Chapter 1168 Repaired Again
"Once we've stopped the expansion of the turbid energy, we can consider repairing the damage to the small secret realm. We certainly can't repair it with our current abilities, so could we use a seal...?"

Shi Jia spoke eloquently, leaving the members of the Qinglan team dumbfounded. This was too audacious!

In the monitoring room, Zi Linglong couldn't help but sneer, "They really don't know their place." She waved her hand, signaling the proctor to shrink the enlarged screen.

There's no need to keep paying attention to him; he's just a delusional little brat. Only a naive woman like Lan Xin would take him so seriously.

It was precisely because of her lack of attention that Shi Jia had one experimental opportunity after another.

That's right, Shi Jia and his group encountered the turbid energy vortex again, which is the point at which the small secret realm collapses!
"What is that?" The Azure Team chased the Turbid Beast and arrived at a mountain stream. The air pressure in the stream was very high, and the team members felt a little short of breath.

A whirlpool appeared in the mountain stream, but instead of sucking in, it was spitting out.

Just then, a turbid beast was vomited out.

"Everyone be careful!" Shi Jia's pupils constricted. The sapling flew out, and with a flick of its aerial root, Lu Tianxue and Dai Yuxuan, who were walking at the front, were immediately thrown away.

Paintbrush and drawing board appeared in Shi Jia's hands. He waved the blue paintbrush in his hand, and after a while, he threw the brush tip with an array diagram onto the sapling.

The array diagram grew larger with the wind, and by the time it landed on the sapling, it had become an array diagram with a diameter of 3 meters, firmly enveloping the vortex.

At this moment, the surging, turbid air in the mountain stream, like a kite with a broken string, lost its source of power and collapsed completely. Everyone felt a sense of relief, and the suffocating feeling disappeared.

"Junior, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Zi swallowed hard, not daring to approach Shi Jia.

Seeing that the sapling and the array had stabilized the turbid energy vortex, Shi Jia felt slightly relieved. "That turbid energy vortex was the point at which the secret realm collapsed."

"What?" everyone exclaimed.
"You, you've encountered this before?" Lu Tianxue looked at him in shock, knowing he was hiding something, but she didn't expect it to be something so significant.

“You also fixed the crash node!” Lu Tianxue continued.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Captain, don't joke like that, it's not funny at all." Huang Qi's smile was stiff.

Lu Tianxue didn't answer him, she just kept staring at Shi Jia.

Shi Jia twitched the corner of her mouth. "Uh, I guess so, but it wasn't entirely my doing; someone helped me."

"Who?"

Shi Jia shook her head. "I don't know. Who knows who's behind this vortex?"

"Behind the vortex?" They looked at the turbid beast at Shi Jia's feet. What was behind the vortex was already obvious. "You mean the turbid beast?"

"Um, I'm not really sure about that either." Shi Jia forced an awkward smile. "I only remember that at the time, my little sapling felt a force squeezing the space on the other side, and then... how did you get so big!"

Shi Jia stared at the banyan tree, which had grown to 3 meters tall and was still growing.

The others stared at Shi Jia and the banyan tree in astonishment. Liu Zhan spoke first, "Junior, is this the second form of the sapling?"

Shi Jia was taken aback. "Uh, you could say that." She almost forgot that many magical artifacts have a second form.

Lu Tianxue and the others exchanged glances; it seemed this junior had many secrets to hide.

"By the way, where were we?" Shi Jia quickly changed the subject when he saw this. "Oh, we were talking about energy squeezing space on the other side. As for whether it's a human or a turbid beast squeezing space, I have no idea."

“However, one thing is very important: if we want to repair this broken node, the other side must put in some effort,” Shi Jia said solemnly.

The crowd nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Captain, could you guys keep an eye on the small, uh, big banyan tree for me? I'm going to see if I can set up a sealing array on the inside."

As Shi Jia spoke, he took out the sketchbook and quickly flipped to the page with the sealing array diagrams. Although he had already memorized all the arrays, he still preferred looking at the sketchbook. So he drew his inspiration and various array diagrams he had learned from Madam Lan Xin on it.

He held the array diagram close to the base of the sapling, observing the vortex below. He pondered how to seal it. He quickly discovered that although the vortex showed no signs of disappearing, it was now half its original size, only 30 centimeters in diameter!

"Perhaps we can combine it with an energy purification and conversion array!"

With inspiration, Shi Jia was like a tiger with wings, and soon drew a new formation.

He stared at the formation for a while, took a deep breath, and looked at everyone. "Everyone, I have a plan now, but it may not be successful."

"Huh? What is it?"

Shi Jia explained, and everyone's expressions turned serious. "Should we wait a little longer? What if we fail and end up making the vortex bigger?"

“No, I can guarantee that,” Shi Jia said. “We have to try no matter what. This little secret realm has more than one point of collapse.”

"I suspect that the secret realm is like a sieve right now, leaking air everywhere. No, it's leaking turbid air and turbid beasts."

A sieve-like secret realm immediately flashed into everyone's mind, and they subconsciously shuddered.

"Let's give it a try, even if it's a hopeless situation."

"There's no need to be so nervous." Shi Jia smiled. "I'll put the saplings away in a bit. Just be careful not to let the turbid beasts come out and attack me."

"Oh, don't worry, junior, I've got your safety covered," Chen Yinong and Huang Qi assured him, patting their chests.

Shi Jia smiled, adjusted his breathing, and began to draw the array diagram. This new array diagram had not been calculated and was likely to collapse, but he did not have time to calculate it now, so he could only draw and adjust it at the same time.

And so, everyone saw sparks bursting from Shi Jia's pen, and bursts of energy dissipating from the tip of the pen.

An hour later, a burst of colorful light erupted, and Shi Jia shouted, "Now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sapling turned into green light and landed on Shi Jia's head. Huang Chenliu and the other two stared wide-eyed at this scene, about to burst out laughing, but Lu Tianxue glared at them first.

And the earth shook violently.

"Everyone be careful!" The members of the Blue and Green Team nervously surrounded Shi Jia.

"It's alright, the vortex is closing." Shi Jia steadied himself and severed his connection with the formation.

Just now, he felt that this space was absorbing his spiritual energy.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." Shi Jia's face was pale, and the forced smile didn't look like there was nothing wrong at all.

The distrust in everyone's eyes was so obvious that Shi Jia felt slightly frustrated. "Hey, what's with those expressions?"

"If you don't believe me, don't you believe what you see with your own eyes?" Shi Jia pointed to the slowly flowing stream.

Where are the whirlpools now? Where are the turbid beasts now?
"The vortex has disappeared?"

"We actually managed to fix a crashed node!"

"Wrong, it's not us, it's junior Shi Jia!" As a supporter of Shi Jia, Cheng Zi absolutely wouldn't allow anyone else to steal his credit.

"Okay, okay, it's junior Shi Jia." The others quickly corrected themselves, their eyes fixed intently on Shi Jia. "Junior, when did you become so awesome? How come we didn't know?"

"That's right. When did you become a Spirit Array Master, junior? I don't remember you studying array formation as a major, right?"

"Have you all forgotten that Madam Lan Xin is a top-notch array spirit master!"

"Huh? Could it be that junior learned from Madam Lanxin?"

"Isn't that an obvious fact?"

Looking at his teammates who were even more excited than him, Shi Jia couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Was he already getting old?
