Free Web NovelChapter 2067: Chapter 2067: A Formation That’s Not a Formation!
In the end, the Tianhe Guild got their long-coveted first place, something they hadn’t tasted in who-knows-how-many years!
As for the Zijin Guild, although they took second place, which looked acceptable on the surface, to them this was undoubtedly a huge failure!
As for the Ju Hai Guild, they’d long since secured the last place, so naturally they had no light left on their faces!
You could say that, aside from the Tianhe Guild, the other two guilds both suffered an unprecedented defeat!
Everyone understood that all of this was because of that young man named Su Chen.
You could say he alone changed the balance between the three major guilds!
"President Mu, I’d like to ask, just what Formation is this of yours, and how do you break it?"
At this moment, Yao Lou spoke.
To be honest, for him to say this was already a bit of lowering his dignity, since it carried a hint of asking for instruction.
But he simply couldn’t figure out what kind of Formation this was; if he didn’t get a clear answer, it would always stick in his chest!
Not just him—Luo Changhui was also full of curiosity. Although he likewise hadn’t cracked the Formation Yao Lou set up, at least he could understand that one.
But the Formation Mu Yunbai laid down had left him completely in the dark; he couldn’t grasp even the slightest clue!
"President Yao really wants to know?"
Mu Yunbai smiled mysteriously.
Yao Lou nodded.
"Please enlighten me!"
"I can’t talk about enlightening, because this Formation was something I threw together at random. There’s nothing profound about it at all!"
Hearing this, the entire crowd erupted!
Thrown together at random?!
How is that possible?!
This was the final match that decided the overall ranking, and on top of that, it was the first time the Tianhe Guild had a chance to seize the title!
With something this important, this critical, how could Mu Yunbai casually arrange a Formation that had no structure whatsoever?
Yao Lou and Luo Changhui were completely stunned when they heard this, as if a bolt of Thunderclap had smashed through their minds!
"You’re saying that if we had just walked straight into this Formation, nothing would have happened."
Luo Changhui muttered:
"It wasn’t even a Formation?"
"You could put it that way."
Mu Yunbai nodded with a smile.
Hearing such a definite answer, everyone was about to go crazy!
Let alone others—even the people of the Tianhe Guild all sucked in a breath of cold air!
Their president had gone way too bold with this!
But some sharp people soon figured out the key: it was precisely because this moment was so crucial and so important that no one would ever imagine Mu Yunbai would casually arrange a non-Formation Formation.
So, not a single person would dare think that way!
Since it was thrown together at random, even Mu Yunbai himself had no pattern to follow, so how could anyone else possibly understand it?
And if they couldn’t understand it, who would dare walk in?
Because the path of Formations is extremely mysterious, and many Formations are full of lethal power!
On the other hand, the more they couldn’t understand it, the more fear they felt in their hearts!
The logic was simple, but to think of it and actually use it required an extraordinary mind and courage!
Yao Lou and Luo Changhui were certainly not stupid. After a brief moment of shock, they quickly figured it out as well!
Most likely, when Mu Yunbai had slapped his thigh and exclaimed in admiration back then, that too had been deliberate, meant to mislead them!
However, their gazes involuntarily shifted toward Su Chen in the audience. They more or less understood that this was that young man’s idea!
This young man was terrifying. Be it his mastery over Inscriptions or his grasp of human nature, both could be called demonic!
Where on earth did the Tianhe Guild find such a young man?!
Compared to him, even Jun Heng seemed ordinary!
"President Mu, I’m impressed. Today’s match—I concede wholeheartedly!"
A thick, sinister gleam flashed through Yao Lou’s eyes as he spoke. He deliberately bit down hard on the words "concede wholeheartedly."
"You let us win, you let us win!"
At this moment Mu Yunbai appeared calm and unruffled; being too arrogant at a time like this would clearly be inappropriate.
This victory in the match meant a great deal to the Tianhe Guild. First were the generous rewards; whenever the three guilds competed, there were stakes involved, and this time they were no small matter.
Second was discourse power—something Mu Yunbai valued highly. The three guilds sometimes had to discuss important matters, and having a say was extremely important.
Lastly, it was supreme honor—and that was just as crucial!
Right now, Su Chen in the crowd had undoubtedly become the greatest contributor. Deep down, everyone was filled with respect and gratitude toward him!
Many people praised Elder Xi’s discerning eye; it was he who insisted on inviting Su Chen to represent their Tianhe Guild in the competition!
But all this praise made Elder Xi a little embarrassed; he himself felt as if he were dreaming.
In fact, when he’d invited Su Chen back then, he’d only hoped they wouldn’t lose too miserably this year; he had never imagined such a result!
Who would dare imagine it!
The match ended, and the crowd gradually dispersed!
But in their eyes, this trip had been more than worth it!
Because compared to previous years, this competition was far more exciting, especially in terms of suspense—it twisted and turned, remaining to the very end, leaving them utterly thrilled!
Of course, what left the deepest impression on them this time was still that young man!
One could well imagine that in the future, this young man would definitely shine brilliantly in the Cangxuan Territory!
On this point, almost everyone had no doubts!
"Su Chen, you need to be more careful. I’m afraid some people have already set their sights on you."
Mu Yunbai watched the receding backs of the people from the other two guilds as he spoke.
He’d been able to become president because he was sensitive to certain things.
Su Chen nodded when he heard this, but he didn’t take it too much to heart.
That night, the people of the Tianhe Guild naturally celebrated wildly, each one drinking to their heart’s content.
If they didn’t let loose now, then when would they?
"Su Chen, I won’t say any words of thanks—they’re too light!"
At this moment, Mu Yunbai raised his cup to Su Chen:
"I’ll down this one!"
With that, he drained it in one gulp. Su Chen smiled and accompanied him with a cup as well.
"Su Chen, before I..."
Then Xi Youyou also walked over to Su Chen with a cup in hand, but she suddenly got so nervous she didn’t know what to say:
"Anyway, just treat this drink as my apology."
Xi Youyou’s slightly slurred words drew a burst of laughter from everyone, and her face flushed bright red in an instant.
With Xi Youyou apologizing like this, Su Chen also felt a bit embarrassed; after all, he had been the one teasing her before.
"Then I’ll drink one too."
Su Chen smiled and then drank as well.
That night, naturally everyone came to toast Su Chen; some even toasted him several times, and Su Chen didn’t refuse anyone.
In the end, he himself didn’t know how many cups he’d had in total.
That night, the stock in that tavern was almost wiped out by them!
It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that everyone staggered back to the inn...
