The Ground Main Formation Was Out Today

"It freezes people, but not bamboo."

Shui Bing'er only said five words, but the Skywater Academy team members already understood.

Just as Li Man placed the first Mobile Formation Eye near the root of the Yu Feng Wing, the ice line slid along the ground from the other side of the arena. It didn't touch that bit of jade-colored Soul Power, and even deliberately went around it by half a foot. In the end, it froze the ice surface that the Yu Feng was preparing to use as it landed.

Just as Yu Feng was about to get up again, his foot slipped.

"You guys are really quick to spot things."

No one answered him; the second ice line in the Skywater Academy was already touching the Shi Mo.

After Dong Jian proactively shut down the Yin-Yang Mountain Domain yesterday, Li Man also withdrew her main ground formation. Today, as the match continues, she did not deploy any key nodes onto the playing field.

The core of the formation follows the person: one Yu Feng wing root and one Shi Mo shoulder.

One piece of Yu Tianheng's waist.

There was another one at Ye Lingling's feet that kept adjusting as she moved.

These nodes are not floating in the air; they still need a mobile carrier to attach to. The nodes only move when people leave.

When people freeze, the road naturally stops too; Shui Bing'er saw this very clearly.

"Don't go down the right flank with Yu Feng," Li Man immediately changed her mind.

Yu Tianheng continued his charge without stopping, his Thunder Dragon Body blasting a crack in the ice in front of him. He didn't turn back, but simply moved half a step closer to the center.

The jade Soul Power that was originally intended to be transferred from Yu Feng was suddenly severed.

Li Man flicked her finger, connecting the remaining short circuit to the Shi Mo.

The next instant, the ice line arrived.

Shi Mo's left leg was encased in a thin layer of ice, not thick enough to hold him for long.

But he didn't take that half-step forward that he was supposed to.

The battle route was broken again, and Shui Bing'er did not touch Green Jade Bamboo.

From beginning to end, she only froze the people carrying the nodes.

Dong Jian stood in the middle, watched for a while, but did not activate his Fourth Soul Skill.

This was already proven yesterday.

The water film, cavities, and ice fragments beneath the ice layer will transmit the Mountain Domain's real-time feedback in multiple directions.

Just because he's more serious today doesn't mean he'll suddenly become reliable.

He only looked at people, and was forced to rise higher by the Yu Feng.

Shi Mo shook off the thin ice on its legs, Yu Tianheng continued to press down from the front, and Li Man changed course for the third time.

Her movements didn't slow down, but her brows had already furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Dong Jian asked.

"It's not a problem with the road."

What is that?

"Only one person on each road."

Dong Jian understood only half of it.

Li Man didn't continue explaining, because Shui Bing'er had already presented them with the answer.

Ye Lingling moved to the right, and the Mobile Formation Eye at her feet followed suit.

This is currently the most important connection in Imperial Fighting Team.

The treatment team cannot be completely removed from the front lines.

Just as the Shi Mo was about to catch up, two Skywater Academy team members slid past from the left and right respectively, and the two white lines on the ice surface closed at the same time.

One Ye Lingling, the other seals the base of the Shi Mo.

Li Man's main healing path is only bound to these two landing points.

The moment the Shi Mo froze, the road came to a complete stop.

"Lingling, take half a step back," Dong Jian said.

Ye Lingling immediately retreated, but only to avoid being directly attacked.

The distance between her and Yu Tianheng on the front lines of treatment was still stretched.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er didn't chase after Ye Lingling at all. Instead, she ordered the front row to speed up and press Yu Tianheng.

"She's forcing you." Dugu Yan withdrew a wisp of poisonous mist from the side.

"I know," Li Man said.

The jade light at her fingertips did not continue to flow towards the Shi Mo.

Instead, it landed on the Yu Feng.

As the Yu Feng rider hovered in mid-air, he saw the blue light at the base of his wings reappear and instinctively asked, "Wasn't I just sealed away?"

You are not currently banned.

"But Lingling is too far away from me."

So you go left.

Yu Feng was taken aback, then realized that the moving anchor was not the end.

A person can also change their position.

He slashed down from the air, not attacking any of the Skywater Academy team members, but simply passing by Ye Lingling from the side and behind.

The jade array's core moved with him, and Li Man snapped her fingers together.

The previously interrupted treatment route briefly lit up, and Ye Lingling went to Yu Feng, Yu Feng went to the outer side of the Shi Mo.

Back to the front lines, just a few breaths will suffice.

The healing light of the Nine Heart Begonia fell on Yu Tianheng's shoulder, pressing down on the wound that had just been cut by the ice blade.

Shui Bing'er's eyes flickered slightly. After the first main road was frozen, Imperial Fighting Team sent a second person to pick her up.

"Is this a backup?" Dong Jian asked.

Li Man shook her head.

"That wasn't it just now."

"That's right now."

She has thought things through.

After abandoning the main ground formation yesterday, she thought that by following the nodes, she could avoid the interference of the ice layer on the formation itself.

The Mobile Formation Eye still has landing points, only now they've changed from the ground to people.

If a critical path always recognizes only one person.

Even if that person is frozen, the entire road will still be blocked.

"From now on, we won't tie up anyone on crucial roads."

Li Man raised her hand.

