Savage Bone Trap

Song Ziyue has already stated that he personally set up the Five Elements Bone Formation. Therefore, logically speaking, the person who set up the array actually has the advantage, while the person who breaks the array is at a disadvantage.

In a typical contest, one side sets up a formation, while the other side tries to break it. If the formation can be completely broken, it means that the strength of the one who breaks the formation exceeds that of the one who sets it up.

Song Ziyue did not take advantage of Lin Yuan in this regard. He was arrogant and looked down on Lin Yuan. He declared that as long as Lin Yuan withdrew more than 30% of the Savage Power, Lin Yuan would win.

Thirty percent of the Savage Power is considered quite low.

Feeling humiliated by Song Ziyue, Lin Yuan was seething with anger. "How dare you be so arrogant! Watch me break your bone formation!"

To the untrained eye, Song Ziyue's bone array is completely incomprehensible; it looks like a child who has taken a pile of animal bones and randomly arranged them.

However, when Lin Yuan stepped onto the bone array, his expression turned solemn. He could tell that these desolate bones had been treated with special methods.

The five types of untamed bones—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—correspond to untamed beasts of the five elements, and none of them are ordinary untamed beasts.

For example, the desolate bone that Song Ziyue is seeing right now is the bone of a Beast General level desolate beast.

Lin Yuan couldn't tell what kind of wild beast it was. The bone looked very special; it was smooth and round all over, like a piece of glass.

"Although Song Ziyue is arrogant, he does have some strength. The great formation he set up is a fusion of the Savage Beast Bones of elite-level and Beast General level wild beasts. Near the inner circle of the formation's core, there are even the bones of King-level Savage Beast. To break this formation, we must first find the formation's core."

On the surrounding pavilions, people were discussing the matter, never expecting that the battles of the Savage Heaven Technique would unfold in this way after Song Ziyue arrived.

However, this method is indeed more technically sophisticated than the previous crude clash of rune seals, and it allows for a prolonged battle.

Song Ziyue's formation is set up right here, and it's possible that several people in a row won't be able to break it. This is also the reason why he can challenge the Lin family's elites in a gauntlet battle all by himself.

"This bone should be the center of more than a dozen desolate bones nearby, and also one of the key points of this great formation."

Lin Yuan had just counted that there were a total of 108 pieces of desolate bone in this great formation, with nine formation eyes. Each group consists of 12 pieces of bone, and each group has a central bone, which is where the formation eyes are located.

If this central bone is broken, this small formation will be destroyed.

Song Ziyue had previously stated that if Lin Yuan could break through 30% of his formation, he would have won.

Although Lin Yuan was unconvinced by Song Ziyue's disdainful words, as he began to study the Five Elements Bone Formation, he gradually suppressed his arrogance. This array was no simple matter!

Regardless, winning is the priority. It would be too embarrassing if I couldn't even break through 30% of the bone formation.

"All I need to do is extract the Savage Power from the four pieces of the desolate bone and break through the four small formations, and I will win."

Thinking this, Lin Yuan poured all his spiritual power into the smooth, round glass bone in front of him. The bone was radiating a burning heat, so it should be a Savage Beast Bones with fire-type energy attributes.

As Lin Yuan's thoughts sank deeper, for some reason, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if his consciousness had been sucked into the desolate bones and entered a world filled with fire.

"Huh? What's this!?"

Lin Yuan was on high alert. He immediately focused his mind and tried to withdraw from his consciousness. Just then, the smooth, fiery blue bone shattered!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a fiery python, its entire body crimson, leaped out from the desolate bones. The python opened its blood-red maw and bit down on Lin Yuan.

"Ah!"

Lin Yuan let out a scream. Although the incident happened suddenly, his soul sea was attacked, and his head was throbbing. But at the moment when the fire python threatened his life, Lin Yuan still mustered all his strength and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The energy exploded, and the fire python was forcefully shattered by Lin Yuan. However, at the same time, Lin Yuan's fist was fractured due to the enormous impact of the collision with the fire python, and his fist was covered in blood!

Lin Yuan himself was also swept away by the shockwave of energy, flying backward and crashing heavily onto the square.

His face was pale, and his body was twitching slightly; he was clearly seriously injured.

Actually, the injury on his arm was nothing. The most serious problem was the damage to his soul sea. He had used his spiritual power to probe into the desolate bones, but the bones backfired, damaging his soul sea.

Such an injury requires the best Soul Nurturing Pill to heal, and he will be unable to use his spiritual power for at least half a month.

"What happened? What just occurred?"

A junior member of the Lin family, unaware of what was happening, suddenly saw a piece of glass-like desolate bone shatter, from which a fire python sprang forth and injured Lin Yuan.

"It's the phantom of the essence left behind after the death of a wild beast!"

An elder from the Lin family said in a deep voice. He was very surprised that this junior named Song Ziyue had mastered such a technique. It was truly astonishing.

"That piece of glass-like desolate bone is actually the 'Brain Stone' inside the head of Beast General level desolate beast— the Crimson Flame Python. When Song Ziyue killed the Crimson Flame Python, she sealed its essence into the Brain Stone and then used it to create the core of a large Five Elements Bone Formation!"

