Chapter 203 – Jade Fragnts
In the use of Spiritual Sense, ordinary cultivators and array masters naturally had two different choices. In the cultivation of Spiritual Sense, ordinary cultivators liked to expand, and the range that Spiritual Awareness covered was even better; however, array masters, on the other hand, liked to shrink their Spiritual Awareness and condensed their Spiritual Awareness as much as possible, so as to have a stronger supporting role in the cultivation of array formations. For this reason, almost all array masters did not hesitate to use secret techniques, going througather painful process, in order to compress and refine their own spirit stones as much as possible.
Originally, on the small chessboard, among the cultivators whose cultivations were not too far off, it would be difficult to resist the enemy’s peeping when using the Concealnt Formation. Even if one was unable to see everything, but it was normal for one to see so clues, but for Xiong Xizhe to not be able to see anything behind the mist, it could only an that Yang Junshan’s consciousness was much stronger than his.
Since the beginning of the ga, this was the first ti the self-confident Xiong Xizhe had had a bad premonition, but the situation on the board was getting more and more favorable for him, and in the blink of an eye, Xiong Xizhe had dispelled this bad premonition, so what if his spiritual sense was weaker? As long as he protected the advantage of being in the center, Yang Junshan would not be able to create a spirit array just by relying on his small corner, which was less than a quarter of the way to go.
Having regained his confidence, Xiong Xizhe pressed forward, step by step, increasing his advantage. On the contrary, after Yang Junshan used the concealnt array to hide his own forces, he could still only passively resist in the middle of the formation, and would occasionally take the opportunity to drop a few chess pieces inside the concealnt array.
This was alsare situation where a Spiritual Array was guaranteed victory in a single strike. Unless the difference between the two sides was extrely great, during the process of playing chess, when one side had the power of a Spiritual Array, the other side would probably surrender long ago.
Yang Junshan had only set up a few concealnt arrays, so it was impossible for him to form a spirit array.
Xiong Xizhe laid another two arrays at the center of the formation. Although Yang Junshan tried his best to restrain himself, Xiong Xizhe still avoided Yang Junshan’s intercepts, and although the two arrays were greatly damaged, they were still able to form in the end. One was a Diamond Formation, and the other was a Flowing Wind Formation.
Although Xiong Xizhe’s two array formations were weakened, they were after all offensive and defensive, so they still held the upper hand against one of Yang Junshan’s golden blade array.
With the release of the chess board, the array opened, and a great battle unfolded. The result of the battle was indeed as everyone had expected, as the King Kong Formation was completely destroyed by the Golden Blade Formation, while the Flowing Wind Formation was weakened to becomlear Wind Formation. However, the Golden Blade Formation was also broken in one go, allowing Yang Junshan’s left wing to expand, and Xiong Xizhe’s advantage was even greater.
In other words, these chess pieces that looked like they were part of a whole were actually two different arrays. The mont they were ford, they left behind two Formation Apertures, and if Xiong Xizhe were to stop one of them, then he would then connect the other one and form a separate formation. On the contrary, if Xiong Xizhe were to block the other one, then Yang Junshan would only need to form another formation Aperture and would be able to form a separate formation.
Xiong Xizhe intended to activate the seven array formations he had placed on the middle platform in advance to counteract the attacks, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was not worth it, so he casually blocked one of the array cores.
The result was outside of Xiong Xizhe’s expectations. Yang Junshan connected to another formation to form an array formation at the center of the formation, and used it at the center of the formation. Unfortunately, this formation took a lot of effort to fool Xiong Xizhe, and even though it managed to form an array, its power was limited.
Although it caused so trouble for Xiong Xizhe, the early stage of the competition had, after all, lost too much. Under Xiong Xizhe’s careful managent, they were unable to damage his foundation, and rather, it was Xiong Xizhe who had already ford a tight encirclent around Yang Junshan’s formation. The four arrays were already close to the Concealnt Formation, so Xiong Xizhe was confident that even if the Immovable Mountains Formation was any stronger, it would still be broken under the combined might of the four formations.
Yang Junshan’s expression was still calm, but in the eyes of Shi Jingxuan and the rest, Yang Junshan’s expression seed to be more of an act.
Xiong Xizhe finally launched his last attack at Yang Junshan. A chess piece landed in the eye of the formation that was already set up, and extended its force into the concealnt formation.
Crackling sounds rang out, it was a sign that the spirit energy contained within the chess pieces had failed due to the pressure of the array. The Concealnt Formation was not a strong array, after all, it would collapse if it suffered the attack from Xiong Xizhe’s array.
Xiong Xiying and Shi Jingxuan who were watching from the sidelines were overjoyed, and almost shouted out the word “good”, but in the mont the concealnt array crumbled, another series of “crackling” sounds exploded on the chessboard, and this ti, Yang Junshan’s montum was not the only thing that failed.
“Impossible!” Xiong Xizhe suddenly stood up, staring intently at the Go board array.
