Chapter 499: Fan Jian Gang's Victory, The Audience is Unsatisfied: RNM, Refund! (Part 1)

"Do you know what an Array Master is? Haha!"

"You might as well say you're a hidden Thirteenth Stage cultivator, pfft!"

An Array Master?

What a joke, anyone who dares to call themselves an Array Master in the Three Thousand Continents must be a renowned figure.

What a laughable joke!

If he were truly an Array Master, why would he need to participate in this Talented Youth Gathering?

Therefore, he didn't believe it and thought Fan Jian Gang was boasting.

The spectators in the stands laughed as well.

"An Array Master... Haha, if he really is an Array Master, he would probably be a guest of honor within the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, right?"

"Of course. The Great Qin Immortal Dynasty doesn't have an Array Grandmaster, and the strongest in the art of arrays is said to be an old ancestor named Fu Su, but he's merely an Array Master."

"He's really bold to boast like that."

"At such a young age, with Tenth Stage cultivation, an Array Master... pfft."

"What if he claims to be a hidden expert?"

"..."

No one believed him.

They all scoffed, and some even openly ridiculed him.

Fan Jian Gang heard their words, and he sighed softly, "I finally speak the truth, but why won't you believe me?"

"Stop boasting!"

The Twelfth Stage Talented Youth across from him suddenly waved his hand and sneered, "You're just a lucky punk who got this far. Do you think you can scare me off with your boasting?"

"Trying to steal a win, and you think you're qualified?"

"If you want to defeat me, show me your strength."

"You claim to be an Array Master? Fine, if you really are, then show me."

"If you truly have this ability, I'll concede on the spot. But do you?"

"Where's the proof?"

"Show it to me!"

Fan Jian Gang: "..."

"Not talking now?"

"Failed to steal a win, and now it's embarrassing, right?"

"Then get lost!"

"You, a swindler, also dare to call yourself a Talented Youth? Fighting you would only dirty my hands. Get off the stage and concede!"

He glared at Fan Jian Gang and suddenly pointed to the side, "Get lost!"

Fan Jian Gang: "..."

He sighed softly, "I won't."

"???"

"You're asking for death!"

The opponent became furious and was about to strike him down.

However, Fan Jian Gang shook his head helplessly, then raised a finger.

"Show-off!"

The opponent became even angrier.

Damn it!

At this moment, what kind of pose are you striking? Do you think you can scare me? Or do you think you're so handsome? It's ridiculous!

However...

Just as he was about to hit Fan Jian Gang, he suddenly froze in place, and then...

The entire world flipped upside down in an instant! Black turned white, and white turned black.

Water and fire alternated.

Yin and Yang reversed...

Everything was 'inverted'!

Even he, as a person, gradually disintegrated and 'inverted'.

It wasn't a simple upside-down.

Instead, it was an inversion from the essence, from every detail...

As if becoming 'antonyms'.

"What?!"

He was terrified.

His thoughts became chaotic at this moment, and he struggled to remain lucid.

But in this instant, he suddenly thought of an incredibly frightening possibility.

"This...

"What's this?!"

His eyes widened, and he was suddenly filled with fear.

Boom!!!

He was 'decomposed'.

He turned into countless 'fine sand'.

Completely annihilated!

From the perspective of others...

This Twelfth Stage Talented Youth, in the moment he charged towards Fan Jian Gang, suddenly froze in mid-air, and then began to disintegrate on his own, disintegrating until he completely turned into fine sand...

In the end, not even a single strand of hair or a speck of dust remained.

Even his divine soul was thoroughly annihilated.

It was as if the world had never had any trace of his existence.

Everyone was stunned.

They stood there, mouths agape, unable to speak.

At this moment, they were even more dumbfounded.

Because, as they stared in disbelief, Fan Jian Gang showed no signs of surprise and remained completely unaffected. He effortlessly began...

Transmigration?!

The spectators watched with wide eyes, initially finding it hard to believe.

What kind of trickery is this? Is this a cat crying over a dead mouse? But soon, they realized their guess was wrong.

