If the System Doesn't Admit It, It Isn't One

"What, so fast?"

Lu Changzhi was somewhat bewildered.

It was as if he could learn it at a glance, and he could max it out instantly. The speed was frighteningly fast.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment.

Logically speaking, even with his high level of comprehension, he shouldn't be able to comprehend such a formation he'd never seen before.

But it actually happened.

Moreover, it doesn't seem to be due to the simplification of practice.

"System, is it because of your abilities?"

Lu Changzhi thought of a possibility.

Currently, Chen Yibi is his chosen target.

My speed is faster than yours.

This speed, as mentioned in the ability description, is a very broad concept.

The speed of comprehension is also included.

The current situation is very likely related to this.

He made a rough guess.

I've never seen this formation before; I need to understand and learn from it.

And this restriction was most likely created by Chen Yibi himself.

How long would it take Chen Yibi to comprehend and learn the array formation he created?

Obviously, since it was created by myself, it would be easy to learn at a glance.

He himself grasped the concepts 10% faster than Chen Yibi.

Therefore, it's not something you can master at a glance.

It takes about 0.9 seconds.

Upon realizing this, Lu Changzhi felt somewhat incredulous.

That would be rather terrifying.

To learn any skill or martial art, simply find the person who created it, choose them as your target, and then begin your training.

Generally speaking, the further one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to learn new martial arts techniques, as the system becomes increasingly complex and requires deeper study.

But with this ability, the benefits are far more exaggerated than simply simplifying the practice.

Of course, Lu Changzhi wasn't just making things up on his own.

He verified his thoughts and guesses with the system.

The system gave an affirmative answer, just as he expected.

"So, system, this is a bug?" Lu Changzhi asked.

"Reporting to Master, the system is bug-free."

The system responded.

"Not bad." Lu Changzhi was very satisfied.

"We should have more of this kind of situation in the future."

The system paused for a moment:

"Master, this is a limited edition; there won't be any more."

"What you're saying makes me even more convinced that this is a bug," Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

"If it's not a bug, and the system doesn't acknowledge it, then it isn't." The system's voice was firm.

Lu Changzhi and the system verification void.

Chen Yibi watched Lu Changzhi's almost beaming face, and for a moment, he felt even more annoyed.

"If you can, you can; if you can't, you can't. Don't waste my time."

Lu Changzhi regained his composure and focused his attention back on Chen Yibi, saying:

"This is it, let's begin."

After speaking, Lu Changzhi gestured and said:

"First come, first served."

Chen Yibi snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with Lu Changzhi about who should go first, and simply said:

"Ignorant brat, watch this!"

As the voice faded, the surrounding world suddenly surged with power, and in the next instant, it seemed to be under control, converging towards Chen Yibi.

Chen Yibi raised his body and pointed out that he should not rely on external objects to form an array.

Suddenly, a storm was brewing.

The array formation appeared swiftly and rapidly, from its main body to its branches, and then to its smallest details; the entire process was as smooth as flowing water.

Even a layman present, unable to appreciate the extraordinary skill involved, would still be enough to make him exclaim "Holy crap!"

Rather than creating a restrictive array, it's more like wiping away dust, revealing the array that already existed.

The entire process took only Sanxi.

Chen Yibi stopped writing.

Even though the body is gone and only the soul remains, the creation of this array is still as impressive as ever, maintaining the highest level of craftsmanship it once was.

Chen Yibi glanced at Lu Changzhi, but didn't say anything more, only saying:

"I'm giving you a chance to admit defeat."

Admitting defeat is more detrimental to one's moral character than simply losing a battle.

But since they dare to provoke, they must face the consequences of their provocation.

"Truly worthy of being One Brush Saint Emperor."

Lu Changzhi spoke up.

The next moment, he also raised his hand.

He did not use Dao Simplification Brush.

He wanted to see what the effects would be if the speed of the ability amplification increased.

Brush.

Following his existing intuition, Lu Changzhi channeled his spiritual power and began to create it.

In the initial instant, there was a very subtle feeling, as if time had slowed down in an instant.

But it was only a fleeting feeling.

The subsequent process was more like an instinctive action.

The only thing that surprised Lu Changzhi was the speed at which his strength was being depleted, which was also quite astonishing.

It was as if it had been taken away suddenly.

Sanxi is not a long time.

However, this seems to be the case for Chen Yibi.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

This arrogant junior, who was practically radiating arrogance, was now moving even faster than he had previously displayed.

It's incredibly fast, like a ghost.

In an instant, Chen Yibi's expression changed completely, and even his breathing... no, as a soul, he no longer needed to breathe.

But he still subconsciously held his breath.

Then.

Lu Changzhi has completed it.

Sanxi is clearly not an easy task.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi only lasted for two breaths and seven seconds before he recovered.

"The speed boost this ability provides is simply outrageous."

Even though he knew the system was powerful, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but sigh inwardly at this moment.

It was a rather strange feeling.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi looked at Chen Yibi and said:

"How?"

Chen Yibi ignored Lu Changzhi and continued to stare intently at the array that Lu Changzhi had just created.

Seeing this, Lu Changzhi spoke up again:

"Can we compare the time taken?"

Chen Yibi finally snapped out of his daze, his eyes fixed on Lu Changzhi.

Their time was no slower than mine, or even nearly the same.

None of the disciples he initially accepted, who were considered quite talented, had reached this level.

How exactly did this arrogant successor manage to do it?

He dedicated his entire life to researching array formations and figuring out how to make their creation faster.

Aura can be concealed, cause and effect can be obscured; all of these can be achieved with the help of external objects.

But the speed...

Ironically, the more you come into contact with something and the more you understand it, the less room there is for explanation.

But he left no legacy, so how could the other party have accomplished this?

Chen Yibi's heart sank, sensing a faint threat.

If future generations surpass him, the world will surely forget him.

At this moment, Chen Yibi suddenly remembered Lu Changzhi's smile before he started.

In a short time, some guesses began to emerge.

This junior must have come prepared. The array talisman he just took out was something he had anticipated, which explains his reaction.

Fast, of course it's fast.

But it's nothing more than copying what others have already said.

Over the years, he has also developed many new array formations, which he has never revealed to the outside world.

If you choose those options, no matter how clever you are, it won't be of any use.

Thinking of this, Chen Yibi reacted with surprising calmness:

This time, you win.

What question do you want to ask me?
