Evan Yang and the others immediately caught the meaning behind these words, but Elder Lewis Lu was displeased and retorted, "What do you mean by that? Is this how you treat my guest?"
"Don't be angry, Elder Lewis. We're just telling the truth. We've been here for a long time, and even we can't break it. I doubt he can either," said the one who made the suggestion.
The person who objected continued, "That's right. If he really had that kind of skill, Elder Lewis would have brought him in earlier. No need to wait for us."
"You two, stay outside and watch how they break it." Elder Lewis was furious.
Those two had arrived later and couldn't enter the formation, so they could only speak from outside. Naturally, their words were heard by Evan Yang and the others.
The one who made the suggestion laughed, "Then let's see what happens."
"Evan Yang, Marvin Mu, you two discuss how to break it," said Elder Lewis.
Evan Yang and Marvin Mu nodded. The two started examining the formation inside, while the two outside were dismissive, pointing and making sarcastic remarks, nearly forcing Elder Lewis to punish them.
"What do you think?" After a while, Marvin Mu asked Evan Yang.
Evan Yang replied, "This formation is already very strong, and it gathers a lot of energy to maintain itself. To break it, we have to find where the energy source is."
"That's right. But I've checked before, and I heard the array source has stopped running. I don't know where the energy is coming from now," said Marvin Mu.
Evan Yang listened and replied suspiciously, "I see."
"I thought he was impressive, but he's just so-so," the one who made the suggestion laughed after hearing their conversation. The other person laughed along, and the two joined forces against outsiders.
Elder Lewis snorted coldly, "If you keep this up, I'll go back and deal with you myself."
The two exchanged a glance. They were unwilling, but had no choice. They were only second-rate, after all; if they were first-rate, Elder Lewis wouldn't dare speak to them like this.
Then Elder Lewis turned and said, "You may continue."
Evan Yang nodded, then asked Marvin Mu, "When you investigated before, did you find anything else?"
"Aside from being unable to find the array source, there have been special modifications, so this isn't the original formation anymore. To break it, we have to find the array eye, but I've searched for a long time and found nothing," said Marvin Mu.
Evan Yang replied, "Got it."
"Do you have any ideas?" Marvin Mu asked.