Fan Jian Gang, this guy, was actually genuinely transmigrating, not playing tricks or acting, but performing the transmigration with utmost 'sincerity'.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water...

Even an enlightened monk would not be able to find any fault in it! After completing the entire process, he slowly walked off the stage.

At this moment, the stands remained silent.

...

"Second Senior Brother, what..."

Wang Teng's mouth twitched, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably, "You're too fierce!"

He Anxia was also shocked beyond words, "Your strength... even if Master wanted to deal with a Twelfth Stage cultivator, it might not be this easy."

"Nonsense!"

Fan Jian Gang shook his head, "This is all luck and coincidence."

"It's just that he talked too much, giving me time to set up the array, so my strike was effective."

"Otherwise..."

"Where would I have the chance to win?"

"You even compared me to Master... How can we compare? Comparing me to Master is too scary."

But the two didn't believe him; they thought Fan Jian Gang was incredible.

However, Fan Jian Gang refused to admit how amazing he was.

What's so amazing?

It's all luck and coincidence.

It's the power of the array.

This array formation is just a formation plate I found in the XX Secret Realm outside. It wasn't even arranged by me, and you thought I could instantly defeat a Twelfth Stage Talented Youth?

"Pfft, I said it's just luck."

"I pretended to be an Array Master to scare off the later opponents."

"If others think I have such abilities, wouldn't they be scared off?"

"If he scared everyone away, then wouldn't he be the top ranker?"

"You two, you don't even understand this~"

"..."

Fan Jian Gang frantically tried to explain.

But the other two didn't believe him at all.

This guy was so shameless that he directly used his voice to speak.

In fact, the three of them hadn't met in person. Wang Teng and He Anxia were communicating through divine sense, but Fan Jian Gang directly spoke out loud, rattling off a string of words.

As soon as he spoke, he confused not only the numerous spectators but also the remaining Fourteenth Prince and others.

Holy sht!!!

This kid, so that was his plan? Fck, I almost fell for it!

But just as they thought Fan Jian Gang was relying on external objects and had already used his trump card, they suddenly realized something was amiss.

"That's not right!"

"If that's truly the case, why would he say it out loud?"

"This kid has advanced through the ranks with some bumps and bruises, but he's also a pig-eating-tiger type, hiding his true abilities. He's a deep thinker, and I'm too embarrassed to point it out to him!"

"So, how could he be so 'careless' and forget to use divine sense when communicating with others, instead speaking out loud?"

They were still guessing when Fan Jian Gang suddenly seemed to 'wake up' with a 'guilty' expression, covering his mouth...

Fck!

If you weren't acting, we would have only suspected that you were setting a trap, but with that expression, it's not just a suspicion or doubt. You're definitely setting a trap! Goddamn it!

"..."

"Your Highness."

Old Deng took a deep breath, "It's not that I slipped up, but this kid is too strange. If you encounter him... be careful!"

Fourteenth Prince: "(⊙_⊙)..."

What a load of bullsht!

Do you have to spell it out for us?

Do you think I'm an idiot?

He was too lazy to pay attention to Old Deng, but the thought of Fan Jian Gang's strangeness, especially the method he used to defeat his Twelfth Stage opponent, made it hard to ignore.

After a moment of consideration, he could only suppress his annoyance and say, "Old Deng, do you mean Fan Jian Gang is hiding more than we can see?"

"It must be so!"

"I don't believe I slipped up three times, especially the second and third times..."

"Stop."

The Fourteenth Prince raised his hand, "This matter is in the past, so don't bring it up again."

"Just state your conclusion."

Old Deng: "..."

"I believe this kid has been up to something behind the scenes."

"As Your Highness said, he's hiding more than what everyone sees, even beyond imagination!"

"So, be cautious!"

The Fourteenth Prince pondered for a moment, "Did you understand the method he just used?"

Old Deng's expression turned serious, "I can't say I fully understood it, but it's not far off."

"He used array techniques, an extremely profound array."

You're full of sht!

