Chapter 125 The Secret of the Ancient Book

As soon as Mu Chen returned to the villa, Ye Shi rushed towards him excitedly.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi's red face and asked, "What's wrong? Did something good happen to you?"

Ye Shi smiled excitedly and said proudly, "That book is indeed a treasure."

Having spent three million yuan to buy it, Ye Shi had always worried that he would suffer a loss. However, the book did not disappoint him. After sucking his blood, it became much more powerful and majestic.

Mu Chen asked in confusion: "Treasure?"

Ye Shi took out the book from the space ring, bit his finger and dripped blood on the pages. Soon, the ordinary book emitted a golden light and turned into a golden ancient book. The words inside also became normal.

Ye Shi said to Mu Chen with bright eyes, "This guy sucks blood, but each time he sucks blood, it can only last for an hour."

He discovered this when he accidentally injured himself during the competition and blood fell on the pages when he took the book.

Mu Chen flipped open the book and took a look, a hint of deep thought flashing across his eyes.

"Have you read this book?" Mu Chen raised his head and asked.

"Yeah! But I don't quite understand it." Ye Shi smiled at Muchen a little embarrassedly. Compared to the extremely talented Muchen, he was really stupid. Ye Shi bit his lip a little uneasily. Could he be worthy of Muchen like this?

"This is a book of formation spells, and it looks very unusual." Mu Chen opened the book and took a look, saying with a serious expression.

Behind the golden pages, there is a mythical beast with a lion's body, two feet on its head, and a goat's beard. It is Bai Ze, one of the ten ancient mythical beasts.

Ye Shi nodded, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and said: "My father may come from a family of formation masters."

Mu Chen lowered his head. Zhuang Yu's legitimate attacker, Bai Yi, was born into the Bai family, a family of formation masters. Most of the Bai family members were formation masters. It was said that the Bai family had a special bloodline, so they seemed to attach particular importance to bloodline. The children of the Bai family and Shuang'er were usually not allowed to marry out of the family.

Of course, it is not impossible for an outsider to ask to marry the daughter of the Bai family and Shuang'er. The possibility is that the person needs to gain the recognition of the Bai family in formation. To gain the recognition of the Bai family, the person must be at least a level six formation master.

Ye Shi stretched out his hand, waved it in front of Mu Chen's eyes, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Mu Chen smiled, hugged Ye Shi, and twisted Ye Shi's waist. Ye Shi suddenly fell limp in Mu Chen's arms, his face instantly turning red like an apple.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking of putting aside alchemy, talismans, and inscriptions for now. What I should really concentrate on studying is the formation. Your biological father was probably born into a family of formation practitioners. If I want to gain your father's recognition, I'm afraid I have to make some achievements in formation." Mu Chen kissed Ye Shi's face and said.

Ye Shi's eyes wandered, he lowered his head, and muttered, "What does my business have to do with him? Whether he agrees or not is irrelevant. I don't need to pay attention to him."

"No matter what, that man is your father! It's only right that you gain the approval of your father-in-law." Mu Chen said seriously.

Ye Shi pouted and said, "For so many years, he hasn't even shown up. I don't want him to tell me what to do."

Mu Chen rubbed Ye Shi's head and said, "When you have time, read more books on formations. The formation at the beginning of this book is a third-level formation. You have never been exposed to formations before, and the fact that you can understand some of it shows that you are quite talented."

The Bai family is naturally gifted in formation techniques, and Ye Shi might also have a high talent in this area.

Ye Shi said a little embarrassedly: "I fall asleep as soon as I start reading."

Mu Chen said disapprovingly: "Maybe, the formation magic won't."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

…………

Inscription Courtyard.

"What did you say? Are you willing to accept the test of the Formation Court?" Xia Qingyan frowned and looked at Mu Chen in surprise.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Xia Qingyan looked at Muchen and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say before that your strength was limited? When did Muchen learn to change his mind so often?"

"I didn't have enough strength before, but yesterday, I accidentally drew a third-level formation and stepped into the ranks of third-level formation masters. Thinking of what you said, Dean, that everything should be based on the overall situation, I deeply feel that it makes sense. As a member of the academy, I should do my part for the academy." Mu Chen said seriously.

Xia Qingyan looked at Mu Chen's righteous expression and couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. Why did the four words "put the overall situation first" sound so awkward when they came out of Mu Chen's mouth?

Xia Qingyan didn't know why Muchen suddenly thought of going to the Formation Court to compete, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the overall situation.

Mu Chen looks like a good person on the surface, but he is actually very cold-hearted. If not, everyone knew about his attainments in alchemy and talisman techniques, he would not even bother to participate in the competition between the two academies. Now he actually took the initiative to participate in the competition of the Formation Court.

"Do you have any conditions?" Xia Qingyan asked.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "As a member of the academy, it's only natural for me to contribute to the academy. However, I'm really interested in formations. If I'm lucky enough to win the competition, I hope to have free access to the Formation Court's library."

