Chapter 191 The Second Layer of the Magic Saint

Looking at the system notification, Shi Feng directly chose to enter the second layer of the Magic Saint Temple.

Immediately, a triple magic array appeared under Shi Feng's feet, instantly turning into a stream of light that shot into the corridor wrapped in layers of magic arrays, disappearing before everyone's eyes.

When Shi Feng opened his eyes again, he was standing in a magnificent temple hall.

The entire hall was resplendent and magnificent, with twelve god statues standing around it. These statues were lifelike and full of infinite vitality. They supported the ceiling of the entire hall and also emitted a faint divine power, making Shi Feng feel as if he was carrying a giant rock weighing a thousand pounds.

"Such a strong divine power. If a Tier 2 class were to come under this kind of pressure, they probably wouldn't even be able to move," Shi Feng thought to himself in surprise as he looked at the statue in front of him.

He felt a little strained after only taking a few steps. If a Tier 2 class were to come, they would probably be lying on the ground as soon as they appeared in the hall, unable to get up.

Moreover, under this kind of pressure, his mental strength was constantly being consumed, making it impossible to stay here for a long time.

Just as Shi Feng was wondering why the second layer of the Magic Saint Temple was set up like this, the walls around the hall suddenly opened up, revealing corridors. There were three corridors in total, each leading to a temple, and these temples were filled with various magic scrolls. At the center of the temples was a pure gold book overflowing with light.

"Magic Array Compendium!" Shi Feng looked at the pure gold book in the temple, his breathing becoming rapid.

Because the Magic Array Compendium in the temple was not an ordinary one, but a high-level Magic Array Compendium that was rare even in kingdoms and empires.

It should be known that the Saint Beast Descent Magic Array, which was the trump card of a guild, was only a mid-level magic array. A powerful high-level Magic Array Compendium could definitely be regarded as a treasure of the guild, and the Magic Array Compendium in front of him exuded the rich magic power that only a high-level Magic Array Compendium possessed.

However, it was too far away to see exactly what kind of high-level Magic Array Compendium it was.

Just as Shi Feng stepped into the corridor, magic arrays suddenly appeared in the corridor, with a full nine magic arrays blocking Shi Feng's path.

"A test?"

Looking at the appearing magic arrays, Shi Feng understood somewhat what was going on with the second layer of the Magic Saint Temple.

These appearing magic arrays were more and more difficult, and the three corridors also had their strengths and weaknesses, such as the first layer of magic arrays set up, which were very different.

The easiest one was a mid-level magic array, followed by a high-level magic array, and the most difficult corridor had a master-level magic array set up, which was not a place ordinary players could come to.

Moreover, in this hall, mental strength was constantly being consumed. According to Shi Feng's estimation, he could only stay here for six or seven hours at most before his mental strength would be exhausted. This was only because he had a bloodline. If other Tier 3 classes were to come, they could probably only stay for four or five hours.

In other words, he had to break the magic arrays within six or seven hours, otherwise, he would not be able to enter the temples inside the corridor.

As for trying to destroy the magic arrays, that was simply a joke.

With the twelve god statues present, facing such divine power, let alone a Tier 3 class like him, even a Tier 4 class would not be able to destroy the magic arrays in the corridor, unless they were a Tier 5 class. But how powerful was a Tier 5 class? Players would have to wait for an unknown amount of time to be promoted to a Tier 5 class.

And it was impossible to borrow external force, because at the moment of entering the hall, he could only use the space in his backpack. He couldn't even think about using other items.

"Time is limited. It seems I can only start with the simplest magic array," Shi Feng thought for a while and walked towards the corridor with the mid-level magic array set up.

Although the first magic array set up in this corridor was a mid-level magic array, its difficulty was not low. It was definitely in the upper-middle level among mid-level magic arrays. Ordinary mid-level mages would probably need to spend a lot of time to break it.

However, for a master like Shi Feng, who was only half a step away from being a Magic Array Grandmaster, it was much easier to break it. It only took him less than two minutes to complete it.

