"Sorry for the offense."
Xiao Fang cupped his hands and said in a low voice.
As soon as Xiao Fang finished speaking, countless supreme grade spirit stones shot out from Fang Chen's hand and drilled into the ground at lightning speed. Then, countless dazzling rays of light shot out and intertwined with each other. Suddenly, the Profound Rank Formation was completed.
"Hmm."
After realizing this, Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang's faces became extremely solemn.
"Interesting. It's actually a Profound Rank Formation." Xu Yang looked around and said in a low voice.
Being trapped in the Formation did not make Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang panic. They were very calm. Even in the Formation, they were not afraid of the six people in front of them.
"I really didn't expect that there would be an Array Grandmaster among the six of you." Zhang Qiang said gloomily.
"Let's go."
Xiao Fang ignored Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang. With a low shout, he displayed the fiercest and most domineering attack. He Jingwei and the others also joined forces to launch a strong attack.
Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang joined forces to fight Xiao Fang's group of five, while Fang Chen maintained the Formation.
Rumble!
Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang fought fiercely while bombarding the Formation.
After a while, the Formation was on the verge of breaking.
When the Formation broke, Xu Yang sneered and said, "A mere Profound Rank Formation can't trap us."
However, just as he finished speaking, he felt that they were once again trapped in a Profound Rank Formation.
"Chain Formation."
At this moment, even Zhang Qiang was extremely surprised.
If there was an Array Grandmaster among them, there would be nothing to be afraid of. However, this Array Grandmaster actually knew how to arrange a Chain Formation.
It should be known that even some top Array Grandmasters might not be able to arrange a Chain Formation.
"We're in trouble." Xu Yang said in a low voice.
"Fight." Zhang Qiang shouted.
Xiao Fang and the others used the advantage of the Formation to constantly launch sneak attacks on Zhang Qiang and Xu Yang.
Although the two of them were powerful, Xiao Fang and the others were in the dark while they were in the open. With one in the open and one in the dark, it was easy for Xiao Fang and the others to launch sneak attacks.
In the beginning, the two of them were still able to handle it, but as time passed, their faces became even gloomier.
Zhang Qiang's arm was covered with bloodstains. This was the result of a sneak attack by Xiao Fang. As for Xu Yang, there were also some bloodstains on his clothes.
Rumble
Inside the formation, all sorts of powerful auras were intertwined. Fang Chen was outside, setting up chain formation after chain formation.
As long as they could maintain the chain formation, they would eventually win.
Two hours later, Xu Yang's attack severely injured Luo Zhongtian. The latter instantly lost the ability to fight and was forced out of the array chain.
Of course, Xu Yang also paid a great price because of this. One of his arms was almost crippled. Fortunately, his cultivation was strong enough to avoid Xiao Fang's full force attack.
After Luo Zhongtian lost his battle prowess, He Jingwei's side's battle prowess instantly decreased by a lot. However, Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang's battle prowess also decreased by a lot.
Finally, after persisting for six hours, Qing Jingtong caught a flaw in Zhang Qiang's defense and quietly appeared behind Zhang Qiang. The weapon in his hand directly struck towards Zhang Qiang and instantly sent him flying.
This was a turn of events.
Ever since Zhang Qiang had been sent flying, Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang had been suppressed by Xiao Fang and the others. Adding on the power of the Xuan array, the two of them were unable to use their full strength.
"Damnit!"
Zhang Qiang and Xu Yang were both furious, but there was nothing they could do.
After another hour, Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang's battle prowess had decreased once more. At this time, even if they joined hands, they were unable to break the array chain.
Of course, Xiao Fang and the others were also heavily injured and had lost their battle prowess.
This scene was clearly seen by Fang Chen. He transmitted his voice to Xiao Fang and the others, telling them to leave the array chain.
With Fang Chen's help, Xiao Fang and the others were able to leave the array chain in the blink of an eye. Their bodies were battered and exhausted.
Within the array chain, Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang were furiously attacking the array chain.
"Let's take advantage of the fact that they're unable to break the array chain to leave," said Fang Chen.
The Bloody Spear Man had said very clearly that as long as they reached the end of the mountain range within seven days, they would pass the newcomer assessment. So there was no need to defeat Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang.
"Okay, let's go."
Everyone supported each other and hurriedly left the place where the chain formation was.
Not long after, everyone walked out of the mountain range.
At this time, at the exit of the mountain range, there were two figures. One of them seemed to be an Elder of the Five Elements Academy, while the other seemed to be a student of the Five Elements Academy.
"Ice Elder, do you think they will be defeated by Zhang Qiang and Xu Yang?" asked the student in a low voice.
The old man called Ice Elder stared at the end of the mountain range and shook his head. "Let's wait a little longer."
"If Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang join hands, the six of them might not be able to defeat them. There's an eighty to ninety percent chance that they will fail," continued the student.
When the Ice Elder heard this, he shook his head.
