"Is this guy joking?"
Shen Qi was stunned when he heard Ziyue's voice. He was a free man in Liuzhou, unlike his brothers who had to deal with matters of the Underworld. So he spent most of his time studying the new spells that came out of the academy. He had been involved in the spells of the four major academies. Although he was not an expert in the array formations of the Heaven Academy, he had spent a lot of time studying and understanding them.
He believed that while his current level of formation skills was not as good as Chen Ying's, it wasn't too far off. However, Ziyue's move truly shocked him.
He can Void Formation Drawing, but to instantly create hundreds of arrays in the void like this is a bit excessive. Is it the same as an archer shooting one arrow and shooting a hundred arrows in an instant?
The key point is that these formations are quite complex.
Most importantly, this was done by using teleported elements to create Void Formation Drawing over a long distance. The elements were at least a hundred meters away from the body, yet they still managed to form an array.
This is a realm.
Shen Qi felt a chill run down his spine. He felt that the gap between him and Ziyue was not just a little bit. Ziyue had only been in Jiangnan for two years, while he had been in Jiangnan for many years. He was also among the first to come into contact with the Dragon Palace Inheritance, yet the gap was so huge that he couldn't accept it for a while.
But the scene didn't give him much time to process it.
Because the opponent's next words were. "Have your students break the formation within half an hour."
If it weren't for the fact that warlocks have strong mental control and rarely dream, he would have thought he was still half asleep.
Chen Qing stroked his chin, frowning, and said, "Not all students can pass the test; Ziyue is still a bit too strict."
Shen Qi: "."
This guy isn't joking, is he?
Silently swallowing, Shen Qi looked again at the crystal, at those young students—were they real or fake?
--
"What is that woman saying?" The two members of the Chen Household had grim faces, clearly incredulous.
The others also looked at the contestants from Jiangnan with disbelief.
They were mostly young boys, with only one man looking a little older, but he was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. The youngest looked to be only about ten years old.
That Ziyue actually made this group break the formation in half an hour?
Wait, who is that person?
The Laoda of the Chen Household suddenly spotted a familiar face.
" Shen Yuan?"
Upon closer inspection, the oldest scholar among the contestants from Jiangnan was none other than Shen Yuan.
Everyone recognized this person immediately. The Shen Family in the capital was not a prominent family, and originally not many of its members would remember anyone from the Shen Family. However, Shen Yuan, the eldest son of the main wife, actually became the second-place scholar in the imperial examination, which still caused a lot of amusement.
Very few scions of noble families who didn't want to manage household affairs but instead went out to take the imperial examinations to become officials actually succeeded. Shen Yuan's behavior back then was often the subject of gossip.
Afterwards, Shen Yuan returned to the capital, where his skills were said to have amazed everyone. Even the elders of the Yun Family were controlled by his magic array, which sparked a craze in Jiangnan.
Deep down, many people looked down on this guy who got lucky. Now that everyone has ancient inheritances, no one thought Shen Yuan was anyone special. They never expected to run into him here.
"Hmm?" Shen Yuan frowned. Actually, he didn't really want to make this trip. He was currently engrossed in his research and was living a very fulfilling Heavenly Capital in Jiangnan. He could also spend time with his mother when he had free time. Although he had to deal with his shameless father and younger brother coming to harass him from time to time, overall, he had been living a very comfortable life these past few years.
He had absolutely no interest in participating in any Heavenly Master election or seeking fame and fortune, especially since he would likely encounter people from those prominent families in the capital.
Some unpleasant memories, when recalled, really affect my mood.
Indeed, his mother had put in a lot of effort to get him into the Warlock Academy, but he wasn't qualified enough and suffered countless scornful looks and ridicule. In the Warlock Academy, those without qualifications were the targets of ridicule and bullying, and among them, the two incompetent members of the Chen Household were the most outrageous.
These two individuals were of noble status, but their abilities were mediocre, and they were often ridiculed.
When they encountered themselves, they showed no sympathy whatsoever; instead, they acted as if they had finally found someone they could bully.
Upon seeing the two faces, Shen Yuan's expression darkened considerably.
"Oh, it really is you!" The two young masters from the Chen Household immediately became interested. "You can actually participate in this too?"
"If you two can come, why can't I?"
"What do you mean?" The two members of the Chen Household immediately turned grim, and an aura of pressure emanating from the dragon race emanated from them.
The two had long heard about Shen Yuan's past glory in the capital, and had secretly cursed him countless times, wondering how such a worthless piece of trash could have such luck.
Now that we've met again, a sense of mockery naturally arises.
Just like back in the academy, it's the same now in Jiangnan. They are from the Chen Household. Even if their aptitude is average, they can still become Dragon Transformation sorcerers by using heavy resources. But since their aptitude is poor enough, even if they succeed, they are still no match for the outstanding scions of the South Sea families.
Just like the people who came to participate in the trial this time, there were almost none who were weaker than the two brothers.
In this situation, Shen Yuan is like an outlet for venting emotions!
The members of the South Sea aristocratic families watched coldly as the two Chen Household brothers made their move.
Ziyue's exaggerated tone made it difficult for them to gauge the true strength of these Jiangnan youths. It was perfect for those two good-for-nothings to test them out.
One breath passed, two breaths passed, ten breaths passed.
An awkward scene unfolded.
The two young masters of the Chen Household blushed crimson, their bodies practically oozing dragon scales. But the group of disciples opposite them, not to mention Shen Yuan, even the ten-year-old girl standing not far from Shen Yuan, remained completely unmoved, looking at each other as if they were monkeys.
This comical scene caused the faces of the young men from the South Sea to change drastically!
The two members of the Chen Household are indeed incompetent, but their Dragon Transformation bloodline is undeniable. Although Fusion with a low-quality dragon like the Centipede Dragon, a dragon is still a dragon. Once the bloodline is activated, the resulting pressure is something that no one below the Transcendent level can withstand!
Look at those people from the Cloud Capital family; most of them are pale-faced, and some have even collapsed to the ground.
But the group from Jiangnan were completely different. Their expressions didn't change at all; they just looked at each other like idiots. This atmosphere instantly silenced the entire room.
The two people from the Chen Household went from flushed to ashen-faced, but they didn't utter another harsh word.
The two were incompetent and jealous, but they weren't stupid. They understood perfectly well what it meant to withstand their pressure.
These guys from Jiangnan are all actually at the Transcendent Realm!
Aren't they just a bunch of kids?
How could that be?
"You two," Shen Yuan finally spoke, "You must have used a secret technique to Dragon Transformation, right? And Dragon Transformation wasn't long ago. I advise you both to spend another ten years consolidating your strength. Don't activate your bloodlines unnecessarily, otherwise, once your foundation is damaged, it will be too late to regret it."
What nonsense are you spouting?
Watching the other person casually remove their underwear, the two felt endless resentment, yet dared not do anything.
The guy they used to humiliate every day now has a look in his eyes that seems unapproachable, which is the last thing they can accept.
"Alright." Shen Yuan ignored them and turned to the other Jiangnan disciples. "Hurry up, if you don't want to go back and retake the course..."
"Yes!" At the mention of retaking the course, the group of teenagers finally put away their playful smiles and became serious.
To everyone's astonishment, these teenagers, without hesitation, activated their spells and rushed into the magic arrays!
