The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 728 - 719: Chen Ying vs. White Tiger Sorcerer!

Jiangnan Academy’s Chen Ying and Yundu’s Zhou Family’s sole White Tiger Sorcerer, which one will be eliminated when they clash?

Since the list came out two days ago, the underground betting parlors have already opened several books, with members of Yundu’s high-level Sorcerer Families participating, and the stakes exaggerated to nineteen to one. Even with such high odds, very few chose to place their bets on Chen Ying.

If it weren’t for the fact that this piece of news was known by the people of Jiangnan and the Central Plains’ Sorcerer Families, the betting might have come to the embarrassing point where it couldn’t continue.

The reason is simple, the high-level people of the Yundu Sorcerers are very clear on Zhou Yuntao’s level!

In Yundu, there is no such thing as a thousand-year or ten-thousand-year Sorcerer Family, there are only two types: the legendary families and the ordinary ones.

There are six legendary families in Yundu, led by the Zhang Family, that family which has occupied the Heavenly Master Mansion for ten thousand years.

Then come the Five-Colored Families, whose members rarely mingle with those of the ordinary families, but it’s clear to everyone that the power of people from the Five-Colored Families is simply not on the same level as those from ordinary families...

And Zhou Yuntao of the Zhou Family is the only young man who has ever defeated a member of the Five-Colored Families in their ten-thousand-year history, a first!

Therefore, Zhou Yuntao holds a very high status within the Zhou Family. Even though he’s just a young member, everyone knows that in today’s Zhou Family, even the supreme elder Zhou Huafeng is no match for this junior!

Many families are aware of Chen Ying’s information, know her status in Jiangnan, and have seen her dazzling performance at White Tiger Gate... But even so, hardly anyone from the Yundu Families favors this outsider...

At this moment, in the last space, the two characters who have always been the focus of attention still have not engaged directly, and everyone who placed their bets is staring intently at that last image.

With the support of the Jiangnan and Central Plains’ Sorcerer Families, the betting odds were revitalized, piquing the interest of many eager bettors, even though they had already decided on the outcome in their hearts.

But what they didn’t expect was that this woman named Chen Ying had such a profound mastery of formation techniques, managing to trap Zhou Yuntao for half an hour!

Zhou Yuntao had already circled countless times within that unique Spatial Array. Being of the White Tiger, affiliated with wind, gave him incredible speed, but even the fastest speed is of little use in a well-constructed Spatial Array.

Zhou Yuntao, who had been trapped for half an hour, remained calm, with no sign of urgency, and murmured in a low voice, "The Jiangnan Array Technique is indeed extraordinary if a simple spatial stacking formation can be employed so ingenously with the profound mathematical laws that I can’t find the slightest flaw for the time being."

The Array Chen Ying used, recognized by him, is named the Mirror Array, one of the ancient inherited formations. It doesn’t belong exclusively to any inheritance, and the heritage of Yundu is actually beyond the imagination of outsiders, especially regarding formation techniques. While the rest of the world believes that the techniques of the Array are authentically Jiangnan’s, the true upper echelons of Yundu secretly scoff at those so-called thousand-year families as frogs in a well.

But now it seems that perhaps it is their own people who are too arrogant and self-important.

The Array techniques obtained by Jiangnan from the Dragon Palace were already long in possession of Yundu, at least the Heavenly Master Mansion had them, but they had never seen such a miraculous application of them.

The Mirror Array is not a very sophisticated formation among ancient formations, but in the opponent’s hands, it achieved the effects of a top-level Array.

The Mirror Array consumes very little, and to achieve the effects of a high-level Array with a lower-level formation, in his view, is indicative of a top-level Array Master’s performance.

"Just discussing Array expertise, you’re not far off from Murong Ziyi," Zhou Yuntao said in a tone that was open and filled with clear admiration.

"That is indeed an honor," Chen Ying’s voice came from all directions, filled with extreme coolness, yet it was also genuinely sincere.

