Ximantuo 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 and many things have changed, some things are still there. Seeing these things, Ban Ming will remember the time, as if the beauty is still there.

In the quiet atmosphere, after a few seconds, Ban Ming finally took his eyes back from the lake, landed on Ximantuo's face, and said, "So, why are you looking for me?"

A hint of red glow flashed quickly on Ximantuo's face. In order to hide his embarrassment, his face turned slightly cold and his tone was a little unkind: "Why didn't you participate in the registered disciple assessment?"

"It's because of this..." Ban Ming smiled helplessly and said, "Because there was something else to be busy that day, so it was like that."

What he didn't say was that I was busy being the chief examiner at that time.

Ximantuoqiong's nose was slightly frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer, and frowned and said, "Is there anything more important than becoming a disciple of the Formation Ancestor?"

Ban Ming smiled lightly and said, "The concept of importance is relative. For example, some people think diamonds are precious, but some people just think it is just a stone... By the way, I have not congratulated you on passing the first round of assessment. Has the second round of assessment begun?"

"Because of the last attack in your school, the assessment was postponed and will be carried out in two days. At that time, the first round passers-by of the three exam areas will gather together." Ximantuo stared at Ban Ming and said, "Although I don't know what is the most important thing to you, at least you love the formation, don't you? If you miss this opportunity, you may regret your whole life."

Ban Ming could feel the sincerity in Ximantuo's words, and his heart was filled with some resistance from the girl's repeated entanglements. However, he still shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but some things are not real."

Ximantuo's brows were frowning even more tightly, and he couldn't understand the secret in Ban Ming's words. He only thought Ban Ming was pretending to be mysterious and evaded him. His expression immediately became a little cold and said, "Since that's the case, then, you can compete with me."

"Hey?" Ban Ming couldn't help but be surprised, then understood and laughed: "Nothing is like."

Seeing that Ban Ming's tone was a little careless, Ximantuo felt depressed for no reason and snorted coldly: "Do you think you can win me?"

"That's not what I mean..." Ban Ming said in embarrassment: "You are a top student in Mingxue Jingyuan. I am just a college student. I must not be able to compare with you, so I feel there is no need to compare."

"How can you know if you haven't compared it?" Seeing that Ban Ming was afraid to respond, Ximantuo couldn't help but feel irritated, his eyes became colder, and he said, "After all, you are a man, how can you be defeated without fighting?"

Ban Ming just smiled awkwardly, trying to get through this way.

He really doesn't want to compete with Ximantuo for formations or something, because he really is a bit bullying the small one by the big one.

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

There was a strange light flashing in her eyes, and she said confidently: "One day, I will become a strange woman like a 'beautiful man'."

Ban Ming almost spurted out his old blood. He never expected that the other person would become Ximantuo's idol, and the three words "strange woman" sounded really awkward. Is it because you prepared a pseudonym for yourself in advance, and was going to have fun with "beautiful man"?

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

He really wanted to tell Ximantuo that the person you admire and the person you despise are actually the same person.

Just as Ban Ming turned his thoughts, Ximantuo suddenly fell on his face again, with a look of "hate that iron cannot be made of steel" in his eyes, and said, "No matter what, you still have to compete with me once, otherwise I will be unable to get rid of my heart."

Disorder?

Ban Ming suddenly understood a little and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The girl was really too persistent about some things. She sighed and said, "Okay, since you insist on doing this, then we will compete."

Ximantuo's eyes suddenly burst into bright spirits and was full of fighting spirit.

Ban Ming thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, I'll set up a formation. If you can crack it, you will win."

"Okay!" Ximantuo responded without thinking.

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

This is actually a sign of her strong confidence in herself, and she believes that she can win any method of the competition.

Ban Ming smiled slightly, then raised his right index finger and gently stroked the air a few times.

Ximantuo's eyes suddenly widened.

Ordinary people may not have any awareness, but Ximantuo, as a top-grade warrior in the Heavenly Realm, could clearly feel that as Ban Ming's fingers slashed, an extremely fine formation composed of weak mental power condensed and appeared in the air.

Ximantuo couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his eyes. Just this move alone showed Ban Ming's powerful control over his mental power.

It is not difficult to use mental power to condense a formation. What is difficult is that after successful condensation, the formation can be kept running extremely steadily without making any mistakes.

Ban Ming bounced his fingers, and the formation, which was only the size of a fingernail, flew into Ximantuo's eyebrows. The light flowed slightly, and the formation started to operate silently.

Ximantuo let Ban Ming put the formation formed by the spiritual power on his forehead. The moment the formation started to operate, her face suddenly changed, and she showed a trembling look, saying, "Can this formation... block my mental power?"

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

Ximantuo tried it and found that as Ban Ming said, his mental power was not completely limited, and he still had about one-fifty-tenth of his mental power to mobilize.

