Chapter 80: The Array Plates That Will Change The World Forever.
Shock and confusion marred the audience’s faces.
What did he mean by array plates?
What do the array plates have to do with setting up array formations?
Various questions appeared in their minds but before they could ask, Jun Wu continued.
"With these array plates, anyone could set up array formations almost instantly."
"What!"
"How is that possible?!"
"I don’t believe it!"
Many could not believe their eyes. A mere metal plate could create array formations. How was that possible?
Elder Shen and Elder Kang exchanged subtle glances and saw the disbelief on each other’s faces.
If what Jun Wu said was true, they could not imagine the shock that would bring to the world.
The Yuan clan master had her jaw drop to the ground, forgetting about her image.
The Array Formation President pulled his long beard, not feeling the pain.
As for the Vice Dean, his heart was racing with excitement and anticipation.
Just then, a voice cut through the crowd.
"Nonsense! This must be a ruse to gain fame." Ma Long shouted.
Jun Wu glanced at him and said coldly. "How dare a mere array formation apprentice speak?"
"Why can’t he speak? He might be an array apprentice, but he has the right to speak." Elder Kai fired back.
"You stand there spouting nonsense about the array plate about to create a formation. Are you drunk or what?" He added, his face filled with disdain.
Looking in the voice’s direction, when they saw it was Elder Kai, many were stunned.
Had he not been chased out of the city? What is he doing here?
The City Lord looked at him and squinted, his expression ugly.
’This bastard...’ He gritted his teeth.
He knew he couldn’t escape from the trouble that was coming his way.
And indeed, the Vice Dean was looking at him with a deep frown on his face.
Yet, no one spoke as they waited for Jun Wu to respond.
"I can see you are with the Xie clan..." Jun Wu said with a smile that wasn’t a smile.
The Xie clan master stared at Jun Wu with a haughty smile.
Jun Wu was too lazy to deal with fools and said coldly.
"Is there anyone who questions the array plates? Please speak up now or forever remain silent."
"I don’t believe this is possible. This must be a trick." An elder said.
One after another, many voiced their opinions. They looked at Jun Wu as if they had seen through his plot.
Jun Wu stared at them without changing his expression and asked.
"Is that all? If you have something to say now, say it."
Silence!
Watching Jun Wu standing confidently before them, even a fool could see things were not as simple as they thought.
Thus, everyone kept their mouths shut.
"Good. Now, I’ve marked your faces. From this day onward, I don’t want to see your face around my pavilion or see my array plates in your hands."
"If you think I’m kidding, you can test me."
The audience was stunned.
They realized Jun Wu was really furious. Without waiting for the audience, he continued with a calm smile.
"Now, let me demonstrate the array plates." He began.
"For the array plates to work, they need a single spirit stone. You don’t have to worry, a single spirit stone can last more than a week."
"Everything depends on how much you use it."
As he was explaining, Xinyue gave him a spirit stone.
"This is a Concealment Array Plate."
Before the crowd, he began to set up the array plates in front of the pavilion.
Everywhere was quiet. Their eyes were glued on the array plates.
When Jun Wu placed the last array plate on the ground, he placed a spirit stone inside the array plate core.
The moment the spirit stone entered the array plate core, it lit up for a split second before all the seven array plates were connected.
Immediately, the Blazing Sun massive entrance vanished.
What!
The audience widened their eyes and their jaws dropped to the ground.
Many wiped their eyes twice to make sure their eyes were not playing tricks on them.
"T-The entrance..."
"Gone!"
All the array masters were stupefied. Never in their wildest dreams had they thought array formation could be done like this.
Jun Zhenya and the Jun younger generation were looking at the scene and were unable to hide their shock.
This was beyond anything they’d ever seen.
Watching their stupefied expressions, Jun Wu was pleased. This was the expression he was expecting.
"As you all have seen, the array plates work. With this, you can conceal anything."
He deactivated the Concealment Array Plates and immediately, the entrance appeared before them.
While the audience was still trying to understand what had just happened, Jun Wu continued.
"This is only the beginning. Let’s test another array of plates. I know many will think this is the only array plate in my pavilion."
Xinyue departed quickly and brought another array of plates. This time it was six array plates.
"There are many times you want to have an important conversation and have to move to a secluded place or lower your voice?" He asked.
"Even at that, you’re not sure if others overheard your conversation. But now, you don’t have to worry."
"With Sound Barrier Array Plates, you can set up a Sound Barrier any place at any time and no sound would escape from your position." Jun Wu said confidently.
"Please, I’ll need the City Lord, the Array President, Yuan clan master and both the president of the blacksmith and alchemist associations." Jun Wu said.
"I believe with them testing the authenticity of the Sound Barrier Array Plate, then there wouldn’t be any doubt."
Quickly, the five leaders stepped forward with the audience locked on them.
With the five stepping forward, Jun Wu began to place the Sound Barrier Array plates around them.
"Leaders, please speak and listen to the people." Jun Wu said and activated the sound barrier.
Instantly, everyone noticed they could not hear what the five leaders were saying while their mouths were moving.
Also, those inside the barrier could not hear what those from the outside were saying.
Inside the sound barrier, the alchemist president said in amazement. "This is incredible! I never knew array formation could be this flexible."
"Does anyone hear what they are saying?" Jun Wu asked, looking at the stunned crowd.
Everyone shook their heads. Their hearts pounded with excitement.
"But this is not all, you can even make it better."
Swiftly, he began to arrange the Concealment Array Plates.
Whoosh!
The five leaders vanished, leaving only the pavilion front empty.
"What happened!" A voice shouted.
"This is the combination of Concealment Array Plates and Sound Barrier."
"What do you think? Do you still think my pavilion is not ready to push the path of array formation further?"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The Vice Dean began to clap and slowly, the audience joined.
