Lu Zhenyang wasn't a good person. Originally, his victory over Kuocang Mountain's Grotto-Heaven wasn't a good thing for me. However, because he promised to concede defeat if he met me, I hoped that he would go as far as possible in the Heavenly Grand Ritual. It would be best if he met me in the arena for the championship.
That way, he would be able to eliminate more than half of the opponents for me and Wangwu Mountain's Grotto-Heaven.
Moreover, at this stage, the opponents were all very powerful existences. Lu Zhenyang eliminated any Grotto-Heaven.
Regardless of whether it was me or the current Wangwu Mountain's Grotto-Heaven, it was indeed a good thing.
The world was truly unpredictable. Who would have known about the things that happened today yesterday?
As one of the ten great Grotto-Heaven, Kuocang Mountain's Grotto-Heaven, I and Lu Zhenyang, who was absolutely irreconcilable, had become temporary comrades. These originally inconceivable things had actually happened today.
As I sighed, Ah Fu closed his eyes beside me and began to recover his dao energy in preparation for the fourth round tomorrow.
The fatty was extremely excited as he rambled on about how he had calculated everything on the arena. He had used the talismans to exhaust his opponent Li Yuan's dao energy and finally used the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation to turn the tables. Towards the end, he even started to show off to me. "How was it? Didn't I say that my Nine Bends Yellow River Formation is amazing?
What happened last night was an exception. That big dog of yours is too amazing. Although it can break any formation, it still has to fight against a normal person. Look, I've basically completely grasped the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. If the people from Xuande Mountain's Grotto-Heaven dare to go up tomorrow, I won't let them have a good time either! "
I originally thought that the fatty had persisted in fighting Li Yuan on the arena to help me vent my anger. I was extremely moved, but after hearing the fatty's words, my surging gratitude had mostly dissipated.
It turned out that this fellow was dissatisfied with how easily his formation had been broken by the Qilin last night. He had risked his life to stay on the arena to prove to me that not only did his formation sound awesome, it was even more awesome when used.
As I joked with the fatty, I waited for the last few matches of the third round to begin.
As the matches started, the conversation between the fatty and I decreased. He knew that I was paying attention to the matches on the arena and was preparing for tomorrow's match. He couldn't help but mutter, "What's there to look at? If we meet, we just have to fight!"
After saying that, he imitated Fu and began to adjust his breath to recover his Dao Qi.
Wangwu grotto-heaven, as the top grotto-heaven, had four true dragon veins. The true dragon energy in the entire grotto-heaven was incomparably dense.
Although this was the venue and not the Holy Zhi Palace that we lived in, compared to the outside world, it was still a precious place for cultivation. Moreover, the fatty was such a lazy person. It was a good thing that he could actively recover his Qi of Dao. I didn't disturb him and let him continue recovering his Qi of Dao.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Fatty's snoring came from beside him.
I smiled and didn't wake him up. I continued to pay attention to the competition in the arena.
The remaining twelve clans would be divided into six rounds to begin the competition. Each round included the Yang God Celestial Master, the Seal Celestial Master, and the Knowledge Earth Master. Out of the three small rounds, two of them would be able to enter the fourth round.
Apart from the Blessed Enclave with deep foundations, some rising stars were finding it increasingly difficult to compete in the arena.
After all, there were only a few Spiritual Mountain Blessed Enclave that had a freak like Lu Zhenyang. Hence, at the end of the third round, there weren't any other Blessed Enclave that managed to enter the fourth round. Those that could participate in the later rounds were mostly the top few clans in the ten major grotto-heavens and thirty-six minor grotto-heavens.
Of course, the Spiritual Mountain Blessed Enclave and Lu Liang Mountain Blessed Enclave were the exceptions.
Although there weren't many battles that day, they lasted for a long time. It wasn't until dusk that the two minor grotto-heavens, whose powers were on par with each other, determined the last person that could enter the next round.
I woke Fatty up and prepared to leave. Fu also bade farewell to me and reminded us to rest well. If we had any instructions, we could just tell the servants in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.
Fatty and I agreed to it and walked towards the Holy Zhi Palace.
Although so many unbelievable things had happened today, Fatty had given me a pleasant surprise.
He had completely mastered the Yellow River of Nine Bends Formation.
If it was in the past, it wouldn't be considered much, but the situation was different now.
Fu's power wasn't considered to be at the peak among the Yang God Celestial Masters. I was the one that had the most confidence in the three battles. Now that Fatty had completely mastered the formation, he could be considered to be a stable point in the following battles.
