Xi Mantuo didn't know that this was an important reason why Ban Ming insisted on staying in the First Military Academy.

Although a hundred years have passed, there have been many things that have changed, but there are still some things, seeing these things, Ban Ming will remember the beginning, as if the people of Iraq are still there.

In the quiet atmosphere, after a few seconds, Ban Ming finally took his gaze back from the lake, fell on Xi Mantuo's face, and said, "So, what are you looking for me for?"

Xi Mantuo's face flashed a trace of red quickly, and in order to hide his embarrassment, his face was slightly cold, and his tone was a little unkind: "Why didn't you participate in the Registered Disciple Assessment?"

"Sure enough, it's because of this matter...... Ban Ming smiled helplessly and said, "Because I happened to be busy with other things that day, so that's it." ”

What he didn't say was that I was busy as an examiner.

Ximantuoqiong's nose wrinkled slightly, obviously not satisfied with this answer, and frowned: "What else will be more important than becoming a disciple of the Formation Ancestor?"

Ban Ming smiled lightly: "The concept of importance is relative, for example, some people think that diamonds are very valuable, but some people only think that it is just a stone...... By the way, I don't congratulate you on passing the first round of assessments, has the second round of assessments begun?"

"Because of the last attack at your school, the test has been postponed and will be held two days later, when the first round of the three test districts will be gathered. Xi Mantuo stared at Ban Ming and said, "Although I don't know what is most important to you, you at least love the formation, don't you? ”

Ban Ming could feel the sincerity in Xi Mantuo's words, and the slight resistance to this girl's repeated entanglement in his heart couldn't help but fade a lot, but he still shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but there are some things that you see are not true." ”

Xi Mantuo's brows frowned even tighter, and he didn't understand the allusion in Ban Ming's words, so he only thought that Ban Ming was pretending to be a hypocrisy to prevaricate himself, and his expression immediately turned a little colder, and said, "Since this is the case, then, you and I should have a game." ”

"Hey?" Ban Ming couldn't help but be surprised, then understood, and said with a smile: "There's nothing to compare." ”

Seeing that Ban Ming's tone was a little careless, Xi Mantuo felt depressed in his heart for no reason, and snorted coldly: "Do you think you have won me?"

"That's not what I mean...... Ban Ming said with some embarrassment: "You are a top student of Mingxue Jingyuan, and I am only a college student, so I definitely can't compare to you, so I don't think there is any need to compare." ”

"How do you know if you don't have it?" Seeing that Ban Ming didn't dare to fight, Xi Mantuo couldn't help but be irritable in his heart, his eyes became even colder, and said: "Anyway, you are also a man, how can you be defeated without a fight?"

Ban Ming just smiled awkwardly, trying to mix it up in this way.

He really didn't want to test the formation with Ximantuo or anything, because it was really a bit of a big bully.

Looking at Ban Ming's appearance, Xi Mantuo was finally disappointed in him, and sighed: "People are really different, in this world, there are 'beautiful men' who have created the 'other side formation' but are indifferent to fame and fortune, and there are also cowards who only know how to avoid challenges in the face of challenges......"

Her eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and she said confidently, "One day, I want to become a strange woman like 'beautiful man'." ”

Ban Ming almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he never expected that the other self would actually become the idol of Ximantuo, and the three words "strange woman" sound really awkward, is it the pen name you prepared for yourself in advance, ready to make fun of the "beautiful man" in pairs?

Ban Ming was also a little drunk when he thought about it.

He really wants to tell Shimanta that the person you admire and the person you despise are actually the same person.

Just when Ban Ming turned this thought, Xi Mantuo suddenly looked at his face again, with a look of "hatred of iron does not make steel" in his eyes, and said: "No matter what, you still have to compare with me once, otherwise my heart barrier will be difficult to remove." ”

Heart disorder?

Ban Ming suddenly understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this girl was really too persistent about some things, and sighed lightly: "Okay, since you insist on this, then let's have a fight." ”

Xi Mantuo's eyes suddenly bloomed with a bright look, full of fighting spirit.

Ban Ming thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll arrange a formation, if you can crack it, even if you win." ”

"Okay!" Shimanda answered without even thinking about it.

