Hearing Han Lang's words, Dan Nan was momentarily at a loss for how to retort.
Indeed, the only ones remaining within the borders of the White Elephant Nation were the seven of them.
Even though he and Liu Xiaoxiao had little confidence in Ma Long, what else could they do now?
However, what he didn't know was that.
When Han Lang first began guiding Ma Long on the path of cultivation, among Han Kang and Ma Long, only Ma Long could fully comprehend the Mortal Cultivation Technique and successfully perceive the world.
Judging solely by appearance, how could Ma Long be as intelligent as Han Kang, an elite businessman?
But the problem was, when it came to cultivation, his comprehension was superior to Han Kang's.
This was precisely the fundamental reason why Han Lang had such great confidence in Ma Long.
Of course, for Dan Nan, there was indeed no other option at the moment.
So, he could only agree.
"Alright! Then we'll give it a try! I'll go teach the formation to the other four first, and then teach it to you last."
After speaking, he prepared to turn away.
But at that very moment, he seemed to recall something and turned back to look at Han Lang, asking.
"That's not right! It's still not going to work!"
"Why?"
Liu Xiaoxiao and Han Lang asked in unison.
"Even if Ma Long can complete the formation, what about you? You still have to engage Dr. Sim in combat, where will you find the time to cultivate?"
Hearing this question, Liu Xiaoxiao also frowned.
"How about we both try to hold off Dr. Sim for a while?"
Liu Xiaoxiao's suggestion was immediately rejected by Dan Nan.
"How can that be? With our combined strength now, do you think we can even budge a Nascent Soul stage esper? At most, ten rounds, and we'll be defeated. By then, before the formation is complete, we'll be dead!"
"Then..."
Just as Liu Xiaoxiao was about to say something more, Han Lang suddenly interrupted.
"That's enough. You don't need to worry about this. The Shennong Imperial Needle Technique I cultivate allows my divine sense to be split into nine strands. Each strand can possess independent abilities. So, when the time comes, I only need to withdraw one needle, and Deputy Commander Dan can fill its position. This way, I can continue to engage Dr. Sim while also cultivating the Seven Absolutes Nine Li Formation!"
Upon hearing this, Dan Nan and Liu Xiaoxiao looked at Han Lang in stunned silence as if they had just realized something.
"Monster! You truly are a monster!"
After a playful scolding, Dan Nan immediately flew off, gathering Tang Geng and the others from the periphery.
After briefly explaining the plan devised by the three, Tang Geng and the others all readily agreed.
Only Tang Qin raised the same question as Liu Xiaoxiao.
"Deputy Commander Dan, I think we might be fine, but Ma Long, are you sure he can complete it in such a short time?"
Dan Nan still looked at Ma Long with suspicion.
Ma Long naturally felt indignant. He immediately retorted unhappily.
"Hey, hey, Tang Qin. Who are you looking down on? What's wrong with me, Ma Long? Isn't it just a formation? Perhaps I'll comprehend it even faster than you!"
Hearing this, Tang Geng and the others couldn't help but chuckle.
It seemed they all considered Ma Long's statement a joke.
Even Dan Nan couldn't help but smile faintly.
"It's alright. Regardless of the outcome, we just need to try. Moreover, Han Lang has great confidence in Ma Long. We are all comrades, and we should trust each other!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
Of course, their laughter wasn't mocking, but rather a form of playful banter that arose from knowing each other better after spending so much time together.
Therefore, Ma Long didn't pay much attention to their laughter and instead agreed with Dan Nan's latter statement.
"See, see! It's my little sir who understands me best. Just watch later, when I comprehend the formation faster than all of you, you'll know how formidable I am!"
Tang Geng and the others chuckled again and replied.
"Alright! Then we'll wait and see!"
Without further ado, Dan Nan immediately began transmitting the key points of the formation to everyone.
As everyone entered meditation to begin their comprehension, Dan Nan did not hesitate to return to Han Lang's side and, using the same method, transmitted the formation into Han Lang's memory.
"You withdraw one golden needle now and begin comprehending the formation. I will take over the vacant spot from Dr. Sim. Xiaoxiao, you also hurry up and comprehend, and it would be best if you finish quickly to provide us with support!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao immediately agreed.
"Alright!"
Then, she quickly entered meditation.
As everyone began to comprehend the Seven Absolutes Nine Li Formation, the entire battlefield instantly fell silent.
Apart from the sounds of Dan Nan cooperating with Han Lang to continue fighting Dr. Sim, almost no other sound could be heard.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Soon, everyone had completed their comprehension.
The first thing everyone did upon opening their eyes was to look at Ma Long.
They had expected Ma Long to still be immersed in meditation and comprehension at this point.
However, to their surprise, when everyone's gaze fell upon him, he was also staring at them with wide eyes.
"What are you looking at me for? I woke up long ago! I've been watching you all for a long time. Moreover, I can clearly tell you the order in which everyone woke up. Behind me is little sir, then Political Commissar Liu, Zhao Wu, Tang Geng, and finally you, Tang Qin!"
Tang Qin dared not believe Ma Long's words and immediately retorted.
"Do you think I'll believe you? I'm the last one? Me, the intelligent and clever fairy that I am?"
However, before Ma Long could retort, Dan Nan, who had been fighting alongside Han Lang, responded at the opportune moment.
"He's telling the truth. I've been observing you all. It's true that Ma Long was the fastest, followed by Han Lang. And they were at least three minutes faster than you. All of you took about ten minutes, while they only took about seven minutes!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.
If Han Lang was faster than everyone else, they could still accept it.
After all, his strength was clearly evident.
But Ma Long was clearly the weakest in the entire team.
Why him?
But the problem was, Dan Nan seemed to have no reason to deceive them about this matter!
Therefore, Tang Qin looked at Ma Long with shock, as if he were a monster, and even as if she had discovered something incredibly significant, examining Ma Long from head to toe, as if wanting to thoroughly understand him.
"Tell us, Ma Long. How exactly did you do it?"
Ma Long snorted coldly.
"Hmph! I told you long ago that I'm very capable. It's just that you didn't believe me. Now, aren't you being proven wrong?"
Tang Qin and Tang Geng, along with the other two, nodded.
"Indeed! We've been proven wrong, slap, slap. Hurry up and share with us how you did it?"
At this moment, Ma Long's vanity was greatly satisfied.
He puffed out his chest proudly and declared.
"This kind of formation isn't difficult at all! Just use the Heavenly Derivation Method to go back and forth a couple of times, and all the details will be laid bare!"