Xia Qingyan smiled and thought to herself: This is normal. Mu Chen will not get up early unless there is something to gain. If he doesn't want to gain something, why would he take on the affairs of the court?

…………

Array court.

"Dean, Xia Qingyan said that Mu Chen is willing to accept the competition from the Formation Court." Di Han said excitedly.

Although Muchen had never publicly demonstrated his attainments in formations, he had repeatedly performed miracles since entering the academy. Therefore, Di Han had great confidence in Muchen.

Hao Tu frowned and asked in confusion, "What's going on with Xia Qingyan? She said yesterday that Muchen wouldn't be attending, and she changed it again today."

"It seems that Mu Chen changed his mind himself. Xia Qingyan put forward a condition. If Mu Chen passes the assessment, he will be allowed to enter and leave our library freely." Di Han said.

Hao Tu nodded and said, "That's not a problem."

Mu Chen is also a student of the Holy Star Academy, so he can be considered one of us. This requirement is not too high.

"Although Muchen agreed, we still have to see what his abilities are." Hao Tu said thoughtfully.

Di Han nodded and said in deep agreement, "The dean is right."

Several students from the Formation Court put in their best efforts for the competition. If Muchen didn't have enough strength, those students would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

…………

The news that Mu Chen took over the formation competition spread like wildfire.

Mingyue Academy is coming with great momentum, and the students are all a little nervous. Any little news about the competition will spread quickly.

"Mu Chen actually accepted the competition from the Formation Court. Didn't they say that the Formation Court asked him to turn it down?" Xie Danyan asked in confusion.

Cheng Wanbai shook her head and said, "I originally turned it down, but ended up accepting it. How strange."

Xie Danyan rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "You don't know what kind of person Muchen is! He didn't agree at first, but now he agrees. He must be looking for benefits."

Cheng Wanbai said disapprovingly, "Dan Yan, don't think of Muchen like that! Maybe Muchen wasn't sure he could win the competition before, and then suddenly gained some insights into the formation and advanced, so he wanted to contribute to the academy."

Xie Danyan chuckled and said helplessly, "Wanbai, you are so naive! If Muchen really participated in the competition for this reason, I, Xie Danyan, should write it backwards."

Cheng Wanbai smiled awkwardly, changed the subject, and said, "The academy's senior management seems to be in a bad mood recently! Is Mingyue Academy really that powerful?"

Xie Danyan narrowed her eyes. The territory of the Fran Empire was three times larger than that of their Xuanfeng Empire, and its resources were also richer than their country. Naturally, the quality of the academy was greater in Ye Shi Mingyue Academy.

"We won't know how powerful it is until they arrive." Xie Danyan gritted her teeth.

"Wouldn't it be too difficult for Mu Chen to participate in five events alone?" Cheng Wanbai said worriedly.

Xie Danyan smiled helplessly and said, "I hope he can win. If he loses all five games, it will be a lot of fun." Fifteen places!

Cheng Wanbai rolled his eyes at Xie Danyan helplessly. Xie Danyan smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just kidding. With Muchen's strength, he can at least win half of it. A complete victory is not impossible."

Cheng Wanbai narrowed his eyes and said, "Dan Yan, what do you think of Mu Chen's formation skills?"

Xie Danyan curled her lips and said, "With his slippery, fox-like personality, he must be a third-level formation master." If he was not at the third level, Mu Chen would not have accepted the challenge of the Formation Court.

"Level three, is that possible? He has so much time." Cheng Wanbai frowned slightly.

Xie Danyan shrugged and said, "For that guy, he can always find time if he squeezes in."

…………

Array court.

"Dean, Dean, Mu Chen is here." A student hurried into the principal's office and said.

Hao Tu jumped up suddenly. "He's here. Where's he? Where's he?"

"Let's go!"

Hao Tu suddenly became angry and asked, "Gone? Why did you leave?"

"As soon as Mu entered our school, he asked how to pass the test and whether he could draw a third-level array pattern. A teacher said yes, and Mu easily drew a third-level array pattern and then left."

Hao Tu was stunned for a moment and said, "It's a third-level array pattern. It is indeed a third-level array pattern. You are not mistaken."

Hao Tu thought to himself: The Formation Court is declining day by day, and those bastards are really weak. However, they should be able to distinguish between the third-level formation patterns and the second-level formation patterns.

"Dean, it is indeed a level three array pattern. Instructor Cai He confirmed it."

Hao Tu narrowed his eyes and said, "That's right." Cai He's vision was definitely not wrong.

Hao Tu frowned thoughtfully and said, "He drew a third-level array pattern, and you let him go?"

Everyone present at the time was stunned, and when they came to their senses, Muchen had already left.

"Everyone was a beat slow to react, and by the time they realized what was happening, the person was gone."

Hao Tu gritted his teeth and thought to himself: What a bunch of idiots, not only are they weak, but their reactions are also so slow.

"Where is the formation pattern he left behind? Forget it, I'll go take a look." Hao Tu stood up and walked out directly.
