Cultivation: Start From Upgrading My Computer

A Little Knowledgeable

After everything was over, Yan Changfeng did not forget to apologize personally to Cheng Xu. He said, “I’m sorry, brother Cheng. I’ve embarrassed myself.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled. He could only say that he was indeed the future successor of the Yunzhong Sect. His bearing and quality were just different. “Which family doesn’t have a brat?”

“Damn it! Who are you calling a devilish brat?” Hu Jiaojiao exploded in anger.

Cheng Xu smiled without saying anything. Yan Changfeng glared at Hu Jiaojiao, and she could only step back, feeling wronged.

There’s a good saying. Everything has its own weakness. It seemed that there was still someone who could subdue this devilish child.

“This girl, Jiaojiao, has been spoiled rotten by Martial Uncle Hu. I am deeply sorry for brother Cheng’s expulsion from the sect,” Yan Changfeng continued. He also knew that the Yunzhong Sect was at fault in this matter.

“It’s fine. It’s all in the past,” Cheng Xu replied.

“On the contrary, Ci’er’s character is a bit timid. I hope brother Cheng can take care of her,” Yan Changfeng added, changing the topic to Bai Ci’er.

Cheng Xu smiled and nodded. Even if he didn’t say anything, he would still take care of Bai Ci’er. After all, in the entire Yunzhong Sect, only Bai Ci’er and Yang Tianqi could make him retain some of his friendship.

However, Yan Changfeng’s words attracted many shocked gazes. Especially Wang Xiaolun, who became unhappy at his statement. He interrupted, “Brother Changfeng, I don’t like what you’re saying. With me, the leader of the early-stage foundation building team, here, do you think I can’t take care of little sister Ci’er?”

Yan Changfeng only smiled and glanced at Wang Xiaolun, not saying a word. If Wang Xiaolun had been a little more reliable, he would not have been so worried about Bai Ci’er.

“Yan Changfeng, what do you mean by this? Don’t think that the mid-stage of the foundation building realm is so great. I will surpass you one day!”

“Oh,” Yan Changfeng smiled indifferently, as if he did not take Wang Xiaolun seriously.

When the burly Huyan Zan saw this, he rebuked in a deep voice, “Don’t embarrass the Scorching Sun Sect.”

Only then did Wang Xiaolun calm down. However, he still looked at Yan Changfeng with displeasure.

In the following journey, everyone was much quieter. Those who discussed the mission discussed the mission, and those who wanted to cultivate cultivated. Everyone was recuperating and conserving energy for the next mission.

Cheng Xu’s team was no exception, but Wang Xiaolun wasn’t very well-liked by his teammates.

Heluo Kingdom was a long way to go, and most of them had nothing to do on the way. Brother Yue Yang of the Divine Luo Palace sat cross-legged in a corner, carefully maintaining and adjusting the formation disk, which successfully aroused Cheng Xu’s curiosity.

After all, he had already installed 43.8MB of formation knowledge, so he had a certain level of understanding of formation skills.

“Brother Yue, did you make this formation plate yourself? It’s so exquisite,” Cheng Xu clicked his tongue in wonder and leaned forward.

“Why? Are you interested in formations?” Yue Yang asked with great interest.

“I know a little.”

“Is that so?” Yue Yang replied, secretly surprised. He continued, “I didn’t expect Daoist Cheng to know about arrays. Then tell me, what kind of array have I constructed on my array board? What effects does it have?”

Seeing that Cheng Xu was discussing the formation with a disciple of the Divine Hall, many people looked at him with sneers.

Seizing the opportunity, Hu Jiaojiao started to speak sarcastically, “How dare you talk about formations in front of a Godly Palace cultivator? I really don’t know who gave you the courage to do so.”

Even Liu Qiao from the Godly Gaze Hall looked over with interest. He commented, “Brother Cheng, don’t look down on Junior Brother Yue just because he’s only at the peak of the Qi refining stage. In terms of achievements in formations, he has always been one of the top three disciples in the godly gaze Hall.”

