Zhou Huai looked at the skill description and understood.

A Formation Master.

This was a highly sought-after profession.

Its importance, in some aspects, even surpassed that of alchemists and blacksmiths.

From enchanting weapons to constructing the defense System of an entire city, the participation of a Formation Master was indispensable.

Not to mention the countless teleportation Formations scattered all over the world.

Even the core of the Imperial Capital Academy's miraculous Myriad Manifestations Trial Tower was constructed from countless complex instance Formations.

It could be said that a top-tier Formation Master's strategic value was immeasurable.

This was simply an unresolvable killing move that was impossible to guard against!

【System Notification: Please name your SS-Rank Clone.】

The cold notification sound pulled Zhou Huai back from his thoughts.

"What should I name him?"

It was that delightful yet troublesome part again.

Countless names flashed through Zhou Huai's mind.

Finally, a figure settled in his heart.

During the Three Kingdoms period, that legendary figure who used troops like a god and possessed unparalleled strategies.

He deduced military tactics from the I Ching's Eight Trigrams, creating the "Eight Trigram Formation" and achieving eternal fame.

The Sage of Poetry, Du Fu, once praised him in a poem: "His achievements covered the Three Kingdoms, his fame came from the Eight Trigram Formation."

The river's Formation diagrams are still arrayed, and Shu's prime minister's legacy shines brightly.

"Let's call him... Zhuge Kongming."

A smile played on Zhou Huai's lips.

【System Notification: Naming successful! Clone 'Zhuge Kongming' created.】

【System Notification: Please sculpt the appearance for Clone 'Zhuge Kongming'.】

Since he had given him this name, his appearance naturally had to resemble that famous prime minister of antiquity.

In Zhou Huai's mind, the classic image portrayed by Teacher Tang Guoqiang in his previous life appeared.

He used this as a blueprint and began to meticulously sculpt a younger version of the Sleeping Dragon.

Two hours later.

In Zhou Huai's bedroom, a white light flashed.

A figure quietly appeared.

The newcomer was tall and slender, with a face like polished jade and eyes like bright stars.

His sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, his nose bridge was high, and his deep, bright eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

The two perfectly trimmed mustaches on his lip not only didn't make him seem old but added a touch of scholarly elegance and composure.

He wore a simple linen robe, yet it couldn't hide his calm demeanor of strategizing from afar and winning battles a thousand miles away.

Zhou Huai looked at the figure before him, who seemed to have stepped out of a TV drama, and nodded in satisfaction.

It was similar.

Too similar.

It was just... still missing something.

Missing a feather fan and a long robe.

This problem was not difficult to solve.

With a thought, Zhou Huai's consciousness instantly sank into Zhuge Kongming's body.

He moved his limbs, feeling this brand new body.

There was no Yasuo's sharpness, no Xiang Yu's dominance, nor Gandalf's world-destroying magic.

But within this body, there was a unique rhythm that communicated with heaven and earth.

Zhou Huai pushed open the door and walked downstairs.

Jasmine was sitting at her desk, handling the Eternal Night Guild's recent affairs.

Ever since the Eternal Night Guild was founded, she had basically been responsible for all its matters, big and small.

Though busy, she had also grown very quickly.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up.

When she saw the unfamiliar man standing at the door, no surprise or vigilance appeared on her face.

She immediately stood up, bowed slightly, and spoke respectfully.

"Greetings, Master."

Zhou Huai smiled.

Signing a contract with a demon slave was convenient.

No matter which face he wore, they could instantly recognize his identity through the link deep within their Souls, without any unnecessary explanation.

"Go do a few things."

Zhou Huai, controlling Kongming, walked to the desk, his voice gentle.

Jasmine immediately brought paper and pen, standing bowed at his side, ready to record.

Zhou Huai picked up the pen but didn't speak; instead, he quickly sketched on the white paper.

His brushwork flowed smoothly, and in just a moment, an elegant white robe with a flowing design appeared vividly on the paper.

Immediately after, he drew an exquisitely crafted feather fan.

"According to this design, find the best tailor and craftsman and have them made as soon as possible."

Zhou Huai pushed the drawing paper towards Jasmine.

"Yes, Master."

Jasmine took it and carefully put it away.

"Also," Zhou Huai's voice paused, "prepare a set of top-tier Formation Master carving knives, a box of ink sticks ground from 'Void Gazer Stone,' and a stack of talisman paper woven from 'Star-Patterned ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) Silk.'"

"Finally, go to the underground trading market and acquire as many high-Rank Materials containing spatial elements as possible. The higher the quality, the better, and the quantity is unlimited."

A series of instructions were given.

Jasmine showed no hesitation or questions, simply committing each item firmly to memory.

"This subordinate understands. I will go now."

She bowed again, then turned and left the office with swift efficiency.

Zhou Huai watched her retreating figure, thoughts turning in his mind.

Now that he had a Formation Master.

The most urgent task, naturally, was to first establish a teleportation gate at the Eternal Night Guild headquarters that could directly connect to the Abyss of Mist Secret Realm.

This way, Yasuo, Xiang Yu, and the others could return at any time to rest and resupply.

More importantly.

Once the teleportation gate was built, other members of the Eternal Night Guild could also enter that vast Secret Realm for training.

The exotic beasts there were of high Rank, numerous, and resources were extremely abundant.

It was definitely a treasure trove that could rapidly improve the overall strength of the Eternal Night Guild in a short period.

Jasmine's efficiency was extremely high.

In just half a day, she returned to the Eternal Night Guild with everything Zhou Huai needed.

The custom-made white robe was rushed by the most famous tailor in Donghai City, using the finest cloud brocade.

Worn by Zhuge Kongming, it added a touch of ethereal Immortal Qi.

The feather fan was woven from dozens of rare Snow Feather Eagle tail feathers, and its frame was polished from thousand-year-old warm jade. Held in hand, it felt cool and could calm the mind and spirit.

Zhou Huai, controlling Kongming, held the feather fan and gently waved it.

Mm.

Now, the feeling was just right.
