Chapter 1284

Chapter 1284 The Future Formation Master Jonathan looked at the hillside beyond the low wall with a strange expression on his face.

On the hillside, about thirty to forty meters away, the flying formation plate had already sunk into the soil.

The rest of Joshua’s group also wore expressions of shock.

Just moments ago, they had witnessed Hayden’s depiction of the arcane array. Although it had no apparent effect on spiritual destruction, the moment the bullets touched the defense array, it exploded.

The sensation was akin to a giant slap landing on the formation plate, sending it flying.

“Jonathan, did you give him spiritual destruction formation markings or some other formation markings?”

Joshua instinctively handed the formation markings in his hand to Jonathan.

After examining them repeatedly, it was confirmed that they were indeed the simplest spiritual destruction formation markings.

“Even if these formation markings are successfully engraved, they should only have the power to tear apart spiritual destruction. But what you’ve drawn seems to have exploded,” Joshua said, furrowing his brow and looking at Hayden. “How did you do this?”

The others also stared at Hayden with strange expressions.

Even Hayden himself was somewhat bewildered.

“I just followed the instructions on how to draw the formation markings. I didn’t make any changes…”

Hayden said. Recalling the terrible scribbles he had done, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

“I… I don’t know why it turned out like this.”

As he spoke, a hand appeared before Hayden. The fingers were holding onto a bullet.

It was Jonathan.

“I believe you just followed the instructions,” Jonathan replied. “All right, can you draw another one? It’s no problem, right?”

Hayden looked at the bullet in Jonathan’s hand, a bit puzzled, and then took it.

Sitting on a wooden stool, he flipped his right hand, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand. He then slowly shrank the dagger until it resembled a knife. This was Hayden’s carving tool.

Hayden was about to start carving, but then he looked up at the others.

“Hey, guys, can you not watch this time? I’m nervous.”

Jonathan, Joshua, and the others were not unreasonable people. They understood that the process of carving a formation required intense concentration. Without much hesitation, they dispersed to different corners.

After half an hour of anxious waiting, Hayden stood up again.

However, before he could say anything, Jonathan snatched the carved bullet from his hand.

It turned out to be another bullet with attached formation markings.

Jonathan’s heart was now in turmoil as he looked at the crooked and distorted markings on the bullet.

What on earth was going on with this guy?

Every one of us, including Joshua, has much stronger talent and understanding than Hayden. But when we try to carve formations, we fail one after another. However, this guy, Hayden, is carving something that looks completely different, yet he manages to achieve the required spiritual balance for the formation and maintain it steadily. This is just unbelievable.

If the first time was luck, the consecutive two successes definitely indicated something else.

Kathleen said urgently, “Hayden, have you ever had any prior experience with formation carving?”

“You better tell the truth!” she added.

Hayden shook his head slightly. “No, this is my first time carving a formation…”

As soon as Hayden finished speaking, Kathleen reached out and grabbed his arm.

Not only Kathleen but Stellario and Joshua also moved simultaneously, instinctively reaching for Hayden.

Ding, ding, ding…

Almost simultaneously, three bells chimed.

The hands of the three individuals collided with the suddenly appearing golden bell.

Surprisingly, it was Jonathan standing next to Hayden who summoned the protective shield.

Hayden, who had been seemingly idle with a sniper rifle, was now revealing his true talents.

He was one of those individuals who possessed that peculiar sensation mentioned by formation masters.

Every time they carved formation markings, they relied on that unique feeling to ensure the highest success rate for the formation.

And now, Hayden, despite the distorted appearance of the formations he had carved twice, had successfully made them operational.

Everyone understood that with practice, Hayden could undoubtedly carve numerous grand formations.

The future was uncertain, but Hayden had the potential to become a formation master, and that was certain.

“Hayden, I know you don’t have a girlfriend yet,” Kathleen said, wearing a silk nightgown that left her figure unmistakably on display. Coupled with her seductive expression, it made Hayden swallow hard.

“As long as you agree to serve our family, the Henderson family, I’ll marry you and have a wedding when we’re out of here. How does that sound?”

Jonathan smacked Hayden on the head. “Kid, I advise you not to get ahead of yourself. Don’t forget, your dad is still at our Asura’s Office.”

Hayden’s spirit was shaken by these words, and he looked at Jonathan with a hint of defiance in his eyes.

At that moment, outside the protective shield, Joshua laughed and spoke up. “Hayden, don’t forget that your family originally had their hopes pinned on me. We’ve been on this journey together, running from the pursuit of the eight respectable families… “Running together with you, being chased every day—”

Before Joshua could finish, Jonathan from inside the shield interrupted him.

“I can’t believe you have the nerve to say that.” Jonathan looked at Joshua with disdain and then patted Hayden on the back. “Hayden, don’t forget, your grandpa is also with our Asura’s Office.”

“D*mn it…”

Hayden clenched his teeth and glared at Jonathan, almost wishing he could skin him on the spot.

The Zink family had been pursued by the Osborne family and was saved by Asura’s Office. Hayden had a deep sense of gratitude toward Asura’s Office, but he now felt extremely frustrated with Jonathan’s threats.

“Hayden, why associate with someone who threatens you like this? Join our family, and I promise to give you the best of my sisters…”

“Then implant him with the deadliest parasite to control him and make him your tool?” Jonathan retorted coldly as he looked at Stellario.

Jonathan withdrew the protective shield, positioning himself between Hayden and the others.

“Asura’s Office conducts itself differently from the noble families. We’ve always been willing to go to great lengths for our friends. Just like now, the entire Zink family, hundreds of people, are under our protection at Asura’s Office. Have I ever used them to pressure a friend? No. I haven’t even mentioned the lives of those hundreds of people. Threatening a friend with their lives is not my way.”

“But…” Jonathan furrowed his brow and looked at Hayden. “Asura’s Office is currently under Hades’s management.”
