"Elder Wine-crazed, shall I bring him out?"

Jian Wuheng spoke again, having lost any hope that Jiang Chen could get out of the valley.

"Master, don't make it difficult for Junior Brother!"

Yun Tao also advised, tracing a hand in the air and a golden orb appeared in his palm, as if about to hand it to Jian Wuheng.

"Do you really want to lose that badly?"

Wine-crazed spoke softly, his gaze toward the valley growing brighter.

Yun Tao was momentarily stunned and looked at Wine-crazed in confusion.

"Your Junior Brother... is truly a Formation genius!"

Wine-crazed's eyes shone brilliantly as he looked at Jiang Chen in the valley, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise and joy.

All three of them turned to look at Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was still walking back and forth between the walls, but now he had reached the central position of the valley.

The entire valley was nearly a thousand meters long, at its widest point over fifty meters wide, and at its narrowest just a few meters, while its height reached nearly five thousand meters. It was a narrow, dark corridor, and Jiang Chen was currently standing at the narrowest central point.

"This... he hasn't done anything besides touching a few stone walls, has he?"

Zhang Qian looked at Wine-crazed in bewilderment.

"That kid touched twelve stone walls."

Wine-crazed's tone carried a hint of excitement.

"Twelve? Does... that have any use?"

Jian Wuheng asked in confusion.

"Twelve!?"

Yun Tao suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in surprise, raising his hand to gesture toward the direction of the valley: "From the valley entrance to the current position where Junior Brother is... has he found half of the Formation Eyes!?"

"Yes! He has found half of the Formation Eyes!"

Excitement overflowed from Wine-crazed's eyes: "In just a quarter of an hour! In that time, he found half of the Formation Eyes of the entire Maze Formation. Now, it's not about whether this kid can pass through this Maze Formation, but whether he can break it!"

"Break this Maze Formation? How is that possible!"

Jian Wuheng exclaimed in shock, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.

Although on the Canglan Continent there isn't a clear classification for Array Masters, when it's necessary to compete among them, it's still possible to discern their strength.

If using the same Formation to test Array Masters, their rank can generally be divided into three levels. One level involves knowing how to breach formations, where breaching involves finding the path to safety within the Formation, which is the simplest method.

The second is breaking formations, which requires a higher understanding of the Formation. Breaking formations is a level above merely breaching them, needing ten times more insight into the Formation.

The most remarkable is the third, the ability to set formations!

Setting formations requires considerable understanding, and an Array Master capable of setting formations can truly be called a 'Master'. Their understanding of formations allows them to teach others.

An Array Master who independently sets a Formation can navigate similar level and type formations at will, easily breaching or even breaking them!

"Impossible!"

Jian Wuheng, despite never studying formations, knew breaking formations was extraordinarily difficult, much harder than just breaching them.

"Our academy's Maze Formation can't even be breached alone by Senior Ning Yuan! He's a Virtual Refinement Realm Array Master who can lay a Formation that withstands Void Refinement Realm experts! Could Junior Brother Jiang's array skills be superior to Senior Ning Yuan's?"

Zhang Qian exclaimed in complete shock.

"Just watch, just watch! If Young Jiang can really break the Formation, our Changlin Academy's Array Collection Pavilion won't gather dust anymore!"

Wine-crazed spoke excitedly, his eyes fixed intently on Jiang Chen in the valley.

Yun Tao's breathing grew even more rapid.

Though the Canglan Continent didn't highly regard Array Masters, a master in formations was exceedingly vital for any force. Over the past century since the establishment of Changlin Academy, it remained uninvaded due to Wine-crazed's installation of a formidable Killing Array, one even Late Integration Realm powerhouses dared not breach!

When the array was newly set, for certain reasons, Changlin Academy had offended a top Mingqian Realm force, which secretly conspired with over a dozen Integration Path powerhouses to surprise attack Changlin Academy.

However, due to early warnings from the array, Changlin Academy was well-prepared, and when the enemy attacked, Wine-crazed manipulated the great array, outright eradicating several mid-stage Integration Path powerhouses and trapping three late-stage powerhouses.

Afterward, using the array to split the three, the academy's powerhouses crushed them one by one, annihilating all Integration Path powerhouses.

That battle greatly elevated Changlin Academy's reputation and made the Mingqian Realm's major forces never again underestimate this faction focused solely on imparting knowledge!

Under the focused gazes of everyone present, Jiang Chen, who stood in the valley center for a moment, suddenly took out a Spirit Stone and casually tossed it toward several positions.

Buzz!

As Jiang Chen threw the Spirit Stone, the clear valley in the sight of Wine-crazed and others was suddenly filled with fog, yet the mist lasted only an instant before vanishing.

The oppressive feeling within the valley vanished, and before their eyes, the valley appeared more real to Wine-crazed and the others.

"It's, it's broken!"

Yun Tao exclaimed in astonishment, his mouth wide open, once he realized the before-and-after change in the valley.

"Haha... good! Well done, young man!"

Wine-crazed laughed out loud, utterly delighted.

Jian Wuheng and Zhang Qian stood dumbfounded, blankly staring at Jiang Chen in the valley.

"What's, what's he doing now? Is he... digging Spirit Stones?"

Yun Tao's eyes suddenly showed a hint of astonishment.

Wine-crazed's laughter abruptly stopped, his eye twitching, as Jian Wuheng said with a wry smile, "Why is he digging Spirit Stones? Is he that desperate?"

In the valley.

After breaking the Maze Formation, Jiang Chen didn't leave but instead approached a stone wall, inspected it briefly, took out a Spiritual Divine Weapon from his ring, and harshly thrust it into the ground, bringing up a Spirit Stone.

"High Grade Spirit Stone?"

Jiang Chen looked at the Spirit Stone in his hand in surprise and muttered in confusion, "Why use High Grade Spirit Stones for a setup, why not use Supreme Grade Spirit Stones?"

With curiosity, Jiang Chen continued digging and grumbled while doing so, "Too wasteful, setting up so many spirit stones just for such a flawed Maze Formation, truly extravagant!"

In the blink of an eye, with Wine-crazed and others watching in a daze, Jiang Chen had a pile of over a dozen High Grade Spirit Stones at his feet.

"Why do you break our Changlin Academy's grand array, is it to form a life-and-death vendetta with us?"

A loud shout came from within the valley.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Four figures appeared in the sky, each staring sternly at Jiang Chen, who continued his digging below.

Jiang Chen looked up in surprise.
