The next morning, after I got up, someone brought me breakfast. I asked Fatty and Tong Tong to join me. After breakfast, we went to the venue of the Allheaven Grand Competition.
Today was the third round of the Allheaven Grand Competition. According to the rules, Fatty and I had to participate in the competition. However, Officer Wang was busy dealing with the formation yesterday, so he didn't tell me who our opponents were. Anyway, it wasn't important. With Ah Fu and my strength, we wouldn't meet any opponents before the fifth round. We just needed to stay calm.
After walking for a while, Fatty asked about what had happened last night. I roughly told him what had happened last night. Fatty shouted, "Third Baby, you have to count me in! Ye Pianpian and I are good friends. Let's go together!"
I nodded, agreeing with him.
Although we hadn't decided when the plan would be carried out, we would have to wait until Lu Zhenyang and I were done.
At that time, Fatty would have the Demon Refining Gourd. Even if we ran into the old president on the island and our plan was exposed, as long as we hid in the Demon Refining Gourd, the old president wouldn't be able to find us no matter how powerful he was.
After talking about this matter, I asked about the formation experiment. This time, the fatty didn't say anything and showed a defeated expression. Tong Tong chuckled and told me the whole story.
It turned out that not long after I left, Fatty had finished setting up the formation.
He shrank in the protective shell of the array formation and said to Tong Tong with a proud look on his face, "Tong Tong, you have to listen carefully to what Brother Tiger is going to say next, and then I will tell it to you word for word. Ha, that big dog next to you.
The formation I just set up is the one researched by our Zhanyan Sect's ancestor. It's called the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. Once it's activated, yellow smoke will spread for 300 miles, and its defensive power will be as endless as the Yellow River.
Back then, the Elder Ancestor had set up this formation when he was at the early stage of the Heavenly Master Realm. He had stopped three Grand Cultivators who were at the peak of the Seal Realm. One of them had accidentally barged in and had his cultivation base cut off, cutting off his path of cultivation.
Tell Doggy to be careful. If my cultivation is cut off by my formation, don't blame me! "
Tong Tong was simple-minded and could not tell how much of the fatty's words were true and how much was false, so he told Yu Qilin everything.
Unexpectedly, when the Qilin heard this, it only raised its head and snorted. It raised its four hooves and created a cloud out of thin air. It slowly rushed into the fatty's formation.
Fatty was delighted to see this. He formed a seal with his long hands and activated the array. He spoke to the incoming Qilin again. "Be careful, Big Doggy. Although I'm a perfected Glorious Consciousness cultivator, this is the first time I've set up this Nine Bends Yellow River Array. I'm not familiar with it. If I can't control it and accidentally cripple your cultivation, don't cry in front of me!"
Tong Tong said that the matrix was indeed magical. After Fatty activated it, yellow smoke was really produced. Although it was a terrifying three hundred miles, it still filled half the hall of the Doctrine Palace.
The Qilin's competitive spirit was aroused by the fatty, and he no longer held back. He suddenly sped up and turned into a ball of white light under the auspicious cloud, directly rushing into the yellow smoke. In less than three seconds, there was a crisp sound in the hall.
Then, the yellow smoke slowly dispersed, revealing the fatty who was being stepped on by the Qilin.
Tong Tong chuckled and stuck his tongue out at the fatty. Even I couldn't help but laugh.
The fatty's face turned red and he said unhappily, "This time, it's my fault for not being well-prepared. It's not that the formation is bad. Give me some more time. When I've fully grasped the Nine Bends Yellow River Array, I'll try it again. That Doggy definitely won't be able to break my formation!"
Hearing that, I stopped laughing.
Originally, I had asked the fatty to set up the formation to test the Qilin's power. The results of the experiment were out. It had indeed proven that the Qilin had the ability to break the formation, but it had also aroused the fatty's competitive spirit. I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, from what the fatty had just done, the Nine Bends Yellow River Array at its peak might really be able to spread the yellow smoke for three hundred miles. With his cultivation at the initial stage of the Seal Heavenly Master realm, it was possible for him to resist against three Seal Heavenly Masters at the peak stage.
If he could grasp it quickly and master it while the Heavenly Grand Ritual was in progress, he would be invincible in the Blessed Grotto-Heaven Lands in the competition of the Glorious Past realm.
I looked at the fatty as I pondered. Just as I was about to comfort him, Tong Tong interrupted. She pulled my hand and carefully asked, "Brother, did I make Brother Fat Tiger angry?"
