The audience was bustling with activity as they guessed who would be the first apprentice to break out of the Illusory Formation.
"Who do you think will be the first person to co out?"
"Do you need to ask? Obviously, it is Ma Long."
"Wrong! It is Yuan Lan."
"Idiot! How can you compare a asly clan to the giant Array Formation Association? Do you know how deep their inheritance is?"
Listening to the crowd’s argunt, Elder Kai couldn’t help but grin happily. Elders from the Array Formation were also happy.
Indeed, how could a re clan compare to their rich inheritance? Besides, Ma Long was a talented array formation apprentice.
However, the five elders supervising the competition did not share their wild fantasies. Their gazes locked in a particular direction.
’Humph! I don’t believe you can steamroll this round.’ Elder Feng snorted in his mind.
Although they left a lot of openings in the Illusory Array Formation, those without a rich foundation would not be able to find them and would be lost in the formation forever.
Thus, he believed this round would show Jun Wu was just lucky to pass the first round.
Beside him, Elder Shen knitted her brows. She did not have any thoughts. She was rely curious about Jun Wu.
For him to discover so many flaws in the Fog Array Formation, her instinct told her this would be a walk in the park.
Suddenly, she raised her brows and her jaw dropped.
It was not only her; everyone in the coliseum stopped whatever they were doing and looked at the scene agape.
Elder Feng’s lips trembled and his eyes widened.
’This is impossible!’
’How!’
’There must be a problem with the Illusory Formation!’ He scread in his mind and wanted to jump down from the podium to check the Illusory Array Formation.
However, he managed to control the impulse.
Beside him, Elder Kang’s jaw dropped for a mont before he recovered and whispered,
"Interesting..."
Jun Wu stepped out of the Illusory Array Formation calmly. Each of his steps was filled with confidence and nobility.
rely looking at him, the audience thought he was going for a stroll.
He arrived before the podium and raised his head calmly.
"Elders, I’m out?" he said.
"Indeed, you’re out," Elder Shen responded with a bright smile. "Congratulations on reaching the last round."
"Thank you," Jun Wu responded humbly.
Elder Shen was pleased with his behaviour. "Stay by the side and wait for the others."
Before he could move to the side, Elder Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Tell us, how did you do it? It is impossible to co out of the illusion without spending ti deciphering the array formation’s weakness."
When the audience heard this, they ca out of their shock and nodded. They all wanted to hear how he did it.
He barely spent a minute in the illusion.
How could he co out so quickly?
In the VIP section, Elder Kai’s face had lost all the previous pride. He knitted his brows and his gaze locked on Jun Wu.
"Who is that boy?" he couldn’t help but ask.
For such a young man to compete in the apprentice array formation, he must be from a well-known clan or have a reputable master.
Yet, he had never heard of him.
"We don’t know..." one of the elders responded, shaking his head.
Elders from the Yuan wore ugly expressions looking at Jun Wu. Teachers from the Mystic Academy had indifferent expressions on their faces.
Inwardly, they were interested in such a talent.
As for how he ca out from the Illusory Array Formation, who cared?
Just beating Ma Long and Yuan Lan had already proved his superiority compared to them.
When they heard Elder Feng’s question, their ears perked. They all wanted to hear how he beat those proclaid geniuses.
Jun Wu stopped in his tracks and glanced at Elder Feng before he ignored him.
’Who is he to question ?’
When the audience saw Jun Wu’s action, they were stunned. They did not expect a re apprentice to ignore an Array Formation Master.
Elder Feng was furious. How dare he ignore ?
He opened his mouth to berate Jun Wu but was stopped by Elder Shen.
"That’s enough!" she said sharply. "You’ve already made us lose face with that question."
This was the association ground with many Grade 1 Array Masters present. How could a re apprentice cheat without them knowing?
"Indeed, Elder Feng. You need to control your temper," Elder Kang couldn’t help but add.
If they were inside, he wouldn’t have cared, but they were in the open where everyone was looking at them.
Asking such a question was already questioning the fairness of the competition.
Even though other elders did not speak, they all shared the sa sentint with Elder Kang and Elder Shen.
Everyone knew Elder Feng was close to Elder Kai, but they could not let him tarnish the image of the Array Formation.
Elder Feng realized this and gritted his teeth without speaking. He had only asked at the spur of the mont without thinking too much about it.
Besides, he did not believe a re apprentice would not answer him. But he was wrong.
Jun Wu was unlike any apprentice.
Looking at the calm elders, the audience was stunned, and the quiet stadium ca to life.
"Do you see?"
"Who is he to ignore the elder?"
"How would I know? But I like his swag..."
"Hahaha. We were all wrong. Who would have expected there to be a strong dark horse in this competition?"
"Indeed, a strong dark horse that beat the two proclaid geniuses."
"Haha. I can’t wait to see Ma Long and Yuan Lan’s faces when they co and realize they were not the first."
Listening to the comnts flying around them, Mao Yun and Zhang Wei were basking in glory, grinning from ear to ear as if they were the ones that just passed the second round.