The difficulty of the second magic array only increased slightly, becoming about 20% more complex. Shi Feng took three minutes to complete it.

The third magic array was also a mid-level magic array, but it was a top-tier mid-level magic array. This made Shi Feng spend almost five minutes to complete it.

But when he saw the fourth magic array, Shi Feng frowned slightly.

"This is already a high-level magic array?" Shi Feng looked at the simple high-level magic array in front of him, feeling very surprised.

Although he could easily break a top-tier mid-level magic array, that was because he was already only half a step away from being a grandmaster. If an ordinary high-level mage were to come, they would probably need to spend ten to twenty minutes to break it.

And even if a high-level magic array was simple, it was not comparable to a mid-level magic array. This was a fundamental difference. Now that the fourth magic array was already a high-level magic array, he couldn't imagine how much it would increase next.

But despite his thoughts, Shi Feng didn't stop breaking the magic array.

Shi Feng spent twelve minutes breaking the fourth magic array, and the difficulty of the fifth magic array didn't increase as much as Shi Feng had imagined. It was still an ordinary high-level magic array, just a little more complex. This allowed Shi Feng to spend only fifteen minutes. The sixth magic array reached a mid-tier level, and Shi Feng spent nearly twenty minutes.

As for the seventh magic array, its difficulty didn't increase as much as Shi Feng had imagined, but it also reached an upper-tier level. It would be impossible for an ordinary high-level mage to break it in less than one or two hours.

And Shi Feng spent half an hour to complete this high-level magic array.

The difficulty of the eighth magic array directly reached a top-tier level. Even Shi Feng felt a little棘手 (jí shǒu – thorny/troublesome), but after spending an hour, he still managed to complete the eighth magic array.

At the moment when the eighth magic array was completed, the ninth magic array also appeared in front of Shi Feng.

"Master-level magic array!" Shi Feng looked at the extremely condensed magic power of the magic array, and almost wanted to curse.

A master-level magic array was fundamentally different from a high-level magic array. Not only was it more complex, but it also required multitasking, and the control of magic power was beyond what ordinary people could do.

However, since there was only one last magic array left to the temple hall, Shi Feng still planned to give it a try.

The master-level magic array in front of him was very basic. For a mage like him, who was a half-step master, it was not impossible to start, but it required multitasking, starting from three positions at the same time, and the magic power control of these three positions had to be drawn at different speeds, otherwise it would not be possible to complete it at the same time.

And if these three positions could not be completed at the same time, the drawing of the magic array would fail.

Shi Feng took a deep breath and began to draw magic power on the three positions at the same time, carefully controlling the magic power output of the three places. Too much would not work, and too little would not work. This kind of magic power control was absolutely impossible to do during his previous Tier 2 class.

The first attempt failed because the magic power output of two of the three positions was too high, resulting in failure. The second attempt failed because the output of two positions was a little too low. The difficulty was simply several times more difficult than threading a needle.

However, repeated attempts also made Shi Feng vaguely feel that the magic power control of the master-level magic array was somewhat similar to the magic power control of the Magic Body, and even the magic power control of the Magic Body could be like a master-level magic array, with multi-point control, so that the efficiency of magic power utilization could be greatly improved.

Seeing that time was passing by little by little, and the remaining time was getting shorter and shorter, with only less than half an hour left, Shi Feng's spirit was also getting more and more haggard, but Shi Feng's concentration was getting higher and higher, and his brain was also getting more and more active, even forgetting the control of his body, treating magic power as his hands and feet.

On the magic array, the magic power of the three positions gradually produced different flow rates, and a certain degree of adjustment was made to the magic power that was previously too fast or too slow.

Seeing that the magic patterns of the three positions were only one last step away, the magic power of the three positions perfectly maintained the ability to reach the final node at the same time.

"It's done!" Shi Feng couldn't help but get excited.

The last three magic powers reached the node at the same time, and the entire magic array was completely formed, blooming with dazzling brilliance.

And a series of system prompts came from Shi Feng's ear.

System: Congratulations to the player for being promoted to a Master Magic Array Master.
