The copying ability was constantly analyzing the peculiarities of the square formation formed by the six instructors before him. At this moment, apart from Ling Yun and the hexagonal square formation, all the other instructors and Luo Panxi and the other two unconsciously stood at a distance. Some instructors even released their mental energy fields for protection; the cautious attitude of these powerful individuals alone revealed the terrifying power of this simple formation.
A large amount of data was transmitted back to Lingyun's mind. The information showed that after the six people's telekinetic energy rotated in the same direction, their mental energy fields would merge into a peculiar three-dimensional hexagonal structure, just like a honeycomb magnified countless times. Theoretically speaking, the hexagonal structure of the honeycomb has the strongest resistance. This is the most scientific achievement left behind by natural selection after countless years of natural selection.
Clearly, the hexagonal structure of the mental field possesses more than just defense. Data transmitted back from the replicated ability indicates that the array also has the function of converting defense into offense. Compass West has already pointed this out, so it seems that this is what is meant by integrated offense and defense.
Buzz...
The hexagonal array emitted a unique sound indicating the operation of telekinesis. Normally, the activation of telekinesis is silent, but when the telekinesis becomes strong enough, it will produce a buzzing sound if left uncontrolled. This indicates that the combined power of the six instructors has become uncontrollable. Moreover, tiny air vortices are constantly appearing around the array, which shows that the array's energy has reached an abyss-like level in a very short time, causing the unusual phenomena in the air to occur unconsciously.
A flash of silver light appeared, and the six expressionless instructors were instantly enveloped in a tangible battle robe that seemed to be made of mercury. Dozens of intersecting silver beams, each about the thickness of a cup, connected each other between the robes. The six men were like moving pillars, with the silver light acting as the connecting links, forming a silver hexagonal array.
The square formation was no longer empty; a pale blue, transparent light net quickly settled within it, transforming in a moment into a smooth, mirror-like blue surface. The color deepened with the continuous stimulation of the mental energy field, the blue surface resembling a pool of azure water, yet even a gentle breeze could not stir up the slightest ripple.
Soon, ripples spread across the deep blue surface of light. The ripples grew faster and faster, and with a soft whooshing sound, a hexagonal prism, like a blue crystal, slowly emerged from the surface of light. It then hovered in the very center of the surface and began to rotate automatically. With each rotation, Ling Yun felt the energy emanating from the hexagonal array intensify.
He couldn't help but look up, and was immediately taken aback. He didn't know when, but a bright, dazzling golden star had appeared in the clear blue sky. Below the star was the crystal hexagon at the center of the hexagonal array. Although they were so far apart, he couldn't discern whether the golden star was real or an illusion created by the combined power of the six instructors. However, Ling Yun clearly sensed a subtle yet continuous connection between the golden star and the crystal hexagon.
Suddenly, the six instructors shouted in unison and took a step forward.
With just one step, Ling Yun suddenly felt a tremendous tremor in his mind, as if he had been swept by an incomparably powerful mental field, and involuntarily took a step back.
Startled, Ling Yun involuntarily raised his lightsaber and faced the array from a distance of tens of meters. An invisible pressure, as heavy as a mountain, came from the front. Ling Yun's hands clenched tightly. The hexagonal array already possessed such power in terms of aura and strength. If the array were to actually operate, how powerful would it be?
For the first time, Ling Yun's expression turned incredibly solemn. The power of the hexagonal array had exceeded his expectations; a panoramic view couldn't even be formed within ten meters of its front! Let alone individual strength, even with the combined power of the yellow book's barrier, he was no match for it. It seemed that only by unleashing power beyond his limits, coupled with the energy support of the Heavenly Net barrier, could he possibly contend with this array.
A bitter smile suddenly appeared on his face as he realized why Luo Panxi had so generously promised to stop making things difficult for him once he broke the formation. It turned out that Ling Yun had just discovered that the formation not only possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities, but could also lock onto the attacker's aura within a certain distance. Due to the invisible constraint of energy, the attacker could not escape unless the formation was broken, unless a super-strong individual with overwhelming power could forcefully sever the energy lock in an instant and escape unscathed. However, Ling Yun naturally didn't have that ability. Even if he wanted to leave the Superpower Headquarters through the Skynet, he would have to break the formation first.
Chapter 201 I'm Here
The six instructors shouted in unison again and took a step forward together. The immense energy wave swept across once more, but this time Ling Yun had learned his lesson and wasn't caught off guard like the first time.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his lightsaber and swung it twice at the hexagonal array. With two sharp swishes, two intersecting silver light slashes instantly shot out from his lightsaber and swiftly slashed diagonally towards the array.
With two loud bangs, the silver light slashed at the formation, seemingly encountering an invisible and solid barrier a dozen meters in front of it. It only sparked a burst of brilliant sparks in the air before disappearing into nothingness.
