Beihai Wu's words made Xiao Tian pause in his tracks.
Xiao Tian didn't even turn his head, and laughed, "Old sir, you misheard. Continue constructing the Spirit Gathering Formation and concentrate."
"What a joke! I'm not senile yet, City Lord Xiao! Let's be frank! In terms of combat strength, I admire your victory over the Golden-Winged Great Peng King; I am ashamed of my inferiority in that respect! But regarding your City Lord Xiao of Domain techniques, since you say it's full of flaws, I'd like to hear your detailed explanation! How exactly are these flaws?"
Nangong Feiying glanced back and forth between Xiao Tian and Beihai Wu, and he suddenly felt a little expectant of Lord Xiao Tian making a move.
Xiao Tian turned around and walked towards Beihai Wu. Since the old man insisted on seeing the world, Xiao Tian would not stand on ceremony.
Nangong Feiying felt inexplicably excited; this lord was about to make his move!
"I wonder what expression the next Master Beihai will have? It's said that this Grandmaster has benefited greatly from constructing array Domain Domain..."
Xiao Tian arrived at point A8, a key location in Beihai Wu's Spirit Gathering Formation, where ten high-purity energy stones and two pieces of lightning-struck wood were placed.
Xiao Tian immediately discerned the details of the overall scale and structural distribution of Beihai Wu's Spirit Gathering Formation.
This is a relatively rare Spirit Gathering Formation that uses the five elements of spiritual energy to gather lightning, thereby improving the efficiency of spiritual energy conversion and enhancing the structural strength of the entire Spirit Gathering Formation. Furthermore, during thunderstorms, the power of this Spirit Gathering Formation is greatly amplified, increasing by at least three times.
The Spirit Gathering Formation array itself was of good quality, but Beihai Wu had many flaws in its construction. The biggest mistake was that he shouldn't have set up such a Spirit Gathering Formation Spirit Gathering Formation, one that resonated throughout the entire city.
If there are no thunderstorms, it's fine, but if there are thunderstorms, it will affect the whole system. The entire inner city's formation will be affected, which could lead to anything from going out of control and the formation crashing to collapse and causing an energy storm that could bombard the inner city.
When Beihai Wu saw Xiao Tian arrive at Area A8, he frowned and was secretly surprised that this kid really had some insight, actually seeing the key to his Spirit Gathering Formation at a glance.
"Replace the lightning-struck wood here with plain wood, even the most ordinary kind will do."
"What?" Upon hearing what Xiao Tian said, Beihai Wu flew into a rage, his hair standing on end, looking like a red-faced Guan Yu, extremely angry.
"Kid! What are you talking about!"
People around stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiao Tian, then occasionally at Beihai Wu.
" City Lord Xiao! Do you know what my Spirit Gathering Formation is? This is no ordinary Spirit Gathering Formation! It is the Thunder Essence Heaven and Earth Spirit Gathering Formation from the Jade Void Palace's secret manual! Its energy conversion efficiency is more than three times that of an ordinary Spirit Gathering Formation, and it can be increased three or four times in thunderstorms or even when affected by external lightning!" Beihai Wu roared angrily at Xiao Tian.
"As expected of our teacher!" The disciples looked at Beihai Wu with admiration.
"Please, sir, do not interrupt our progress!" a silver-armored warrior said coldly to Xiao Deva Path.
"You don't have to change it." Xiao Tian said calmly, looking at Beihai Wu, "Once the formation resonates and is fully formed, if your section collapses due to the thunderstorm, the responsibility for the enormous losses to Dragon City will lie with you."
Upon hearing this, Beihai Wu, who was furious and demanding an explanation from Xiao Tian, changed his expression drastically, as if he had been awakened from a dream.
Beihai Wu's disciples and assistants were all astonished to see Master Beihai use magic to move the lightning-struck wood from area A8.
"Ah, this! The teacher actually made a move!" The students' worldviews were completely shattered.
The supreme image of Beihai Wu in their hearts crumbled instantly.
" City Lord Xiao! You're right! I almost made a terrible mistake!" Beihai Wu was covered in cold sweat and was still in shock.
"That's enough, Grandmaster, you can continue."
" City Lord Xiao, please wait!" Beihai Wu abandoned his previous disdain and said solemnly, " City Lord Xiao, the Dao of the Domain is mysterious and unpredictable, with no end to learning. Those who master it will be the first to succeed. Please help me take a look, as this concerns the safety of countless citizens of Dragon City."
Xiao Tian burst into laughter inwardly, but outwardly nodded faintly and replied with a "okay."
In a short while, Nangong Feiying saw that Master Xiao pointed out as many as ten shortcomings in Master Beihai's Spirit Gathering Formation. Upon seeing the errors in understanding the details, Master Beihai suddenly realized them and was overjoyed as if he had found a treasure, hurriedly correcting them without any anger and continuing to ask for further guidance. Nangong Feiying found this Master Beihai to be quite endearing.
"Lord Xiao, you are truly amazing!"
The moment the Spirit Gathering Formation was formed, an extraordinary phenomenon erupted. The storm of spiritual energy that swept over him and engulfed his entire body startled Nangong Feiying.
