Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1522: Chapter 1219: Pinghai (2)

Dean Mark of Gaia Academy, a burly man with a profound aura, said, ”Even if twenty Burning Suns were to power this barrier, it might still trap us for a moment... impressive!”

Floyd leaned on his cane and smiled faintly, ”I anticipated Great Flame would study our four major academies, so I specially prepared this improved version of the Double Fish Hexagram Barrier. After its modification, it can be deemed a top-tier Seventh Level Barrier!”

Neo, the handsome head of Star Academy dressed in a Star Robe, laughed and praised, ”Dean Floyd, your consideration is thorough.”

Both Silvia and Mark nodded silently in agreement.

In recent years, they have been instilling confidence in the new generation of Qiguang people, blurring the past conflicts, yet the heads of the four major academies, including Floyd, were naturally clear about the disaster’s circumstances.

In the previous Earth Tribulation contest, Qiguang suffered a disastrous and complete defeat!

Great Flame is not easy to deal with!

This exchange has been given utmost importance from above, and Floyd and the others know they must dominate the Great Flame representatives during the exchange.

Even if some minor tricks are used in the process, as long as the outcome is victorious, the empire’s propaganda makes it trivial...

So, from the outset, Floyd and the others set up multiple obstacles to chip away at the sharpness of the Great Flame students, aiming to gain an upper hand from the start!

...

In the Double Fish Hexagram Barrier, the water light misted, and the tides surged.

”Ah... huh?!”

With a gasp, Zhao Ziyan was swept down by the shifting position of the Sea Eye.

”These Qiguang people are truly excessive!”

Zhao Ziyan, flipped over several times by the rush, quickly stood up, her pretty, delicate face full of indignation and shame.

Meanwhile, Wu Yan observed Xu Heng, whose face was growing paler, and his own expression gradually grew grim.

”Teacher Xu, can we still break the array?”

Xu Heng, who was calculating, seemed as though the last string had snapped, and he shook his head rather disorientedly, ”Vice Director Wu, this barrier is more troublesome than I anticipated with its transformations.”

”These Qiguang people...” Wu Yan lifted his head, looking past the underwater barrier towards Floyd and the others, and finally snorted coldly, ”Forget it, let’s not play along with them, let’s just break through the barrier!”

Wu Yan intended to act right away, but at that moment, accompanied by the sound of several chess pieces slicing through the air, they swiftly flew past.

Wu Yan immediately halted his actions, turning back to look at Su Yuan, who was still seated at the chessboard with surprise and doubt in his eyes.

”Royal Envoy Su?”

Wu Yan knew that Su Yuan had already become an Array Dao Master early on, but compared to Xu Heng, who clearly had more research on this barrier.

Even with Xu Heng’s efforts, they were unable to break the barrier. Could Su Yuan possibly have a solution?

Six chess pieces shot out unaffected by the ocean currents, landing in the hands of Wen Long, Zhao Ziyan, Zhao Qingning, Zhou Lingyun, Yang Heng, and Liu Qinyan.

”The Royal Envoy Su’s pieces?!”

Zhou Lingyun was very familiar with this, and Wen Long, Yang Heng, and the others all brightened up, excitedly gripping the pieces.

It was undoubtedly Royal Envoy Su’s assistance!

Although none of them knew what Su Yuan had achieved in the Array Path, over time, they developed an extraordinary trust in him.

At this moment, only six empty chess pieces were on the board in front of Su Yuan, each corresponding to the pieces in Wen Long and others’ hands.

As Su Yuan moved the pieces on the board, the piece in Zhou Lingyun’s hand flashed slightly, and a message instantly entered his mind.

”Position 3, move forward 4 meters.”

”Position 4, move forward 16 meters.”

”Position 5, move forward 24 meters.”

...

On the Sea Eye, Zhou Lingyun’s eyes brightened. After bowing from afar, he followed the instructions in the pieces without hesitation.

Although the force of the ocean currents in the barrier doubled, Zhou Lingyun encountered little resistance along the way.

This indicated that Su Yuan’s directives were precise, even more so than Xu Heng’s, proceeding along the weakest ocean current path.

At the moment Zhou Lingyun completed the last instruction, the swirling water light ahead abruptly stopped, becoming a new Sea Eye!

