Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 673

Chapter 673: 673
Currently, the Sun was hanging high in the sky . It was noon .



On the field, 756 transparent rooms were lined up perfectly like a long-tailed dragon, looking extremely strange .

Inside, tens of pupils were trying to lift arrays . Some of them were within the rooms at the front, some were at the tail of the trail of rooms . But without exceptions, all of them were sweating heavily as they concentrated on breaking the arrays .

This was the rule for the Path of Arrays' competition .

All 756 rooms were inhibited by arrays . Every single room was different . Starting from the first room, every cultivator needed to break the array of the room and go to the next room and repeat .

Whoever became the first to arrive in the last room and successfully leave it, became the winner of the competition .

One has to admit that the rules for this competition were very simple . It was like trying to walk out of a maze and the first person who walked out won .

Though the rules were simple, the process was difficult .

There were 756 rooms and 756 different arrays . Ignoring the difficulty level, this high number alone was enough to give anyone a headache . In conjunction with the array's difficulty, most people would not be able to get out of these rooms .

To know that the difficulty level of these rooms was not exactly low . The further along you went, the more difficult it was .

Therefore, since the beginning of the competition, three hours had passed and most people were stuck at the beginning stages, which were the first 100 rooms . Even the fastest person was still inside the 327th room .

This person was Ta Ba Feng .

One has to admit that this person was rather capable . This was proven by the fact that the second best candidate was only in the 200th room .

Don't forget, the competition was made so that the later stage you were, the more difficult the arrays were . If the second place was mere in the 200th and he was in the 300th, how big of a gap was there?

To say it bluntly, his array skills outcompeted everyone here by a landslide!

In other words, if no accidents occur, he would be the winner of this competition .

What could they do? Ta Ba Feng was far too powerful, powerful enough to make everyone else feel hopeless .

Currently, he was inside the 327th room . His finger was drawing images on the wall in order to lift the array .

Though he hadn't broken the array yet, his expression was very calm and he was not at all in a haste . Because he firmly believed that an array of this caliber was not enough to stop him .



His nonchalant and confident behavior truly deserved everyone's compliments .

Compared to him, everyone else's speed paled in comparison .

Everyone behind him was sweating from their foreheads as they stared deadly at the arrays before them and attempted to think of a way to breakthrough .


However, their array skills were far too poor and they couldn't think of a solution . Therefore, they were impatient and the more impatient they were, the less they could think .

This became a very deadly negative cycle . They were now pacing around like ants on a hot pan .

Even the person in second place was not an exception .

His hasty and flustered behavior made everyone shook their heads at him .

No matter what one does, one has to remain calm . It was only possible to find a solution when one's in a collected state .

Yet everyone here had lost themselves from frustration . How did they find ways to lift the arrays like this?

"Aye, most of the competitors this year do not have a good mentality . "

"That's right . Lifting arrays require a very calm heart . Only when one is calm, can one find a solution amongst complexity . "

"That's right . Ignoring array skills, these people cannot become great just because of their mentality alone . "

"Luckily, we have found a rare genius in the Path of Arrays, or else our path would look weak next to the other three paths . "

The elders in midair discussed as they sighed and shook their heads . They felt sorry towards the competitors but also felt lucky to have found someone like Ta Ba Feng .

"One has to admit that that pupil is very capable . Ignoring his array skills, his mentality alone is not something normal people can compare with . "

"His array abilities are even better . If my prediction is correct, he is probably of the master realm . He is not any weaker compared to you and me . "

"That's right . If he isn't of the master level, there is no way his speed of breaking the arrays would be this fast . There is no way he would be 100 rooms ahead of the second place competitor . "



"Aye, this pupil's talent is far too dominating . Just how much has he cultivated to have achieved such glory? Compared to him, we have wasted hundreds of years . "

"What can we do? He is a Heaven's Favorite . His cultivating for one year equals to someone else cultivating for a decade . "

The elders all chimed in . Other than disappointment, there was only compliments – true compliments that came from the bottom of their hearts .

Not only were they praising him, but the audiences were also doing the same .

They all exclaimed over how dominating Ta Ba Feng was and exclaimed over his future as a grandmaster of arrays .

It was true . His actions today had proven that if no accidents happened, he would become a grandmaster . What could they do? His talent was far too dominating and his growth was far too speedy .

Just as everyone was praising him, Ta Ba Feng had moved through another 10 rooms . He had shown all signs of extreme capabilities .

