The stolen magic is a bit magical

The Night Demon simply asked a casual question.

The bottom part is completely fried.

A member of the Wilderness Clan suddenly stepped forward: "Are you unwilling to contribute the array crystal pillars and just sending anyone to fob us off?"

“Exactly!” another person stepped forward: “The Li people are playing a clever game by using a lowly, inexperienced brat to impersonate a formation master, hoping to reap the benefits without paying any resources.”

This person has very long ears, clearly belonging to the Long-Eared Tribe.

The long-eared people are the most well-informed.

Their young clan leader suffered a great loss at Mount Lishen, being humiliated by a mere boy from the Litian clan. The marriage alliance had fallen through, which the long-eared clan considered a great disgrace. Whenever they faced the Li and Litian clans, they were in complete agreement: suppress them to the death!
Once the two of them set the pace, the atmosphere of the entire venue shifted accordingly.

Everyone felt there was something wrong with this.

The consensus among all ethnic groups is that for the grand plan of the Netherworld, those with manpower should contribute manpower, those with strength should contribute strength, and those with resources should contribute resources.

Recently, the allocation of resources has become increasingly heavy, and each ethnic group has its own ulterior motives. The Li ethnic group has set a precedent by randomly finding someone to impersonate a formation master. If this trend is not curbed, won't other ethnic groups follow suit in the future?
Who is willing to provide more resources?

Finding someone is so easy!

Down here, it's easy to find not only two-legged people, but even eight-legged people...

On the high platform, facing Ye Gui's obviously ulterior motive-driven question, Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "Senior Ye, do you think there is a necessary connection between age and mastery of formations?"

Night Demon laughed too, his laughter sharp and piercing: "Young man, did your elders ever tell you that formations are profound and complex, and one cannot become a master without a hundred years of hard work?"

This is the real reason why he asked Lin Xiaosu about her age.

Because it involves the laws of formations.

The art of formations is profound and complex; without a deep foundation and a long period of dedicated study, it is impossible to become a formation master.

Lin Xiaosu is only 24 years old, how can she become a formation master?

Lin Xiaosu said, "Did your senior's teachers ever tell you this: In the world of geniuses, time is meaningless!"

The Night Demon's pupils suddenly contracted.

The high platform was shrouded in darkness, as if a curtain had been drawn around it.

Another explosion below.

"How dare you, arrogant fool, be so disrespectful to your seniors?"

"You ignorant fool, do you even know who you're dealing with?"

"Kill him to uphold the rules of the Netherworld!"

The crowd was instantly enraged...

Perhaps only two people have eyes that shine with boundless light...

Li Xueyi cupped her chest in her hands, looking like a lovesick fool for the first time in her life.

In the world of geniuses, time is meaningless!
This is the only sentence that came from his mouth that was absolutely domineering!
He finally showed his brilliance to the masters of the bridge world!
Even when he swept away the clouds and destroyed the desolate tribes with a wave of his hand, he had never shown such sharpness.

She really liked him today...

A soft whisper came from beside her ear: "Miss, don't you think the young master is so dashing?"

"Hahahaha..." On the other side of the high platform, suddenly as if a curtain had been drawn back, a formation platform appeared in front of everyone.

On the array platform, a middle-aged man from the Bearded Clan with a fleshy beard raised his hand and pointed it directly at Lin Xiaosu's nose: "What an ignorant fool! Come here. If you can step onto my array platform even half a step, I will acknowledge you as an array master. If you cannot, I will kill you!"

Lin Xiaosu didn't even look at him; he was looking at Ye Gui: "Senior Ye, is this considered a test?"

"Fine!" Night Ghost's voice was like ice hitting the ground. He was still furious at Lin Xiaosu's obviously disrespectful remark. This ignorant brat dared to say to his face: Did your master tell you...?

How could he, a powerful figure in the fourth realm, tolerate this?
We must crush your arrogance!
"Alright!" Lin Xiaosu turned around and stepped towards the array platform: "Activate the array!"

The Xu tribe formation master raised his hand, and a bronze formation pen appeared in his palm.

With a single stroke, he placed a dot on a disc in front of him.

The formation platform suddenly changed.

Unbelievable changes...

At the edge of the platform, lotus flowers bloomed, each one radiating endless killing intent.

As soon as the formation was completed, there was a chorus of exclamations from below.

"The Thousand Lotus Killing Formation! This is Master Xu's unique killing formation."

"Yes, all the Grandmasters of the Four Realms say that the Thousand Lotus Killing Array, created by Grandmaster Xu by integrating the three ancient wonder arrays, has the potential to break through the three realms and enter the four realms."

"Heavens! A killing formation at the half-step fourth realm, used to test a young man? Isn't that going a bit too far?"

"Who told this kid to be so arrogant? Who does he think he is, daring to act so recklessly in Youyuan?"

"Exactly! What kind of place is Youyuan? All the top array masters in the entire Bridge Realm are here. How dare he say that time is meaningless in the world of geniuses? Isn't that pointing at those seniors and calling them old and incompetent?"

Amidst the murmurs, both Li Xueyi and Jiu'er became nervous.

They had indeed witnessed Lin Xiaosu's demonstration of array formations, which involved repairing the warm array left behind by Li Qing.

This technique is indeed profound, but they have no idea what level his mastery of array formations has reached.

Regardless, the words of those around them still made them tremble with fear.

Because the terms "third realm" and "fourth realm" are too terrifying.

Like cultivation, the path of array formations also has different levels of attainment.

The art of array formations is an unorthodox path, and its value lies in its rarity.

Anyone who cultivates arrays is a darling in a complex place like the Bridge Realm.

A third-realm array master is a grandmaster-level expert who receives VIP treatment when entering any major clan.

