Divine King of Honour-Chapter 741: The Problem with Being Low-Key

This woman with red teardrop moles

is the last closed-door disciple of the Dark God Island Master, known as Hong Xiang.

Though her Cultivation was only of the Pseudo Void Level of the Supreme Battle Emperor Realm,

she had mastered a Low Grade Spirit Array.

Even when facing a true Zifu Cultivator, she had no problems protecting herself.

Such is the power of a Formation.

To be able to cultivate and master the Low Grade Spirit Array in just a few months, though it was merely a simple Defensive Spirit Array,

still clearly showcased her exceptional talent in the realm of Formations.

Her master had once mentioned Xu Nian.

He said that someone had bet him that Xu Nian could learn the basics of a Formation in three days.

For her, a genius in Formations, that seemed impossible.

Even she took a full twenty days to accomplish such a feat.

Thus when she knew this youth was the Xu Nian her master spoke of,

she couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Her final conclusion was,

this young man could not possibly grasp the basics of a Formation in three days.

He might not even understand the basic theories.

…

Xu Nian was unaware that he had become the subject of a wager.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in understanding the Formation.

Initially, this Formation knowledge seemed abstruse and difficult to comprehend.

But once he grasped the Profound Argumentations, it became much easier.

Thus, Xu Nian took only a few two-hour periods to grasp the foundational knowledge of the Formation.

However, Xu Nian was in no hurry to comprehend the basic Formation.

Instead, he continued to integrate and penetrate this Formation knowledge.

Only by thoroughly understanding these basic theories could he be more adept when comprehending Formations.

Sharpening the ax will not interfere with the work of cutting wood.

Time ticked away.

Day quickly turned to night.

A day passed.

Some Sea Demons had already withdrawn from their meditation.

It wasn't that they didn't want to persevere, but rather they were simply unsuitable for comprehending Formations.

Sitting for a day, they understood nothing.

Even if they continued sitting, it wouldn't help.

It was better to give up early.

Of course, there were some who kept persisting.

Yet no matter how much they sweated, they couldn't grasp the meaning of the Formation.

"What in the world is this? I can't understand anything," the Whale Clan Princess stood up.

She had been sitting for a whole day.

But she hadn't grasped anything.

In frustration, she gave up.

After standing up, she scanned the surroundings.

Finally, her gaze landed on Xu Nian, who was sitting in a corner.

She noticed that Xu Nian was sitting there with a furrowed brow.

A cold sneer formed in her heart.

"Hmph, looks like you haven't grasped anything either. If you can't comprehend it, there's no point in forcing yourself," the Whale Clan Princess murmured coldly.

However, she didn't disturb Xu Nian.

Instead, she turned her head toward Hong Xiang, who was not far off.

She noticed that Hong Xiang's gaze was fixed on Xu Nian, which immediately displeased her.

Xu Nian was her prey.

She couldn't allow others to covet him.

Moreover, this woman's beauty seemed to surpass her own.

Thus, her look towards Hong Xiang became jealous and hostile.

However, Hong Xiang never looked her way from beginning to end.

This made her teeth itch with frustration.

Although she was capricious, she knew this was Dark God Island.

She dared not cause trouble.

Time kept passing relentlessly.

The original sixty-two people also gradually began to stand up, shaking their heads and sighing.

After three days, they hadn't even grasped the theory of the Formation.

Let alone understanding the Formation itself.

Of course, there were also twelve who stayed behind.

These twelve included the Four Demon Emperors, Xuan Hong, a youth from the Whale Clan, a cold man from the Jiao Long Emperor's side, young men and women from the Qingcheng Sect, and some figures from minor forces.

"Ding!"

With a crisp ringing sound,

the three days had come to an end.

The twelve people opened their eyes.

The Dark God Island Master had also returned to the plaza.

The people around were speculating whether any of these twelve had truly grasped the Basic Array.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is your understanding? Have any of you grasped this Basic Array?" the Dark God Island Master said with a smiling demeanor.

As his words dropped,

complete silence enveloped the surroundings.

Some people even shook their heads helplessly.

"Lord Island Master, this task you set is truly too difficult. To my knowledge, entry-level Formation requires at least a month, and even the most talented need ten days. You gave us only three days, which is really quite harsh," Fu Yuming from the Qingcheng Sect spoke.

As a disciple from a Cultivation Sect, he naturally had more knowledge than ordinary people.

So, he was well aware of how challenging it was to enter the realm of Formation.

Hearing this, the people around came to a sudden realization.

The previously dejected mood also relaxed.

It was not that they were incompetent, but that the demands of the Dark God Island Master were too severe.

Even the Whale Emperor and Emperor Xuanwu nodded in agreement.

In three days, they had only just grasped the surface of the basic theory.

Let alone the underlying Basic Array.

The Dark God Island Master just chuckled.

He had anticipated this situation.

So, he wasn't surprised by this.

"Just because you didn't grasp it doesn't mean others couldn't. I believe there are some among you who have understood this Basic Array," the Dark God Island Master said.

"Grasping a Basic Array in three days? How is that possible?" Fu Yuming and Fang Shishi both spoke.

Clearly, they thought the Dark God Island Master was joking.

Whale Emperor and Jiao Long Emperor were of the same mind.

However, the Dark God Island Master just smiled broadly and looked towards Xu Nian, who was standing in a corner, saying, "Xu Nian, how is your understanding?"

The people around, hearing the words of the Dark God Island Master, turned their heads to look at Xu Nian.

Could it be that when the Dark God Island Master said someone could understand, he meant Xu Nian?

Could this guy really grasp the Basic Array within three days?

When Xu Nian heard the words of the Dark God Island Master, he replied with a faint smile, "Replying to Uncle Master, my understanding is so-so."

Hearing Xu Nian's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, that scared me. I really thought he grasped the Basic Array in three days. So-so means he didn't really grasp anything," people around murmured in dismay.

The Whale Emperor and the young men and women from Qingcheng Sect showed expressions of disdain.

Within three days, they had only just begun to comprehend the theory of the Formation.

How could this young man possibly understand the Formation?

The Dark God Island Master, hearing Xu Nian's words, showed a hint of disappointment.

But he quickly came to terms with it.

Though a great genius was lacking, he had still won and obtained a bottle of Jade Dew.

Meanwhile, Hong Xiang, although emotionless, had a look in her eyes toward Xu Nian that shifted from curiosity to indifference.

Xu Nian gave a bitter smile.

He immediately realized that these people had misunderstood what he meant by "so-so."

Sometimes, being too modest can also be a flaw.
