CHAPTER 837: CHAPTER 837: THIS TIME I ACCIDENTALLY OUTSMARTED MYSELF

Upon hearing this, both Pu Tiandi and Weng Yixiao were moved in their hearts. In fact, as soon as Ji Gaoxian used those two hand formations, they were already tempted. However, out of respect for Shen Moce, they had been reluctant to agree, so they couldn’t refuse Han Yan’s words.

Even Shen Moce’s eyes suddenly sparkled. What he said just now about not caring was just bravado. In truth, he was also very interested in this hand formation.

These people have devoted their lives to studying the Star Divination Technique, and now they have reached the pinnacle of their sect’s ultimate skill, finding it difficult to advance any further. However, the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique is clearly more profound and vast than their sect’s ultimate skill. If they had the opportunity to learn it, they would surely break through the bottleneck and take a significant leap forward. Not only would they benefit themselves, but their descendants would also greatly benefit.

Hearing Han Yan’s words, Huayue and the others looked surprised. Others might not know the wonders of the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique, but they did. Even a genuine old god-man like Qu Shanling, upon learning this hand formation, had transformed into a true Star Divination Master. Whether Han Yan won or lost, she was willing to teach it wholeheartedly. Wasn’t she at a disadvantage?

"What if I lose?" Despite being tempted, Shen Moce did not lose his composure and asked calmly.

"If you lose, in addition to the previous conditions, this Star Mechanism Plate will also belong to me," Han Yan said somewhat apprehensively.

If Shen Moce and the others didn’t care about this Star Mechanism Plate, it wouldn’t matter. But since they valued it so highly, it might be difficult for them to agree to this condition. Even knowing that there wasn’t much hope, Han Yan still had to try.

"Young Master, you might be at a disadvantage here. If you like it, we can quietly take it," Jiang Yuzhe finally understood Han Yan’s intentions. However, he didn’t see anything extraordinary about the Star Mechanism Plate and said indifferently. As it turned out, this guy wasn’t exactly a good person.

He kept his voice extremely low and had somewhat learned the art of gathering energy for sound transmission, so he wasn’t afraid of others overhearing.

Huayue and Zirong also looked at Han Yan with confusion, seemingly having the same idea.

"Taking advantage of others and stealing their possessions isn’t what a gentleman would do," Han Yan said righteously, using sound transmission.

The expressions on their faces became even more puzzled, as if they had never seen her like this before.

"Cough, cough. Besides, we’re not necessarily stronger than others," Han Yan said, a bit embarrassed by their looks, adding another sentence.

"Hmm, that should be the real reason," Huayue and the others nodded simultaneously, their eyes no longer showing any hint of doubt.

Han Yan felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. What did this mean? Did they really see her as so incompetent? Oh, Father, Mother, Grandfather, you’ve really put me in a difficult spot with this reputation. It’s a reputation that may never be cleansed...

"Master Shen, Master Weng, Master Pu, what do you think?" Han Yan asked, seeing them in a daze and not knowing what they were stunned about.

At the same time, Han Yan thought to herself that if they didn’t agree, she might really have to take it by force. Oh well, I’m not a gentleman anyway; I am a woman. Lady Mu found solace in this reasoning.

"Cough, cough, Young Master Mu, there’s something I haven’t told you. The several masters had long left a will that whoever could understand the mysteries of this Star Mechanism Plate would be worthy of this destiny, and the plate would be given to them. So, if you do have the ability, we cannot go against our masters’ wishes, whether you teach us the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique or not," Ji Gaoxian said with a few awkward coughs.

Han Yan opened her mouth, realizing that in all her calculations, it had always been her scheming others. Today, she inadvertently schemed herself.

"No worries, no worries. If they want to learn, I’ll teach them. Let’s get started," Star Illusion Thousand Machine urged, seemingly unconcerned.

"No problem. I also acquired that hand formation by chance. Since we’re of the same field, as long as you’re willing to learn, I won’t hold back," Han Yan said, knowing that even Star Illusion Thousand Machine didn’t care, she cared even less.

Seeing Han Yan so generous, Weng Yixiao and others felt a bit embarrassed. In the earlier contest, it could be said that both Shen Moce and Han Yan gained something. But after Han Yan’s words, not only did Shen Moce gain the upper hand, but they also benefited from it.

"So shall we begin?" Han Yan asked.

"I’ll go first. Young Master Mu, please watch carefully," seeing Han Yan so magnanimous, Shen Moce felt a bit ashamed and couldn’t continue to take advantage of her.

"Master Shen, please," Han Yan found that although this old man was arrogant, he had some courage, so she felt less disdainful for him.

No one is perfect; people should be more tolerant, win over others with virtue. Yes, with virtue. Lady Mu always considered herself broad-minded, feeling very pleased with herself.

Of course, this was just her self-perception. People like Yuan Tianbo, Fourth Miss Zhao, and now Mo Yanhong, Mu Chengyang, He Qingwei, would certainly not think so.

Shen Moce squinted his eyes, his expression extremely solemn, slowly casting hand formations. A series of light and shadow runes gradually enveloped the Star Mechanism Plate.

It was clear that Shen Moce, whether in terms of Qi or Divine Sense, had elevated them to the fullest extent. Every hand formation he cast seemed like he was moving a towering mountain.

After only casting a dozen or so hand formations, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

However, the Star Mechanism Plate showed no change.

Shen Moce did not stop, continuing to cast hand formations.

Having been with Qu Shanling for a time, Han Yan now had some understanding of the Star Divination Hand Formation. She saw that Shen Moce had used at least dozens of different sects’ techniques, interchanging them without a hitch. Clearly, he put in a lot of hard work to understand the mysteries of the Star Plate.

Unfortunately, the Star Mechanism Plate still showed no change.

Nevertheless, Han Yan appreciated Shen Moce’s Star Divination Technique. Mastering dozens of different sects’ hand formations and blending them seamlessly was not something an ordinary Star Divination Master could achieve. At least, Qu the God-man certainly couldn’t do it.

But this kind of usage clearly consumed a lot.

Gradually, the fine sweat on Shen Moce’s forehead turned into large beads, dripping down steadily, soaking his long robe, causing his hand casting the formations to start trembling.

Just when Han Yan thought he couldn’t hold on any longer, the Star Mechanism Plate suddenly flickered with a faint light, and on closer examination, about thirty to forty stars lit up.

Shen Moce staggered, nearly falling to the ground, and quickly stopped.

"Master Shen’s understanding has deepened, congratulations," Weng Yixiao and Pu Tiandi hurriedly came forward to support him, sincerely congratulating him.
