Free Web NovelChapter 2064: Chapter 2064: Absolutely Brilliant!
Xi Youyou noticed everyone looking at her with a bit of peculiarity and felt she was being overly imaginative, so she laughed awkwardly:
"I was just speaking off the cuff."
The group chuckled knowingly, for they all quite adored Xi Youyou in the Tianhe Guild.
Just then, Su Chen casually remarked:
"Actually, I do know a thing or two about formations."
As soon as he spoke, everyone was astounded!
He... he really does know?!
But... wait, knows a thing or two?
So it’s just a superficial understanding?
That’s understandable, since he is so proficient in the other three arts; knowing a bit about formations is normal.
However, Mu Yunbai, sitting next to Su Chen, felt it wasn’t that simple because he had noticed Su Chen’s expression earlier, which seemed somewhat dismissive.
"Mr. Su, how much is that ’knows a thing or two’?"
Mu Yunbai asked.
"Probably not worse than yours."
Su Chen glanced at Mu Yunbai and replied.
This statement choked the members of the Tianhe Guild!
Not worse than the chairman?!
No matter if it’s true or not, saying it’s just knowing some while not worse than the chairman?
Where does that leave the chairman’s dignity?
Mu Yunbai, however, didn’t mind this and immediately asked:
"Is that true?"
"True, true, a man shouldn’t lie."
Su Chen said with a smile.
As soon as he spoke, the members of the Tianhe Guild felt awkward!
Especially the few female disciples in the guild, whose faces turned rose red!
This young Lord Su is indeed... unrestrained!
But it’s odd; if an ordinary man had made that statement, they would have called him a rogue.
Now that Su Chen has said it, not only do they not feel offended, they find it humorous and quite interesting!
Didn’t you see their blush coupled with a hint of coyness?
But Xi Youyou, upon hearing this, pouted in irritation:
"This guy is acting up again!"
She vividly remembers the flirtation from him on their way to headquarters last time!
Back then, it really annoyed her, not just mildly, it almost made her burst!
Over these few days, just as her view of him was changing slightly, this guy comes around again!
Actually, Xi Youyou hadn’t noticed that a sour feeling was now stewing in her heart!
Regarding these girls’ inner thoughts, others weren’t inclined to pay attention; they were more concerned about the truth of what Su Chen had just claimed.
Is Mr. Su truly proficient in all four arts?
Mu Yunbai handed a jade talisman to Su Chen and solemnly said:
"This is a unique communication jade talisman of Tianhe Guild. If need be later, I hope Mr. Su can offer a bit of guidance."
By rights, it would be a bit embarrassing for Mu Yunbai, the distinguished chairman of Tianhe Guild, to speak this way to a young man, but this Mr. Su is not just any young man!
Monster, devil, neither seem to fully describe him!
Above all, no matter whether it’s Mu Yunbai or other members of the Tianhe Guild, the most valued thing right now is whether they can attain the championship this time!
Besides, Su Chen is their own now, so why the fuss!
Su Chen nodded and then said:
"In terms of breaking formations, it can only be tackled on the spot, but for setting up formations, I do have some ideas."
"Oh, please instruct us further, Mr. Su."
Mu Yunbai took immediate interest.
Su Chen leaned toward Mu Yunbai and whispered a few lines, using a sound transmission technique to ensure only Mu Yunbai could hear.
The others noticed but weren’t fazed, since they knew the principle of not divulging secrets indiscriminately, especially at such a crucial time!
Mu Yunbai listened attentively, his eyes growing brighter with excitement evident!
After hearing, Mu Yunbai clapped his leg and said:
"Marvelous, truly marvelous!"
The rest, upon hearing this, looked at each other in disbelief. What on earth did Su Chen say to make the chairman so excited?
Given the triangular seating arrangement of the three guilds, observing one another was easy.
Members of each guild paid attention to the other guilds’ movements, so naturally, the Zijin Guild and Ju Hai Guild also noticed Su Chen and Mu Yunbai’s conversation.
Yao Lou and Luo Changhui felt a sudden chill in their hearts!
Could that young man also be proficient in formations?
While rationality told them it was impossible, based on the young man’s previous performance, a sense of unease had risen within them.
"The final match, the formation contest, please contestants come on stage."
The announcer Xin Lao declared on stage.
With this announcement, countless spectators became unprecedentedly excited.
Because they knew this final match would be the most thrilling, and according to past experience, the contestants would definitely be the presidents of the three major guilds!
This was the pinnacle showdown!
Most importantly, this time’s situation was different from previous years.
Previously, by this point, the outcome was nearly certain, at least Zijin Guild always had first place secured!
But this year is different due to the emergence of a young man who completely disrupted the established pattern.
Now, both Zijin Guild and Tianhe Guild are vying for the top spot in the overall ranking, whereas Ju Hai Guild is already confirmed as last.
A scenario no one expected before the contest started!
Though Tianhe Guild still has hope, most people actually believe this hope is slim!
After all, Zijin Guild’s advantage in formations is immense, far beyond the other two guilds to compete with!
Over tens of thousands of years, Zijin Guild occasionally lost first place in other branches, but never in formations!
At this moment, the three presidents of the guilds stepped onto the stage, each with a solemn expression!
The two presidents from Zijin Guild and Tianhe Guild needn’t be mentioned, as they must go all out for first place!
And Luo Changhui, president of Ju Hai Guild, couldn’t take it lightly either; while ranking hope is gone, he must fight for Ju Hai Guild’s honor!
If Ju Hai ranks at the bottom again this round, it would mean placing last in three out of four contests, and tying for second in one—a scenario tantamount to four times last!
How could he accept this? This is unprecedented shame for Ju Hai Guild!
After the three presidents took the stage, they each drew out a Red Mysterious Stone, engraved with incomparably intricate inscriptions that dazzled at first glance!
Mysterious Stones aren’t just used as universal currency and cultivation resources; they’re extremely suited for making Array Plates.
These Array Plates were obviously prepared in advance, otherwise, making them on-site would take who knows how long.
Currently, the three were nervously setting up formations on stage. The platform is extensive, over a thousand meters long and wide, so even with three people arranging formations, it wouldn’t greatly affect one another.
Though inscriptions were pre-engraved, it doesn’t mean setting up formations is easy.
