Chapter 2103: Chapter 89: Dumbfounded
Then, dozens of doors suddenly slammed shut, completely sealing the girl in an instant.
The plot flipped in a heartbeat, not only making the girl inexplicably furious, but also leaving the countless elders in the main hall dumbstruck.
"This... how is this possible? Isn’t he just that guy with one with nature? How did the girl end up trapped?"
An elder stared at Ao Cangsheng in astonishment.
"He only has the cultivation of a Celestial, but when he set the girl up, it had nothing to do with his Martial Arts cultivation."
"If I’m guessing right, the Array he just set up was a Fifth Level one."
An elder who specialized in Arrays suddenly explained.
"A Fifth Rank Array? Is this guy still human? How old is he!"
Some people didn’t believe it, their faces blank as they spoke.
For a while, the elders in the hall all started discussing Ao Cangsheng.
"Bang—"
Out on the huge plaza, after being trapped in the Fifth Layer Array, the girl began madly attacking the Array that imprisoned her.
But how powerful is a Fifth Level Array? With her low-level cultivation in the True Dragon Realm, how could she possibly break it?
"Girl, stop wasting your strength. This is a Fifth Level Array. You can’t break it!"
Seeing the girl’s willow brows arched and the wind raging across her face, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but laugh as he reminded her.
The girl ignored Ao Cangsheng and kept attacking the Five-layer Array.
After so many tries, not only did she fail to shatter the grand Array, she was even almost killed by the Array’s power.
In the end she had no choice but to stop. She glared angrily at Ao Cangsheng and said, "Brat, if you let me out, we’ll fight fair and square."
"Winning with crooked tricks is shameful, isn’t it?"
"Shameful?"
Ao Cangsheng laughed and said, "You call me shameful. Just now you used your own territory to trap me and bully me. That’s not shameful?"
"Besides, I didn’t use crooked tricks. I used an Array."
"That’s crooked too! As long as we don’t win by Martial Arts, everything’s crooked!"
The little girl glared viciously at Ao Cangsheng. She was truly enraged.
"If you say that, then you using your Domain to frame me isn’t real Martial strength either."
Ao Cangsheng looked at the little girl with disdain as he spoke.
That line left the girl momentarily speechless.
While a Domain is also an embodiment of one’s cultivation, a Domain in itself doesn’t possess offensive power; it only serves a supporting role.
In a sense, Ao Cangsheng’s Array was playing a similar role within the field of the Dragon-suppressing expert.
Unable to get out of Ao Cangsheng’s trap despite her pride, the girl suddenly furrowed her brows and began racking her brains.
After a while, her attitude shifted slightly. She spoke to Ao Cangsheng again: "Brat, if you let me out, we’ll fight."
"This time I won’t release my Domain, and you won’t release an Array, okay?"
"No."
But to the girl’s surprise, her voice had just dropped when Ao Cangsheng rejected her outright.
"Why?"
The girl was baffled inside and snapped in anger.
"Because I don’t trust you!"
Ao Cangsheng said with a grin.
Seeing this, many elders in the hall couldn’t help showing a faintly satisfied expression.
They had long believed that Ao Cangsheng’s outcome was bound to be tragic.
But now, Ao Cangsheng had miraculously turned defeat into victory. How could they not be pleased?
"Then what do you suggest?"
Unable to convince Ao Cangsheng either way, the girl immediately gritted her teeth.
"Simple: you concede, I pass the trial. That’s all there is to it!"
The girl let out a long sigh, looking utterly helpless and unwilling as she said, "You win. In an hour, if I don’t attack you, then you’ve cleared this stage!"
"Really?"
Ao Cangsheng didn’t trust the girl’s words; his eyes narrowed slightly.
After all, earlier he’d faked his death to trick the girl once, which had given him a chance to turn things around.
Who could say for sure that this girl wasn’t now copying that trick out of the Hu Lu?
"If you don’t believe me, turn around and look!"
The girl seemed too lazy to bother with Ao Cangsheng and tossed out the words coldly.
At her words, before Ao Cangsheng could even turn, the sound of mechanisms clacking and turning rang out behind him.
