Monsters

Azure Sky Continent, Fang Empire, Shen Zhou Kingdom, Xiao City.

In one of it's amusement parks,

A young couple aging from 10 to 11 years old, were seen in one of the booths.

This booth has a frowning middle age man, who was looking at the couple.

Seeing the destroyed, Yes. Seeing the Destroyed targets in his booth.

The middle age man hurriedly gave them the reward. A big plump teddy bear, with it's soft and comfortable fluffy skin.

The red haired girl, excitedly received it, while the black haired boy beside him was puffing his chest out, smiling proudly.

The middle age man thought 'T-these monsters!'

Earlier, when he saw the young couples walking along the road, he enticed him with his 'business' saying.

"For 1 gold coin, If you hit and knocked all 10 targets in the stall, you will receive this big cute teddy bear!" showcasing his honest and sincere smile, the black haired boy who was hesitant, was dragged by the red haired girl into participation.

Of course the targets were all glued to the stall, so no matter how accurate his customers hit the targets, they would all stay the same.

And of course for the price of 1 gold coin, many would hesitate. Because with a gold coin, he or she could buy 10 big and cute teddy bears!

Alas, this time, such things failed.

With the big teddy bear in one hand, and with Ye Shie's hand on the left, Xiao Rou 'dragged' Ye Shie deeper into the amusement park.

And that day became the nightmare for all the booth owners within the amusement park.

A week later,

In the City Lord's Manor, Garden

'Oh! It worked!' Ye Shie who was meditating woke up from his 'enlightenment'.

Seeing 8 Floating Fire Runes above him, Ye Shie smiled in contentment.

'Hehe~ With this I'm now considered a Rank 4 Rune Formation Master.'

With a wave of his hand, the 8 solid-like Scarlet Runes disappeared.

These 8 Runes were not your average normal rune. Instead they are 512 Runes stacked densely into into 8 pieces. Not only causing it's appearance to be more solid, but also it's destructive power.

If one of it were to be released, then half of the Manor would blow up into bits.

Then Ye Shie looked at the also meditating Xiao Rou in the distance then he smiled. Above her were 16 hovering green runes.

Noticing Ye Shie's gaze, Xiao Rou opened her eyes and said excitedly "Look! Shie! I succeeded! Hahahaha! I'm the best right?" With that beautiful and cheerful smile on her face, Xiao Rou proudly boasted.

Ye Shie sighed, indifferently saying "Yeah~ Yeah~ You're the best"

"Hmph! Not everyone is like you! Tsh!" With that she resumed her meditation.

After a week of going into the Formations Guild Library, Ye Shie finally finished reading all the books therein.

Ranging from the 1st floor towards the 3rd. With his breakthrough, he can now re assessed his badge, and begin reading the books on the 4th. This was one step of his goals in reading all the books within the library.

Of course there were too many books in the library to be read in just a weeks time. But somehow, Ye Shie only needed to touch the book, and miraculously, after closing his eyes and with his forehead shining a bit, he would understand the context within.

Shortly after, he began a touch and read spree. With only a day, one-fourth of the books in the 1st floor were read by him.

The only downside was that every time he exited the library, his eyes were bloodshot and his face haggard, with his mind and soul exhausted.

Every single time, he exited the library most people in the lobby would look at him weirdly thinking 'What did he do inside to cause such exhaustion?!' with their imagination wild and their head tilted, this remained a mystery.

At the same time as Ye Shie broke through, The Guild Master Zhan Se of the Formation Guild along with Elder Shen Sao Bai and Elder Zhao Xi went towards the City Lord's Manor.

Surprised by this sudden visit City Lord Bai, hurriedly received them in politeness, with the dishes served in the most extravagant and lascivious manner.

Wondering why they came, City Lord Bai inquired.

Guild Master Zhan Se inquired of Ye Shie, asking his where abouts and history.

Hearing the word Ye Shie from them, City Lord Bai's frowned.

Seeing his reaction, The Guild Master hurriedly said "We have no ill intentions, it's just that..."

With that, Guild Master Se told City Lord Bai of the events within the Examination Room.

The further the story went on, the more dumbfounded City Lord Bai's face became.

One word came into his mind explosively 'T-Thought Rune Control!'

A Thought Rune Control, is a skill in which only a Rank 8 Rune Formation Masters Acquire. This skill allows them to Form runes, into several different shapes and sizes according to their will.

With this skill, a Rune Formation Masters combat prowess would increase exponentially.

City Lord Bai woke up from his stupor when he heard the next word from Guild Master Se.

"City Lord Bai, I would like to formally accept Ye Shie as my apprentice, Is he here?"

"E-eh?" was the only word that came out from City Lord Bai.

It was understandable for this to happen.

When a 10 year old kid, has the ability of a Rank 3 Rune Formation Master with a Thought Rune Control Skill, his potential in the Formation Masters world would be limitless.

Although Guild Master Se was only a Rank 2 Rune Formation Master, don't forget that he is still a genuine Rank 5 Formation Master.

A person with such abilities would be extremely influential and wealthy...very wealthy.

Being an apprentice to such person would bring tremendous benefits.

But alas, what they didn't know was that.

For Ye Shie, being a Rune Formation Master was only a hobby.