The Fourteenth Prince was annoyed, "Be specific."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I believe he must have found an opportunity to set up the array beforehand, and during their argument, he quietly activated it. Finally, at the moment his opponent attacked, he completely 'detonated' it."

"This array is powerful. Although we can't see anything, those within the array instantly face 'desperate straits' and even lose control of their physical bodies, constantly being 'erased'."

The Fourteenth Prince: "What array is it? Is there a way to break it?"

Old Deng replied, "I don't know."

Fourteenth Prince: "Fck!"

What's the point of you then?

Fortunately, Old Deng added, "Indeed, I don't know which array he used, but from the opponent's performance, it's likely the legendary..."

"Reverse Yin-Yang Array!"

The Fourteenth Prince was shocked, "Σ(⊙▽⊙“a??"

"Reverse... Reverse Yin-Yang Array?!"

"That's impossible!"

The Reverse Yin-Yang Array is a renowned array in the Immortal World, with its creator unknown. In the ancient past, the God and Demon Races were in constant opposition and warfare.

Finally, one day, a great battle erupted between the two races, with all their powerful members joining the fight. This battle was so intense that it darkened the sky and dimmed the sun and moon, even causing the sun to lose its brilliance.

Subsequently, both sides deployed their elite forces, nearly annihilating each other. In the end, the God Race turned the tide with the Reverse Yin-Yang Array, defeating the Demon Race and eradicating them entirely, including their entire race.

Since then, the Immortal World has only had Demon Cultivators, and the Demon Race ceased to exist.

However, it's said that the God Race also paid a heavy price, especially the members of the God Race within the Reverse Yin-Yang Array, who all perished.

After that, the God Race, though still powerful, mysteriously withdrew from the Three Thousand Continents, creating their own 'God World'.

They remained within the Immortal World but became relatively independent.

The 'God Race' indeed seemed distant.

But the Reverse Yin-Yang Array was a legendary array!

Throughout history, only the God Race had created the Reverse Yin-Yang Array, and it was a one-time occurrence. How could a Tenth Stage cultivator, who seemed so eccentric, possibly recreate the Reverse Yin-Yang Array?

The Fourteenth Prince didn't believe it.

"This..."

Old Deng pondered, "I can't confirm either."

"But I believe the array he set up couldn't be the complete Reverse Yin-Yang Array."

"Moreover..."

"The possibility is high."

"Evidence?" The Fourteenth Prince frowned.

"If we're talking about evidence, I must admit I have none. But the moment he set up the formation, I distinctly felt the area undergo a Yin-Yang reversal, a chaos of heaven and earth..."

"That sensation and state closely resembled the legendary Yin-Yang Reversal Grand Formation!"

"And then there's the state of his opponent."

"A Twelfth Stage Talented Youth, frozen in mid-air by a Tenth Stage junior cultivator in an instant, and then 'erased' within a short time, turning into powder. This is also similar to the records of the Yin-Yang Reversal Grand Formation."

He sighed lightly, "Aside from that, I can't think of any other possibility."

The Fourteenth Prince was stunned.

It couldn't possibly be the Yin-Yang Reversal Grand Formation, could it? Even if it's an incomplete version, I, a Thirteenth Stage cultivator, wouldn't be able to withstand it!

"So, you think..."

"He did it intentionally to make me suspicious and retreat, or is he using a tactic to confuse and intimidate me?"

Old Deng's eyes lit up, and he pondered, "Well... I believe..."

"Believe..."

Even Old Deng didn't know!

Who could possibly know?

If it's fake, why bother? If he didn't expose it himself, wouldn't it be more frightening and intimidating? Why say it out loud and make me suspicious?

But if it's real...

It's still the same.

It's better not to expose it! If it's real, why say it out loud?

It's more effective to intimidate others and make them afraid to fight!

Whether it's real or not, he shouldn't have said it out loud!

This...

What's the point of this?

This formation is still usable, so he could just go up on stage and kill someone.

If it can't be used again, it's a one-time trick. Why did you mention it then?

