Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“What?!” Fu Yunzi stood up in shock and stared at Yan Changfeng, who was on the stage, pleasantly surprised. “In just two short years, he has already ascended to the Megrez Star Position. Even those sages of the Cloud Sect probably can’t reach that level, right?”

Master Tan Yun Of Cloud Sect had a proud look on his face. He was just short of writing the word ‘smug’ on his face.

The leaders of the various sects in the surrounding area were also shocked.

The various sects had some records of the Cloud Sect’s [Flying Cloud Meteor Sword].

This sword technique was divided into eight levels. The first seven levels corresponded to the Seven Star Position of the Big Dipper, and the eighth level was the Seven Stars Return to One.

And what the Megrez Star Position corresponded to was the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword’s fourth level.

“I didn’t expect that Yan Changfeng had already comprehended the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword to the fourth realm.” The Shenluo Hall Master was envious. “It’s not impossible to touch the legendary Seven Stars Return to One in the future.”

“In comparison, our little fellows are really lacking.” The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions.

“Among the younger generation, I’m afraid no one can be compared to Yan Changfeng.”

“Why don’t we have such luck? If the Scorching Sun Sect could produce such a disciple,” Huyan Lie sighed, “I would wake up laughing even in my dreams.”

Even though Dan Yang and Chi Yao did not say anything, they were extremely impressed by Yan Changfeng’s talent.

As for the duel between Cheng Xu and Yan Changfeng, the two of them did not have any hope at all.

To them, the fact that Cheng Xu had been able to reach this point had already given the Medicine Celestial Valley enough face.

After Fu Yunzi’s joy, he whispered something to Daoist Master Tan Yun which made him extremely excited.

As soon as the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword was used, Yan Changfeng was in the limelight.

No one dared to challenge him in the following matches. Even Huyan Zan and Xue Lingyu chose to admit defeat without hesitation after drawing Yan Changfeng, let alone the others.

As the competition progressed, the players had a clear understanding of their own strength.

When they drew an opponent that they couldn’t beat, they would basically choose to admit defeat and save more strength to deal with opponents that weren’t too far apart.

As a result, the pace of the subsequent matches became much faster.

As the biggest dark horse of this year’s Martial Arts Competition, Cheng Xu’s strength had already been unanimously recognized by the entire audience. Especially after defeating Huyan Zan, other than the four Heaven’s Favorites, the other contestants would choose to admit defeat when they drew him.

Therefore, in the following rounds of draw matches, Cheng Xu was idle. No one dared to fight him.

After a boring wait, it was finally the Medicine Celestial Valley’s turn to draw lots.

Cheng Xu leaped into the air and grabbed a ball of light. His eyes lit up.

At the same time, everyone’s gaze was focused on Xue Lingyu from the Mystic Arts Sect.

That’s right, the person Cheng Xu drew was Xue Lingyu.

“Haha, Fairy Xue wouldn’t admit defeat, right?”

Cheng Xu looked eagerly at Xue Lingyu, who was in the Mystic Arts Sect’s team.

“Of course not!” Xue Lingyu entered the stage amidst the cheers of her fellow disciples. Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of provocation. “That True Fire Magic Art of yours may be able to gain some advantage over Brother Huyan, but it won’t be able to gain any advantage over me.”

“Seeing Fairy Xue so confident, this one can rest assured.” Cheng Xu was satisfied. “Fairy, please use whatever moves you have. I’ll take it.”

Xue Lingyu snorted, and strings of dark golden talismans swirled around her.

The entire audience quieted down at the same time. The battle was about to start.

However, what everyone did not expect was…

Cheng Xu didn’t use any incantations or spells related to the Red and White Flames. Instead, he took out a set of Array Disks.

The crowd was stunned, especially the people from the Shenluo Hall.

“What’s going on? Array plate?”

“Is he going to use formation techniques to fight Xue Lingyu?”

“Are you kidding me? Even if Liu Qiao were to face Xue Lingyu, he would only be able to use formations as support, right?”

“The key is, does he know formations?”

