Wei Chen remained motionless.
In fact, as time passed, he simply closed his eyes.
This scene left everyone astonished.
"Wei Chen is indeed a formidable figure, but isn't he being a bit too arrogant? The one he's facing isn't some mediocre opponent; it's Master Jin, the top Formation Master of Soul World!"
"I can't believe Wei Chen is acting like this! Facing a powerhouse of Master Jin's caliber, he just stands there in a daze?"
"Every moment he delays could cost him immense reputation!"
"Who isn't concerned? Is Wei Chen in a trance? Or has he truly given up, letting things fall apart and mocking Master Jin for being too serious?"
"If that's the case, then the Peach Blossom Sect isn't worthy of our respect."
The crowd looked at Wei Chen with disdain, murmuring among themselves.
No one considered the possibility that this might be a tactic employed by Wei Chen.
Or perhaps Wei Chen was confident in his victory deep down? Was that why he dared to give Master Jin some time?
To deliberately allow time against someone of Master Jin's level—Wei Chen must truly be at an extraordinary level himself.
At that moment, Ni Junlin and Gu Yuehong flew out. After understanding the situation, their conclusions were completely different from those of the onlookers.
"Red Dragon, what do you think?" Ni Junlin asked Gu Yuehong.
Gu Yuehong pouted, "What else is there to think? Do you really believe that the heir of the Demon Lotus Emperor could possibly lose? In this situation, even if he fights with all his might, he won't lose. What we see is that he's still observing and hasn't made a move, which proves he has everything under control. Wei Chen is not a reckless person, nor has he ever been one to easily admit defeat. For him to concede is nearly impossible."
"That's true; how could he possibly lose?"
Both Gu Yuehong and Ni Junlin, knowing that Wei Chen was the heir of the Demon Lotus Emperor, had immense confidence in him. The previous Demon Lotus Emperor had failed, but this time, Wei Chen would not lose in such a critical battle.
Snow Cicada, Weirou, and Mu Qingyan also flew out, gazing at Wei Chen from a distance. In their eyes, the man they loved was the strongest, and there was no possibility of defeat. Even though Wei Chen seemed to be idle at the moment, they firmly believed it was merely a tactic on his part.
Jiang Langying and Ginger Tooth hid in the distance, quietly watching. Their thoughts mirrored those of Mu Qingyan and the others. For a long time, Wei Chen had never lost and had repeatedly created miracles. This time, another miracle would unfold—an accumulation of the strength and trust he had built over time.
Those familiar with Wei Chen felt that he was up to something clever, employing some sort of trickery; he certainly hadn't given up.
Only those uninformed outsiders secretly thought that Wei Chen was destined to lose.
The Peach Blossom Sect had risen too quickly; they were eager for Wei Chen to fail.
Outsiders would always kick someone when they're down; never expect them to lend a helping hand.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, a slight smile appeared on Wei Chen's lips as his figure suddenly moved!
A massive cloud of white mist enveloped his body in an instant, obscuring him completely from view.
Seeing that scene, the entire venue erupted in excitement!
"Look, Wei Chen is moving! He hasn't given up yet."
"Yeah, he hasn't given up, but he's wasted so much time. It's almost been half an hour, and his opponent is the renowned Master Jin. Wei Chen has squandered half the time and is only now making a move; he’s bound to lose!"
"What do you know? He clearly knows he's going to lose, but he's taking the opportunity to observe Master Jin's techniques. That will benefit him much more in the long run."
"Exactly, Wei Chen is a smart guy, not inferior to any of us. Our earlier assessment of him was truly laughable."
"No matter what, he’s still going to lose. Just because he took his time doesn’t mean it’s commendable."
"Well, at least it's better than losing without gaining anything, right? Now he has at least observed Master Jin's techniques, which will help him on his future path as a Formation Master."
"A loss is still a loss. Thunder Sovereign sent Master Jin to assist Peach Blossom Sect, but unexpectedly, the stubborn Master Jin has posed a challenge for Peach Blossom Sect and made them look bad. When Thunder Sovereign arrives, I wonder how they will explain this."
"Don't worry; Master Jin is someone even Thunder Sovereign wouldn't easily offend."
From the moment Master Jin appeared, outsiders believed that Wei Chen was destined to lose, with not even a sliver of a chance. It was a mix of awe for the long-established Master Jin and jealousy towards Peach Blossom Sect and Wei Chen.
Wei Chen was still so young yet had established such an impressive Peach Blossom Sect, maintaining good relationships with many influential figures. He possessed treasures like Dragon Blood, Phoenix Blood, and Xuan Gui Blood. It was impossible not to envy Wei Chen.
Especially those forces that had always stood against Peach Blossom Sect were even more envious of Wei Chen.
All these reasons led to no one believing that Wei Chen could achieve victory.
No matter how you analyze it, Wei Chen had no reason to win, did he?
"Those who want me to lose, a bunch of nobodies, right? But I’m going to show you all that my Formation Assignment will definitely not lose to Master Jin's. Although Master Jin is strong, the first Formation Master in the Soul World, that title is well-deserved. But what we are competing in this time is not the level of formations, but the understanding of formations!"
"I wasted half the time; do you think I came here for nothing?"
"Master Jin's White Radiance can block others' vision, but it can't block my perception. I know exactly what he's doing inside. I just don't know if he'll change his formation in the end. If he sticks with those formations, he will definitely lose."
