Chapter 110: Strange Array
Fang Yu shook his head and said, “I haven’t taken on a disciple in a long time.”
Jin Deyuan’s expression changed, and he continued to bow his head, “Master…”
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
Li Xiaomo stepped forward and said, “Jin family head, please get up. What you’re doing will upset Mr. Fang.”
Jin Deyuan was taken aback, then raised his head to find that Fang Yu’s expression was indeed not pleasant.
His heart sank, and he immediately stood up, apologizing, “I’m sorry… Master Fang, I was just a moment of impulse…”
“You should find a well-known martial arts master or sect and tell them your daughter is a congenital spiritual body. I believe everyone will be eager to take her as a disciple.”
After saying this, Fang Yu turned and left.
Li Xiaomo bid farewell to Jin Deyuan and followed Fang Yu.
Jin Jiaru remained kneeling on the ground, watching Fang Yu’s retreating figure, blinking her eyes, unsure of what she was thinking.
…
In the car, Li Xiaomo looked at Fang Yu and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Mr. Fang, since you think that girl has such great talent, why…”
Fang Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xiaomo, his gaze somewhat cold.
Li Xiaomo shivered, her face pale, and she dared not speak further.
Fang Yu’s gaze was not directed at Li Xiaomo; he was merely reminded of some unpleasant memories.
Once upon a time, he was also the head of a sect.
At that time, nearly five hundred disciples in the Tiandao Sect were young and in their prime.
However… the overwhelming purple flames erased everything.
Since then, Fang Yu had not taken on any disciples.
…
In Jiangnan, in a courtyard.
Xia Heguang sat in a comfortable chair, holding a cup of tea, looking at Huang Xiaolong in front of him, and asked, “What do you think of this boy?”
Huang Xiaolong’s expression was calm as he replied, “He has strong power, but his martial arts realm is very low; this is his biggest limitation. Of course, at his age, he is definitely considered excellent, but he cannot be regarded as a top genius.”
Xia Heguang pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, “I understand. You can go about your business.”
Huang Xiaolong glanced at Xia Heguang and said, “General, I think you don’t need to look for more young martial artists to join. I can lead the team alone for this competition.”
Xia Heguang squinted slightly and said, “You think you can achieve what results by leading the team alone?”
“At least maintain the ranking from the last competition and strive for a higher position!” Huang Xiaolong replied firmly.
Xia Heguang took a sip of tea and said, “Hmm, I like your confidence. You can go ahead and busy yourself; I’ll think about it some more.”
“Yes!” Huang Xiaolong saluted Xia Heguang and turned to leave.
After Huang Xiaolong left, Xia Heguang called out to Xia Tinghe, who was in the house.
“Tinghe, I had Xiaolong test Fang Yu; you should have been present, right?” Xia Heguang asked.
“Yes, I was right beside him,” Xia Tinghe replied.
“What was the situation like at that time? Tell me about it,” Xia Heguang said.
“Well… At that time, Brother Xiaolong reached out a hand, and then Fang Yu grabbed it… After that, Fang Yu suddenly let go, and Brother Xiaolong stepped back several paces, looking a bit surprised. Finally, Fang Yu got into a black car and left,” Xia Tinghe recounted honestly.
After hearing what Xia Tinghe said, Xia Heguang stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Xia Tinghe asked, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
Xia Heguang looked up at his granddaughter and suddenly smiled, “Tinghe, I have a task for you…”
…
By the time Fang Yu returned to Jianghaishi, it was already 3:20 PM.
He did not go back to school but went straight home.
Wang Yan had recently found a job at a mall and was working during the day, so there was no one else at home at this time.
Fang Yu sat on the sofa in the living room, playing with the storage bag he had just obtained from Wu Baiyu.
Today’s harvest was quite good; in addition to more than twenty monster beast inner cores, he also got a storage bag.
Fang Yu held the storage bag and circulated his true energy.
Then, he could see the space inside the storage bag.
The capacity of this storage bag was not large, about the size of a suitcase.