Simultaneously, the Sea Eye Zhou Lingyun previously occupied suddenly transitioned from still to turbulent, becoming turbulent.

”It actually changed just in time?!”

”Wow, this is incredible!”

Many Great Flame students present were amazed by Su Yuan’s calculated and seemingly prophetic maneuvering.

Xu Heng, too, turned his head with wide eyes towards Su Yuan, holding the chess piece, his face full of admiration and disbelief, ”Royal Envoy Su, can actually achieve this level?”

Only Xu Heng fully understood how difficult and elegant such coordination was!

Accurately determining the next changing Sea Eye, and selecting the most suitable person to proceed along the weakest path without error...

Xu Heng estimated that even if he reached the status of a Level 8 Array Master, it would be challenging!

Indeed, that was the case.

Su Yuan accomplished this mainly due to the continuous guidance from Ashley...

”Boss, the Sea Eye under Yang Heng’s feet is about to disappear, and a new Sea Eye appears 251 meters in the direction 30° Northwest.”

”In eight minutes, the Sea Eye under Zhao Qingning’s feet disappears, and a new Sea Eye appears 33 meters in the direction 64° Northeast.”

Ashley continuously informed Su Yuan of the Sea Eye’s changes in advance, allowing Su Yuan to calculate the routes and alter Wen Long and others’ positions until all six students simultaneously stood on Sea Eyes.

For Xu Heng, these calculations were likely strenuous, but for Su Yuan, who had ascended to a Level 8 Grandmaster, they were effortless.

Certainly, Xu Heng’s prior exploration contributed greatly.

Previously, Su Yuan received Ashley’s prophecy that this round of breaking the array wouldn’t conclude quickly.

Thus, while Xu Heng was breaking the array, Su Yuan observed the Seventh Level Barrier set up by the Royal Knight Academy.

The Water Array was known for its flexibility, and Su Yuan’s observations indeed uncovered hidden transformations in the array...

At this moment, as Su Yuan successively moved pieces on the board, Yang Heng, Zhao Qingning, and others all started moving.

The group maneuvered within the barrier, passing through with fierce ocean currents bypassing them safely, as if under divine intervention!

Two places, three places, four places... five places!

As Sea Eyes connected one by one, Floyd, who formerly appeared graceful and calm, finally had a change in expression.

”How is this possible?!” Floyd’s eyes widened, and he blew out his beard.

Clearly, the opponent’s Array Master was unable to break the Double Fish Hexagram Barrier for so long, so how could a different person suddenly approach the Sea Eyes so easily!

However, upon closely examining that gentle face, Floyd’s demeanor froze, as a look of surprise flickered in his eyes.

”Is it actually him?” Floyd was struck with surprise, narrowing his eyes slightly, ”The number one in Earth Tribulation, Great Flame Country’s Vermilion Bird True Monarch... Su Yuan!”

As the Dean of the Imperial Royal Knight Academy, Floyd had long received the intelligence of Su Yuan’s ascension to King Level and his notable performance in the northern war.

But Floyd didn’t expect that this individual would come to Qiguang with the Great Flame Education Bureau for academic exchange.

What was more shocking was that his achievement in the Array Path was so high, able to swiftly and precisely locate the ever-changing Sea Eyes within the Double Fish Hexagram!

At this time, Su Yuan, his expression calm, lifted his slender fingers and pushed a piece on the board one last time...

”This move is called Pinghai.”

In the barrier, receiving the order, Wen Long’s eyes sparkled, and he immediately stepped forward.

Despite encountering increasingly fierce ocean currents, Wen Long remained forceful, his steps firm until he took the final step...

”Buzz!”

The pressure he was under suddenly vanished, and the surging waves around him stopped immediately.

Wen Long licked his lips with slight excitement, thinking how remarkable his senior was!

Subsequently, Wen Long, Liu Qinyan, Zhou Lingyun, Yang Heng, and the Zhao Family Sisters exchanged glances, each bursting forth their Star Power, transforming into columns of Star Power Light that shot up into the sky.

Like needles fixing the sea, the once surging and changing water light barrier and the rampant ocean currents, slowed rapidly under the Star Power Light Columns released by the six people, until completely returning to tranquility!
