Chapter 554 Thank Master Wang For Enlightening Us! As everyone looked at the drawing on the map, they almost had a breakdown. You call this life-like?! They glanced at Wang Teng weirdly. There were many emotions in their gaze. Where did he get his confidence from? If they had to describe the drawing, it looked more like a pig’s head or an elephant… “You must have learned abstract art,” Dan Taixuan mocked him mercilessly. “Well, it’s indeed a little abstract.” Ye Jixin touched his chin and nodded. He didn’t bother about the discussion before, but he couldn’t help himself anymore. He walked over to take a look. Wang Teng was speechless when he saw them poking fun at his “life-like” drawing blatantly. “Enough!” He grabbed the map, crushed it into a ball, and threw it into the rubbish bin. He said angrily, “Give me another map!” Governor Jiang controlled his laughter and asked his man to take out another map. Wang Teng lifted the pen, took a deep breath, and started drawing freely… After some time, a black tortoise appeared on the paper under his confident gaze. Wang Teng looked at the people around him hopefully. Their answer? Suppressed smiles! This was hurtful! Wang Teng looked at his drawing again, feeling hopeless. “Laugh all you want. I’m not helping with the array anymore. He was furious. He didn’t care how abstract his drawing was anymore and leaned back on his chair angrily. The situation was already so bad that making it worse made no real difference. “Cough, this drawing is not bad.” Governor Jiang clenched his fist and placed it in front of his mouth as he coughed. “Why don’t you tell us what it represents?”. “I don’t want to. I’m not in the mood.” Wang Teng pouted. First, they teased him, and then, they wanted him to give them ideas. How could that happen? Did they think he had no ego? “Alright, I know you’re capable. Tell us quickly,” Dan Taixuan glanced at him and said. Wang Teng wasn’t honestly going to keep it from them, so he went along with Dan Taixuan. “Actually, I wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere. My drawing skills aren’t at this level,” Wang Teng started spouting nonsense. Everyone glanced sideways at him. Do you think we’ll believe you? Wang Teng ignored their gazes. Who cared if they believed him or not? He just had to believe himself. He turned serious and continued, “I know an array called the Black Tortoise Sky-Lock Array!” “Black Tortoise Sky-Lock Array?!” Everyone was stunned. They were filled with curiosity as they had never heard of this array before. Are you sure you didn’t come up with the name to surprise us? “Major General Wang, this array—” Wang Teng interrupted Chu Yongnian before he could finish his sentence. “I know what you want to ask. However, I don’t want to explain anything. All you need to know is that I understand it and can make it. That is enough.” “Really?” Situ Yun glanced at everyone before confirming with Wang Teng. “Is there a need to lie? My family and friends are in Donghai too. Will I take their lives as a joke?” Wang Teng said. “Is there anything special regarding this array?” The other runemasters asked. They nodded and agreed with Wang Teng’s logic. “The Black Tortoise Sky-Lock Array is just a normal array. Its defense ability is well-known in the Xingwu Continent, and it’s said to be able to guard the sky, so guarding a city is a piece of cake,” Wang Teng replied. “Guard the sky! How arrogant. I wonder if it’s truly so powerful?” Chu Yongnian questioned. He wasn’t targeting Wang Teng. He just felt that it was a little exaggerated, so he wasn’t sure of its credibility. “Major General Wang, are you a runemaster too?” someone finally reacted and asked. “Wang Teng is the disciple of a runemaster in Xingwu Continent. Also, he has reached the master level.” Dan Taixuan noticed their disbelief, so she spoke up. “Master level!” Everyone looked at Wang Teng in astonishment. “Master level at such a young age? Principal Dan, are you sure you’re not lying to us?” Chu Yongnian questioned. “During the Star Maple City war, Wang Teng commanded a group of talented runemasters from the Xingwu Continent and completed a large-sized offensive array. Then, he helped the master-level runemasters to complete another more difficult array. Do you think I will lie to you about this?” Dan Taixuan replied angrily. “This is… unbelievable!” They all finally believed her. There was no need for her to lie about this. Also, many people had participated in the Star Maple City war, so they could check the facts easily from others. Dan Taixuan wouldn’t be so stupid and lie to them when it was so easy for their lie to be caught. Situ Yun was even more dumbfounded. This fellow was a monster. Not only was he talented in martial arts, but his rune mastery was profound too.? It was hard to imagine. “How confident are you regarding this array?” Chu Yongnian took a deep breath and asked. “More than 80%,” Wang Teng replied confidently. “80%!” Everyone was thunderstruck once again. This probability was a little too high. Mind you, this was a large-sized array, and the rune construction was extremely complicated. A 50% confidence was high enough, much less 80%. “What do you think of this Black Tortoise Sky-Lock Array?” Governor Jiang was appalled too. However, he didn’t understand runes, so he left it to the professionals. “If Major General Wang is 80% confident and the defense ability of the array is really outstanding, there’s no reason for us to reject the idea,” Chu Yongnian glanced at everyone and said. “Wang Teng will be in charge of this matter. We’ll start laying the array immediately.” Governor Jiang was decisive, giving his order right away. “Okay.” Wang Teng nodded. Since he was going to stay in Donghai, he wouldn’t let others lead the formation of this defense array. He would only feel at ease if he did it himself. The other runemasters had no objections either. Wang Teng didn’t waste any time. He immediately started explaining the structure of the Black Tortoise Sky-Lock Array to everyone. It would be a waste not to use all this free labor. This array might be precious, but he didn’t plan to keep it to himself. He wanted to disseminate it. It was a contribution to the human race. After all, he had many similar arrays, and they were all free. Hence, he had no pressure. If he had spent a huge sum of money to buy them, he wouldn’t be so generous. Wang Teng’s rune mastery was many levels higher than everyone, so they all benefited a lot from his words. The runemasters were enchanted by his speech. They were confused for one moment and surprised for another. They were like students listening to a teacher. After some time, Wang Teng felt thirsty, so he stopped and drank some water. The runemasters were yearning for more, staring at him hopefully. Chu Yongnian suddenly stood up and bowed at Wang Teng. He said with respect, “Thank Master Wang for enlightening us!” Even his greeting of Wang Teng had changed. He was calling him Major General Wang some time ago because he acknowledged his martial arts ability. Now, he respected his rune mastery. It was indeed profound. “Thank Master Wang for enlightening us!” The other runemaster reacted in time and stood up, giving him a deep bow.
