Skills Trial On the third day, formation assessment.
Qin Tiexin When we arrived at the school ground, it was already dawn and there were fewer people in the stands than the previous two days.
Formation formation is not as popular as alchemy, but there are still many people who are interested. Several elders from the formation sects are sitting in the front row, surrounded by disciples, and it seems that they are here to pick people.
Qin Tiexin found a position near the front and stood there.
Today, in addition to watching the Liu Suifeng game, he also wanted to know more about the formation.
Now he can practice Supreme-Grade Law Artifact, and if he goes up further, he can practice Spirit Artifact.
In addition to different materials, another big difference between Spirit Artifact and Law Artifact is that Spirit Artifact requires a complete formation to integrate all functions.
Putting several Spirit Rune together cannot make Spirit Artifact, it must be a formation.
When many weapon refiners reach this stage, they have to go back and make up for their formation skills, and he is no exception.
The game begins.
Dozens of contestants were scattered in the center of the school field, each marking an area.
Star Selection Bureau provides unified materials, including array flags, Spirit Stone, and array materials. You can use your own array plates.
The rule is to set up a new formation within a limited time.
The formation Jade Slip came from the Royal Warehouse, and almost everyone present had never come into contact with it in advance. The judges scored based on the effectiveness, stability, and coverage of the formation.
Qin Tiexin sets his sights on Liu Suifeng.
The cultivation level of Liu Suifeng is Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Among this group of contestants, the cultivation level is not high, or even relatively low. There are several formation sect disciples of Foundation Establishment Peak Stage, who put on their posture as soon as they came on the stage, with the formation disks in their hands glowing with aura, and their movements filled with arrogance.
Liu Suifeng was not in a hurry. He first picked up Jade Slip and looked at it, then put it down and walked around the venue.
After walking to a few places, he squatted down and tapped his finger on the ground, as if he was measuring something. Qin Tiexin couldn't understand it, he just felt that when his finger fell, the loose soil on the ground would jump slightly.
After clicking, Liu Suifeng began to set up the formation.
There was no checking, no trial and error, and there was not even much measurement of the position of the formation base.
He directly took out his formation disk and pressed it on the ground. Several formation disks fell in different directions, Spirit Stone was embedded, and the formation pattern automatically extended.
His movements were too fast, and it didn't look like he was setting up an unfamiliar formation.
Other contestants were still looking down at Jade Slip. Some were squatting on the edge of the field to draw sketches, and some were inserting and unplugging the formation flags over and over again, as if looking for the best position. The first formation pattern of Liu Suifeng was already connected.
In less than a stick of incense, a complete formation was erected.
The array patterns swam out from the array disk like living creatures, stretching, intertwining, and closing on the ground. The light flowed along the lines, getting brighter and brighter.
By the time other contestants started to activate their formations, Liu Suifeng's formation was already in operation.
Qin Tiexin stood in the stands and could see clearly.
Liu Suifeng's speed is at least twice as fast as the second place. Moreover, the formation runs smoothly without any sluggishness.
The light curtain rose, covering the area he had designated. The edges were clean and the range was sufficient.
The audience was in an uproar.
"Who is that kid? So fast?"
"Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, how can it be more efficient than Foundation Establishment Peak Stage?"
"The formation disk in his hand is not simple. His formation skills are also not low."
Liu Suifeng stood in the center of his formation, holding the last formation plate in his hand. He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the stands. He saw Qin Tiexin and the others and grinned.
After the formation was deployed, it covered a radius of more than ten feet.
The formation patterns wander on the ground, the light flows, and they are integrated. Each formation pattern is not isolated. They are connected to each other and support each other, like the roots of a tree, growing from the main trunk and feeding back to the main trunk.
Qin Tiexin suddenly figured it out.
The formation is essentially different from Spirit Rune Array.
Spirit Rune Array is a combination of several Spirit Rune with different effects. Sharpness, Armor Piercing, Bleeding, each has its own business, and are connected to each other by carvings. No matter how well they are carved, they are only close to each other, and they are still individuals in their bones.
Formation is to first have a complete overall effect, and then expand this effect to every detail.
Each formation pattern is part of the whole, and it affects the whole body. If one pattern is broken, other patterns will redistribute power, and the formation will not collapse immediately.
One is barely put together, the other is completely integrated.
Qin Tiexin thinks of the five lines Spirit Rune he carved on Star Mark Saber.
Those five lines of Spirit Rune are each carved extremely well and the combination is reasonable. But in the final analysis, they are still five things, not the same thing. If they can be truly integrated into a whole, the sword can reach another level.
There is no need to rush now, but the direction is clear. In the future, when refining Spirit Artifact, we must borrow from the idea of formation.
On the field, Liu Suifeng began to adjust several nodes of the formation. He walked very slowly, tapping the formation disk with his finger from time to time, and the formation was fine-tuned. The light curtain flowed more smoothly, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi within the coverage area was also steadily increasing.
The formations of other contestants were also completed one after another.
Dozens of formations lit up in the school grounds, with different colors, but compared with the one at Liu Suifeng, they all looked stiff.
Some array patterns are uneven in thickness, some light curtains flicker on and off, and some only last for a moment before starting to shake.
An hour later, the assessment ended.
The results were announced on the spot.
Liu Suifeng No surprise.
The faces of several formation sect disciples in the audience were not good-looking. Their cultivation level was higher and their backgrounds were no worse than Liu Suifeng's Thousand Mechanisms Array Sect. But the reality gap severely slapped them in the face.
As for formations, fast is fast, good is good, and it doesn't matter if you don't like it.
Liu Suifeng came off the court and felt windy when he walked.
He walked straight to a few people and raised his chin. "Did you see that? First, it's a matter of course."
Lin Chuan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I know you have the ability."
Du Heng patted Liu Suifeng on the shoulder. "If you can't win first place in this kind of competition, I will have to laugh at you for a year."
"You go ahead." Liu Suifeng rolled his eyes at him, "You can't even tell the difference between the formation disk and the formation flag."
"I can't tell what's wrong? I don't rely on this for a living." Du Heng didn't take it seriously.
The two started bickering again. Xu Ying laughed on the sidelines, but Lin Chuan did not dissuade them.
Liu Suifeng had enough fighting, and turned to look at Qin Tiexin: "Senior Brother Ming, it will be your turn tomorrow. Come on."
Xu Ying also said, "Senior Brother Ming must be fine."
Lin Chuan nodded. "We will all come to help you tomorrow."
Qin Tiexin said, "The poor monk tried his best."
Liu Suifeng was in a great mood and talked a lot more than usual. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, I'll treat you tonight and have a good meal. I got first place, so I should celebrate."
Lin Chuan stopped him. "Wait until Arena Trial is over before eating. Senior Brother Ming will have a game tomorrow, let him have a good rest tonight."
Liu Suifeng thought about it and thought it made sense. He stopped, still a little unwilling to accept it. "Okay, remember it first. When Arena Trial is finished, this meal will not go away. I will find a good restaurant and order the best spiritual meal."
"I have written this down." Du Heng said, "Don't feel bad Spirit Stone then."
"Am I that kind of person?" Liu Suifeng frowned.
A few people chatted for a few more words and then dispersed.
Qin Tiexin walked towards the small courtyard. On the way, his mind was still thinking about the formation.
