Dashing Student Chapter 959: Breaking the Formation with Raw Strength

Chen Nan’s gaze was drawn to the blood-red patterns beneath the floor tiles. He crouched down, brushed aside the dirt, and concentrated on observing them.

The patterns twisted like worms, emitting a faint scent of blood. Staring at them for too long even caused a bit of dizziness.

"Monk Hua, come take a look at this. What is it?"

Xuan Hui walked over, examined it, and then shook his head. "This humble monk can’t recognize it, but it looks like a corner of an array."

"An array? Could this be the same array that has protected the Moon Palace for so long?"

Chen Nan furrowed his brows, thought for a long time, but couldn’t come up with an answer, so he didn’t delve further.

They walked directly through the main hall and arrived at the entrance of a door.

As they crossed the threshold, they were instantly transported from the main hall to another room.

This room was also constructed magnificently, but unlike the main hall, it had multiple rooms on both sides.

A faint glow flickered at the doorways, resembling small arrays.

At this moment, quite a few cultivators were breaking these arrays, and some rooms had already been breached and were completely ransacked.

"Chen Nan, these rooms must have good things in them! Otherwise, why else would they be protected by arrays?"

Tang Zhirou’s eyes lit up.

Chen Nan also saw the logic in it, but seeing the other cultivators trying every method to open the arrays, he knew they wouldn’t be easy to break.

Just then, a cultivator seemed to be tired and outright gave up on one of the rooms, stepping aside to rest.

Tang Zhirou dashed over like an arrow, waving at Chen Nan repeatedly. "Come on!"

Chen Nan helplessly walked over. After all, he only had this one junior sister, so he had to indulge her.

There was a faint barrier at the room’s entrance. It looked very weak, but after a few attempts, Chen Nan found that the array barrier was exceptionally strong.

Trying to forcibly break it wasn’t possible.

If a cultivator beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage were here, they might give it a try.

Tang Zhirou also swung her longsword a couple of times, but it only produced sparks, leaving the barrier unharmed, making her instantly discouraged.

"Are the treasures in the room not meant for us?"

Chen Nan smiled slightly and comforted, "Don’t worry, your senior brother is here."

As he spoke, a Heavy Mountain Pill Furnace, a zhang high, appeared before him, thudding heavily to the ground.

"What are you going to do with that...?"

Chen Nan spread his hands, candidly saying, "None of us are good at arrays; if we want to break the array, brute force is our only option."

With that, he grabbed the Heavy Mountain Pill Furnace with one hand, lifted it above his head, and smashed it down onto the barrier with great force.

With a bang, the surroundings began to shake.

All the cultivators who were still on this floor turned their heads toward Chen Nan, but when they saw him trying to use brute force to break the array, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"That’s not how you break an array. Do you even understand arrays?"

The cultivator who had previously given up on this room, filled with ridicule, taunted.

"Even with brute force, you’d die from exhaustion before breaking the array barrier, unless you’re a Golden Core Stage cultivator, haha."

Chen Nan ignored his words and continued to lift the Heavy Mountain Pill Furnace, smashing it again onto the barrier.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The continuous banging sounds filled the air, the ground shuddered as if an earthquake had occurred, causing the surrounding cultivators to complain and ridicule Chen Nan’s futile efforts even harder.

But after more than a hundred strikes, a crisp cracking sound suddenly resonated, silencing the mocking cultivators as if they were chickens being strangled, speechless.

Because on that array barrier, an actual crack had been pounded open!

"Is he... even human?"

Someone weakly asked, but their voice was drowned in the heavy crashing sounds.

Chen Nan kept going without pause, and the crack on the barrier grew larger and larger, until finally, with a shattering sound, the barrier completely broke.

"Nicely done."

Tang Zhirou was overjoyed inside but kept an unmoved expression, preparing to enter the room to see the treasures inside.

But just then, the cultivator who had previously given up on the room jumped out.

"Hey, I was the one who first set eyes on this room, and I spent a long time breaking the array so you could easily open it."

"Are you trying to rob me?"

Tang Zhirou looked at the cultivator in disbelief, her face full of anger.

"You were the one who gave up, and now that we’ve broken the barrier you’re trying to claim it again?"

"Without me, you wouldn’t have broken the barrier, so the things in the room belong to me!"

The cultivator had already decided to act shamelessly, and before Tang Zhirou could respond, he darted into the room.

Seeing this, Chen Nan swung the Heavy Mountain Pill Furnace in his hand, swatting the man away like a fly. He crashed heavily into the wall, leaving a human-shaped imprint.

When he got up, blood was already flowing from his seven orifices. That previous blow was too heavy for him to withstand, nearly costing him his life.

"You... you..."

He couldn’t even utter a complete sentence, kneeling on the ground with a pained expression, not knowing how many bones he had broken.

Chen Nan snorted coldly, signaling to Tang Zhirou with his eyes, and then stood guard at the door like a bodyguard.

The cultivators who had been restless earlier quickly lowered their heads, fearing that Chen Nan might come over and give them a taste of the Pill Furnace.

Soon, Tang Zhirou returned to Chen Nan’s side, patted his shoulder, and continued walking forward.

Before entering the third room, Tang Zhirou suppressed her excitement and somewhat boastfully said, "Can you guess what I found in the room?"

"Amitabha, this humble monk can’t guess," Xuan Hui honestly replied.

Chen Nan also shook his head. "Stop teasing us; what is it?"

Tang Zhirou felt a bit disappointed but still took out the treasure from her storage bag.

It was a finely crafted dress with numerous ornaments on it.

Both the material of the dress and the ornaments were extremely precious Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

"This is a Defensive Magical Artifact that can also be worn as clothing and can withstand three attacks from a Level 1 Golden Core Stage cultivator!" Tang Zhirou eagerly introduced.

Xuan Hui said appreciatively, "The benefactor has deep blessings, and this dress fits you perfectly."

Tang Zhirou rolled her eyes and carefully put the dress away. "Master, do you think everyone has deep blessings?"

"This dress is indeed beautiful, but I can’t bear to wear it, so I’ll keep it for now."

Women love to buy things, even the proud Tang Zhirou was no exception, and the dress perfectly matched her taste.

The three of them approached the door once more and stepped inside.

However, this time, before Chen Nan could clearly see the situation in the room, someone crashed straight into his arms.

As he looked down, he saw the face that had always occupied his thoughts!