Next to Ye Lingling's treatment connection, a second extremely faint blue light appeared.

Main anchor, Yu Feng anchor, spare anchor, Shi Mo, another Yu Tianheng return route.

Main anchor, Shi Mo; spare anchor, Dong Jian.

Not everyone can be interchanged; distance, speed, and carrying habits are all different.

Li Man could only set a second landing point for the two most crucial paths.

There's more, but she can't remember it all now, nor can she keep track of it all.

Shui Bing'er clearly wasn't planning on letting her practice slowly.

"Left side."

One of the Skywater Academy team members responded and pressed forward. The ice line did not chase after Yu Feng anymore, but directly pressed down on the Shi Mo.

As soon as the Shi Mo shook off the thin ice beneath his feet, a ring of frost formed around his right leg.

His movement slowed down immediately, this time.

Li Man did not wait for the route to be completely interrupted.

"Change."

The jade Soul Power was withdrawn from the Shi Mo in advance, and the backup anchor cut towards the Yu Feng.

Just as Yu Feng was about to take off, he heard a word and abruptly changed his direction to lateral movement.

The movement was uncomfortable, and I almost got grazed on the shoulder by an ice arrow, but the healing threads didn't break.

Ye Lingling's Soul Power can still be sent to the front lines.

"It works," Dong Jian said.

"Don't be too happy yet." Li Man's voice was a little lower than before.

She had a light sheen of sweat on her forehead, and maintaining four Mobile Formation Eye at the same time wasn't too difficult.

The difficulty is that she now not only has to remember four positions, but also who the main anchor is.

Which anchor is the backup, when was the main anchor frozen, and how far is the backup anchor from the route at this moment?

Will I run into another road after cutting through?

Ten Thousand Bamboos Return to the Veins excels at pre-planning traffic distribution, but these people are constantly moving, every single time they move.

The presets are all changing.

"How many more can you manage?" Dong Jian asked.

Two main and two backup lines.

What about the third one?

There is no third option.

The answer was straightforward. Dong Jian nodded and didn't try to persuade her to lay more.

There are only two points; do what you can do well.

It's better than forcibly cramming all the connections into your brain.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out at the front line.

Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Body continued to advance, forcing the two front-row Skywater Academy to slide back several feet.

Imperial Fighting Team briefly gained space, Shi Mo prepared to move forward to replenish it, but Shui Bing'er raised her hand at that moment.

The Third Soul Ring lit up, but the ice lines did not rush towards Yu Tianheng or Li Man.

All are pointing towards the two moving anchors of the Imperial Fighting Team: Yu Feng and Shi Mo.

"She figured it out," Dugu Yan said.

Of course I could tell.

The two route changes just now were enough for Shui Bing'er to confirm that Li Man was beginning to prepare a second landing point for the critical connection.

Since freezing one can be replaced by freezing the other, let's freeze both of them together, and let the Yu Feng rider be in mid-air.

Ice couldn't possibly reach his feet, but the Skywater Academy team immediately changed their target.

Three consecutive ice arrows blocked his wing root and retreat route.

The Yu Feng can only rise higher; he rose one step at a time.

The location used as a mobile anchor was too far from Ye Lingling.

On the other side, the ice layer beneath Shi Mo's feet closed up completely, and its thickness was greater than the previous two times.

He punched down, the first layer cracked, but the second layer remained wrapped around his leg.

Both the primary and backup routes in front of Li Man simultaneously darkened.

Ye Lingling's treatment line lost both the main anchor and the backup anchor simultaneously for the first time.

"Dong Jian," Li Man began.

Dong Jian had already made his move, but he didn't go to take over the core of the formation; that wasn't his decision.

He simply took two steps between Ye Lingling and the front line, first blocking the most dangerous physical breakthrough.

Skywater Academy Mingong slid across the ice and bumped into Dong Jian, who took a half-step back.

Circular Rotation only dealt with the impact of the collision with his body; the ice energy still grazed his sleeve, leaving a thin layer of frost. He did not give chase.

After veering off the opponent, immediately return to the center line.

"I can only hold out for a little while."

"Enough."

Li Man stared at Yu Feng, then at Shi Mo, as the main anchor was forced far away.

The spare anchor is frozen.

For the first time, she truly realized that Mobile Empty Formation wasn't simply a matter of lifting the array's core off the ground.

As long as the core of the formation still needs someone to rely on, the opponent can target that person.

Shui Bing'er did not continue attacking Ye Lingling; she even took a half-step back. Then, the ice line extended to the side from Shi Mo's feet, where Li Man had just marked the location as a backup anchor for another route.

Shui Bing'er looked at her without saying a word, her meaning was already clear.

One backup isn't enough, two might not be enough either, but Li Man's mental strength at this moment...

It's impossible to prepare an endless number of alternatives for every path.

She slowly exhaled.

Then they retrieved the outermost Mobile Formation Eye that was still usable.

Dong Jian saw it.

"One less?"

One is missing.

"There are fewer roads now."

"Empty your mind a little."

Li Man looked up again.

"Next round."

"I will not protect the entire network."

The ice line has already reached the second landing point of the Shi Mo, while the Imperial Fighting Team Front is underway.

The treatment connection has only one last temporary short circuit that is not yet fully closed.
