Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques Chapter 1255 373: Joining the Secret Alliance, Experiencing Poverty Once Again! (2)

Lu Changsheng wanted far more than merely a handful of Great Dao fragments.

He craved a massive haul of Great Dao fragments.

Depending on gradual buildup simply wouldn’t cut it.

A different approach was essential.

So, Lu Changsheng kept wandering through the Secret City.

Three days later, excitement flashed in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

A certain task caught his attention.

A figure clad in black from the Ancestor Realm sought an Array Master.

Specifically, one proficient in dismantling arrays.

The payout was impressively hefty.

Merely taking the task granted ten Great Dao fragments upfront.

Plus, finishing it promised even richer bonuses.

Though the exact rewards and amounts required negotiation with the client.

"A mission offering ten Great Dao fragments won’t be straightforward."

"Plus, they want an Array Master, and I’m no Array Master."

"That said, though I lack the Array Master title, when it comes to breaking arrays, not even a true Array Master could outdo me..."

Confidence surged within Lu Changsheng.

True, he wasn’t an Array Master, yet he pursued the Red Dust Immortal Dao.

Thanks to the Red Dust Immortal Dao’s decomposition power.

He could dissect all matters, laws, and more.

Cracking an array was child’s play by comparison.

With that, Lu Changsheng wasted no time and strode right up.

"Fellow Daoist, seeking an Array Master?"

Lu Changsheng inquired.

"Indeed. Are you one?"

The black-clad figure replied.

He scanned Lu Changsheng thoroughly from top to bottom.

Naturally, the Thousand Illusion Mask disguised them both.

No inspection could reveal a thing.

Lu Changsheng dodged a direct answer and pressed, "What sort of array needs breaking?"

The black-clad figure responded steadily, "Regardless of the array, if you wish to claim this task, first demonstrate you’re a true Array Master."

"How?"

"Simple enough. I’ve got an array here—if you crack it, you’re proven."

"Crack the array? Easy. Any deadline?"

"Roughly a month."

Lu Changsheng accepted every condition with a nod.

This served as the black-clad figure’s "test."

Passing it and earning approval of his skills would secure the task for Lu Changsheng.

"Very well, come with me."

Soon, Lu Changsheng trailed the black-clad figure to a cave mansion within the Secret City.

Safety was never a concern in the Secret City.

Violators of its rules faced certain doom!

Not even the Strongest Ancestor Realm escaped that fate.

Moments later, Lu Changsheng stepped into the black-clad figure’s cave mansion.

There, the black-clad figure stated, "Fellow Daoist, call me Lin."

"Fellow Lin, I’m Lu."

They exchanged only surnames.

Whether genuine or not remained anyone’s guess.

In the Secret City, real names were taboo; identities stayed concealed.

"Fellow Lu, my cave mansion holds an array."

"Yet this array can confine even the Strongest Ancestor Realm—breaking it won’t be simple. Can you manage it in one month?"

The black-clad figure laid bare the array’s strengths and challenges.

Lu Changsheng’s gaze sharpened faintly.

An array capable of trapping the Strongest Ancestor Realm with ease?

Such a formation was no small matter.

Extremely formidable, in fact.

And wielding a Great Array like this casually suggested immense power, likely Strongest Ancestor Realm!

Still, Lu Changsheng dismissed concerns over the other’s realm.

Clearing the "test" took priority now.

"No issue."

Lu Changsheng agreed promptly.

"Excellent. Lin shall now trigger the array."

With that, the black-clad figure unleashed the Great Array.

"Boom".

The Great Array activated.

A formation that ensnared the Strongest Ancestor Realm was bound to be extraordinary.

Just moments before, Lu Changsheng and the black-clad figure sat facing each other cross-legged. But as the Great Array fell, the black-clad figure’s presence vanished from Lu Changsheng’s senses.

As though he had evaporated.

Lu Changsheng understood the figure hadn’t vanished—the array had warped or severed his detection.

Standing up, Lu Changsheng surveyed his surroundings.

He stood amid a thick forest now.

The cave mansion’s traces had vanished.

"Illusion Array?"

"It doesn't look exactly like one, but could the Great Array truly alter the world?"

Lu Changsheng reached out his hand, unleashing a fierce palm strike toward the forest beneath.

"Boom".

Lu Changsheng's palm strike completely razed the forest to the ground.

Yet that was the full extent of the damage.

In a mere instant, the forest restored itself to its former glory.

Still, this only triggered the Great Array, which refrained from launching any counterattack on Lu Changsheng.

In truth, it served merely as a test for Lu Changsheng's "array-breaking" prowess.

Lu Changsheng was fully aware that his own grasp of arrays alone wouldn't suffice to shatter it.

His only recourse lay in thorough analysis.

"I only have one month..."

Lu Changsheng understood the pressing urgency of time.

Without further delay, he settled into a cross-legged position and immediately invoked the decomposition techniques of the Red Dust Immortal Dao to dissect the array.

Days slipped by one after another.

Lu Changsheng persisted in his relentless analysis.

Bit by bit, the profound secrets of the Great Array fell under his mastery.

Dissecting an entire world, celestial spiritual treasures, Immortal Treasures, and the like proves immensely demanding.

Yet, unraveling an array powerful enough to ensnare the Strongest Ancestor Realm presented no challenge whatsoever to Lu Changsheng.

His mastery of the Red Dust Immortal Dao had now advanced to 60%.

Armed with Lu Changsheng's extraordinary decomposition skills, fully decoding this array became a straightforward feat.

It wouldn't require even a full month.
