing his eyes slightly. His Mental Strength probed forward like a tentacle, once again slowly reaching out towards the Wine Lake.

After a moment, Song Jian’s expression changed, and his body suddenly became translucent as he rapidly retreated into the distance. Meanwhile, he activated all the defensive skills that came with his equipment, with several Bone Shields revolving continuously around his body.

This time, the speed and power of the formation’s counterattack had increased significantly. Even though Song Jian had braced himself mentally, he was still fiercely struck by the palm formed from the lake’s water.

The defensive measures on Song Jian’s body had barely any effect, not offering even a second of resistance before shattering like paper under the colossal palm’s blow. The force then traveled through Song Jian’s body and viciously struck the ground below.

Song Jian took advantage of the almost complete immunity to physical attacks provided by the Soul Wander skill during its first three seconds to dodge this lethal strike!

“The power of the formation’s counterattack is growing stronger, but I seem to have a better grasp on that circular array. Next time, I will definitely find its true core!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Despite not finding any leads on the entire Wine Lake Array, it was a bit too much to say that Song Jian could not locate the core of a mere simple circular array, even after several attempts, with his expertise in formations.

“Junior brother, you won’t be able to break this grand array with brute force like this. Why not calm your mind and slowly comprehend it? Even if you can’t decipher it, it will still enhance your knowledge of formations!” Senior Guichuan from afar couldn’t help but call out loudly to advise.

“Yeah, with you doing it this way, we can’t even quiet our minds to comprehend it…”

“Stop messing around. Formations aren’t meant to be trifled with like this. Try some simpler formations instead. This Wine Lake Array is just too high-end for you!”

…

Song Jian ignored the persuasions and mockery from his fellow sect disciples and continued to probe the core of the array he had determined with a thread of Mental Strength.

As Song Jian’s Mental Strength once again stabbed into the core of the circular array, what was originally a single thread of Mental Strength suddenly transformed into seven or eight finer strands, spreading in all directions. A hint of a smile appeared on Song Jian’s lips; he had finally succeeded. He had found the core of this simple circular array.

However, what Song Jian did not expect was that when his Mental Strength sensed all the details of the array, it inadvertently triggered the surrounding arrays. This time, a tornado more than ten meters high rose directly from the center of Wine Lake, and a huge water giant coalesced, letting out an angry roar towards Song Jian, raising its right fist and smashing it down on him with ferocity.

Song Jian’s face changed dramatically, “Damn it, although I’ve cracked this array, it is connected with other formations, forming the Wine Lake Array. To break the Wine Lake Array, how could it be possible with just breaking the simplest array?”

This was a simple truth, but after Song Jian was certain of the critical point of this array, he was too eager to verify his thoughts, completely overlooking its connection to other arrays, which resulted in an even more intense counterattack from the Wine Lake Array.

Seeing the water giant condensing in the center of Wine Lake, the other disciples also changed their expressions dramatically. Although they were far from Song Jian, they still moved away towards a distant place immediately, muttering curses as they did so.

As the massive fist, resembling a small mountain, smashed towards him, Song Jian’s mind moved, and he disappeared in place, with even his breath vanishing without a trace.

Boom~

After a loud roar, the soil within tens of meters in diameter was blasted into the sky as mud rain, leaving a huge crater in its place. This made the other disciples who had taken cover in the distance mistakenly believe that Song Jian had perished, shaking their heads and sighing.

The water giant, having lost the presence of Song Jian, also lost the drive to continue its attack, and after standing still for a few seconds, it transformed back into rain, falling into Wine Lake.

Just when everyone believed Song Jian was dead, after the mud rain had fully settled, Song Jian’s figure reappeared before their eyes.

“How, how did he dodge that strike?” Gui Chuan gaped, unable to fathom how Song Jian had evaded that hit.

“It must be some kind of one-time defensive treasure, otherwise how could he be unharmed…”

“This lad, relying on his defensive treasure, is taking the Wine Lake Array way too lightly. If it weren’t for the senior’s specific instruction to collect some Jade Liquid Wine, I would absolutely turn around and leave. With him causing trouble here, it’s impossible to comprehend this Wine Lake Array with peace of mind!”

All of them watched Song Jian approach Wine Lake once more, shaking their heads and sighing, none stepping forward to comprehend the Wine Lake Array, all standing at a distance, looking at Song Jian.

Song Jian, who had initially thought his effort was in vain, found to his astonishment upon opening his skill panel that the proficiency of the “Sword Array Atlas” skill had significantly increased.

“How, how can this be?” Full of surprise, Song Jian hurriedly opened the information panel to check closely.

Indeed, there was a system prompt in the information panel that had appeared after Song Jian had cracked the array.

System: You have cracked one of the arrays contained within the Wine Lake Array, the “Sword Array Atlas” skill has gained a large amount of proficiency!

“It seems that only by completely breaking the array can I gain a large amount of proficiency!” Song Jian thought to himself. In an instant, he cast aside the thought of giving up and set about breaking another new array.
