ATG: Formation Master c37

Jasmine looked at her hands. She wasn’t forced to be visible, but instead, a layer of profound energy from outside surrounded her.

This was an ingenious method of formation use.

“This Princess is impressed, I understand now, it makes sense to this Princess. You are Blue Wind Royal, and that thing above you is the infamous Dharma Body everyone is talking about.”

The crimson-haired girl realised that if this family were in the Realm of Gods, their ingenious use of Formations could make them a High-Class star realm!

Less deserving people who rank! But this family deserves it!

“Princess? From which Empire do you come?” The black haired girl frowned. Did someone infiltrate the Profound Palace?

It shouldn’t be that simple! Their security formations are constantly improving, and they were able to root out spies and infiltrators without any difficulty, so how was a princess of a foreign Empire able to infiltrate?

“Hmph! From beyond your comprehension!” 

“...”

“Is that so? So you come from beyond this world, and your cultivation is higher than Sovereign Profound. I am very curious.”

Jasmine lost her proud look as she looked at the girl before her. Who was able to pick up so quickly?

“I was expecting something grander, but turn out the transition beyond Sovereign Profound is not that hard; your Profound energy is compressed, and the density caused a quantitative leap in power.”

“...You think it’s that easy? Your star doesn’t have the means to do it.” Jasmine snorted.

“Is that so? Then you are in the wrong Empire, Star Princess.”

The Crimson haired girl sucked cold air when she heard that tittle! Did she guess!? How did she know where she came from!?

“Boundaries like that are meaningless to my big brother; if he wants, he will do, and he will do it. Beyond Sovereign Profound? He will achieve it, that’s because there are no boundaries he can’t surpass.

Before this, our talent for cultivation was pathetic, but now there is no greater talent than ours. We cultivate passively, and all of our Profound Entrances open by themselves.”

Jasmine frowned. If this is all true…

“This Princess wants to meet the Formation Prince. If you can arrange it, then I will share my knowledge.” The Crimson-Haired girl proposed.

“Hmm…”

“In that case, you will come with me.”

Jasmine looked at drooling Yun Che. She sighed, "This is for the best." He saved her, and she saved him several times now.

Sadly, she didn’t have time to teach him anything. The girl wanted to teach him a couple of techniques she had learned by watching her brother.

But… oh well!

“Fine, but I warn you, my soul is poisoned. If you can’t contain it, I will return to him.” The crimson-haired girl’s eyes gleamed. She wanted to see if these royals could contain poison that could poison the gods themselves!

“...”

Jasmine severed her connection to the pearl, and immediately, a strong oppressive energy surged from her.

The black-haired girl frowned as she created an orb of energy before adding glowing symbols to it.

After a few moments, she motioned for the orb to merge with her.

“It’s pointless, profound energy will be consumed alongside… my… soul.” Jasmine stumbled as she could feel the poison’s might lessen…

“That’s impressive poison. My formation forced the poison to self-consume; however, even then, the potency barely has fallen.”

“No, this princess is no longer dying.” The girl looked at her hand. The poison no longer consumed her directly; instead, it attacked itself. 

“I know. I wanted to remove it, but sadly, I could only divert it.” The Princess of Blue Wind Empire sighed in disappointment.

“You already did more than anyone in the Realm of Gods could do,” Jasmine commented as she continued to gaze at her hand.

“Is that true? Then you people are less exciting than I thought.” The black haired princess looked dissapointed.

“Hmph! We could still blow up your world effortlessly!” The Star Princess went to defend her pride, but it had no use as…

“Raw power is the easiest to achieve. We cultivate it passively; if we do it actively, we could achieve even greater speeds!

As she said that, the Blue Wind Princess recalled something.

“That reminds me, the purification formation could help you.”

She clapped her hands and slowly separated them. There was an orb between her palms.

The black haired Princess motioned for it to fuse with the princess from the Realm of Gods.

Jasmine looked at this curiously, sure enough, she sensed something, her soul is…healing!

“Amazing…”

“Hmph. I am an amateur compared to my big brother.” She replied with an arrogant snort. She doesn’t accept such basic praise!

“...oh? Then this Princess can’t wait to meet your brother.” Jasmine ‘smiled’. She had already decided to make him her personal Formation Master, who could help her crush THAT MAN and THAT BITCH!

The Blue Wind Princess puffed her impressive burst when she heard the Crimson Haired girl talk about her brother.

When someone talks about her brother in a good light, it automatically makes that person decent in Princess’ eyes.

“You won’t be dissapointed. Regardless, my name is Cang Yue, the only Princess of Blue Wind Empire.” 

“...hmm… This Princess' name is a secret, but you can call me Jasmine.”

“I assume related to your circumstances for getting poisoned?”

“Among other things, yes. If the ones who look for me learn about my name, they will kill everyone. That is why this name is better.” 

“If you say so.” Cang Yue snapped her fingers, and a formation shattered around them.

“Princess, what are your orders?” 

“Remove this one—”

“Wait. He is talented, he has godly veins in him.” Jasmine interrupted.

“Even if he is Heaven Chosen, he will never surpass my brother in raw genius. But, since you insist. He can stay, but he will be removed from the Formation Master course.” Cang Yue won’t accept cheaters in her higher-ranked profession! They represent her family’s pride.

