Chapter 1505: Chapter 1505: An Unbelievable Genius of a Generation
"Whether I have the ability is not for you to worry about; just remember not to go back on your word." Han Yan said as she walked forward.
"Han Yan, be careful." Huayue and the others said worriedly.
The scene of Zhuang Ping’an and Sang Qinghe being thrown back was still vivid in their minds. Although Han Yan’s strength was unlikely to result in injury, they didn’t want any unexpected events to undermine Han Yan’s prestige.
"Rest assured, don’t you know my Array Formation Technique?" Han Yan smiled confidently and then considered, saying to Huayue and the others, "Why don’t you lend a hand as well."
Although she was confident she could break this array, it would consume considerable time; with the assistance of Huayue and others, it would naturally be much easier.
"Alright." Huayue and the others quickly followed.
Although Han Yutang’s Thousand Illusion Demon Suppressing Array had just flashed momentarily, Han Yan and the others remembered the location, stopping three steps away from the array.
"You’ve all seen the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Technique a few times, should have some impression, right?" Han Yan asked.
"Yes." Huayue and the others nodded. Although they didn’t have the same photographic memory as Han Yan, having watched her perform it several times left some impression.
"I will teach each of you some hand gestures, very similar to those of the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Technique; they shouldn’t be hard to learn. When the array appears, you will simultaneously cast these hand gestures." After Han Yan finished speaking, she began teaching them hand gestures.
Huayue and the others were naturally gifted; they previously showed no interest in God-man hand gestures, but now focused intently, they quickly mastered them.
"Alright, let’s begin." Seeing that their hand gestures were flawless, Han Yan took two steps forward and cast the hand gestures.
Watching as her fingers danced lightly like clouds and flowing water, radiant patterns appeared at her fingertips, everyone showed a look of surprise.
Her hand gestures were exactly the same as those of Leng Qingyun and Luo Lifu, even more exquisite and practiced than theirs.
"Didn’t you say these hand gestures require understanding the divine skills of the array to learn?" Someone looked at Leng Qingyun and Luo Lifu in astonishment.
Both had reddened faces; previously when others sought their insight into Array Formation Technique, they used this reason to politely decline. In fact, they weren’t being secretive; the hand gestures were too exquisite, if they hadn’t understood their innate divine abilities, they definitely couldn’t perform them.
But Han Yan had just watched it once and learned, wasn’t this akin to publicly slapping them in the face?
"Leng Qingyun, we’ve grown up together as childhood friends, it was fine that you didn’t teach me, but why use such an excuse to evade?" The person said discontentedly.
"Brother Feng, you have truly misunderstood me; these hand gestures indeed require understanding the divine skills of the array to learn. You know I’ve been cultivating Array Formation since childhood, but before understanding the divine skills of the array, had I ever used such hand gestures? As for why Young Master Mu can learn them, I truly can’t fathom." Leng Qingyun hurriedly explained.
The person thought for a moment; Leng Qingyun seemed not to be lying. He had shown exceptional talent in Array Formation since childhood, immersing himself in it completely, but before mastering the divine skills of the array, he indeed hadn’t used these hand gestures. However, if they were so challenging to learn, why could Han Yan learn them so easily? He was still somewhat dubious about Leng Qingyun’s words.
"What’s there not to understand? Can Han Yan’s talent be compared to yours? If not seen with your own eyes, can you believe she defeated Wei Xiaotian? Spend a few more days with her, and you’ll realize that such strange events are not unusual on her." Beside them, Yue Fanchen said with a dismissive expression, barely not carving the words ’ignorant and inexperienced’ onto his forehead.
Beside them, Long Ya and others nodded repeatedly. From witnessing Han Yan defeat Anyun, to the palace upheaval in Shangyue Country, the Empress Dowager’s sudden recovery turning the tide, they had seen countless miracles and incredibilities in Han Yan, already unfazed by surprises. If there was anything in the world Han Yan couldn’t achieve, they might actually find it strange.
Not only them, but also the descendants of Sword Saints who narrowly escaped from the Longyan Mountain, nodded when they heard this. From their elders’ mouths, they had heard of the Netherworld Blood Veil’s potency; even the Netherworld King’s Divine Artifact, that could not be broken by Sword Saints from various countries, was ultimately destroyed by Han Yan, allowing those trapped Sword Saints to escape. Until now, they couldn’t comprehend the reason behind it; they could only describe Han Yan as unfathomable, a prodigy of a generation.
If even the formidable Netherworld King’s Divine Artifact couldn’t stump her, learning a few hand gestures is surely a piece of cake for her.
"Sorry Qingyun, it was my mistake; I apologize to you." Only then did the young man find relief, apologizing to Leng Qingyun.
Then, he looked at Han Yan again, his gaze filled with even more reverence.
Actually, this time, they had assumed incorrectly.
Initially, when secretly observing the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Technique, Han Yan thought she was exceptionally talented in array formation; but later, when breaking the seal at Flying Peak, Han Yan discovered it wasn’t her talent, but some things seemed inherently existent in her mind, just awaiting activation.
This time, this feeling was even clearer; when Leng Qingyun and Luo Lifu performed the hand gestures, she felt an incredible familiarity, as if these gestures were imprinted deep in her memory, more complete and exquisite than their understanding.
Although it was her first time executing these hand gestures, the feeling was as if she had practiced them hundreds of times.
The wondrous rhythm appeared again, and with an enchanting flash, the Thousand Illusion Demon Suppressing Array reappeared before their eyes.
Huayue and Zirong immediately cast the hand gestures taught by Han Yan, and Han Yan herself was not idle, her hand gestures suddenly altered, countless rune light shadows fell toward the center of the array like heavenly scattered flowers.
Quickly, the rune light shadows disappeared, and the phantom array also vanished from sight.
"Alright, the array is broken, let’s go through." Han Yan said casually.
What? The array is broken? Everyone looked at Han Yan with doubt. Although Han Yan’s earlier hand gestures seemed exquisite, the time taken was very brief, less than seven and a half minutes, and they had seen the profoundness and power of the array firsthand, how could it be broken so quickly?
Moreover, as far as they knew, the greater the array’s power, the grander the commotion when breaking it; but aside from the brief flash of the array under Han Yan’s hand gestures, there wasn’t a trace of activity, how could it be declared broken?
If it wasn’t because of Han Yan’s famous reputation, and their firsthand experience of her strength, they might suspect she was merely speaking irresponsibly.
