That city guard said with a hearty laugh, "Boy, you're very sensible! I like you! You wait here. I heard that the transmission array was damaged very badly this time. Master Wu they all are really lacking manpower."
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Big Brother."
Ye Yuan smuggling inside was naturally not in order to learn. He wanted to fix the grand array.
Rather than waiting for that whatever array emperor to come, it was not as fast as getting to work himself.
The super transmission array was not one grand array, but combined together from many major and minor array formations; very complicated.
Among these had Tier 9 array formations, Tier 8 too, and even Tier 7 array formations.
Those Array Masters inside right now were all repairing array formations under Tier 9. Tier 9 array formations, naturally only Array Emperors understood.
However, these array formations was not a difficult thing to Ye Yuan. Hence, that was why he came forward of his own accord to offer his services, saying that he wanted to go in and learn.
When Ye Yuan looked over at this time, that Master Wu was currently utterly exhausted from overwork. Managing the restoration of such a grand array was clearly somewhat forceful to him.
Ye Yuan saw the city guard went up to exchange a couple of words with him, then turned back.
Seeing Ye Yuan, the city guard smiled and said, "You, boy, are lucky. Master Wu just happen to be lacking manpower and asks you to hurry over. But Master Wu said, if you go over and cause trouble, he'll slap you to death with one palm! Don't blame me for not warning you. Master Wu's temper is very bad. You have to be careful."
Regarding this result, it was not out of Ye Yuan's expectations. Super transmission arrays were very complicated. To Tier 8 Array Masters, it was indeed a little forceful.
He swept a glance earlier and knew that inside was really lacking manpower. So with people delivering themselves to the gate, they should not refuse.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Big Brother. Don't look at how Younger Brother is young, my foundations are still very solid. I won't make a mess."
Chapter 855 - Experts Walk Among the Masses
"En, good that it's solid. If it isn't solid and you annoy Master Wu, the one courting death is yourself too. Alright, come with me then," the city guard said coolly.
Regarding Ye Yuan's life or death, he could not be bothered. As long as there was money to earn, it was fine.
The two people were just about to turn around and leave when suddenly, a clear and melodious voice stopped them from behind, "Hey, hey, two Big Brothers, are you guys lacking people who know array formations here?"
Turning around to take a look, turns out that it was a beautiful lady wearing a flaming red fur dress.
This lady seemed to be even a little younger than Ye Yuan's age. But her strength could not be underestimated. It actually reached Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment already.
The girlie looked very pretty. That city guard was still thinking of flying off the handle, but the moment he saw her, he immediately put out the fire.
"Uh … You know array formations too?" The city guard asked.
The girlie nodded her head like a chicken pecking for rice and said with a wide beam, "I know, I know! Don't look at how I'm young, I'm a true-blue Tier 7 Array Master!"
The city guard sized this girlie up and down a bit, his gaze filled with disbelief.
"Huh? You don't believe? I'll display a move for you to see!"
The girlie seemed to have suffered some stimulation, casually lay down a miniature array formation. Her technique actually flowed smoothly and naturally.
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up. This girlie looked like she came from a family with profound teachings. Just this move was even stronger compared to quite a few Tier 8 Array Masters.
The city guard's eyes turned intent, and he nodded and said, "Alright, you come too!"
The girlie looked at Ye Yuan with a smug smile and followed along as well.
"Master Wu, these two …"
The city guard had yet to finish talking when he was interrupted by Master Wu, "You two each set up a miniature Tier 5 array formation for me. If you can't set it up, get lost right now for me!"
Master Wu was clearly very impatient. There were even people coming up to seek guidance from him every now and time and were given a good dressing down by him.
Looks like he indeed had a hot temper.
That girl's lips pursed and she said disdainfully, "Tch, isn't it just a Tier 5 array formation? Watch carefully!"
As she said, the girlie imitated what was done before, and only used around ten breaths of time to finish laying down a Tier 5 array formation.
Master Wu was overjoyed the moment he saw and repeatedly praised, "Good, good, good! A fine Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation! You, lassie, do indeed have some Dao attainments. You can stay! You follow me in a while, I'll tell you what to do."
When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.
Although the lass looked young, her technique was extremely skillful. To be able to set up a Tier 5 array formation within ten breaths of time, her formations attainments would not be too poor.
Master Wu was an expert. He could naturally perceive clumsiness at a glance.
Honestly speaking, he really lacked this kind of people who knew the ropes under his charge to act as an assistant. This girlie just happened to be perfect.
"Hey, your turn!" the girlie looked at Ye Yuan sneeringly and said.
She was roughly as old as Ye Yuan and did not believe that Ye Yuan could casually set up such a Tier 5 array formation.
"Hurry up, don't waste this old man's time! This super transmission array is damaged very badly. We must complete some fundamental array formation repairs before the Tier 9 Array Emperor comes over!" Master Wu said impatiently.
Witnessing the girlie's methods, Master Wu did not think that Ye Yuan could reach this sort of level either.
The Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation was a very profound Tier 5 array formation. Wanting to finish setting it up within ten breaths was indeed rather challenging for Tier 7 Array Masters.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and made his move like lightning!
With this movement, Master Wu and the girlie's gaze immediately sharpened!
"This boy is intentionally provoking me, no? It's actually the Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation too! This missus doesn't believe that you can set it up even better than this missus!" The girlie was secretly displeased.
But Ye Yuan's performance disappointed her.
Ten breaths!
Just nice ten breaths of time, no more, no less. Ye Yuan similarly finished setting up the formation.
Seeing Ye Yuan finish setting up the formation, Master Wu could not help being slightly dazed.
Experts in arrays were the same as alchemists, all rare species. To be able to have such formations attainments at a young age was even rarer.
He did not think that today he would see two of them all at once!
The Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation which Ye Yuan set up was virtually identical with the girlie's. Even the time was grasped just nice.
This skill was not what ordinary people could accomplish.
"Master Wu, done," Ye Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Ah! Good, very good! The two of you are both pretty good, really not bad! There's a Tier 7 child-formation over there that's damaged very badly. Not many people here are qualified to take on the duty. The two of you go and give it a try. Keep in mind, if you encounter anything you don't know, come and ask me. Don't ruin the array formation," Master Wu said.
"Alright, Master Wu. We'll get going." Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.
"Hey, what are you walking so quickly for? Wait for me!" The girlie hurriedly chased after when she saw that Ye Yuan left.
The girlie caught up to Ye Yuan and said with an unkind tone, "Hey, punk! Did you do it i
ntentionally just now?"
Ye Yuan acted dumb and said, "Intentionally? What does miss mean?"
The girlie pursed her mouth and said, "Quit playing possum! Similarly Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation, likewise ten breaths. How can there be such a coincidental thing? Own up, did you go easy just now?"
With Ye Yuan's formations attainments, how could setting up a Tier 5 array formation require ten breaths of time?
The reason why he did it was just that Ye Yuan did not wish to stand out too much.
As long as he controlled it at ten breaths of time, Master Wu could not say anything.
Ye Yuan still feigned ignorance and said, "Not at all. I already tried my best before barely managing to complete within ten breaths. Miss is overly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e."
The girlie blinked and said, "Is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true! The Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation isn't an ordinary Tier 5 array formation; Completing within ten breaths, I already performed exceptionally well," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
The girlie thought about it and felt that it made sense too, and she said, "Makes sense! Just that old fellow earlier, setting up a Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation is probably around ten breaths time or so as well. Even if you're any stronger, it's impossible to surpass him too."
"That's right! Alright, time is tight. We'd better not lose time and repair the array formation at once," Ye Yuan said.
The girlie was startled and revealed a look of panic in her eyes. She quickly nodded and said, "Oh, right, right, right, quickly repair the array formation!"
This set of Tier 7 array formation was an utter piece of cake to Ye Yuan.
That lass clearly had exceedingly high attainments in Formations Dao too. In less than an hour's time, the two people finished repairing this Tier 7 child-formation.
"Hehe, really couldn't tell that you're pretty impressive in array formations. To actually be able to keep up with this miss's speed! I'm called Ding Shiyu, you?"
"Ye Yuan."
"Ye Yuan? Really never heard before! This region's famous Formations Dao geniuses, I know all. Never heard of your name before. Looks like experts walk among the masses!" Ding Shiyu thought for a long time and did not figure out who Ye Yuan was either.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Divine Realm is so large, how many people can you know? Alright, let's report completion of the task to Master Wu."
Chapter 856 - Secretly Making a Move
"What?! You guys already finished repairing? The two of you weren't slipshod with the task, right?"
Hearing Ye Yuan duo report completion of the task, Master Wu was startled until he raised his voice.
"Tch, how can a mere Tier 7 array formation stump this miss? If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look," Ding Shiyu said disdainfully.
Master Wu really did not believe and immediately went to inspect the array formation the duo repaired.
With this look, he could not help being greatly astonished once more. This Tier 7 child-formation was really restored perfectly.
He looked at the duo somewhat not daring to believe it. Wasn't this efficiency a little too high?
"Tier 7 array formations are too simple. I say, Master Wu, can you give us more complicated array formations? This miss is still in a hurry!" Ding Shiyu said.
"This … Can you repair Tier 8 array formations?" Master Wu said, rather uncertain.
"Of course! Initial-stage Tier 8 array formations are definitely not a problem!" Ding Shiyu said with a proud look.
Restoring array formations and setting up array formations was different. As long as one understood the principle and structure of Tier 8 array formations, Tier 7 Array Masters were able to do it.
Ding Shiyu's basics were very solid. Tier 7 array formations should have been thoroughly memorized in her heart long ago. She might really have dabbled in Tier 8 array formations.
Master Wu thought about it, nodded his head, and said, "Fine then, Tier 8 Array Masters' helpers are just kind of short right now. You go over there and help them."