Even if either Fu or I made any mistakes in the future, it wouldn't affect us entering the next round of the competition.
Speaking of which, the elder in Fatty's sect that had created the formation was worthy of being called a monstrous genius. Fatty was able to set up the formation at the perfect realm of the Glorious Consciousness realm. In terms of attainments in formations, he could be considered to be an unparalleled genius. However, I couldn't let Fatty know about this. If he knew, his tail would be raised to the sky.
As for Xuande Grotto-Heaven's Zhao Hao's methods, it wasn't something that I was worried about. Since I had discovered his conspiracy, I just had to be on guard in the following battles.
As the saying goes, when the righteous are one foot high, the devil is ten. In the end, it mainly depended on our strength. As long as we were strong enough, Xuande Grotto-Heaven's little tricks would be useless.
When we returned to the Taoist Palace, Fatty was sleepy again. He didn't even want to eat dinner. After saying goodbye to me, he was about to go to his bedroom, but I called him back.
Fatty looked at me, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said shyly, "What's up?
Did you see my performance today and find that your admiration for me is like a surging river? Are you going to ask me for my autograph, or do you want to hug my thigh? "
This guy …
I scolded him with a smile and asked Fatty to sit down next to me. Then, I said, "Don't talk nonsense. I just want to tell you about the Wang family's restoration of the formation."
This was what I had promised Officer Wang yesterday. I should have told Fatty about it, but I came back too late yesterday, and Fatty was already asleep. Today, because of the cooperation between Xuande Grotto-Heaven and Sanhuang Well Wonderland, I had wasted a lot of time in the arena. That's why I had waited until now.
Before I could finish, the fat man jumped up from his chair and shouted, "Officer Wang asked you to ask me for help, right?
No, I'm a man of principle. If I say I won't help him, I won't help him! "
Just as I thought, Fatty didn't like Officer Wang, so it wouldn't be easy to persuade him to help Officer Wang repair the formation.
But I wasn't in a hurry. Fatty had a sharp tongue, but he had a soft heart. He didn't have a big grudge against Officer Wang, and it was just because of the way I addressed him.
I smiled and said, "Officer Wang didn't ask me to come here to persuade you. I took the initiative and said that you could help me."
Fatty couldn't help but put on a pitiful face and said to me, "Third Baby, you've changed!
You weren't like this before!
Have you forgotten the friendship between us? Have you forgotten the promise we made when we were stealing sweet potatoes in the mountains? No matter who was caught by the Lord, we were not to betray the other and we were to protect the other party?
How long have you known Officer Wang?
What did the two of you do together?
You've only known him for less than a year, and you're already speaking up for him. You used to help me. You've changed, Third Baby! "
Fatty told me all the things that had happened when we were kids. When he stopped, he looked at me with a pitiful face.
I knew his character. The more he acted like this, the more likely it was.
Perhaps Officer Wang had informed the Xuande Grotto-Heaven and given me the talismans, which had reduced Fatty's hostility toward him. That was why he said that.
As for why he was acting like this, it was because he wanted me to give him a way out of this embarrassing situation.
After understanding these things, I felt more confident.
I sat up straight and said to him, "Fatty, I'm not asking you to help Officer Wang. I'm asking you to teach them.
There was a problem with the formation of Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. Wang Can found half a book in the library and gathered all the people who knew how to set up formations in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, but the situation still did not improve.
Think about it. You've studied formations systematically in the Divination School, and you're a peerless formation genius. You're definitely better than those monks who don't have much experience.
If you go there, you'll find a clue at first glance. Then, under your leadership, the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven's formation will be repaired.
At that time, let alone Officer Wang, the entire Wangwu Grotto-Heaven will owe you a big favor. What will Officer Wang dare to say when he sees you in the future?
At least, he will respect you as much as he respects me … "
After listening to me, Fatty couldn't help but smile.
I looked at him and felt that there was a chance. I was about to continue.
However, right at this moment, Fatty opened his eyes and wore a disgusted face. "Don't give me that!
It's your dog that broke Officer Wang's protective formation. You want to apologize to him, so you asked me to help you. Third Brother, you've really changed! "
When I heard the first two words, I wondered when Fatty had become so principled.
However, when I heard the second half of his sentence, I understood. Officer Wang had helped the fatty today, but the fatty still had a knot in his heart. Even though I had told him that I had repaired the formation, he still couldn't get over it. That was why he had found an excuse to convince himself that he had helped me. In this way, he could tell me that he wasn't helping the kid from the Wang family, but he was helping him.