"Even if he changes his formation, what does it matter to me? After exchanging formations, I might not be able to break his formation, but does he think he can easily break mine? Unless I take action to dismantle it, Master Jin could be trapped inside for months without getting out."
Wei Chen thought as he quickly began setting up his formation. The Soul Jade that Han Mang gave him contained countless formations; aside from the top-tier Tenth-Rank Formation, almost all commonly known formations were included. Wei Chen clearly understood what kind of formations Master Jin had set up. It was precisely because of this that Wei Chen was very confident about defeating Master Jin.
No matter what level of strong opponent he faced, Wei Chen had never lost his confidence.
Confidence is a good thing; it is Wei Chen's most precious treasure.
Confidence was built up gradually through countless battles. At first, he was someone who couldn't even condense the most basic Martial Soul; how could he have any qualifications to talk about confidence?
Wei Chen waved his hand to set up the formations at an incredible speed. Formations below Seventh Rank were easy for him to handle. His speed in setting up formations would be faster than Master Jin's, not slower.
The Demon Lotus Emperor chose him precisely because he recognized his Formation Assignment skills. In his previous life, the Demon Lotus Emperor suffered greatly from formations, which ultimately led to defeat. In this life, the person he chose must be top-notch in Formation Assignment.
In just half an hour, Wei Chen set up over a dozen Seventh-Rank Formations, more than a hundred Sixth-Rank Formations, hundreds of Fifth-Rank Formations, and thousands of Fourth-Rank Formations.
So many formations intertwined together, forming a web-like structure that surrounded him from all directions.
The formations overlapped with one another, intertwining and weaving together. Wei Chen's formations were more formidable than Master Jin's.
The time he spent was merely half of what Master Jin had taken.
In the realm of Formation Assignment, Master Jin was no match for Wei Chen.
In fact, from the very beginning, Master Jin had realized this; his skills in Formation Assignment were inferior to Wei Chen's.
Yet, the dignity of a Formation Master compelled him to fight.
He was well aware that at Wei Chen's age, his own level of formation mastery could not even be compared to that of Wei Chen.
"Master Jin, oh Master Jin, your mistake lies in provoking me! Don’t you know I thrive when challenged? If you didn’t know this, why would you dare to provoke me?"
"Lastly, let me give you something unforgettable."
A wicked smile spread across Wei Chen's face as a surge of Fire Phoenix Soul Power erupted forth, filling the gaps between the formations and connecting them seamlessly. Under the enhancement of the formations, the Fire Phoenix Soul Power amplified thousands or even tens of thousands of times, forming a massive Fire Phoenix that darted restlessly between the formations.
Time was up.
Wei Chen stepped out of the formations just as Master Jin emerged on cue. They locked eyes, each seeing mockery reflected in the other's gaze.
"Wei Chenyu, step into my formation. I’m curious how long it will take you to break it. A few hours, or perhaps longer?" Master Jin taunted.
Wei Chen shot back with equal mockery, "Master Jin, I’m just as eager to see how long it will take you to break my formation—whether it’s a few days or even months."
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in a chorus of curses, all aimed at Wei Chen, declaring him too arrogant and certain to lose.
This was their most primal desire deep down.
If Wei Chen lost, the Peach Blossom Sect would weaken, which would be beneficial for them.
"Go for it, Wei Chen! We all believe in you!"
"Yeah, is there really anything in this world that you can't do?"
"Let's take a guess—how long do you think it will take for Wei Chen to break that ridiculous Master Jin's formation?"
"One hour, maybe?"
"Three hours?"
"Tsk tsk, you all have too little confidence in Wei Chen, don't you? In my opinion, just a moment should be enough."
Gu Yuehong was the one who had the most confidence in Wei Chen.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wei Chen and Master Jin switched places and entered each other's formations.
Once they entered, the formations completely sealed off; now it was time to break the formations.
To those who couldn't understand the formations, the duel between Master Jin and Wei Chen was incredibly dull. They couldn't see what lay within those White Radiances. However, for those who understood formations, their battle was nothing short of spectacular. Yet even they could not discern what was hidden within the White Radiances.
In fact, even someone of Han Mang's caliber, a figure who could be called a Formation Master, could not see through the illusions created by Wei Chen and Master Jin.
It was precisely because of this that everyone felt extremely tense; the unseen was what made them most anxious.
As Wei Chen stepped into Master Jin's formation, he immediately realized that the formations set up by Master Jin were exactly the same as those he had observed from outside. Master Jin had been overconfident and had not altered the formation. In his mind, he believed that it would take Wei Chen at least several hours to break through.
Surely, in those few hours, he would have enough time to dismantle Wei Chen's formation, right?
However, once he entered Wei Chen's formation, his thoughts changed instantly.
"How could that kid possibly set up so many formations in such a short time?"
"Could this be the Fire Phoenix? Yes, it's definitely the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul! Remarkable! Using Fire Phoenix Soul Power to enhance it into a formidable Fire Phoenix Guardian Formation—such a technique is truly astonishing!"
"And what is this? A Chain Formation? How could he have had the opportunity to set up a Chain Formation in such a short time? My own formation doesn't even have a Chain Formation!"
The more Master Jin looked, the more unsettled he became.
