Nine Points Form an Array, Li Man Reaches Level Forty

Li Man's breakthrough.

It happened three days later.

There is no Immortal Herb.

There are no powerful Soul Beast.

There was no life-or-death crisis.

It was just a training exercise for positional warfare within the Imperial Fighting Team.

The training ground was divided into nine areas.

A small flag was planted in the center of each area.

Li Man defended the position alone.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, Osler, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo were responsible for breaking the formation.

Ye Lingling did not participate in the attack.

He just stood on the sidelines.

Dong Jian also did not play.

Qin Ming's rule consists of only one sentence:

Within a quarter of an hour.

"If Li Man can hold onto all five flags, she will win."

Six people attacked simultaneously.

It seems unfair.

But Li Man doesn't need to defeat anyone.

All she needs to do is keep the formation going.

"Start!"

Yu Feng, it took off first.

Osler advanced from the ground flank.

The Shi Brothers split into two groups.

Yu Tianheng did not attack immediately.

He waited for Dugu Yan to spread the poisonous fog first.

All nine array eyes lit up simultaneously.

Golden veins of Green Jade Dragon Bamboo run through the ground.

Li Man did not connect all nine regions.

Instead, they form three independent smaller formations.

Three points on the left.

Three points on the right.

Three points from the central government.

This way, even if one of the array zones is destroyed.

The other two locations can still operate independently.

Dive to the left, riding the Yu Feng.

Li Man did not stop her.

The bamboo shadows around the first flag voluntarily retreated.

Make room.

Yu Feng thought she had given up.

We've just approached the flag.

The second array eye was activated from the Parasitic Bamboo mid-air.

The Green Bamboo Rebound alters the airflow.

Yu Feng's body shifted upwards.

The third array point on the ground seized the opportunity to steal the flag.

It's not about staying in one place.

Instead, it was moved to the central region.

"Can the flag be moved?"

"Osler asked."

"The rules only say 'preserve'."

Li Man answered.

Qin Ming did not stop him.

Osler changed his target.

Take straight to the center.

The Shi Mo and Shi Mo simultaneously impacted the array holes on both sides.

The Black Tortoise possesses immense power.

Li Man couldn't withstand it head-on.

The first array eye shattered.

Dragon Bamboo Origin Return and recovers 20% of the Soul Power.

Just as the second key to the formation was about to shatter.

But she didn't take it back.

Instead, it concentrates all its Soul Power into the vines.

It wrapped around the Shi Mo's ankle for a fleeting moment.

The Shi Mo shattered the array's core.

But the movement was a beat too slow.

The central flag has been transferred again.

Round 1.

Li Man managed to save all nine flags.

The cost was the destruction of two key points in the formation.

Round two.

Yu Tianheng joined.

Thunderous Might swept across the central area.

Large swaths of bamboo shadows were torn apart by lightning.

Li Man originally planned to transfer all the nodes.

Dugu Yan's poisonous fog had already blocked both escape routes.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's teamwork is more mature than it was in Suotuo City.

Thunderclap is responsible for destroying the array's core.

The toxic fog is responsible for preventing reconstruction.

Li Man lost three flags in a single breath.

Only four array nodes remain.

If we follow past practices...

She will immediately try to restore the nine-point structure.

However, Qin Ming's training goal was not to keep all nine array points intact at all times.

Even if half is lost.

The tactics continue.

"Withdraw."

All remaining bamboo shadows on the left disappeared simultaneously.

It wasn't defeated.

It's a voluntary surrender.

Li Man sent all the recovered Soul Power into the two nodes on the right.

The nine-dot matrix has been changed to a four-dot matrix.

The control range has been reduced by half.

The strength of the core formation, however, has significantly increased.

Shi Mo is coming head-on.

The first node withstands the impact.

The golden veins quickly shifted to the second one.

The Ten Thousand Bamboos Return to the Veins has not yet become Soul Skill.

It can only be adjusted manually by Li Man.

She didn't have time to deal with it completely.

The first key to the formation shattered.

However, they successfully redirected some of their forces to the rear.

A flag was bounced up by the impact.

It flew out of the poisonous fog.

Landed in the safe zone.

Six sides remain.

"I'm going to say that, "Yu Feng said.

Half the time has passed.

Li Man still holds the advantage.

However, the mental strain was already immense.

He was dealing with six teammates at the same time.

It is far more complex than controlling it individually.

Osler suddenly abandoned the flag.

It charged straight at Li Man's main body.

Once Control System Soul Master is approached...

The formation will inevitably be affected.

Dong Jian stood outside the court.

No notification was given.

Li Man did not back down.

The Green Jade Dragon Bamboo disappeared from the palm of the hand.

Everyone briefly lost their sense of the main formation's location.

Osler's speed did not decrease.

His hand was about to touch Li Man's shoulder.

A golden pattern lit up beneath his feet.

The true main force.

It had long since shifted from her Martial Soul body to her own shadow.

The Instant Formation Eye.

The bamboo and rattan sprang up from below.

Osler forced a turn in mid-air.

They were not completely trapped.

However, they lost their optimal attack position.

Li Man took the opportunity to retreat.

But at this very moment...

Yu Tianheng activates his Third Soul Skill.

