"It seems their views about me must have changed somewhat!"

After seeing the shock on their faces, Hu Xiaobei's lips slightly curled into a faint smile.

When the corner of Hu Xiaobei's mouth slightly upticked, Bai Xuening and Xie Ling'er standing by his side also smiled sweetly.

They had been a bit worried just a moment ago, but now, they knew they had no need to worry!

Because whenever Hu Xiaobei chose not to display his skill, it would be extraordinary when he finally did.

10 minutes later, Hu Xiaobei stopped forming the hand gestures...

After he finished, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the two Array Grandmasters and said, "I have finished setting up the formation, please, elders, kindly offer your corrections!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, their eyelids twitched!

They quickly waved their hands.

"This... correcting you would be too presumptuous, let's... let's have an exchange, an exchange!"

Saying so, they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads!

Laymen watch the excitement, experts examine the intricacies!

After watching Hu Xiaobei's method of forming the arrays, they knew that his power was much more terrifying than they had imagined.

In such a circumstance, the two of them naturally did not dare to act arrogantly, for to do so would be complete nonsense!

"Well... well then, let's have an exchange!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they nodded vigorously.

Soon, their gaze fell upon the Eight Trigrams Array that appeared ordinary...

From a young age, they had started learning about arrays.

Initially, they learned some simple formations, such as the Eight Trigrams Array.

After mastering the Eight Trigrams Array, they felt this Array was too simple and virtually unusable!

To avoid such an embarrassment, they improved upon the Eight Trigrams Array, thus creating the Anti-Bagua Formation!

The emergence of the Anti-Bagua Formation caused a sensation!

Before, they believed this Anti-Bagua Formation was the limit of what could be improved from the Eight Trigrams Array.

But now, they realized they had been thinking too much...

Because what Hu Xiaobei improved upon was truly the limit...

It appeared that Hu Xiaobei had merely overlaid several ordinary Eight Trigrams Arrays!

However, the resulting effect was extremely terrifying; at the very least, they felt a strong sense of danger when facing this formation.

They knew it was fortunate that they were not Hu Xiaobei's adversaries; otherwise, this seemingly ordinary Eight Trigrams Array would have definitely been more than enough for them to handle!

After feeling fortunate, Xie Wenqiang sighed and said in a somber tone to Xie Wenlei, "Brother, I've heard others mention a type of array called 'Compound Formation' before. At that time, I thought it was not quite real, but now, it seems to be very much a reality!"

Hearing such an astonishing statement, Xie Wenlei nodded.

"Yes, I also thought a Compound Formation only existed in books. It seems not to be the case, the world truly has higher heights!"

After saying this, the two looked towards Hu Xiaobei...

At this moment, they unconsciously exuded a kind of reverence!

Great talent serves as a teacher!

Hu Xiaobei had obviously reached a realm they had never touched before, and so, their respect for Hu Xiaobei reached an extreme.

Seeing the change in their gaze, Bai Xuening and Xie Ling'er's eyes flashed with pride.

They quickly turned their heads to look at Hu Xiaobei and found him as calm as ever...

Clearly, Hu Xiaobei had anticipated this outcome.

"Grandmaster Xiaobei, could... could you tell us how this formation is arranged?"

"Yes, please!"

As they made these requests, their faces were full of expectation!

At this time, their reference to Hu Xiaobei had completely changed...

The reason for this was that Hu Xiaobei had truly conquered them completely!

Feeling their respect, Bai Xuening and Xie Ling'er were astonished.

Before, they had known that Hu Xiaobei would surely surprise them.

But they had not expected that Hu Xiaobei would not only surprise them, but utterly and completely impress them!

"It looks like we underestimated him before!"

They excitedly muttered to themselves!

At this moment, their gazes toward Hu Xiaobei unconsciously held something more.

...

Sensing their nervousness, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

"We are all Array Grandmasters, so let's just exchange information! Regarding the secrets of this Array, I will discuss it with you in detail when I have time. For now, I want to know something about this trapped array."

While speaking, Hu Xiaobei stretched out his hand and pointed to the Array that completely enveloped the ruins behind them!

Both of them turned their heads and immediately understood Hu Xiaobei's intention.

Thereafter, they inwardly cursed themselves for being muddleheaded!

After such a murmur, they apologized somewhat, "Before, we were somewhat excited by the moment. Now, the most important thing is not to spar, but to properly repair this trapped array!"

Having said this, they began to introduce it to Hu Xiaobei in great detail.

Through their descriptions, Hu Xiaobei learned that the name of this Array was the Four-directions Trapping Array.

The so-called "four directions" referred to the four mythical beasts.

They were the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

These four mythical beasts respectively guarded the surroundings of the Four-directions Trapping Array...

Their presence formed a deterrent to everything within the Array.

Because the years had passed, the deterrent force of the four great mythical beasts had gradually diminished...

If this deterrence continued to decline, the entire Array would cease to exist.

By then, very terrifying consequences would arise.

That's why they were thinking of promptly repairing it thoroughly!

After listening to the absolutely detailed account, Hu Xiaobei nodded, "Have you two investigated inside before? What exactly is inside these ruins?"

"That... We did indeed go in before! But we didn't dare go too deep, so we didn't discover what's inside. However, it's clear that there must be something."

"Is that so? I wonder if I might be able to go in and take a look."

Hu Xiaobei was still very interested in the area shrouded by the Array, so at this time, he was preparing to go in and see.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they hesitated slightly.

They knew it would be best not to agree to Hu Xiaobei's request, for it was truly dangerous inside...

Simply put, if Hu Xiaobei really encountered any danger inside, then everything would be completely too late.

Feeling their hesitation, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Don't worry! I won't joke with my life, so if I really encounter danger, I will be able to run out."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei say this, they had no choice but to refrain from refusing any longer. Looking into each other's eyes, they spoke solemnly, "Grandmaster Xiaobei, this... it's really incredibly dangerous inside, so if you're not completely sure, don't go too deep!"

Hearing their advice, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Okay, I understand. If I really feel danger inside, I will immediately return!"

Having heard Hu Xiaobei agree so readily, they nodded!

Soon, they took Hu Xiaobei toward the Array in front, then they directly approached a weak point on the Array...

The so-called weak point was a place where the trapped array was heavily corroded, entering here would pose the least resistance.

...

"Xiaobei! Maybe you shouldn't go in after all!"

"Yeah, it's really dangerous inside!"

Although they knew such persuasion might be futile, Bai Xuening and Xie Ling'er couldn't help but voice their concerns.

They clearly knew the danger inside, so they truly didn't want Hu Xiaobei to go in...

Feeling their anxiety, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "Don't worry, if I really encounter danger, I will come out in time!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei say this, they exchanged a glance...

Soon, they shyly said, "You must come out safely. Before, we both promised you could make a condition, you must remember to come out and make your condition! As long as you come out safely, whatever condition you ask, we will agree to it!"
