When the three of them formed an array, Lu Ye's squad's offensive was already extremely sharp. Now, with five forming an array, they became even more formidable.

On the other hand, the targeted enemies, after losing a member in the Late Stage of Constellation, appeared somewhat vulnerable. The specter's occasional appearances posed a tremendous threat, causing them to be increasingly cautious.

In just a brief exchange, this moderately formidable team was completely defeated, with members either injured or dead, retreating in disarray.

Lu Ye halted his swift movements and commanded, "Recover!"

Having fought their way here, both he and Little Dumb and Little Crooked had consumed a great deal of energy. Although they could assist each other with the array disc, the consumed power was still expended.

This entire battlefield was filled with extremely pure stellar space energy, providing significant aid to the cultivators' recovery.

Upon receiving the order, Little Dumb and Little Crooked quickly calmed their minds, utilized the Black rank skill, inhaling and exhaling the surrounding stellar space energy, while each popped an elixir pill into their mouths.

Lu Ye turned his head to look at the sword cultivator sisters.

The two sisters saluted graciously, the one on the left spoke, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your help. Cai Yue greets Fellow Daoist."

The one on the right followed with, "Cai Xing greets Fellow Daoist."

Previously, their sole companion was eliminated by the specter. If Lu Ye's squad hadn't intervened, they would have certainly met the same fate. Thanks to Lu Ye's squad's intervention, who kindly accepted them into their array, they were able to survive and even had the chance to exact revenge.

They could sense that these three in front truly intended to help them. Otherwise, it would not have been just the original enemies assaulting them; these three had the capability to take them out just as easily.

This was why the sisters joined the opposing array without hesitation.

Lu Ye nodded slightly, "I am Fa Wuzun."

The sisters were both inwardly startled; they had naturally heard of Fa Wuzun's renowned name but had only admired it on the Cumulated Points Ranking. They hadn't expected to meet him in person today.

Lu Ye then introduced them to Little Dumb and Little Crooked.

Little Dumb, who had been meditating with eyes closed, opened her eyes, wanting to clarify but decided against it after some thought...

During this mutual introduction, a huge uproar was already unfolding within the Constellation Palace.

Initially, many spectating cultivators thought Lu Ye's squad's impressive performance indicated that they knew each other beforehand; otherwise, they couldn't have formed an array. The audience only marveled at Fa Wuzun's individual strength and the trio's good fortune since having three well-acquainted people meet on such a battlefield is rare.

Yet, even in such cases, it wouldn't work without a sufficiently strong leader to guide the array.

However, as the previous scene unfolded where Lu Ye's squad casually accepted the sword cultivator sisters, the observing cultivators immediately noticed something extraordinary.

If Fa Wuzun's three-member squad indeed knew each other previously, they certainly didn't know these two sword cultivators, as evidenced by their current interactions.

They were getting to know each other!

How could people who don't know each other form an array together? And seemingly do so smoothly and naturally, without any delay?

Soon, the sharp-minded focused their attention on the array disc held by Little Dumb! During the combat, this girl had been holding the array disc over her head the whole time, which appeared a bit silly. People were puzzled why she did it.

Only now did they realize this array disc might be the key to forming the array!

If so, then this array disc must have the ability to allow strangers to easily form an array.

This array disc... is a treasure!

For a while, many cultivators began transmitting messages outside. Jiu Yan from Cheling World had never seen the array disc but sensed its immense potential just from Chu Shen's description. How could the currently observing cultivators not detect it?

Especially among these cultivators, there were many shrewd people from prominent commerce affiliations, specializing in trading and dealing.

They were well-versed in various treasures, experienced, and all realized one thing at this moment: if they could understand the secret of this array disc and produce it in large quantities, the improvement it could bring to cultivators' combat power would be terrifying.

Inside Hall No. 935, Chu Shen's expression was extremely grave.

The situation was dire, extremely dire!

He couldn't understand why Fa Wuzun would display the array disc in this manner. From his experience with Fa Wuzun, he definitely knew the array disc could exert its power without being so blatantly shown, yet the girl forcefully recruited by Fa Wuzun was doing just that — as instructed by Fa Wuzun.

What was the purpose of this?

Could it be that the bigshot wasn't willing to fulfill the previous agreement? Trying to leverage this opportunity to make the array disc famous under public scrutiny, then monopolize it? But how would this benefit him?

Unable to figure it out for the moment, Chu Shen's initial plan was to wait for Fa Wuzun to hand over the array disc, then negotiate with his old mother using it — a plan likely to succeed. But the current development made him feel uneasy.

Though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what the issue was, being young and inexperienced, he had no idea of Lu Ye's intricate plans.

