The longer Qin Shujian studied the formation before him, the brighter his eyes grew.
Using his abilities as a Forging Grandmaster, he had refined Liangshan City itself into an enormous Spirit Weapon.
At the same time, however...
He had also laid an enormous formation around it.
That formation was powerful, certainly.
But he had created it through brute force, using his abilities as a top-tier Forging Grandmaster to inscribe runes directly into the void and arrange them into a formation.
Such a method...

Brought out two hundred, even three hundred percent.
This—
Was the difference between a Forge Master and an Array Master.
"Although Array Masters abandoned the methods of Rune Forging, they carved out a new path in arranging runes into formations, pursuing it to the very pinnacle.

Because...
Qin Shujian did not intend to break the formation with blood. Instead, he wanted to pit himself against the Formation Grandmaster who had laid it, to see whether his skills
