Chapter 5995

On the outskirts of the small courtyard, there was indeed an independent warning formation—and it was far more sophisticated than the outer barriers.

This formation was linked to several key nodes within the courtyard. Once triggered, it wouldn’t just issue a warning; it could launch counterattacks or directly trap an intruder.

Chen Ping held his breath, focusing on the inconspicuous rune imprints etched into the ground near the entrance and along the walls.

It was a composite Earthbound Spirit Net Array, integrating detection, restraint, and ground-thorn attacks. The core of the formation lay buried underground at the center of the courtyard.

Forcing his way in or dismantling it violently would inevitably alert the people inside—and might even alarm the entire dormitory complex.

Once again, Chen Ping revealed his astonishing mastery of formations.

He raised his right index finger. A speck of chaotic gray light condensed at the tip—so subtle it was almost invisible.