Faced with everyone’s doubts, Cheng Xu only smiled and said nothing. He had already finished scanning and reading the spell formation in Yue Yang’s hands. He just needed to read the system information directly.

[Small Armor Removal Array]

[Rank: Rank Two]

[Effect: After releasing the formation, it effectively weakens the defensive spells and armor protection of enemies within the formation.]

“I see. It’s a small armor removal formation. It can effectively weaken the defensive spells and armor protection of the enemies inside the array,” Cheng Xu replied calmly. “However, brother Yue’s set of array discs has yet to reach the limit of the minor armor dismantling array. It should only be able to reduce about 20% of the defense and protection effect.”

As soon as he said that, everyone looked at the Divine Hall members in the group. On the other hand, the disciples of the Godly Gaze Hall widened their eyes in surprise. They did not expect him to actually know about formations.

It should be known that the small armor removal array was a second-order array, and people without any array knowledge would not be able to see it, not to mention that Cheng Xu could see that Yue Yang’s array board was not in a perfect state.

Obviously, it wasn’t as simple as just “knowing a little.”

“Really? Are you sure you didn’t just randomly guess?” Hu Jiaojiao’s face was filled with disbelief.

The beautiful girl from the Divine Hall said sternly, “No, no, no. This little handsome guy obviously knows about formations.”

“How is that possible?” Hu Jiaojiao found it hard to accept.

When he looked at Yue Yang’s side, his eyes were wide open in shock, “I didn’t expect you to know about spell formations. As far as I know, no one in the Medicine Immortal Valley studied spell formations, right? May I ask where you learned the formation from?”

“I’ve collected some formation books and tried to figure them out for a while, but I haven’t been able to do it myself.”

“…” Yue Yang’s eyes were full of shock. “Brother, you must be joking with me. Arrays are complicated and profound. How can you learn it just by reading a few books on arrays?”

Cheng Xu put on a harmless look and smiled.

On the side of the Milky Way, Yan Changfeng and the others, including Tang Xuan, looked at Liu Qiao. “Is that possible?”

“It’s unlikely. The Dao of formations is rather special. Without someone to guide you, it’s difficult to even get started,” Liu Qiao said, shaking his head.

“Then how do you explain Cheng Xu’s situation?”

“This… I can’t figure it out either.” Liu Qiao looked at Tang Xuan in disbelief. “Brother Tang, are you sure that no one in the Medicine Celestial Valley taught him about arrays?”

“There’s no one in our Medicine Immortal Valley knowledgeable enough to teach about arrays.” Tang Xuan said with certainty.

“What about the Yunzhong Sect?” Liu Qiao turned to look at Yan Changfeng.

Yan Changfeng frowned and shook his head, saying, “Although a few elders study formations in our Yunzhong sect, Cheng Xu was only an outer sect disciple before. I’m afraid it would have been difficult for him to get in touch with them.”

“Then did he really learn it by himself?” Liu Qiao scratched his ears and cheeks, puzzled.

Little did they know that what truly shocked them had yet to come. They saw Cheng Xu staring at the array board in Yue Yang’s hand before asking tentatively, “That… I haven’t personally constructed a formation plate before. I wonder if brother Yue can let me try?”

If it was before, Yue Yang would definitely not agree. After all, a formation disk was an extremely sophisticated and expensive thing. Just like a barber’s scissors, it could not be touched by outsiders.

However, learning that Cheng Xu was self-taught aroused Yue Yang’s curiosity greatly. After a moment of hesitation, he still handed the array board to Cheng Xu and cautioned, “Just don’t blindly do things that you don’t understand.”

“Alright, alright. Thank you, brother Yue,” Cheng Xu replied and happily took the formation disk. Then, under the surprised exclamations of the Godly Palace disciples, he pulled out all the formation needles on the formation nodes in one go.

Bang! Bang!

With a soft sound of the energy structure collapsing, the array disc returned to a metal disc without any fluctuations on the spot.

