Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 74: Shocked Mo Shuyu
While others were sighing in frustration, Mo Shuyu looked at Zhong Cang with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"With just one insight, he was able to detect so many formations. Even if they are all basic, it is still commendable... That old fellow Robende didn't lie to me. Zhong Cang really has a talent for formations."

At this moment, Mo Shuyu still felt condescending satisfaction and appreciation towards Zhong Cang.

However, her expression soon changed and became dull.

After explaining some basic formations, Zhong Cang did not stop, but instead talked about the fusion and nested formations.

"Master Mo, you are a genius. After setting up ordinary formations, you not only made them not affect each other, but also used some wonderful designs and methods to make them merge with each other."

"Among them, mountains and water are the core of the formation. Mountains refer to the earth, and water refers to the sky. The formation of mountains and water is also the formation of heaven and earth."

"The Heavenly Formation also has variations, replacing the four seasons with wind, rain, thunder, hail, frost, and snow. Master Mo, your formation diagram should be able to easily influence celestial phenomena. Or perhaps, you can borrow the power of wind, rain, thunder, and even the changing seasons to bless the formation diagram and use them as a source of energy..."

"There are variations in the sky, and there are variations in the earth. Master, your variation of the earth should be centered around the Eight Trigrams: wind and thunder, water and fire, mountain and swamp. Within that formation diagram are some treasures, a sacred mountain mined from special minerals, a pillar of thunder, and various other things. These should be the core carriers of the Eight Trigrams formation..."

In front of Mo Shuyu, Zhong Cang talked freely and tried his best to express all his understanding, so that Mo Shuyu would pay attention to him and then cultivate him.

However, what Zhong Cang, who was talking happily, didn't realize was that after hearing his subsequent insights, the group of people in Yun Mo Xin Lake had their eyes confused, as if they were listening to a heavenly book.

And the way they looked at Zhong Cang was full of awe.

"Are there so many formations in that landscape painting?"

The ordinary students of Yunmo Xinhu were already confused by what Zhong Cang said.

Mo Shuyu, the arrogance and confidence on her face was also fading away little by little... In fact, in the end, her expression had become a little pale.

Zhong Cang still respected Mo Shuyu, whom he originally intended to teach. Every time he called his name, he would call him Master, and there was a look of respect on his face.

And from Zhong Cang's tone, Mo Shuyu also heard that Zhong Cang sincerely thought her design was ingenious and had a deep understanding of the formation.

More importantly, Zhong Cang only understood the basics of the formation and was unable to set it up.

Not only can she arrange formations, but having thoroughly comprehended some formation knowledge and principles, she can also design formations on her own - the formations in this Four Spirits Mountains and Rivers Map are nested and fused, and most of them are designed by her.

Creating a design is always more difficult than observing some information. Therefore, she should not be afraid of Zhong Cang.

However, Mo Shuyu did not forget one thing - Zhong Cang had only been practicing for a short time and his magic power was low. He only had a short time of an incense stick to enter the map.

Although he was so weak, he had comprehended most of the formation that he was proud of in just one hour. At this moment, Mo Shuyu could not imagine what level Zhong Cang would reach if he reached his level and devoted himself to comprehending the formation for decades.

"Is this the genius that the dean is talking about... My talent is great in Snow Lake City, but in front of a true genius, it's nothing..."

Mo Shuyu was shocked.

Because Zhong Cang had comprehended so many things, so incredible, even though Mo Shuyu knew that Zhong Cang could not deceive her under the eyes of the law, she still couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure that everything you know is all your own understanding, and no one else told you in advance?"

Hearing this, Zhong Cang pointed to the Four Spirits Mountain and River Map in the air, then pointed to Mo Shuyu, and said quietly: "It is this, and what you told me, teacher."

Zhong Cang did not lie about this. What he learned was indeed the Dao rhyme in the Mountain and River Map, and what his teacher Mo Shuyu "actively" told him.

But Mo Shuyu didn't know this. Seeing Zhong Cang's behavior, she thought that what Zhong Cang meant by "telling" was that she had written her heart and soul into it, and Zhong Cang understood it.

Although, this is not wrong. The reverberation of the Dao sound is Zhong Cang's original talent, which cannot be forgotten or lost. Because it is always there, Zhong Cang's increased understanding has also become permanent. In this case, Zhong Cang is indeed a peerless genius in terms of understanding.

...After getting the answer from Zhong Cang and his Dharma Eyes still showing no reaction, Mo Shuyu already understood that Zhong Cang was just as Robende said, a monster even stronger than himself.

After realizing this, she was a little dazed, but mostly happy.

"Originally, we just wanted to train him so that he would be qualified to compete with the children of the aristocratic families and avoid a disgraceful loss for the Taoist Academy. But now, he has such talent, our plan may need to be adjusted..."

His eyes turned, and soon, Mo Shuyu had other ideas, and thought about taking Zhong Cang to carry them out.

However, she couldn't leave, at least not now, because the other students in Yunmo Xinhu were still waiting for her assessment.

However, just as Zhong Cang had worried before, he was the first to come forward, and because his performance was too outstanding, the others who came on stage later did not get any surprises.

When he heard that the next few people had either comprehended a formation or noticed two, Mo Shuyu's expression was indifferent, without any sign of interest.

The students in the audience also responded and chatted.

It wasn't until the seventh person that her brows furrowed slightly.

"I saw the Underworld Furnace... Buzz!"

I don’t know what this cultivator who was called to the platform by Teacher Mo Shuyu was thinking. He didn’t tell the truth, but instead plagiarized Zhong Cang’s answer.

As expected, Mo Shuyu discovered his lie and punished him.

"Boom!"

As a bolt of lightning struck, the man was struck to the ground in darkness.

Mo Shuyu's expression was also frighteningly cold: "Don't even think about deceiving me. You are limited by your talent and cannot pass the assessment. I won't say anything about that, but if you dare to deceive me, this is the outcome!"

After these words were spoken, everyone immediately stopped acting recklessly.

But because of this, none of them were worthy of Mo Shuyu's attention as they were honest.

Even Chang Quan and Jin Cheng, the top geniuses in the class, observed between five and seven formations - five for Chang Quan and seven for Jin Cheng.

Strictly speaking, detecting traces of five to seven formations in an hour is not bad, but it’s because Zhong Cang is too outstanding.

In the end, apart from Zhong Cang, only Qi Wei made Mo Shuyu look up to her - the latter observed thirteen formations.

However, after knowing the answer, neither the students of Yun Mo Xinhu nor the formation teacher Mo Shuyu turned their gazes to Qi Wei, but looked at Zhong Cang.

They were not stupid and understood Qi Wei's situation better. After thinking a little, they understood why Qi Wei could observe so many formations.

This also makes everyone feel infinite envy for Qi Wei.

Yes, they envied Qi Wei and envied her for being able to follow Zhong Cang.
