Chapter 553 Is My Drawing Ugly?

Everyone got serious when they went back to the main topic. w.a.n.g Teng remained quiet after he sat down. He could sense that everyone present was a runemaster. Hence, they must have their own ideas of rune arrays. Since he had just arrived, he shouldn’t interrupt them. As expected, no one asked for his opinion. They started expressing their views directly.

“From what I see, we can create a Three Mountain Giant Array on the three mountains Young Master w.a.n.g carried over. No other array is better than this.”

The person who opened his mouth was a 40-year-old runemaster who was slightly scrawny.

Everyone started pondering after hearing his suggestion.

An advanced-stage runemaster said, “Once this array is formed, the three mountains will be like three giant deities guarding the Donghai coastline. It can resist another invasion of sea beasts, and the defense isn’t bad.”

“No, it isn’t appropriate. The scope of the Three Mountain Giant Array is limited. It will only cover the area where the three mountains are. The sea beasts can still go around the three mountains to attack Donghai.

“They didn’t succeed this time because Major General w.a.n.g’s actions were too unexpected. Those sea beasts couldn’t come up with a countermeasure in time.” Another runemaster shook his head.

“Based on their intelligence, the sea beasts might not be able to think of a strategy. Hence, I feel that defending the area around the three mountains is enough. We can just send more people to guard the other areas,” the runemaster that spoke before voiced out again.

“There will always be careless omissions if we use humans. Chu Yongnian, you’re too naive. Didn’t you learn any lesson from the sea beasts riot?” Situ Yun refuted without any mercy.

He was the head of the rune faculty in Huanghai Military Academy. Hence, his rune mastery wasn’t low. He was partic.i.p.ating in this discussion too.

“Based on your words, it will only be safe if we encase the entire Donghai in a rune array, right? But… Can we do it?” Chu Yongnian snorted.

He paused for a moment. When he noticed everyone keeping quiet, he continued, “A normal array won’t be able to withstand a lord-level sea beast’s attack. Even if we create it, it’s useless. However, we don’t have the ability to create advanced arrays. In that case, why don’t we gather everyone’s strength and form an array that’s able to block lord-level sea beasts’ attacks?”

Everyone was in a dilemma. They had to admit that Chu Yongnian was right. The coastline was the most important defense of Donghai. Protecting that area was equivalent to protecting Donghai.

The problem wasn’t which idea was better. It was whether they had the ability to do it.

They felt helpless, but that was the undeniable truth.

Earth’s foundation in runes was still too weak. They could form an array to cover the entire city since there were a few master-level runemasters here, but the arrays had different levels too. Their understanding of the more advanced arrays was still shallow.

“Why don’t we ask the runemasters from the Xingwu Continent to help?” Someone hesitated before suggesting.

Everyone was shocked. Then, they seriously started considering it. “That’s a good idea. Earth’s relations.h.i.+p with the Xingwu Continent is getting closer. I don’t think they will reject us if we ask them for some help.”

“Who knows? They hide their powerful rune arrays quite well. Only the direct descendants of the runemasters will be able to get these powerful arrays. Other than that, it’s impossible to get them. They won’t show it to us easily.”

“We have helped them so much, but they’re still guarding against us,” someone complained. “Hmph, we’ll do the same too.”

After a round of discussion, no results were obtained.

w.a.n.g Teng’s expression turned a little weird. These people kept complaining about the difficulty. Well, he did learn some rune knowledge from Gorlin, so…

He felt that it wasn’t that difficult.

Could it be that the powerful arrays they were talking about were a different thing?

Also, he would be able to create the rune arrays without any help from Xingwu Continent too. After all, his rune mastery had already reached a certain profound stage. However, if he said it himself, he would be suspected of boasting. They might not believe him at all!

w.a.n.g Teng was in deep thought. How could he say it so that his boasting would seem logical?

“You have been discussing it for a long time, but there’s no result. In that case, why don’t you ask the relevant party? w.a.n.g Teng moved the three mountains, so he might have a plan already.” Dan Taixuan’s impatient voice sounded at this moment.

She thought that the runemasters would be able to achieve some progress, but in the end, no conclusions were formed. She felt speechless. The runemasters were stunned, feeling a little embarra.s.sed. Then, they quickly looked at w.a.n.g Teng. Was Dan Taixuan saying that w.a.n.g Teng had an idea?

Situ Yun’s expression changed slightly. He knew that w.a.n.g Teng’s rune talent was good, but that was it. w.a.n.g Teng hadn’t spent much time in school. He would find it unbelievable if he knew that w.a.n.g Teng’s rune mastery had surpa.s.sed him in a blink of an eye.

But he knew that Dan Taixuan wouldn’t speak without a reason. It seemed like w.a.n.g Teng was hiding something.

The other runemasters didn’t know anything about w.a.n.g Teng’s rune mastery. They didn’t even know that he was a runemaster, so they were a little hesitant.

However, someone still asked in the end, “Major General w.a.n.g, do you have any ideas?” “Please give me a map of Donghai’s surroundings,” w.a.n.g Teng said to Governor Jiang. He didn’t put forward his thoughts immediately.

Governor Jiang was surprised before he ordered someone to get a map and laid it out in front of everyone.

“What is he going to do?” Curious, everyone gathered in front.

w.a.n.g Teng drew three huge mountains on the coastline first. Then, he crossed them out and started outlining Donghai.

“Can you see anything?” w.a.n.g Teng said with a smile and a confident expression. He threw the pen casually on the table after he finished drawing.

Speechless, they all looked at w.a.n.g Teng absent-mindedly.

What was he drawing? Their eyesight was a little bad, so they couldn’t tell what it was.

w.a.n.g Teng’s smile froze when he saw their expressions. He lowered his head and glanced at the map, asking in a soft voice, “Is my drawing ugly?”

“Hmph!”

“Hahaha!”

“Hahaha…”

Everyone laughed awkwardly. If w.a.n.g Teng was just a younger generation, they would have reprimanded him furiously. What on earth was he drawing?

Unfortunately, they couldn’t.

w.a.n.g Teng was too powerful and could kill them with a pinch. They couldn’t afford to offend him.

On the other hand, Dan Taixuan didn’t have such a concern. She pouted and said, “What the h.e.l.l is this? Don’t you know what your standard is?”

w.a.n.g Teng: …

“Why don’t Major General w.a.n.g just explain it to us?” Chu Yongnian said.

“Don’t you think that this looks like a life-like black tortoise?” w.a.n.g Teng took a deep breath and replied helplessly.
