The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2152 - 2141: A Dazzling Moment

The next day.

When the sky was still dim.

Spirit Artifact City became lively. Yesterday, after the preliminary round of the Heavenly Phenomenon Contest concluded, an unexpected upset occurred. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This gave the cultivators within Spirit Artifact City much to talk about.

Yesterday, under the instructions of Ye Chenfeng.

Everything began to be prepared intensively. Uncle Zhao and Uncle Li traveled overnight to Spirit Continent. They were responsible for bringing the people from the Qingyue Sect to Central Continent, while families like the Yuns and the Tian Feng Sect also sent people to contact their sects. It was expected that before the Heavenly Phenomenon Contest officially ended, everyone would be relocated to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Today was the preliminary round for the Array Masters.

After the unexpected upset in the preliminaries of the Heavenly Phenomenon Contest, many cultivators became more and more interested in this contest.

As time went by.

The seats in the South Square of Spirit Artifact City were already filled with people.

The people from the major sects also entered the VIP rooms.

In the center of the South Square, a huge arena was built overnight.

In front of the arena, there were eleven chairs, with Zhao Xingtu and the other ten deputy pavilion masters already seated on ten of them, while the eleventh chair was still empty.

A total of one hundred people entered the preliminary round, and only ten would be selected to advance to the finals.

The one hundred participants in the preliminary round were already standing respectfully in front of Zhao Xingtu and the ten deputy pavilion masters.

When the sun fully rose,

The ten deputy pavilion masters stood up from their chairs, and Zhao Xingtu cleared his throat and said, "In this Array Master contest at the Heavenly Phenomenon Contest, which is being organized and managed by our Array Magic Pavilion, we have decided to include a special guest judge in addition to the ten judges."

"Now please invite this special guest judge to come on stage!"

For convenience, Ye Chenfeng was seated among the audience, while Xue Wanqing, Yun Rong, and others remained in the VIP room of the Array Magic Pavilion.

Xue Wanqing, Yun Rong, and Xiao Yongzhan looked towards Ye Chenfeng, a little excitement apparent on their faces. They knew that after today, Ye Chenfeng would officially step onto the stage of Central Continent.

Ye Chenfeng walked out from the audience, step by step, towards the giant arena in the center of the square.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng heading towards the arena, most of the people in the audience couldn’t help but frown.

As a special guest judge,

One must at least be on par with Zhao Xingtu and the other pavilion masters in the field of arrays, right? Naturally, they did not associate Ye Chenfeng with being the special guest judge, thinking it was pure nonsense!

"Isn’t that kid the one who passed the preliminaries of the Heavenly Phenomenon Contest yesterday? Why is he heading towards the arena? Could he be the special guest judge?"

"Are you blind? Considering he can participate in the Heavenly Phenomenon Contest, how old could he be? At such a young age, how accomplished could he be in arrays?"

...

However, Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan sitting in the corner of the audience bore expressions suggesting this was only to be expected. They had already witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s proficiency in arrays, and serving as a humble special guest judge was no big deal.

As Ye Chenfeng stepped onto the arena,

Zhao Xingtu said, "This is the special guest judge for this Array Master contest, Ye Chenfeng."

Currently, Ye Chenfeng was not ready to disclose that he was the Pavilion Master of the Array Magic Pavilion, so revealing his status as a special guest judge was enough.

When Ye Chenfeng reached the front of the eleventh chair in the judging panel,

The entire South Square erupted completely.

Not only did the audience boil over, but the various VIP rooms were also flabbergasted.

In the VIP room of Xiao Yao Palace,

Ancestor Luo Qianjiang’s voice came out, "Nonsense! What the Array Magic Pavilion is doing is sheer nonsense, letting a young lad act as a special guest judge. What is your Array Magic Pavilion up to?"

Zhao Xingtu replied, "This young friend Ye’s proficiency in arrays is not below any of us ten. Our Array Magic Pavilion has never ranked or evaluated based on age. This young friend Ye is indeed qualified to be the special guest judge this time."

