After hearing what You Mingshan said, the reviewers present also restrained themselves a registration is completed, everyone has to leave. Even if I want to wait here, I can't. On the way back, many people were silent. In my mind, I recalled the terrain of the area I had chosen. I was thinking about how to arrange and prepare based on the terrain. Those who were more experienced brought paper and pen in advance. On the way back, we just sat in the carriage. While rushing back, he drew down all the terrain he had noted down. Compared to their nervousness, Su Chen was much calmer. Although Su Chen doesn't think he is very good at formations.
But setting up a thorn array is always no problem. After returning to the camp to rest for a night, everyone set out again at noon the next day. Those formation masters who have no martial arts skills need to get on the carriage a little earlier and set off at the hour of Mao. Now that summer has arrived, the sun rises very early. After a while after the Chenshi hour, the sky naturally became bright. Su Chen went to the same place as yesterday with the crowd. Unlike yesterday, when we arrived here today, there was already a large group of spectators waiting around. There are really a lot of people coming to watch. Yesterday it was because the location of the formation was not announced. After the announcement, all the onlookers naturally came. There were more than two hundred people taking the eighth-grade formation master assessment. Their respective relatives and friends, or the elders and fellow disciples in the sect. Just these people gathered together, there are already a lot of people. In addition, many sects sent people to take a look. If some small families or individual cultivators perform outstandingly. Then they are willing to recruit him into their own sect. There are many sects that need formation masters, and even an eighth-grade formation master is in great demand. After all, it’s really not easy to reach the eighth level. Su Chen heard from them that it would be very good if thirty people could pass out of more than two hundred people.
If only one out of nine people passed, it's already very good. Everyone went to the seat they had chosen. At the time of Si, the assessment of the eighth-grade formation master officially began. Following the evaluator's announcement, everyone started to take action. We saw the terrain first yesterday, so when we started, many people did not hesitate and started working. Everyone was given four hours to set up this formation. The thorn array is not a particularly complicated array, and both inside and outside the array are effective in hurting the enemy. It is precisely because there are not so many details and this effect exists both inside and outside that the thorn array appears simple. If the target touches the edge of the formation, it will feel severe pain. For Su Chen, half an hour would definitely be enough to set up the thorn array. However, the thorn array to be set up this time is more than two meters wide. It is considered to be in a medium range and must also have practical significance. So it takes a little more time. But for Su Chen, it was not too difficult. The place where Su Chen was at the moment was a rugged slope. The potholes inside directly affect the smoothness of the formation patterns. After calming down, Su Chen didn't think it was impossible to accomplish. The key point of this type of formation is to change the curvature of the formation according to the slope. It sounds simple, but many formation masters cannot understand it. Even if it is understandable, their methods are difficult to meet the required standards. But Su Chen has already overcome these difficulties on his own. Now, we just need to start making arrangements. The tools, materials and alliances needed to set up the formation have all been prepared for everyone. Su Chen began to devote himself wholeheartedly without any distraction. Everyone else was the same, serious and focused. At this time, the spectators around were watching and discussing. The information of those who came to participate in the eighth-grade formation master assessment this time has been registered with the Formation Alliance. When registering, the alliance will ask whether their information can be disclosed to the outside world.
At this moment, if the forces that come here to observe take a fancy to someone, they can ask the Alliance about their identities. If the answer can be obtained by asking, then this person is most likely willing to be recruited by other forces. The people who were watching became more and more excited in the discussion. In the northeast direction, people who were watching gathered together. The reason why so many people gathered here was because there was an eighth-grade formation master here. He was explaining it to the people around him. The skills of array masters are very professional, and it is not easy for laymen to understand them. It all depends on who has quicker hands and feet, who does not hesitate, and who moves more smoothly. But with the explanation of this eighth-grade formation master, everyone can understand many confusing points. This is especially true for those forces that are interested in recruiting formation masters. “Formation is a very delicate job, and sometimes, it is better to be slow but precise. If an eighth-grade formation master made a mistake when arranging the formation, it is very likely that a fifth-grade formation master would not be able to see where the mistake is. Often, all previous efforts are wasted because of one mistake. It’s a waste of manpower and resources.” After hearing this, many people around were a little confused. A fifth-grade formation master is basically the top type of formation master in the State of Jin. They can't even see the problem with the formation set up by an eighth-grade formation master? Seeing the confusion of the people around him, this eighth-grade formation master did not hide it. “If it’s a simple formation, then it’s not difficult to see. However, in actual application, the arc and curvature of the array pattern. Various details will affect the accuracy of the formation and determine whether it can work. If a fifth-grade array master wants to find the problem, he has to calm down and look at it bit by bit. With this leisure time, a fifth-grade cultivator can already set up a new formation." When the people around heard this, they nodded thoughtfully. This is true. Instead of looking for problems, sometimes it is better to start over. After saying this, the eighth-grade formation master in front of him was still talking. “To be honest, I don’t know how talented one must be to be able to spot the problem with the formation at a glance.
