Chapter 418: The Awakening Array
Chapter 418: The Awakening Array
After about a quarter of an hour, Ms. Liang concluded her explanation and fell silent, leaving the students with a sense of unfinished business.
The students left, still eager for more.
Once they were gone, Bai Bingbing approached Ms. Liang and briefly explained the situation.
Li Qian witnessed this and was a bit bewildered.
What's going on? Why are you so eager to help me evolve my companion beast?
And I'm right here; I could have spoken for myself.
With your explanation, it seems we've made things a bit unclear.
However, Bai Bingbing had already spoken, and it was too late to stop her now. So, they waited where they were.
As expected, the subsequent events unfolded as Li Qian anticipated. Bai Bingbing waved at him through the crowd.
Li Qian's lips twitched, and he silently made his way over.
But as he glanced sideways, he noticed that the bespectacled boy, Liu Qingyuan, had a rather dark expression.
Now, there was no need for explanations; things had become too complicated to clarify.
Facing Ms. Liang, Li Qian's face lit up with a smile. He calmly approached her and said, "Ms. Liang, hello. Your explanation earlier was very enlightening. I hope you don't mind me eavesdropping."
"Of course not. You're a student of Shazhou Beast University, and I don't mind students from other schools," Ms. Liang replied in a gentle tone.
As she spoke, she glanced around at the surrounding students, including Liu Qingyuan.
Li Qian was puzzled and looked over at Bai Bingbing, who was not far away.
Bai Bingbing understood Li Qian's thoughts and explained, "Teacher Huang and his team are from Shazhou Defense University."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian suddenly understood and nodded, marveling at Ms. Liang's broad-mindedness.
"I heard you have an evolution research project that needs my assistance?" Ms. Liang asked when she saw Li Qian approaching.
Li Qian nodded, "Yes, I'd appreciate your help, Ms. Liang."
Ms. Liang smiled faintly, "Of course, I can assist you, but you'll need to tell me what it's about. I'm afraid I might not be of much help if it's not in my field of expertise."
She was clearly joking.
Li Qian immediately waved his hand, "No, this is a piece of cake for Ms. Liang."
Ms. Liang continued to joke, "You're putting a lot of pressure on me. Go ahead and tell me what it's about."
Li Qian pointed to a specific location and said to Ms. Liang, "Ms. Liang, please come this way for a moment."
After a moment, the two arrived at the spot where Li Qian had seen the mysterious array earlier.
"It's this array, Ms. Liang. Can you set up this formation?" Li Qian asked, pointing at the mysterious array.
This array, known as the Awakening Array, had caught Li Qian's attention earlier when he was climbing the stone steps. He had already submitted a request regarding it.
Successfully obtaining the complete evolution method, Li Qian also raised his achievement points to twenty-six.
With the complete evolution method in hand, Li Qian naturally understood every detail of the evolution.
The school's evolutionary hypothesis had a high degree of overlap with this information.
The evolution process involved consuming Star Glow Fish and mastering the Leap Dance skill at an expert level, all while being empowered by the Awakening Array, ultimately leading to evolution.
There were many details in this evolution process, so he won't go into them all, but the general flow was as described.
This evolution process and method weren't particularly challenging, but the only issue was... Li Qian didn't know how to set up this Awakening Array.
Although he couldn't set it up, Li Qian could tell that the array wasn't overly complex, and setting it up shouldn't be too difficult.
Like Professor Liang, an eminent archaeologist, setting up such an array was a piece of cake, and not an exaggeration.
According to Li Qian's understanding, archaeologists were often array masters as well.
The more skilled the array master, the more adept they were at controlling arrays.
Without a doubt, Professor Liang was undoubtedly a master of arrays.
As it turned out, Li Qian's guess was not wrong.
Upon seeing the content that required assistance, Professor Liang's smile became even more apparent, and she glanced at Li Qian meaningfully, "Student Li Qian, do you know this array?"
It was clear that Professor Liang was about to test him.
Moreover, Li Qian said he needed Professor Liang's help in setting up this array, but if even he himself didn't understand it, wouldn't he be making fun of her?
"Awakening Array," Li Qian replied.
Professor Liang nodded, "Sure, no problem."
After a pause, she continued, "But not today, it's about to get dark."
A moment later, night fell.
Just as Yilina had said before, it was like turning off the lights.
The slightly hazy sky suddenly darkened.
Seeing this, Li Qian sighed, "It's truly amazing."
"What should we do next? Should we return to Blooming Castle?" Li Qian asked.
"No need."
Yilina shook her head, "Going back and forth is too time-consuming."
"Li Qian, tonight you can camp with us," Bai Bingbing suddenly walked over and invited.
Li Qian smiled, "This, it's not really appropriate."
"What's wrong with that?"
Bai Bingbing said, "It's arranged by my teacher."
"Alright." Hearing this, Li Qian nodded.
Since he still needed Professor Liang's assistance tomorrow, he couldn't refuse now.
"I think going back is also an option." Seeing this, Yilina suddenly lowered her voice and changed her mind.
Li Qian sighed, "It's too late."
After saying this, he followed Bai Bingbing's footsteps and walked over.
Professor Liang's team had eight members, and they set up eight tents on the spot.
Her tent was located closest to the Stone Tower.
The outer area was the camp of the guard personnel.
As Li Qian entered the camp area, he spread out his hand, and a folded-up tent suddenly appeared in his hand.
After setting up the tent, just as Li Qian was about to settle in, Yilina's voice sounded again.
"Li Qian, over here!" She pointed to the space next to her tent that had just become available.
Upon hearing this, several people poked their heads out of nearby tents, wearing expressions of curiosity.
Li Qian was at a loss, so he walked over.
At this moment, if he refused, Bai Bingbing would definitely feel a bit embarrassed.
"Okay." So he went with the flow, carrying his tent and walking over.
The awkward situation still occurred.
Yilina also carried her tent and followed.
In the end, the three tents were almost side by side, set up together.
"Sigh!" Returning to the tent, Li Qian sighed helplessly.
The next day, at dawn, Li Qian woke up early.
After a quick wash and a bite of compressed biscuits, and a sip of water, Li Qian went to the place where the array pattern was located.
Just as he arrived, before he had a chance to take a look, he caught sight of the silently standing Professor Liang.
"Let's go, follow me!" Upon noticing Li Qian, Professor Liang gestured with her hand.
Immediately, Li Qian was astonished to find himself floating in mid-air.
