Chapter 322: Will it Explode?
“Try and set up the fire burning formation again and we will find out whether it’s true or not!”
Watching over Fang Yu, who had suddenly become extremely excited after learning that she might be able to successfully set up a fire burning formation, Xuan Hao encouraged her to try and set up the formation.
After all, he still had to make sure that his sect quest would be completed… He was also curious about how the Formation Halls strength would increase like the quest rewards said, would it be over time as Fang Yu grew up and became stronger or would it be something entirely different that caused the Formation Hall to experience a sudden increase in strength. Like one of their Formation Masters breaking through into a higher realm, them discovering a brand-new formation that would help increase their strength or maybe some strong Formation Master appearing and joining the Formation Hall.
Xuan Hao had no idea what would happen and really wanted to find out how the system would increase the strength of the Formation Hall… Although he already had a feeling that it had something to do with Fang Yu. The main subject of the sect quest!
Fwoosh!
Focusing on setting up the fire burning formation, Fang Yu carefully proceeded to successfully ignite the small fire in middle of the formation. Watching it burn like she had done in the past.
Now all she needed to do was to keep it burning without the formation suddenly collapsing or exploding like the past…
Fwoosh~
“I, I succeeded!”
Keeping an eye on the flame in the middle of the fire burning formation, Fang Yu could not help but exclaim loudly in an excited manner.
The small fire did not explode like it had in the past! Instead, it remained completely calm inside of the fire burning formation without showing any signs of exploding.
“Looks like it did indeed have something to do with the Qi Sapping Worm…”
Nodding his head with a smile on his lips, Xuan Hao could not help feeling happy for Fang Yu, as she finally managed to succeed in what she had dedicated the past two years of her life towards doing.
Honestly, Xuan Hao had no idea what he would do if the Qi Sapping Worm did not have something to do with her failing for two years straight. At that point, he might even end up failing his first ever quest from the system…
“No use thinking about that… Now I just need to help her take the test and officially enter the Formation Hall!”
Muttering this to himself as he shook his head upon thinking about how he might have ended up failing the sect quest if the Qi Sapping Worm had not been related to Fang Yu’s continues failures for the past two years, Xuan Hao felt that he had been quite lucky with the sect quest this time around.
He almost didn’t have to do anything other than remove a worm that took minimal effort and be done with it. No need for him to try and use what little knowledge on formations he had to try and teach Fang Yu.
Overall, Xuan Hao felt quite satisfied with how everything had gone. The only thing left for him to find out about, was where and how Fang Yu managed to get infected by the Qi Sapping Worm in the first place…
“Thanks for your help Elder Xuan! Without you, I don’t think I would ever be able to enter the Formation Hall!”
Dispersing her fire burning formation by herself for the first time since she had learned the formation, Fang Yu happily bowed down and thanked Xuan Hao for hist help.
Without him, she would still have that weird worm hiding inside of her dantian. Disrupting her progress when it came to setting up the fire burning formation.
As an added bonus, she had even managed to breakthrough to the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
“No need for that, it’s only a given that I helped you out. For now, we should move over to the Formation Hall so you can officially become a member of the Formation Hall!” Feeling happy upon seeing how thankful Fang Yu was to him, Xuan Hao quickly stopped her from bowing any further before moving the conversation towards the Formation Hall.
Helping her enter the Formation Hall was the last thing left to do before his sect quest could be considered to have been completed and it was still early in the morning, so there was more than enough time left for both of them to visit the Formation Hall and have her take the entrance test!
“Yes!”
Fang Yu happily agreed with what Xuan Hao said, as both of them soon began making their way down the mountain towards the Formation Hall.
…
At the same time, Feng Chen and Zu Fei had finally finished cleaning up and were preparing to meet with Elder Song. Firstly, to learn about what had happened when they were gone. Secondly, they would also tell him about what happened on their end during the past few weeks that they had spent mostly inside of the Burning Mountain Range searching for the Raging Flame Sect’s Sect Master.
“Hm? W-what is this?”
Arriving inside the room that they had been informed Elder Song was currently staying inside of, both Feng Chen and Zu Fei were taken aback, as the person in question seemed extremely focused on feeding some kind of small worm on his table. Instead of working like he normally did.
“Sect Master? Zu Fei? It’s great to see both of you have returned safely! Did you manage to deal with the Sect Master of the Raging Flame Sect…?”
Not turning his gaze away from the small, weird worm in front of him, Elder Song asked the two of them, while remaining focused on feeding some kind of small spiritual herb to the small worm on his table.
“Yes… The Sect Master of the Raging Flame Sect was dealt with… But I have to ask… What is this worm all about? Did you perhaps find a new hobby of some sort…?”
Answering truthfully, Feng Chen could not help but ask about the worm being slowly fed by Elder Song with a precious spiritual herb.
“Ah… This is-”
Seeing both Feng Chen and Zu Fei’s doubtful and weird expressions, Elder Song quickly explained what the Qi Sapping Worm was, like he had done for Xuan Hao only a short time ago.
Quickly causing both Feng Chen and Zu Fei to look at the small worm with both a surprised and fearful look on their faces.
CREATORS’ THOUGHTS
PurpleSpring
Fang Yu managed to set up the Fire Burning Formation! Planning to do a timeskip soon, hope it will go well… The timeskip will be moving towards the date of the Alchemy Competetion, as it has been on the backburner for quite a long time now! Plan to do it as a chapter talking about the things happening during the period of time that the timeskip will go over.
