Chapitre 47: Breaking the Barrier
"You sure you can solve it?" Huo Chen asked as he and Wang Sheng observe Wu Xiaotian roaming around and poking along some areas of the barrier, Wang Sheng, with clear concern in his mind asked, "Old Tian, you won't be affected much by solving it right? You need to save some energy to explore the palace"
Seeing the two young men looking out for him, Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but appreciate them even further.
"No problem, I only need to use a bit of my spirit qi to interfere with the formation's layout" he assured the two of them as he continues poking around the barrier, roaming all across it causing the three of them to gather attention from all of the people around.
The two leading figures of the all-women camp, laying their eyes on them, eyes them with disdain particularly Wu Xiaotian, "Look at that boytoy Bing Xue, roaming around just to flaunt his connection with those two guys, I'm correct right? That guy amounts to nothing" Leng Yue said as she points her finger towards the three young men.
"You're right, last night should only be me seeing things" Bing Xue replied as she looks towards Wu Xiaotian now with indifference in her eyes.
Meanwhile, seeing the scene of three young men aimlessly going around the barrier, the other people all around couldn't help but wonder who the young man roaming with Huo Chen and Wang Sheng was, after all, those two are the leading figures of the Burning Soul Camp so for that young man to be able to go with them, it proves that his identity, if not his strength is the two's equals.
With them going all around, it is only a matter of time for all the people here to start wondering just who the young man was, that being said, the one with the most violent reaction among all of the people that saw the three of them is a young man with a fearful look shivering in a corner while muttering something.
"Damn it! Who would've guessed that he's related to those two… My opportunity to rise was lost now" the young man said to himself as he remembers the night before, the people he tries to share the information about Wu Xiaotian with all laughs at him when he requests to meet with the leader of the group and now that he sees his supposed ticket to greatness was lost, he starts developing hatred towards the guy.
"It should've been me in there" he gritted his teeth as he looks towards Wu Xiaotian with envy while clenching his fist hard.
"Brother Xie, what are you looking at?" another young man approached him, patting his shoulders with worry as he saw him not looking so good.
"It's nothing, Ah Gong, let's go and look at what that kid did to get that close to that two" the young man, Huang Xie said as he dismissed the other young man, refusing to tell his plan to tell the two leaders of the group about Wu Xiaotian as he was afraid of the guy stealing this opportunity.
As the numerous people observes the three, they eventually completed an entire circle around the barrier. Wu Xiaotian sat down in a lotus position, closing his eyes as he started carefully manipulating the qi, he leaves behind all across the formation, extremely careful to prevent the nature of the Transcendent Qi from being revealed, masking its nature with the pseudo-elemental nature that he comprehended previously.
'This is really risky, if someone powerful were to look at it they would immediately notice the oddity of my qi' he thought as he observes the appearance of the Transcendent Qi, before comforting himself, 'Whatever, no one is strong enough to notice so it's good enough for now'.
Forming obscure seals with his hands, they start turning into a blur as he goes faster and faster. Seeing this, the two beside him starts to get concerned as they thought what he was doing is starting to get hard, given his seemingly rushed performance.
If only the two know that Wu Xiaotian was still holding back in order to not surprise them too much, and only going at the bare minimum requirements form him to break the barrier.
After a few minutes, Huo Chen and Wang Sheng was already starting to get worried and was ready to interfere and force him to stop when they suddenly hear a sound of glass shattering, followed by the excited shout of the people all around.
"The barrier has fallen!!"
"Finally!! It is open!!"
"Hahaha this daddy is going to be rich after I go out!!"
Multiple voices were heard, all of them rushing towards the now open palace, their face filled with hopes of ascending in one step, even if not that, at least get some significant loot for them to use.
Shadows dashed from all around, among the most conspicuous of them are two ladies leaving behind a trail of blue frost qi from their steps. Passing through the group of three, the two ladies just harrumphed and roll their eyes as if to provoke them before speeding up even further, but the two young men was just watching from their spot, ignoring the antics of the two ladies while appreciating the view of the transparent barrier's shattered pieces distorting the sky before gradually disappearing to oblivion.
"You even wait for me… what good brothers" Wu Xiaotian gives a thumbs up as he opens his eyes, seeing the two of them waiting for him.
"Don't let your head get too big Old Tian… I'm only appreciating the view" Wang Sheng said as he points out towards the now fading barrier.
"Ahem… Old Wang, you should continue arguing with Old Tian while running, we're getting left behind by all the other people" Huo Chen said as he points out the last batch of people going inside the palace.
"What?! Damn!! Those ungrateful bastards!! After clinging at us shamelessly and benefiting from all we've done for them, they just rushed inside when faced with riches!! I'm so pissed!" Wang Sheng complained as comical fire comes out of his mouth.
"Hmm?? So that means those people are not that important to Brother Wang and Brother Huo?" hearing Wang Sheng's complains, Wu Xiaotian asked just to confirm as he immediately deduced that those group of people were not really people of the two, but rather, cultivators that gathered around them because of benefits.
"Yeah, at first, some people just shamelessly start following around, until the people eventually snowball, making it difficult for us to get rid of them" Huo Chen answered as he sighs in tiredness, as if all those peoples were mere baggage for him and Wang Sheng to carry.
"Then it's not so bad letting them go inside first" Wu Xiaotian said as he leisurely walks towards the palace, followed by the two. Seeing the two of them looking at him with a doubtful gaze, he starts explaining.
"That palace is clearly a high-level ground, given the barrier that protects it, would it really be so easy to infiltrate this kind of place?" he points out, enlightening the two as they start forming their own conjecture.
"That's right!! Why have I not thought of that? Just the barrier protecting it alone is this powerful, there will definitely be more troublesome things to deal with inside" Huo Chen deduced.
"That's not the best part!! With those guys going ahead of us, most of the things arranged inside will be cleared so we won't need to worry about it so much!!" Wang Sheng added enthusiastically before pointing out even further.
"Hehehe let them clear out the little loots inside, we'll swoop in when it's time to split the large cake!! Why have I not thought of that previously?!"
"Please Old Wang, you're so greedy for treasure that you won't even thought of that if not for Old Tian pointing out" Huo Chen mocks as Wang Sheng shows an 'I'm a damn genius' kind of face.
"Shut up Ah Chen!! Give me some face!!" Wang Sheng retorted, embarrassed from the on-point assessment of Huo Chen.
