Chapter 1118: Chapter 687: Enlightenment, Formations, All Praising Me! (Part 3)
"A bit tricky..."
Meng Chuan had never seen any arrays, hence he gave great importance to Wang Yi.
This path is just like the ’mathematics’ in cultural classes, where it’s all about talent, more reliant on talent than on the path of the physical body!
Very few can become mathematicians, and similarly, very few martial artists can become array masters.
Counting Wang Yi, Meng Chuan had only ever met her and Master Baibao.
Swish—
Meng Chuan’s ear slightly twitched.
Though the whistling through the air was dense, it was completely exposed under his newly enhanced senses.
Before he could process his thoughts, Meng Chuan suddenly turned his body sideways, his right arm thrusting out like a claw in flight.
Clang!
A crisp yet deep collision sound echoed.
"Wang Yi is truly courageous; she is the first contestant to attack Meng Chuan immediately upon entering! Well done, Wang Yi!"
Gold-ranked commentator Wang Yang praised, and applause erupted from the audience.
Wang Yi’s figure scattered like waves, spreading her arms like a crane, swiftly skimming over.
Her right hand wielded a strange weapon resembling either a halberd or a staff, with a blade on one side, stabbing straight at Meng Chuan’s waist.
She launched a sudden assault, relying on her own aura blending with the ocean, achieving an almost perfect concealment.
Little did she expect, she was detected by Meng Chuan immediately, and with a reverse palm, she was slapped away.
Wang Yi did not know that the last person who managed to use this move effectively against Meng Chuan was Huo Zhan from the Huo family!
Unfortunately, Master Meng never made the same mistake twice in one place...
Boom—!
Meng Chuan’s strike was thunderous, sparing no mercy.
Directly blasting Wang Yi a thousand meters away, shattering the exposed sea rocks.
"Cough, cough..."
Wang Yi’s eyes held shock; she did not know how she was discovered.
After coughing twice, she wiped away the blood trickling from her mouth with her left hand, struggling to stabilize her almost upside-down inner realm.
If not for her divine weapon blocking quickly earlier, that one palm could have taken her life...
Only now did she truly realize the extent of Meng Chuan’s strength!
Facing him as an opponent was an overwhelmingly daunting task...
At this moment, Wang Yi knew she was not qualified to probe the other any longer.
Must, immediately, now!
Go all out!
Boom!
The sea surface erupted with a massive explosion, as a vacuum vortex pressed several dozen meters down from the ocean surface, with the shock waves transmitted through the water, directly threatening Wang Yi!
Seeing Wang Yi intending to dive, Meng Chuan thought she was surely planning something nefarious.
Unable to close in quickly enough, he smashed the sea surface from hundreds of meters away using the shock waves to disrupt Wang Yi’s diving stance, sending her flung from the water into mid-air.
Whoosh!
Transforming into a blue light, Meng Chuan’s right fist, with waves of fury, aimed to smash Wang Yi’s head from above.
His expression was ruthlessly cold, showing no compassion.
The furious waves spread, exceedingly fierce.
Seemingly wanting to devour the ’young swallow’ suspended in mid-air.
The audience’s hearts raced to the extreme upon witnessing this scene.
Was Wang Yi’s journey going to end like this...?
The crowd was not resigned.
The vicious waves crashed down, with a "boom!" it exploded dramatically, the water splashed into an arc.
Meng Chuan stood in the air, his right hand clutching a jade-green puppet.
Rubbing it with his five fingers, he crushed it into powder...
He immediately turned, looking thousands of meters away at Wang Yi’s head emerging from underwater, showing him a mocking smile.
Wang Yi silently mouthed:
"If you dare, come on!"
She had already set up a grand array underwater, waiting for him to fall into the trap!
At the commentary booth, Wang Yang glanced at the information in his hand, praising:
"The method of substitution, one of the wood attribute arrays.
Using a puppet specially made by an array master with wood attributes as a guide, after the array is formed, one can use the innate wood-escape power to swap positions with the pre-deployed puppet, avoiding calamity by substituting illusion with reality.
Wang Yi has presented us with a textbook-like performance on arrays!"
"To put it simply, Meng fell for a trick by this woman.
Watch closely, if Meng catches her, Wang Yi’s fate will be quite miserable!"
Xu Qingfeng remarked indignantly, unexpectedly drawing countless glares from all sides.
He immediately managed an awkward smile, staying silent, while cursing in his heart:
"These fools, they don’t realize that Meng only used at most two or three-tenths of his skills..."
The world is indeed foolish...
...
Looking at Wang Yi mocking him from afar, Meng Chuan’s face remained calm, without any sense of humiliation after being played.
He simply felt he had gained some knowledge.
The path of arrays is not bad.
He lowered his head, sensing the aura of the crushed puppet, silently remembering it.
Again, he would never make the same mistake twice.
Darting down rapidly, from afar, countless water dragons rose around Meng Chuan, soaring as he wished.
As his five fingers abruptly spread, the water dragons scattered with a roar.
Like a rain of swords, but more like countless missiles launching.
Bombarding ferociously towards the spot where Wang Yi’s head appeared from a few hundred meters away.
Boom boom boom!
The instant the water dragons made contact, Meng Chuan had an understanding look.
Fake.
Where was the real Wang Yi?
Meng Chuan speculated slightly, reaching a conclusion.
Hidden at the sea bottom.
The water flow greatly gimped his perception, also, these azure seas were not ordinary human-seas.
Even operating them taxed his intentions more.
Moreover, his perception couldn’t cling to the water or flow with it, he could only forcibly ’break through,’ which caused this situation.
If it were on land, Wang Yi would have been caught by him long ago.
This was another reason why Meng Chuan had said "tricky" as soon as he entered.
Now, he found himself in a dilemma.
He discovered numerous "Wang Yi" appeared around, lingering here was like playing whack-a-mole with puppets.
