"If you're that confident, then all I can say is that I'm happy to oblige," Huang Feng said.
"Enough talk. You go first, or I go first?" Zhou Long asked impatiently.
"After you. The guest follows the host's lead," Huang Feng replied.
"Fine." After agreeing, Zhou Long began forming hand seals with one hand, setting up a sealing formation. His speed was remarkable — the power of the barrier was wielded with practiced ease, and his method of array deployment was clever and ingenious, showing a unique approach.
Under the influence of his many abilities, his innate talent as a prodigy was on full display. In the span of a single blink, a gleaming sealing formation was completed, sitting before the crowd.
Everyone present was a Spirit World Master. They didn't even need to use their sensory powers — with just their eyes alone, they could tell that the quality of this sealing formation was exceptionally high.
"Excellent. Truly worthy of being the number-one genius of the Ancient Seal Village. A sealing formation like this is genuinely astonishing."
At this moment, once Zhou Long's sealing formation was finished, many onlookers nodded approvingly. Zhou Long's sealing work was indeed formidable — many of the half-emperor-level powerhouses present couldn't have deployed such an impressive sealing formation in the same amount of time.
"Your turn." Hearing the surrounding praise, Zhou Long grew even more smug. He addressed Huang Feng with a contemptuous tone.
"Very well." To his great surprise, however, Huang Feng showed no fear in the face of the provocation. Instead, he smiled faintly and answered with composure. Then, with a sweep of his wide sleeve, his hands began shifting rapidly as he started constructing his own sealing barrier formation.
His speed seemed even faster than Zhou Long's — so fast that many of the Spirit World Masters present were left dazzled, unable to even track the motions of his hand seals.
"This..."
Once Huang Feng completed his sealing formation, every single person present had their expression shift in shock.
The villagers of the Ancient Seal Village were especially stunned, their faces ashen with disbelief at what lay before them. Some were so shaken that they swayed left and right, and in the end their feet slipped out from under them — with a thud, they crumpled to the ground, thoroughly frightened.
They were all Spirit World Masters. With a single glance, they could tell that Huang Feng had set up his sealing formation even faster than Zhou Long, and the quality of his formation was superior as well.
"Impossible! Impossible — this is absolutely impossible!" Zhou Long suddenly shouted. He refused to believe what was in front of him was real.
Because he could see it too — the sealing formation Huang Feng had constructed was genuinely higher in quality than his own.
But who was he? He was the number-one genius of the Ancient Seal Village! His greatest expertise was the art of sealing! In the earlier competition involving alchemy — a field he wasn't even specialized in — he had managed to tie with Huang Feng. Now, in a contest of the very art he excelled at, how could he possibly lose?
"What's the matter? Can't handle losing again? You worthless thing," Huang Feng said with a cold sneer.
"Who are you calling worthless?" Zhou Long demanded bitterly.
"I'm calling you that. The proof is right here. What is there for you to deny?"
