A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4094

“Master has been practicing here, and I have been secretly learning for hundreds of years. Fortunately, Master is kind-hearted. He knew that I was secretly learning, and not only did he not blame me, but he also accepted me as his disciple. Otherwise, I would not be able to transform into a human. At most, I would be a rat demon, always fearing when I might be beaten to death.

Since Master has handed you over to me, you must study hard and not think about being lazy. When you can break the formations around you, you can leave!” the middle-aged man said to Jared.

“I understand!” Jared replied, knowing he couldn’t escape. He decided to focus on studying the art of divine patterns earnestly.

Jared sat cross-legged as the middle-aged man began to teach him how to carve the ancient divine patterns. Listening intently to his senior’s instructions, Jared soon discovered that the ancient divine patterns differed significantly from ordinary array patterns.

“The unique aspect of the divine pattern,” the middle-aged man explained, “is that it can be carved and laid out in a large formation without relying on the cultivator’s spiritual power. Ordinary people who understand the art of divine patterns can also carve them. The divine pattern does not require spiritual power as a medium to activate it; what is needed is one’s own soul. I will teach you how to carve the divine pattern now. You must control your consciousness and never use spiritual power. You need to put all your consciousness into the divine pattern, imagine that you are part of it, and the entire formation is also part of your body. Don’t think of these divine patterns as a weapon to defend against the enemy; you have to see them as part of yourself.”

Jared listened carefully and repeated the middle-aged man’s words in his mind several times to ensure he understood.

The middle-aged man then waved his hand, and a yellow cloth, one foot long and several feet wide, appeared before Jared. “There are divine patterns on this cloth. Practice according to the instructions.”

After relaxing for a moment, Jared collapsed. At that point, he didn’t care about the dilapidated state of the thatched house. Lying quietly, he gazed through the translucent roof at what he thought were stars.

However, Jared soon realized that the lights outside the roof were not stars but pairs of eyes. These eyes turned red and floated in the air, without any visible bodies, staring at Jared through the gaps.

Alarmed, Jared quickly got up and looked carefully, trying to discern what these eyes were.
