Chapter 1774: Chapter 1774: Old Man: Please Shut Up!
What did you say?
Listen, what kind of nonsense is this?
What do you mean by "just treat this as a scroll"?
The commander was momentarily taken aback, his brows twitching as he said, "Why didn’t you just call it a scroll? Moreover, can a scroll have the effect of a formation with continuous amplification?"
Xu Yeming nodded, "Of course, this is something I spent my entire fortune begging from a certain elder, specifically for this battle!"
The commander asked, "Which elder..."
Before he could finish, Xu Yeming interrupted righteously, "As long as the war can be won, we cultivators must sacrifice everything!"
The commander asked, "Then you..."
Xu Yeming raised his fist, "I don’t need rewards or compensation. The strength and prosperity of my country is all that matters."
The commander said, "You..."
Xu Yeming said, "It’s fine, no need to thank me."
Finally, the commander couldn’t hold back anymore. His face turned dark as he said, "Why is a candidate like you so shameless? Can you stop cutting me off? Why is your act so over the top?"
Xu Yeming blinked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
The commander covered his face, secretly cursed in his heart, realizing he’d been played by this brat’s antics and was now growing flustered.
Xu Yeming also came to a realization, his face darkened as he said, "You were the proctor from the previous trial, weren’t you? Why are you so into this kind of mischievous fun?"
The commander huffed coldly, "So what if I am? Now that you’ve figured it out, you should know that this strategy is useless once exposed... Likewise, your position will soon be tenuous."
With that, the commander sneered and waved his hand, shouting, "The Crystal Commander is an enemy spy! Arrest and execute him immediately!"
Xu Yeming snorted coldly, "An elder who has lived for millions of years, losing composure in front of a junior, failing to maintain decency, flying into a rage out of shame and smashing things—if I were you, I’d bury my head into a coffin and never show my face again."
The commander clenched his fists, his brows twitching uncontrollably as he said, "Even the first trial was personally tested by me..."
No wonder.
It seemed like during the first trial, he’d already been infuriated quite a bit by the brat.
Xu Yeming spread his hands and said, "Isn’t it the same? Millions of years lived for what? You don’t even have the slightest bit of magnanimity, yet you’re here bickering with a junior?"
"You... this old man... dammit!" The commander roared in fury, "Execute him immediately!"
He then turned his gaze to Xu Yeming, sneering, "Boy, let’s see if you can shut that mouth of yours now."
Xu Yeming nodded, "Sure."
"Then beg for mercy."
"No need."
The elder: "???"
Xu Yeming pulled out a brush and started sketching in the void.
Divine energy transformed into ink, dispersing into dozens of streams that surged towards the scrolls Xu Yeming had just created!
They then seeped into the scrolls.
Under the stunned gaze of the onlookers, the scrolls unfurled on their own.
A sound like a newborn baby’s cry screamed out!
As the scrolls slowly spread open, a strange and ferocious beast with the body of a sheep, a human face, its mother under its armpit, tiger-like teeth, and human claws squirmed out of the scroll!
"Renowned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, North Mountain Chronicles, the Dragon Gluttony Cauldron!" Xu Yeming waved his brush and shouted.
The commander was visibly shocked.
Classic of Mountains and Seas?!
The Dragon Gluttony Cauldron, massive in stature, opened its bloodthirsty maw, revealing sharp fangs as it devoured the surrounding enemy soldiers in one gulp!
With each bite, it swallowed thousands!
The Dragon Gluttony Cauldron naturally thrived on consuming men.
Its gaping mouth was akin to the earth splitting open into an endless, unfathomable rift valley.
Even from the commander’s own scroll, a Dragon Gluttony Cauldron burst forth!
However, the aura of this Dragon Gluttony Cauldron was far mightier than the rest.
Given Xu Yeming’s current capabilities, how could he summon dozens of similarly powerful Dragon Gluttony Cauldrons simultaneously?
Indeed, Xu Yeming’s face instantly turned pale and ashen.
But the overwhelming aura of this Dragon Gluttony Cauldron struck terror into the approaching Monarch God Realm experts.
Xu Yeming, now visibly weak, lazily waved his hand at the commander, "Farewell, shameless elder. I’m taking my leave... Oh right, shameless elder—no, elder, since you’ve already exposed your identity, you’re not allowed to strike anymore."
Otherwise, you’d truly be the kind of petty and disgraceful person I described, the kind who should bury themselves in their coffin once and for all."
Saying this, he calmly ignored the commander’s increasingly livid expression, crushed the Directional Sky Thunder Escape Talisman, and teleported back to the city walls.
The commander roared with anger, "Are all the younger generations today so disrespectful towards their elders? And do they all have such insufferable mouths?!"
If other Buddhist cultivators from this younger generation overheard, they’d likely shake their heads vehemently in denial.
No, we’re not like him, nor do we have his audacity!
Finding someone like Xu Yeming would probably be near impossible!
The commander took a deep breath, waved his hand, and Xu Yeming’s independent space disappeared instantly!
The trial was completed.
There was no point in continuing.
Xu Yeming’s actions...
He had released Dragon Gluttony Cauldrons right in the midst of various armies, catching everyone off guard and causing massive losses to the military, including the deaths of Monarch God Realm experts!
The Dragon Gluttony Cauldron summoned from his scrolls could even entangle these Monarch God Realm commanders for a while.
During that time, they could neither retaliate nor prevent their armies from suffering catastrophic numbers.
This bought Xu Yeming enough time to recover.
Once recovered, surviving until the seventh day would be no challenge to him.
Rather than dragging things out until the seventh day, it was better to let him pass the trial now!
The key point was... dragging it out for seven days might allow that brat to come up with even more maddening quips!
Watching Xu Yeming pass the trial,
other Buddhist cultivators from their independent spaces were dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
The seven days aren’t over yet!
How is it possible to clear the trial ahead of time?
Only Xu Chen looked deeply grave.
He didn’t care about how one could clear the trial early.
In his eyes, "Xu Luo’s" actions no longer resembled Xu Luo.
This only fueled his previous suspicions.
Now, the conclusion was mere inches away: "Xu Luo" was certainly not Xu Luo anymore.
Although "Xu Luo" had claimed earlier to be hiding his power and lying low,
such concealment couldn’t explain a complete transformation in personality and behavior!
A person’s true nature cannot fully reverse itself.
Even an earth-shattering event that causes a change in temperament would leave traces.
Previously, there might have been shadows of the old "Xu Luo" here and there.
But now, there was not even a vestige.
Thinking this, many previously inexplicable events began to make sense.
Perhaps... during that time in Cangxuan Academy, when the Purple Fire Tributor moved to capture Xu Yeming, was the moment the switch occurred?
The real Xu Luo might already be dead?
Or perhaps... the current "Xu Luo" is actually Xu Yeming?
Xu Chen’s pupils narrowed sharply at the thought.
If this were the case, the Xu Family might truly face an unprecedented calamity.
So... what should he do?
Should he attempt to eliminate him within the ruins?
Or wait until this matter concludes, gather definitive evidence, and hand it over to the family to handle, so as not to alert him prematurely?
