Huo Lu glanced at Huo Ding and said coldly, "There is less than a year left before the start of the Holy Pattern Competition. If Song Tian can advance to the fourth-level Saint Pattern Master in less than a year and crack my
The fourth-level holy pattern array he has laid out is enough to prove that he is a holy pattern genius and is qualified to participate in the holy pattern competition. In this case, for the glory of Donglin Academy, I have no reason to stop him."
"Forehead……"
Huo Ding was speechless after hearing what Huo Lu said.
He also understood Huo Lu's intention from Huo Lu's words.
Huo Lu was just unhappy that Ling Tian represented Donglin Academy in the Holy Pattern Competition.
He felt that Ling Tian was not qualified and would bring shame to Donglin Academy.
If Ling Tian proves his ability, Huo Lu will no longer stop him.
But in fact, how can the fourth-order holy pattern array arranged by Huo Lu be so easy to crack?
There are dozens of fourth-level holy pattern masters in Donglin Academy.
Those who can break through its fourth-level holy pattern formation can be counted on one hand.
Even if Ling Tian is lucky enough to advance to the fourth level of the Holy Pattern Master, there is no possibility of breaking the formation in a short period of time.
After a while, Huo Lu completed the formation. After confirming that there was no problem with the fourth-order holy pattern array he had arranged, he turned to Huo Ding and said, "Let's go."
Huo Ding looked complicated and finally glanced at the entrance of the cave.
Then he followed Huo Lu and left this place.
…
In the cave, Ling Tian concentrated on cultivating the holy pattern path.
He has no idea what happened outside the cave.
After several months of practice, his attainments in holy patterns have improved.
Now, it has almost reached the peak of the third level.
However, there is still a long way to go before he can officially advance to the fourth level of Holy Pattern Master.
The day of the Holy Pattern Competition was approaching, and Lin Yin, the dean of Donglin Academy, summoned everyone.
On this day, all the fourth-level and fifth-level holy pattern masters from Donglin Academy gathered together.
Most of them just came to see me off.
Lin Yin only planned to send ten people to participate in the Holy Pattern Competition.
Moreover, it still adheres to the principle of voluntariness.
If you participate in the Sacred Pattern Competition and enter the Yunmeng Temple, you may have an opportunity.
But at the same time, there may also be danger of death.
Of the twelve fifth-level holy pattern masters from Donglin Academy, only eight chose to participate.
"Zhongmou!"
Lin Yin appeared, glanced at the crowd, and when Ling Tian disappeared, he turned to Shen Zhongmou and asked, "Where is Song Tian? Why didn't you come here?"
"Song Tian?"
Shen Zhongmou frowned slightly, not knowing how to reply to Lin Yin.
He only knew that Ling Tian left Donglin Academy a few years ago.
But when Ling Tian came back, he went directly to the back mountain without notifying him.
After that, he never showed up at Donglin Academy again.
At this time, Shen Zhongmou thought that Ling Tian had not returned to Donglin Academy.
He was wondering because Ling Tian had vowed when he left that he would not break the promise.
Why didn't you show up today?
Could it be that something unexpected happened?
"Who has seen Song Tian?"
Lin Yin saw that Shen Zhongmou didn't know, and then asked the other people in the place loudly.
Everyone looked at each other and whispered, but no one gave an answer.
"Dean!"
At this time, Huo Lu stood up.
"Do you know where Song Tian went?"
Lin Yin heard the sound, looked at Huo Lu and asked.
Huo Lu did not answer Lin Yin's question, but simply said, "Song Tian, a mere first- and third-level holy pattern master, is not qualified to participate in the holy pattern competition. Since he did not show up today, I think there is no need to wait."
"Um……"
Lin Yin knew that Huo Lu had objections to Ling Tian's participation in the Holy Pattern Competition, but now that he heard what Huo Lu said, he didn't bother to respond. He just glanced at the crowd again and asked, "None of you have seen Song Tian?"
