Upon hearing Granny Huasong's words, Chen Zhou immediately recognized her as referring to Wo Wan. Both the timing and her abilities matched perfectly. Wo Wan had practiced formations since childhood, aiming to become a formation master. However, due to the misleading influence of the formation master instructors from the Northern Kingdom, she had been unable to reach the level of a second-tier formation master. In terms of knowledge of formations alone, Chen Zhou was probably inferior to Wo Wan.
Therefore, Chen Zhou now guessed who Granny Huasong was referring to.
"What good is having a foundation in formations? I can't use demonic energy, so I can't set it up at all," Chen Zhou muttered, his tone slightly dejected. Granny Hua Song only said that following her method, one could sense the demonic energy, but she didn't say that following her method, one could actually use demonic energy!
For a formation master, this is similar to how, in the Tianyun Continent, you can only sense true qi but cannot use it—it's the same principle. It's like being able to see pigs running but not truly control the herd.
"Wait, do you really have a foundation in formations? Were you a formation master in your original continent?" Granny Huasong listened to Chen Zhou's tone and roughly guessed that Chen Zhou might be a formation master, but she wasn't sure, so she immediately asked.
Chen Zhou nodded slightly. What was there to deny?
Being a formation master should be something to be proud of, Chen Zhou believed, there was no need to hide it.
"Really?" Granny Huasong was clearly somewhat incredulous. Was it really that difficult to find someone with basic array formation skills in this magical city? Chen Zhou was puzzled, but he could only answer affirmatively, "Really."
"Has the power of this city increased a lot? Why have they recruited two array masters in succession?" Upon hearing this, Granny Huasong changed her tense mood and said calmly in a low voice.
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Zhou had obviously heard what Granny Huasong said, so he asked curiously.
The underlying meaning of Granny Huasong's words is that the power of this magical city cannot absorb two array masters? Then how did they get in?
"Do you know what is most important in Shanghai?" Granny Huasong asked Chen Zhou slowly.
"Demonic energy?" Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said casually.
"You're only half right. The most important thing in this Demon City is the ability to control demonic energy. But the Demon City's power is limited. Most of the people it recruits are those with weak spiritual cultivation, while array masters generally have strong spiritual power. So very few array masters are recruited by the Demon City. You and the woman I saw last time are two exceptions. After so long, the Demon City has recruited array masters again? What does this mean? Will another huge change occur?" Granny Huasong's voice grew lower and lower.
"What do you mean?" Chen Zhou was somewhat confused by Granny Huasong's implied meaning.
"The most important ability in the Demon City is the ability to control demonic energy. Do you know what unleashes the greatest power of demonic energy? It's array formations. So, as an array master, you have a natural foundation. Once you master the method of using demonic energy, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds. This is the most important thing in the Demon City. As long as you have strength, your influence in the Demon City will be greater, and becoming a Demon Lord will be a piece of cake," Granny Huasong continued.
After listening to what Granny Huasong said, Chen Zhou realized that array masters were so popular in Shanghai. No wonder the middle-aged merchant had never seen an array master in all the time he had been in Shanghai. It turned out that Shanghai's resources were limited, and it could probably only recruit one or two array masters every few decades.
Chen Zhou and Wo Wan are the two most unfortunate formation masters.
There are so many array masters in the Tianyun Continent, but only one or two of them can be selected by the Demon Capital to enter the Demon Capital. And those one or two people are Wo Wan and Chen Zhou.
"But mastering demonic energy is no easy feat..." Chen Zhou said softly. The middle-aged merchant had already told him about demonic energy, so it must be quite a complicated matter.
“That’s true. All I can do is guide you to sense the demonic energy, but you can already sense it. There’s nothing more for you to learn. You just need to wait quietly for the teleportation channel to open,” Granny Huasong said.
Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "What? The main purpose of this teleportation training is just for me to sense that demonic energy?"
"That's true. My abilities are limited. I can only guide you to sense demonic energy; there's nothing else you can improve upon. However, this is a long-term process. You can train on this in Shanghai as long as you're there. The more refined your sense of demonic energy, the greater the benefits. So, this training has no end date; it will continue until the teleportation channel opens."
"With your current strength, I think you don't need to learn from me anymore. The benefits I can offer you are minimal. You can stay in this room and sense the demonic energy. When you can sense which areas in this room have more demonic energy and which have less, and when you can sense the quantity, you can leave this room. This is currently the only way you can improve," Granny Huasong said slowly.
"So that means I don't have to study with them?" Chen Zhou asked rhetorically. Did that mean he would be studying alone in this room while the others studied outside?
“Yes, there’s no point in you learning from them anymore. You just need to stay here and sense the demonic energy until the teleportation channel opens. We’ll remind you when it opens, and we’ll also provide three meals a day. You can stay here quietly and sense the demonic energy. I don’t have anything to teach you about sensing demonic energy, because you have your own methods.” Granny Huasong continued, then turned to leave.
