Chapter 130: A shocking talent

Chu Tian’s shocking display was not only seen by the crowd. Not far away, there was a small loft where there was one old and one young person standing there, their faces were filled with shock.

This old man was Yun Tianhe.

And the young girl was definitely Yun Yao!

The moment trouble appeared in the Yun Sect, people already went to report it. The moment Yun Yao and Yun Tianhe arrived at the scene, Yun Yao immediately recognized that the person holding Jiang Qi hostage was Lu Ren.

The two of them did not show up so they could watch Chu Tian’s appearance. Seeing the elegant eight thousand character ancient tome disappearing like a flower blooming had deeply shocked their hearts.

To Yun Yao.

She never would have thought that this young man would be so knowledgeable. He was knowledgeable about ancient and current texts, even being able to recognize the delicate language of the elven people. This was something that no master in Central State could do!

The one who was truly shocked was definitely Yun Tianhe!

Yun Tianhe was a very knowledgeable scholar and was very clear on the value of the entire first chapter of Mecidal Nerve. This youth could actually completely recite it. This kind of attainment, was very hard for Yun Tianhe to follow!

Genius?

No!

There were geniuses all around them right now!

But it wasn’t enough to describe him as a genius!

This was a monster, a complete monster!

Yun Tianhe couldn’t hold back any longer. He wanted to rush down and personally greet this miracle genius, but who would have thought that Yun Yao would actually stop Yun Tianhe, “Grandpa, what are you doing? Don’t you want to continue watching and see his other talents?”

Yun Tianhe’s heart skipped a beat, but he was still worried.

“You can relax!” Yun Yao said to Yun Tianhe, “I know this person’s attitude. The fact that he showed up today means he already has a plan ready. He is here to see me, so as long as he doesn’t see me, he will continue to show off until we have no choice but to show ourselves!”

This was a miracle genius.

But he was also a strange genius.

He was hard to control. Unless it was something he wanted to do, no one could make him do what they wanted. This was a once in a thousand years opportunity. If he allowed Chu Tian to continue showing off, it would open the eyes of the Yun Sect and it would let Yun Tianhe see what a truly highly skilled person was like!

“Alright!”

“Let’s keep watching!”

Yun Tianhe was actually very curious.

How many unexpected things could this young man do? As for the Yun Sect’s face, he did not even care about that. The Yun Sect deserved this kind of thing after constantly boasting.

……….

Yun Guangyan, Gao Haoran, Li Tai, and the crowd were all dumbfounded by their shock.

How was this possible?

The elven race had a longer history compared to the human race and they had created several hundred languages and writing styles, it was all very complex. Not to mention a small kingdom, even a scholar from a large kingdom or empire would not be able to speak the ancient elven language!

No wonder this fellow dared to act so arrogantly.

He was a truly talented scholar.

Just with this, he would be considered a rare talent. There would be no one that could compare to him!

“What’s wrong, are you all stunned? The Yun Sect’s level is quite mediocre!” Chu Tian’s sword returned to Jiang Qi’s neck, “A question that even a child could answer, you still think it’s enough to challenge me with?”

Chu Tian swore.

He really wasn’t just putting them down!

In the future, «Medical Nerve» was something that alchemist apprentices studied. Being able to recite it was the basic requirement for passing!

There were several elven languages that all scholars were required to learn!

Gao Haoran and Li Tai’s faces turned pale.

They never thought the situation would become like this.

This was troublesome. The Yun Sect’s prestige did not matter, but they were Gu Qianqiu’s disciples. If they lost to a wet behind the ears little brat, what kind of face would they have left?

They looked at each other.

Li Tai came forward, “Although we don’t know where you stole this first chapter, you still think you can be so arrogant based on this alone? We’ll let you know today what there’s also someone above you means!”

“Disciple Brother Li studies ancient texts, focusing on ancient history. He was even praised as being very knowledgeable by our teacher.” Gao Haoran looked at Chu Tian with a proud face as he spoke, “I am skill in rune arrays and although I can’t compare with teacher, I can still be considered quite skilled. We’ll both give you a chance. We’ll let you compete with whoever you want and in whatever fashion you wish!”

The two masters were personally making a move?

The Yun Sect members were stunned!

The two of them were disciples of grand scholar Gu Qianqiu, but they were still ordinary people!

Chu Tian did not pay them any attention. He just calmly said, “Too troublesome, come all together!”

“You……”

Chu Tian interrupted them, “First put out ten tables of Symbol Array Chess and then bring out the ancient text. I’ll play chess with you while competing in knowledge!”

Symbol Array Chess was a special kind of chess game.

Using an array as a chess board and runes as pieces, the sides would fight against each other. Now only does it test a person’s knowledge and strategy, it also tests their attainment in symbol techniques!

This kind of chess was very different from normal chess. Because the board was an array and considering the fact that there were thousands of arrays in the world, how could it be easy? Then considering that the pieces were runes and there were hundreds of millions of runes in the world, it was constantly changing with infinite paradoxes. There were countless secrets concealed and there were infinite mysteries!

A person that could play Symbol Array Chess was already considered an array master.

A person that was good at Symbol Array Chess was considered an expert.

One person playing ten games at once? And he wanted to face the Yun Sect’s masters? This was completely unprecedented!

Moreover, Chu Tian wanted to play chess while accepting the Yun Sect’s challenges. Comparing knowledge, stories, and intelligence using the ancient books of the Yun Sect, this would definitely put him in a disadvantageous situation.

Why would he do this?

Was there a hole in his brain?

No. Of course not. It was confidence. It was an unbreakable confidence!

