Chapter 555 Little Yun, Are You Satisfied with Him?
Wang Teng didn’t care that they called him master. He was already a master-level runemaster, so he didn’t need their acknowledgment. His spirit was at the Imperial Realm, exceeding all the runemasters present. He believed that it wouldn’t take too long for him to become the one and only grandmaster-level runemaster on Earth.
Even in the Xingwu Continent, there were only a few grandmaster-level runemasters. This was the accumulation of many years of history. Earth’s development was too short, so they couldn’t compare with the other side. Once Wang Teng took one step forward, he would become the top runemaster on Earth. After a round of discussion, everyone was finally convinced by Wang Teng. They started deploying the Black Tortoise Sky-Lock Array. The blacksmiths worked on the materials needed for the array and used them to make vessels that could carry runes on them.
The large-sized array would be hosted by Wang Teng, so he took the leading role and started commanding the advanced-stage and master-level runemasters without any hesitation.
In the end, he was the free one. All he did was be an evil supervisor.
Boom!
While everyone was working hard to build the array, explosions were suddenly heard in the distance.
Wang Teng looked into the sky and frowned slightly. “Master Chu, please take a look over there. I’ve told those people many times, but they must have made a mistake in the rune array again. Their proficiency is so low,” Wang Teng said.
“Alright, I’ll go immediately!” Chu Yongnian was busy carving a rune, but when he heard Wang Teng’s words, he agreed and put down his work. He hurriedly rushed in the direction of the explosion.
Wang Teng looked at his work and nodded silently. Among all the runemasters, Chu Yongnian’s enlightenment was the highest. He understood what he was saying instantly and was detailed in his work too. He was indeed much better than the rest.
Talent was extremely important in both martial arts and runes. Hard work could compensate a little, but without talent, the journey would be tiring.
Chu Yongnian had brought two disciples along this time. They stayed beside him to assist him. When they saw a young man ordering their master to do his bidding, they were infuriated.
One of them said, “Master, Wang Teng’s martial arts ability might be strong, but your rune mastery must be better than his. Yet, he threw all the tiring work to you and is just resting over there. This is a little outrageous.” “That’s right, he’s also a young man, but he doesn’t know how to respect his elders,” Chu Yongnian’s other disciple echoed.
Chu Yongnian stopped in his tracks. He glanced at them and snorted. “We have all seen his level of rune mastery and are convinced by him. In any field, the best takes the lead. If you’re weaker than him, you should accept it humbly and learn.
“What’s more, you don’t understand the worth of this array. Rune studies have reached this level after many years of development. However, some high-level rune arrays are still kept a secret by the Xingwu Continent. We can’t get them at all. However, Wang Teng passed it down to us without any reservation and didn’t ask for anything in return. Why are you thinking that he’s boasting?” Chu Yongnian glanced at the two disciples. They didn’t know what to reply to him, so he continued, “He’s the most familiar with this array. If he did it personally, he’d be able to complete it within five days. How much can we learn then? The best way to learn is through a combination of theory and experience. You think he’s ordering me around?
“Rather than having such useless thoughts, why don’t you immerse yourself in the array. I’m sure you’ll benefit greatly.”
His tone sounded a little disappointed. After he finished speaking, he ignored the two youngsters and rushed to the area of the explosion.
Chu Yongnian’s disciples turned red and white in embarrassment. At the same time, they were worried that Chu Yongnian would regard them as unpromising. Their futures would be destroyed.
At the same time, a runemaster was sitting on the ground absent-mindedly with a dirty face. There was a deep hole in front of him.
“Old Fang, what’s wrong?” Chu Yongnian went straight to the point without wasting any time. “This isn’t right. I followed his instructions clearly. Why did it explode?” The runemaster called Old Fang muttered to himself, ignoring Chu Yongnian completely. “Old Fang, Old Fang.” Chu Yongnian shook his head helplessly. “Ah, what? Old Chu, aren’t you in charge of the center section? Why are you here?” Old Fang regained his senses. He was puzzled. “You caused an explosion. Shouldn’t I come to take a look?” Chu Yongnian scolded. “Alright, tell me what happened. I don’t have time to waste on you.” Old Fang gave a bitter smile and explained his rune-carving process. Chu Yongnian furrowed his brows tightly after hearing him. “Based on what you said, there shouldn’t be a problem. Why did it explode?” He leaned over and observed the rune Old Fang had carved. He tried to guess the problem using the remains of the rune. But the rune was damaged and incomplete, so he couldn’t see anything.
