The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 3700

He thought that they would have been thrown out like trash just like those before them. Not a single one of them could accept that.

The three of them were silent for a long time before Lourain said, "I was so scared. I thought we would lose. I even started to feel like this stage was just to confuse us, that there is no way to pass at all!"

Fane had thought so as well at one point. The same weapons, the same techniques, and the same person. It was the most equal of opponents. In that situation, they did not know how to pass at all.

Marth coughed and said, "I guess I was overthinking. We thought the fake clone used everything we knew, but that was not the case. We just needed to use our strongest technique…"

Lourain nodded. When they were at their wit's end, they had managed to find a new lease on life. Fane shook his head, disagreeing with Marth, "It's not like that. If all of us had used all our power during the wood attribute killing array, then this stage would be completely impossible to pass!"

When Fane said that, the two of them looked at Fane in confusion, clearly not understanding. Fane took a deep breath before he continued, "Lourain, you practically used all your strength during the wood-killing array. I think you never used your strongest technique because you haven't mastered it fully."

Fane had been looking when Lourain used the sixth stance. He could clearly feel that the energy in the strike was not too stable. There seemed to be many imperfections. It was obvious that Lourain was just barely able to use it.

Lourain nodded, admitting to it. Fane continued, "So, you could have failed to use it. Then, the sixth stance is not really your strongest attack. The clone did not know it not because it's your strongest attack, but because you've never used it.

"No matter how amazing the Seven Deaths Array is, there's no way it can just enter our minds and look through our memories. It would be too absurd if it could. I don't think it can at all. It managed to replicate our techniques because we used them before. I doubt it can replicate anything we never used before. That's the way to get past the water-killing array."

The two of them finally understood it after Fane's explanation. So that was the case! In truth, only that would explain everything upon closer thought. Earlier, they had just been too shocked by the array to think about it.

Fane was right. No matter how amazing the Seven Deaths Array was, there was no way it could peer into their minds to extract their knowledge. Even if it could replicate their techniques, it could only replicate those they had used before.

Thinking about that, the two of them could not help but sigh. The challenges were getting harder and harder. Thankfully, Fane had held back before this. Otherwise, they would not have been able to pass.

Lourain pursed his lips and said, "This is just too hard. It's just the third array. There are still four after this. I wonder how hard the later ones will be."

Fane did not answer that question. Fane merely sat down and started to rest. He had spent quite a lot of his strength in that big battle. Things would only get harder, so he needed to make sure he was in the best state to deal with the later challenges.
