"Kid, is your formation really stronger than the previous one?"

Watching the four of them go in, the Wine-crazed nervously looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Master, I know what you're thinking. Honestly, my formation skills are not as good as yours."

"Not as good as mine? Then you..."

The Wine-crazed was anxious; he had bet his most precious wine gourd!

"Master, do you know why Changlin Academy chose this location?"

Jiang Chen interrupted the Wine-crazed.

"Because it's peaceful here, and the eight peaks form a natural array formation. By guiding it with formations, a powerful formation can be set up!"

The Wine-crazed frowned and spoke softly.

"It's not just the eight peaks; this valley is actually also a natural secret array."

Jiang Chen gently shook his head.

"This valley is also a natural formation?"

The Wine-crazed looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "I used formations to activate this natural array, and its power is stronger than the one you originally set up."

"Is that so! You kid, you scared me to death! Next time, finish your sentence before speaking."

The Wine-crazed patted his chest, his eyes turning: "Kid, if you control the formation, how long can you trap those four guys?"

"I don't know how deep their understanding of formations is, nor do I know how strong they are, so I can't really say!"

Jiang Chen laughed bitterly.

As for cultivation, Jiang Chen has been exploring on his own till now. He hasn't yet understood the differences and characteristics between each realm, let alone estimating the strength four Unity Realm Stage experts can unleash!

"In that case, go control the formation and try to keep them here as long as possible."

The Wine-crazed spoke softly.

"Alright."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Master, let me first tell you how to exit the formation."

"No need, I'll also try out the power of your formation. Just go ahead, don't worry about me!"

The Wine-crazed waved his hand.

"This... alright then! Master, be careful, don't get lost in there!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and flashed into the mist.

"Brat, you think you can confuse me?"

The Wine-crazed pursed his lips and stepped into the mist.

...

In mid-air at the narrowest point in the center of the valley.

Jiang Chen hovered a thousand meters above, looking down at the mist below, which now filled the entire valley, even covering several thousand meters above it.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and in his mind, the Town Soul Stele vibrated, emitting a profound power that shot into Jiang Chen's Divine Soul.

Swish!

Jiang Chen's vision cleared suddenly, and he could see the entire valley. Dense six-colored threads appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.

The Wine-crazed and the others all started from the center of the valley, which was directly below Jiang Chen's position.

At this moment, the refined gentleman had advanced nearly a hundred meters, facing the direction of the valley's exit.

The wizened elder, the cold man, and the beautiful woman had only advanced thirty to fifty meters. Judging from their directions, it was clear they were influenced by the Maze Formation.

At this moment, all four stopped, seemingly searching for the flaws in the Maze Formation.

The Wine-crazed was the only one still moving; he started last but had already walked over eighty meters, only a dozen meters away from the refined gentleman, maintaining a constant speed.

Whoa!

Suddenly, a flash of light in the valley caught Jiang Chen's attention. The beautiful woman had touched a thread, causing a six-colored light to shine. She stopped moving, spun around, and came to a halt.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, understanding that the beautiful woman had touched a connection between the Formation Eyes, changing the formation and altering the pressure of the Great Dao within, affecting her probing.

Hmm?

As expected of someone who formed formations with Master.

Glancing at the refined gentleman, Jiang Chen showed a hint of surprise.

When the Wine-crazed passed within three meters of the refined gentleman, the refined gentleman suddenly moved to catch the Wine-crazed.

"Jeez, you scared the living daylights out of this old man!"

The Wine-crazed's shout echoed through the valley, but aside from the refined gentleman in front of him and Jiang Chen, the other three seemed not to hear.

"Two Array Masters together, let's add a little spice for them!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, produced a Spirit Stone, and tossed it.

Buzz!

When the Spirit Stone reached a connection point of the threads, it vibrated and vanished, causing the valley's formation to change again.

"Hmm? Is your disciple controlling the Maze Formation?"

The refined gentleman spoke softly, facing the mist.

The mist in the valley obstructed view, but since the refined gentleman had grabbed the Wine-crazed, he naturally knew his position.

"Headmaster, if the five of us old fellows get trapped in this Maze Formation by that kid, we'd be the laughingstock!"

The Wine-crazed's voice sounded behind the refined gentleman.

"Even the direction of the sound changes; this Maze Formation truly is impressive!"

The refined gentleman's words carried a hint of admiration.

"How about it? After all, he's my disciple!"

The Wine-crazed's proud voice came from the gentleman's left side.

"Alright, don't get too proud yet, let's break the formation together or we'll really lose face!"

The refined gentleman spoke softly.

"Alright!"

The two reached a consensus and began working together to break the formation.

Jiang Chen, above, heard their conversation, his eyes flickered with amusement as he flashed towards the valley exit.

At the valley exit.

"Wu Hen, quit playing games, hand over the Wooden Origin Pearl."

Yun Tao looked at Jian Wuheng with a face full of smugness.

A trace of reluctance appeared in Jian Wuheng's eyes as his Space Ring glimmered, revealing a vibrant green pearl in his hand.

Swoosh!

Yun Tao hastily reached out to snatch the Wooden Origin Pearl, afraid Jian Wuheng would regret it.

"Yun Tao, you don't even cultivate the Wood Path, how about I trade a Golden Origin Pearl for it?"

Jian Wuheng looked at the Wooden Origin Pearl in Yun Tao's hand, smiling sheepishly.

"No trade, I need it."

Yun Tao refused decisively.

"What need do you have? You don't cultivate with it, let's trade!"

"No trade!"

"Two Golden Origin Pearls for one Wooden Origin Pearl!"

"No trade!"

...

Zhang Qian watched the bargaining duo, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Who in Changlin Academy didn't know Yun Tao, the cold, heartless swordsman, kept everyone at a distance, nor did they know the elegant and unrestrained swordmaster Jian Wuheng.

Witnessing these two core students bickering was a rare sight indeed.

Swish!

A figure leapt out of the valley, landing beside Yun Tao and the others.

"Junior Brother, why are you out?"

Yun Tao glanced at the fog-filled valley, puzzled.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Master and the others are challenging the formation, nothing for me to do inside so I came out."

"What?!"

Jian Wuheng and the others were instantly dumbfounded.