Upon reaching the Fourth Realm, one can sit down and discuss matters with the leaders of the various clans.

This master of formations from the Xu clan was named Xumi.

He is also highly renowned in the bridge industry.

Known as the number one person below the Four Realms, he is the one who examines the array formations of Youyuan.

Every time they arrive at Youyuan, they encounter such a formidable obstacle. Will Jiu'er's son-in-law and Xueyi's husband be able to overcome this hurdle and gain Youyuan's approval?

The two women were very nervous, but Lin Xiaosu showed no signs of nervousness whatsoever…

He took a step forward and walked towards the battle platform.

The lotus-shaped array platform pulsed with killing intent, his hair fluttering gently in the wind. He walked step by step, drawing ever closer to this surging killing intent…

His steps remained unchanged.

Always at a steady pace.

The Sumeru on the platform stared at him coldly.

Next, he will touch upon this lurking, murderous intent...

Suddenly, the array brush in Sumeru's hand vanished!
The lotus-shaped killing intent, which was still a foot away from Lin Xiaosu, suddenly shot out like a flame towards the space where Lin Xiaosu was located...

Li Feiyang's expression suddenly changed: "Be careful..."

The words began!
Lin Xiaosu raised her hand!
A bronze array brush touches the void!
With a soft hiss, the killing lotus, like a fire dragon emerging from a valley, split into two sides centered on him.

Lin Xiaosu stepped over and stood on the platform.

The killing intent emanating from the outer lotus still lingered, but it was already behind him.

On the high platform, Night Demon's pupils suddenly contracted.

Below the high platform, there was complete silence.

Have you passed the Thousand Lotus Killing Formation, which is at the half-step fourth realm?

So easy?

Sumi's eyes widened as he stared at Lin Xiaosu standing in front of him, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Lin Xiaosu said, "The Thousand Lotus Killing Formation actually has another variation!"

Sumeru asked in a daze, "What?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "Turn external attack into internal attack! You give it a try!"

With a single stroke of his bronze pen, he seemed to divide yin and yang.

The array platform suddenly changed, and the thousand lotus killing intent that was spewing outwards abruptly turned and shot towards the array platform!
It was shot at Sumeru on the platform.

Sumi's expression suddenly changed. A bronze array plate rose up in his left hand, and a bronze array brush was suddenly pointed out in his right hand.

puff!
The array plate shattered.

Chi!
The brushstrokes shattered.

The next moment, the killing intent of the array struck Sumeru's body directly. Sumeru's whole body trembled, and his fleshy tendrils suddenly grew longer. The killing intent of the array covered his entire body, and his fleshy tendrils turned into blood mist one by one.

His heart was already ice-cold; his life hung in the balance.

Lin Xiaosu raised her hand and pointed the bronze array brush at the array platform in front of her.

The killing intent of the formation vanished in an instant.

Sumeru was covered in blood, like a vengeful ghost that had just emerged from the gates of hell.

A state of utter bewilderment, an endless terror.

"Xumi, I'll spare your life as a warning!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Don't speak recklessly without knowing the other party at all!"

He stepped off the platform.

The entire audience erupted in cheers...

"What do you call that? A counterattack?" someone exclaimed.

"He killed a half-step fourth-realm cultivator with a mere wave of his hand? He's a fourth-realm array master!"

"How is this possible? There are only seventeen fourth-realm array masters in the entire Bridge Realm, and they are all in the inner space..."

"The facts are undeniable, so we can only believe that there are eighteen array masters of the fourth realm in the Bridge Realm..."

Amidst the crowd, Li Xueyi stared blankly at the high platform, seemingly oblivious to Jiu'er jumping around her.

Her mind was in complete confusion.

My God, a Fourth-Realm Array Master?
Is he really a great man comparable to my father?
How could this be?
I was with him not for his status or position, I just liked his face, and I just wanted to have a child with him, to see the sunrise and sunset, the lush grass and flying birds in the world that my brother was obsessed with, to be showered in the apricot blossom rain he talked about, and to feel the endless poetic breeze of the willows.

But right in front of me, he proved his Dao of Formations in an incredibly explosive way!
Suddenly, the platform slowly lit up.

It was as if more than ten night lights had been lit up in the sky, or as if more than ten stars had lit up in the boundless Milky Way.

Lin Xiaosu raised her eyes and stared upwards.

All eyes were focused upwards.

The high platform was originally a tree.

There are branches on the tree.

On a main branch, more than ten leaves lit up.

Each leaf seems to be a starry sky.

There is a person inside each leaf.

They were all dressed as array masters.

The four realm array masters made a collective appearance using array projections.

"Reversing Yin and Yang, the Universe-Breaking Formation?" A voice came from a leaf.

This was a figure whose face was obscured, resembling a celestial being from the heavens, whose voice was deep and penetrating.

"You have a good eye, senior!" Lin Xiaosu bowed slightly.

"Boy, who is your master?" another voice asked, leaning against a large tree and pointing diagonally at Lin Xiaosu below.

Li Feiyang locked his gaze on Lin Xiaosu at a glance, and a voice pierced her ears: "Yin Xuan!"

Yin Xuan!

The Yin Clan formation master was someone his mother had specifically mentioned before she left.

Because the blood of the Yin Clan is black, their main style of doing things is "yin"—scheming against opponents, scheming against friends, and when they get ruthless, they even scheme against themselves.

Lin Xiaosu responded calmly, "Has this junior inquired about your lineage, senior?"

Yin Xuan's gaze turned cold: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, in breaking the formation in Youyuan, the most capable will come first. I won't ask about your lineage, and you don't need to ask me either!"

"What an impudent, ignorant, and disrespectful brat!" Yin Xuan said coldly, "Old Ghost Ye, I do not agree to this child entering the Netherworld!" (End of Chapter)
