Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning

Chapter 283: Impossible, Absolutely Impossible

“Forgot again, none of you can come close, but it’s fine.”

Jiang Hao lowered his hand and said softly: “Now I will say two words, and after you hear them, your attitude towards me will change dramatically. Then you’ll quietly let me study the formation.”

“What are you going to say?” Hai Luo sneered.

“Are you here to be funny? Have you lost your mind?”

“Then listen carefully, senior,” Jiang Hao said.

“Come on, say it,” Hai Luo listened intently.

“Let’s see what two words you can come up with.”

Soon, the name of an island reached his ears.

The moment he heard the name, he burst into laughter, and after laughing, he looked down on Jiang Hao with disdain.

“What a joke, a complete joke. You think with that you can threaten me? Make me shut up? Is it possible? How could it be? Are you the idiot or am I?”

Jiang Hao was quite puzzled. It seemed that either the information was wrong, or this threat had no effect on Hai Luo.

Just as he was about to verify this, Hai Luo suddenly changed his tone and said.

“So, you just want me to stop talking, right?”

Then he closed his mouth and did not speak again.

Jiang Hao: “...”

Originally, Zhuang Yuzhen thought that someone had finally broken through his psychological shadow, but now it seemed that Hai Luo was indeed a bastard.

At least he had resisted.

This guy just talked tough for a bit and then caved.

Jiang Hao was also quite surprised; it seemed that Liu’s information was very valuable.

This time, he didn’t even have to pay a price.

The gathering was better than expected.

“Senior, we can continue now.”

Jiang Hao approached Zhuang Yuzhen and said.

“Good.”

Zhuang Yuzhen continued with the formation.

All based on what Jiang Hao had learned, he began to dismantle and demonstrate variations.

Once Jiang Hao had learned enough, Zhuang Yuzhen reminded him.

“The opening of the Corpse Realm is roughly at the beginning of the year; you don’t have much time left, you need to master everything quickly. It will be convenient to go to various places then.”

“The beginning of the year?” Jiang Hao nodded.

There were still more than two months left.

He hoped the sect wouldn’t cause him any trouble in these two months.

......

Half a month later.

Mid-November.

Jiang Hao once again welcomed Qing You and Gu Cheng.

“Greetings to both seniors.”

“Have you mastered last month’s formation?” Qing You asked.

“I’ve basically mastered it,” Jiang Hao nodded.

A hint of skepticism flashed in Qing You’s eyes, but she didn’t dwell on it and instead said,

“Then we’ll teach you the most important part. As long as you learn this part, you will be able to go to the safe area. Most of the people there are at the Foundation Establishment level. You just need to be careful, and you might find some opportunities. But to master this formation, you need the foundation of the previous two formations. Otherwise, whatever I say, you might not understand.”

“Thank you for the reminder, senior,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.

Qing You felt she had said enough and began to draw out the formation and explain.

This formation was a central part of the Human Element Formation.

With too many variations, it was very difficult to master the basics.

They estimated it would take two days, but it would probably take three here.

“This kind of change requires positional evasion,” Qing You pointed at the formation and continued.

“There are roughly three positions where you can avoid the influence of the formation and enter the safe area.”

“Three positions?” Jiang Hao pointed at a displacement in the formation and said.

“Isn’t this also possible? Logically, the first three displacements require back-and-forth evasion, but after entering here, you can use the initial formation changes to jump to the safe area. Avoiding random teleportation.”

“It’s possible, but once you enter, you will face the storm of the Human Element Formation. Things will get complicated then,” Qing You explained instinctively.

“Then you can find a weak spot in the storm and easily enter,” Jiang Hao said.

This was based on what Zhuang Yuzhen had taught him.

He subconsciously wanted to verify it.

Upon hearing this, Qing You nodded slightly and then crouched down to ponder.

But soon, she was stunned.

Then she looked at Jiang Hao incredulously.

“Do you see a problem, senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“No, no problem,” Qing You quickly shook her head.

At that moment, she was shocked.

What was going on? Why was it like this?

These few sentences were enough to show that the other party was not just putting on a show but had truly mastered the previous formations, not only mastered them but was also able to extrapolate from them.

Not through extensive experience, then it must be an astonishing talent.

She had some understanding of his talent; was it because he spent all his time here?

But even with constant studying, it’s impossible to improve this fast.

She couldn’t comprehend it.

Yet, she still tried hard to teach.

Throughout the entire day, their progress was swift, and they even conducted dissection and analysis.

If at first they were teaching, by the end it had turned into a discussion.

The two seemed to be evenly matched in their understanding of formations.

......

When Qing You left with Gu Cheng, she felt somewhat dazed.

On the way, she looked at Gu Cheng beside her with a bit of panic:

“Senior Brother, do you think we’ve been too arrogant? Seeing someone who was beneath us suddenly rise to our level, I feel fear. It’s like realizing there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. And the horror of underestimating others. If this were not about formations but cultivation, and I made an enemy of him because of this, would I have already...”

“That’s why the elder told us to be modest, not to underestimate anyone because of our sect. Or rather, to stay vigilant and make friends. In any case, it’s best to avoid conflict if possible,” Gu Cheng said.

Today, he was also quite surprised; he always felt that Jiang Hao’s identity was extraordinary.

His knowledge of formations must have been guided by a master.

Jiang Hao watched them leave, tended to the spiritual herbs for a while, and then headed to Lawless Tower; he wanted to master new formations as soon as possible.

Now, Sea King was very courteous upon his arrival.

As soon as it was time for instruction, it was very quiet.

Occasionally, when he spoke, he would share his insights on formations.

Jiang Hao listened and felt they were indeed useful.

He envied the proficiency everyone had in formations.

After a month, he had more or less mastered three formations.

Now he could steadily enter the Corpse Realm.

As long as he didn’t wander off, there was little danger.

Fortune would depend on luck and competition.

“Starting tomorrow, I can tell you about the map of the Corpse Realm,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.

Jiang Hao thanked him and once again mentioned that Qu Zhong was still on the run.

As long as Qu Zhong was safe, there was hope for Zhuang Yuzhen.

Leaving Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao went straight to Hundred Bones Forest.

......

It was now mid-December.

Three months had passed since Bai Ye was seriously injured.

And in about a month, the Corpse Realm might open.

According to Zhuang Yuzhen, once you enter, you’d have to stay at least half a year to come out.

So, he wanted to seal it again in advance.

Outside the valley, Jiang Hao held a long spear.

He originally planned to use one, but for safety’s sake, he decided to take out another.

.......

In the valley, Bai Ye sat in the courtyard looking up at the starry sky, lost in thought.

“Senior Brother, your injuries haven’t healed yet, why do you keep sitting in the courtyard?” Fairy Lian Qin was puzzled.

Bai Ye withdrew his gaze and said softly, “I need to confirm something.”

“What is it?” Fairy Lian Qin asked in confusion.

“To confirm why I was attacked,” Bai Ye said seriously, looking into the distance.

It was at this moment that his pupils shrank.

A streak of purple light once again tore through the formation and whistled towards them.

The strengthened formation was still no match for the opponent’s long spear.