He's crazy!

A moment of carelessness?!

Pah!

Sprinkling pepper on a grave, what's the point of that?

"I think, this this... I think..." Old Deng was about to speak, but the Fourteenth Prince suddenly stopped him.

"Forget it!"

"You'd better not say anything."

"Let this prince decide for himself."

The Fourteenth Prince's heart was filled with shock.

Holy shit!!!

I was too careless, incredibly careless! I almost fell into his trap.

This Old Deng...

He's really a troublemaker!

And he's already tricked me several times, yet I still haven't learned my lesson.

This is just unacceptable!!!

...

Soon, it was time for the semifinals.

As expected, Fan Jian Gang was up against the Fourteenth Prince.

The two of them ascended the stage, and Fan Jian Gang scratched his head. "Which..."

"Can I say a few words?"

The Fourteenth Prince's expression turned matching: "What are you up to now?"

For the past three days, he had been pondering Fan Jian Gang's previous action, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand. Finally, he concluded that this bastard was doing it on purpose!

He was just trying to torment people and mess with their minds!

His goal was to make it impossible for others, no, for himself, to stay calm and to torment himself.

This bastard!!!

He had finally made up his mind to give it a try. After all, if a Tenth Stage junior cultivator were to win the top rank in the Talented Youth Gathering organized by their Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, it would be quite embarrassing. It would make their Talented Youth Gathering sound so low-level!

If even a Tenth Stage cultivator could take first place, what would that say about the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty?

So, after much deliberation, he decided to go on stage and give it a shot.

At worst, he could call for help early.

But what if this guy's tactic was a one-time use? Wouldn't that be perfect?

However, contrary to his expectations, as soon as Fan Jian Gang stepped onto the stage, he indicated that he had something to say.

This made the Fourteenth Prince very wary.

"Actually, it's not much, but..."

"I greatly admire the founder of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, that emperor, who was truly a talent that spanned the heavens and earth. He is a true dragon among men, and his name will echo through the ages, a Sage Emperor throughout history!"

However.

As soon as Fan Jian Gang opened his mouth, he completely stunned the Fourteenth Prince.

In the arena...

All the spectators were dumbfounded as well.

What the hell is this?!

The Talented Youth Gathering!

This is the finals, bro! I thought you were going to say something to mess with my head, but you're pulling this?

You're flattering the founder of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, aren't you?

No, you're sucking up to them right on the arena! Even if you were sucking up, you should be sucking up to me!

What's the point of sucking up to the founder?

Before they could figure it out, Fan Jian Gang spoke faster and with a more passionate tone: "He swept across the six states, unified them, and established the first empire, becoming the first true emperor."

"He standardized the writing system, chariot tracks, and measures..."

"These were the deeds of a Sage Emperor, laying the most solid foundation for a prosperous era."

"Every time I hear about it, I'm filled with unparalleled excitement and can't sleep at night."

"I wish I had been born earlier to witness the First Emperor's conquest of the six states and the unparalleled feat of an entire nation ascending to immortality."

"But fortunately, I still have the chance to set foot in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty and admire its splendor."

"Today..."

"I am truly blessed!"

The Fourteenth Prince: "..."

He didn't say a word.

But in his heart, he was already thinking, 'Holy shit!'

Holy shit!!!

Holy shit!

The way you're praising him, I'm starting to feel embarrassed, even though I'm not the founder. But... why do I feel a sense of pride?

A Sage Emperor?

But in our historical records, wasn't the founder called a tyrant?

What's going on here?

The Fourteenth Prince seemed as calm as an old dog, but in reality, he had no idea how to respond or what to say.

It was just too much!

Fan Jian Gang's words were like a super hard control skill, leaving the Fourteenth Prince at a loss for words and even unsure if he should make a move!

This is...

It's a bit over the top! If someone praises our Great Qin like this, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to strike hard?

On the spectator stands.

Many viewers stared at Fan Jianqiang, who wore an expression of 'adoration,' with countless grass mud horses galloping through their minds.
