Yao Han Su's thoughts were actually quite simple; as long as Jie Su performed well enough, that would be sufficient. This way, regardless of how the situation changed in the future, he would have absolute confidence.
At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at some people's extraordinary talent and unwavering determination. Their dedication to a goal, being willing to fight hard for it, was truly enviable.
The adaptable formation was his invention. From the moment he first grasped the key to it and successfully executed the adaptable formation, to perfecting this ability and passing it on to the direct descendants of the Su Clan, over a decade had passed.
He too, like Jie Su, had started out only able to use low-level formations, but now he had made significant progress.
Yet, he still remembered how long it took for him to reach the same level as Jie Su.
Five years!
Yao Han Su took five years to accomplish this.
Of course, everything about the adaptable formation had to be explored by him, while Jie Su had ready-made theories to study. But who could deny his talent and efforts?
Others also expressed their admiration; they had all learned the adaptable formation and progressed faster than Jie Su. However, they had their own powerful abilities as a foundation. Jie Su had previously not even cleared five thousand, yet now he had reached a similar level as them. The only difference was the time spent using the adaptable formation, making it a truly joyous matter for them to have someone like him on their side.
"Let’s go meet this little genius, who has received so much praise from us, and see what surprises he can bring us."
As they left the room and walked down the corridor, they encountered people they didn't want to see.
Yao Han Su's eyes moved as he saw the leaders of the other two factions, along with their elders and the top three heirs.
These twelve or thirteen people seemed to be casually chatting in the corridor, but everyone knew they were specifically waiting for the lord of the clan and others.
"Lord of the clan, I heard that you are going to meet the new first of the Star Eye Clan today. We are all very interested in him and would like to see what kind of person can make our little genius, Jie Su, willingly lower his strength to help. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"
At this moment, everyone, including Yao Han Su, shared the same thought: Would you still go if we minded?
It was impossible now. While the news about these people arrived so accurately and promptly, Yao Han Su had no choice but to agree. There were only Cheng Su and Huo Zhi beside him among the ten elders of the Su Clan, while the other two factions had eight. Plus, there was Ke Lan Su, the first heir who he had to admit might be even more talented than Jie Su. In terms of strength, they certainly had an absolute advantage. In such trivial matters, he couldn't just throw his weight around as the lord of the clan.
"Alright, then go ahead," Yao Han Su replied straightforwardly, leading the way forward. Once the elders passed by, Ke Lan Su, who had been standing aside, smiled and said to Jie Su, "Little brother, it’s been a while since we last met. How’s your progress with the adaptable formation?"
What seemed like simple small talk caught everyone's attention. The elders in front listened intently as they walked; they were all very concerned about Jie Su's progress.
Jie Su was momentarily taken aback; he hadn’t expected this brother from the clan to be so direct. After hesitating for a moment, he honestly replied, "I just managed to refine a low-level intermediate formation."
Ke Lan Su's expression changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted and exclaimed, "That's really impressive! I'm not as good as you."
One elder following Yao Han Su, who was now the leader of Ke Lan Su's faction, narrowed his eyes upon hearing the conversation between the two.
He knew that Ke Lan Su wasn't telling the truth; he could also use intermediate formations when activating the adaptable formation, so Jie Su was at a comparable level.
