A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2351 Hope

In the end, the joint Titan Formation unleashed by Zhang Nanhai and Gaius was unable to withstand the collective assault of ten Supremes.

Nevertheless, the two of them still exchanged over a hundred intense blows with the crowd.

Eventually, Sword Saint found an opportunity and thrust his sword into the titan's body, reverting both of them to their original forms.

“Holy smokes! Sword Saint, you ruthless person! Do you truly wish to kill us? Let me warn you that I, Gaius, am highly regarded in Dragon God Hall. Thousands of disciples in Dragon God Hall, including our Dragon Master, Chu Tianfan, consider me a treasure! If I were to die, Dragon Master would surely bring the disciples of Dragon God Hall to avenge me. At that time, each and every one of you will have to accompany me in death!” Gaius cursed loudly with a darkened face, coughing out blood.

Upon hearing the name Chu Tianfan, everyone present twitched.

Aaron and Carlo quickly put on their best smiles, awkwardly laughing.

“Gaius, don't be angry. It was a mistake, truly a mistake. We were focused on the matter, not the person, without the slightest intention of targeting you. Let's talk this out calmly. At worst, you could just strike Sword Saint one more time,” Aaron said with an ingratiating smile.

Carlo also kept apologizing.

“That's right. We can have a nice chat. There's no need to get angry. Moreover, Hall Master Chu is always busy managing countless affairs. I believe we shouldn't trouble him with such trivial matters.”

It was clear that Aaron and the others had been intimidated by Ye Fan.

Although they guessed that most of what Gaius had said earlier was a joke, the fear of “what if” still lingered.

What if this old geezer really went to complain to Ye Fan?

After the events of recent years, everyone knew how fiercely protective Ye Fan was of his subordinates.

Sword Saint also came over to explain, “Gaius, there's no need to be so petty. Our little spat was truly unintentional.”

Upon seeing that a casual remark of his had caused these martial arts world bigwigs to come and apologize one after another, Gaius was also somewhat shocked.

In his heart, he thought, Indeed, our Dragon Master is truly formidable.

Even though he's still at Mount Kransbay cultivating, his reputation has already spread across the entire martial arts world and instilled fear into everyone.

Gaius waved his hand. “Haha, I was just joking, everyone. No need to take it seriously. Anyway, stop wasting my time. The star of the day is this guy here. To tell you the truth, I never expected this Titan Formation to be so formidable. If I hadn't used the formation with him, I'm afraid we wouldn't even stand a chance against Sword Saint. But after the fusion, our combat power surged dramatically, to the point we were capable of single-handedly battling ten Supremes! The increase in combat power is significant!”

Sword Saint and the others promptly delved into the main topic, each expressing their own views.

“Indeed.”

“Is the power of that formation really that formidable?”

“Hey, kid, tell me quickly, what's the mystery behind all this?”

“Moreover, can this Comprehensive Array Attack only be used by two people?”

Everyone eagerly asked questions.

They had seen Comprehensive Array Attacks before, so it wasn't something unfamiliar to them.

However, in the martial arts world of the past, even the most powerful Comprehensive Array Attacks could only achieve an effect where one plus one equals three, which was already considered extraordinary.

Yet, Zhang Nanhai's formation resulted in one plus one almost equaling ten.

Moreover, the combat abilities of Aaron and Carlo far exceeded those of the typical Supremes. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they surpassed them by more than tenfold.

The formation's astonishingly powerful effect naturally left everyone utterly shocked and horrified.

“Everyone, please remain calm and listen carefully as I recount the story in detail.”

Zhang Nanhai signaled everyone to quiet down before he began to recount his story.

“Over the past couple of years, I have been at the peak of Mount Kransbay, contemplating the Universe Tree. I've always been curious how a tiny tree could possess such magnificent and overwhelming strength. Beyond the tree's inherent capabilities, I discovered, more importantly, that it had the power to harness heaven and earth energy. Moreover, the larger its form, the more heaven and earth energy it could draw and absorb. Therefore, the Universe Tree grew rapidly. Its massive size is a significant reason for its immense power. Inspired by this, I created the Titan Formation. Emulating the way the Universe Tree harnesses heaven and earth energy, I drew inspiration from its approach of using a towering form to increase my energy storage limit. For this

reason, the Titan Formation is a Comprehensive Array Attack completely unlike any before as it subverts conventional thinking and imagination!”

Carlo, Aaron, and the others listened, nodding in amazement.

“Well, I'll be!” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“This is a completely new way of thinking!”

“In the past, our sole focus was on refinement or how to minimize things.”

“Simplicity in complexity, small yet focused, is the consensus among all martial artists!”

“And yet, by going against the grain, you achieved such remarkable results!”

“Amazing, truly amazing!”

Many people in the crowd gave Zhang Nanhai a thumbs-up, undoubtedly looking at the young man before them with newfound respect.

However, after the shock, Aaron and the others still shook their heads.

“However, merely relying on this to defeat the Universe Tree is still unrealistic. Even if we were to find the two strongest individuals from around the globe and have them use the Titan Formation, thus amplifying their power tenfold, would this really be enough to deal with the Universe Tree? I fear the disparity between mankind and the Universe Tree is fundamental! Even if their power were amplified tenfold or twentyfold, there wouldn't be much of a difference.”

Aaron shook his head, while Carlo sighed.

The surge of enthusiasm that had just kindled among the crowd died down.

But at that moment, Zhang Nanhai gave a proud smile. “That's not necessarily the case.”

“Oh? Could it be that this Titan Formation of yours has other ingenious uses?”

Everyone immediately turned their gaze toward Zhang Nanhai.

“Of course!” Zhang Nanhai continued, “I've never said that my Titan Formation could only merge two people.”

What?

Upon hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

"Do you mean that three or four people can also use it?"

Zhang Nanhai nodded emphatically. "Not just three or four people; even if there were thirty or forty people, as long as they learned my Titan Formation, they could all merge together. When the time comes, the titan formed from the fusion will be taller, bigger, and stronger!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment.

Zhang Nanhai's words had everyone holding their breath for a moment.

A deafening silence filled the air instantly.

Gripped by terror, everyone couldn't help but draw in sharp breaths.

"Is what you're saying really true?"

"Young man, you have to be careful with your words! Don't go spouting nonsense now!"

"Do you realize the significance of your words just now?" Aaron questioned Zhang Nanhai.

While he doubted the truthfulness of Zhang Nanhai's words, he also desperately wanted them to be true.

Because, if Zhang Nanhai's words were indeed true, it meant that humanity's power could experience exponential growth in a short period of time.

If two people merged, their power could increase tenfold.

In that case, what about hundreds of people or even a thousand people?

How many times would their strength be multiplied?

Zhang Nanhai chuckled. "I never speak without thinking. What I said is the truth. However, I still need to verify the actual results. Logically speaking, the more people that merge, the larger the titan form will become, and its power will become increasingly terrifying. As long as we continue to accumulate in numbers, surpassing the Universe Tree is definitely achievable. However, this is merely a theory because even I don't know if there is a bottleneck in the energy amplification, or whether there's a limit to the number of people that can merge."

Indeed, it was often said that one must either speak astonishing words or remain silent.

What Zhang Nanhai said completely reignited hope in the previously desolate martial arts world!

"You have to test your theory!"

"Verify it immediately!"

"Get started on the verification right away!"

"I'll personally take charge of this matter!"

Aaron and Carlo, as if driven mad, were shouting excitedly in the palace.

After all, this was a matter of life and death for all of humanity.

How could they not be anxious?