The fatty's behavior was a little extreme. I stopped and pinched Tong Tong's small face. "No, Brother Fat Tiger isn't angry with you. He's angry with himself!"
The fatty also noticed that Tong Tong wasn't right. He hurriedly stopped and adjusted his expression. "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. Brother Fat Tiger is angry with you.
Quick, come here and give Brother Fat Tiger a kiss. He won't be angry anymore! "
Tong Tong hid behind me and stole a glance at the fatty. She said, "You should be angry. Brother said that men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Then, she said goodbye to me and ran back to the jade bracelet as if she was running away.
This time, I couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing.
We chatted along the way. Not long after, I and the fatty arrived at the competition venue. Before we entered the main entrance, Officer Wang stopped us.
"Officer Wang, what's the matter? Did something happen to the formation?" He shook his head and pulled the fatty and me to a place with fewer people. Then, he stopped and answered, "It's not about the formation. It's about Brother Lin."
About the fatty?
I slightly frowned. Although the fatty was careless, he had never had any conflicts with the people of the Blessed and Heavenly Land. If I had to name someone, it would be Officer Wang. What had happened to the fatty that made him wait for us outside the venue so early in the morning?
The fatty was even more surprised than I was. He took a step forward and asked Officer Wang, "What happened to me?"
Officer Wang looked at the fatty and said respectfully, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Brother Lin, your performance in the competition yesterday was too dazzling, so our opponent today was suddenly changed …"
I finally understood.
Fatty's performance in the arena yesterday was indeed quite spectacular. Since the Heavenly Grand Ritual had been passed down until now, it was unknown how many times it had been used. However, it could be assumed that no one had done what Fatty did, using the power of the array to exhaust his opponent's Qi of Dao to win. It was difficult not to remember.
After hearing Officer Wang's words, I began to worry about the fatty. Although the formation was magical, it took time to set it up. If the fatty couldn't grasp the right timing in the arena and lost the match, it would be troublesome.
Since Fu wasn't sure if he could win, the fatty and I had to win every match. We couldn't slack off.
Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether we could keep our first place or not.
Apparently, the fatty had seen through our worries. He patted his chest and said proudly, "What are you afraid of?
So what if they change their opponent? At most, they will be prepared for the formation I set up yesterday.
However, I have many formations. If worse comes to worst, I will change my formation today. Let's see if they can prepare for it in advance. "
Officer Wang opened his mouth as if he wanted to persuade the fatty. However, after thinking about it for a while, he didn't say anything. He took out an envelope and a cloth bag and handed them to me. He said, "This envelope contains the information about our opponent today. I should have given it to the Sage last night, but I forgot about it. I'm giving it to the Sage now. I hope it won't affect the Sage's performance in the competition.
As for this cloth bag … "
Officer Wang suddenly stopped and glanced at the fatty out of the corner of his eye. Then, he said, "The Sage should understand what I mean. I still have something to do with the formation, so I'll leave now!"
After saying that, he told Fatty to be careful and left in a hurry.
I looked at Officer Wang's back and then at the two things in my hand. I couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder Officer Wang was able to keep such a big family in order. He was really meticulous and meticulous.
Although he didn't say why he wanted to give me the cloth bag, from his reaction, I guessed it was about right.
It was for the fatty.
He knew that he didn't have a good relationship with the fatty. If he gave it to the fatty, not only would the fatty not accept it, but he would also think that the fatty looked down on him, which would make their relationship even worse. That was why he gave the cloth bag to me and asked me to give it to him.
Fatty and I are good friends. If I give it to Fatty, he will definitely accept it, but he will definitely not reject it directly.
I opened the bag and saw that it was full of talismans. Moreover, the lowest grade talisman was a scarlet talisman. There were more than ten silver talismans and one gold talisman.
Talismans are commonly used by low-level cultivators. They consume very little Dao Qi, but they are very powerful. When I was in the Earthly Adept Realm, I did not have any Dharma treasures. I relied on these talismans to escape from many strong enemies.
Even though the fatty and the others' methods were heaven-defying, able to see through the mysteries of heaven, there was still an extremely clear flaw, which was that their offensive methods were relatively lacking. If they encountered some powerful cultivators, they could only retreat.
However, with these talismans in hand, even if the opponent was a Celestial Master, he should be able to hold on for some time.
The talismans that Wang Can had prepared were also quite convenient. Most of them were defensive talismans. If he used several of them in a row, it would buy enough time for the fat man to set up the formation.
After seeing the talismans, I tied the cloth bag and put it in the fatty's hand.
As for me.
He tore open the envelope, took out the information inside, and began to study it.
