Chapter 142 Formation Competition
"Brother Muchen, Dean Hao Tu is looking for you!" A student from the Formation Court saw Muchen and rushed over excitedly like a fox seeing a chicken.
"Hao Tu is looking for you! That guy has no vision." Ye Shi crossed his arms, his face full of disgust.
Mu Chen glanced at Ye Shi and asked with interest, "Why do you say that?"
"I told him a few days ago that my formations are very powerful and I'm a level three formation master. I want to participate in the formation competition and win glory for the academy. He told me to stop messing around and drove me away. This blind guy couldn't even recognize a formation genius standing in front of him." Ye Shi said unwillingly.
Mu Chen smiled. Hao Tu's eyesight was indeed not very good! Even Ye Shi's talent in formation was inferior to his.
"Let's go together."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
As soon as Hao Tu saw Mu Chen, he immediately came out to greet him excitedly.
"Mr. Muchen, you're finally here. Oh my, you look more and more handsome. Oh, you're so handsome. No wonder the female students in the academy, Shuang'er, have eyes for no one but you. If you keep going like this, the male students will have eyes for no one but you too."
Mu Chen smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for your compliment, Principal. You are really too kind."
Ye Shi poked his head out from behind Muchen and glared at Hao Tu fiercely. Hao Tu smiled innocently at Ye Shi.
Hao Tu coughed twice and said righteously, "Mr. Mu, I heard that your father was attacked by unknown individuals in the imperial capital. These thieves are so bold and presumptuous to act like this in the imperial capital. The dean has already sent someone to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."
"Thank you, Dean." Although Mu Chen didn't think Lian Chengkong could find out anything, he still expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"Mu Chen, the formation competition is about mazes. At that time, you and the contestants from the other academy will draw a maze at the same time. The two academies will send two students of similar strength to enter the maze of the other academy. If the maze you drew can trap the students of the other academy for a longer time, then you win." Hao Tu introduced.
"It sounds really interesting. I want to join in too." Ye Shi said with shining eyes.
Hao Tu: “…”
Mu Chen looked at Hao Tu and said, "Dean Hao, you should let Shitou join. After all, the other one from the Formation Court is also there to make up the numbers. It doesn't matter who joins."
Hao Tu laughed dryly, "Okay..."
Hao Tu looked at Muchen. Everyone said that Muchen was good in every way except that he was a little henpecked. The rumors turned out to be true!
…………
The court game went on as scheduled.
Lei Cheng sat in the stands with a dark face, his expression so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
The Equipment Refining Academy was completely wiped out yesterday. It seemed that the students in the academy had known that they would fail, so few people came to watch.
Today we had a court match. Before the match even started, a large number of students had gathered in the stands. It was obvious that they were full of confidence in playing against the court.
"Is there any reply from the dean?" Lei Cheng asked Pan Xingguo as he walked over.
Pan Xingguo shook his head helplessly, "The dean doesn't agree." Lei Cheng suggested to the dean that Muchen be transferred to the Equipment Refining Institute. Needless to say, the dean would not agree to such an absurd suggestion.
"I don't agree. Why should I? Mu Chen can do everything except refining weapons. Refining weapons will sooner or later hinder Mu Chen." Lei Cheng said.
Pan Xingguo rolled his eyes helplessly. The dean thought that Muchen was learning too much and his attention was distracted. He was worried that he would not be able to continue learning, so he hoped that he would specialize in one subject. Finally, Muchen had no interest in refining equipment. How could the dean want Muchen to learn it?
"Mu Chen is here."
"Mu Chen is here."
…………
As soon as Muchen appeared, bursts of exclamations were heard from the viewing stands. Muchen raised his hand and waved to the students in the stands, and the cheers immediately became more intense.
"Mu Chen, this pretty boy, is really popular!" Lei Cheng said while looking at Mu Chen in the audience.
Pan Xingguo gave a bitter smile. A fourteen-year-old dual-level fourth-level alchemy and talisman master, if nothing unexpected happened, Mu Chen would definitely surpass all the instructors in the academy and become a fifth-level alchemy and talisman master. Such a person must be popular!
"Formation Court, besides Muchen, who is the other one joining the competition to make up the numbers?" Lei Cheng asked lazily.
"It seems to be Ye Shi." Pan Xingguo said.
Lei Cheng's brows jumped, "Ye Shi, why is it Ye Shi?"
Pan Xingguo shrugged and said, "I heard that it was Muchen who proposed it. Ye Shi thought it was interesting, so Muchen recommended Ye Shi to the Formation Court in order to please Ye Shi."
Lei Cheng rolled his eyes. "Hao Tu, this idiot, is really making a fuss. Does Ye Shi know how to draw a formation? He can't even draw a first-level formation! Even if he's just making up the numbers, he still has to be a bit skilled!"
…………
Jing Chiyan looked at Ye Shi below the stage with a tense expression.
"Brother Jing, why did your apprentice run to the stage? Does he want to participate in the competition?" Hua Shu asked Jing Chiyan in confusion.
Jing Chiyan smiled and said in an enigmatic tone, "Brother Hua, just watch."
Jing Chiyan rolled his eyes secretly in his heart. Why did Ye Shi go to the stage? Hua Shu asked him, who should he ask? God knows why Ye Shi went to the stage.
"Brother Jing, is your apprentice going to participate in the Formation Court competition? Your apprentice actually knows formations?" Hua Shu said in surprise.
Jing Chiyan smiled faintly, still maintaining the smile of a master, without saying a word.
