Online: I Can See Health Bars-Chapter 1187 - 522: My Era!

Sheng Yuan held great suspicion towards Ding Hui’s explanation.

He knew Ding Hui had some talent, but it was said to be only in the field of alchemy. Arrays were a completely unfamiliar territory that couldn’t be mastered in a short time.

Moreover...

"You can’t learn it. This is closely related to the Demon Martial Artist ability of the Family Head, which is why such a great feat was possible. For others, even if the array is modified, it would be useless."

Unfortunately, these words still could not extinguish Ding Hui’s interest.

"Just teach me, whether I can learn it or not is my business."

Sheng Yuan frowned.

In theory, with his skills, he had no reason to teach outsiders casually.

But after so many years in the Hai Family, he couldn’t find a suitable disciple.

He had an exceptional ability in array techniques but felt helpless about carrying it to his grave, which he found hard to accept.

Therefore, over the years, he had been intensively searching for disciples and apprentices, yet he still hadn’t met anyone qualified.

When Ding Hui, an outsider, suddenly expressed a desire to learn such high-level array techniques, Sheng Yuan only felt offended and even scoffed.

However, when he was ready to deter Ding Hui using profound principles of arrays... 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Sheng Yuan discovered something was amiss.

In any field, if you dig deep enough, a kind of technical barrier will form.

But when you delve into a domain to the extreme, some things begin to cross-pollinate.

The woman before him, called Ding Hui, indeed did not understand arrays.

Yet her analytical thinking, sharp and accurate thought process, allowed her to grasp the principles even without understanding arrays.

The most feared thing in any matter is a lack of ideas.

If she truly understood this line of thinking, what remained was to fill in the basic knowledge of arrays, the advanced knowledge, delve deeply, and continuously conduct practical experiments and operations to enhance array technology.

Then, replicate a set of array techniques like hers.

Inconceivable.

Sheng Yuan could only use "inconceivable" to describe this woman before him.

If she was just pretending, she knew too much, and her thinking kept up with his rhythm. Even if she didn’t understand the composition of arrays, she could accurately point out the ultimate purpose and details of arrays.

Like a city, she might not know how the bricks are made, but she knew where the bricks should be placed to form walls, where to place them to build streets, houses, and understood the purpose of brick constructions like houses and streets; the ultimate meaning—the woman could articulate with precision, following the thought process.

"You, have you really never studied arrays before?"

Ding Hui tilted her head.

"I’ve researched but never delved deeply."

Pa!

Sheng Yuan slapped his thigh excitedly!

"Miss Ding, become my disciple, and learn arrays with me! Your talent and acumen are the highest among anyone I’ve met!"

Ding Hui shook her head slightly.

"It’s too time-consuming. If I study arrays, it would take me at least over five years to reach even half of your level. But Lord Sheng Yuan, your thinking is indeed exquisite. I never thought that Demon Martial Artists could resonate with arrays, spreading the cost among a million people, thereby greatly enhancing the beneficiaries... Marvelous! Marvelous is the only way to describe it!"

If before they had a bit of confrontation, now they directly became mutually appreciative.

Sheng Yuan admired Ding Hui’s talent and potential, while Ding Hui appreciated Sheng Yuan’s vast knowledge, feeling like old friends who met too late across generations.

Indeed, interacting with intelligent people is greatly beneficial.

Ding Hui always had ideas, but sometimes her thinking was confined by her knowledge base and technical means within a range.

And when experts from other fields conducted some pioneering research with their years of unique technical means, Ding Hui could always gain inspiration.

It was true for Yuan Hongxin, and it was true for Sheng Yuan as well.

"Had I always stayed in Tianyuan Town, I fear I’d never have imagined such a use for arrays!"

"It seems that escaping from Tianyuan Town wasn’t entirely a bad thing."

Faced with new knowledge, Ding Hui was eager and asked about one detail of the array after another, each question hitting Sheng Yuan’s sweet spot.

Because each question Ding Hui asked was an actual hurdle Sheng Yuan encountered during the array modification process!

He spent long, long times researching, exploring, digging deep, and experimenting before he gradually constructed the theoretical framework of the array.

In a way, if Sheng Yuan answers, it would be akin to saving Ding Hui years or even decades of detours!

But Sheng Yuan answered, honestly explained.

Not because Sheng Yuan was generous, but because a kindred spirit was rare.

Throughout Sunset City, no one truly understood his arrays, not even Lord Hai Lin; he only wanted to know the final effect the array would present, not the process and challenges encountered in constructing the array.

There’s a saying.

Talking to someone incompatible is like playing a lute to a cow.

Sheng Yuan possessed supreme skills in arrays, yet no one in Sunset City understood him!

But now, someone who truly understood him appeared!

And it turned out to be someone who barely understood array theory!

What a misalignment, yet what a fortune.
