“Who are those three people?”
“You don’t know any of the three of them?”
Mu Mian was the unlucky person who had been eliminated by the three of them.
The moment he came out, his gaze immediately landed on the three brothers. He saw that the three of them had targeted another target.
A warm-hearted array master immediately stood up and explained.
“These three guys are famous for being evil. The three of them wear the same pants all day long and drag their tails everywhere they go.”
The person who spoke was burly and spoke with a buzzing voice. His cultivation level was not bad and was almost at the Spirit Transformation realm.
“No wonder. These three bastards are really detestable!”
“Fellow Daoist, you’re eliminated by the three of them, right?”
“That’s right.”
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Mu Mian from Sea City.”
The burly man sized up Mu Mian strangely and smiled. “What a strange name. Could it be that you can control the kapok as a weapon?”
“There are some connections. Then what’s your name?”
“I’m Ping City’s Daniu. I’m a second-year graduate of Ping City’s Formation School.”
“Brother Daniu, do you know what their names are? I have to remember them. It was those three bastards who eliminated me. I have to teach them a lesson!”
Daniu smiled and said, “That’s not a problem. Everyone in Ping City knows the names of the three of them. They’re quite famous in our circle, but it’s not a good reputation.”
“One of them is called Liu Tong. He’s currently a third-grade array master and can be considered to be quite capable. He’s also the big brother of the three of them.
“There’s another person called Zhao Ben. This person is a little stupid. He’s only at the second grade, but he has such stupid strength. If there’s a situation where he needs to fight in close combat, he’ll usually be the one to do it. This is an old brute who doesn’t know how to control his strength. Don’t touch him.
“The last one is called Li Ming, third-grade. However, his third-grade is more or less fake. Everyone says that this kid got away with it, so it’s hard for us to say. However, this kid is smart and has many ideas. He’s the worst!”
Only then did Mu Mian remember that he had indeed seen some emblems on their sleeves just now.
He turned to look at Daniu. Daniu only had two stripes on his arm. He was a grade two array master.
Daniu also noticed Mu Mian’s incident. He smiled honestly and said, “I’m just a grade two array master. I came in to steal some fun, but I bumped into a team as soon as I entered and was chased out.”
Mu Mian nodded and did not say anything. He did not think much of this level two array master.
Although he only had three bars on his arm, his three bars had at least touched the threshold of four bars. He could be considered an outstanding person in Sea City. However, he did not expect to be tricked the moment he entered.
Just as the two of them were talking, a layer of smoke gradually covered the scene.
There were only a few figures inside. The three figures surrounded the man and woman in the empty space.
“That man and woman are only third-grade. I’m afraid they’re doomed now that they’ve been caught.”
Daniu shook his head. He was not very optimistic about the situation of the two people in the image.
In the competition venue, these three people had their eyes on their fresh prey. This man and woman were none other than Yang Tianqi and Hu Qian.
The two of them had the symbol of a third-grade array master on their shoulders. It was probably this symbol that made the three of them target them.
They had two third-grade array masters and one second-grade array master against two defenseless third-grade array masters.
As long as they took them down, they would have one less very capable competitor. This was a good deal.
“Gather!”
As Liu Tong shouted angrily, the smoke in the entire area instantly froze. Immediately after, countless lights flickered from the smoke. They were the spiritual energy drawn from the array flags that had been set up below.
All the spiritual energy gathered into a huge net and covered the two of them.
The two of them were surrounded, but they did not move at all. Instead, they stood there leisurely like two puppets. It was really boring.
“Big Brother, they are scared silly. Hurry up and attack!”
Zhao Ben sent a voice transmission to Liu Tong happily.
Liu Tong’s lips curled into a smug smile. Although his eyes were closed very tightly, he seemed to have seen through everything. His face was filled with confidence.
“There’s no hurry. When our array formation closes, the two of them won’t be able to escape even if they have wings!”
Daniu shook his head helplessly and said regretfully, “This man and woman look quite beautiful, but they’re a little stupid. They should have had some chance to escape just now, but they didn’t even move.”
Mu Mian could not understand why the two of them were trapped in the array formation just now. It was too strange.
Under everyone’s gaze, the array formation in the sky had completely retracted. A golden cage covered the empty space below with no room to escape.
“Haha! It seems that the two of you are also extraordinary people. I didn’t expect you to fall into my hands today!”
After Liu Tong finished setting up the array formation, he was immediately overjoyed. These two people must have collected a lot of tokens just now. They had profited greatly this time.
However, the two people inside did not react at all. They still stood there in a daze like two dolls.
Liu Tong vaguely felt that something was wrong. He took out a huge flag and stretched out his finger. Golden lightning descended from the sky and struck the two of them.
The golden lightning struck Yang Tianqi’s head and split him into two, turning him into charcoal.
“Big Brother! Did you see? You killed these two guys. Do you think we’ll get in trouble?”
Liu Tong’s face was ashen. This competition was just a competition. There was no need to kill anyone. Now that he had killed someone in the State Preceptor’s array formation, what good would it do?
“Why is he so weak?”
Just as Liu Tong was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
At this moment, the scene on the screen changed to the periphery. The three of them were wrapped in white ropes.
Behind Liu Tong stood a handsome boy. It was Yang Tianqi.
Yang Tianqi looked at Liu Tong helplessly.
“Can’t you tell that it’s such a simple substitution spell? You still want to set me up?”
Liu Tong hurriedly opened his eyes and saw the face in front of him. He was so frightened that his soul left his body.
“When did you get out?”
Yang Tianqi couldn’t help but laugh. “Just as you were waiting for the eggs to be cooked.”
