Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 187 Bai Muyun Spits Blood
Bai Muyun was completely dumbfounded.

He was very familiar with the contents of the booklet—its concise and accurate writing style and its comprehensive and detailed explanations.

He had met Wu Tao before.

It was through the rune analysis presented by Wu Tao that he confirmed the other party's talent in formations and made up his mind to train Wu Tao to fight against Zhou Qing.

However, the rune analyses Wu Tao provided him, totaling only a little over a hundred, were enough to make him exclaim that he was a genius.
The booklet in front of us contains thousands of analyses of the same quality...

Bai Muyun suddenly felt that the booklet in his hand was incredibly heavy, so heavy that he could hardly bear it.

Bai Muyun seemed to have all his energy drained away; his hands hung limply at his sides, and even his back was hunched over.

Chang Xin took the booklet from Bai Muyun's hand, looked at Zhou Qing excitedly, and said, "Young friend, how many rune fluctuations did you measure?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The more than 6,000 from the Qingyun Sect, plus the 1,500 shared by all sects over the past three days, total nearly 8,000, have all been measured."

For him, measuring the frequency of rune fluctuations was effortless; he only needed to "see" it with his magnetic field induction.

But this seemed like a fantasy to the array masters.

The theory of rune fluctuations was still very new to them, and they had absolutely no idea how to measure rune fluctuations.

Because this is completely different from their previous understanding of formations.

Previously, they studied runes based on the Five Elements theory.

The Five Elements theory is merely a summary and organization of the characteristics of spiritual energy, and it still deals with phenomena that can be directly observed.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy have now penetrated to the essence of things and are no longer directly observable.

Since it cannot be observed directly, it is naturally even more difficult to determine its fluctuation frequency.

That's why Chang Xin was certain that the future work of a formation master would be to devise a method to measure the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and then measure the fluctuation frequency of all runes.

But now he has been told that the work is almost finished.

What would normally require several or even dozens of generations to complete was accomplished by its founder alone.

Zhou Qing essentially single-handedly completed the construction of the entire edifice of wave theory.

This is the most shocking part for the formation masters.

Zhou Qing asked Chang Xin for the booklet and said with a smile, "Can this prove my identity?"

Chang Xin smiled wryly and said, "This evidence couldn't be more solid."

Chang Xin's words were tantamount to a definitive statement in the debate.

Everyone understood that the dust had settled, and Zhou Qing had dealt Bai Muyun a fatal blow with unbelievable methods.

Not only Bai Muyun, but also the heads of the four major families and the several people from the Transmission Hall who came to congratulate him, all looked ashen-faced.

The four family heads suddenly realized that their expensive array formation competition had ultimately become Zhou Qing's stepping stone.

The taste is simply unimaginable.

Chang Xin asked in confusion, "Young friend, you are a genius, I admire you, but why do you need to say it through young friend Wu Tao?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "I have no choice but to accept this. The Qingyun Sect's Array Court is in power and is excluding talented people, so my knowledge cannot be put to use."

"Wu Tao couldn't stand it anymore, so he devised this plan with me. If it weren't for Wu Tao's efforts, I don't know how long it would have taken for my theory of fluctuations to be published."

"Wu Tao deserves the most credit for this matter."

Wu Tao smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, you're too kind."

Chang Xin smiled and nodded, saying, "Good."

The three of them sang in harmony, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Bai Muyun felt a surge of hot blood rising in his chest, which he could not suppress. Finally, he opened his mouth and spat out blood, falling straight backward.

The venue erupted in another commotion.

The four family heads, along with Lü Qingzhu and others, hurriedly lifted Bai Muyun and flew down the mountain.

Bai Muyun was, after all, the head of the Qimen Hall, and the Array Academy was previously just one of his subordinate academies. When the array masters of the Array Academy saw him faint from anger, their first instinct was to follow him away.

But they soon realized that things were different now.

The current political landscape has changed drastically.

So they looked at each other and stopped in their tracks.

The venue fell silent again.

Zhou Qing stood on the high platform, smiling as he looked at the array masters and apprentices, and said, "I believe you are all familiar with me."

A few soft laughs came from the crowd, and soon others were infected and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's not just unfamiliar, it's practically legendary.

After today, the name Zhou Qing will become a legend of the Qingyun Sect.

He single-handedly confronted the entire Array Court and then seized the Array Court from its leader.

These things, one by one, seem unbelievable to everyone, yet he accomplished them all.

When everyone thought about all of Zhou Qing's past deeds, one word involuntarily came to mind:

An unpredictable and mysterious situation.

The methods are intangible and formless, but once they reveal themselves, they are as powerful as thunder, leaving no room for resistance.

It truly deserves the description of being unpredictable and mysterious.

Looking at the young man on the high platform, whose face had just shed its childishness, everyone thought that this excessively young cultivator would become their dean in the future, and also a powerful figure in the sect who, in name, was not the sect leader, but in reality, was no different from the sect leader.

They felt no contempt, but rather a deep sense of awe.

Zhou Qing continued, "From today onwards, I am the president of the Array Court. Now I will announce the personnel arrangements for the Array Court."

"In the future, the Array Court will be divided into an administrative department and a research and development department. The administrative department will manage the daily affairs of the Array Court, as well as the production and sales of array talismans. Wu Tao will serve as the head of the administrative department."

"The R&D department is responsible for the research of formations, and Elder Xuanzhe is in full charge of it."

"Apart from that, all other rules will remain unchanged and will not be altered for the time being."

"Then there is the treatment of all the array masters and array apprentices, which will be doubled compared to before."

The array masters and apprentices immediately erupted in cheers.

Zhou Qing said, "Alright, that concludes today's celebration. Everyone, go back and do your own things."

The formation masters exited one by one.

Only the formation masters from friendly sects, Wu Tao, Xuan Zhe, and Mu Zhuosha, remained.

Mu Zhuosha laughed and said, "You look really impressive today."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I'm still a little bit inferior to my senior master."

Mu Zhuosha said, "I'm afraid you'll surpass me soon."

"I met the dean."

Xuanzhe stepped forward to pay his respects.

Zhou Qing hurriedly said, "Uncle-Master Xuanzhe, there's no need for such formalities."

Xuanzhe shook his head and sighed, "When I first met you two years ago, you were just getting acquainted with array formations. Who would have thought that in just two years, the entire Array Academy would fall into your hands?"

"It seems I'm too old and can't keep up with the times."

“Master Xuanzhe, do not entertain such thoughts.”

Chang Xin walked over with a smile and said, "It's not that you're out of touch with the times, it's that you've encountered a once-in-a-millennium genius of formations."

"Being around geniuses is something most people would find difficult to adapt to, but it is a tremendous opportunity."
