Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

Chapter 209 The Diamond Dragon Claw That Destroys Everything

In the Array Formation Club’s stronghold, a total of ten people sat around the center of a vast array formation.

These ten people were the ten strongest array formation mages in this stronghold. At this moment, each of their faces had a cheerful smile on them, and their faces were filled with pride.

“Lu Yu broke through the first few barriers smoothly, but what’s the use? He’s stuck outside the seventh layer of the formation.”

“Being able to break through the first six barriers quickly is enough to prove his strength, but that’s all he can do. Moving forward, every step will be more difficult than the last. I reckon he won’t even be able to break through the seventh layer!”

At that moment, Gu Feng said, “I originally planned to build a ninth layer formation to defend, but the process of building the ninth layer formation was too complicated and took a long time. Thus, I only built a semi-finished product.”

“Now it seems he’s stuck on the seventh layer formation. There’s no need for us to finish building the ninth layer.”

The others agreed, “From the looks of it, his strength is only so-so.”

“There’s really no need to build the ninth one. That array can even take his life, and we just need him to retreat.”

“The eighth barrier alone is something he’ll never be able to break through, and he’s stuck at the seventh. If he wants to attack our stronghold, it’s just wishful thinking.”

Gu Feng raised his hands and released his mana. He began to draw an array formation.

After the array formation was completed, a blue light screen appeared in the air. A clear image was displayed on the screen, a bird’s eye view of what was happening out there.

It showed Lu Yu trapped in the seventh array formation.

At that moment, Lu Yu stood before the barrier before him, carefully observing the formation pattern in front of him.

This barrier formation was of a high-level array. Only a 3-star array mage would be qualified to build such a formation.

The scale of the barrier formation was vast, and the amount of mana consumed was equally shocking.

Building this barrier layer was a small expenditure of at least several thousand mana points.

Some buildings were protected by these barriers all year round, and the amount of mana consumed was uncountable.

For the array mages in this stronghold, it was much easier to build these barriers here compared to the outside.

The spiritual energy here was abundant, and the mana consumed could be quickly recovered. There wasn’t even a need to drink mana potions.

Even if Lu Yu learned this kind of array formation, he didn’t have the mana to build it.

One was the experience problem, and the other was that Lu Yu’s mana limit was low. The worst thing to do when inscribing an array formation was to be interrupted by mana limitation, significantly lowering the success rate.

He reached out and touched the barrier before him a few more times. After feeling the thickness of the barrier, Lu Yu felt that his Explosive Dragon Claw should be able to break it.

However, strength was not the Explosive Dragon Claw’s strongest suit, as it excelled at slicing and dicing. What Lu Yu wanted was to break this barrier.

From the looks of it, the Diamond Dragon Claw was the most suitable.

His ordinary dragon claws, which were covered in scales, were now covered with a thick layer of diamond armor.

The claws turned into diamonds, sharp and hard as if they could destroy everything.

Lu Yu’s arms and muscles grew in size.

Feeling this powerful force, Lu Yu clenched his fists and made a battle pose.

Everyone in the stronghold sat up straight when they saw this.

The change in Lu Yu’s dragon claws attracted their attention.

“This change seems to have made his pair of claws a little more deadly.”

“It looks like it has been strengthened. As expected, he didn’t use his full strength just now.”

“So what? It’s just a futile effort. It’s impossible for him to break through this barrier with just some strengthening. How much of an improvement can there be?”

“That’s right. In my opinion, this is his last resort. If it doesn’t work, he will return dejectedly.”

Although this group of people were confident, they were also nervous. They were afraid that Lu Yu would really break through this barrier.

At that moment, Lu Yu’s entire right arm was gathering strength. His muscles bulged continuously, as if he was charging up.

The next moment, Lu Yu suddenly swung his right fist. He smashed his right fist hard onto the barrier.

Crash!

The violent tremors caused the surrounding ground to tremble. The trees and bushes nearby shook twice, with leaves falling.

Crack!

The barrier before him cracked like broken glass.

With Lu Yu’s fist as the center, the cracks spread out in the shape of a spider web.

Boom!!

The next moment, the barrier shattered into countless pieces like broken glass, falling onto the ground with a crash.

Soon, the shards of broken barriers disappeared.

This barrier was also easily taken down by Lu Yu with one punch.

Lu Yu loosened his right fist and moved it. He felt that the power in his fist was not fully released, but it was enough to destroy this barrier.

If it was an Explosive Dragon Claw, it could also destroy the barrier. But it would be difficult to shatter the entire barrier with one punch like his Diamond Dragon Claw.

The scene was transmitted to the interior of the stronghold, causing the ten array mages to panic. They stared nervously at the light screen in front of them.

“How… how is this possible? He actually broke it!”

“The power of this strengthened claw increased by more than one level.”

“He shattered it with one punch. Isn’t this too strong? It’s not like there hasn’t been anyone who challenged our arrays before, but none of them is as aggressive as him.”

“The dark horse of this year’s freshmen is just that terrifying. He broke through the seventh layer of the barrier!”

“Everyone, don’t be anxious.”

Gu Feng quickly calmed everyone down and continued, “It’s only the seventh layer, and we still have the eighth layer of protection. He definitely won’t be able to break through that.”

“Although the first to sixth layers of barriers are of the same level.”

“But starting from the seventh level, each level’s difficulty will be a leap!”

“He definitely won’t be able to pass through the eighth level!”

Everyone looked at each other before slowly nodding their heads.

“That’s right. Although very few people can reach the eighth barrier, it’s definitely not something he can break through!”

“Although he has created many shocking miracles, there won’t be any more of those. He will be firmly blocked outside the eighth level. As for the ninth level? I’m afraid he won’t be able to see it in his lifetime.”

“That’s right. Even the top experts in the Martial Arts Club can’t break through the eighth barrier. He is just a freshman; forget about it.”

Everyone was sure that Lu Yu would not be able to break through the eighth barrier.

However, after a moment of silence, someone suggested, “Captain Gu, why don’t we complete the ninth barrier? This way, it can be considered as a precaution.”

The others nodded in agreement. They still did not want to take any risks, even though they were confident that Lu Yu would not be able to break through the eighth barrier…