At the sa ti, a huge force descended upon them the mont the concealing array was about to collapse. At the sa ti, the four array formations set up by Xiong Xizhe started to crumble one after another, although Xiong Xizhe did his best to stop them, in the end, two of the array formations were completely destroyed, one secondary, and four of the main array formation’s seven gates had been broken in one go. The remaining three array formations only had three-tenths of their might left.
“Jade Fragnt Formation, it’s actually a Jade Fragnt Formation, such a small place like this is actually able to perfectly fuse with the Hidden Form Formation, with a single movent, this is’ Inscription Technique ‘, isn’t this kind of secret technique has extrely high requirents on the cultivation of cultivators, it has to be at least at the late stage of martial arts realm to be able to do it, how could he …”
Xiong Xizhe found it hard to accept this at the mont as he continued to mutter and ponder. Although he wasn’t able to turn the great situation around with a single Jade Fragnt Array, it was still enough to allow both parties to return to the sa starting line.
“Yes, it’s because of his consciousness, his cultivation level is far beyond ordinary, and the folding and tempering secret arts he uses are definitely extraordinary as well. That’s why he was able to control the ‘Formation Bursting Secret Arts’ when he was in the early stages of the martial arts realm, and perfectly fuse the concealnt formation with the Jade Fragnt Formation!”
“But I haven’t lost yet!”
Xiong Xizhe understood the reason and imdiately pulled himself together, wanting to fight Yang Junshan again.
Yang Junshan had actually known from the start that since he had first co into contact with Chess, even though he knew that Chess was only a tool for reaction and training cultivator’s array formations, it did not affect array masters using the Chess array, he still had a sense of unfamiliarity with it.
Aesult, Yang Junshan took up defense from the very beginning and also set up a strategy to trap Xiong Xizhe using the concealnt formation and the broken jade formation. For this reason, Yang Junshan tried his best to block the formation in the middle of the formation, so that when Xiong Xizhe was worried, he could gather more of the formations outside the concealnt formation and attack at the sa ti. This way, under the situation where the concealnt formation was broken, Yang Junshan would be able to obtain as much success as possible.
Even though he had destroyed two formations in one strike and crippled the remaining two, Yang Junshan still felt that it waity. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was still unfamiliar with the way of Chess s, he would have been able to prepare for that strike a mont ago.
Even so, although on the surface it looked like Yang Junshan was rely bringing the situation to a standstill, in reality, no matter if it was the spectators or the opposing Xiong Xizhe, they had all forgotten that Yang Junshan’s array formation was as unmoving as a mountain.
Although the Jade Fragnt Array didn’t differentiate between friend or foe, its mountainous defense was far above that of the seven sect formation. Even though Xiong Xizhe still had two residual array s, the mountainous formation that didn’t move was actually a complete formation!
Furthermore, after such a long ti of playing chess, Yang Junshan’s familiarity with the Chess had offset his unfamiliarity from before. With this increase in skill, Yang Junshan’s attainnt in formations had already surpassed Xiong Xizhe’s, and more importantly, Yang Junshan wanted to test the effects of the array stealing technique on the Go board this ti around.
Xiong Xizhe rearranged the array and naturally, he had to fix his own array first, but this ti, he encountered trouble. Although Xiong Xizhe had been extrely careful, and had tried his best to hide the key points of the array during the process of repairing the seven array gates, every ti the array was completed to a critical point, Yang Junshan would always be able to add a chess piece to the last key point. This made Xiong Xizhe’s plan go down the drain, and he had no choice but to go around a circle and spend more chess steps to improve the array, thus giving Yang Junshan the initiative to constantly win over the array.
“How can he be so accurate in his deductions for his own chess piece?”
Even though Xiong Xizhe’s main formation could still be restored, these few exquisite steps had greatly delayed the opportunity for the main formation to be perfected, and Yang Junshan had already seized the initiative!
The Immovable Mountains Formation started to extend outwards, and very quickly, fangs and claws extended out from the corner of the formation plate towards the center. Although Xiong Xizhe tried his best to mobilize his spirit sense to deduce the opponent’s chess path, the concealnt thod that he used multiple tis was extrely ineffective, and even if he could succeed occasionally, Yang Junshan had managed to open up other paths for him.
When Xiong Xizhe finally perfected the main array with great difficulty, Yang Junshan’s array formation had already spread to the center of the array disc, only then did Xiong Xizhe realise that he had been tricked again. Although Yang Junshan’s array formation was initially set up using the Immovable Mountain Formation, the array formation that he had created had changed greatly, it was not an extension formation of the Immovable Mountain Formation. Instead, it waerfect combination of the Immovable Mountain Formation and the new array formation.
With no other choice, Xiong Xizhe could only construct a few array formations and engage in battle with them, but the fusion with the seven array formations was not perfect. The few tis he suffered from fighting array formations, Yang Junshan’s small situation slowly took shape, and just like Xiong Xizhe, he had the upper hand.
Xiong Xizhe was still not willing to admit defeat, and attempted to fight with Yang Junshan to the end, but just at this ti, Yang Junshan suddenly “hehe” laughed, and added a Chess to the Sky Origin Stage of the Chess plate, causing Xiong Xizhe’s face to imdiately turn pale white!