Ding Shiyu smiled sweetly when she heard that. Giving Ye Yuan a smug look, she went over in the direction of that group of Tier 8 Array Masters.
Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head and chuckling. This lass was clearly secretly contending with him. This was insisting on competing with him.
That glance earlier was clearly saying: I can repair Tier 8 array formations, can you?
After Ding Shiyu left, Master Wu asked rather weakly, "Can … you repair Tier 8 array formations too?"
But Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "I can't repair Tier 8 array formations. Master Wu, you go and work first. I'll walk around and see where needs help."
Master Wu sighed in relief and said with a nod, "Alright, then you go around and take a look. There are still quite a number of Tier 7 array formations that require people to help. You see which place needs it, then go ahead yourself."
If Ye Yuan could repair Tier 8 array formations too, Master Wu would really have to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Two little brats had this kind of strength. His many years of life was really wasted away.
But regarding Ye Yuan's strength, Master Wu was still very certain. Helping to repair Tier 7 array formations, Master Wu felt very safe, he did not plan on bothering about him either.
Ding Shiyu already started work on this side. Tier 8 array formation, it was clearly much more strenuous on her.
However, she still paid very close attention to the situation on Ye Yuan's side.
Seeing Master Wu come over alone, she still felt slightly disappointed.
Since young, she had yet to encounter before an Array Master in the same age group who could contend with her. Therefore, meeting Ye Yuan today, her d.e.s.i.r.e to prevail over others was stirred up too.
Although she was rather confident in her formations ability, no idea why, she kept feeling that Ye Yuan held back to some extent.
"Master Wu, why isn't that Ye Yuan coming over?" Ding Shiyu could not help going forward to ask.
Master Wu said, "He says that he can't repair Tier 8 array formations, so I let him walk around by himself and see which place needs help, then he can go for it. With his strength, repairing array formations under Tier 8 shouldn't be a problem."
Logically speaking, Ding Shiyu should be very happy right now. But don't know why, Ding Shiyu felt that her interest was somewhat waning.
The opponent must be comparable in strength and skill for it to be interesting. Finally managed to encounter an opponent, but it was this kind of conclusion. This made Ding Shiyu feel dull and bored.
"Like that huh, then I'll get to work," Ding Shiyu said dejectedly.
After Master Wu left, Ye Yuan started strolling all around by himself. Occasionally, when he saw that people needed help, he would go over and lend a hand.
It was obviously not that he could not repair Tier 8 array formations, but what he wanted to repair were the Tier 9 array formations!
It was just that rashly mentioning that he wanted to repair the Tier 9 array formations, Master Wu definitely would not agree. Therefore, he drove away Master Wu, but he himself slowly moved over towards the Tier 9 array formations there.
"Really impressive, Little Brother! I've been doing for a long time here and didn't figure it out either. You solved the problem the moment you came," said a Tier 7 Array Master, raising a thumbs up to Ye Yuan.
"This array formation's array element is a bit confusing. Actually, figuring it out isn't hard. You carry on, I'll go over there and walk around," Ye Yuan said.
"Little Brother, over there is the Tier 9 array formations region already," warned the Array Master.
"En, I know. Tier 9 array formations are not so easy to encounter. I'll go over and take a look," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
That Array Master nodded his head but was filled with admiration towards Ye Yuan in his heart.
Look at that young man, so studious. No wonder h
e has such strength at a young age.
The Tier 9 array formations' area did not have a single person. Everyone was busy with their own work, and no one noticed Ye Yuan's actions either.
Apart from Ye Yuan, there would not be people overestimating their own strength to come and repair Tier 9 array formations either.
A super transmission array's Tier 9 array formations, speaking in terms of Formations Dao, it was not considered very hard. Initial-stage Array Emperors could repair them already.
After comprehending the Array Formations Three Volumes, Ye Yuan's attainments in formations Dao scaled new heights. Repairing this kind of array formations was naturally nothing difficult.
Observing one round around the array formations, Ye Yuan already had a score in his heart about the structure of these array formations.
Tier 9 array formations' stability was still very strong. So the damage was not too severe.
This super transmission array, the most serious damage were still those low-level array formations.
This set of Tier 9 array formation, only a section of some small-scale array elements was ruined. It was just that these array elements' structure was very complex and belonged to the scope of Tier 9 array formations. It was very hard for Tier 8 Array Masters to understand.
But these were not a problem to Ye Yuan. Setting up such a large-scale array formation, he could not do it. But repairing this kind of small-scale array formations, it was still not a problem to him.
Ye Yuan did not delay much either and directly started to repair these small-scale array elements.
"Have you all seen Ye Yuan? Oh, he's a young man, a little over 20 years old," Master Wu asked.
He encountered a troublesome Tier 7 array formation over at his side, but he could not handle it alone, so he thought of Ye Yuan.
Even though Ye Yuan was very new to everyone, he was too young. Placed among this group of people, it was very obvious.
"Oh, he said that he wanted to study Tier 9 array formations and went over there," the Tier 7 Array Master that Ye Yuan helped previously said.