“This… Brother Cheng is quite skilled in formations.” Yue Yang, who was in the Shenluo Hall team, said, “I’m afraid he’s even more powerful than our disciples.”

“Senior Brother Yue, are you serious?”

Facing the doubts of his fellow disciples, Yue Yang didn’t explain much. He stared straight at Cheng Xu on the stage.

Liu Qiao quickly recognized the Array disk in Cheng Xu’s hand. However, when he thought of Cheng Xu’s relationship with Jian Yuxiang, it wasn’t strange.

Although he knew that Cheng Xu knew a little about arrays, he was really not too sure about his exact level.

“Even though the dog tag Array Disk is strong, it’s still extremely difficult to use it well. Moreover, the opponent is Fairy Lingyu.” Liu Qiao analyzed thoughtfully.

During this period of time, he had spent a lot of effort to master the usage of the dog tag Array Disk in actual combat.

Now that the dog tag Array Disk had just been released, he believed that no one could surpass him in using the dog tag Array Disk.

However, the next second, Cheng Xu’s actions on the stage stunned him.

“What is it? Can the formation plate be used like this?”

On the battle stage, Xue Lingyu did not hold back at all. She started with high-level talisman techniques.

Talismans were condensed out of thin air by her, turning into dozens of poisonous stingers that emitted green smoke, surrounding Cheng Xu from all directions.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Cheng Xu held the Array Disk in his hand and, with an astonishing speed, propped up a Tier 2 Storm Array, easily blocking the attacks of dozens of poisonous stingers.

What was even more terrifying was that after Cheng Xu blocked the poisonous sting attack, he quickly adjusted the array needles on the Array Disk and actually set up a second-grade Profound Ice Array on the basis of the Storm Array.

The energy arrays of the two formations reflected each other on the Array Disk. They lived in harmony and did not interfere with each other.

At this scene, regardless of whether they understood Array Formations or not, they were all stunned.

In the spectating area, the Master of Shenluo Hall sat up in shock. He thought that he was hallucinating. “Building two sets of Array Formations on a single Array Disk at the same time, this… Flow is that possible?”

Liu Qiao had been able to cast so many arrays at the same time because he had used an array magic treasure and because of the special techniques of the Shenluo Hall, which allowed the array to be maintained for a period of time.

However, Cheng Xu was different. He had directly constructed two sets of arrays on the Array Disk, and they did not interfere with each other.

Even the people of the Shenluo Hall, who were good at arrays, had their eyes opened to such a miraculous operation.

“Eh? This little fellow is pretty good at Array Formations!” Even though Fu Yunzi was not very good at formations, he could see how miraculous Cheng Xu’s actions were.

“Could it be because of the Array Disk?” Daoist Master Tan Yun asked in surprise.

The Shenluo Hall Master pondered. “According to the special nature of the Array Disk, theoretically, it is indeed possible to activate the Storm Array and the Black Ice Array at the same time. However, it is only theoretically possible. Moreover, it requires the ability to multitask and the support of powerful Spiritual Power.”

“Does that mean it’s feasible?” Huyan Lie was deep in thought, and suddenly asked, “Can our Scorching Sun Sect’s Array Disk do this?”

“No.” The Shenluo Hall Master said without hesitation.

“There’s no theoretical possibility?”

“No, there isn’t.”

Hearing this, Huyan Lie felt awkward and helpless at the same time.

“But then again, Cheng Xu actually knows Array Formations.”

The Sect Leader of the Mystic Arts Sect looked at Dan Yang and Chi Yao meaningfully.

“I’ve seen him fiddle with formations before, but I didn’t expect his formation skills to reach such a level.” Daoist Master Chi Yao nodded with a dry smile.

“Do it yourself? Didn’t anyone teach him?” The Shenluo Hall Master asked in surprise.

“Not really.” Daoist Chi Yao shook his head.

The Shenluo Hall Master could not help but gasp.. “To be able to learn to this extent by self-study, how heaven-defying is this child’s talent in Array Formations?”
