Hiss—Hear the Chorus of Sharp Breaths: Chang Chunbo's Dao Heart Shattered!

Outside the Formation Hall.

Watching Su Yuquan sigh in regret, looking as though he thought something had gone wrong with Fang Hong's mind.

Fang Hong truly did not know whether to laugh or cry.

With that thought, Fang Hong raised a hand helplessly and pulled free of Su Yuquan's hand on his shoulder.

"Senior Brother Su, take another look..."

After saying that, Fang Hong directly closed his eyes.

Although, after practicing that copy of Detailed Explanation of Formation Basics to the perfected realm, he could rely on the heaven-defying effects of his Golden Finger to stir Heaven and Earth's Momentum.

Perhaps because he truly had possessed no talent for formations before.

If he wanted to stir Heaven and Earth's Momentum now, he still needed to calm himself and prepare properly before he could do it.

"Look at what?"

Hearing Fang Hong's words and seeing him close his eyes immediately afterward, Su Yuquan wore a puzzled expression.

Did Senior Brother Fang's mind have a rather serious problem?

But just as that thought crossed his mind, Fang Hong suddenly opened his closed eyes.

Buzz—

The next moment, Fang Hong raised a hand and pressed down.

An invisible force and ripple suddenly appeared in a patch of space to the side.

"Hm?"

"HM?!!"

Su Yuquan was initially puzzled, but once he realized what that ripple and force were.

His eyes instantly widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

"Th-this is Heaven and Earth's Momentum?!!"

Su Yuquan cried out in disbelief.

Whoosh—

The next second, Su Yuquan's gaze snapped toward Fang Hong, his eyes full of shock.

"Senior Brother Fang, th-this was your doing?!"

Su Yuquan stared blankly, utterly unable to believe it. Even his speech had become stuttered as he asked.

"Mhm."

Fang Hong nodded lightly. "Well? You should believe what I said earlier now, right?"

"Do you still think there's something wrong with my mind?"

Fang Hong asked with an amused smile.

Gulp—

Hearing that, Su Yuquan swallowed hard in disbelief.

His gaze upon Fang Hong was filled with horror.

"Th-this is simply too inconceivable."

"Just yesterday, you still had no talent for formations. Even when Master stirred Heaven and Earth's Momentum to set up a formation, you couldn't sense it."

"How did you become completely different after just one night? Not only can you sense Heaven and Earth's Momentum—"

"you can even stir it directly!"

Hearing this, Fang Hong gave a light laugh and shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe I actually did have talent for formations, but it simply never showed itself before."

"After studying last night, perhaps it directly awakened my talent for formations."

Although Fang Hong said that, Su Yuquan still looked as if his entire worldview had collapsed.

He sighed in utter disbelief. "This is far too inconceivable..."

But before he could finish, Su Yuquan's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately grabbed Fang Hong's hand again.

"Come. Perhaps Master will have a different view of your situation."

"And with such astonishing talent for formations, Master will definitely be overjoyed when he hears about it!"

As he spoke, Su Yuquan was already dragging Fang Hong and running straight toward the back of the Formation Hall.

All that remained were the many disciples around the Formation Hall, still standing there dumbfounded, their faces full of shock.

Ever since Fang Hong had been waiting for Su Yuquan earlier, they had been watching the excitement from nearby.

Naturally, they had all witnessed the scene that had left Su Yuquan so horrified.

And most of these disciples were disciples of the Formation Hall.

Since they could enter the Formation Hall, they naturally all possessed talent for formations, and most had even studied formations for many years.

So of course they all knew what that invisible ripple and force just now had been—and what it represented.

"W-what the hell? Didn't they say that guy had no talent for formations?"

"Yeah, I heard the Hall Master personally said he had no talent for formations."

"Then explain what that was just now. Wasn't that Heaven and Earth's Momentum being stirred into manifestation?"

"How would I know?! Can't you see I'm completely dumbfounded too?"

"No, everyone, aren't you focusing on the wrong thing here?"

"If I remember correctly, Uncle Fang only came to the Formation Hall yesterday to ask the Hall Master to teach him formations, right?"

"How had he managed to initially stir Heaven and Earth's Momentum after just one night?"

"Exactly! He mastered it in only one night—hiss, just how terrifying was his talent for formations?"

"Do you remember how long it took you to reach that step?"

"It took me three months. What about you?"

"Damn it, it took me a full half year just to barely manage an initial stirring of Heaven and Earth's Momentum!"

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

After merely exchanging a few words, the Formation Hall disciples were all met with the sound of countless sharp intakes of breath rising continuously among them.

Then, as they looked in the direction Fang Hong had vanished, every face filled with shock and envy.

Damn it, who the hell said Heaven was fair?

It gave him such incredible fortune, and then it gave him such horrifying talent for formations.

Was there any justice left in the world?!

Meanwhile, in the Formation Hall's rear courtyard—

"Master, Master!! Something huge has happened!!"

Su Yuquan dragged Fang Hong along in a jog, shouting all the way.

"Why are you making such a racket? Have you no sense of propriety?!"

With a bang, the door to one of the rooms in the rear courtyard was flung open, and Chang Chunbo, his face dark, immediately barked out a furious reprimand.

"Master, hurry and see what is going on with Junior Brother Fang!"

"Didn't you say yesterday that Junior Brother Fang had no talent for formations?"

"But after Junior Brother Fang went back last night and studied for a whole night, thoroughly comprehending the Detailed Explanation of Formation Basics you gave him, he suddenly gained extraordinarily high talent for formations."

"Not only can he sense Heaven and Earth's Momentum, he can even initially stir it already!"

Facing Chang Chunbo's dark expression, Su Yuquan offered no explanation at all. Instead, he hurriedly spoke with an excited, astonished look on his face.

"What?!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Su Yuquan's words, Chang Chunbo's white brows immediately rose, his face full of astonishment.

Then he frowned and looked directly at Fang Hong.

Fang Hong nodded. "What Senior Brother Su said is true. I really can initially stir Heaven and Earth's Momentum."

"That's right, Master. Don't disbelieve it. I didn't believe it either at first, but then I saw with my own eyes that Senior Brother Fang had stirred Heaven and Earth's Momentum!"

"It wasn't just me. The many Formation Hall disciples who were present all saw it too."

Su Yuquan added excitedly.

At that, Chang Chunbo's frown deepened further.

"How could that be?"

As a formation master who had studied formations for over a hundred years, he dared say that on the Way of Formations, he was inferior to no one else.

Thus, he had immense confidence in his own judgment.

He believed he had not been mistaken yesterday. Fang Hong truly possessed no talent for formations.

But if that was the case, then what was Su Yuquan talking about?

Master and disciple for many years, he understood Su Yuquan's character well and believed that Su Yuquan would never dare deceive him.

What was more, Su Yuquan had said that, besides himself, so many Formation Hall disciples had witnessed it as well.

And something like this could not possibly be faked through deception alone.

So what he said was true?

Had he really been wrong?!

At the thought of this, Chang Chunbo's brows knitted tightly as he stared at Fang Hong, his eyes full of shock and uncertainty.

"Fang Hong, trigger Heaven and Earth's Momentum again. Let me see what's going on."

"Alright."

Seeing this, Fang Hong merely nodded calmly, then closed his eyes.

A moment later, he opened them and lifted a hand, pointing lightly.

Bzzz—

That invisible force and its ripples appeared once more.

Crack—

His face filled with astonishment, Chang Chunbo accidentally tore out a small clump of his own beard.

At the same time, what shattered along with it...

was also his Dao Heart...
