Jie Su and two members of the Su Clan stood at the corners of the energy array, adjusting their positions according to the situation.
Only one person was challenging the array.
But this person was very strong, so strong that the energy array had already opened to fifty percent yet he was still doing fine inside. One of the clan members was slightly injured due to a failed attack on him.
"Fifty-five percent," Jie Su said, and the entire energy array suddenly brightened considerably.
This was a manifestation of increased energy, with shafts of light emitting hazy scattered light, filling the entire array.
The person challenging the array took a step forward, and a nearby shaft of light suddenly burst, scattering light into countless sharp blades that almost filled the space.
However, he did not panic. The shoes on his feet also emitted some light, like a missile defense system, clashing with the surrounding light repeatedly. Only a few managed to break through the defensive net and hit him, which were blocked by his battle armor.
"The silk sea light array, one of the top ten formations of the Su Clan. Jie Su, your clan really cultivates you well, teaching you such secret techniques," the person said, while fending off the continuous impacts of the array.
"I just wonder how much power you can unleash from the silk sea light array with your aptitude. It is said that the clan leader and several grand array masters of your Su Clan can use this formation to match thousands of troops. Can you?"
"Oh, what was that called again? The column action sweep, right? What a pity, it lacks a bit of power."
"This won't do either. The power of the silk sea light array lies in maximizing the cutting ability of light and shadow, but your quantity and quality are both insufficient. This is not a talent issue; it’s a matter of your lack of skill."
"The person you are waiting for won't come. If you give up this energy array now, you might have a chance to escape."
From the moment he stepped into the silk sea light array, this person kept talking. His progress was slow, but each step was very solid, continuously moving closer to the core of the array. Once there, he could easily break the energy array.
In fact, as the arranger and controller of the array, Jie Su and the two clan members would also be severely injured, and the battle would end immediately.
However, this powerful figure was wrapped in a mask and full body armor, making it impossible to tell which race he belonged to.
"Sixty percent."
The silk sea light array raised its energy again, and its power increased accordingly. The person's forward steps met some resistance, but he continued to advance, already close to the core of the array.
"You might as well go straight to a hundred percent and see if you can kill me inside. I doubt you can, because even at sixty percent, you cannot break through my defenses. At a hundred percent, you might just wound me. Besides, I really suspect whether you can fully control such a large array!"
"Look at the time; your good friend should already be dead. Let me send you on your way as well."
The person laughed. Although his face was hidden, his voice was filled with a sinister smile.
However, at this moment, Jie Su surprisingly nodded in agreement.
This left the person momentarily stunned.
"Don't get me wrong; I'm not so abnormal as to think I should die. What I mean is, indeed, it’s about time."
Jie Su smiled slightly, then raised his hand and said, "Thirty-five percent."
As soon as these words came out, the challenger had a bad feeling, and his steps paused. He cautiously asked, "What do you mean?"
Jie Su maintained a pleasant demeanor, patiently explaining, "What I said earlier was to double the true energy level, and what I'm saying now is the real level."
"Of course, you can consider it as seventy percent now."
As the energy of the array increased, the pressure on the person became more evident. The light blades within the array raged like knives, forcing him to constantly fend them off.
