Chapter 9 Array Master

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Array MasterLin Fan, after hearing Lin Zhenxiong's words, a hint of astonishment appeared on his face and he asked, "Is it rare to find an Array Master? But, to repair the Mountain Protection Array of our Lin Family, the requirements for an Array Master aren't that high, are they?" Repairing the Mountain Protection Array doesn't require much from an Array Master? Everyone looked at Lin Fan as if they were looking at an idiot. Yet Lin Fan, this guy, wasn't about to stop dropping bombshells, acting as if he didn't see the look in everyone's eyes, he said, "Maybe, I could give it a try?" Ah? Everyone stared at Lin Fan in disbelief! He could give it a try? That's utterly ignorant of the true difficulty! Such a green youngster, and he claims to understand Arrays? Is that even possible? A high-ranking member of the Lin Family burst into laughter and said, "Lin Fan, stop joking around. Even the sole Array Master in Heavenly Martial City wouldn't dare to say he'd 'give it a try' at improving and repairing our Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array. And you say such things? If word of this gets out, it will make people laugh their teeth off." While speaking, this high-ranking Lin Family member shook his head. Lin Fan looked at this high-ranking Lin Family member and asked, "Seventh Elder, how about we make a bet?" "A bet?" Seventh Elder was stunned. Lin Fan nodded, saying solemnly, "Yes, a bet!" "Haha!" Seventh Elder burst into laughter again, asking, "I'm curious, what bet?" Lin Fan said, "I just need some Array Flags and Array Plates. If Seventh Elder can walk out of the Array I set up, I lose." "Good!" Seventh Elder said, "Since you, Lin Fan, are so confident, then, I really want to see this." At this point, Seventh Elder paused briefly before yelling, "Come on, give him Array Flags and Array Plates." In the Lin Family, naturally, a certain number of Array Flags and Array Plates were available. Soon, someone brought ten Array Flags and ten Array Plates. Lin Fan casually grabbed five Array Flags and five Array Plates and said indifferently, "No need for so many, put the rest away." While speaking, Lin Fan nonchalantly began to place the Array Flags and Array Plates around the hall. It looked like the Array Flags and Array Plates were scattered randomly, as if they had just been dropped there without any pattern at all. "This is also an Array?" Everyone, upon seeing this, couldn't help but be taken aback. Lin Zhenxiong couldn't stand by any longer and said solemnly, "Enough Lin Fan, stop messing around." Lin Fan replied, "Grandfather, since you've already let me mess around for so long, letting me continue for a little while longer shouldn't be an issue, right?" Afterward, Lin Fan looked at Seventh Elder and asked, "Seventh Elder, do you dare to enter my Array?" "Haha!" Seventh Elder laughed heartily and loudly declared, "What's there to fear?" While speaking, Seventh Elder leaped into the Array that Lin Fan had set up. Everyone looked on mockingly at Lin Fan, thinking that after this failed attempt at setting up an "Array," he would probably rein himself in, right? Only... Very quickly, everyone's expressions involuntarily changed drastically! Because, after Seventh Elder leaped into the Array, all the Array Flags and Array Plates disappeared, and in their place, energy light pillars emerged, forming an Array that trapped Seventh Elder within it. "Is... is this really an Array?" Everyone's hearts finally began to surge with shock. At the same time, they finally understood, Lin Fan was actually an Array Master? Such a young Array Master? Meanwhile, the Seventh Elder, who was trapped in the Array, found to his horror after charging around desperately that he couldn't break out at all. The Array seemed like an independent world. Lin Fan just stood there quietly, his expression calm and untroubled. However, at this time, when everyone looked at Lin Fan, they all had an unusual glint in their eyes. After a while, the Seventh Elder was still dashing back and forth within the Array. Finally, Lin Fan spoke up: "Seventh Elder, don't waste your effort. You can't break out, just admit defeat!" The Seventh Elder stopped, and said loudly, "Fine, I admit defeat!" Lin Fan moved around the hall and quickly dispelled the Array. "How about it, Seventh Elder?" Lin Fan looked at the Seventh Elder with a faintly smiling expression. The Seventh Elder's face looked slightly uncomfortable, but soon he burst into a hearty laugh and said loudly, "Good lad, truly extraordinary. I concede and will fully support you with anything in the Lin Family from now on!" The others didn't speak. However, at this time, everyone's hearts began to fill with joy. Had the Lin Family really produced a powerful Array Master? At this moment, Lin Zhenxiong asked, "Lin Fan, are you really confident that you can repair the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array?" "Yes!" Lin Fan didn't say anything else superfluous and simply nodded. Lin Zhenxiong said, "Alright, the responsibility for repairing the Lin Family's Array now falls on you." Lin Fan replied, "However, Grandfather, the materials needed to completely repair the Lin Family's Array are quite numerous." Lin Zhenxiong immediately said, "No matter what materials are needed, as long as our Lin Family can procure them, we will fully support you." Having said this, Lin Zhenxiong paused for a moment before asking Lin Fan again, "By the way, how long will the Array repair take?" Lin Fan replied indifferently, "Not too long, at most half a day." Lin Zhenxiong stood up and said, "Half a day?" He paused, then continued, "Half a day is more than enough!" Afterwards, Lin Fan began to wholeheartedly improve the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array. At the same time, while Lin Fan was working on the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array, inside the City Lord Mansion of Heavenly Martial City. The City Lord of Heavenly Martial City, Fang Qianqu, was ablaze with rage. "Damn it, this damn Lin Family has gone too far. A piece of Lin Family trash dared to kill my City Lord Mansion's young master? Dared to kill my son, simply not putting my City Lord Mansion in their eyes at all!" Fang Qianqu said angrily. His voice even carried a roaring tone. Someone stepped forward and said, "City Lord, I believe it is time to act against the Lin Family, to completely obliterate them from Heavenly Martial City." "Oh?" Fang Qianqu looked toward the speaker and asked, "Advisor, what do you mean by that?" It turned out that the person who had just spoken was the Advisor of the City Lord Mansion. The Advisor spoke, "City Lord, previously, we hesitated to act against the Lin Family because they had Lin Tianyu, the first expert of Heavenly Martial City. If we were to act against the Lin Family, even if we managed to destroy them, we too would inevitably suffer heavy losses. However, the situation is different now. Lin Tianyu is deeply stuck in the Space Fragments of the Outer Realm Battlefield, he is sure to die there. Acting against the Lin Family now, we have nothing to fear." Fang Qianqu didn't immediately agree and swept his gaze over the others, asking, "And you all? What do you think?" The crowd expressed their agreement, repeatedly saying, "We agree to act against the Lin Family, to completely eradicate them." The majority had spoken, all willing to take action against the Lin Family.