“Well, I’ll try to see if I can restore it!” Cheng Xu declared. Before the disciples of the godly Luo Hall could recover from their shock, he had already started to construct the formation on the formation plate, which stunned everyone.

He stared at the dense small holes on the array board and brought up the array diagram of the small armor removal array in front of his eyes. The CPU was running at high speed, responsible for calculating the distance of the small holes on the array board and various combinations.

After a short calculation, the best composition scheme emerged in Cheng Xu’s mind.

He decisively picked up a fire element array needle and inserted it into the small hole in the upper left corner of the array board. He also accurately controlled the depth of the hole. Then, one after another, he inserted the needle smoothly without any hesitation.

The scene dumbfounded the Godly Palace disciples. This feeling was like a group of carving masters watching someone use an ax to chop at a stone.

Even more unbelievable to them was that there seemed to be no problem with the small holes in which Cheng Xu had inserted the needles. They’ve seen unorthodox ways. But they’ve never seen such an unorthodox method.

A moment later, under everyone’s stunned gazes, the hundred or so formation needles were all inserted into the formation plate. However, the formation plate didn’t show any energy fluctuations like when a formation was formed.

“Uh, I think I’m still missing two earth element needles,” Cheng Xu muttered before turning his head and looking at Yue Yang. “Brother Yue, do you still have more?”

Yue Yang handed over two earth element needles in a daze. Then, under everyone’s dumbfounded eyes, Cheng Xu inserted two earth element needles into the formation plate.

Weng~!

A layer of energy field-like fluctuations instantly appeared on the formation plate.

He succeeded?! The crowd of onlookers looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Hu Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in disbelief. She exclaimed, “Impossible! This must be fake!”

Cheng Xu looked at the first array he had constructed with satisfaction and then returned it to Yue Yang. “I’ll have to trouble brother Yue to take a look at the construction of this small armor removal array.”

“Alright,” Yue Yang said. He swallowed his saliva. Then, he held the array board in his hand and injected his True Qi into it from the bottom.

The next moment, a series of runes condensed from true Qi spread out from the array disc and formed an array with a diameter of more than ten meters, enveloping the onlookers.

“Three… 30%?” Yue Yang muttered, looking at the array board in his hand in disbelief.

The surrounding crowd could naturally feel the effects of the formation as well. Pairs of incredulous eyes gathered on Cheng Xu in unison. The disciples of the Godly Luo Palace, in particular, began to doubt their lives.

After a while, the disciples of the Shrine Luo gathered around Yue Yang and started to study the details of the small armor-removal array. From time to time, there would be sounds of amazement.

As for the disciples of the other sects, they looked at Cheng Xu with strange expressions.

“Awesome, my senior brother!” Miao Changsheng cheered as he moved closer to Cheng Xu in surprise. He had thought that Cheng Xu was already impressive enough to learn how to refine medicine by himself. He did not expect him to do that again. This time, on how to use arrays.

On the other side of the Milky Way ship, Tang Xuan’s eyes lit up as he almost laughed out loud.

It took a long time for Liu Qiao to recover. “If he’s really self-taught to this level, his talent in the Dao of formations must be heaven-defying!

“By the way, brother Tang, is your junior brother’s talent in alchemy also so heaven-defying?” Liu Qiao looked at Tang Xuan coldly.

“I’m not too sure about the details. But junior brother Cheng’s refining skills should be above mine,” Tang Xuan muttered.

“Really?”

Everyone on the Milky Way sucked in a cold breath.

“So there really is such a heaven-defying person in this world?” Huyan Zan of the scorching sun sect was bewildered. He turned to Yan Changfeng and asked, “Brother Yan, is there anyone else in your sect who has made mistakes? Why don’t you chase out a few more and let us pick them up?”

“…” Yan Changfeng smiled stiffly. He looked at Cheng Xu in front of him and then at Hu Jiaojiao beside him. He remained silent.
