The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3414 Thirty Years! I Did It!

failure!

failure!

Still failed!

After countless failures, Lin Chen's mood grew increasingly heavy.

"Sister Qi, how much time has passed?"

Qi replied, "Three years outside the tower, less than four months inside."

Lin Chen was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Qi explained, "There is a flow of time in this space, which is different from normal time. I estimated it to be about ten times one."

"Ten to one?"

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock: "So, a year outside is only a little over a month of normal time?"

"Yes."

Qi comforted her, "That's why there's still plenty of time, so don't worry."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes shining with joy: "Oh, that's wonderful! I was just estimating that several years had passed, and there wasn't much time left until the five-year deadline. Considering the slow progress in breaking the formation, I was afraid it definitely wouldn't be solved within five years..."

Qi Yu said gently, "Perhaps the gods who created this trial had already considered this situation, which is why they changed the flow of time to give everyone more time to break the formation."

Lin Chen turned to look at the Celestial Clan trial participants who were sitting quietly cross-legged, breaking the formation, and asked curiously, "Do these Celestial Clan trial participants know that time here is different from outside?"

"They probably don't know."

Qi replied, "Neither Wu Heng nor You Kun mentioned this matter, but if there are some special magical artifacts, it is still possible to determine the flow of time here."

Knowing that there was still plenty of time, Lin Chen's previously anxious mood immediately relaxed. He even thought about getting up and wandering around, but considering his identity as a human, he gave up on the idea.

Lin Chen closed his eyes again and continued to analyze the formation.

As time passed, the people around them gradually began to become anxious.

"It's almost been five years, and I've only deciphered less than a quarter of this formation. People are trapped here and can't get out. What should we do?"

"Yeah, are we going to be trapped here forever?"

"The most important thing is that five years have passed. Even if we manage to get through this, it will be too late. We won't be able to get out!"

"Let's wait and see. Maybe after five years, everyone who hasn't passed will be released?"

"That's possible. So many people have come in. If they can't break the formation, are we just supposed to die here? It's just a trial, it shouldn't be that bad, right?"

After a flurry of discussion, everyone finally pinned their hopes on the fact that the formation would allow them to leave once the five-year period ended.

However, everyone's hopes were dashed.

"Five years!"

A thin man waved a timekeeping device that resembled a compass in his hand, his voice filled with fear and unease.

"The five-year period has ended. It should be time for everyone to leave this starry sky and return to the Celestial Realm, but there is no response here. We are truly trapped here!"

Someone asked anxiously, "Are you sure it's been five years?"

The man pointed to the magical artifact in his hand: "I started timing when I came in, and it's been exactly five years now!"

Everyone panicked immediately.

If they don't go back by this time, they won't be able to go back!

They are trapped in this starry sky, and it is unknown how long they will be imprisoned. They may die here because all the cultivation resources they carry will be exhausted!
"What kind of broken formation is this? Does it really have to be broken down so slowly?"

The young man gritted his teeth: "Anyway, I'll die if I don't get out, so I'll give it a try!" The young man summoned his magic weapon and, under everyone's gaze, crashed headfirst into the formation in front of him.

The giant array, which was originally as still as a lake, suddenly surged, endless green light flashed, arrays exploded one after another, and the branches of the towering tree enveloped the young man.

The young man exerted all his strength to activate the magic weapon, but in the blink of an eye, he was overwhelmed by endless branches and leaves.

The tsunami-like formation gradually subsided, the branches and leaves that had been gathered together dispersed again, and the giant tree returned to its original state.

The young man had vanished as if he had never existed, but the magical artifact that fell from the sky revealed his tragic end.

This scene instilled fear in everyone.

Wu Heng and You Kun both turned to look at Lin Chen, their eyes filled with anxiety.

"Don't worry about it, breaking the formation will give us a chance to survive."

Lin Chen didn't explain the issue of time flow to the two of them, but simply left them with a statement that left them quite confused.

Five years have passed, what's the point of breaking the formation now?

The exit is closed. Do you think you can open it?

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Lin Chen remained immersed in the formation, continuing his analysis.

He vaguely sensed the intention of the person who set up this training ground: on the one hand, to give everyone enough time to learn about formations, and on the other hand, to test everyone's character.

For example, nowadays, many people have given up on breaking through the formation and have simply given up.

Fortunately, although these people gave up, they didn't bother the remaining people who were still trying to break the formation; otherwise, they probably would have started fighting first.

Lin Chen's speed in analyzing formations wasn't particularly fast, but every time he overcame a difficulty level, his mastery of wood-type formations would improve significantly.

ten years!

Twenty years!
Thirty years!
Given such a long period of time, the vast majority of people have already given up.

If people still held onto a glimmer of hope in the previous five years, then after ten or twenty years, they were "certain" that they were trapped and dying here.

They were angry, they cursed, they became irritable, and they couldn't stand anyone...

You Kun and Wu Heng had already given up. Seeing that Lin Chen was still focused on breaking the formation, they simply became his bodyguards.

Some people were annoyed that Lin Chen was still focused on breaking the formation and tried to cause trouble. So the two of them stepped forward and blocked the troublemakers.

The two weren't top-tier in strength, not comparable to those prodigies, but they weren't weak either, so neither of them necessarily wanted to fight them to the death.

With their protection, Lin Chen sat quietly for thirty years.

"Ding!"

A silent sound echoed in Lin Chen's mind. On the giant tree, a flash of azure light suddenly appeared, and the azure light became extremely intense.

As the cyan light fell, countless dots of light lit up, and runes appeared, with lines being drawn out.

As the light extended, the previously faintly visible giant array in the air seemed to be fully activated, revealing its true form and enveloping everyone's heads.

This sudden change instantly attracted everyone's attention, and then everyone's eyes fell on Lin Chen, who was still sitting cross-legged.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and smiled.

Thirty years!
He finally found the crucial stick!

The formation has been broken!