"Wonderful! Hahaha! I've mastered a new type of Domain!" Beihai Wu danced with joy, as happy as an old child.
"Amazing! Is this the Spirit Gathering Formation after Lord Xiao's guidance? This phenomenon is even more powerful than the one caused by the Thunder Essence Heaven and Earth Spirit Gathering Formation that we saw when our teacher set it up!" The disciples were dumbfounded.
" City Lord Xiao, I've finished this part! Let's go check out the other places, make the most of the time, every second counts! We must finish before the strange fog arrives!" Beihai Wu had his own ulterior motives; he wanted to learn from others and gain experience.
The fortification area south of the inner city.
" City Lord Xiao, do you see that red-haired old man? This old fellow is an elder of the Eight Sceneries Palace, one of the Three Great Sage Lands of our Human Clan. His Domain skills are even above mine, but personally, I think he is far inferior to you, City Lord Xiao." On the way, Beihai Wu was extremely shocked to learn that the Spirit Gathering Formation that Xiao Tian was in charge of had been completed.
That's way too fast!
He spent quite a few days just overseeing one large Spirit Gathering Formation. Although the complexity of the array and the need to locate the resonance area took even more time to survey, Xiao Tian was responsible for more than ten times the number of Spirit Gathering Formation!
Thinking back on Xiao Tian's previous guidance, Beihai Wu felt that this city lord of Luo Cheng was terrifying! He was probably even Miaomei his own master.
Elder Lin of the Eight Sceneries Palace is currently conducting the final inspection procedures. He is just one step away from activating the Spirit Gathering Formation and completing its construction.
"This old fellow arrived with City Lord Xiao. Just now, the spiritual energy erupted in the east. Has this old fellow 'Domain skills improved?" Elder Lin was slightly puzzled.
" Elder Lin, wait a minute. Let City Lord Xiao check it first to see if there are any loopholes."
Beihai Wu's words almost made Elder Lin laugh in anger.
Could he possibly make a mistake with a mere Spirit Gathering Formation? Are you kidding me!
Xiao Tian was speechless. He didn't know if Beihai Wu had done it unintentionally or intentionally, but he had brought him up and praised him so highly. Wasn't this just inciting conflict?
However, as the chief engineer of the repair and reconstruction plan, he did have the right and responsibility to inspect the works within the plan.
" Elder Lin, it will only take a minute of your time."
Elder Lin smiled proudly and nodded.
Elder Lin was very confident. He had constructed this Spirit Gathering Formation no less than a hundred times, and his skill was already perfected, making up for many imperfections.
"I've heard that Xiao Tian is the main person in charge of the formation in Luo Cheng. Let's see if this kid's skills are real!"
Xiao Tian approached the Spirit Gathering Formation that was about to be activated, his eyes sharp, and immediately locked onto the Jia-13 area.
" Elder Lin, your Spirit Gathering Formation uses the Five Elements to generate fire. This place is located to the south, and the south corresponds to fire, so the positioning is correct. However, there are too many fire stones in this area. When the yang reaches its extreme, yin arises. Although it is still fire, the yin fire will affect the resonating and linked array. Let's remove three fire stones."
Upon hearing this, Elder Lin's expression changed, his brows furrowed deeply, and he fell into deep thought.
"Haha! Old man Lin, what are you thinking about! City Lord Xiao is right! This Spirit Gathering Formation isn't just for one area! We have to consider the bigger picture!"
"Hmph!" Elder Lin glanced at Beihai Wu, who was watching the show, and stared at Xiao Deva Path: " City Lord Xiao has a keen eye for detail. It was I who overlooked the key point. Fortunately, it is."
" Elder Lin, place two more water-based energy crystals in this Grade 2 area to prevent the balance from being disrupted."
"A single move affects the whole situation. After removing two pieces of Flame Stone, the quantities in other areas will need to be recalculated. Hahaha!" Elder Lin laughed heartily.
Two minutes passed, and after Xiao Tian finished his inspection, Elder Lin cast a spell seal to activate the Spirit Gathering Formation.
"This spiritual energy storm is no less powerful than that of Master Beihai before, and may even be stronger. His level of skill is evident at a glance!" Nangong Feiying exclaimed inwardly.
He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Tian, secretly sighing that this person was the most terrifying.
At this moment, Beihai Wu sighed inwardly, "Only three mistakes? This old man Lin's skill is indeed higher than mine! I have no choice but to admit defeat; I still need to learn and study!"
" City Lord Xiao, let's go take a look to the north."
" City Lord Xiao, the northern fortifications are also being overseen by an elder from my Eight Sceneries Palace, a junior brother of mine. I would be grateful if you could carefully inspect them." Elder Lin, not wanting to miss the chance to join in the fun, eager to see his fellow disciple make a fool of himself.
"Old man Lin, what are you doing? You just finished setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation, and you've used up a lot of energy. Why don't you go and rest?" Beihai Wu said with a laugh.
"Hmph! You old codger, do you think I don't know what you're up to? Although I'm older than you, my health isn't necessarily worse!"
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly; these two old men were quite amusing.
boom!
Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and a mushroom cloud of spiritual energy shot into the sky from the north side of the inner city!
"Oh no! Go check it out immediately!" Elder Lin's expression changed drastically.
