After hearing Dashi Fang-Kong's question, Zheng-Fu could not help but smile. He had learned a lot about this tactical formation during the time when he had slipped into parallel-dimensional space. And perhaps Zheng-Fu knew all the skills that existed here.

"Hmm! Because I've practiced it before!"

Huh!?

"You've practiced before!? Kid, as for the Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation, besides our sect's prime disciples, no one else can practice it. And you are an outsider, so how will you ever practice it? Or are you thinking of insulting our tactical formation?" Dashi Fang-Kong tried to suppress himself from showing displeasure at Zheng-Fu's words.

"If Dashi doesn't believe me, you can try it. But I can't guarantee that your disciples won't get hurt because unexpected things can always happen in maneuvers!" Zheng-Fu did not care what this monk had to say because he did not come here to cause any trouble.

Hah!

"I'd like to say that as well. It's you who should be careful. If my disciples might not restrain themselves and attack you cruelly, I can't help you with anything!" Dashi Fang-Kong remained confident in his disciples and was convinced that Zheng-Fu was just ranting.

Then you guys should take action. I honor the host first!" Seeing that the other party was very confident, Zheng-Fu did not want to say much. He raised his hand to summon the eighteen monks who had set up a tactical formation in front of him.

"Juniors and Seniors, today we're going to teach this misguided young man how to appreciate the light path and teach him a lesson for daring to insult us, Dharma Light Heaven Sect!" one of the eighteen monks spoke up, stirring up the other monks in tactical formation.

"Of course, Senior, we trained hard just for this. And today everyone will know the insidiousness of this Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation!"

"That's right, to guide light to the misguided!"

"To guide light to the misguided!!!"

The eighteen monks shouted firmly and seriously in unison. They had not actually tried this tactical formation once before. What they knew was that it was their sect's most well-known tactical formation. All major sects accepted that this tactical formation was outstanding both offensively and defensively.

So, they thought of proving themselves and showing all the disciples that they were the strongest disciples and how strong the Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation was.

"Well! Come in, Monks, I'm happy to give you advice!" Zheng-Fu still did not show any fear or concern. Moreover, he continued to speak, getting on eighteen monks' nerves.

"Huh! And don't cry later!"

[Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation: First Stage; Arahant Inspects]

As soon as the monk at the very front spoke up, the other seventeen began to move in different directions, surrounding Zheng-Fu. They closed all of Zheng-Fu's exits. It was as if a group of guards were inspecting the passersby. However, it was different as the eighteen monks frantically slammed their hands and feet at Zheng-Fu.

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

"If this Monk had moved your legs lower, I believe your might would have been more severe! That Monk should move a little closer, so you'll have a chance to punch me. As for this Monk, you should have bowed low, because if the enemy pushes away your leg, then it will be like this...!"

Bam!!!

Ouch!!!

Whether their fists, elbows, knees, or feet, none of the monks ever touched Zheng-Fu. Moreover, they even hit on the others in their team because Zheng-Fu was able to block it while changing the direction of one monk's foot to hit another monk next to each other. That caused the tactical formation in the first stage to collapse.

Huh!?

This incident caused Dashi Fang-Kong's proud face to instantly darken. He did not think that just the first stage had failed so perfectly. From what he saw recently, Zheng-Fu did not exert much effort to break this tactical formation. Moreover, he was still giving advice as well.

"Looks like that young man is telling the truth. He knows all the flaws of the first stage of Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation!" Dashi Tu-An said admiringly. He did not understand how Zheng-Fu knew these flaws. Or did Zheng-Fu really learn this tactical formation before?

"He only knows about the first stage. There is no way to know the next stage!" Dashi Fang-Kong still refused to admit what had happened. He was still trying to find excuses for his disciples. Since he was the one who taught this tactical formation to these eighteen monks, how would he accept this?

"Set the second stage of tactical formation!" Dashi Fang-Kong shouted out loudly.

"Yes, Master!!!"

The eighteen monks shouted in response, hurriedly getting up and resetting their tactical formation. They immediately performed the second stage of the Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation.

[Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation: Second Stage; Arahant Admonishes]

When the young monk at the forefront shouted loudly, the other seventeen monks immediately formed a tactical formation according to the patterns they had learned and trained in. This second stage was a much stronger and more intense attack than the first stage. In addition, the coordination of attacks was more continuous.