“What?”
Liu Tong still did not react. They were waiting for the people inside to break through the second checkpoint and jump out to attack.
However, they did not expect that the second checkpoint was a trap set by Yang Tianqi and that he had tricked the three brothers into it.
Liu Tong waved his hand and pointed, wanting to use his power to break free from the array flag.
However, just as he did this, the spiritual energy in his body was instantly dispersed by a strange power. His body turned cold and he could not mobilize any power.
Yang Tianqi’s face froze, and his smile instantly disappeared.
“I’m talking to you nicely here. Can you listen to me seriously?”
“Hero!” At this moment, Liu Tong did not dare to be stubborn and hurriedly begged for mercy. “Hero, I know my mistake. The three of us brothers just want to make a living. We definitely don’t have any ill intentions. Please let us go!”
“Of course I’ll let you go. But before that, you should know what to do.”
Liu Tong pretended to be stupid and looked at Yang Tianqi blankly. “Why don’t I understand what you mean? We’re all here to participate in the array formation competition and should get along harmoniously. The State Preceptor said so herself. It’s better not to cause trouble.”
“Is that so?”
“Hero, as you can see, as long as we successfully complete the level, we will be able to pass. Everyone will be able to pass. At that time, everyone will be fine. The three of us brothers will definitely remember your kindness!”
Yang Tianqi did not waste his breath on him. He took out a large pile of tokens from his pocket.
Yang Tianqi weighed the few tokens in his hand and looked meaningfully at Liu Tong, who was like a little chick.
“Good lord, you three brothers are really ruthless. You actually caught so many.”
Mu Mian was dumbfounded as he watched this scene outside. Just now, he had thought that this pair would definitely be taken.
However, he did not expect this turn of events to happen so quickly. This man and woman were actually so powerful that they could kill the three brothers with a flip of their hands. Moreover, no one noticed when they escaped.
Although everyone had heard of the Substitute Spell, it was really difficult for the three of them not to notice it since it was so realistic.
“Who are these two people? Are they really third-grade array masters?”
Mu Mian could not help but shake his head.
Daniu’s sigh was what he wanted to say.
If a third-grade array master really had such a concealment ability, he would not have fallen into someone else’s trap like a fool just now. Or rather, even a fourth-grade array master could not do it so calmly.
After Liu Tong’s tokens were completely plundered, Li Ming’s body flashed with red light and vaguely opened a crack in the white rope. He slid out of the rope like a catfish.
Li Ming’s eyes darted to Liu Tong and Zhao Ben.
“Brother, save me!”
Seeing this, Liu Tong hurriedly shouted.
However, Li Ming was a smart person. He identified the situation and ran into the distance without looking back.
One of the brothers was too stupid to be taken away. The other had already been plundered clean of his tokens. It was useless to leave with him.
He still had a chance to escape alone.
However, he had just escaped a few feet when there was a muffled bang. It was as if he had hit a transparent wall. He fell straight down into the empty space below. It was obvious that he was not going to make it.
Hu Qian looked indifferently at the man falling on the ground. She did not expect this guy to still have the intention to escape.
Not long after, two brothers who had been plundered appeared in the square with their unconscious little traitor.
As soon as they appeared, they were immediately surrounded by a few array masters.
Mu Mian was among them.
“Fellow Daoists, let’s talk nicely…”
Liu Tong felt a chill run down his spine. He was terrified as he looked at the array formation masters who had been dealt with by him.
“Is that so?”
“I’m willing to compensate everyone. I’ll definitely satisfy everyone. It was all a misunderstanding just now!”
“The few of us happened to want to have some misunderstandings with you.”
In the viewing room, Li Yuanqing looked at Yang Tianqi and Hu Qian standing on the branch with a smile.
Their cooperation became more and more tacit.
“Tianqi and Xiaoqian should be fifth-grade array masters now. I didn’t expect them to improve so quickly.”
Little Man smiled and said, “Isn’t it all thanks to your nurturing, Master? There are so many natural treasures and the top-notch array flags that you refined with all your heart. With these top-notch Dharma treasures in their hands, the speed of improvement is naturally fast. I think the three of them will soon have the capital to challenge a sixth-grade array master.”
“That’s too early. How many of them are outstanding?”
“Master, you want to ask which of the three of them can take the lead, right?” Little Man pointed at the few images in the center and said, “These few old people with deep attainments in array formations are here this time. I specially invited them to keep an eye on them those young people. They are all genuine sixth-grade array masters.”
Li Yuanqing looked at the center.
The pillars of light that those people were facing were already blue.
They had set up a total of seven checkpoints. Every time they arrived, the color would gradually deepen, and the deepest part was the deep black.
At this moment, these few people had already passed the fourth level very quickly.
As expected, he was not strong enough.
“It seems like it will be difficult for the three of them to win this championship.”
Little Man said indifferently, “Actually, Master, you know very well that as long as these three children can really become serious, it won’t be difficult for them to win the championship. Not only do they have the Dharma treasures personally bestowed by you, but they also have the most intimate cooperation.”
Hu Jiujiu covered her mouth and smiled. “Then according to you, these three little fellows will definitely win the championship this time?”
“Not necessarily. It depends on whether the three of them can cooperate.”
On the screen, Yang Tianqi and Hu Qian arrived in front of an orange screen.
This was their third checkpoint.
In front of them was a very huge light screen that seemed to lead straight to the top of the sky. Every checkpoint would be distributed according to the strength of the people who entered.
At this moment, there were less than a third of the array masters left outside.
Yang Tianqi and Hu Qian slowly stepped into the orange light screen.
