Open up and break into another world

With a flash, Huang Gugang stood upon the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard.

“Watch carefully, Xu Ming! You're still far from being able to compete with me for 'First Disciple'!”

Huang Gugang sneered and immediately began to break the formations.

Formation Ninety-one Thousand Three Hundred and Three, broken!

Formation Ninety-one Thousand Three Hundred and Four, broken!

…

It had to be said that Huang Gugang had indeed put a lot of effort into the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard over the past hundred years. After stepping onto the chessboard, he actually broke eight formations in a row, directly breaking through to the Ninety-one Thousand Three Hundred and Tenth Formation!

The watching disciples were all shocked and沸腾!

“Is this Senior Brother Huang Gugang's true strength?”

“Too strong! He's ahead of Xu Ming by a full seven formations!”

“Does Xu Ming still dare to compete for 'First Disciple'?”

Within the Vault of Heaven Sect, the majority of disciples still sided with Huang Gugang. After all, Huang Gugang had occupied the 'First Disciple' seat for a long time, and his prestige within the Vault of Heaven Sect was not shallow. Xu Ming, on the other hand, was a newcomer, and even though he had already shown extraordinary talent, it was difficult to gain the approval of most disciples.

“Xu Ming!” Huang Gugang looked at Xu Ming provocatively. “Now, do you still dare to challenge my 'First Disciple' seat?”

Xu Ming gently shook his head and sighed, “It seems… I've assigned too little homework!”

“Huh?” Huang Gugang was dumbfounded—assigned too little homework? What did that mean?

At this time, Xu Ming said again, “Are you going to continue breaking formations? If not, then come down!”

“Hmph!” Huang Gugang arrogantly flew down from the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard, sneering, “Acting mysterious! If you have the ability, then break them for me to see!”

“Heh!” Xu Ming glanced at Huang Gugang with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot—he had seen idiots, but never one so idiotic! Since that was the case, then he would play with him a little longer!

Whoosh!

Xu Ming once again flew onto the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard.

“This time, how much 'homework' should I assign him?” Xu Ming thought as he began to break the formations.

Three formations!

Xu Ming strolled on the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard as if he were taking a leisurely walk.

He broke one formation with each step.

“Huh?” Huang Gugang's face darkened. “Xu Ming actually concealed his strength! —Hmph! However, even if he has concealed some, it definitely isn't much! Don't even think about competing with me for 'First Disciple'!”

Then, under Huang Gugang's wide-eyed gaze, Xu Ming calmly broke through the Ninety-one Thousand Three Hundred and Tenth Formation!

“Next formation!” Xu Ming deliberately paused, slowing down his speed. “It's still better to be a little slower, to give him some hope!”

This “Unraveling Heavens Chessboard” and this “First Disciple” title were just things Xu Ming had come to play with; he didn't really care about them. The one who cared about these things was Huang Gugang!

However, since he was here to play, Xu Ming naturally had to “play well.”

“He can't break it! He can't break it!” Seeing Xu Ming suddenly stop, Huang Gugang couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope, looking forward to it.

Then, under Huang Gugang's expectant gaze, Xu Ming “struggled” to break the Ninety-one Thousand Three Hundred and Eleventh Formation!

“Damn it!!” Huang Gugang gritted his teeth. “I didn't expect that he concealed a little more than I did!”

Until now, Huang Gugang still naively believed that Xu Ming's talent was only on par with his. Therefore, seeing that Xu Ming's number of broken formations had exceeded his, he only felt that Xu Ming's limit was just a little bit more than his, and didn't exceed him by much.

And Xu Ming was also very “cooperative” in his performance.

Standing at the next formation, Xu Ming looked even more “struggling.”

“He's reached his limit! It must be his limit!” Huang Gugang stared fixedly at Xu Ming.

Then, he saw that Xu Ming “struggled” for a long time, and finally broke another formation.

At the next formation, Xu Ming looked even more struggling.

And Huang Gugang became more and more expectant: “This time it must be his limit!”

In Huang Gugang's expectant gaze, Xu Ming “struggled” to break the formations one after another; unknowingly, Xu Ming had already broken through to the Ninety-one Thousand Three Hundred and Twentieth Formation!

“I'll just assign this much homework for now!” Xu Ming thought to himself.

“Ten formations” of homework was enough to keep Huang Gugang busy for a while!

“After he finishes this homework, I'll assign him a little more!” Xu Ming thought with a chuckle.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

…

Ninety-one thousand three hundred and twenty formations!

This was just a number, but Huang Gugang felt immense pressure. Because, if he wanted to regain the “First Disciple” seat, he still had to break eleven more formations!

And if he wanted to break eleven more formations, Huang Gugang would have to spend hundreds of years!

“Judging from Xu Ming's performance, it must already be his limit!” Huang Gugang thought to himself. “As long as I surpass him, I can take back the 'First Disciple' seat! The only thing I need to worry about is… Xu Ming will also continue to secretly study the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard! If he continues to study, I may not be able to catch up with him!”

It had to be said that Huang Gugang's imagination was really too rich! —Xu Ming would never go and study the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard, because Xu Ming had already broken all the formations of the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard, forging a perfect Dao foundation! The Unraveling Heavens Chessboard no longer held any secrets for Xu Ming.

However, thinking about it carefully, Huang Gugang's thoughts were actually normal! After all, who could have imagined that Xu Ming could actually solve all the formations of the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard; even if the other great powers within the Vault of Heaven Sect saw it, they would think that Xu Ming's number of broken formations was almost at his limit!

Therefore, it wasn't that Huang Gugang's imagination was too rich; his imagination was completely reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it! The only thing to blame was that Xu Ming was too perverted, so perverted that he had exceeded the imagination of others!

“Hmph! I won't admit defeat!” Huang Gugang's eyes gradually became more and more firm. “The 'First Disciple' seat can only be mine, no one else can even think about it! —Although Xu Ming is temporarily ahead of me, it's only temporary! There are still one or two hundred years before the Myriad Domains Genius Battle begins; before the Myriad Domains Genius Battle begins, I must regain my 'First Disciple'!”

Huang Gugang's eyes were firm, and he once again climbed onto the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard.

…

Elder Huangyou had extremely high prestige in the Vault of Heaven Sect!

It was said that when the current Sect Master of the Vault of Heaven Sect was only at the Chaotic Realm; Elder Huangyou was already an elder of the Vault of Heaven Sect!

Over hundreds of millions of epochs, the Vault of Heaven Sect had undergone countless changes; only Elder Huangyou had always guarded the Vault of Heaven Sect.

At the same time, Elder Huangyou was also Huang Gugang's master.

“Strange!” Elder Huangyou was somewhat puzzled. “Normally, Huang Gugang would come to me every few decades to ask for advice on secret techniques; why hasn't he come to ask me even once in the past hundred years? Could it be… that he has been cultivating very smoothly and doesn't need to ask me anything?”

Elder Huangyou also had some attainments in the Dao of Karma; with a pinch of his fingers, he calculated it.

“What! ? Huang Gugang has actually been wasting time on the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard for the past hundred years! ? ” Elder Huangyou's face was somewhat unsightly. “Studying the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard can't directly improve one's strength! The Myriad Domains Genius Battle is approaching, but instead of cultivating secret techniques and improving his combat power, he's doing these improper things! —Hmph! It seems that it's time to give him a good scolding!”

Elder Huangyou was somewhat annoyed and went straight to the Unraveling Heavens Chessboard.
