535 Let Me Teach You (2/2)
”I really have gained greatly this time. Such kind of cultivation method is of great help to my practice!”
After they had come to their sense, there were waves of admiration and exclamation around Zhou Bao.
Almost all of them had forgotten that they had laughed at Zhou Bao and, as they looked at him, something different could be seen from their eyes. Especially those who had just mocked Zhou Bao. They all looked quite embarrassed.
Of course, there were some people who thought they were smart. They began to fix their eyes on the Transmitting Formation under Zhou Bao's feet after they had comprehended Zhou Bao's explanation. But soon after, tragedies took place successively.
”Ouch!”
”Ow!”
”Plop!”
A sound similar to objects falling down started bursting around the room. Eighty percent of the people present fell down and looked as if they were drunk. Only three people stood straight; they were Chen Shoubai, Yan Yuntian, and Elder Chen. They were fine because they hadn't looked at the Transmitting Formation.
”Zhou Bao of Yunzhou, it had never occurred to me that you would get the hang of the Law of Space. I really respect you!” Chen Shoubai took a deep look at Zhou Bao and sighed. He said nothing and directly entered the Transmitting Formation. Yan Yuntian and Elder Chen both gave a wry smile and stepped into the formation successively.
As for Chen Shoubai's disciples and subordinates, they had not yet recovered from the impact of the formation. With their spirits being shaken and legs feeling numb, most of the people were so feeble that they could not even stand up due to the powerful impact.
”Yuanfeng, Yuangu, we'll go first. After you two recovered, you shall send them to our destination!” Chen Shoubai created an Incantation Gesture with his two hands in the Transmitting Formation to launch it.
Zhou Bao noticed that Chen Shoubai's hands stopped for a while as he was making the Incantation Gesture. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It seemed that Chen Shoubai had been affected by him as well. He could have only made this Incantation Gesture by copying it slavishly before, but now, after Zhou Bao's explanation, he had a very deep understanding of the Law of Space. Therefore, when he utilized this Incantation Gesture, he would inevitably recall the principle of it and feel the power it represented. Therefore, he took more time making the gesture than he used to.
”Excuse me!” Chen Shoubai was also aware of his mistake and could not help but laugh bitterly. As the Transmitting Formation shone, he said to Zhou Bao, ”Originally, I had little hope for His Majesty to become the candidate for Human Emperor, but now the possibility is something to be taken into consideration. If you can defeat Senior Grand Tutor Hong, you'll very likely obtain the position of the candidate for Human Emperor!”
”Senior Grand Tutor Hong?” Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes and added, ”Do you mean Senior Grand Tutor Hong of the Li dynasty? I've heard of him, but I don't know much!”
”Originally, Senior Grand Tutor Hong ought to be the Family Head of the Hong Family in the Divine Wind Palace. With a mighty power, he is equal to a Lord of Heaven. He is not only the Senior Grand Tutor of the Li dynasty but an important figure in the Divine Wind Palace as well. He failed to be the lord of the Divine Wind Palace, a position that he has contended for with Yu Taixu. His loss was not because he was too weak but because the Hong Family was inferior to the Yu family. After that failure, he renounced his family and gave up the position as the Family Head. Then, he set off for an adventure to the Li dynasty and became the Senior Grand Tutor Hong we know now!”
”You must be kidding me. The Li dynasty is a secular dynasty and I was told that anyone who has reached the Mysterious Realm could not interfere in the affairs of the secular world. Don't tell me that the one who was qualified to vie for the position of the lord of the Divine Wind Palace haven't reached the Mysterious Realm, will you? As you have said, he is equal to a Lord of Heaven!”
”Just like you now, Senior Grand Tutor Hong is at Level Nine. However, he has killed a Lord of Heaven. So, he is technically equal to one of them!”
”Has he really killed a Lord of Heaven? With a Level Nine Cultivation?” Zhou Bao looked affected all of a sudden and in his heart, he cursed, ”What a damned terrifying talent!”
Senior Grand Tutor Hong's strength was indeed terrifying. Zhou Bao himself had also killed a Lord of Heaven in a face to face encounter with a fairy weapon and some Highest Heaven Celestial Devices, but he had taken advantage of the geographical situation. The entire Azure Secret Area and the Jade Plate of Fate were in his possession. After a hard fight, he finally won by a neck and killed Yu Taicang. If Zhou Bao was asked to fight Yu Taicang in other places, the chances he would win were quite slim, or we could just say that he would have no chance of winning. The only way for him to survive would be to escape. He never expected that Senior Grand Tutor Hong would be so powerful as to kill a Lord of Heaven face to face with just a Level Nine cultivation. Of course, such a man was worth visiting.
