NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1167: Superficial
"Indeed."
The head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters nodded in agreement, "I even feel that if everything goes smoothly for him in the future, letting him succeed as the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters might be quite good."
"Are you already choosing your successor?"
The master of the Divine Stone Workshop teased with a chuckle, while starting to ponder inwardly.
After all, this was said by the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters personally.
Initially, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop felt some burden, as the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters had always treated him rather well.
But now, since the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters had said it, helping Wang Ye to overthrow the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters is a matter of following orders.
The head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters glanced below at the Formations arranged by Wang Ye and Ye Chen, and spoke sincerely: "No wonder Wang Ye would abandon his advantage in combat to choose a fair competition against Ye Chen. Wang Ye's attainments in Formation are indeed quite impressive."
"Even if this time Wang Ye cannot defeat Ye Chen, Wang Ye can still rank second among the younger generation of magicians in Formation!"
"Second?"
The master of the Divine Stone Workshop didn't say much, but just looked at Wang Ye's Formation.
He felt.
That this time, Wang Ye might not just be second.
The time for setting up the Formation quickly passed.
"Gather!"
The referee's voice sounded.
As soon as the referee's voice emerged, Wang Ye and Ye Chen were directly ejected from the place where they set up the Formations, unable to continue building their Formations anymore.
With Wang Ye's capabilities, when that force wanted to eject him, he could actually resist, but Wang Ye felt it was unnecessary to do so.
"Next, the two will enter each other's Formation to dismantle it."
The referee's voice came again.
The master of the Divine Stone Workshop and the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters continued observing from above, seemingly deciding to stay and watch the excitement.
The original positions arranged for them could no longer satisfy them.
"Here he comes, here he comes, Wang Ye is going to lose next."
"I could tell from Wang Ye's furrowed brows while setting up the Formation that he put in a lot of effort, but unfortunately, Ye Chen's prowess in Formation is much stronger, this time Wang Ye can only fail."
"Even if Wang Ye fails this time and becomes second, it's nothing. Remember when Ye Chen first joined the Sorcerer's Headquarters competition, he also ended up as the second of that year. After all, those in the lead have had a few more years, that's an advantage."
From above, the audience speculated.
Their words carried a sense of pity for Wang Ye being only second, yet also admiration for Ye Chen.
But these spectators knew that though Ye Chen might win first place in this competition, next year Wang Ye might take the first place.
Unless unexpected events occur.
...
Wang Ye entered Ye Chen's Formation.
On arriving in Ye Chen's Formation, Wang Ye glanced around and was about to start dismantling it but couldn't help drawing a sharp breath after further inspection.
The Ye Family is truly skilled in Formation.
And Ye Chen.
Truly worthy of being a member of the Ye Family.
Just from a brief glance, one can see the ingenuity within these Formations.
All Formations are interlinked, one following the next.
Attempting to dismantle any part of it involves dismantling all others, making the entire Formation united.
If magicians tried to dismantle it recklessly without controlling adjacent areas, they'd be directly attacked by the Formation.
Of course.
This type of Formation has a drawback.
Since it's a united Formation, dismantling the entire Formation only requires finding one Array Key Point.
Once the Array Key Point is found, the whole Formation can be easily destroyed.
Extract the Array Key Point.
And the entire Formation collapses like unsupported blocks.
"Array Key Point...where is it?"
Wang Ye started to ponder.
Above.
The head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters spoke to the master of the Divine Stone Workshop beside him: "Looks like Wang Ye saw the ingenuity of Ye Chen's Formation right from the start, this ability alone suggests Wang Ye will achieve great things in Formation."
"More than that."
The master of the Divine Stone Workshop said, "I even feel Wang Ye might actually break Ye Chen's Formation."
The head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters stared at the master in shock, surprised at his confidence in Wang Ye.
"Wanna bet?"
"Sure."
Facing the head's proposal, the master was unflinching, saying: "I recently acquired a Jade Spiritual Ganoderma, if you win, I'll give it to you."
"Deal."
The head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters said, "If you win, you can propose anything related to magicians, and I'll agree."
"Alright."
The master readily agreed.
Glancing towards Wang Ye.
The master mused.
I'm betting on Wang Ye's victory.
If Wang Ye loses, I'll have to give the Jade Spiritual Ganoderma extracted from raw stones to the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters.
If Wang Ye wins.
Then I'll gain an opportunity.
No matter the outcome, I won't lose.
...
On Ye Chen's side.
Observing Wang Ye's Formation, Ye Chen smiled and stretched out his hand, breaking a part of Wang Ye's Formation.
Crash.
That part of the Formation shattered completely.
Then placing his hand somewhere else.
With a gentle touch, he drew out something from the Formation.
Crash.
Another part of the Formation shattered entirely.
With casual movements, Ye Chen's actions in breaking two parts of Wang Ye's Formation sparked a wave of discussion among the spectators.
"Wow, Ye Chen is truly remarkable, breaking two parts of Wang Ye's Formation so effortlessly."
"Indeed, at this rate, Ye Chen might soon completely dismantle all of Wang Ye's Formation."
"I already mentioned, Wang Ye's Formations appear powerful but are mostly superficial."
