With a trap set inside a desolate bone, even if the person trying to break the array knew that there was a trap, it would not be easily cracked. This was because to crack the array, one had to sink one’s mental energy into the desolate bone, and once that happened, it would trigger the trap, causing the desolate beast’s essence Qi to form a backlash to one’s mental energy. The result after that was quite obvious.
This could only be avoided if one’s Desolate Heaven technique was superb, to the point where one could undo the trap Song Ziyue had laid at the moment one’s mental energy sank into the desolate bone. And Lin Yuan clearly did not have this ability.
Lin Yuan retreated back to the Evening Breeze Pavilion with his face pale. After consuming a Soul Nurturing pill, and readjusting his dislocated arm, he barely managed to regain some Yuan Qi.
“I was careless. Too careless. I accidentally fell into this fellow’s trap. If I knew that there was a trap in the desolate bone, I would definitely not have turned out this way.”
Lin Yuan, who returned to the Evening Breeze Pavilion, felt embarrassed facing his juniors. He had directed the battle previously and arranged the order in which people went up, making him seem like the leader of the Evening Breeze Pavilion.
However, the moment he went up he fell into a trap just as he attempted to extract the first desolate bone’s energy. Thus he lost, even though Song Ziyue had said that just extracting 30% would give him victory.
He had not even managed to extract a single bit of energy. Having completely failed, it was too embarrassing!
“This kid first mentioned the 30% of energy to divert my attention, making me miss the possibility of there being a trap in the desolate bone. He is too cunning!”
As Lin Yuan gave some thought to it, he began to spout some unconvincing excuses. Not far away, Yi Yun shook his head gently when he heard him. In a showdown between Desolate Heaven Masters, it was all about using one’s ability to create all sorts of obstacles for one’s opponents. Setting a trap within a desolate bone was a very common practice.
Back when he first came into contact with the Desolate Heaven technique, and was extracting the Lin Bone Gall, Luo Huo’er, who was unhappy with him, had set a trap in the Lin Bone Gall. She had hoped that he would cause it to explode when he injected his mental energy into it, drenching him in bile.
However, Yi Yun had seen through it, causing Luo Huo’er to succumb to the trap herself.
Of course, compared to Luo Huo’er’s trap, that was just a mischievous prank, Song Ziyue’s method of using a desolate beast’s essence Qi was more lethal. It could kill.
“Anyone else?” Song Ziyue said on stage. He took out another piece of bone from his interspatial ring, placing it down in the spot where the Flaming Fire Python’s desolate bone had been. This bone was not a fire-elemental desolate bone, but a water-elemental one.
This surprised people. Every time Song Ziyue set up the Five Elemental Bone Array, the arrangement of the desolate bones were different.
Such an ever-changing array was most troublesome as it would be much more difficult to figure out the rules.
“As long as you a Desolate Heaven technique apprentice below the age of 18, feel free to challenge my Five Elemental Bone Array! If you can break 30% of it, you win!”
Song Ziyue was extremely confident. His provocation made many disciples of the Lin family angry. Song Ziyue was only 16 years old, yet he proclaimed that any Desolate Heaven technique apprentice below the age of 18 could challenge him.
However, though people were indignant about it, they knew that it was certain that the array set up by Song Ziyue was extremely hard to deal with. Lin Yuan, who was the personal disciple of the middle-aged man surnamed Sun, was quite outstanding in terms of his Desolate Heaven technique in the Lin family. Unfortunately, he did not manage to extract even a single bit of energy from the Five Elemental Bone Array. He lost instantly.
Lin Yuan said that he had been careless and fell for the trap, but everyone knew that Song Ziyue had set up an extremely profound, hidden trap. This caused Lin Yuan to be unable to discover it, if not, he wouldn’t have lost so miserably.
Under these circumstances, even if someone had told Lin Yuan that there was a trap in the bone, he would probably still have been unable to do anything about it.
Yi Yun looked at Song Ziyue and furrowed his eyebrows. His goal in participating in the Desolate Heaven technique tea session was very clear. He was here to mess things up!
Previously, when Lin Yuan attempted to send Yi Yun up to participate in the 64 people group match, Yi Yun lacked interest. Those who participated in the group match were a bunch of nobodies. Yi Yun would only waste his mental energy by going up, it would be meaningless.
He would only go on stage at such a moment when a top Desolate Heaven Master apprentice from the opposite side appeare