This dragged everyone back to a state of awe as they stared at him with looks of disbelief .

As for the remaining participants… they were being completely ignored . Even the one in second place was not being paid attention to .

All eyes were on Ta Ba Feng and everyone was focusing on him as if he was the one and only one in the world . People found it hard to peel their eyes off him .

Ta Ba Feng did not disappoint . As if he had eaten a legendary Dan, he speedily lifted array after array .

After a short period of time, he had broken through tens of rooms and arrived at the 400th .

This speed astounded everyone . Only after a lag of time, did everyone at the scene start to cheer .

"Haha, awesome . No wonder he is the best Heaven's Favorite of our path . This insane speed is scary!"

"What a great Heaven's Favorite . This person is far too insane . "

"This is just who Ta Ba Feng is . A rare genius whose decade of training has made him more capable than those who have cultivated for centuries . "

Everyone continued their discussions . Their words were full of shock .

At once, Ta Ba Feng turned into the undiminishing Sun that shines for miles and reflects off everything .

Just as all attention were on him, nobody noticed that a man in white silently entered the first room .

It was Ling Xian .

He was planning on informing the elders before entering the competition . However, after seeing that all gazes were on Ta Ba Feng, he felt too lazy to wait and straight away came to the first room .

Since everyone was watching Ta Ba Feng, other than the leader of Path of Arrays, nobody else noticed Ling Xian's arrival .

"Hmm?"

After a short stutter, the leader frowned and murmured to himself, "That man… is Xian Ling?"

As he spoke, he manipulated his Qi and confirmed that it was truly Ling Xian . He couldn't help but laugh .

"A master with such profound array skills… why are you here? Aren't you bullying others?"

The leader of arrays shook his head and laughed . After seeing Ta Ba Feng down below, his old eyes flashed with anticipation, "I have forgotten that Ta Ba Feng's level of array is also of the master realm . Now that these two are sharing a stage, I need to get a good look . "

Then, to make himself see more clearly, he formed a mysterious hand seal . Immediately, two mirrors appeared before him . In one mirror, the image of Ta Ba Feng was reflected .

In the other mirror was the silhouette of Ling Xian .

"One is a master who helped our dormant array transform successfully, the other is also a master with profound array knowledge . The two of them are similar in age as well . This will be a war between a tiger and a dragon . "

The leader of Path of Array became engrossed and laughed, "I am excited to see who is more capable . "

As this leader of array was full of high expectation, Ling Xian, who entered the first room, was also having high expectations .

He had been cultivating for many years and he had not participated in a test of arrays . Now that there was this competition, he was of course curious . Especially since he encountered such a capable competitor, Ta Ba Feng, his desire to see who's stronger was very heavy .

"Ta Ba Feng, I sure hope your array abilities are powerful enough to energize me . " Ling Xian revealed a faint grin .

In the Hidden Territory, this person did end up becoming a grandmaster . In the entire Yuezhou, he became very prominent .

To know that it wasn't that easy to become a grandmaster . Out of 100,000,000, maybe one appears . Therefore, knowing that Ta Ba Feng would one day become a master was enough to prove his natural talent .

This was why Ling Xian was so interested . If his competitors were too weak, he wouldn't find the desire to care .

"Alright, let us hurry up . "

Grinning, Ling Xian focused on the room's array . He lifted his sleeve and it was immediately lifted!

He appeared in the second room in a flash .

When he arrived, Ling Xian merely glanced around and solved the array .

He was speechless at this, thinking that the arrays here were far too easy . It wasn't even a challenge .

Luckily, he was thinking this silently and nobody could hear him . Or else, all the participants other than Ta Ba Feng would be puking blood from anger right now .

"Hopefully the arrays later will be harder . " Ling Xian laughed and once again waved around his hand . He came to the fourth room .

Then, he began an unbelievable journey .

He instantaneously broke through arrays and continued to arrive room after room . His insane speed was getting hard to believe!

Instantly!

Instantly!

Instantly!

Without exceptions, every single room's array was instantly lifted by him . Within a short period of time, he arrived at the 100th room .

What could he do? His abilities were far too insane . Those low leveled arrays could not stop him .

This insane speed finally caught everyone's attention .

"Look! That person is insane!"

Some unknown person shouted and caused everyone to shift their gaze onto Ling Xian . Then, all of them fell into a state of awe .
