Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1154

Baxter eyed Shannon, and a flicker of admiration flashed through his eyes. "Let's hear it."

Both Team Jamborough and the students watching from the audience turned their heads toward Shannon. They couldn't believe she'd have a solution.

Shannon began to slowly say, "You could use an evil-gathering array."

Though the two evil spirits had scattered to the point of near destruction, not much time had passed, and it was possible to extract traces of their residual ghastly energy through an evil-gathering array.

The moment she said so, Rowan said, "How can that work?

"An evil-gathering array is tough to set up, and even if we succeed and gather malevolent energy out of it, it's impossible to identify which portion of it belongs to the evil spirits. That's dangerous and lacks feasibility."

Though Rowan refuted Shannon's suggestion, his tone lacked disdain or reprimand. Instead, his argument was grounded entirely in the technicalities of mystic arts.

Shannon was clearly more patient toward Rowan. She replied, "Of course, the evil-gathering array alone won't work. You also need soul refinement."

She explained further, "While the two evil spirits may be gone, the ghost bottles that once contained them remain. The condensed ghastly energy should be sufficient to proceed with the investigation by refining the ghost bottles and combining them with the evil-gathering array."

Whatever existed would always leave traces. Both ghost bottles and the surrounding malevolent energy followed the principle.

Hearing her explanation, Rowan looked momentarily stunned before he started contemplating the feasibility of her solution.

The students in the audience hadn't expected such a combination either. Those majoring in this field began discussing it with their peers, and some asked Shannon about the risks and how to mitigate them.

Shannon answered each question in turn since Baxter didn't stop them either.

The second match was suddenly turned into a discussion site. Even the judges began whispering among themselves.

They'd suggested the second option because a solution did exist, but though the official solution was similar to Shannon's, it was far more complex in realization.