In her opinion, as long as she can compete with Ban Ming, there is no problem in any way.

And this is actually a manifestation of her strong confidence in herself, believing that she can win no matter what method of competition.

Ban Ming smiled slightly, then raised his right index finger and swiped lightly in the air a few times.

Xi Mantuo's eyes widened suddenly.

Ordinary people may not be aware of it, but Xi Mantuo, as a high-grade martial artist in the Heavenly Realm, can clearly feel that with the stroke of Ban Ming's fingers, an extremely fine formation composed of weak spiritual power condensed and appeared in the air.

Xi Mantuo's eyes couldn't help but have a slight shock, just this hand, it had already shown Ban Ming's strong control over spiritual power.

It is not difficult to condense a formation with spiritual power, but the difficulty is that after the condensation is successful, the formation can be kept running extremely stably without mistakes.

Ban Ming flicked his fingers, and the formation that was only the size of a fingernail flew into the center of Ximantuo's eyebrows, and the brilliance flowed slightly, and the formation operated silently.

Xi Mantuo let Ban Ming condense this formation of spiritual power on the center of her eyebrows, and the moment this formation was put into operation, her face suddenly changed, revealing a shocking color, and said, "This formation...... Can you ban my psychic power?"

"It's not a complete ban, it's a restriction. Ban Ming said in a normal tone: "If you can crack this formation, even if you win." ”

Xi Mantuo tried it, and found that as Ban Ming said, his spiritual power was not completely restricted, and there was still about one-fiftieth of his spiritual power that could be mobilized.

Xi Mantuo used his spiritual power to carefully perceive the trajectory of this formation, and after a moment, he looked at Ban Ming in a daze, and said, "I have never heard of such a formation...... Did you create it yourself?"

Ban Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's set the time for three days, three days later, we will meet here again, if you can crack the formation, even if you win." ”

Shimanta was completely stunned.

You must know that being able to create your own formation is at least the level of a formation master, and with Xi Mantuo's eyesight, you can see at a glance that this formation is very profound, almost perfect, and it is definitely not something that ordinary formation masters can create.

Could it be that this "Shu Hao"'s formation attainments are already close to the formation master?

As soon as he thought of this, Xi Mantuo's heart shook, and a speculation couldn't help but pop up in his mind, so this was the real reason why he didn't want to compete with her?

But soon, her eyes burst out with an even more amazing fighting spirit than before, and she looked at Ban Ming with brilliance in her eyes, and said, "Okay, Shu Hao, you really didn't disappoint me!

After speaking, she turned around absolutely, and with a sweep of her figure, she quickly disappeared from Ban Ming's field of vision.

Ban Ming smiled faintly, his eyes returned to the small lake in front of him, he was in a daze for a long time, sighed softly, and drifted away.

......

Mingxue Jingyuan.

Xi Mantuo had just come downstairs in the dormitory, ready to immediately enter the practice room to retreat and crack the forbidden formation at the center of his eyebrows, when he suddenly frowned, and his eyes showed a look of boredom.

A tall and handsome man stood near the dormitory building, and the moment he saw Ximantuo, his eyes immediately brightened, and he immediately greeted him.

Shi Mantuo ignored the man and walked straight to the door of the dormitory.

"Mantuo!" the man smiled warmly, his figure cleverly blocking the front of the mantra.

"Feng Yuxiu, please let me go, I have something to do now. Xi Mantuo said indifferently.

The man named Feng Yuxiu didn't care, and said with tenderness in his eyes: "Mantuo, I have just studied a new formation in the past two days, and I want to discuss it with you. ”

He was holding a piece of paper with a formation figure drawn on it.

Xi Mantuo's expression moved slightly, took the paper, looked at it, and lost the slightest interest.

A lot of things are afraid of comparison, if it was before, maybe she would still be a little interested, but now...... Compared with the formation created by "Shu Hao", this formation is too superficial.

Shi Mantuo said as he returned the paper, "I'll talk about it next time, I'm not free right now." ”

As he spoke, he bypassed the man and went straight into the dormitory.

Some of the students of Mingxue Jingyuan who were watching the excitement around couldn't help but show surprise.

Feng Yuxiu's face quickly flashed a look of shame, and at the same time, he was deeply puzzled.

