I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 154 - 106: A Great Improvement, Shocking Change at Sanhuo Temple
Every step precisely dodged all manner of attacks.
This was not a Body Technique. Instead, he had anticipated the attacks’ weaknesses a step ahead and simply sidestepped them in advance.
As the phantom moved, it walked from the very entrance to the final position.
The moment the phantom stepped forward, the great stone array behind it instantly crumbled into ruin.
The scene before him blurred, as if a thick layer of mosaic had been smeared over it.
As the scene blurred, Shen Bai absorbed all of the Information.
’The power of breaking an array... it’s unparalleled.’
A hint of excitement flickered in Shen Bai’s eyes.
At Level 1, the Divine Power, Array-Breaking Technique, only had one Attribute: Array.
However, this Attribute was extremely useful to Shen Bai.
This trip to the back mountain had revealed a new weakness of his: he was completely helpless against arrays.
When he entered the Illusion Array, it only collapsed because it had tried to simulate scenes from his past life.
As for the Three Thousand Buddha Light Annihilation Array, Shen Bai had simply brute-forced his way through.
The same went for the passages that followed and everything else he encountered—Shen Bai had just plowed through it all head-on.
Now that he had the Array-Breaking Technique, he would no longer have to resort to sneaking around when faced with similar arrays in the future.
Although it was only Level 1 and the Array Attribute wasn’t very strong, Shen Bai could grind it.
With this in mind, and knowing the afternoon’s vegetarian meal was still a while away, Shen Bai wasted no more time and began to grind.
...
Shen Bai didn’t leave his room all day, quietly grinding his Skill Level.
Meanwhile, Xuanxin Temple finished cleaning up the aftermath.
As night gradually fell, Shen Bai was disturbed by a knock on the door and opened his eyes.
The method for grinding the Array-Breaking Technique was quite peculiar. It required him to walk around the room in specific patterns, imagining himself trapped within various arrays.
To an outsider who didn’t understand arrays, Shen Bai would look like a lunatic pacing about randomly. But anyone who did understand arrays would be astounded.
For every one of Shen Bai’s steps was miraculous.
Interrupted by the knock, Shen Bai immediately stopped. The familiar smoke materialized before his eyes.
[Array-Breaking Technique Level 2 (Array +2, Gathering Array +2): 700/1000]
Because he had only been grinding for a single day, his Array-Breaking Technique had not yet reached the peak of Level 2.
The Gathering Array Attribute was especially interesting; it allowed Shen Bai to use Qi to form an array within his body, granting him a boost in combat power.
’Many of my Divine Powers give me a combat boost,’ Shen Bai thought. ’It’s hard to calculate just how much of a total boost I have by now.’
’Of course, it must be several dozen times over.’
He planned to calculate it properly when he had some free time.
"Lord Shen, the Abbot says the vegetarian meal is ready. He invites you to the banquet."
The Little Monk said softly from outside the door.
Shen Bai snapped out of his trance. He didn’t plan to continue grinding. "Tell the Abbot I’ll be there shortly," he nodded. "You can go on ahead."
"Yes, Lord Shen." The Little Monk acknowledged the order and quickly departed with light, brisk steps.
Shen Bai tidied up briefly, then walked out the door with Amber in his arms. He followed the path to the main hall.
In front of the main hall, rows of tables had been set for a banquet.
The dark night was illuminated by glowing Buddha Beads, making it as bright as day.
The Jianghu People had already taken their seats, excitedly discussing what they had gained this time.
Although many of the Jianghu People had been eliminated midway through the trip to the back mountain without obtaining any treasures, they had still reaped some rewards.
The first trial alone had elevated everyone’s mental state.
Thus, as they chatted, none of them showed any signs of dejection.
Just as the crowd was deep in lively conversation, their eyes were subconsciously drawn to a corner.
One by one, every head turned to watch the figure emerging from it.
In a dark corner, illuminated by the glowing Beads, Shen Bai stepped out from the shadows.
He held the white cat, Amber, in his left arm, his right hand resting on the hilt of Cold Moon at his waist.
Shen Bai’s every step was incredibly steady.
Recalling Shen Bai’s mysterious feats on the back mountain, they all wore expressions of envy mixed with bitterness.
They envied Shen Bai’s strength; the bitterness was because they were all of the same generation, but Shen Bai had already left them far behind.
At that moment, Shen Bai’s arrival became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Many Jianghu People cupped their hands in greeting.
Shen Bai returned their greetings one by one before taking a seat near the front, as arranged by Abbot Huisheng.
The vegetarian banquet at Xuanxin Temple began.
It was Shen Bai’s first time eating an entirely vegetarian meal, but he found it to be surprisingly good.
Even the restaurants in Shengyun County couldn’t prepare dishes of this quality.
Throughout the banquet, everyone mingled. Shen Bai chatted with the others, skillfully navigating the social intricacies of Fenglin State.
In what felt like the blink of an eye, the vegetarian meal had gone on for nearly an hour.
Over the course of the banquet, Shen Bai gradually got a clearer picture of the various factions in Fenglin State.
Seeing that Shen Bai was modest in character despite his unfathomable strength and formidable background, everyone present was happy to chat and laugh with him.
Gradually, the banquet wound down.
According to Xuanxin Temple’s arrangements, everyone would be staying the night.
’I’ll take this evening to grind the Array-Breaking Technique to Second Level Perfection, then use a wisp of Evil Qi to push it to Level 3. After that, I’ll grind my Blood Sword Dance Skill Level,’ Shen Bai thought to himself.
But just then, a member of the Observatory rushed in from outside Xuanxin Temple.
Even during the banquet, Jian Taiwen had arranged for members of the Observatory to stand guard, not relaxing his vigilance in the slightest.
The hastily arriving Observatory member immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Jian Taiwen frowned, stood up, and beckoned to the Observatory member.
Upon seeing Jian Taiwen, the Observatory member quickly went to his side and whispered in his ear.
His voice was very low, and combined with the noisy banquet, many people couldn’t hear what was being said. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
But from the urgent expression on the Observatory member’s face, it was clear this was no small matter.