This was looking down on them and it was openly looking down on them!

Gao Haoran was so angry he was completely muddleheaded, “Good! Good! Good! Then let’s compete!”

Yun Guangyan’s face turned pale.

This was too exaggerated. Even if the Yun Sect could win, they would be smearing their fame onto the floor!

There was no one that dared to move slowly as they immediately set up the chess boards. Before long, there were ten boards set up, but they were very strange. It was made of animal skill and had triangular, pentagram, oval, and hexagram array patterns painted all over it.

It was not hard to tell from the glow that it was a very strong array pattern. As long as one placed runes within, they could form a strong source energy array.

Symbol Array Chess used runes as pieces. They were written with source energy pens and the two runes would compete with each other. Whichever rune overwhelmed the other and formed a complete array was deemed the winner.

Ten different array patterns, each one was different.

The Yun Sect brought out a large bookcase with a large amount of ancient tomes placed within it. There were many tomes here that even the Yun Sect could not understand.

“Now we’ll do this in a half a joss stick’s worth of time!” Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction, “I don’t want to embarrass you, so if I even lose a single board, then it’ll count as my lose! If there is a book I cannot understand, then I lose! Let’s begin!”

Gao Haoran coldly snorted and said, “You can go first.”

“Then I won’t be polite.” Chu Tian gripped his source energy pen and without even thinking he began to write on the array patterns. Ten complex runes fell onto the array patterns.

Gan Haoran’s expression fell.

Symbol Array Chess board was not like ordinary chess board.

The Symbol Array Chess board constantly changed. Not only did the shape and content change, the element and principle of the array itself changed. If a normal symbol master studied it for their entire life, they would only understand two or three chess boards.

Facing this kind of strange board, the players had to studied the board itself before they began to write. This in itself is a very complicated matter.

But for Chu Tian?

With a single glance, he began to write. It was very clean and he did not waste any time!

If a rule did not conform to the array board, it would be repelled by the board and disappear without a trace. So a carelessly written rune had no way of fitting into the array pattern!

But these ten patterns shined bright on the array pattern and their aura circulated properly. This meant, these ten runes perfectly fitted with the array board!

What was even more terrifying was!

They had never seen a single one of these runes before!

In a match of Symbol Array Chess, the most important thing was to destroy the enemy’s rune and complete the array. If he put it down so quickly without even knowing what the enemy’s rune is, how could he break it?

Chu Tian saw this old geezer’s constipated expression and he laughed as he said, “No need to be polite! Your Yun Sect can come all together and compete in chess with me!”

“You’re going too far!”

“Old Gao, we’ll help you!”

The Yun Sect members were filled with indignation. They surrounded the ten chess boards and began to enthusiastically discuss with one another.

When Li Tai saw this, his eye twitched a few times. He gave a cold snort and pulled out an ancient book to throw at Chu Tian, “What kind of content is recorded on this book?”

Chu Tian stunned Jiang Qi by hitting him with a palm.

He caught the book with his free hand.

“Dragon language. To be accurate, it’s an ancient new dragon language. It describes a biography.”

“Water Crystal Dragon King Ahmi Xiuluosi was born in the bronze age year 1331 and died in the bronze age year 3412. He had dominated the Amousse grasslands for five hundred years, settling his base at the Dark Blood Dragon Peak. He had received the Dragon Emperor’s blessing. Altogether he had nine descendants, they are…..”

Was the dragon language a hard language?

Even a knowledgeable scholar would take several days of studying to decode a single symbol or punctuation. Chu Tian was reading it like a storybook, going from page to page, reading this dragon king’s life story. Not a single word was missed.

This was a very precious piece of literature!

Even Li Tai was weak to this kind of treasure.

Although it wasn’t a cultivation technique or a formula, it was still the life story of a very strong dragon. It included where he went, where he explored, where he died, and where he was buried……From this book, there was a possibility one could find an ancient rune!

Once Chu Tian had reached the end, he closed the book, “This is the writing of the lower class in the new dragon language, it was used by the low class members of the dragon race. So, this so called Water Crystal Dragon King was not a high leveled dragon. This kind of text is not challenging at all!”

Chu Tian flicked his hand.

The ancient book returned to the bookshelf.

When set time was over, Gao Haoran and the others drew a rune on each array pattern after carefully examining it.

There were offensive, defensive, camouflaged, and probing runes.

Chu Tian ignored all of it and without even thinking about it, the ten runes fell onto the chess board. The runes embraced the runes already on the board, but their styles were completely different.

Gao Haoran and the other Yun Sect masters all broke out in a cold sweat.

What is happening?

Why can they not understand this!

Gao Haoran privately said to the others, “This little brat’s array is quite strange, it is actually an unknown all around rune. It isn’t likely we’ll be able to break it. We only have one choice, stall!”

That’s right!

Stall it out!

They didn’t know how to break it or how to defend against it, so they could only stall. They would pay attention to the arrays and make sure that this little brat’s runes could not take over the array.

Even if they could not stop him, they had to stall!

Did the little brat say that if he missed even a single board in a half a joss stick’s time, he would lose? Then they would stall until he lost. There was one person by each of the ten boards. This was a very hard period because it would take an extremely strong memory and very strict logical skills.

There were over tens of Symbol Array Masters here including Gao Haoran!

They thought of various means to disturb him, destroy his rune, and block his attack. They didn’t seek to win, they just wanted to win with time!

Not looking to win, but stalling for time?

How could Chu Tian not see through their ideas?

But with this group of idiots’ powers, how could they think about stopping him! It was like using a mantis to stop a carriage!