Ling Yun nodded secretly. The hexagonal array's defensive method was similar to what he had expected. Moreover, the data analyzed by his copying ability also showed that the array formed a penetrating force field within a radius of several meters, rendering any attack, including non-physical attacks, ineffective. Ling Yun frowned. He had originally hoped that the data analysis from his copying ability would allow him to find the array's weaknesses, giving him a basis for his attack. However, this tortoise-shell-like method was the most difficult to break. Although this meant that the array, like a tortoise, was inflexible, it was still difficult to breach unless forcibly broken by external force, which he unfortunately lacked.
After thinking for a moment, he unleashed four more light slashes in quick succession. This time, Ling Yun used half his power. Four light slashes were enough to make an instructor-level expert temporarily retreat.
Four more sounds, like striking tattered leather, followed, but the formation remained unscathed. Even with Ling Yun's added force, it seemed to be a waste of energy. However, unlike before, after the light slash, the hexagonal crystal at the center of the hexagonal formation suddenly shone brightly with blue light, as if in response to Ling Yun. The blue light gradually condensed into a deep blue orb on the crystal, and then, a beam of blue light as thick as a bowl suddenly shot out.
Ling Yun was taken aback. The blue light was incredibly fast. In the midst of the crisis, Ling Yun quickly leaped upwards, narrowly avoiding the blue beam of light.
With a deafening roar, the blue beam of light slammed into the flower stand across the square. The heavy steel flower stand, weighing hundreds of kilograms, and the flowerpots, each weighing a ton, flew into the air like pebbles in a child's hand. In the blink of an eye, the white-painted steel flower stand was reduced to rubble, turning into countless broken pieces of iron and angle steel of varying sizes, and countless flowerpots crashing to the ground.
Ling Yun broke out in a cold sweat while in mid-air. If he had been hit by that beam of blue light, his fate would probably not have been much better than that of the steel flower stand. He never expected that the hexagonal light array would launch an attack so quickly.
The hexagonal crystal shone brightly with blue light once more, followed by another beam of blue light of the same thickness, even faster than before, which shot out rapidly towards Ling Yun in mid-air.
Ling Yun's expression hardened; being in mid-air, he couldn't easily dodge. Instead, he decided to test his skills against the blue light. He swung his lightsaber with tremendous force, unleashing a silver beam that clashed instantly with the blue light.
With a deafening roar, the silver light instantly shattered into countless points of light. The remaining blue light, undeterred, shot upwards even faster, striking Ling Yun squarely in the chest with a resounding thud, instantly knocking him heavily down from the sky.
Ling Yun felt as if he had been struck heavily in the chest by a giant iron hammer. His vision went black, and he spun around before crashing to the ground. Fortunately, his body was incredibly tough. Apart from creating a crater nearly a meter deep in the ground, he was otherwise unharmed. A burning pain shot through his chest, but it quickly subsided and became cool. His self-healing ability had once again played a crucial role at a critical moment.
The blue light had nothing particularly strange about it, except that its attack power was enormous and its speed was extremely fast. Once it attacked continuously, it was difficult to dodge. Although Ling Yun had tried his best to block it with his telekinetic powers, he still couldn't withstand the power of the blue light. If it weren't for the silver light offsetting most of the blue light's attack power, Ling Yun would have been seriously injured in just one blow.
In terms of physical attack alone, Blue Light is even several points stronger than Wu Xun's heavy punch.
The azure hexagonal shape flashed blue light again, as if gathering energy to shoot out another blue beam of light. This time, Ling Yun dared not be careless. His copying ability had already completely disassembled the outer part of the hexagonal array. At least for this moment, Ling Yun knew the trajectory of the blue beam of light.
With a whoosh, two blue beams of light shot over in succession. Ling Yun's figure suddenly disappeared, dodging the attack at the last second. The next moment, his figure appeared above the formation. Suddenly, a blue light flashed on the silver lightsaber, and three blue flames separated from the lightsaber, appearing above the light blue hexagon as if they were sentient beings.
The azure flames paused slightly a few meters above the formation, encountering an invisible barrier. Ling Yun showed no surprise; if the formation had invisible force fields protecting it from all sides, then there would be none above as well. However, this time, the energy fire wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
Sure enough, the blue flames burned even more fiercely when they encountered the invisible force field. In the blink of an eye, the three small flames had merged into a blue sea of flames. The force field defense was an external energy reaction of telekinesis, which actually added fuel to the fire.
The light blue hexagon seemed to sense the unusual energy fire, and the blue light intensified once again. However, this time it did not shoot out the same blue beam as before, but instead formed a vortex-like light blue fountain that suddenly rose from the center of the array, enveloping the energy fire like a flower, and then slowly sank into the light surface at the center of the array.
Ling Yun watched this strange change intently, a sudden chill running through him. The energy fire was a flame separated from his body, and even from a distance, he could naturally sense it. However, as the energy fire sank beneath the light at the center of the array, it instantly severed his connection with it. This meant that the energy fire had either been devoured or annihilated.