“That's… not what I meant. He could be useful in the military either way.”

“Indeed, foot soldier it is then!” Cang Yue snapped her fingers. And the Thrones moved, they took the sleeping guy and decided to take him away.

“Prepare another test to be sure.” The Princess of Blue Wind flicked her hair. 

“As you wish, Princess.”

With that said, Cang Yue left with the crimson-haired girl. 

“You need new clothes, these bloody ones don’t look that good.”

“Hmph! It depends on whether you can provide something decent for this Princess!” The Star Princess huffed. She wouldn’t accept anything cheap!

“A Formation weaved clothes can be anything you want.” 

“...Tell me more.” Jasmine perked up, something new again! Her curiosity is piqued!

“Thought so. I can guess that your Realm of Gods is like the Profound Sky Continent before my brother’s ascension.

Everything is the same, but only more raw power.” Cang Yue already had the general idea after observing this girl’s behaviour.

Everything her brother made caused a reaction, but everything old and dusty raises this girl’s confidence, meaning she is very confident about old methods.

Reminding the Princess of old men who are confident in their old knowledge.

Though… that cold poker face needs more work…

“Hmph! The Realm of the Gods has millions of stars! Countless god legacies! And resources you could only dream of!” Jasmine exclaimed proudly, but there was no reaction from Cang Yue.

“That’s pathetic… in other words, you rely on the achievements of long-deceased gods, not having anything of your own.

How can you be so proud of that…” The Princess was confused, making Jasmine speechless.

“...Thats…well…”

“Anyway, let’s go. My big brother should be heading back to Blue Wind after winning that war.” Cang Yue motioned for the spirit girl to follow.

“Fine.”

~~~~~~A Few Hours Later~~~~~~

“Hmmm?” Yun Che snapped out as he woke up.

“What!?” He swiftly scrambled to his feet and looked around. He was in the lecture hall!?

“Good, you are awake.”

Doors opened, and one of the lecturers walked in.

Yun Che could tell that this elder was strong, very strong, most likely a high-ranking member!

“I am Discipline Hall Elder Shen. You have been caught cheating, Student Yun Che.” 

He swiftly hid his reaction as he tried to communicate with Jasmine.

“You won’t be able to talk to your ghost friend.” 

Yun Che flared as he looked angry.

“What did you do to Jasmine!?” 

Instead of replying, his cultivation flared and caused the teen to drop to his knees.

“You cheated in exams, disrespected our Profound Palace and the role of Formation Master! And you dare to ask me!?” The elder ranted, only making Yun Che angrier.

“Your ghost girl has been taken away and sealed.” The elder dropped a bombshell, making the guy look at him in disbelief.

“Impossible! She has extremely high cultivation!”

Snort

“Believe whatever you want to believe. But for the sake of fairness, you are given a second chance to finish the second exam.

If you fail, you will be relegated to a soldier's course of five years.” 

“I don’t care! I want to know where Jasmine is!” 

“I see. In that case, you will be dismissed for insubordination.” The elder replied in a nonsensical tone.

“Do you think I care!?” 

Yun Che only became more unreasonable. In his eyes, he will find a way to get stronger and get Jasmine back without these strange methods!

After all, they made a promise.

“I see.” 

The elder made a motion, and blue chains rushed at Yun Che from all directions.

Chaining the guy on the spot, the teenager tried to move, but his limbs were not responding!

“You shall be dismissed in shame, Junior Yun Che, for disrespecting the Blue Wind Imperial Family like this.” The elder walked over, hands behind his backs.

“We are fair, but you are not, cheating in the examination, utilising underhanded methods to get an advantage.”

“HAH! As if you don’t do such things!”

The elder frowned as he looked disgusted.

“To assume that we do such things. Our Blue Wind is standing on the top because of our unrelenting desire to surpass others, but what you do is pathetic; where one needs to show honesty, you should do it.

Only in a battle should you try to find means to trick your opponent, but not here, where we improve our craft.” After giving his speech, the elder showed his hand, which was glowing blue.

He brought it over to Yun Che’s face.

“What are you doing!?” The teenager was worried as he could sense something!

“I shall mark you. This mark will tell everyone that you are a disgrace and spit in the face of our Blue Wind Empire.” The elder placed his hand on the teen's face, and the next moment, scalding heat erupted from that area.

The teen screamed in pain as he tried to struggle, but then chains kept him in place.

After a while, the elder pulled his hand away, and just under Yun Che’s right eye were three letters… Disgrace Blue Wind.

This could have been avoided if Yun Che had simply followed the rules and repeated the test or even skipped it entirely. But instead, he insisted on getting back the Spirit girl, which the princess had taken for herself.

“I will kill you for this!”

Snort

“The only thing you will kill is your chances to cultivate, boy. Now the entire world will know that you burned your bridges with his Continent’s true power.” 

The elder snapped his fingers, and two Formation Masters walked into the room.

“Take him away and remove those clothes; only the elites of Blue Wind wear these.”

The two Formation Masters nodded as they suppressed the boy’s cultivation and took him away.

Once gone, the Discipline Hall Elder shook his head. He couldn’t believe there were still people like these around. Even if he hated him for his actions, at least for now, he could have bowed his head and accepted the punishment, but this guy.

“One day he will kill himself with such an attitude.” That said, the elder left to report this development to the Princess.
