Chapter 1701: 1701: It’s Not Luck, It’s Strength

He was determined to win the Sunrise Peak, and he had promised Kang Zihe to avenge him, so how could he let Han Yan have her way and become a Priest.

"Yes yes yes, since the array was damaged, how can it be considered passing the test?" Wen Rongsong echoed.

"Then what do you want?" Seeing through their ill intentions, Ye Yi’an was somewhat angry.

"How about this, since there’s more than one array in this hall, I think we should test again." Liang Gubai also chimed in.

"No way!" Ye Yi’an said resolutely.

Then he whispered to the two beside Han Yan, "Indeed, there is more than one Gathering Spirit Array in this hall, but besides the one just now, the others are used for Priests’ promotion tests, and the Power of Laws within them is even stronger."

Speaking of this, Ye Yi’an looked worried; Han Yan’s previous appearance had frightened him, and he dared not let her take another risk.

"If not, then we have no choice. The array is damaged on its own, so we cannot recognize her Priest status. You can take her back." Wen Rongsong said blandly.

"You..." Ye Yi’an was trembling with anger, but since they claimed the array was damaged, he had no way to deal with them.

"Let me try again." Han Yan suddenly said.

"Han Yan! This array is different from the one before." Ye Yi’an hesitated, looking at Han Yan, and said earnestly.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine." Han Yan said confidently.

Seeing her insistence, Ye Yi’an had little reason to persuade further, after all, Han Yan’s status and talent were not something he could compare to.

But seeing a fleeting cold smile in the eyes of Wen Rongsong and the others made him uneasy.

"Thank you, esteemed masters, we can begin." Han Yan returned to the center of the hall and spoke to Wen Rongsong and the others.

Although she was focused on understanding the array earlier, she heard every word from Ye Yi’an and Wen Rongsong and knew they wished her to perish within the array. Yet, outwardly, Han Yan remained calm and even feigned confusion, maintaining respect towards them.

Earlier, moved by impulse, she attempted to leverage the power of her Divine Sense to activate the Power of Laws within the array, but failed, accidentally destroying the entire array. Thus, she had no choice but to rely on the second array for further enlightenment.

Judging from the strength of the previous Concentration Array, even if this one was slightly stronger, it shouldn’t be much stronger, not exceeding her endurance range, so she had nothing to worry about.

"Miss Mu, there is no need for formality; this is our Temple Priest’s profession. You must be cautious, as this array is much stronger than the previous one. If you can’t bear it, give up early." Wen Rongsong deceitfully advised.

Inside, he sneered: Foolhardy girl, you escaped by luck earlier, do you think you’ll always have such fortune!

Having already decided to avenge Kang Zihe and restore Feng City Temple’s reputation, he certainly didn’t wish for Han Yan to give up, hence his words were especially courteous and approachable.

Under Ye Yi’an’s worried gaze, Wen Rongsong and Liang Gubai simultaneously performed a Hand Formation, and the Array Runes flashed again.

Compared to the previous array, this one was considerably larger, with a diameter of about two zhang, and once activated, sweat began to bead on Han Yan’s forehead, and her complexion turned slightly pale.

Originally, she thought even if the Gathering Spirit Array was a bit stronger, it wouldn’t exceed the previous one by more than twofold. But now she realized she was mistaken; this array’s power was at least thrice if not four times stronger. Had she not gone through meridian clearing and marrow washing several times on the Holy Court Continent, acquiring some experience, she might not have been able to endure without the Sword Dao Cultivation.

Seeing the fine sweat on Han Yan’s face, Wen Rongsong and the others flashed a cold smile in their eyes.

It seems this foolish girl probably won’t last long; when she voluntarily gives up and calls for help, should we save her or not?

As Dual Priests, when participants voluntarily give up and call for help, not saving her would seem unreasonable, and hard to justify to the Main Priest. However, delaying a moment and waiting for her to be severely injured before intervening wouldn’t really matter. Soon, they made up their minds; even if they intended to spare Han Yan’s life, they couldn’t let her off easily; she must be severely injured and have her foundation completely destroyed.

But to his slight surprise, despite Han Yan’s forehead beads of sweat rolling down, she never called for help; instead, she closed her eyes, seemingly intent on risking her life to fully persevere.

"Reckless fool, really a reckless fool; since you’re intent on courting death, don’t blame us for being merciless." Wen Rongsong and the others secretly resolved with malice.

On the other side of the hall, Ye Yi’an’s face was grimmer; as a Ninth-level Divine Priest, he too had experienced the test of this Gathering Spirit Array and knew its dangers.

Is the Holy Saint being too arrogant? No matter how strong your previous prowess was, or how unrivaled your natural talent is, having arrived at the Divine Continent for only a few days and unable to deploy Sword Dao Cultivation, how dare you take such risks? What if something goes wrong, what will we do?

Sikong Qinglan also wore a worried look; he had thought earlier that no matter whether this Mu Han Yan was the person he knew, he absolutely couldn’t let her come to harm. Because that person was too important to the Divine Continent, and even to the entire Holy Continent, any sliver of chance couldn’t be neglected.

Seeing Han Yan escape the peril, he too breathed a long sigh of relief, yet who knew she was unwilling to give up and insisted on taking the second test.

Couldn’t she see the sinister intentions of Wen Rongsong and the others? If her mental acuity and depth were just this, how could she possibly be the person he was thinking of? Worrying over this, Sikong Qinglan momentarily doubted his own judgment. Could she just resemble that person?

Han Yan had no idea what others were contemplating, as her Mental State immersed once more within the array.

Compared to the previous Concentration Array, this array was more complex and intricate, but precisely due to this, if she comprehended it thoroughly, activating the Power of Laws within should become easier.

Han Yan focused intently, unraveling the array layer by layer as if stripping a cocoon, constantly simulating in her mind.

Time flowed by slowly, and unconsciously, an hour had passed. Han Yan remained standing motionless at the center of the array without taking a step out.
