Divine King of Honour

"I raise the bet. I obtained an Ice Snow Sea Urchin King, which is equivalent to the effects of a Low Grade Spirit Pill. If he loses, I want him to kneel before me and kowtow," the genius youth from the Whale Clan declared loudly.

"Alright!" Xu Nian responded with a smile.

The crowd around them was momentarily surprised.

They hadn't expected someone to actually raise the bet.

The people around glanced at each other and then started shouting, "I raise the bet, I raise the bet..."

In their view, Xu Nian was almost certain to lose.

How could anyone comprehend a Low Grade Spirit Array in just two hours?

Unless this guy had already reached the level of a Mid-grade Array Master.

But that was simply impossible.

Beside them, Hong Xiang's usually cold face also showed continuous surprise.

He looked at Xu Nian, who was confirming the bets with the surrounding people, filled with intense confusion.

How could this boy, who looked even younger than herself, think of doing this?

Could he truly comprehend a new Low Grade Spirit Array in just two hours?

Soon, Xu Nian had agreed on the bets with the people around him.

Ultimately, no fewer than ten people participated in the bet.

The people around were convinced Xu Nian would lose, but Xu Nian himself appeared utterly unconcerned.

"Alright, since everyone suspects that Xu Nian has already learnt the formation, let me test Xu Nian again. I will act as the examiner for this assessment. No objections, right?" the Dark God Island Master announced.

"No objections," the crowd responded in unison.

"Good, since there are no objections, I shall begin. I have a Low Grade Spirit Array that I created myself. Moreover, it's a Killing Array, which is considered upper-class among Low Grade Spirit Arrays. I will use this array for the assessment," the Dark God Island Master said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.

"Is the island master holding a grudge against Xu Nian? To bring out an Upper-class Low Grade Spirit Array, and it's even the toughest kind, a Killing Array—it's like he's making sure Xu Nian loses!"

"Hmph, so what? I think the island master feels deceived and wants to severely punish this arrogant kid."

"I think so too. Who does he think he is, even daring to deceive the island master?"

...

The crowd continued to discuss.

Fu Yuming had a cold smile too.

He had disliked Xu Nian for a long time.

He didn't expect that even the Dark God Island Master wanted to get rid of him. Now he wanted to see how Xu Nian would handle himself after losing.

The Whale Clan's genius youth also sneered continuously.

His gaze at Xu Nian turned to one of mockery, as if he was already looking at a dead man.

Xu Nian, facing the crowd's glances, felt disdain in his heart.

Yet, he looked towards the Dark God Island Master.

He knew that the master wasn't trying to harm him, but rather test him.

But the test was perhaps too much.

"Swoosh!"

The Dark God Island Master waved his sleeve, and a huge Array Map floated in the air.

The Array Map unfolded, revealing the Array Patterns.

The crowd around looked towards the Array Map, but they couldn't understand the Profound Argumentation of the array at all.

Yet, this made them even surer that Xu Nian was doomed.

Even Hong Xiang frowned deeply at the Array Map.

Such a complex Array Map would take her months to comprehend anything.

She couldn't believe that Xu Nian could grasp anything in just two hours.

However, when she turned around, she found Xu Nian intently focused on the Array Map.

His eyes didn't blink.

Unaffected by the external environment.

"Could he really be comprehending it?" Hong Xiang was slightly startled.

She then stopped thinking too much and started trying to comprehend the array herself.

She wanted to see how much she could comprehend in two hours.

And while Xu Nian and Hong Xiang were seriously studying the Formation,

the others around them started whispering among themselves.

Their topic was just one thing,

all discussing what Xu Nian's failure would look like after two hours.

"This foolish tortoise, agreeing to such a bet, it's obviously unfair. Such a stupid guy, I wouldn't want him as my servant," the Whale Clan Princess said, frustrated.

Yet, her eyes were slightly reddened.

On the other side, Emperor Xuanwu was also chatting with Xuan Hong.

"Great-grandfather, do you think Brother Xu Nian can really do it?" Emperor Xuanwu asked in astonishment.

"Yes!" Xuan Hong replied decisively.

Emperor Xuanwu was startled.

He hadn't expected such a straightforward answer from his great-grandfather.

"Did he study Formation before?" Emperor Xuanwu asked.

Even if he had just comprehended Hong Xiang's Formation on the spot,

it wouldn't necessarily mean he could comprehend the Killing Array so quickly!

"I don't know if he has studied Formation before, but one thing I am sure of is that Xu Nian never does things he's unsure of. Since he dared to agree, he must be able to do it," Xuan Hong said.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at his great-grandfather in surprise.

He found his great-grandfather's gaze exceptionally resolute.

He hadn't realized that Xu Nian held such a high place in Xuan Hong's heart.

Time passed by slowly.

The surroundings gradually quieted down.

The crowd's expressions varied.

But most were sneering at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian had already stopped looking at the Array Map and was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed.

His brow furrowed from time to time.

"This kid keeps frowning, he must have encountered an insurmountable obstacle, haha!" the people around laughed loudly.

The Dark God Island Master was also observing Xu Nian.

He had put forth such a difficult Formation to test Xu Nian.

If Xu Nian really lost in the end, he would definitely speak out to save Xu Nian's life.

"Time's up!"

Just then, a servant keeping the time spoke up.

Both Xu Nian and Hong Xiang opened their eyes at the same time.

"Is it over? It seems this bet will be settled now," someone in the crowd said.

Fu Yuming and others sneered.

Xu Nian's end was finally here.

Hong Xiang couldn't help but look at Xu Nian, noticing his serious expression and the absence of any relief on his face.

"Sigh, it seems he didn't comprehend it. I only managed about one percent myself, this Formation is truly too difficult," Hong Xiang muttered to herself.

"Xu Nian, time is up. If you haven't comprehended it, just come over and accept your death obediently!" Fu Yuming said with a smirk.

"Before dying, kneel down and knock your head loudly," a talent from the Whale Clan said with a sneer.

"And my ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones."

"And mine..."

The crowd followed, shouting.

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Xu Nian's lips.

The Dark God Island Master also looked at Xu Nian and asked, "Xu Nian, how is your comprehension?"

Hearing the Master's question, Xu Nian lifted his head and replied, "Master, it's so-so!"

The crowd went dead silent.

So-so again?