Murong Ziyi was the second-ranked candidate for the title of Heavenly Master, only behind Zhang Zhiyun. Being appraised in such a manner meant that there was no intention to belittle him. His teacher, Mu Hongqing, had taught her to look at things often from the perspective and stance of others, which would save her from a lot of hostility and disputes.

To the people of Jiangnan, such a comment might come across as arrogant, but from the other party’s point of view, this appraisal was already very high. Since the praise stemmed from genuine respect, why should she bother about the cognitive differences between the two sides?

"However, I am not here today to witness the extent of your array mastery," he said regretfully, "I am sorry, but I’m here to gauge the weight of an Azure Dragon Sorcerer like you!"

As soon as those words fell, Zhou Yuntao’s figure suddenly accelerated, moving unbelievably fast, creating distortions of light and shadow, and leaving behind dense afterimages that made ordinary people think this was some incredible cloning technique.

Indeed, these magicians are magical, one person becoming thousands, isn’t that like being an entire army? No wonder our Yundu doesn’t need generals...

Members of the Sorcerer Family were secretly startled as well, for it was their first time witnessing Zhou Yuntao go all out. The records stated that the White Tiger represents wind, and White Tiger Sorcerers are the fastest magicians in the world, but many had seen the White Tiger Sorcerer from the previous generation of the Zhou family and had experienced that speed. To be honest, in comparison, it was like heaven and earth!

Speed that could cause distortion in light and shadow was outrageous, and every knowledgeable sorcerer understood that Zhou Yuntao’s power had already surpassed that of the previous generation’s White Tiger Sorcerer—and by a lot!

No wonder he could defeat the youngsters of the Five-Colored Families, with such strength... It’s feared that he might be comparable to the original White Tiger Sorcerer recorded in the annals of the Sorcerer Dynasty!

Chen Ying was also amazed at his speed, which was even faster than Murong Yunji!

Moreover, it seemed that he had locked onto her position.

This thought barely had time to form in her mind when Zhou Yuntao’s figure had already pounced in front of her, so fast that it was unbelievable. The key question was, how did he find her?

The Mirror Array operated through advanced mathematical computations, layering to create an almost infinite effect. For those who had never encountered such an array, even an Extraordinary Sorcerer as formidable as Murong Yunji couldn’t find a flaw in a short time. How had Zhou Yuntao locked onto her position?

"Is it the wind?" Chen Ying quickly came to a realization. Sound is carried by the wind; she had responded to him, and though she used the Mirror Space to create an echo effect, he had still acutely captured it.

It seemed the rumors were true, White Tiger Sorcery was like a godly wind technique, anything carried by the wind could be utilized by the sorcerer, a truly terrifying technique!

"Dean Chen’s reaction isn’t slow..." Zhou Yuntao smiled faintly, but just as he was closing in, he found that no matter how close he seemed to be, he couldn’t shorten the last bit of distance. That span of space, seemingly within reach, appeared infinitely far!

"Incredible..." Zhou Yuntao chuckled, "Is this the array that Lumings couldn’t do anything about? Should be derived from the Mirror Folding Array, right? You Jiangnan folks really have taken the use of mathematics to the extreme."

"Extreme is not the right word..." Chen Ying looked at him seriously, "Mathematics has no extreme; the realms we are exploring are merely the surface. How could a sorcerer casually speak of extremes? Knowledge... has no end!"

These words made Zhou Yuntao pause for a moment, but he soon nodded in agreement, performing a salute and saying, "I’ve learned something..."

The next second, a terrifying screech accompanied by a burst of azure energy charged at her, the dreadful sonic boom causing Chen Ying’s brows to furrow. She was about to take action when she suddenly realized, if his voice could reach her ears, that meant... he could also find her!

Her Folding Array was a visual deception, seemingly a hair’s breadth away but in reality many thousands of feet apart. That’s why, last time, Lumings, no matter how fast, couldn’t get close to her because he didn’t know her position; he only knew she was right in front of him, so he rushed headlong forward. But within the Folding Array, if one charged in a straight line, she could use calculations to make the other party run in circles indefinitely, never getting closer to her!

But this guy was different, he had used the wind to find her!!