Ximantuo used his mental power to carefully sense the trajectory of the formation. After a moment, he stared at Ban Ming and said, "I have never heard of such a formation... Could it be that you created it yourself?"

Ban Ming shrugged and said, "Let's set the time to three days. Now three days later, we will meet here again. If you can break the formation, you will win."

Ximantuo was completely stunned.

You should know that being able to create a formation is at least at the level of a formation master. With Ximantuo's eyesight, it can be seen at a glance that this formation is very profound and almost perfect, and is definitely beyond the ability of an ordinary formation master to create.

Could it be that this "Shu Hao" formation attainment is already close to the formation master?

As soon as he thought of this, Ximantuo's mind was shocked and a speculation emerged in his mind. So, is this the real reason why he is unwilling to compete with her in this game?

But soon, her eyes burst into more amazing fighting spirit than before, and she looked at Ban Ming with a brilliant look and said, "Okay, Shu Hao, you did not disappoint me! That's all, we will meet here in three days!"

After saying that, she turned around and quickly disappeared from Ban Ming's vision with a swept.

Ban Ming smiled faintly, his eyes returned to the small lake in front of him. He was enlightened for a long time, and sighed softly and left.

...

Mingxue Jingyuan.

Ximantuo had just arrived at the dormitory building and was about to enter the practice room immediately to retreat and crack the sealing formation at the middle of his eyebrows. Suddenly, his brow frowned and his eyes showed a look of boredom.

A tall and handsome man was guarding near the dormitory building. When he saw Ximantuo, his eyes immediately became bright and he immediately came over.

Ximantuo looked at the man as if nothing had happened and walked straight to the door of the dormitory.

"Mando!" The man showed a warm and sunny smile, and his figure cleverly blocked Ximando in front of him.

"Feng Yuxiu, please give in. I have something to do now." Ximantuo said calmly.

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

He held a piece of paper in his hand, with a formation figure drawn on it.

Ximantuo's expression moved slightly. He took the paper and took a look, and then he lost all his interest.

Many things are afraid of comparison. If it were the past, she might have been a little interested, but now... compared with the formation created by "Shu Hao", this formation is too superficial.

While returning the paper, Ximantuo said, "Let's talk about it next time, I'm not available now."

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

Some students from Mingxue Jing Academy who were watching the fun around him couldn't help but look surprised.

A look of shame and annoyance flashed quickly on Feng Yuxiu's face, and at the same time he felt deeply puzzled.

In Mingxue Jingyuan, many people know that he is Ximantuo’s suitor, and even Ximantuo himself knows it.

He also knew that in Ximantuo's eyes, he was not essentially different from other classmates, but perhaps because of this, his obsession with Ximantuo became increasingly deep.

Therefore, in order to say a few more words to Ximantuo, he adopted a strategy of devoting his own good, constantly studying the formation, and using fresh things to attract Ximantuo's attention, in order to be able to say a few more words to the beauty.

This strategy seemed to be quite successful in the past. Although Feng Yuxiu did not become real friends with Ximantuo, he finally made him a little different from other boys.

Therefore, Feng Yuxiu believed that as long as he persisted, he would one day touch Ximantuo's heart.

However, some things are wrong today.

Feng Yuxiu was very confident in the formation he took out. This formation was indeed created by him, but on this basis, he also asked a senior formation master to improve certain details.

In his opinion, the level of this formation is nothing to say. If Ximantuo saw it, he would definitely be attracted by it at first sight.

In that case, I can spend a long time alone with Ximantuo in the name of discussing the formation.

However, Ximantuo's reaction was so cold that he lost interest just by just a glance, which made Feng Yuxiu feel a little embarrassed and confused.

Seeing Ximantuo disappear at the door of the dormitory, Feng Yuxiu's face changed slightly and he turned around and left.

When they arrived at a secluded place, Feng Yuxiu and someone started a video call.

"Check me out what abnormal behaviors Ximantuo has done recently and has he been in contact with anyone?"

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

...

For Ban Ming, Ximantuo's incident was just a small episode.

In the next three days, he no longer focused on practicing, but started classes like other students.

Although many people were surprised by the reappearance of "Shu Hao", many people have no longer focused on him, so they are not surprised.

What surprised Ban Ming was that the class of the deputy director of the department, Shang Gou, was replaced by another teacher. After inquiring, he found out that in the kidnapping incident not long ago, Shang Gou was unlucky and was tragically affected. It was not just because he was seriously injured, but he became a waste person. He is still lying in the intensive care unit and is unconscious.

This is probably the legendary evil will be punished?

Ban Ming had no sympathy for this guy.

Even though he felt that if he used the founding aura, he might be able to revive Shanggou for a long time, but he would just forget it. He didn't want to repeat the story of the farmer and the snake.

During these three days, Ban Ming did not see Zhang Chao. After asking, he found out that the latter had indeed transferred to the martial arts system.

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

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