reax;
Jiu Xu's expression was icy. He was infuriated. He had been planning on humbly asking the flame grandmaster a few things, but his plan had been ruined by Fang Chen.
Furthermore, this brat was still spouting such arrogant words. That infuriated him.
"Brat, you only have two choices now. Apologize or scram!" roared Jiu Xu.
"Correct. This is Heavenly Formation City, not a place for you to behave atrociously. The flame grandmaster has studied formations for so many years. How could he not know how to set up the Cold Flame Formation? Is there a need for you to spout nonsense here?"
After Jiu Xu, another person spoke. His words were filled with fury at Fang Chen.
When everyone heard this person speak, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
"It's the Motian Palace's Immortal Mo. I never thought he would also come to listen to the flame grandmaster's lecture on the Dao of formations!"
The Motian Palace was on the same level as the Nine Formation Pavilion in Heavenly Formation City. They were both powerful sects. The Immortal Mo was one of the peak experts of the Motian Palace's younger generation.
Of course, geniuses like Jiu Xu could only be considered second-tier geniuses within Heavenly Formation City. As for the first-tier geniuses, they couldn't compare to them.
The Immortal Mo didn't understand formations. This time, he had come with Jiu Xu. At first, he hadn't said anything when Fang Chen had spouted nonsense. But now, he couldn't bear it any longer.
The Immortal Mo and Jiu Xu both berated Fang Chen. As for the latter, he was smiling mockingly.
"Whether it's true or not, you can just ask the flame grandmaster." Fang Chen couldn't be bothered to argue with the two of them. After saying that, he turned and left.
This kind of public lecture on the Dao of formations was fine.
Seeing that Fang Chen was about to leave, the Immortal Mo and Jiu Xu both took a step forward. A wild aura erupted from their bodies.
"Brat, you've ruined the flame grandmaster's lecture, and you still think you can leave?!"
"That's right. You can stay here today," threatened the Immortal Mo.
Fang Chen, who was walking, suddenly stopped when he heard the threats of the two. After that, he turned his head and looked at the two of them. His eyes were filled with an ice-cold expression as he coldly said, "Ignorant."
After that, Fang Chen continued to move forward.
Jiu Xu's face darkened when he saw this. He was an Array Grandmaster, an Array Grandmaster on the same level as the Flame Grandmaster. He did not expect this person to treat him this way.
"Damn it!"
Jiu Xu shouted angrily. His body exuded a wild aura as he prepared to attack.
However, at this moment, the flame master, who had been silent all this while, finally opened his mouth.
"Stop!"
The Flame Master was deeply attracted by Fang Chen's words. After listening to Fang Chen's words, a door seemed to appear in his mind.
His understanding of the Dao of Array Formations had deepened.
However, just as he was comprehending the Dao of Formation at a deeper level, he was suddenly awakened by Jiu Xu's scolding. Then, he realized that Jiu Xu and Immortal Among Demons were about to attack Fang Chen.
"Master of Flames," Jiu Xu turned to look at Master of Flames and asked.
"Nonsense."
Master of Flames snorted coldly. After saying that, he chased after Fang Chen.
Many cultivators in the square were in an uproar when they saw this.
"Master of Flames is chasing after that brat? Is what that brat said true?"
"Heavens, where did this brat come from? How could he say such things?"
"Is this brat a hidden Array Grandmaster? Otherwise, he would not know how to set up the Cold Fire Array."
As the disciples were talking, Master of Flames had already caught up to Fang Chen.
"Little brother, please wait." Master of Flames walked in front of Fang Chen and said with a smile.
"Master of Flames, how can I help you?" Fang Chen asked.
"Little brother, are you an Array Grandmaster?" Master of Flames asked.
Fang Chen shook his head, then nodded. "You can say so."
Fang Chen had studied Array Formations for a month with his own efforts. Now, he could be considered an Array Apprentice. An Array Apprentice could only be considered half an Array Grandmaster.
So his answer to Master of Flames couldn't be considered a lie.
Hearing this, the flame grandmaster's face was full of smiles as he said, "Little Brother, after listening to the method of setting up the Cold Fire Array, I was deeply inspired. Thank you very much."
After Grandmaster Flame finished saying those words, he took a glance at Fang Chen. Then, he asked, "Little brother, did you come up with this formation by yourself, or did your master teach you this?"
"My master taught me," whispered Fang Chen.
Master of Flames nodded. The Cold Fire Array's foundation that Fang Chen had mentioned was extremely ingenious. If Fang Chen had come up with it himself, then it would be a bit terrifying.
To be able to come up with such a profound foundation at such a young age, it was hard to believe.
But after hearing that Fang Chen had a master, Master of Flames didn't make a fuss over nothing.
"Little friend, I feel that your understanding of Array Formations is extremely profound. Would it be possible for you to come to my residence for a chat?" asked Master of Flames.
Fang Chen thought for a moment and then said, "That's fine too."
