Chapter 1017: Zhang Xuan Breaks the Seal (2)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
All kinds of defensive formations had been set up in the depression . Tossing a boulder over could be considered an attack, and it could very well incur the seal's retaliation .
While the other formation masters were relying on their compasses to search for the crux of formidable formations to decipher them, this fellow had actually tossed a boulder in . This was no longer an attempt to decipher the formation but one to activate it!
Even while the seal was dormant, the twenty thousand of them here coupled with two powerful formation masters were already finding it hard to stabilize the seal . If it were to be activated, wouldn't it cause a huge calamity?
Just what was in the mind of that fellow? Was there a loose screw in there or something?
Otherwise, how could he make such a foolish decision? He was a 6-star pinnacle formation master, but he was making an error that even an apprentice formation master would know better than to do!
Stifled, Han Xu and Liu Mo hurriedly rushed forward to stop the other party, but it was already too late . The boulder plummeted into the formation and came into contact with the seal .
However, it didn't induce a change in the seal .
Seeing that nothing had happened, Liu Mo heaved a sigh of relief . "That was a close one! It seems like the seal only reacts to living beings, so it wasn't activated after coming into contact with the boulder . Otherwise, I can't even begin to imagine what would have happened . "
The seal was intricately linked to the rampaging energies that had accumulated beneath it . Once activated, there was a good chance that it could cause a disturbance in the energies below and cause them to act up once more, thus bringing more work to the already exhausted students . In the worst-case scenario, it might even induce an explosion on the spot .
After the fellow tossed the boulder in, he had suddenly fallen still . As a 6-star pinnacle formation master, he must have realized how risky his previous action was and was trembling fearfully at the thought of what could have happened .
Just as Liu Mo thought the other party would give up, the other party abruptly beckoned with his hand, and one of the students of the Hongyuan Master teacher Academy rushed over . The other party leaned forward and whispered a few words into the other party's ears .
A grim expression immediately surfaced on the student's face . Without any hesitation, he bellowed loudly and jumped straight into the depression, heading toward the seal .
Pu!
Not expecting that the other party would disregard his own student's welfare and send him to his death, Liu Mo felt so stifled that he nearly fainted on the spot .
That fellow was a fool, but to think that his student would be even more foolish! To charge in like that… It was possible to activate the formation in such a manner, but the instant the formation came to life, that student would die!
"Preposterous!" While Liu Mo was shocked by the sight before him, his teacher was completely enraged by the scene .
While others regarded their own students as their own children, protecting and caring for them, this fellow actually sent his student into the depression to test out the seal . To recklessly place his student in such danger, just how much more ridiculous could he get?
"Stop right there!" Bellowing furiously, Han Xu was just about to rush up to stop them when Zhang Xuan abruptly stretched his hand forward and grasped tightly . His zhenqi shot forth like a rope, swiftly wrapping around the student who had just jumped into the depression .
Just as he was about to come into contact with the seal, the zhenqi rope wrapped around the student abruptly pulled him back, dragging him out of the depression at an incredible speed .
At the same time, the seal seemed to have sensed the presence of life, and brilliant radiance flickered from it . However, contrary to Han Xu's previous worry, the activation of the seal didn't cause the explosion of the energies below . Instead, the formation whirred into action for a short moment before slowing to a stop, as if its activation wasn't complete .
"What precise control…" Guild Leader Han Xu's face warped in astonishment .
To be able to pull his student back in the very instant that the other party came into contact with the seal required an extremely deep understanding of the seal and very precise calculations of the positioning and velocity of his student!
Even the slightest centimeter of difference could either cause the formation to completely activate and devour the student or the formation to not sense the student altogether and result in nothing happening at all .
Of course, after the past two days of studying the formation, he was also capable of achieving the same feat . What truly left him astonished was the impressive teamwork and deep trust between the student and Principal Zhang!
Had there been the slightest difference in the action just a moment ago, the outcome could very well have been vastly difference . For the student to remain completely still while falling into the depression, not struggling in the slightest, it could only mean that he had complete trust in Principal Zhang .
Furthermore, for the student to jump without any hesitation just because Principal Zhang told him to… If Han Xu were to issue the same command to Liu Mo, the latter was unlikely to do the same .
It was not that Liu Mo didn't trust him, but there was a clear line of difference between trust and blind faith .
After the student was retrieved, Principal Zhang froze on the spot once more, seemingly falling into a daze . A moment later, he turned around .
"Wu shi, are you done preparing the grade-7 pinnacle formation flag yet?"
After a moment of hesitation, Wu shi flicked his wrist and passed a formation flag over . "Here it is . "
On top of being a 7-star pinnacle master teacher, he was a 7-star formation master as well . While his proficiency as a formation master was beneath that of Guild Leader Han, he still had a couple of grade-7 pinnacle formation flags in his possession .
"Un . " Taking the formation flag, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction . Without any hesitation, he stomped on the ground and flew into the air, heading toward the airspace right above the depression .
Driving his zhenqi, he grasped his formation flag tightly, seemingly searching for a node to plant it into .
"That fellow has gone bonkers! Liu Mo, hurry up and stop him!" Seeing that Principal Zhang was going to try creating an opening without even discussing the matter with them, Guild Leader Han nearly died of shock .
He had seen reckless people in his lifetime, but never had he seen someone as reckless as that!
Even if you have confirmed a node to plant your formation flag into, you should at least discuss the matter with us! To rush right over without saying a word at all… Are you really that confident that your judgement is correct?
You must know that if you err, it won't just be the twenty thousand master teachers on the Swallow Embracing Mountain who will pay for your mistake . It will be all living beings within a radius of a thousand kilometers!
This is truly making light of the matter!
"Yes!" Hearing his teacher's command, Liu Mo immediately flitted right toward Zhang Xuan .
At this moment, he was also extremely enraged by the impetuous actions of the other party . If he could, he really would tear the self-important fellow before him into pieces!
Hu!
Liu Mo thrust his palm forward, and a powerful burst of zhenqi shot forth from his hands .
In that instant, it seemed as if even the world had dulled before his powerful might as a Saint 3-dan cultivator .
"Hmm?"
