Chapter 2027: Chapter 2054: Accepting a Disciple

Ye Zhan had a calm look on his face, then turned to Ye Feng: "Little guy, this old man seems quite unconvinced by your formation proficiency, why don’t you teach him?" Upon hearing Ye Zhan’s words, Ye Feng felt a bit helpless: "You’re too far from me; how can we have an intellectual contest?"

Ye Zhan said easily: "Don’t worry about it, just carve the formation runes, I’ll guide your formation runes to imprint onto the array plate!"

"Alright! In that case, I’ll give it a try, I haven’t used an array plate for a formation showdown in a long time!"

Ye Feng agreed, while the eyes of the Formation King were eager to try, not believing that Ye Feng was truly that capable.

The Formation King said: "Old man can’t play, but can the son not play either? I don’t believe he’s that awesome!"

"Alright, hurry up and start..." Ye Zhan said impatiently, while the martial artists in Dark Night City all fell silent, staring blankly at the image within the fate vortex. They were already scared and dared not be cocky anymore.

Later, the Formation King said: "Young friend, shall I take the first move?" The Formation King looked at Ye Feng as he spoke.

Ye Feng replied indifferently: "Whatever!" It’s known that when it comes to array plate contests, Ye Feng is not afraid of anyone. No cultivation level is required for array plate contests; as long as one’s proficiency is deep enough.

But, setting up an actual formation is a different story. For example, Ye Feng’s formation proficiency has reached a level beyond world tier formations, but his cultivation is only at the peak of the Great Saint, so setting up a tenth tier formation is impossible.

Because his strength is too weak to control the power of a tenth tier world level formation, but with an array plate, there’s no consideration for force control. You just set up the formation and carve runes—it’s purely a contest of formation proficiency, not the actual deployment of formations.

Subsequently, the Formation King began setting up the formation, and the formation soon surfaced on the array plate.

But Ye Feng immediately found a countermeasure, easily setting up a formation that suppressed the Formation King.

"How is that possible!" The Formation King was shocked; he had clearly initiated the attack, but just the first formation had Ye Feng successfully defending, even slightly suppressing him. Ye Feng swiftly set up formation runes.

The speed reached an extreme, the Formation King hadn’t even had time to react before Ye Feng’s second set formation counterattacked, and immediately, the Formation King felt an incredibly terrifying pressure, and the situation reversed instantly.

Clearly, he was the attacker, but in just the second exchange, Ye Feng had already turned from the hunted to the hunter, becoming the attacker.

Then, Ye Feng continuously set up formations, launching attack after attack.

The Formation King suddenly became overwhelmed, constantly defending, but the formation flags on the array plate kept toppling.

"How can this be! How can this be!" The Formation King shouted in shock. At that point, even Hong Sha and the martial artists of Dark Night City were completely confused, unable to understand the profoundness of each formation rune Ye Feng carved—so profound that it was beyond their comprehension, directly pushing the Formation King to retreat repeatedly, only able to defend with no chance of counterattack.

Soon, Ye Feng and the Formation King had engaged in the ninth confrontation, continuously bombarding formations, and the Formation King kept collapsing.

The tenth, the eleventh, the twelfth, and finally the thirteenth time! Finally, the Formation King gave up.

At this moment, the Formation King was already drenched in sweat, mentally exhausted, indescribably weak, as if he’d been setting up formations for tens of thousands of years. Everyone was stunned, not having anticipated that Ye Feng’s formation proficiency was so astonishing.

"I lost..." The Formation King looked blankly at Ye Feng, his heart already in turmoil.

It turned out Ye Feng’s formation proficiency was truly incredible; he had thought Ye Zhan was just exaggerating to scare him.

Ye Zhan had said Ye Feng could defeat him in thirty moves—still modest, as Ye Feng actually defeated him in thirteen.

The Formation King’s heart was extremely shocked, unable to accept it, yet Ye Feng still wore a relaxed and calm expression.

The Formation King excitedly looked at Ye Feng: "Master, please let me kowtow to you, please accept me as your disciple, I am willing to follow you to learn formations!" Hearing the Formation King’s words, Ye Feng felt a bit helpless, as he didn’t want to accept a disciple.

However, Ye Zhan spoke up: "Little guy, just take him in. This Formation King has some skills that might help you. You’re so weak now, you need some people by your side, and the Formation King isn’t bad, his formation insight is acceptable!"

Hearing Ye Zhan say that, Ye Feng nodded: "Alright, since you say so, I’ll take him!"

The Formation King excitedly knelt down: "Disciple Wu Tiangang greets Master. I hereby swear a Heavenly Oath that I am willing to follow Master forever, to learn formation proficiency, never to betray. If I ever do, I am willing to accept Heavenly Thunder Punishment, to dissipate in life and death, and never enter reincarnation!"

Ye Feng nodded: "Alright, stand up..." Formation King Wu Tiangang nodded, then said: "Master, wait for me. I have some things to take care of recently. Once they’re done, I’ll come to the Third Layer Heaven to fetch you. My Heavenly Formation Sect has countless resources. If you come, you will surely break through the boundary realm effortlessly and attain a higher level!"

"Hmm..." Ye Feng nodded, then looked at Ye Zhan, who assessed Ye Feng: "Little guy, you are really weak. If it weren’t for me today, you’d probably be dead..."

Ye Feng frowned, slightly irritated; this was the second time Ye Zhan had called him weak. Ye Feng asked: "Where am I weak?" Ye Zhan chuckled: "What, the fact is, and you’re not convinced? In just over a month, I’ve intervened twice. Without me, you’d already be dead, wouldn’t you?"

Ye Feng retorted: "So what? You don’t consider what cultivation level my enemies are? When Hong Shan attacked me, I was just a Semi-Saint, and Hong Shan was a First Level World realm, her cultivation much higher than mine. How could I resist? Today’s Star Lord was the same, with cultivation levels over ten steps above mine. Were you at my age more powerful than me? Could you withstand it?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Ye Zhan was momentarily stunned, realizing Ye Feng had a point—Ye Feng’s opponents were indeed on another level.

He was of the same age as Ye Feng, and indeed not much stronger than Ye Feng, but Ye Zhan still felt displeased: "Kid, I used to fear you a bit in your past life, but now I’m your father. If I say you’re weak, then you’re weak!"
