Du Feng had already arrived, but Situ Jiannan neither welcomed nor rejected him. Instead, he activated the sword array. It was obvious that this was a test of his array formation cultivation.
Fine, let's have a spar then. Du Feng chuckled as he stepped into the sword array. He was now a rank eight array master. If he couldn't even break through this sword array, he would be a disgrace to the Formation Master Alliance.
In truth, Situ Jiannan had the same idea. He had long heard that there was a new rank eight array master named Du Feng. Since Du Feng had arrived, he had to fight him. Now that he thought about it, this was a sore point for him. Back then, Situ Jiannan had gone to the Formation Master Alliance to take the rank eight exam, but he had failed multiple times.
It wasn't that his array wasn't powerful enough, but rather that his comprehension of arrays wasn't good enough. In other words, the array he had set up was clearly at the level of a rank eight array, but the Formation Master Alliance didn't approve of it, so he hadn't been able to obtain the rank eight badge.
He was clearly able to set up a powerful killing array, but he was still unable to obtain the Grade 8 Array Master Badge from the Array Master Alliance. This matter had been bothering Situ Jiannan. He had always prided himself on being a genius, whether it was in swordsmanship or arrays.
However, a youth like Du Feng had passed the exam on his first try. As a senior, he still hadn't been able to pass the exam. He was already an Ultimate Emperor Realm expert, but he still couldn't obtain the rank eight badge. This was quite depressing. He wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Du Feng. He wanted to see just how good a so-called rank eight array master was.
"Island Master Situ, if you don't show yourself, I'll have no choice but to act rashly."
In reality, Du Feng understood Situ Jiannan's intentions, but he purposely emphasized it first. He didn't want to be accused of deliberately destroying the killing array after he broke it.
Situ Jiannan still didn't reply. Du Feng smiled as he took out a bunch of array flags. He was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he walked around the Sword Bamboo Forest. As he walked, the Sword Bamboos started to move as if they were really swords. But interestingly, those Sword Bamboos were only moving along with Du Feng's footsteps, yet they didn't actually attack him.
Was it because of Situ Jiannan's kindness? Of course not. The reason why Jian Zhu didn't launch an attack was that every single step of Du Feng's was just right. He let the Sword Bamboo Array move, but did not let it attack.
Stinking brat, you really have some tricks up your sleeve! Situ Jiannan had been at the eye of the array, monitoring Du Feng's every move. Because the eye of the formation was in his bamboo house, it was convenient for him to make adjustments to the formation at any time. Following this pattern, Du Feng would be able to quickly figure out his killing array and meet him in the bamboo house.
It was a grand large-scale killing array, but the other party walked over before it could even launch an attack. That was too embarrassing. The man from the Situ Clan smiled faintly and formed a seal with his hand. The moment this seal was cast, the Sword Bamboo Forest immediately underwent a change. The Sword Bamboos that were originally standing upright on the ground actually moved horizontally one after another. Furthermore, all of their sword tips were pointed at Du Feng.
"Hur hur …"
Du Feng knew that it was Situ Jiannan playing tricks. If he did not intervene, he would not trigger the killing array at all as he walked over. Even so, it did not matter. Du Feng casually scattered out an array flag, and all of them were inserted in the surroundings of the Sword Bamboos.
He saw some of the Sword Bamboos closest to him change directions one after another. The scene became interesting. A portion of the Sword Bamboos and another portion of the Sword Bamboos, their tips facing each other. It was like two opposing teams, neither willing to give in.
This … Situ Jiannan was greatly angered when he saw this. He was clearly the one who laid down the array, yet a portion of it was actually controlled by the other party. Needless to say, Du Feng must have already figured out the principle of his killing array. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to control it.
What to do, if he continued to attack Du Feng, the Sword Bamboos would definitely collide with each other. At that time, he might not be able to kill Du Feng, but he would inevitably lose a large number of Sword Bamboos. This large stretch of Sword Bamboo Forest had grown with great difficulty. If it was really destroyed, Situ Jiannan would really be reluctant.
Forget it, he thought about it and made up his mind not to waste any more time with Du Feng. He waved his sleeves, and a narrow path immediately appeared in the Sword Bamboo Forest. It was obviously an invitation for Du Feng to come over.
"Many thanks, Senior Situ!"
Du Feng could be considered to have given the other party enough face. He obviously could have forced his way through, but he deliberately gave Situ Jiannan time to withdraw the array. In this way, everyone could preserve some face, and it would not be too awkward when they met.
"Kid, quickly let me see your badge."
As soon as Du Feng entered the bamboo house, Situ Jiannan made a very strange request. He actually wanted to see the Grade Eight Array Master badge issued by the Array Masters Union. He had been longing for this little thing for a long time.
Eh … Du Feng was speechless. He thought to himself, You're an Ultimate Emperor Realm senior, so why are you coveting that thing? No matter how powerful a Grade Eight Array Master was, it would not be able to stop an Ultimate Emperor Realm expert. His martial prowess was already so high, so why would he care about a little badge?
In reality, Du Feng did not understand Situ Jiannan's mentality. It was like a person who had poor grades since he was young. Even if he later became famous and earned a lot of money, he would still feel unhappy when he remembered that his grades were inferior to others. Situ Jiannan had this kind of mentality. He was clearly a third-layer Ultimate Emperor Realm expert, and an expert in the way of the sword. However, when he thought about how he had not even passed the Grade Eight Array Master exam, he still felt very unhappy.
Although the Array Master badge was a good thing, Du Feng could not wear it on his chest every day. He had already put it away. Since Situ Jiannan wanted to see it, he might as well take it out for him to see.
"Tsk tsk tsk … the person who can obtain this thing is indeed not simple. I have to give it to you."
Situ Jiannan was a very honest person. He admitted that his Array Cultivation was not as good as Du Feng's. No wonder he could obtain the Grade Eight Array Master badge on his first try, while he had tried many times to no avail. Realm Cultivation was one thing, Array Cultivation was another. No matter what, it could not be forced.
"Does that mean that Senior is willing to help me?"
When Du Feng saw Situ Jiannan's attitude, he was secretly happy. He felt that this cooperation would go smoothly.
"What help? You brat, you trespassed on my Sword Bamboo Island. It's already good enough that I didn't settle the score with you."
Alright, things were not as simple as he had imagined. Situ Jiannan had acknowledged Du Feng's Array Cultivation and invited him to the bamboo house for a chat. This was already giving him a lot of face. As for the matter regarding the Extreme North, if he wanted to negotiate, he would have to show his true abilities.
