Dwight initially posed his question to Fane with a mindsight that Fane had the method to resolve the trap array, but all hopes had left him at this point. What did it matter that Fane had studied many books when a formidable individual like Elder Gardner had perished in this place? Did Elder Gardner study fewer books and had lesser knowledge compared to Fane?
Although Jed was a simple-minded person, he realized that Dwight asked the question because he felt that Fane was searching for ways to resolve the trap array.
Jed smiled bitterly, apathetically, "Are you still placing your hopes on him? You think too highly of him, you know. No matter what, he's only in the initial stage of innate level. How can he find the method to
resolve this array when his fighting prowess is lower than ours? Let's just silently wait here for our deaths."
Dwight exhaled deeply. "Don’t be so discouraged. Although what you said makes sense, I still think we should give everything a try."
Jed, however, felt like Dwight’s pep talk was hilarious. "Try everything, you say? How should we try everything? Should we also punch into the air like a crazy man?!'
Just then, they heard Fane exclaim, "I found it!”
The two of them immediately raised their heads and looked over. Fane looked as if he discovered something incredibly priceless in the way his eyes shone brightly, and he even turned to look at his father and pointed excitedly to a direction in the air. Jed and Dwight had no idea what he was so excited about, but Nash seemed to have understood why Fane was so excited.
"It’s the fish-scale pattern; no doubt about it!"
As Fane punched into the air, his true energy appeared in the form of a fish-scale pattern before slowly disappearing into the surrounding space, much to his delight. He threw one more punch, despite his hands trembling, and did not hold back this time. His true energy instantly filled the space like a large bucket of cold water pouring from the sky.
Fane and Nash's eyes widened instantly. The true energy collided into the air, and waves after waves of fish-scale patterns were formed before they slowly dispersed into the surrounding space.
"It's real! We’ve found it! We’ve really found it!" Nash cheered, unable to suppress his surprise laced with disbelief. The entire thing felt so surreal to him from the moment he received the news until this moment when the fish-scale pattern appeared with Fane's punches. Nash could barely believe it, even though Fane mentioned that he had found a solution and declared it to him.
After all, the Ten Absolutes trap array was an ancient trap array and none of those previous great masters were able to escape from this ancient array.
Fane narrowed his eyes and focused all his attention to the space, which had stabilized, in front of him. "Who would've expected for it to be here?" Fane had assumed it would take a while for him to resolve the Ten Absolutes trap array, even though he knew the method. He had mentally prepared himself that he would be stuck here for a month or two. Luckily, he had sufficient food and some spirited crystals in his storage space. He only had to persist and he would manage to find the location of the array eye.
Those were his thoughts before. Unexpectedly, he found the spot impressively fast!
"What did you guys find?” Jed hurried over to Fane's side and looked at the father-son duo in puzzlement. These two just looked peculiar to him, no matter what they said or did.
Fane lightly exhaled before he turned around to look at Jed and Dwight. "I've found a way to resolve this trap array!”
