Dragon Monarch
Chapter 148 - Modifying the Formation
Busshhh!
The explosion occurred in the river water as a spirit beast slowly leaped out and re-entered the water.
“Water type spirit beast, let's see if I can drop it!” Lin Yan muttered with a small smile as he stared at the fish spirit beast with the eyes of his King.
Lin Yan immediately jumped up and coated the soles of his feet using his qi.
Taps!
While landing on the surface of the water, Lin Yan did not sink at all because Spirit Realm level cultivators were capable of such a feat. He took out the Heavenly King Spear and then looked around.
The fish spirit beast that was in the water, felt a certain movement on the surface. The fish immediately swam back to the surface and stared at the human floating on the surface of the water.
Lin Yan continued to gaze downwards using his King Eyes. He saw the fish heading towards him.
“A water spirit beast with a level of strength equivalent to a seventh stage Spirit Realm level cultivator.” Mumbled Lin Yan. He knew that it would not be too difficult to take down the spirit beast.
The fish that was in the water swam at high speed as it felt Lin Yan was a prey for a snack in the morning.
“Come!”
Busshhh!
The fish opened its jaws wide and tried to pounce on Lin Yan.
Lin Yan had already dodged first and jumped backwards. He immediately did repulsion when landing and immediately attacked back by stabbing the fish's head using the Sky King Spear.
The fish sensed danger and swung its tail towards Lin Yan who was already lunging towards him.
“False decision,” said Lin Yan as he gripped tightly against the Sky King Spear. The Black Lightning Qi enveloped the spear and directly pierced towards the tail of the fish.
Jem!
The fish felt pain as Lin Yan's spear lodged in its tail. He went straight into the water to escape with a wound that kept bleeding.
But Lin Yan did not pull his spear at all. He drowned in the water and was dragged by the fish.
Lin Yan who was being pulled up, raised his left arm and formed a claw. Black Lightning seemed to check on his fingertips and he immediately swung it with all his might knowing that his attack would weaken in the same water.
“Earth Cutter Claw.”
The sraing!
Srak! Srak! Srak!
Red blood splattered when Lin Yan's attack hit the target because of course the distance of the two was very close.
The fish slowly slowed down as it received a very deep wound.
Lin Yan pulled out his spear and used his qi on the soles of his feet to create a repulsion force in the water.
Zhep!
Lin Yan again shot towards the head of the fish and directly stabbed it with his spear.
Jem!
Seeing that, Lin Yan immediately pulled the fish back to the surface and took it out of the water.
“Not too difficult,” muttered Lin Yan and took out a small knife and dug out the spirit star core that was near the fin of the fish.
After which, Lin Yan took out the crystal given by the Elder then channeled his qi when placing the spirit star core on top of the crystal.
Zhep!
The crystal devoured the monster beast core. In less than half a minute, the spirit beast core disappeared and the crystal showed a certain number.
“7 points. It seemed that the level of the spirit beast was in line with the points given. Which meant, the strongest spirit beast that likely possessed the strength of the first stage Earth Realm level gained 11 points. It could be that it even reached 20 points due to the difference in strength.” Lin Yan analyzed.
Lin Yan stored the crystal and looked around him. He knew that the forest was not too vast but filled with many powerful spirit beasts.
Without wasting any time, Lin Yan immediately moved in a random direction. He channeled his qi and looked at some information about the rankings. There were already a few disciples who had 9 points at the moment.
A frown appeared on Lin Yan's forehead upon seeing the other features of the crystal. He immediately stopped moving and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
“It seems that the Thousand Swords sect gave me help.” Said Lin Yan when he saw the information about someone who should be his partner.
“It would not be expected that this crystal has the feature to find the location of colleagues who are from the same sect.” Lin Yan recalled about Meng Tuo who would definitely be eyeing him as well during the competition. No one knows the feature yet if they do not pay close attention.
The crystal had several overlapping formations. And one of them has the function to find his own colleagues in a distant place though.
Lin Yan inspected the formation and knew that it was a complicated formation. But he chuckles because it can modify some of its uses even though for the calculation of the number of points can not.
“There is no warning about the regulation that pupils who know about formations are not allowed to do this.” Lin Yan smiled evilly and immediately looked for a place to start his evil plan.
**
Time continued to pass, outside the forest, precisely at the center of the Thousand Swords sect, there were very many spectators watching a certain scene.
There was no notice that the crystals held by the disciples could record certain images and transfer them outwards in order to be witnessed by the guests who came to see the competition.
“Oh? Is that Lin Yan? I didn't expect that it would be so easy for him to fight that fish. Water-type Spirit Beasts were something difficult for Spirit Realm level cultivators to fight against.” A woman nearing middle age named Gu Mien gazed towards the giant rectangular crystal that recorded all the events within the forest.
Next to him right now was a beautiful young lady who did not blink her eyes as she looked towards the giant rectangular-shaped crystal, she was none other than Gu Yin.
The patriarch of the Gu clan and Gu Shen were also surprised to see Lin Yan's appearance. Gu Shen nodded in satisfaction as it turned out that his daughter did not choose a child carelessly.
“Hm? What's he doing?” The patriarch of the Gu clan was confused when he saw Lin Yan enter a cave and started to do something.
Not too long later, the Elders of the Thousand Swords sect, and all the guests who were there twitched upon seeing Lin Yan modify the formation that was on the crystal.
“Basic fucking boy!” Elder Jian An cursed Lin Yan for turning out to be an expert in formations as well.
Zhep!
Lin Yan's image disappeared instantly and displayed a new image. It was just a picture of what Lin Yan saw, not the entirety of what he did. Only his hand was visible when Lin Yan extended his arm forward.
While the Patriarch of the Gu clan was getting shocked. He immediately speculated that the extremely complicated formation in the two Twin Chi Swords had been laid by Lin Yan just by staring at Lin Yan's speed in modifying the formation laid by the Thousand Sect formation experts Swords.
