Chapter 99

Even the most patient person has their limits. Suddenly, Mingren understood the crux of the problem. Whether facing Li Tianyi or dealing with Ning Zhiyuan back then, due to the opponent's strength, he had to switch from controlling the formation to attacking. Once the opponent was strong enough, they would disrupt the formation's rhythm, gradually losing control, and in the end, the power of the five people could not be fully utilized.

Wang Meng meant that dealing with the weak didn't require such effort, and dealing with the strong, this formation was essentially useless. If it was for group battles or something similar, this formation was quite good, and it was already very effective. There was no need to spend more energy on it.

Mingren, being a wise person, instantly understood everything. To be honest, the problem of the formation being broken had troubled them for a long time, and it had indeed consumed a lot of their energy.

"Wang Meng, you're too arrogant. If you have the skills, try our Five Absolute Formation and see if you can last three moves!"

"Exactly, who doesn't know how to talk big!"

The Four Tigers of Lingyin couldn't hold back. It was already suffocating to cover for a junior, and now they were being mocked, implying that this kind of thing made no difference whether practiced or not.

Wang Meng smiled and didn't bother to argue.

Mingren raised his hand to stop his juniors from continuing.

"Junior Brother Wang, I won't thank you for your great kindness. Don't take their words to heart," Mingren said.

"Senior Brother!" The Four Tigers of Lingyin couldn't take it anymore. Was it the kind-heartedness of the senior brother acting up again?

"I was just speaking casually. Don't take it seriously."

"You're right. Even though I can't fully accept it now, we indeed shouldn't spend too much energy on this sword formation. Tianyi, I ask you, if you had to choose, would you learn this sword formation?"

"No, why?" Li Tianyi instinctively replied.

"Why not? What was your first reaction?"

"Superfluous and tedious, ah..." Li Tianyi suddenly felt that his words were a bit inappropriate.

Mingren smiled bitterly. "That's exactly the point. The greatest significance of this formation is to fight many with few, but now we want to make it an invincible formation, which is fundamentally wrong."

"But this formation is indeed very powerful. Even Ning Zhiyuan had a hard time breaking it," An Dao said doubtfully. He was the youngest of the Four Tigers and still had a sense of admiration.

Wang Meng's point was that they should just stop practicing it. But then he thought, not everyone's goal is to ascend; some just want to become stronger, or even to have a place in the Holy Hall.

"Even a flawless formation can be broken. Breaking a formation can be done with overwhelming attacks or by disrupting the rhythm, for example, constantly pressuring Senior Brother Ming, leaving him no time to control the formation. Over time, he would be overwhelmed and fall into chaos without a fight."

Wang Meng's words hit the nail on the head.

Li Tianyi marveled, "If I didn't know that you hadn't entered the Holy Hall during the battle with Ning Zhiyuan, I would have suspected you saw it firsthand. I thought the same thing, but I wouldn't choose to disrupt the rhythm. I would break the strongest defense with the strongest attack!"

The Nine Heavens Departing Fire Sword was invincible and could conquer all attacks!

At this point, the other four understood. Wasting too much energy on the formation would delay everyone's cultivation.

The four felt a bit embarrassed.

"Junior Brother Wang, in the future, let's speak directly without holding back. We have thick skin, ha ha," Mingren's words immediately eased the awkward atmosphere.

Wang Meng had always had a good impression of Mingren.

"I have one more question. Do you think practicing both talismans and swords is too much and will dilute your focus?"

Mingren asked. This was actually a big issue. Other halls were mostly focused on one type, at most practicing another type as a supplement, like alchemy relying on talisman cultivation, or forging relying on physical cultivation, which didn't hinder and could even have a boosting effect.

But the Lingyin Hall insisted on practicing both talismans and swords, which was indeed exhausting.

Wang Meng smiled. "Cultivation is simple; it's all about improving strength. As long as it's suitable, any method can be used."

Mingren and Li Tianyi smiled at each other. "I think the same. That's why I only practice sword cultivation. Only by reaching the pinnacle of the sword can one be invincible in the world!"

Li Tianyi said, with a casual personality but a deep dedication to the sword, never slacking off. Or perhaps because of his focus on the sword, he didn't care much about other aspects.

"Practicing both talismans and swords is difficult at first, but once you get into it, having another method in battle is very comfortable."

Mingren said.

Wang Meng understood this very well. The more combat techniques, the better, based on personal preference, and they didn't conflict. Unfortunately, the level of yuan energy in the small world couldn't handle both, so in different places, what was right could become wrong, and what was wrong could become right.

Just as they were talking animatedly, several disciples of the Lingyin Hall rushed in urgently.

Mingren frowned slightly. "Didn't I say not to disturb us?"

"Senior Brother, it's serious. If Brother Wang doesn't go out now, the Hundred Treasures Hall will explode!"

One disciple said, looking at Wang Meng as if he were a monster from ancient times.

Wang Meng just smiled. "Is there something you need from me?"

"It's not that. Grandmaster Lei, Grandmaster Zhou, Grandmaster Wu, and Grandmaster Zhao are waiting for you in the Thunderlight Hall. The disciples of the Thunderlight Hall are looking for you everywhere. Senior Brother, we can't hold on any longer."

The disciples said with pained expressions, not knowing what the senior brother was discussing, but they couldn't hold back anymore.

Everyone was surprised. "Wang Meng, did you get into some trouble? I'll go with you."

Li Tianyi said, which was quite rare for him to defend an opponent so much. He just had that kind of personality; he would stand up for anyone he recognized, whether friend or foe.

"It's nothing, nothing. If you have time, come to the Thunderlight Hall as a guest. We have prepared carefully for this Hundred Treasures Hall meeting."

Wang Meng said, not forgetting to advertise.

Mingren and the others smiled in understanding. What was there to see in the Thunderlight Hall?

"Brother Wang, even if we want to see now, there's no place. Almost everyone from the Hundred Treasures Hall is at the Thunderlight Hall."

...

Mingren and the others seemed more anxious than he was, but Wang Meng wasn't too worried. This was the Holy Hall's territory, and nothing major would happen. If something major did happen, there would be someone to handle it.

When they returned to the Thunderlight Hall, they were still shocked by the crowd.

"Brother Wang, you're back. God, hurry up and go in." Chen Haiguang was the first to spot Wang Meng, and his address immediately changed.

"Senior Brother Chen, what's going on? Did we find a treasure here?"

Wang Meng was completely confused, seeing everyone so anxious. Did the Thunderlight Hall really find a treasure?

Chen Haiguang was at a loss. Clearly, Wang Meng really didn't know his good fortune. How could people be so different?