Thunderous Fury strengthens the entire body.

He no longer destroys nodes one by one.

Instead, it attacks the ground directly.

A large area of Thunderclap spread across the training field.

Cracks appeared simultaneously in the remaining four array points.

The poisonous mist from the Dugu Yan then compressed.

They prevented Li Man from moving the core of the formation to a safe area.

Four.

Three.

Two.

The last main array also began to collapse.

Li Man's mental strength could not be repaired simultaneously.

She looked at the breaking golden veins.

Every time the formation went out of control in the past.

She would always prioritize protecting the main force.

Because once the main formation is destroyed...

All divisions will lose contact.

But after the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo evolves...

She was constantly searching for new answers.

Why must there be a main formation that can never be destroyed?

What the formation truly needs.

It is not a single bamboo stalk that exists forever.

Rather, power always has another path.

"Abandon the main formation."

Li Man said softly.

The last core node deliberately collapsed.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

There was no complete focal point on the field.

The Green Jade Dragon Bamboo Martial Soul did not disappear.

The golden Soul Power within the shattered node did not return to Li Man's body.

Instead, they flowed along the remaining root systems on the ground to the six flags that had not yet been taken away.

Every flag.

They all became the new temporary core of the battle.

It is not a case of one master and many servants.

Instead, the six nodes are interconnected.

Any one of them can temporarily take on the main role.

Yu Feng grabbed the first flag.

The Soul Power immediately shifted to the second aspect.

Osler destroyed the second node.

The power then flows through the remaining roots to the third side.

The formation constantly shifts its center as it is destroyed.

No single flag can stand alone.

The six flags united.

However, this ensured that the entire battle line never completely stopped.

At this moment, Li Man's Soul Power broke through on its own.

The obstacle between level 39 and level 40.

It's not that the total amount of Soul Power is insufficient.

Instead, she always focused all her efforts on a core that was essential to her existence.

When the main array is no longer limited to a single node.

The golden veins of the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo have finally completed a full cycle.

Boom!

The illusory image of the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo unfolded in the center of the training ground.

There is no Fourth Soul Ring.

He has only three Soul Ring.

His Soul Power aura had already reached level forty.

Six flags were simultaneously rolled up with bamboo and rattan.

Hanging high in the air.

The fifteen-minute time limit has been reached.

Li Man secured all six sides.

Training has been suspended.

Qin Ming announced.

Yu Tianheng withdrew his Thunderclap.

Dugu Yan dispersed the poisonous fog.

Everyone looked at Li Man.

Yu Feng was the first to speak:

"A breakthrough?"

Level 40.

Li Man sensed the Soul Power within her body.

There was no excited shouting.

He slowly loosened his grip.

The root system of the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo is more clearly visible than before.

The remaining power of those shattered array eyes.

They are still distributed throughout the training field.

What was that just now?

Dong Jian asked.

"It's not Soul Skill yet."

Li Man answered.

"It's just about reconnecting all the nodes."

"No main formation?"

"Each one can be temporarily..."

This is precisely the direction her future Fourth Soul Skill needs to take.

It's not simply about increasing the number of array points.

Instead, it allows multiple nodes to share a single life and Soul Power pathway.

As long as one remains.

The formation never truly disappeared.

Ye Lingling examined her body.

"It's only just broken through."

"Training cannot continue today."

Li Man nodded.

Yu Feng sighed beside him.

"I lost the bet."

Dong Jian asked:

Whom did you bet on?

"You."

"I'm going to say that, "Yu Feng said.

Who knew Li Man would break through first?

Dong Jian thought about it carefully.

"I didn't expect that either."

Li Man looked at him.

Are you disappointed?

"No."

Dong Jian answered.

"That's why Yu Feng lost."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Yu Feng immediately said:

"How can it be unrelated?"

"Didn't you two plan to make everyone guess wrong?"

Li Man's lips curled up slightly.

We did not place any bets.

That evening.

Qin Ming submitted his application to the academy to become Soul Hunting.

Li Man's Fourth Soul Ring direction has been determined:

Plant system.

Strong conduction.

Multi-node symbiosis.

Ideally, it should possess the ability to reconnect after a break in the root or share the lifeblood.

As for the time limit.

Qin Ming's initial suggestion is within seven thousand years.

The Qiluo Tulip has enhanced Li Man's martial spirit and mental strength.

She can withstand Soul Ring stronger than those of ordinary Soul Ancestor.

However, there is no need to blindly challenge the concept of "ten thousand years".

Li Man herself holds the same view.

"The danger of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"It's not just about the body."

She said.

"What I need is the most suitable Soul Skill."

"Not the darkest Soul Ring."

Dong Jian stood to the side.

Upon hearing this...

There was no immediate response.

Because in his heart.

An even more dangerous idea has emerged.

Li Man doesn't need the eternal fourth ring.

That doesn't mean he doesn't need it either.

The body is tempered by both ice and fire herbs.

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew can uplift one's spirits.

The Yin-Yang Iron-Eating Beast strengthens bones and increases load-bearing capacity.

If someone could actually be at the Fourth Soul Ring stage.

The mental impact of a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

That person.

Perhaps it is him.