In the stands, the students' cheers were heard one after another. Almost everyone was cheering for Muchen, and Ye Shi was selectively forgotten.
Ye Shi looked around excitedly and saw Jing Chiyan. Ye Shi waved to Jing Chiyan enthusiastically.
"Brother Jing, your apprentice is greeting you!" Hua Shu said to Jing Chiyan with a mischievous look.
Jing Chiyan smiled dryly and said, "My disciple is so energetic. How is your disciple Lan Ruofeng doing recently?" I heard that the guy suddenly became weak and was on the verge of being useless.
Hua Shu frowned. Lan Ruofeng seemed to have suffered a huge blow since his failure in the competition, and he was in a state of despair. Zhuang Yu also seemed to have completely given up on Lan Ruofeng and did not even show up.
Jing Chiyan looked in the direction of Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu has never lacked admirers. Without Lan Ruofeng, there are more people surrounding Zhuang Yu.
Lu Yao from Mingyue Academy seems to be interested in Zhuang Yu too! What a troublemaker!
Zhuang Yu was sitting in the stands, looking at Ye Shi who was standing next to Muchen. He frowned and said, "Ye Shi, why are you on stage?"
"I heard that Mu Chen made a sudden proposal, so the Formation Court replaced the contestant on stage with Ye Shi." A well-informed student next to Zhuang Yu said immediately.
Zhuang Yu frowned and said, "Mu Chen is too ridiculous. This is a competition, not a game. Ye Shi is making trouble, and he actually helps him."
"Isn't it? Even if Muchen deserves credit for winning the competition, it's still too much to behave so recklessly." A student who was jealous of Muchen immediately agreed.
Xia Qingyan looked at Ye Shi in the audience, her eyes flashing with interest, "Why is Ye Shi on stage?"
Xia Qingli shrugged and said, "I heard that it was Muchen who recommended him. Ye Shi heard about the competition process and found it interesting. He wanted to participate, so Muchen recommended Ye Shi."
The old man from the Zhen Court didn't want to offend Mu Chen, so he agreed.
"Mu Chen, this guy, doesn't avoid suspicion!" Xia Qingyan said with narrowed eyes.
Xia Qingli rolled her eyes and said, "He doesn't care about that." Mu Chen looked gentle, but in fact he was vicious and unscrupulous.
Someone from the Dan Academy or the Fu Academy offended him, but he ignored whatever the elders of the two academies said. He even killed Zhu Xu after he called him an idiot.
…………
The game begins.
The four contestants picked up the formation pens at the same time and began to draw the formation plate.
Ye Shi wrote with full concentration, and the formation characters fell rapidly on the formation plate.
Hua Shu looked at Ye Shi, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Brother Jing, can your disciple draw a formation? Look at his movements, he seems to be quite skilled."
Jing Chiyan smiled and said proudly: "As my disciple, he should be able to behave like this."
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the details. As soon as Ye Shi made a move, Hao Tu and Di Han's faces changed.
Ye Shi was completely immersed in the drawing of the array pattern, with a bright green light blooming in his eyes.
"Spiritual Pattern Eyes, oh my god." Hao Tu screamed and couldn't help but stand up.
Di Han stood up as well, and both of them seemed very excited.
Hao Tu widened his eyes. Damn it, damn it, this guy Ye Shi actually has spiritual pattern eyes.
People who possess spiritual pattern eyes are natural formation masters. They can quickly memorize and copy formations and see through the omissions in formations.
Some spiritual pattern eyes are innate, while some are developed through cultivation. Innate spiritual pattern eyes have more advantages than acquired spiritual pattern eyes. Ye Shi's eyes are obviously innate spiritual pattern eyes.
A genius formation master appeared before his eyes, but he didn't even recognize him.
Before, Ye Shi volunteered himself, but he seemed to have driven him away. Oh my God! What a sin!
Damn it, if it weren’t for Muchen’s recommendation, their Formation Court would have missed out on such a peerless genius.
Hao Tu's face flushed. Mu Chen had already entered Xia Qingyan and Xia Qingli's tiger blood vessels, and it was probably impossible to dig him out. However, this Ye Shi must be dug out. If he couldn't dig him out, he would be the eternal sinner of the Formation Court.
Di Han looked at Ye Shi, thoughtfully.
Spiritual pattern eyes appear randomly. Generally speaking, if there are people with spiritual pattern eyes in the ancestors, the probability of their descendants having spiritual pattern eyes will be higher. Who are Ye Shi’s ancestors? Could they be a family of formation masters?
Ye Shi's abnormal behavior was not only discovered by the people from Holy Star Academy, but also by the people from Dark Moon Academy.
The formation instructor of Mingyue Academy suddenly turned pale.
Jing Chiyan glanced at Hao Tu, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes. He originally thought that Ye Shi's appearance was just nonsense, but looking at the expressions of Hao Tu and Di Han, Ye Shi was the real deal. It was really surprising that his apprentice was actually a formation genius.
Lei Cheng's face became darker. Spiritual Pattern Eyes, Ye Shi actually possessed Spiritual Pattern Eyes. Anyone picked up by the Formation Court to make up the numbers would be a genius with Spiritual Pattern Eyes. How come he didn't have such good luck?
The array plate in Ye Shi's hand emitted a green light, and a beautiful array pattern appeared for a moment, then disappeared.
The light curtain in Ye Shi's eyes slowly dissipated.
"A third-level array plate is a third-level advanced maze array." Hao Tu said with clenched fists.
He had never seen the maze drawn by Ye Shi, but it was obvious that this formation was more complicated than any he had seen before. It should be a powerful formation.