Ao Cangsheng turned his head; in the original wide, flat plaza, another high platform had appeared.
Seeing this high platform, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but frown. "What does that platform have to do with me clearing the stage?"
The girl didn’t want to speak to this despicable Ao Cangsheng any more, but to avoid staying trapped in the Array she had to reply impatiently: "Only when I’m defeated does that platform appear."
"I have to enter the high platform to leave the trial grounds."
"The appearance of the platform is the mark that you’ve passed. If you don’t believe it, just ignore it over there!"
With that, the little girl actually gave Ao Cangsheng a look of outright contempt.
Being looked down on by the lass, the ever-arrogant Ao Cangsheng felt his face burn a little.
After all, he was a big man. If he didn’t even have the courage for this, shouldn’t he be ashamed to let this girl scorn him?
Thinking this, Ao Cangsheng immediately laughed. "Alright then! I’ll trust you once and see what else you can pull!"
As he spoke, Ao Cangsheng lightly tapped with his right hand several times.
Suddenly, the Five-step Array imprisoning the girl flared with a streak of golden light.
In no time, within that flashing gold, the Five-step Array abruptly vanished.
At the same time, Ao Cangsheng readied himself for battle.
After all, he didn’t really know this girl. If she deliberately cheated, wouldn’t he suffer a huge loss?
Yet just as Ao Cangsheng braced himself, the girl suddenly darted straight into that platform.
This sight made Ao Cangsheng freeze for a moment. "Was what she said just now actually true?"
Ao Cangsheng was still dazed when he saw the girl glare at him fiercely, then disappear together with the platform beneath the vast plaza.
"It’s over!"
Once the great plaza returned to calm, Ao Cangsheng asked with a smile.
Just now he’d been tormented to death and back; at this moment, this victory felt almost like a dream.
Standing on the huge plaza for a long while, Ao Cangsheng finally turned and started walking toward the mountain pass exit.
At the same time, all the elders who’d once belittled Ao Cangsheng shut their mouths.
Only a single pair of bright eyes were still turning thoughtfully, as if pondering something profound.
Outside the trial, Zi Moye and the man sat together. Their minds were already in turmoil.
By now, Yuan Cangsheng had been inside for nearly four hours.
After such a long time, there still wasn’t a single star in the starry sky lighting up, let alone any sign of Ao Cangsheng coming out.
Under these circumstances, even those who had great faith in Ao Cangsheng were unable to sit still.
As for Leng Bingbing, who bore a grudge against Ao Cangsheng, the cold smirk on his face grew even more mocking.
He’d thought this whole show would end in Ao Cangsheng’s defeat.
But now it seemed Ao Cangsheng couldn’t even keep his life.
This kind of twist was something Leng and the others had never anticipated.
"It’s already been four hours and Cangsheng still hasn’t come out. We can’t wait any longer!"
With a shout, Zi Moye’s face suddenly went pale with panic.
"Great, then let’s go find Elder Xingxiu right now!"
This time the man didn’t refute Zi Moye; he responded immediately.
With that, under a barrage of mocking gazes, the two turned and ran straight toward the nearest temple.
Click, click—
However, they hadn’t gone far when a rumbling of rotating mechanisms suddenly sounded behind them.
At the sound, Zi Moye and the man halted at the same time, then turned back together.
Meanwhile, the onlookers who had come mainly to watch the fun all showed surprise and looked toward the enormous Stone Gate.
Click, click—
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, the huge Stone Gate slowly rose.
When the Stone Gate was halfway up, another figure suddenly appeared within everyone’s line of sight.
As the Stone Gate continued to rise, that figure gradually became clear.
"It’s the boss!"
Only when the Stone Gate had risen to four zhang high did the man finally sit back down, and a roar burst in his heart.
That person was Ao Cangsheng.
Compared to Zi Moye’s tense posture, Leng and the others’ expressions now seemed somewhat lost.
Then, under everyone’s stunned gaze, Ao Cangsheng strode out of the mountain pass.
"Cangsheng, how did you manage to get out?"
As soon as Ao Cangsheng arrived, Zi Moye hastily asked.
Only then did he and the man realize that the Heart Stone hanging high above had already lit up.