Inside, there were some talismans, wooden tokens, and other miscellaneous items, which should be things Wu Baiyu needed for his spells.
Fang Yu casually glanced around and suddenly noticed a piece of old, yellowed parchment in the corner of the storage bag.
He took out the parchment.
From the appearance of this parchment, it seemed to have existed for a long time.
The back of the parchment was blank, while the front had some patterns drawn on it.
These patterns included squares, triangles, circles, and many irregular shapes, all intertwined and complex, yet containing some kind of order.
Next to the patterns, there were small characters marked.
However, due to the parchment being too old, these characters had worn down to the point where they were barely legible.
But these patterns looked very much like…
After a moment, Fang Yu reached a conclusion.
This is a formation!
The content on the parchment is a detailed tutorial for a formation!
However, since the characters on it were unclear, Fang Yu had no way of knowing what kind of formation it was.
But judging by the complexity of the pattern’s structure, this formation was definitely not ordinary; it should be a high-level formation with extremely powerful effects.
Could this be the secret technique of the Xuanming Clan?
Did they use this formation to absorb the power of vengeful spirits into the ghost face mask, thereby utilizing the power of the vengeful spirits?
But this formation is so complex; its function shouldn’t be so singular and ordinary.
Fang Yu stared at the parchment, thinking for more than ten minutes, but still had no clue.
His research on formations was originally not deep, and this parchment was too old, with its content vague and increasingly incomprehensible the more he looked at it.
“Sigh, when my master urged me to diligently study the art of formations, I stubbornly refused, focusing solely on the cultivation of my physical body. Now… it’s truly regrettable to realize how little I know when the time comes to use it,” Fang Yu sighed and put the parchment back into the storage bag.
At this moment, Fang Yu felt a bit tired, so he returned to his room and lay down on the bed, falling asleep.
…
When Fang Yu woke up, it was already past eleven at night.
He hadn’t had dinner yet and felt a bit hungry.
The lights in the living room were off; Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue should have gone to bed.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and didn’t want to disturb the mother and daughter, so he quietly left the house and went downstairs.
At this time, it was just right to grab a late-night snack.
Exiting the Lijiang community, Fang Yu walked along the sidewalk next to the road.
He remembered there was a pedestrian street not far from the community, where there were quite a few restaurants and similar shops.
After about ten minutes, Fang Yu arrived at the street and, smelling the aroma, sat down at a table outside a large barbecue stall, ordering a plate of dry-fried beef rice noodles.
As he began to eat, a woman in a red short skirt staggered out of a nearby bar.
There were many late-night stalls next to the hotel, filled with men.
Seeing the woman’s hot figure and stunning beauty, many men showed expressions of desire.
The woman had a flushed face and dazed eyes, clearly drunk.
If only he could take her home…
The woman swayed as she walked down the street, passing a table of men who were shirtless, eating barbecue and drinking.
Sensing the fragrance from the woman, the men couldn’t hold back.
One man stood up directly and laughed, “Hey, beautiful, want to join us for a drink?”
The woman seemed not to hear and continued walking forward.
The man at the table reached out and grabbed the woman’s arm, pulling her toward him.
The woman screamed, shaking off the man’s hand and falling to the ground.
The man looked at the woman who had fallen and grinned, saying, “Hey, beautiful, are you okay? Let me help you up.”
The other four men at the table also stood up, looking at the woman with lewd smiles and burning gazes.
A perfect figure, fair skin, truly a gem…
Tonight would be a feast.
“Get away from me! Don’t touch me!” the woman screamed.
Hearing this voice, Fang Yu, who was sitting not far away at the barbecue stall, frowned slightly.
He turned his head and saw five shirtless men surrounding a woman.
This woman was none other than Ding Ran, the English tutor from his class.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, hesitating whether to step in and help.
But at that moment, Ding Ran spotted Fang Yu.
Her eyes lit up, and she struggled to stand up, trying to walk toward Fang Yu.
However, several men blocked her path.
“Hey, beautiful, why don’t you keep us company tonight?”