"Oh! It's a great gathering, but it still has flaws!" Zheng-Fu praised again after he saw the eighteen monks gathered. However, he could not help but shake his head because the flaws he saw were even more than in the first stage.

"You're talking too much. You're just an outsider, what do you know!" said the young monk, the head of the Eighteen Arahants Special Operations Group, angrily.

"You'll soon know if I'm an outsider or not. Please, take action," Zheng-Fu was tired of speaking to such ignorant people, so he thought of using actions instead of words.

The four elders had returned to their senses. They carefully watched Zheng-Fu resist this legendary tactical formation. Seeing that Zheng-Fu could break its first stage so easily, they could not help but show their utmost joy and excitement.

"I never thought that the legendary tactical formation of this continent's most powerful Dharma Light Heaven Sect could be destroyed so easily by our denomination founder!" said one of the elders, with a proud expression on his face.

"Probably, this tactical formation might not be as powerful as it was rumored to be!" another elder added, curious to see if this tactical formation was truly legendary.

"But for me, I think this tactical formation must be very powerful. If those monks do as our founder says, its power should be many times more intense than this. But if it turns out to be us who entered there instead of the founder, we probably wouldn't be talking here!" said the first elder, who seemed to be the proudest, explaining the different perspectives to other elders, including Hai-Dong, who did not know about this matter at all.

"No matter how formidable this formation may be, it likely won't be too much in front of my little brother!" Although Hai-Dong couldn't fully analyze the situation, he was able to grasp some small details, as he was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Divine Emperor stage.

Back to Zheng-Fu...

"Sigh... I've told you to bow down and make your fists faster. And that Monk had to switch to the side instead because you're left-handed. I'm telling you the better way, and you still don't follow my suggestion!"

At this moment, the eighteen monks were attacking Zheng-Fu nonstop. But no one was able to touch his body. Instead, they were even suggested by Zheng-Fu.

"What the hell is this!? Why didn't he get even a single punch?" said one of the monks who participated in the tactical formation, exasperated and deeply saddened.

"If it continues like this, we're going to disgrace our Dharma Light Heaven Sect!"

"No! It shouldn't have happened like that. As long as we hit him with just one punch, everything will be fine!"

"Or are we going to try to do as he said?"

Hah!!?

This sentence completely halted the other monks in tactical formation. No one thought of this option at all. Who would follow the advice of someone other than their masters? And if they followed Zheng-Fu's instruction and the power of tactical formation was better, would it not be a slap in the face of their master who taught them this tactical formation, making them into ungrateful disciples?

"No! Do you want to make Master lose face, Junior? If we do as this kid tells us, it means that we are ungrateful disciples!" the young monk said with a serious look on his face, and he did not accept this choice.

"It's as Senior said. If we follow him, we're obviously ungrateful disciples!"

Hearing this conversation, Zheng-Fu could only shake his head helplessly, as there was no way to stop anyone from doing such things. In reality, it wasn't wrong at all to improve and correct what we had been taught, especially if our teacher had taught us something incorrectly, so that it became better than it was before.

"Dashi Fang-Kong, I think by this point you should already know if I'm telling the truth. Judging from your disciples, this tactical formation is not good enough and is full of flaws. In the future, if someone learns and studies it well, they will definitely be able to solve and destroy this Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation!"

Zheng-Fu knew that talking to disciples was useless, so he turned to talk to the master, who was the instructor instead, in case Dashi Fang-Kong might agree and order the cancellation of this formation. But everything did not turn out the way Zheng-Fu wanted. His words made Dashi Fang-Kong's face flush with anger and shame.

"Hurry up and change to the fifth stage!" Dashi Fang-Kong yelled at his disciples, telling the eighteen monks to change their tactical formation from the second stage to the fifth stage.

"Yes, Master!!!"

[Eighteen Arahants Tactical Formation: Fifth Stage; Arahant Staff Tactic]

When all eighteen monks changed the tactical formation to the fifth stage, they immediately summoned the silver staffs from their dimensional rings. The silver staffs they were holding were high-level weapons, comparable to the low-level Mystical weapon. And when there were eighteen that were used together in the attack, even an advanced Divine-Emperor-stage skilled martial master could get hurt all over his body if he was careless.

"Sigh... How stubborn these monks are!"
