The Invincible Strongest Student

"Master!"

At this moment, Xv Jiazhi shouted loudly, "Far right!"

Receiving the hint, Lin Tian also turned his gaze to look at the far right of the formation.

There indeed was a massive flaw there because there were fewer statues; even if they changed positions, there were still fewer statues there.

Remembering Xv Jiazhi’s appearance when he cracked mechanisms in the Octagonal Pavilion, Lin Tian loudly shouted, "Jiazhi, watch carefully. If there’s a flaw, inform me immediately!"

"Understood!" Xv Jiazhi responded loudly.

Clearing his mind and embracing a mindset of giving it a try, Lin Tian began to muster all his strength, like a raging bull, and charged towards the far right of the formation.

Although his speed was greatly limited, it was still not weak; at least he felt that his current speed could compete against Liu Xiang in the 100-meter hurdles.

In less than five seconds, like an arrow, he plunged into the center-right of the formation.

At this moment, the statues were still changing their positions, seemingly ignoring Lin Tian.

This was fantastic news, but before Lin Tian’s joy could spread on his face, a rancid stench rushed into his nose.

This stench was indescribable, causing dizziness and nausea, making the nose twitch and the stomach churn, ready to vomit at any moment.

Forcibly suppressing the pungent stench, Lin Tian began to use Spiritual Qi to seal his respiratory tract; undoubtedly, this stench was poison.

Even though he had taken an antidote down in the underground palace earlier, he couldn’t take the risk, and besides, the smell was too nauseating!

Even without oxygen, Spiritual Qi could sustain itself for a period, so it was not a problem.

The next second, Lin Tian’s biggest concern happened! The statues seemed to suddenly gain sentience, ’coming to life,’ charging towards him one after another.

Seeing the varied appearances of these statues, Lin Tian’s heart raced uncontrollably, wanting to weave and dodge to avoid them. He rolled on the ground once, and when he stood up, a statue had already brushed past him and collided with him, its speed and force akin to a speeding car. A collision would undoubtedly result in serious injury!

The recent roll had consumed a lot of Lin Tian’s stamina, leaving him gasping for breath.

Suddenly, another statue crashed towards him, its eyes glowing crimson, the color of blood!

Fearing that those eyes might have a hypnotizing effect, Lin Tian quickly averted his gaze, tightened his legs, and leapt high. As the statue approached, he stepped on its head and jumped again.

At this moment, his vision could overlook these forty statues, capturing their positions and movements entirely.

Although this process lasted only a moment, relying on his powerful memory, he remembered it.

Simultaneously, he also realized why the formation felt so familiar earlier. Damn it, it’s the formation inside the Thousand Jin Rock!

Everything made sense!

Lin Tian contemplated the formation inside Thousand Jin Rock every night. Though he had comprehended only about ten or twenty percent, it was enough to deal with the formation made by the statues!

Actually, Lin Tian hadn’t recognized it earlier because the formation inside Thousand Jin Rock was three-dimensional. The formation in the Wang Family’s underground palace was just an imitation, a mere copy. Not to mention, these statues placed on flat ground definitely lacked the prowess of the three-dimensional setup. Otherwise, Lin Tian would have already perished!

Lin Tian was certain that this formation also had an array core, similar to the one in the Thousand Jin Rock’s hilt, located at the very center. It was the key to the entire formation.

As long as he could break the array core, these statues would lose their power and become useless stones.

Realizing this filled Lin Tian with boundless joy. With a fierce determination, he plunged into the center of the formation again.

Seeing this, Xv Jiazhi’s eyes widened. He thought Lin Tian was insane! Heading towards the center was suicide, wasn’t it? There were the most statues there, and their positions were mysterious, ready to close in on Lin Tian and crush him into a meat patty.

Wang Sijing smiled even more openly. She also knew one of the statues was the array core, and now Lin Tian seemed to realize it too. This wasn’t necessarily good for him; the closer to the center, the greater the danger. Even a Golden Core expert’s power would be severely suppressed, unable to dodge the statues’ collisions. Was it not a path of self-destruction?

...

At this moment, Lin Tian was in a mess. He had attempted no less than ten times to rush towards the center of the formation, but each time he failed! When those statues charged towards him, the friction on the ground produced a loud noise, roaring like a bursting mountain torrent, a howling tsunami, leaving no choice but to dodge!

Even a simple collision was dizzyingly difficult to deal with, causing unbearable headaches.

Sometimes, these statues would charge two or three together, and at that time, it was a disaster for Lin Tian; besides dodging, he had to endure the air currents generated by the friction between the statues, scorching and painfully brushing on his skin. This filled his face with small but dense scratches, painfully twitching the muscles on his cheeks.

"Lin Tian! Beware the back!"

Chen Moxiang’s urgent voice suddenly rang out, and Lin Tian could hear her terror and anxiety through her voice.

At this moment, Lin Tian’s Sea of Qi was nearly exhausted, and the muscles on his body were sore and pained. He fully trusted Chen Moxiang, wanting to sidestep the danger behind him, but evidently, it was too late; the tearing sensation from the air current was already felt on his back.

Buzz!

The statue behind him roared as it collided, pressing against Lin Tian’s back. Just at the critical moment, it suddenly braked and stopped!

This caused cold sweat to emerge from every pore on Lin Tian’s body; he subconsciously turned his head, puzzled, gazing at the statue stuck to his back.

With its previous speed and force, it could have severely injured him, at least making it impossible to save his spine. But why did it stop?

Seeing this, Chen Moxiang’s expression also became remarkable. As the dignified captain of the sixth brigade of the Security Management Institute, she even rubbed her eyes as if not believing the scene before her.

Xv Jiazhi was equally puzzled, his face inadvertently revealing a joyful expression.

Only Wang Sijing’s face turned as dark as charcoal. She just wanted to stomp her feet and curse.

With thoughts swirling, a flash of insight struck Lin Tian. He understood what was happening!

Blood! It’s Wang Sijing’s blood!

Earlier, when he held her, his body was stained with her blood!

This formation was activated because of Wang Sijing’s Wang Family bloodline, and now the statue made contact with Wang Sijing’s blood, causing it to stop!