"The essence of the Crimson Flame Python remaining in the Brain Stone is filled with the resentment of someone who was killed. Once triggered, it will shatter the Brain Stone and transform into a murderous phantom of a fire python. If the person who was investigating just now had reacted any slower, they would probably have died on the spot."

Although many Savage Heaven Masters are not good at fighting, they are skilled in certain killing techniques, such as setting traps in the Savage Bone Relic.

This is a true example of the Savage Heaven Technique killing someone.

The desolate bones contain traps, and even if the person attempting to break the formation knows of their existence, it will be difficult to do so. To break the formation, one must immerse their spiritual power into the desolate bones, which will trigger the traps and cause their spiritual power to be devoured by the Savage Beast Essence. The outcome is predictable.

Unless one's Savage Heaven Technique is exceptionally skilled, allowing them to break free of Song Ziyue's trap the instant their spiritual power sinks into the Desolate Bones, Lin Yuan clearly lacks this ability.

Lin Yuan retreated to the Evening Breeze Pavilion, his face pale. He had already taken a Soul Nurturing Pill and had his broken arm bone reattached, barely recovering some of his vitality.

"I was careless, so careless. I fell into this guy's trap. If I had known there was a trap in the Desolate Bone, I definitely wouldn't have done this."

Back at the Evening Breeze Pavilion, Lin Yuan felt incredibly embarrassed facing so many junior brothers and sisters. His previous pre-battle commands and arrangements for the order of appearance made him seem like the leader of the Evening Breeze Pavilion.

As a result, when Lin Yuan went into battle, Song Ziyue said that he would win if he could extract 30% of the energy. As a result, Lin Yuan fell into the trap and lost the battle as soon as he tried to extract the energy from the first piece of barren bone.

He didn't lose a single bit of energy; he suffered a complete defeat, which was truly shameful!

"This kid first used 30% of his energy to distract me, making me overlook the possibility that there might be traps in the Desolate Bones. He's too cunning!"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and then gave another reason that wasn't very convincing. Not far away, Yi Yun shook his head slightly as he listened. The duel between the Savage Heaven Master was originally about using one's abilities to create various obstacles for the other. Setting traps in the Desolate Bones was a very common practice.

When he first came into contact with the Savage Heaven Technique and refined the Scale Bone Gall, Luo Huo'er, out of spite, also set a trap in the Scale Bone Gall, intending to make the Scale Bone Gall and splatter bile all over Yi Yun if Yi Yun's spiritual power entered it.

As a result, Yi Yun saw through her scheme, and Luo Huo'er ended up harming herself instead.

Of course, compared to Luo Huo'er's purely mischievous traps, Song Ziyue's method of enlightening the Savage Beast Essence is far more lethal; it can kill people.

"Is anyone else coming?" On the plaza, Song Ziyue asked, taking out another bone from her Space Ring to replace the original Crimson Flame Python bone. However, this bone was not a fire-type bone, but a water-type one.

This surprised people; the Five Elements Bone Formation set up by Song Ziyue could place different pieces of wild bone each time.

Such ever-changing formations are the most troublesome because their patterns are difficult to discern.

"Any apprentice of the Savage Heaven Technique under the age of eighteen may challenge my Five Elements Bone Formation at will! If you can break through 30%, you will be considered to have won!"

Song Ziyue was extremely confident. His provocation really angered the Lin family disciples. Song Ziyue was only sixteen years old, yet he claimed that any apprentice of the Savage Heaven Technique under the age of eighteen could challenge him at will.

However, although people were unconvinced, they also knew that the great formation set up by Song Ziyue must be very difficult to deal with. As the Personal Disciple of the Middle-aged man surnamed Sun, Lin Yuan's level of Savage Heaven Technique was also outstanding in the Lin family. However, he failed to extract any energy in front of the Five Elements Bone Formation and was directly defeated.

Lin Yuan said he was too careless and that's why he fell into the trap, but in reality everyone knew that Song Ziyue's trap was so clever and well-hidden that Lin Yuan failed to notice it; otherwise, he wouldn't have lost so badly.

In this situation, even if someone explicitly tells Lin Yuan that there is a trap in the desolate bones, he would probably be powerless to do anything about it.

Yi Yun looked at Song Ziyue in the square and gently pinched the bridge of his nose. His purpose in attending the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party was very clear: to sabotage the event!

In the previous large-scale battle involving sixty-four people, Lin Yuan asked Yi Yun to go up, but Yi Yun was naturally uninterested. In such a large-scale battle, the participants were all small fry, Yi Yun would only waste his mental energy in vain, which would be meaningless.

He needed to make his move at a time like this, when the opponent's top-tier Savage Heaven Master apprentice appeared. This was the perfect opportunity for Yi Yun to strike.

Yi Yun stood up, said nothing, and walked towards the edge of the Evening Breeze Pavilion.

The young men and women at the Evening Breeze Pavilion were wondering what Yi Yun was going to do when, without saying a word, Yi Yun's body soared into the air, leaping towards the center of the plaza like a feather...

As Yi Yun leaped into the air, another girl in a small pavilion in the middle of the lake also took to the air and flew towards the lakeside square.
