Chapter 145 Ch 145: Challenge
In front of a giant building that seemed like a square-shaped tower reaching the sky, there was a huge platform. Many small formations could be seen carved at different places on this huge platform.
These were teleportation formations connected to several Formation God Towers of the cities ruled by overlord forces.
Cloudy Star Region has a total of five overlord forces including Illusory Spirit Gate. And just like Cloudy Star Region, the Star Forest Region also had a total of five Overlord Forces. Floating Cloud Sect, Blood Shadow Tower, and Star Forest Academy were three of those five forces.
And the main cities ruled by these five overlord forces had a Formation God Tower which has a teleportation formation connected to this large platform.
But using these teleportation formations to come and go forth was not that simple. Only if there is something necessary and important can a formation master use these formations for teleportation. Also, these formations were exclusive to only Formation Masters.
Currently, an old man was guarding the platform filled with formations. Actually, it could be said that he was sleeping by laying over a pillar at the corner of the platform.
But he immediately shocked open his eyes and looked at one of the formations that suddenly lit up. And the next moment, a young man and a huge demonic beast appeared.
Ye Xiao and Phantom looked around after coming out of the formation and were soon attracted by the huge building.
Mainly the three words on the building attracted their attention the most. These three words were Formation God Tower and they were actually carved using formations.
“Those words formed from Level 6 Formations. This is amazing!”
Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up as he looked at those formations.
“Who are you?”
Suddenly, Ye Xiao heard an old voice. He turned to look at the old man who still had saliva at the corner of his mouth, indicating his deep sleep from a moment ago.
Ye Xiao had to admit that the Formation God Tower was really an even more powerful force than overlord forces. It is because this old man was the first person Ye Xiao met after coming here and he was already a Minor Saint Realm warrior.
“Hello Elder, the name is Ye Xiao.” Ye Xiao greeted the old man in a gentle tone then he pointed at Phantom and spoke, “And he is Phantom, my companion on a journey back to home!”
Then he showed his identity as a Level 3 Formation Master and continued to speak, “I have to go to the Cloudy Star Region. If I normally go, it’ll take me more than half a year. After all, I’ll have to cross two more regions in order to return to the Cloudy Star Region. On the other hand, if I could use the Great Teleportation Formation, I could return to the Cloudy Star Region in an instant.”
“I’ve heard only Formation Masters with important status or those who have contributed greatly to the Formation God Tower could use the Great Teleportation Formation that could cross regions. I’m here to know what should I do in order to use that formation?”
The old man was stunned for a moment then he shook his head, saying, “It is not that easy. You are only a Level 3 Formation Master without any contribution to the Formation God Tower. It’ll take years if you want to be permitted to use the Great Teleportation Formations to cross regions. It’ll be better for you to travel normally. This way, you’ll not have to waste years and could at least go back in about half a year.”
Ye Xiao shook his head. He already knew about this but there was a reason why he came here even after knowing this. It is because he wanted to become a Level 4 or even a Level 5 Formation Master in less than three months.
This way, he could show the Formation God Tower how much of a monstrous genius he is.
At that time, the Formation God Tower will definitely do everything to keep him. He will then put forth the condition to freely travel between several regions as long as he is still in the Land of Morning Stars.
This was what Ye Xiao had planned before coming to the headquarter of the Formation God Tower. .𝒄𝒐𝒎
He said, “I’m here for a challenge.”
“A challenge?” The old man frowned. He could not understand what Ye Xiao was trying to say.
Ye Xiao nodded and cleared what he want.
“I’m currently a Level 3 Formation Master. Do you know how long it took me to become a Level 3 Formation Master from an absolute beginner?”
“How long?” The old man asked curiously.
Ye Xiao smiled and showed him three fingers.
“Three years?”
“No, just three months!”
“What?”
Now, the old man was truly shocked. It is a known matter that even most monstrous geniuses take years to rise from Level 2 to Level 3 Formation Masters. But Ye Xiao actually took only three months to become a Level 3 Formation Master from scratch.
What does it mean?
If this is true, then it means Ye Xiao is a genius that has never appeared in the history of chaos and might never appear in the future as well.
The old man thought Ye Xiao is kidding. How could there be someone who could become a Level 3 Formation Master in just three months? It is impossible.
But then again, when he tried to find clues from Ye Xiao’s serious face, all he could see was a firm attitude and absolute confidence. Not even a sliver of lie or hesitation could be seen in his eyes. It was clear that Ye Xiao did not make things up, instead, he was telling the truth.
But then again, the old man refused to believe Ye Xiao’s words. Even so, he asked, “And…?”
It was clear the old man want to know what Ye Xiao’s challenge was.
Ye Xiao smiled and spoke, “My challenge is becoming a Level 5 Formation Master in three months as long as there is someone to teach me. If I could become a Level 5 Formation Master from Level 3 in three months, I want the Formation God Tower to allow me to use the Great Teleportation Formation to cross regions anytime I want.”
The old man was once again shocked. This time, he once again observed Ye Xiao closely. He could tell that Ye Xiao was not joking.
Since he was not joking it means his challenge is also genuine.
Is it for real?
The old man could not help but question in his heart.
Shaking his head, he muttered, “I’m just an old man guarding the formations. This is not something I could decide!”
Then he looked at Ye Xiao and said, “I’ll send your challenge to the President of our Formation God Tower. Give me your Level 3 token.”
Ye Xiao only nodded his head and gave the old man the token that could prove his identity as a Level 3 Formation Master.
The old man nodded his head and brought Ye Xiao inside the Formation God Tower.
The moment Ye Xiao stepped inside, he appeared in a spacious hall.
The old man told Ye Xiao to wait here and left.
…..
“What? Is that true?”
On the ninth floor of the Formation God Tower, in the president’s office, five old men could be seen standing in shock.
One of the five old men was the President of this Formation God Tower and one of them was the guardian of the platform filled with teleportation formation.
As for the rest of the three old men, they were Level 6 Formation Masters as well as Major Saint Realm warriors.
When they heard the guardian old man explaining Ye Xiao’s situation, they were all shocked.
At first, they also thought that either the guardian old man was joking or Ye Xiao was playing a trick on them to find enjoyment. But when they thought about it again, who would dare to play a trick on the Formation God Tower?
They must be courting death.
Gu Tianhao, the President of Formation God Tower, looked at the guardian old man and asked, “Old Hu, did give me his identity token!”
Old Hu gave Ye Xiao’s token to the President.
The President then did something on the token and the token lit up. Then some kind of details appeared on the token.
After a while, Gu Tianhao looked at another old man and said, “Old Chu, contact the President of our branch in Crystal City and ask him about this Ye Xiao boy. If everything Ye Xiao said is true, then he is someone we could not lose even if he failed the challenge.”
The other three men together nodded their heads. One of them, Old Chu, then drew several lines in the air that soon transformed into a formation. The next moment, the formation produced a water screen that directly connected to the Formation God Tower of the Crystal City.