Luo Qianjiang retorted angrily, "That’s just your one-sided words from the Array Magic Pavilion. How old is this kid? You claim his proficiency in arrays is not below the ten of you, which is ridiculously absurd. Even if he started learning arrays in the womb, his proficiency couldn’t possibly be this monstrous."

"Are those present willing to see the Array Magic Pavilion partake in nepotism? I believe the Array Magic Pavilion wants to make this lad famous. What is the relationship between your Array Magic Pavilion and this lad?"

Among the one hundred contestants standing on the arena,

The young man wearing a blue robe from the far left of the first row frowned and stepped forward. He wasn’t an Array Magic Pavilion Array Master, but he could be considered a dark horse in this Array Master contest. His name was Zheng Kaili.

Zheng Kaili’s name was already somewhat known in Central Continent.

It was said that when he participated in the selection for qualification into the preliminaries, he displayed extremely formidable proficiency in arrays, earning high praise from the ten pavilion masters of the Array Magic Pavilion. This Zheng Kaili already had the proficiency of an Array Magic Pavilion elder. It could be said that in this Array Master contest, his first place was almost guaranteed.

During his time in Spirit Artifact City, Zheng Kaili had constantly sought advice from the elders of the Array Magic Pavilion. At this point, besides the ten pavilion masters, the other elders in the Array Magic Pavilion were mostly on the same level as him in terms of array proficiency.

Zheng Kaili’s name similarly spread across the major sects during this time.

If Zheng Kaili secured first place as an Array Master this time, he might, in the future, become one of the pillars of the Array Magic Pavilion.

As a genius, there was always pride, especially since Ye Chenfeng appeared relatively young. Naturally, Zheng Kaili had a sense of dissatisfaction.

Zheng Kaili directly addressed Ye Chenfeng, "I’ve recently developed a defense array. Before the Array Master preliminaries start, I wonder if I could seek your guidance?"

Zheng Kaili seemed to be seeking permission, but as soon as he finished speaking, he directly began setting up the defense array he mentioned on the arena.

Zhao Xingtu and others were about to scold him, but Ye Chenfeng waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, as a special guest judge, I can’t lack legitimacy, can I? Let this kid have his way then."

Zheng Kaili quickly set up the array on the arena.

His setup method was highly intricate, leaving most of the onlookers shocked.

When Zheng Kaili completed the last step and activated the array, a small defense array was instantly formed.

Everyone on site could feel that the defense strength of this defense array was quite extraordinary, likely something even an Array Magic Pavilion elder couldn’t set up.

Zheng Kaili cupped his hands towards Ye Chenfeng, saying, "Please guide me."

Seeing all this, Luo Qianjiang’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.

Except for those like Xue Wanqing and Wu Lingxiang who were aware of Ye Chenfeng’s proficiency in arrays, they weren’t overly concerned.

In the Alchemy Pavilion, Yuan Kun, and in the Artifact Refinement Pavilion, Wang Xinghuai, and others, they all frowned. They couldn’t comprehend how Ye Chenfeng became the special guest judge in this Array Master contest.

On the arena, Ye Chenfeng walked over to Zheng Kaili. After his time in the ancient Sky Imprisonment Realm, his proficiency in arrays had improved significantly to the point where he no longer needed guidance from Old Bai and Old Hei. Staring at Zheng Kaili, he asked, "What? Do you think your defense array setup is impressive?"

"I can give you three words: very rubbish!"

"Four words, especially rubbish!"

Under Zheng Kaili’s furious gaze, Ye Chenfeng walked directly to the defense array. He made ten modifications to the array setup, and when he reactivated it,

With a "bang!"

The small defense array suddenly became ten times stronger, with the defense capability increasing tenfold.

This improved defense array was extraordinarily good. Even if Zhao Xingtu and others were to set it up directly, it would probably have no more defense power.

A lot of people ready to watch a joke on site were immediately struck dumb, knowing that Ye Chenfeng’s proficiency in arrays was blatantly obvious and certainly no less than that of the ten pavilion masters including Zhao Xingtu.

That such a young lad’s proficiency in arrays could match the ten Array Masters? How could this not be an unparalleled fantasy?
