Chapter 2178
It did not take long for Xiao Chen to place all the Formation Stones according to Fengsha Sword’s instructions.
After he had placed all the stones in the formation, he instantly felt an unusually strong force spreading from the formation.
Buzz!
At the same time, a strong wave suddenly erupted from the formation.
This wave instantly filled the entire room, making Xiao Chen feel unusually depressed and uncomfortable. However, he saw Old Ghost open his eyes in the next moment and gently waved his hand at him. The force that made him feel uncomfortable instantly dissipated.
Following that, the formation power emitted by the terrifying formation also calmed down, and the entire room returned to its original peace.
However, Xiao Chen could still vaguely feel that there was a very terrifying force in the room. If he were to act rashly, he would definitely be instantly killed by this terrifying force, and his soul would fly away and scatter.
It was obvious that the formation that Old Ghost had set up just now had not been removed. Instead, it was hidden in the void, and it would not be easily sensed by others.
Xiao Chen stood still and did not dare to move recklessly. He was afraid that any movement of his would trigger the power of the formation and directly strangle him to death.
Old Ghost closed his eyes again, as if he was sensing something. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Chen with a look of surprise on his face. He asked with a smile, “Young fellow, you actually placed all the Formation Stones in the corresponding positions perfectly. How did you do it?”
“I … just felt where to place them based on my senses!”
Xiao Chen originally wanted to say that he knew that the formation had reversed, but at the last moment, Fengsha Sword reminded him not to say this.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he casually made up an excuse. He had used this excuse in front of Elder Zhang previously.
Everything depended on his senses. After all, senses were the most mysterious thing. No one could say that there was anything wrong with his answer.
Of course, the most important thing was that Xiao Chen remembered that when he said that he had completed the improvement of the formation by relying on his senses, Old Ghost did not seem to have any doubts. Therefore, he used the same excuse again this time. What made him feel relieved was that Old Ghost nodded after hearing his words and did not ask any more questions. It was obvious that he believed what he said.
“It seems that this young fellow’s affinity with formations is a little more terrifying than I thought. He can actually sense the direction of the formation’s reversal …” Old Ghost looked at Xiao Chen. Although he did not speak, he was very surprised, or even shocked, in his heart.
After all, even he was only at the stage of exploring the reversal of the formation. This time, he had only reversed a very small part of the formation.
It could be said that unless one’s attainments in the formation were extremely terrifying, one could not accurately grasp these reversals and accurately place the formation stones.
However, it seemed that Xiao Chen’s understanding of the formation was really superficial. He only knew some of the most basic things, but he could rely on his own senses to sense the reversal of the formation and accurately place the formation stones.
This kind of formation talent was a little terrifying. Old Ghost had been a formation master for many years and had seen countless geniuses, but it was the first time he had seen a formation talent as powerful as Xiao Chen. Therefore, he was quite shocked in his heart.
Therefore, his heart was even more determined about a certain idea.
“This young fellow’s perception of the formation is so keen. Maybe he can help me complete the progress of the formation …” Old Ghost’s eyes suddenly flashed a touch of light, then he said to Xiao Chen, “Young fellow, you go back first today. Come back to me in three days!”
“Ah?
Is the task completed this time? “Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He did not quite understand what Old Ghost meant.
“Hehe, don’t worry. Once this task is completed, your contribution points will not be lacking. As for you coming back in three days, if this old man is satisfied, this old man will directly give you 500,000 contribution points. How about that?” Old Ghost smiled, but what he said shocked Xiao Chen.
“So many contribution points …” Xiao Chen was a little shocked, but he still reacted quickly. He hesitantly asked, “Elder, since it is a task with so many contribution points, the difficulty of the task must be very high. I am worried that I can’t do it!”
He was not stupid. Old Ghost suddenly gave him such an exaggerated reward for no reason. Of course, he would panic in his heart.
“Don’t worry, I will not deliberately make things difficult for you. Moreover, even if you really can’t do the task in three days, this old man will still give you some contribution points as compensation. Do you want to come?”
Old Ghost’s face revealed an incomparably kind smile. His good attitude made Xiao Chen feel a burst of abnormality.
“This …” Xiao Chen hesitated again. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when something is out of the ordinary. To be honest, his heart was not particularly willing to agree. However, looking at Old Ghost’s kind smile and the firmness in his eyes, Xiao Chen knew that if he refused this time, he would definitely offend Old Ghost. Therefore, after hesitating for a little while, Xiao Chen directly agreed.
Now he had no other choice!
Old Ghost had named him by name and asked him to come back in three days. As an ordinary disciple, if he refused the request of an Elder, he could naturally imagine the consequences.
“Hehe, that’s more like it. Today you can go back first. Remember to come back in three days!” After Xiao Chen agreed, Old Ghost revealed a satisfied smile.
“Yes, this disciple will take his leave!” Xiao Chen cupped his hands in obeisance and immediately left.
What followed him was the 100,000 contribution points that Old Ghost had promised to complete this task.
What Xiao Chen did not know was that while he was unwilling to leave from Old Ghost, the entire Internal Affairs Hall had instantly burst into an uproar.
After all, Old Ghost’s task this time gave too many contribution points. For these disciples, it was a huge temptation. Although Old Ghost had driven away more than ten disciples in more than half a month, it was inevitable that there would be more people who were very confident and wanted to go to Old Ghost’s place to try. But now, when they were waiting for the task, they suddenly found that the task had been completed by someone else. How could they not be surprised?
