Petty Gambler

Chapter 1313: Insights into Spiritual Formations


Zhuang Xiaoqin spoke up, her gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present.


Upon hearing Zhuang Xiaoqin's inquiry, Lin Chen's seatmate, a chubby fellow, immediately stood up, straightened his back, and looked ready to give a performance.


"Teacher Zhuang, I can answer this question. As for talisman inscriptions, the talisman refers to the talisman paper we use, and the inscription is the materials martial artists use to write formations onto talisman paper, thereby creating talisman inscriptions."


The chubby fellow cleared his throat and spoke with immense pride.


Earlier, due to his argument with Lin Chen, he disrupted the class, leaving a poor impression on Zhuang Xiaoqin and inciting dissatisfaction among the other disciples.


Worrying that he'd struggle to find his footing in class in the future, he immediately stood up to answer the question, hoping to salvage his previous image.


He thought that with his answer, the disciples would certainly look at him differently and praise him endlessly in their hearts.


However, as soon as his words ended, the entire classroom burst into laughter.


Even Zhuang Xiaoqin couldn't help but smile lightly and shake her head upon hearing his answer.


"That really cracks me up. What kind of answer is this? Such a shallow answer; even a three-year-old might know this."


"This guy, he's actually our classmate. Sitting in the same class with him is genuinely an insult to us. He's truly got a pig brain."


"This guy is just here to be funny. Lacking any skill, he still forces himself to the spotlight. Ugly people sure love to make a fuss."


As soon as the chubby fellow finished speaking, the classroom was instantly filled with mocking and ridiculing comments.


The chubby fellow looked puzzled upon seeing this. After saying those words, weren't these people supposed to admire and adore him?


Yet, why were the results nothing but mockery and derison?


Hearing the surrounding students ridicule the chubby fellow, Zhuang Xiaoqin immediately gestured for him to sit down, then her gaze swept over the other individuals in the class once more.


"Although the reasoning from this classmate is a bit superficial, there's some truth in what he said. However, if we want to practice the way of the spirit arrays, we need deeper knowledge. Would any of the students here like to offer their opinions?"


Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at everyone and asked.


Upon hearing this, a youthful man dressed lightly, holding a feather fan, with a handsome appearance, sword-like eyebrows, and a remarkable demeanor, stepped forward.


"In my humble opinion, a spiritual formation is a form wherein martial artists use spiritual power combined with various materials to manifest a formation."


The young man unfolded his feather fan, gently waved it, and spoke to everyone.


"Wow, this young master is just too handsome. I wonder who he is?"


"You don't know him? He's Young Master Tan, Tan Yingping, one of the Top Ten Heroes of Yunlong City."


"I see. He's one of the Top Ten Heroes and from one of the Eight Great Noble Families. No wonder he has such insights into spiritual formations."


"He's really handsome. Seeing Young Master Tan makes my heart race. I'd be willing to do anything to spend a spring night with him."


Once the young man in the light clothes gave his interpretation, a group of female disciples gazed at him like lovestruck fans, eyes glittering, eager to leap into his embrace.


After Tan Yingping finished sharing his insights, he enjoyed listening to the adoration and flattering words of other disciples in the classroom.


Subsequently, his gaze fell on Qiu Yue, seated in the distance.


Tan Yingping chose to enroll in the Spirit Formation Hall primarily to study the knowledge of spiritual formations. After all, Zhuang Xiaoqin was the number one Formation Master in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, and


as Zhuang Xiaoqin's true disciple, his accomplishments in spiritual formations were equally remarkable.


Therefore, learning from Zhuang Xiaoqin would undoubtedly aid and improve his spiritual formation skills significantly.


However, Tan Yingping's purposes for joining the Spirit Formation Hall went beyond just this.


His other goal was to win over Qiu Yue, one of the Four Great Beauties in Yunlong Heavenly Palace.


As for Zhuang Xiaoqin, who was even more enticing and charming than Qiu Yue, he dared not entertain such thoughts at this moment.


After all, Zhuang Xiaoqin was genuinely a Creation Realm expert, and even if she wouldn't hate or reject him, if his intentions were revealed, the suitors of Zhuang Xiaoqin could drown him with just a spit from each.


Moreover, Zhuang Xiaoqin's pursuers were not to be trifled with and beyond what he could currently provoke.


Regarding Tan Yingping's answer, Zhuang Xiaoqin smiled faintly and nodded.


Tan Yingping's insights into spiritual formations were indeed rather profound.


With Tan Yingping's explanation given, naturally, Zhuang Xiaoqin wouldn't continue to inquire other disciples in the classroom.


In her view, the opinions of these disciples in the class would unlikely surpass Tan Yingping's depth.


However, at this moment, Qiu Yue's mouth curled into a mischievous smile as she glanced at Lin Chen.


"Lin Chen, I remember you once said that your understanding of spiritual formations is comparable to none. Since that is the case, why not come forward and share your insights now?" Qiu Yue sneered.


Lin Chen, upon hearing this, was left speechless. When did he ever say such a thing?


Lin Chen realized that this girl was sincerely trying to mess with him.


Faced with Qiu Yue's mischievousness, if Lin Chen backed down, wouldn't that suggest he was afraid of her?


So Lin Chen slowly stood up from his seat.


The disciples who had just mocked the chubby fellow all turned their gaze to Lin Chen, ready to witness him embarrass himself.


After all, earlier, both the chubby fellow and Lin Chen spoke out and disrupted the lecture, leaving others with little goodwill towards Lin Chen.


The attention-loving chubby fellow had already embarrassed himself in front of everyone; they assumed Lin Chen wouldn't have any real skill.


Moreover, Lin Chen's cultivation was only at the Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer, so they anticipated that his remarks would be even more embarrassing than the chubby fellow's.


From Qiu Yue's earlier words, it was apparent that she didn't hold a favorable opinion of this Lin Chen.


Hence, naturally, everyone wanted to align with the goddess by properly ridiculing Lin Chen.


"A spiritual formation is actually a simplification of the Heaven and Earth Dao. During the Primordial era, countless mighty beings observed the Great Dao of heaven and earth, the strange phenomena of nature, comprehended various forms of Great Dao power, and expressed them through spiritual formations. All of our talisman paper…"
