After Xu Yang finished speaking, he floated on stage. Li Yang was like a shadow, following closely behind.

In front of the Hundred Flowers Palace, a group of disciples of the Imperial Sect looked at each other.

"What does Junior Brother Xu mean? He is confident of defeating Xingchenyuan?"

"It's natural to have such ambition...but with Junior Brother Xu's ability, I'm afraid... more defeats, less wins."

"Not necessarily, Junior Brother Xu has set up a heavenly level Xuan Gathering Formation in the secret realm, and his formation is not weak." Lu Yue said.

"I'm afraid it's not enough," Shangguan Jifeng said slowly, "Almost all the inner disciples of Xingchen Academy have the ability to arrange the heavenly-level formation. Even the more difficult Juxuan formation, at least half of them can arrange it. In other words, Junior Brother Xu's formation attainments can only be ranked in the middle of the Star Academy. In this formation battle, Xingchen Academy will definitely send one of the best formation masters to deal with it. Hope is very slim."

Seeing Xu Yang and Li Yang on stage, Xu Yang was the main figure in the fourth battle and the battle of formations, people around him were also talking, and the Star Courtyard laughed even more.

"It seems that the Emperor Sect gave up this battle and actually sent a Xuanjun! A Xuanjun is also worthy of fighting with my Star Courtyard?"

"It's simply a big deal of glory in the world. We can celebrate the victory in advance!"

On the high platform, Li Yang asked in a low voice: "Are you nervous?"

Xu Yang smiled slightly: "It's okay."

"Don't panic, just pretend there are a group of pigs around you," Li Yang said calmly, "The people on the opposite side, all the hosts are pigs."

Xu Yang almost laughed. Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Li looked cold, but in fact he was quite humorous. This sentence came from his mouth, and the contrast was quite large.

The two people sent by Xingchen Academy are also the top disciples in the sect. One of them is Yangshuo. They rank second in Xingchen Academy; the other is Peng Jing, ranks fourth.

Elder Liu Jing said slowly: "The battle of formations is divided into two parts: formation arrangement and formation breaking. Both sides must set up formations at the same time, and the formation must be completed within one hour. After the formation is completed, enter the formation set up by the other party at the same time to break the formation. Who will successfully break the formation first? It is considered to be a victory. Do you have any objection?"

Xu Yang raised his hand and said, "Elder Liu, I have a question. If neither side can break the opponent's formation, what should we do?"

Elder Liu Jing said: "It counts as a draw."

"So, can both sides walk freely on the stone platform when setting up the formation?" Xu Yang continued to ask.

Elder Liu Jing pondered for a while and said, "When you set up the formation, you can walk around, there is no problem."

"After an hour, will you start breaking the formation immediately?" Xu Yang continued to ask.

"Of course. This is the most fair way to do it." Elder Liu Jing did not hesitate.

Xu Yang smiled slightly: "Very good, Elder Liu Jing, I have no problem."

After confirming again, Elder Liu Jing finally announced that the two sides had set up their formations and started timing.

One hour is used to set up a formation, whether it is long or short. If the formation talisman is portrayed on the spot, the time is certainly not enough, but both sides must have prepared the formation talisman in advance. The work to do is to build the formation framework.

At this moment, the two disciples of Xingchen Academy, Yangshuo and Peng Jing, took out the array talismans and started to get busy. They first measured the direction. Then, on the west side of the stone platform hundreds of feet, they chose the appropriate direction as the landing point of the array talismans in various places.

"Well? Junior brother, why don't you move?" Li Yang asked in surprise.

Xu Yang smiled and waved his hand: "No hurry, no hurry."

Li Yang is a dull person. Since he chose to trust Xu Yang, he would not question him many times in the middle.

When he saw that the two people in Xingchenyuan had measured their directions and began to take out pieces of array talismans, pinched their hand gestures and pushed them into the ground, Xu Yang finally took action.

"Hehe, this talisman is painted in exquisite detail..." Xu Yang walked over, watched with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile.

The person who presided over the formation was Yangshuo of Xingchenyuan. He was focused and had no time to take care of him, but Peng Jing next to him was different. He stepped forward and said coldly: "If you don't set up the formation yourself, what are you doing here?"

Xu Yang smiled and said, "Look at it, don't be so stingy."

"Do you want to peek at the essence of Senior Brother Yang's formation? Is it easy to break the formation?" Peng Jing shouted.

Peng Jing thought Xu Yang would deny it, but Xu Yang continued to nodded with a smile and praised: "You are so smart."

"...you!" Peng Jing was speechless for a moment and wanted to use force, but he was afraid of Li Yang who was standing behind Xu Yang. He said to Elder Liu Jing angrily: "Elder Liu, these two people of Emperor Sect violated the rules!"

Seeing Elder Liu Jing's gaze, Xu Yang smiled and said, "I didn't hit you on this stone platform, and I didn't destroy your formation talisman. Where did I violate the rules?"

Elder Liu Jing said: "This is indeed not a violation of the rules... However, Xu Yang, I advise you to set up a good formation and not to think of any evil ways. Even if you lose, you must lose in a dignified way, so that you will not violate the way of a gentleman."

Xu Yang was upright and bowed to Elder Liu Jing: "Thank you for your teachings from Elder Liu, but this is Xu Yang's way to win. I hope the elders will forgive me."

"What, do you have a plan to win?" Elder Liu Jing was slightly surprised. He couldn't understand why Xu Yang said that he could win in the face of a huge gap?

"Elder Liu Jing, just look at it. Anyway, Xu Yang will never violate the rules, but it will just surprise everyone a little," Xu Yang laughed, his eyes shining with confidence, "This battle... my Emperor Sect will definitely win!"

"Hmph, everyone will say big talk!" Peng Jing did not need to set up a formation anyway, but instead went to Xu Yangmao and mocked, "You ignorant boy, do you know what my Star Academy is best at? Yes, it's the formation! In previous formation duels, my Star Academy has always won more than defeated, and under fair competition like the Battle of Five Essentials, he has never lost! If you want to win, dream!"

Xu Yang smiled slightly, and did not argue with him. He walked beside Yangshuo, who was setting up the formation with his hands on his back, carefully watching his formation process.

Not only did Yangshuo feel uncomfortable, but even Peng Jing, who was beside him, looked angry. However, when they saw Li Yang wearing black clothes and stiff face, they could only keep their anger in their hearts and cursed Xu Yang and Li Yang in their stomachs.

Time passed quickly, and it was already half an hour in a blink of an eye.

"Half of the time has passed, are you still wandering here?" Yangshuo's formation had been arranged three-quarters. He finally freed up a little energy and glared at Xu Yang, "Disappear quickly!"

Xu Yang focused on his formation and smiled, "What's the hurry?"

After pausing, Xu Yang pointed to a corner of the array and said, "Sorry, there seems to be some problems with your corner of the array... I think it seems better to change to a 'shift' array talisman?" (To be continued...)