Unexpectedly, the hexagonal array has such a strong defensive function. The energy fire is already one of the most powerful attack methods. Even Wu Xun's transformed body could not withstand the burning flames, but it could not do anything to this array.
Ling Yun was about to use his Illusionary Eye to examine the changes under the light at the center of the hexagonal array more closely when his copying ability was constantly transmitting data. However, when encountering arrays with extremely strong defensive energy or individuals with special abilities, the speed at which his copying ability analyzed the data would slow down. From the moment the hexagonal array was first formed until now, his copying ability had only just analyzed the changes in the array's defenses and the attack trajectory of the blue light pillars.
Ling Yun suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. His eyes flashed with a bright silver light, and under the Eye of Illusion, six faint, almost transparent, phantom-like ripples silently rose rapidly from the hexagon. Even though he didn't sense any power, Ling Yun intuitively felt as if he had encountered a terrifying flood or ferocious beast.
The six illusory ripples were incredibly fast, even faster than the blue beam of light. Ling Yun was shocked and quickly turned his body to the side in mid-air. His telekinetic control was extremely strong, making him as agile and nimble in the air as he was on the ground. The six ripples were already several meters away from him when they vanished in a flash. However, the last two ripples suddenly and strangely changed direction, grazing his waist with a single stroke. Ling Yun's body, which was harder than refined steel after his energy crystallization, immediately developed two deep and long scorching wounds. The blood that had just gushed out turned into wisps of green smoke.
Ling Yun screamed in agony as his figure vanished into thin air in an instant. The Eye of Illusion flashed for a moment, concealing even his aura.
A flash of azure light appeared on the hexagon, and six more invisible ripples emanated from it. However, this time, the aura of Lingyun was lost; the illusory ripples simply shot straight into the sky in a straight line and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Ling Yun stood in the void, a fleeting look of pain on his face. His self-healing was rapidly restoring his injuries, the wounds slowly closing, but this time, the healing speed was noticeably slower, and the pain was much more intense. Clearly, the illusory ripples were an extremely powerful attack, causing far greater damage than the blue beam of light. Moreover, the illusory ripples appeared too quickly and silently; the copying ability hadn't even had time to complete its detection before the ripples vanished without a trace.
If Ling Yun hadn't possessed the Eye of Illusion, he wouldn't have even been able to see the shape of the ripples. What's even more unexpected is that the illusory ripples could automatically change their attack range based on the aura of the attacked party. Such a bizarre attack is truly terrifying.
Ling Yun dared not reveal himself again. A few more attacks like this would be fatal. Furthermore, the copying ability couldn't scan or observe, making it impossible to find weaknesses in the attacks. If he revealed even a trace of his aura, he would become a sitting duck for homing missiles. Fortunately, the Eye of Illusion had developed advanced stealth abilities, allowing him to conceal his aura. Otherwise, the hexagonal array, also capable of tracking based on an ability user's aura, could attack Ling Yun even without revealing himself, solely based on his aura.
Everyone was astonished to see Ling Yun manage to dodge the illusory ripples. The most unpredictable aspect of the hexagonal formation was precisely these eerie illusory ripples; they were invisible and silent when unleashed, and could even change direction mid-attack, making them virtually impossible to defend against. Aside from high-level ability users who could physically block them, there was almost no way to defend against them. They wondered how this young man had detected the illusory ripples' attack and managed to dodge it at the most dangerous moment. Although he was still injured, the instructors realized that if they were in Ling Yun's shoes, they probably wouldn't have been able to do it and would likely have perished on the spot.
The formation moved slowly, like a tortoise searching for prey. This was almost its only weakness—its slow speed. However, its ability to lock onto an opponent's aura made it nearly flawless. Each instructor's mental energy field was highly concentrated, operating according to the formation's own profound and complex laws, unleashing various incredible defensive and offensive techniques. But another consequence of this was that all six instructors lost their ability to make independent judgments, involuntarily and precisely channeling their own supernatural abilities according to the formation's operation until the opponent was eliminated or the formation was breached.
Is there no other way? Ling Yun thought silently in the void, his lightsaber unconsciously assuming an attack stance, his mental energy field constantly reinforcing itself, ready to unleash a devastating and unstoppable strike at any moment. However, with his current abilities, even if they were three times stronger, there was absolutely no way he could break through the hexagonal array.
Whether for defense or offense, the hexagonal array was virtually flawless. Ling Yun was at a loss; his energy fire, already near-top-tier attack method, was still ineffective. Other supernatural abilities, including Blood Eye and Azure Eye, even if they could be tried, were uncertain in terms of their true effectiveness, potentially exposing his trump cards to everyone. The Eye of Illusion wasn't usable indefinitely, especially for concealing his aura and form; he wasn't sure he could maintain it for long.
Is it really necessary to rely on the power of the Skynet to break the formation? Ling Yun sighed slowly, his fingers reaching out in the void, about to draw a three-dimensional light map to control it.
