Chapter 452: Chapter 374 Barrier Skill Chapter 452: Chapter 374 Barrier Skill Yang Aoshan went home alone. She changed out of her dress and immersed herself in the work of dismantling the barrier model.
Late at night, Yang Aoshan suddenly sensed something. She flashed a talisman from her ring. It was left by Su Yuan.
“Su Envoy has returned?” Yang Aoshan checked and felt a surge of joy in her heart.
Previously, Su Yuan had said he went out to find a way to solve the marking issue. Could it have been resolved now?
As Yang Aoshan pondered, a fleeting wave passed overhead.
“What happened!”
Startled, Yang Aoshan disregarded the barrier and hurried upstairs to see.
When Yang Aoshan reached the first floor, she saw that Su Yuan and another fair-skinned, scholarly young man had appeared in her room. Behind them, a Space Gate was gradually fading away.
Su Yuan greeted, “Master Yang.”
“Su Env… Su Yuan?”
Yang Aoshan remembered that Su Yuan had previously reminded her to call him Su Yuan directly.
So, his real name was Su Yuan… Antonios already knew Su Yuan was disguised as a Southerner, and naturally knew “Anglie” was a pseudonym. This was not surprising.
Su Yuan just didn’t want Antonios to hear the word “Envoy.”
“This is Mr. Antonios. I have hired him to remove the mark for you,” Su Yuan introduced.
Yang Aoshan immediately bowed and said, “Thank you, Mr. Antonios.”
Antonios, not keen to dig into Su Yuan and Yang Aoshan’s identities, only wanted to finish and leave. He nodded and said, “Please, lady, sit down. I’ll check.”
“Okay.” Yang Aoshan responded and then sat upright on a nearby stool.
Antonios walked behind Yang Aoshan. Silver light rose from his palm as he placed it on her back, closing his eyes to examine her carefully.
After a while, Antonios opened his eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed in Antonios’s eyes. He looked at Yang Aoshan again.
Clearly just at the Gold Level, but marked with such a seal?
No wonder a hundred thousand Cent Star Stones were needed to break the seal. Indeed, she was not an ordinary person…
Scanning the room briefly, Antonios had some understanding.
A powerful Barrier Master…
Antonios said, “The person who marked you is an expert. Ordinary people certainly can’t solve it.”
“Can you?”
Antonios smiled, “Not only can I solve it, but I can also extract and disguise the mark…”
“Oh?” Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, immediately understanding the implication.
If it was only to break the mark, the person who placed it would certainly know once it was broken.
After all, the mark itself had a positioning function. Once the positioning disappeared, the person would know something had happened.
But if the mark could be extracted, it was a different story. It might not even need to be exposed.
Antonios continued, “However, there are two points to note.
First, this mark has been connected to the Source of Star Power for a long time. Although I can cut off its connection to her Star Power Vortex without harming her, she will be weakened and unable to move for two or three days.
Second, the mark needs to parasitize the Source of Star Power. After extraction, to disguise it, a being with the Source of Star Power is needed to bear it. So, we need to catch someone or a Star Beast.”
Su Yuan nodded, “The second point is not difficult.”
Su Yuan’s mind moved. The bracelet on his wrist transformed back into a Slime, glowing with Water Light, and split into two Slimes.
“Is this a Star Beast?” Antonios was greatly surprised. He hadn’t realized the bracelet on Su Yuan’s wrist was a Slime Star Beast.
Su Yuan asked, “Do you think it will work?”
“Squish!” Both Ruan Ruan looked up at Antonios.
Antonios extended a hand to sense one of the Slimes.
“This is actually a Shining Star Level Slime? It can work as a transplant host.”
Su Yuan nodded and then said to Yang Aoshan, “The first point is also not a big issue. I’ll take you away when the time comes.”
Once the mark was extracted, Su Yuan could directly take Yang Aoshan into the Qingming Realm, allowing Ruan Ruan to take care of her during recovery.
“But…” Yang Aoshan hesitated.
Seeing her expression, Su Yuan knew what she was thinking.
“Are you worried about the barrier?”
“Yes… This barrier concerns my promotion to the Sixth Level…”
Yang Aoshan felt embarrassed, as Su Yuan took the risk to help her, yet she was causing delays.
Hearing Yang Aoshan’s words, Antonios beside her was shocked.
Sixth Level?
Wouldn’t that make her a Barrier Master!
So, she was already at the Fifth Level?
Antonios scrutinized Yang Aoshan again, calculating through her appearance that she was only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
A Fifth Level Barrier Master in her twenties? So that’s how it is!
In an instant, Antonios pieced together the entire situation between Yang Aoshan and Su Yuan.
Su Yuan subtly glanced at Antonios, then nodded to Yang Aoshan, “It’s fine. Let’s remove the barrier first and then extract the mark. It should be no problem.”
Yang Aoshan apologized, “Thank you, Su Env… Su Yuan!”
Su Yuan turned to Antonios, “We will need to trouble you to stay here a bit longer.”
Antonios didn’t say much, “Indeed, our return journey was faster than expected.”
Yang Aoshan immediately got up and smiled, “I’ll get to work then. Please feel free; help yourself to whatever you need.”
Su Yuan smiled, “Go ahead.”
Yang Aoshan returned to the basement to continue her work, while Su Yuan and Antonios stayed on the first floor.
Su Yuan had sensed Antonios’ subtle expression change earlier, understanding that he might have deduced everything.
If Antonios made any unusual moves, Su Yuan would act decisively.
However, Antonios simply sat on a chair by the table and began his own cultivation.
“Ruan Ruan, keep an eye on him.”
Su Yuan commanded. The two Slimes merged into one, jumped onto the table, and stared at Antonios unblinkingly with large gold eyes.
Antonios looked at the Slime acting like a guard and couldn’t help but laugh.
“This little guy is quite interesting.”
While speaking, Antonios reached out to pinch the Slime.
“Squish!” The Slime sternly halted him.
Antonios’s mouth twitched, slightly embarrassed, as he withdrew his hovering hand.
Even with Ruan Ruan watching, Su Yuan couldn’t cultivate. With nothing else to do, he leafed through books on a nearby shelf.
Yang Aoshan’s books were naturally all about barriers.
“Ice and Fire Transformation Rules,” “Wind and Thunder Changes in Eight Directions,” “Barrier Introduction”…
Su Yuan’s gaze settled, and he took out “Barrier Introduction” to read.
“The barrier is to exert infinite mystical power in a limited space, characterized by persistence and automaticity…”
Just by opening the first page, Su Yuan was stunned.
Since obtaining the Qingming Realm, aside from meditating regularly to enhance the power of the soul, Su Yuan had constantly pondered how to develop this power.
Undoubtedly, the Qingming Realm had immense potential, which would result in various divine skills as the power of the soul grew.
But for now, he lacked any strong means to defend against enemies.
“Exert infinite mystical power in a limited space?”
Reading this passage, a sudden clarity dawned on Su Yuan.
Yes, the essence of a barrier is to enhance the spatial power!
Array barriers are skills that best harness the power of “space”!
Typically, array barriers have two major limitations.
First, they cannot move.
Second, they require extensive time to set up.
These limitations make barriers hard to use in immediate combat.
But for Su Yuan, the portable Qingming Realm was the perfect container for barriers!
If a powerful array barrier existed within the Qingming Realm, pulling opponents into the realm would grant him an overwhelming advantage with the barrier’s power.
As long as the barrier was strong enough, even defeating Radiant Moon or Burning Sun wouldn’t be out of reach!
With this in mind, Su Yuan’s eyes burned with fervor. He then carefully examined “Barrier Introduction,” reading it page by page…