In Mingxue Jingyuan, many people know that he is the suitor of Ximantuo, and even Ximantuo himself knows.

He also knew that in the eyes of Shimanta, he was not fundamentally different from other classmates, but perhaps because of this, his fascination with Shimanta deepened.

Therefore, in order to be able to say more words to Xi Mantuo, he adopted the strategy of doing what he liked, constantly studying the formation, and using fresh things to attract Xi Mantuo's attention, in order to be able to say more words to the beauty.

This strategy seems to have been relatively successful in the past, although Feng Yuxiu did not become friends in the real sense of the word with Xi Mantuo, but it finally made him a little different from other boys.

Feng Yuxiu therefore believes that as long as he persists, he will one day be able to impress Ximantuo's heart.

Today, however, something is not right.

Feng Yuxiu was extremely confident in the formation he had come up with, this formation was indeed created for him, but on this basis, he also consulted a senior formation master to improve some details.

In his opinion, the level of this formation is not to be said, if Xi Mantuo sees it, he will definitely be attracted by it at first sight.

In that case, he would be able to spend a long time alone with Ximantuo in the name of discussing the formation.

However, Xi Mantuo's reaction was so cold, as if he had lost interest with just one glance, which made Feng Yuxiu inevitably feel a little embarrassed and puzzled.

Watching Xi Mantuo disappear at the door of the dormitory, Feng Yuxiu's face changed slightly, and he turned to leave.

When he arrived at a secluded place, Feng Yuxiu initiated a video call with someone.

"Check me out what unusual things Ximantuo has been doing lately, and whether he has been in contact with anyone. ”

At this moment, there was no ray of sunshine on Feng Yuxiu's face, only a ferocious beast hiding in a dark corner.

......

For Ban Ming, the matter of Ximantuo was just a small episode.

For the next three days, instead of attaching himself to cultivation, he began to attend classes like any other student.

Although many people are surprised by the reappearance of "Shu Hao", many people have not paid attention to him because of the recent major events one after another, so they are not surprised.

What surprised Ban Ming was that Shang Gou, the deputy head of the department, was replaced by another teacher, and after inquiring, he found out that in the kidnapping incident not long ago, Shang Gou was unlucky and was tragically affected, not only was he seriously injured, but he directly became a waste, and now he is still lying unconscious in the intensive care unit.

This is probably the legendary evil retribution?

Ban Ming didn't have the slightest sympathy for this guy.

Even if he thought that if he used the Founding Breath, he might be able to resurrect Shang Gou with full blood, but he didn't want to repeat the story of the farmer and the snake.

In the past three days, Ban Ming did not see Zhang Chao, and after asking, he found out that the latter had indeed been transferred to the martial arts department.

This is probably fate, because because of it, strangers can become familiar, and familiar people can become strangers.

Although Ban Ming felt sorry, he was still able to accept it calmly.

On this day, after class, Ban Ming went straight to the small lake that he had made an appointment with Ximantuo last time.

When he arrived at the lake, Ban Ming saw Ximantuo at a glance.

Standing alone by the lake, she naturally became the focus of attention of the students of the First Military Academy around her, and many people who walked to the lake secretly looked at her.

Turning around, Xi Mantuo looked at Ban Ming, and his eyes immediately became very complicated.

Ban Ming came not far in front of her and smiled slightly.

There was no need to say anything at all, the spiritual resonance that came from the center of Xi Mantuo's eyebrows told Ban Ming that he had won.

As soon as the thought moved, the formation composed of extremely weak spiritual power that had been maintained at the center of Ximantuo's eyebrows for three days quickly dissipated like smoke blown by the wind.

"I lost. There was a look of relief in Xi Mantuo's eyes, no matter whether she won or lost, at this moment, she had let go of her heart barrier.

Ban Ming smiled lightly and changed the topic and said, "By the way, did you pass the second round of assessment yesterday?"

Xi Mantuo nodded, there was not much color in his eyes, and said: "If you pass, as long as you finally pass the interview of the Formation Ancestor, you can become her registered disciple...... Actually, I think you may have the possibility of becoming a disciple of the Formation Ancestor. At the end of the day, she was serious.

Ban Mingyin shook his head with a smile and said, "For me, the formation is not something that I need to love with my life. ”
