Chapter 193 Is this person me? (Seeking monthly pass)
Zhongzhou Territory.
Near the massive island, even though it was daytime, the Taiyin Star appeared, turning the entire sky around the island into night.
Atop the central pavilion of the island.
Several representatives of the Hidden Sects stared out at the sky and the message from the beads indicating 'battle over,' all falling silent.
They were all greatly shocked.
To channel the power of heaven and earth to form an array in an instant...
Is this the correct way to utilize an Array Master?
Or is it an ancient inheritance of the Hidden Sect of the East State?
That's impossible.
Formations recorded from Ancient Times were much more difficult to set up than those of today.
It is said that those ancient formations often required tens of thousands of powerful cultivators working together...
Nothing like this Disciple of the Hidden Sect of East State, whose gestures summoned countless formations.
A few representatives from the Hidden Sects of Zhongzhou seemed to be in a trance.
After a long while, they finally came back to their senses.
They exchanged looks and began communicating telepathically.
"Can any of you see through the formation techniques of this disciple from the Wayless Sect? If you can, tell me! I'll pay a fortune for this method!! I have the authority to promise, if you can provide this technique, our sect owes you a favor!!"
"See through what; this guy named Zhang Han just flings his hands and bam—formations everywhere. What's there to see?"
"I saw that this guy has turned the art of formation into pure magic."
"Right, Old Chen, you also practiced a cultivation technique for borrowing the power of the stars, didn't you? How do you compare with him?"
The group continued their telepathic conversation.
Somebody suddenly remembered how Zhang Han summoned the Taiyin Star with just a shout and turned to look at one of the representatives who also practiced drawing on the power of stars.
Upon hearing this, the face of that representative from the Hidden Sect showed an expression of embarrassment.
He didn't know what to say.
How could he possibly tell the truth, that his own method of borrowing star power involved setting up an altar, begging and pleading with a lengthy spiel, then offering incense and bowing his head before he might receive a little energy from one or two minor stars.
Yet, with just a shout, the Disciple of the Hidden Sect of East State summoned the Taiyin Star itself.
How could the two even compare?
"I... um, this person's art of borrowing power is impeccable; I'm just a tiny bit behind him," the representative from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sect boldly stated.
Just a bit behind??
The others didn't believe it, and they wanted to say more.
Suddenly, someone spoke up.
"Look at Senior Chu, so calm and composed. Could this formation technique be one he taught?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze focused on Chu Yuan.
When they looked at him, they noticed.
Chu Yuan's expression was as serene as ever, as if everything was within his expectations.
Could it be that such a technique was indeed taught by Senior Chu?!
A thought suddenly surfaced in their minds.
Could it be true what Senior Chu mentioned that day, that the Wayless Sect's way of teaching was letting disciples comprehend the Daoist arts by themselves?!
As this thought struck them, they couldn't help but tremble at the prospect.
Your next read is at empire
Elsewhere.
Chu Yuan had no intention of paying mind to those around him who were letting their imaginations run wild.
His thoughts were fully occupied by the scene of that second senior gesturing to unleash countless arrays.
Was his second senior really so strong?
Deeply shocked, Chu Yuan instinctively maintained his casual demeanor, not dwelling too much on it.
All he was thinking about now was whether there was a chance to learn this method of arranging formations.
But thinking about Zhang Han's temperament,
Chu Yuan figured he better not.
He could very well imagine Zhang Han's likely response: a dismissive "Isn't it just about having hands?"
Coming to this conclusion, Chu Yuan finally snapped back to reality.
Forget it, if he couldn't learn from the second senior, he could learn from Ye Luo.
Ye Luo was also quite strong.
He wouldn't be at a loss.
Secretly nodding to himself, Chu Yuan refocused his eyes and looked up.
He immediately noticed that the several representatives of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sect were all staring at him.
For a moment, all eyes locked on each other.
Silence ensued.
"Do you have something to say?"
Chu Yuan's brow furrowed slightly as he asked indifferently.
"No, no, nothing at all!"
Several representatives hastily shook their heads, fearing they might displease Chu Yuan.
"How much longer until the next round begins?"
Chu Yuan inquired.
The next round should feature Su Qianyuan's match.
Hearing that the disciple facing Su Qianyuan was strong, he had wagered quite a few Spirit Stones, betting on Su Qianyuan's loss.
The moment to take a risk had arrived.
"Senior Chu, there is still half an hour before the next round starts,"
someone who knew the schedule spoke up.
"Hmm."
Chu Yuan nodded, not saying much else, and quietly took a seat to meditate.
The few on the third floor grew restless after learning of the ways Formation could be used in such a manner.
They hadn't seen Ye Luo's fight clearly since it was over with a single move, so they didn't think much of it.
But now, they had seen Zhang Han's fight in its entirety.
Summoning the power of heaven and earth, he formed an instant Formation.
No need for Formation materials or time, his strength was infuriatingly impressive.
They very much wanted to ask this Senior Chu about how to achieve such a Formation technique.
But they felt too embarrassed to speak up.
Which made them even more restless.
"Don't worry, just wait; another disciple from the Hidden Sect of Dongzhou is about to begin their match,"
someone suddenly sent a telepathic message, saying so.
The others immediately understood.
The first disciple from the Hidden Sect of Dongzhou used a sword and defeated his opponent with an effortless stroke.
The second wielded Formations with such absurd flair, casting countless Formations at a flick of the wrist.
As for this third disciple, they wondered what he would be like.
Curiosity rose in several hearts.
While everyone was feeling curious,
Chu Yuan suddenly spoke up.
"What do you all know about this Ma Lian?"
Chu Yuan looked towards them, asking.
Upon hearing this,
they exchanged glances.
Most of them didn't really pay attention to these Holy Land disciples.
After all, to them from the Hidden Sect, a single Holy Land was still too green, with far too shallow foundations.
They were too indifferent to care.
However, one of them had incidentally looked into the Holy Land participants of this grand tournament, and upon hearing Chu Yuan's inquiry, his eyes brightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Senior, I know a bit. This Ma Lian is from Hunyuan Gate, a youngster whose reputation has been on the rise. It is said that his mastery of the lightning arts is extremely powerful, considered the foremost among the younger generation. He excels most in wielding a whip."
"But against your disciple, Senior, he stands no chance of winning,"
he said as such.
Upon hearing this,
Chu Yuan felt relieved.
The foremost lightning practitioner of the younger generation?
With such an impressive title, beating someone like Su Qianyuan should be a piece of cake.
"Senior, regarding the second round's match involving your disciple, there's a rather amusing rumor. Would you care to hear it?"
A person stepped forward, saying with a laugh.
"What is it?"
Chu Yuan asked with curiosity.
"You know how the Cultivators Alliance has been handling the betting for the grand tournament? Some idiot actually wagered that your third disciple would lose, and they put down several thousand top-grade Spirit Stones on it. Isn't that hilarious? Hahaha."
The man said, laughing heartily.
Chu Yuan: "..."
If things are as I suspect, that person would be me, right??