He was very clear about Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang's strength. Even if the six newcomers joined hands, they might not be a match for the two of them. Unless they split up, there was still a chance that one or two of them would succeed.
Just as the student finished speaking, there was a sudden movement at the end of the mountain range. Ice Elder's eyes immediately looked in that direction.
"It should be Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang," said the student.
However, when Xiao Fang and the others came out, the student was completely dumbfounded.
"How can it be them?" The student was a little surprised and cried out involuntarily.
"Six people, not one less. Did they escape Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang's interception?" asked Ice Elder in a low voice.
At this time, Fang Chen's group of six staggered out of the mountain range. When they saw that there were people here, they walked towards Ice Elder.
When the six of them walked in front of Ice Elder, Xiao Fang cupped his hands and said, "Senior, you should be an Elder of the Five Elements Academy, right?"
"That's right. I am here to receive you," said Ice Elder.
"Ice Elder, did we pass the newcomer exam?" asked Xiao Fang.
Looking at Xiao Fang and the others' battered and exhausted appearances, Ice Elder was very curious as to how they had managed to defeat Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang.
"Since we were able to reach here, we naturally passed." Ice Elder smiled. "But I'm very curious. Where are Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang?"
"The two students who intercepted us?" asked Xiao Fang.
Ice Elder nodded. Xiao Fang said, "They're still in the mountain range."
BOOM!
Just at this moment, a deafening sound came from the mountain range. Ice Elder's eyes flickered as he stared at the mountain range.
Not long after, two more battered figures walked out of the mountain range. They quickly arrived in front of Ice Elder. When they saw Xiao Fang's group of six, their eyes were filled with fury.
"Xu Yang, Zhang Qiang, how did you end up like this?" asked a student beside Ice Elder.
When Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang heard that, they lowered their heads, their faces filled with embarrassment.
"What happened?" Ice Elder also wanted to know how the six of them had passed the newcomer exam.
"Ice Elder, there's a formation grandmaster among the six of them," said Zhang Qiang in a low voice.
"Even a formation grandmaster wouldn't be able to trap you and Xu Yang," continued the student beside Ice Elder.
"He can set up a chain formation," said Zhang Qiang.
Ice Elder's face was originally expressionless, but when he heard the words' chain formation ', his eyes instantly blazed with desire.
"Is there someone among them who can set up a chain formation?" Ice Elder's burning gaze swept over the six of them as he hastily asked.
Xu Yang nodded heavily when he heard that.
"Who is a formation grandmaster?" asked Ice Elder as he looked at Fang Chen's group of six.
"Fang Chen is a formation grandmaster," said Xiao Fang.
Ice Elder stared at Fang Chen when he heard that. A trace of shock appeared on his face.
He realized that he couldn't see through this man in front of him.
"You can set up a chain formation?" asked Ice Elder as he stared at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen nodded and said, "I know a thing or two."
A trace of a smile appeared on Ice Elder's face. He then laughed heartily and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be someone among the newcomers who could set up a chain formation."
The student beside him was also shocked.
He naturally knew what it meant to be able to set up a chain formation.
Then, he seemed to realize something and turned to look at Ice Elder. Ice Elder's eyes were filled with admiration for Fang Chen.
"What's your name?" asked Ice Elder.
"I'm Fang Chen," said Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, the six of you are now official disciples of the Five Elements Academy. However, before we go up the mountain, I want to ask you something," said Ice Elder.
"Please speak, Ice Elder."
"Are you willing to be my disciple?" asked Ice Elder.
Fang Chen was stunned when he heard Ice Elder's words. He immediately looked at Ice Elder in confusion.
Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang's eyes were filled with envy.
The student beside them couldn't help but exclaim, "Ice Elder, you want to take him as your disciple?"
Ice Elder didn't reply to that student. His pitch-black eyes stared at Fang Chen as he waited for Fang Chen's reply.
"You're really lucky. There are countless students from the Five Elements Academy who want to be Ice Elder's disciple, but Ice Elder has never accepted a disciple."
After the student recovered from his shock, he looked at Fang Chen and said, "Ice Elder is an almighty array master. If you can become Ice Elder's disciple, your future achievements won't be low."
Fang Chen thought for a moment before looking apologetically at Ice Elder. "Ice Elder, I'm really sorry. I don't really understand the Five Elements Academy's situation, so I don't want to be your disciple for the time being."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the student beside him was a little unhappy. "Kid, it's your fortune that Ice Elder is willing to take you as his disciple. How dare you refuse?"
Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang were secretly delighted. Fang Chen had refused Ice Elder's offer. Ice Elder would definitely be angry and teach this ignorant newcomer a lesson.
However, the Ice Elder's reaction was beyond their expectations.
A satisfied smile appeared on Ice Elder's face as he said, "Not bad. You have a firm mind and aren't tempted by external things. If you had agreed earlier, I would have seen through you.
However, I'll still say the same thing. As long as you're willing, you can come find me at any time. "
"Ice Elder," said the student beside him.