"
I know……"
The crowd was silent for a moment, then suddenly a voice came out.
Everyone heard the sound and looked at the speaker at the same time.
This person's name is Li Mo, and he is a fourth-level holy pattern master of Donglin Academy. .??.
The attainment of holy patterns is the lowest among the fourth-level holy pattern masters.
Of course, compared with the third-level holy pattern masters from Donglin Academy, they are still much stronger.
Following Li Mo's words, Lin Yin, Shen Zhongmou, Huo Lu and others all looked over.
"Have you met Song Tian?"
Lin Yin asked Li Mo.
"No."
Li Mo replied.
"Then how do you say you know?"
Lin Yin looked startled and said in confusion.
"I'm just guessing."
Li Mo said awkwardly, "Song Tian may be trapped in the 28th hole in the back mountain."
"Um?"
Lin Yin stared at Li Mo, waiting for Li Mo's explanation.
Li Mo immediately said, "A few days ago, I just came back from the back mountain. When I passed the 28th cave, I found a fourth-order holy pattern formation outside the 28th cave blocking the exit. So I guessed,
Song Tian may be trapped there."
"What?"
Lin Yin's expression changed and he looked angry, "Who did this!"
After the shouts faded, his eyes scanned the crowd.
In the end, it fell on Huo Lu.
"I did it."
Huo Lu felt calm and took a step forward to admit.
"Huo Lu, you have gone too far!"
Lin Yin scolded, "I know you don't want Song Tian to represent Donglin Academy in the Holy Pattern Competition, but it's really unbecoming of a master to prevent Song Tian from participating in the Holy Pattern Competition in this way."
"If I really want to use the holy pattern array to trap him, why don't I arrange a fifth-level holy pattern array?"
Huo Lu had already expected Lin Yin to make such accusations, and his expression
He said calmly, "I sealed the cave with the fourth-order holy pattern array just to test Song Tian. If Song Tian can't come out from inside, it proves that his attainments in holy patterns are too weak and he is not suitable to participate in the holy pattern competition."
"Nonsense!"
Seeing that Huo Lu was still struggling with this point, Lin Yin was speechless for a while, "I explained to you that I have other arrangements for Song Tian to participate in the Holy Pattern Competition."
"Dean, it's getting late."
Shen Zhongmou learned that Ling Tian was at the back of Donglin Academy, and interrupted the conversation between Lin Yin and Huo Lu, "Should we take him out first?"
"Walk!"
Lin Yin nodded and walked away.
Seeing this, all the holy tattoo masters here followed suit.
Huo Lu's face was gloomy, but he did not stop him and rushed to the back mountain.
A moment later, all the saint tattoo masters gathered in the back hill of Donglin Academy.
From the pavilion next to him, the slovenly middle-aged man also came out.
"Third uncle!"
Lin Yin saw the slovenly middle-aged man and quickly bowed.
This third uncle's voice made many holy pattern masters change their minds.
All the holy tattoo masters here are the commanding holy tattoo masters of Donglin Academy.
Before that, they all came to practice in the seventy-two caves in the back mountain more than once.
So they all saw a sloppy middle-aged man and thought he was a mountain guard.
Unexpectedly, the slovenly middle-aged man turned out to be the dean's third uncle...
"Ready to go?"
The slovenly middle-aged man came to Lin Yin and said casually, "We are about to leave. Just send someone to let me know. There is no need to bring so many people here, right?"
From Donglin Academy, ten people participated in the Holy Pattern Competition.
Eight of them are fifth-level holy pattern masters, and one is Ling Tian.
The last person left was this slovenly middle-aged Lin Xun.
Lin Xun is not only the third uncle of the dean, but also a powerful sixth-level holy pattern master.
At this moment, when he saw Lin Yin leading the crowd here, he thought he was being informed to go to the Yunmeng Immortal Sect.
