" Xiaozhi, convert the Demon-Slaying Battle Formation training method into a book format and print three copies for me."
"Received, task created successfully!"
After Chen Mu gave Xiaozhi the order, less than an incense stick's time later, a mechanical arm extended and handed three brand-new books to him.
While books are not as efficient at imparting knowledge as images, they are easier to preserve and transport, and are also cheaper, making them generally sufficient for the current stage.
Chen Mu planned to show A Huo the training method for this battle formation first, and after confirming its feasibility, print it out in batches and promote it to other members of the Demon-Slaying Sword.
The members of the Demon-Slaying Sword are stronger on average than the elite legions of the eight major tribes. After all, they survived the battlefield of the West Ge Continent and generally have the cultivation level of the Middle Stage of the True Spirit Realm. Moreover, their mental fortitude is extremely strong. If they want to advance further, creating a battle formation is a very good way.
However, the conditions for forming a battle formation are extremely demanding, making it too difficult for them to switch to Chen Village's Five Elements Battle Formation.
Based on their characteristics, Chen Mu simply developed a new sword-based battle formation, which he named the ' Demon-Slaying Battle Formation '.
The Demon-Slaying Battle Formation is a purely offensive battle formation with far fewer variations than the Five Elements Battle Formation. Therefore, its cultivation complexity is also lower, and it does not require each member to cultivate the Five Elements Body Tempering Art like the Five Elements Battle Formation.
The core of the Demon-Slaying Battle Formation lies in unwavering fighting spirit. Once activated, the battle formation will ignite Heart of Battle Intent within the team, and as long as the fighting spirit of the members remains undiminished, the battle formation will not collapse.
Its weakness is also obvious: as long as the will of the members of the battle formation wavers, the battle formation cannot be maintained, which is different from the Five Elements Army, a battle formation that is comprehensively stable.
This battle formation was tailor-made for the Demon-Slaying Sword, because the will of every member of the Demon-Slaying Sword is as strong as steel, and this weakness is almost non-existent for them.
"Go check on A Huo."
With that thought in mind, Chen Mu took a step forward, and his body transformed into a white light, instantly arriving outside the Rune Research Institute.
He glanced around, took another step, and soon arrived at his destination: the martial arts training ground in Chen Village.
He could actually teleport to the training ground in one go, but the farther the distance, the higher the possibility of positional error, so he usually doesn't move too far in one go.
Whoosh! Clang clang clang...!
Thousands of sword cultivators at the True Spirit Realm and above train here, their moves fierce and powerful. If Chen Village's training grounds weren't spacious enough, they probably wouldn't be able to support such training.
A Huo sat high above the training ground, supervising the members of the Demon-Slaying Sword. When he noticed Chen Mu approaching, he waved to him.
"Everyone, take a half-hour break."
Upon hearing the order, the members of the Demon-Slaying Sword did not shout or make a fuss, but instead went to collect food or meditate and rest in an orderly manner.
The members of the Demon-Slaying Sword were mostly rescued from the clutches of the Otherworldly Demon by A Huo. They struggled on the edge of life and death every day on the Otherworldly Demon battlefield, which forged their indomitable spirit, something that other soldiers could not match.
"Here! This is the battle formation training method I designed for you. Take a look when you have time."
Chen Mu also tossed three brand-new books with the title " Demon-Slaying Battle Formation " on the cover, which flew into A Huo's hands.
"Okay! I'll tell you after I've finished reading it."
Although Chen Mu was able to quickly deduce suitable battle formations using Xiaozhi's computing power, actual practice is much more complex than deduction, and he would definitely need to make adjustments and modifications later.
"It seems you've adapted to the power of the Core Formation Realm. How about a sparring match?"
Chen Mu glanced at A Huo, then said eagerly.
More than a month ago, A Huo had already passed the Heavenly Tribulation of the Core Formation Realm. The Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was no problem for A Huo. The last lightning tribulation was even split in two by A Huo with a single sword and swallowed into his stomach.
"I couldn't ask for more!"
A Huo's eyes instantly turned fiery.
After breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, he could more easily sense the workings of heaven and earth, and recently he had new insights every day, with his strength advancing by leaps and bounds, but he was suffering from not having the opportunity to make a move.
Now that Chen Mu has taken the initiative to challenge him, he is naturally more than happy to accept.
"Okay! Let's go upstairs."
Fearing that the aftermath of the battle would affect the buildings there, they flew together into the sky.
Although theoretically Core Formation Realm experts can roam freely in the air, the high altitude is different. High above, the Nine Heavens Astral Wind rages, and ordinary Core Formation Realm experts simply cannot resist this force of nature.
So Chen Mu and A Huo flew for seven or eight thousand meters before stopping.
"Haha, take this punch!"
Chen Mu didn't hold back and unleashed a fist-shaped beam of energy, smashing it head-on towards A Huo.
With a soft "poof".
A Huo didn't even draw his sword; he simply flicked his finger, and a transparent Sword Qi flew out, shattering the fist's energy.
"Don't embarrass yourself by launching an attack of this magnitude."
A Huo knew that Chen Mu was afraid of hurting him, and said proudly.
Waiting for others to attack was never his style. He simply made a sword gesture with his hands, and more than a dozen Sword Qi condensed around him.
"Go!"
He pointed, and a sharp Sword Qi rushed towards Chen Mu.
"Alright! Then I'll show you my true skills, haha..."
Chen Mu clasped his hands together, and a huge human phantom appeared behind him.
The Dharma Aspect True Body!
This time, the Dharma Aspect True Body that Chen Mu had condensed was more solid than the one he had summoned when he broke through. His strong body was like a god or Gods and Devils who had created the world. With a gentle pat, he shattered all the dozen or so Sword Qi that flew towards him.
"Roar!!!"
The Dharma Aspect True Body roared, shaking the heavens and the earth, and then charged towards A Huo.
"Sword, come!"
A Huo's longsword was finally drawn, drawing a graceful arc in the air before multiplying into ten, then into a hundred, then into a thousand, and finally into ten thousand.
Tens of thousands of longswords blotted out the sky, and the faint sound of dragon roars could be heard as they rushed towards Chen Mu's Dharma Aspect True Body.
Boom! Clang clang clang...!
A Huo's longsword was indestructible, and it quickly pierced the Dharma Aspect True Body with countless holes. However, as soon as Chen Mu changed his hand seal, the wounds on the Dharma Aspect True Body immediately healed as if it had an immortal body.
The battle between the two gradually became a stalemate. A Huo was unable to defeat Chen Mu's Dharma Aspect True Body, but Chen Mu's Dharma Aspect True Body was also unable to get close to A Huo A Huo cause him any harm.
Five Elements Armor!
Chen Mu's body was covered in Five Elements Ring Armor, and then he took a step forward, arriving in front of A Huo.
Since ranged attacks were ineffective against his opponent, Chen Mu decided to engage A Huo in close combat.
With a loud bang!
Chen Mu's fist clashed with A Huo's sword-like finger, and both of them took a step back.
At this moment, Chen Mu's enhanced physical body, strengthened by the runes, demonstrated its advantage. Although both of them had to take a step back, Chen Mu's physical strength was higher and his recovery ability was stronger, so the impact had no effect on his body.
But A Huo's internal energy surged due to the impact, slowing his reaction by a beat.