He could only wait and watch.

As the observations continued, Fa Wuzun's side was almost finished resting and was now forming an array.

Three people could form the simplest Three Talents Array, but with five people, the Three Talents Array was no longer suitable, suggesting the need to switch to another type of array.

The five of them formed the Black Tortoise Array, which is quite prevalent in the stellar space!

At this moment, the five each took their positions, and with the activation of their spirit force, their energy connected. In an instant, a lifelike giant turtle appeared out of thin air!

The giant turtle was purely condensed from spirit force. It couldn't be said to be exactly the same as the real Black Tortoise, but it was somewhat similar.

Lu Ye took the turtle's head position, while the four women occupied the limbs. To ensure the formation's attack power, Cai Yue and Cai Xing, the sisters, took the front limbs, while Little Dumb and Little Crooked took the rear limbs.

They were just missing a tail.

Theoretically, the formation would be best with six people, as the sixth person could occupy the tail position, further strengthening the formation.

But at this moment, finding another person wasn't so simple. The specter was wandering nearby, but whether Lu Ye could trust her was a question and her personality probably wasn't suited for joint efforts.

Her favorite thing was to follow the strong and pick up leftovers... no risk, yet a lot to gain.

Lu Ye chose the Black Tortoise Array after careful consideration.

Among the five-person squad, he had the highest cultivation, and the other four were all at Constellation Early Stage. Even if his strong personal power could guarantee the formation's offensive capability, the defense was somewhat lacking.

If during combat he didn't pay enough attention, his side could suffer casualties. While charging forward before, he constantly kept an eye on Little Dumb and Little Crooked to avoid dangers they couldn't handle and helped them out several times.

If Chu Shen were here, it would be fine. This guy has plenty of defensive means, which could make up for that shortcoming.

Unfortunately, Chu Shen was eliminated early.

According to Lu Ye's observation, Little Dumb is likely a magic cultivator, Little Crooked a ghost cultivator, and the Star Moon Sisters are sword cultivators, none known for their defense.

Thus, they had to choose a formation that could provide the team with defensive capabilities to alleviate some concerns during the charge.

With everything ready, Lu Ye wielded his long sword and led his four temporary comrades into the fight.

In an instant, a giant turtle rampaged across the stellar space battle zone!

Wherever a fight was fierce, they headed there, truly invincible!

When three of them previously formed an array, they could be considered unstoppable, but each time they encountered an enemy, Lu Ye had to divide his attention to care for Little Dumb and Little Crooked.

Now, he didn't need to worry about that; he focused solely on his long sword, with no need to worry about defense.

In attack, the Star Moon Sisters often aided him. Just as they reached the enemy, two sword streams swept ahead with movements of the turtle's front limbs.

While the enemies were in disarray, the turtle charged, and Lu Ye only needed to swing his sword wildly!

He once again felt the exhilarating freedom he had experienced teaming up with Chu Shen, realizing how crucial it is to choose the right partners for collaboration.

Exclamations echoed from all the Constellation Palaces, as the turtle looked like an ancient ferocious beast just freed from captivity, devouring cultivators wherever it went!

After several dashes back and forth, few enemies remained, and seeing the ferociousness of the turtle, none dared hesitate any longer, all turning and fleeing.

Lu Ye led the Black Tortoise Array straight towards the purple talisman.

Earlier, when he first passed this location, he had tried to approach it, only to be met with attacks from all sides and was forced to retreat.

Now, no one intercepted him.

However, there was an additional figure already attempting to retrieve the purple talisman.

Who else but the elusive specter?

Yet, treasures appearing in the site of the Melee Battle Meet couldn't be easily taken. Each one, upon appearing, was shrouded in an invisible restriction. Without breaking it, one couldn't hope to claim the treasure.

The specter was currently breaking the restriction!

Seeing Lu Ye approaching with fierce momentum, the specter panicked and sent an audio transmission: "I just helped you!"

"I paid with spirit jade!" Lu Ye raised his blood-colored long sword without slowing.

The specter was anxious: "Let me take it, I beg you!"

"Wishful thinking!"

"Otherwise, I'll tell you about those two new companions; you are the one who had me eliminate their physique cultivator comrade."

This was a purple talisman, likely from the Dwarf Race, and to the perpetually impoverished specter, it represented spirit jade.

What she got in return was a blood-colored saber light, cutting through the Void.

Fuming, the specter vanished at the last moment before the saber light struck, leaving only a parting message in Lu Ye's ear: "You ungrateful bastard, you'd better grow two eyes in the back of your head!"

She loathed those who competed with her for treasures!
