The wind rises.

It looks like a hairdryer, but when actually used, it's inhaling wind instead.

Under the influence of the formation created by Wang Ye, all the materials around began gravitating towards him.

One by one, the materials fell into Wang Ye's hands.

Wang Ye didn't even need to move; he could gather materials right where he stood.

Of course, due to the wind's absorption range, there were some limitations on the area for collecting materials.

Yet, even so, this scene left Ting Yun and the onlookers outside stunned.

"It's amazing; he actually did it."

"My understanding of his mastery of feng shui needs to be reassessed! He has reached an accomplished level, constructing a formation with materials I thought were insubstantial. Wang Ye has managed to astonish everyone!"

"I am not as good as him!"

The young magicians, slack-jawed, looked at Wang Ye on the celestial screen and were thoroughly convinced of his skill.

He accomplished something they all subconsciously deemed impossible, and he did it flawlessly.

To them, this demonstrated Wang Ye's formidable feng shui abilities.

Qiu Te, however, wore a rather awkward expression.

Wang Ye being admired by so many young magicians should have been something to celebrate.

But the key problem is…

His betting pool had just started.

The few people who placed bets earlier were glaring at him angrily, their eyes practically devouring Qiu Te.

A few individuals had realized that Qiu Te was setting them up.

And those young magicians who were just eager to bet on Ting Yun losing and Wang Ye failing, now looked at Qiu Te with fervor.

Of course.

This current fervor was different from before.

Earlier, they wanted to bet on Wang Ye failing.

Now, they wanted to bet on Wang Ye winning.

They didn't know Wang Ye at first, but in this brief competition, Wang Ye had constructed a formation with minimal resources, while Ting Yun was still gathering materials.

To them, Ting Yun's abilities were undoubtedly inferior to Wang Ye's.

Otherwise, how could Wang Ye set up a formation while Ting Yun couldn't?

Why did Ting Yun still need to gather materials himself?

For a moment, the other young magicians all turned their eyes to Qiu Te, excitedly saying, "Qiu Te, let me place a bet too. I bet on Wang Ye!"

"Right, I also bet on Wang Ye. Since Grand Tutor Zhou praised Wang Ye, it means he surely possesses the skill. We must trust Grand Tutor Zhou."

"Making money or not doesn't matter; fundamentally, we need to express our trust in Grand Tutor Zhou's judgment."

Afterwards, Qiu Te watched as these people, claiming not to care about making money, stared at him with greedy eyes like devils approaching.

Qiu Te was momentarily bewildered.

In the past, Qiu Te had never done such a thing and was extremely unfamiliar with it.

Now, faced with this situation, Qiu Te didn't know how to proceed.

While Qiu Te was in a daze, Han Hong walked over with a smile, glanced at the young magicians, then the next second yanked Qiu Te's ear, scolding him harshly:

"You rascal, what are you trying to do? You're learning the wrong things here, aren't you?"

"Haven't I told you long ago, no betting, do not gamble! Now, return all the Spirit Stones you took from them immediately, no gambling!"

Though Han Hong pinched his ear without much force, Qiu Te pretended to gasp in pain.

He wasn't foolish.

He knew Han Hong's intentions.

"Master, I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong."

Qiu Te spoke with some grievance. However, since both he and Han Hong didn't often engage in such activities, their acting lacked finesse.

Fortunately, Qiu Te was quick to refund, handing back the money he took from those few people and then promptly left for the seating area.

Shi Heng watched the entire scene unfold.

For a while.

Shi Heng sighed gently.

The world is in decline; people's hearts have changed.

Even Han Hong and Qiu Te, who could barely be considered honest, have learned to act now.

When Han Hong and Qiu Te returned to their original seats, they exchanged a glance, and their composure cracked momentarily.

"Master, we didn't earn any money."

Qiu Te said to Han Hong with some self-reproach.

This was a rare experience for Qiu Te, yet unexpectedly, it ended before it began.

"It's okay."

Han Hong transmitted to Qiu Te: "To blame, we only have ourselves for not planning thoroughly from the start."

"If we had planned from the beginning, we wouldn't have left them any time to react."

"Not really." Qiu Te glanced at Wang Ye in the celestial screen: "Wang Ye's performance in feng shui is too solid, and I somehow feel that although it's been a short time, Wang Ye's knowledge of feng shui has improved since last time."

Qiu Te's words made Han Hong scrutinize Wang Ye carefully.

He involuntarily took a deep breath.

"Indeed."

For a moment, Han Hong and Qiu Te's expressions grew complex.

On one hand, they had always considered themselves prodigies in feng shui, but encountering Wang Ye with his innate talent in this field made them feel their own talent was insignificant.

On the other hand, becoming acquaintances with Wang Ye, considering his talent in feng shui, meant that he would inevitably progress swiftly in the future.

When that time comes, tagging along with Wang Ye might allow them to have a share of the spoils.

...

In the virtual world.

Ting Yun glanced over at Wang Ye.

Moments ago, Ting Yun had scoffed at Wang Ye, but upon seeing Wang Ye successfully research the formation, his gaze darted, and he nearly stumbled and fell.

Looking at Wang Ye, his eyes were filled with incredible surprise.

How did Wang Ye achieve this?