“Old Fang, did you hide some details because you’re embarrassed?” Chu Yongnian asked curiously.
Runemasters were egoistic people. They would rather investigate their mistakes alone than say them out loud and ask for help. This was why Chu Yongnian was suspicious.
“Bullshit, wrong means wrong. What’s there to hide? Why would I do that?” Old Fang was infuriated.
Chu Yongnian smiled in embarrassment. They had known each other for many years, so he knew that Old Fang wasn’t that kind of person.
The two of them could only carve the rune again at the same spot. Half an hour later…
Boom!
Another explosion resounded. This time, Chu Yongnian’s face was injured too, but their strength wasn’t that weak. A small rune explosion wouldn’t hurt them. “So, what do you have to say now?” Old Fang smiled at this plight. He found an avenue to vent his frustration. Look, it’s not my fault. You made a mistake too.
“What’s going on? I honestly don’t understand.” Chu Yongnian touched his head in confusion. He frowned and racked his brain.
Old Fang didn’t laugh at him again. He came over and joined him in studying the problem. Occasionally, he would offer his suggestion. They looked like two researchers.
Chu Yongnian and Old Fang’s disciples could only stay at the side silently. They couldn’t offer any help. After some time, they still couldn’t get it. Old Fang said helplessly, “Why don’t we ask Wang Teng to take a look?”
“Alright, that’s the only option left.” Chu Yongnian gave up struggling and nodded.
“Let’s go together.” Old Fang got up.
“There’s no need to find me. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
A voice came from above their heads. It was Wang Teng. “Master Wang, please take a look. What’s the problem here?” Chu Yongnian asked quickly. He was elated.
Wang Teng floated in mid-air. With a single glance, he noticed their problem. He replied calmly, “Your perception is wrong. These runes shouldn’t be carved from the first to the last. Instead, you should start from the outside and slowly carved inwards to form an enclosed formation. The core runes should be carved last and linked with the rest.”
The two people were enlightened. Their eyes lit up with joy as they shouted, “I see. So that was
it.”
“Alright, continue your carving.” Wang Teng left after solving their concern.
The two runemasters were full of compliments. “Master Wang’s rune mastery is much higher than ours.”
“This is probably a rune construction method from the Xingwu Continent. We have never seen this on Earth,” Old Fang said. “This rune construction method is their core. There’s nothing wrong in admitting it; if we were to do the research ourselves, we wouldn’t be able to realize it for many years. Rune studies are too profound and complicated,” Chu Yongnian said.
Old Fang nodded in agreement.
Their disciples stared at them with their mouths agape before glancing in the direction where Wang Teng had left. They had to admit that even though their age was around the same, they couldn’t hold a candle to him.
Wang Teng seemed free, and he really was. Other people had similar problems like Chu Yongnian. These were all secrets of the Xingwu Continent. They had never encountered them before, so they were confused.
Wang Teng’s job was to solve their problems and enlighten them. These people were the best batch of runemasters. Their understanding of rune studies was no weaker than others, so they could grasp what Wang Teng was trying to say immediately. He didn’t need to waste too much saliva.
As time passed, the Black Tortoise Sky-Lock Array was almost completed. It was at the last stages now. Today, Wang Teng went back to have breakfast with his family before teaching Doudou martial arts on an empty ground.
The little fellow practiced the basic fist skill very well. She even made sounds when she punched out her fists as if this would increase her aura.
But to others, no matter how hard she screamed, her voice and appearance were always cute.
Grandpa Wang and everyone in the Wang family was looking at her with smiles on their faces. They doted on this young girl and didn’t discriminate against her just because she didn’t have their blood.
This little girl had gradually merged into the Wang family.
The Xu family, the Bai family, and some other families made some cooperating deals with the Wang family. In summary, they would rely on the Wang family for survival, and the Wang family would provide them with some protection Wang Teng had no qualms. He was friends with Xu Jie and Bai Wei, so he would offer them help if they needed it.
