Free Web NovelChapter 2063: Chapter 2063: Do You Even Understand Formation?
This idea truly startled the two of them!
It’s completely impossible!
But how should we explain the current situation?!
Of course, Mu Yunbai could also foresee it would attract the attention of the other two major guilds, but at this moment, he couldn’t care less!
After Su Chen’s transmission, he immediately relayed a message to Elder Guan.
On the stage, Elder Guan was now full of confidence, after all, from having no hope to now having greatly increased prospects!
The effects of the two inscriptions just displayed far exceeded his expectations, even if they were effective, he never imagined the results would be so obvious!
However, this caused Elder Yue of the Juhai Guild beside him to be flustered!
His heart grew extremely tense; now their Juhai Guild had been last for two rounds, this round couldn’t afford to lose again!
It wouldn’t just be losing, but losing too disgracefully!
The fortunate thing is, he’s about to complete the taming of the Long-tongued Frog!
Then, he gathered all his focus and once again traced out an inscription, pressing it directly onto the Long-tongued Frog!
Yet almost simultaneously, Elder Guan also struck out with the newly carved inscription!
"Croak croak~~"
"Woo woo~~"
Correspondingly, those two demon beasts completely slumped down, lying in the cage, docile like a pet!
In other words, Juhai Guild and Tianhe Guild almost simultaneously completed the taming of the demon beasts!
Elder Yue from the Juhai Guild completing so quickly was reasonable and inevitable.
But what happened with Elder Guan of Tianhe Guild?
Just now, it was clear on the verge of losing control, and suddenly it appeared as though everything turned around!
Many people observed that the key lay in the last three inscriptions, which were pivotal in reversing the situation!
They just didn’t know how Elder Guan, who was barely managing, suddenly seemed to have divine assistance!
However, some individuals from the two major guilds already noticed, this was definitely related to the young man!
Unexpectedly, his attainment in taming demon beasts was so considerable; simply offering some guidance led to such an effect!
They dared not imagine, if the young man himself were to take the field, how the outcome would be!
Just where did this young talent arise from?!
Jun Heng watched Su Chen from not far away, his emotions incredibly complex!
Though he didn’t want to admit it, he could feel the other’s expertise in the path of inscriptions was above his own, even far surpassing it!
Finally, Elder Xin, in shock, announced the results, first place undoubtedly went to the Zijin Guild, as for Juhai Guild and Tianhe Guild, this round ended in a tie, both in second place!
Yet the discerning knew, it should be Tianhe Guild that was truly second, as the taming difficulty of the Giant Leopard was notably greater than the Long-tongued Frog!
However, the standard for evaluating beast taming only categorizes by demon beast level, regardless of actual difficulty, as considering practical difficulty would increase operational complexity significantly!
Thus for the competition, it remains more convenient to have objective and direct criteria!
Based on this, Elder Guan didn’t say much; he was already satisfied with this result, enthusiastically stepping off the stage.
He approached Mu Yunbai, respectfully stating:
"President, I didn’t expect you to have such insight and skill in taming beasts, I am full of admiration!"
Mu Yunbai smiled and replied:
"You don’t need to thank me, I merely conveyed Mr. Su’s words to you verbatim."
"Mr. Su?!"
Elder Guan was suddenly bewildered; at that critical moment, he was fully concentrated on the stage, paying no attention to what was happening below.
Yet isn’t Mr. Su proficient only in alchemy and artifact refining?
How is his attainment in beast taming also so terrifying?
As a practitioner, he was most sensitive to the profoundness of those last three inscriptions!
"Indeed."
Mu Yunbai nodded as many had already guessed the involvement of Su Chen, so he had no reason to conceal it!
Upon hearing this, Elder Guan immediately bowed to Su Chen:
"Mr. Su’s assistance was invaluable!"
"Elder Guan overpraises." Su Chen chuckled:
"Unfortunately, it’s just a tie."
Actually, the key was Elder Guan’s ability to comprehend the inscriptions; if Su Chen had done it himself, the time could have been greatly shortened!
"Haha, Mr. Su, you are too demanding!"
Mu Yunbai laughed heartily, stating:
"Under such unfavorable circumstances, to have this outcome is already quite perfect!"
Others nodded in agreement, even if Mr. Su had spoken up earlier, the situation would have been vastly different.
Still, no one blamed Su Chen, otherwise that would be truly ungrateful!
However, at this moment, Xi Youyou looked at Su Chen with noticeable admiration!
That gaze was rather like that of a little fangirl!
"President, the final round..."
At this point, Elder Xi suddenly glanced at Mu Yunbai, hesitantly speaking.
Upon hearing this, others also looked over, full of anticipation yet with a touch of worry!
No doubt, everyone in Tianhe Guild was already contemplating whether they could claim first place!
If at this point there weren’t such thoughts, it would be quite mediocre!
However, the final round would involve competing in formations; formation, in a way, represents the highest expression of the path of inscriptions, requiring greater difficulty compared to the others!
Given the stature of formations, each guild president must be skilled in formations.
Just like Jun Heng, if he intends to succeed Yao Lou in the future, he must achieve certain accomplishments in formations!
Right now, he has some understanding in formations, but mastery is still far from reach!
Yet for him, time is still on his side!
Speaking of the sub-branch of formations, Zijin Guild possesses the greatest advantage, an edge even stronger than the previous beast-taming!
This is why, despite setbacks in the previous two rounds, Zijin Guild is still confident in claiming first place!
Thus Mu Yunbai could only say:
"We can only do our best!"
Though he had the desire, he wasn’t blind to reality.
The others in Tianhe Guild understood this, nodding in agreement.
"By the way, President Mu, how will the formation competition be conducted?"
Su Chen casually inquired.
"The formation competition differs somewhat from the others; it involves both formation arrangement and formation breaking."
Mu Yunbai explained upon hearing this:
"Every participant must set up a formation, striving to prevent others from breaking it, while trying to break other formations."
After listening to this, Su Chen nodded:
"The rules are straightforward and fair."
"Su Chen, do you understand formations?"
At this moment, Xi Youyou suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, then looked at Xi Youyou in peculiar ways!
What kind of person do you take Mr. Su for?
His proficiency in the three branches of the path of inscriptions is already beyond what they dare to imagine!
But look at this girl Xi Youyou, she’s even asking him about his formation skills?!
Could it be that she thinks he could master all four sub-branches?!
In the history of Cangxuan Territory’s millions of years, such a being has never existed!