In any case, he had just arrived in Sky Formation City and didn't have anywhere to go. Going to Master of Flames' place wasn't a bad idea.
"Not bad."
Fang Chen muttered to himself for a moment.
"But what?" Master of Flames was very happy to hear that Fang Chen had accepted his invitation. As long as he could interact more with Fang Chen, Master of Flames was confident that he would be able to reach the grandmaster realm soon.
The grandmaster realm was a realm he had always dreamed of.
"There are two people who don't seem to want me to go." Fang Chen glanced at Jiu Xu and Immortal Mo Zhongxian, who were glaring at him from the plaza.
"Them? Just you wait."
Hearing this, the Flame Grandmaster grinned and quickly returned to the square.
"Master of Flames, do you still want to continue lecturing about Array Formations?" asked a disciple.
Master of Flames shook his head. "Today's lecture ends here."
With that, the flame master turned to look at Jiu Xu and Immortal in Devil, and said in a low voice, "From today onwards, that little brother will be my, the flame master's, honored guest. The two of you better restrain yourselves and not cause trouble for him."
Jiu Xu and Immortal Mo Zhongxian had complicated expressions when they heard Master of Flames' words.
"Master of Flames, why is it that when I've tried to visit your residence so many times to ask for your knowledge of Array Formations, you've always refused? Yet an ordinary cultivator like him can go to your residence?" asked Jiu Xu.
"You're doubting my words," said Master of Flames coldly.
"Master of Flames, you're one of Sky Array City's older generation's grandmasters. Although I'm also a grandmaster of Array Formations, I can't compare to you. I just can't accept it. How can someone who's inferior to me be able to gain your favor?" asked Jiu Xu.
Master of Flames shook his head. "You're different."
After saying those words, Grandmaster Flame left the plaza with Fang Chen and headed toward his residence.
After Master of Flames left, the other cultivators also dispersed. However, Jiu Xu and Immortal Mo Zhongxian didn't leave. The two of them stared at Fang Chen's back furiously.
"Brother Jiu Xu," whispered Immortal Mo Zhongxian.
"Damnable brat, he actually dared to ruin my plans. I want him dead!" roared Jiu Xu furiously.
"Brother Jiu Xu, I just secretly checked. This brat's cultivation base isn't very high. If you want to kill him, it'll be as easy as crushing an ant. There's no need to get angry over trash like him," said Immortal Mo Zhongxian with a sinister smile.
"I've always wanted to gain Master of Flames' favor, but Master of Flames has always refused to let me in. I never thought that this brat would take advantage of me. I can't accept this," growled Jiu Xu.
Immortal Mo Zhongxian was silent for a moment before saying, "Since Brother Jiu Xu doesn't want him to live, I'll send people to deal with him."
When Fang Chen was invited into Master of Flames' residence, countless cultivators were envious.
Immortal Mo Zhongxian and Jiu Xu hated Fang Chen to the core. They even wanted to secretly kill Fang Chen. Of course, Fang Chen didn't know any of this.
After staying in Master of Flames' residence for three days, Fang Chen had a rough understanding of the situation.
Compared to Near Water City, Sky Array City didn't have a Three Star Sect. There were only a few top Two Star Sect.
Below the top Two Star Sect were forces like Nine Formation Pavilion and Motian Palace.
The younger generation of Nine Formation Pavilion and Motian Palace was only at the fifth level of the Condensing Reality Realm. They were considered the second tier of the younger generation in Sky Array City. The first tier of the younger generation was basically in the top Two Star Sect.
One day, Fang Chen was resting when Master of Flames suddenly came to his courtyard.
"Brother Fang."
After Master of Flames learned of Fang Chen's name, he had been calling Fang Chen Brother Fang.
"Master of Flames." Fang Chen greeted when he saw Master of Flames arrive.
"Brother Fang, can you explain some of the mysteries of the Cold Fire Array to me?" Master of Flames asked.
Fang Chen nodded and said, "Sure."
In the following time, Fang Chen explained the essence of the Cold Fire Array to Master of Flames.
In the blink of an eye, an afternoon had passed. When Fang Chen finished explaining to Master of Flames, it was already night time.
"Brother Fang, after listening to your explanation, I have benefited greatly. I feel that it won't be long before I can become an Array Grandmaster." Master of Flames was very excited.
"Brother Fang, you have helped me so much. If you need anything, just let me know." Master of Flames said and turned to leave, leaving Fang Chen to rest.
The reason why Fang Chen could help Master of Flames was because he had obtained a book about arrays. He had read some of it, and it just so happened that there was an explanation of the Cold Fire Array.
If Master of Flames asked about other things, Fang Chen wouldn't be able to answer.
"I'll stay here for a while." Fang Chen thought to himself.
The atmosphere for cultivating array formations here was very good. Fang Chen wanted to raise the level of his array formations. The more he came into contact with the Dao of Array Formations, the more Fang Chen realized that arrays played an important role in battle.