It is said that the Formation Alliance's requirement for a fourth-grade formation master is to be able to spot the flaws in a problematic formation within half an hour. There are only nine fourth-grade formation masters in our Jin country. Think about it, how difficult is this? Therefore, you must be careful and meticulous when setting up the formation. Avoiding mistakes is the most important thing; speed is a secondary requirement. Unless the formation master is in danger and wants to rely on this to save himself. " With the explanation of the eighth-grade formation master, the onlookers gradually became more professional. Su Chen, who was quick on his feet, was soon used as a negative example. Some spectators even pointed at Su Chen and talked about Su Chen's problems. Upon hearing this, someone immediately laughed and refuted. "Don't look down on others, this person's name is Su Xing. Master You had commented on him before, saying that he is talented and has a good chance of passing the assessment of an eighth-grade formation master in the future." “This is for later, not this time. Master You had advised him not to participate before, but he did it so quickly this time, I don’t know how many mistakes he made.” There is not much discussion about Su Chen around. Su Chen did not reveal any other information about himself to the outside world. This was to tell others that he was unwilling to join other forces. If Su Chen is interested, many forces should be willing to recruit him. After all, with You Mingshan's evaluation, many people recognized his potential. These spectators discussed other people. And Su Chen has reached the final stage of setting up the formation. Looking at the progress of others around him, Su Chen slowed down a little so as not to stand out. His eyes turned to Qiu Xiyu beside him. Her thorn array was almost halfway through. Still concentrating on drawing the array pattern. Her position was right next to Su Chen. The terrain was rugged and there wasn't a large area, so it was quite difficult. It seems that her technique is pretty good and she is very steady when drawing the array pattern. Throughout the whole process, the ideas were very clear. The foundation of the thorn array is solid and will not cause any problems due to the rugged terrain. But in the short time that Su Chen watched, he found something wrong.
The formation set up by Qiu Xiyu, the pattern on the right side is obviously not accurate enough. If it is on a flat road, this is of course no problem. However, on such a rough road, the array pattern will collapse. If this mistake is made, problems will arise after the formation is activated and running for a few moments. Su Chen saw that Qiu Xiyu was serious at the moment and did not disturb her. This problem can be adjusted later. After she has finished everything, give her a reminder. This formation assessment does not prohibit the participating formation masters from communicating with each other. The Alliance once explained the reason. If someone is taking an assessment and immediately understands the answer based on a few words of advice from others, he or she will know how to make changes. Such people are extremely talented and should have passed the assessment. In fact, most people cannot learn no matter how much they are advised by others. Can you learn those array patterns just by listening to other people's instructions? Many array masters have practiced and mastered the art, but they still cannot draw array patterns. Of course, mutual communication is allowed, but help from others in setting up the formation is not accepted. Time passed by minute by minute. After the formation is set up, you still have to wait here. Su Chen simply left some of it behind and waited until the end to complete it. During this period, Senior You Mingshan came here to visit once. Seeing the formation set up by Su Chen, he shook his head slightly. The end of the Shen hour marks the end of this first stage. Su Chen completed his thorn array half an hour ahead of schedule. Looking around, Qiu Xiyu had almost completed the arrangement of the formation. Seeing this, Su Chen did not hesitate. “On the right side of the formation, the arc of the formation pattern is too flat. After the entire formation is activated, the formation pattern will collapse, causing the formation to fail. Now you can adjust it" Su Chen said in a low voice. Although the sound is small, Qiu Xiyu should be able to hear it clearly.
But she seemed not to hear it and didn't even turn her head away. Su Chen thought she didn't hear his reminder. Then he said it again in a low voice. This time, Qiu Xiyu responded. She turned her head to look at Su Chen and nodded slightly. "Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother, but I have my own intentions for these." The polite reply was telling Su Chen that there was no need for his reminder. When Su Chen heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Does she have her own intentions? What's the purpose? Is it to make the formation have problems? Qiu Xiyu replied with just this, and then didn't say anything else to Su Chen, nor did she really go and see as Su Chen said. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the thorn array she had set up. Seeing this, Su Chen had no choice. I originally wanted to help the Qiu family for Qiu Ruoshuang's sake. But others don't appreciate it. If you say a few more words, others might think you have some bad intentions. The time for the assessment is almost over. From the end of the Si hour to the end of the Shen hour, a period of four hours. For Su Chen, this time was really too long. There is a lot of excess time. Although it was redundant, Su Chen did not waste the time. Su Chen could take this opportunity to carefully observe the formations set up by the people around him. Learn the tricks from their methods and see if they can be of some use to you. Overall, the two sides still have different concepts. The difficulty of the techniques is relatively similar. The technique that Su Chen learned from Immortal Jingbo requires that the formation pattern of the formation be presented in a gradient. The gradients layer by layer allow the formation patterns to be released layer by layer when taking effect. To achieve the effect of continuous continuity. The others accomplished it in one go, maximizing the pressure of the formation. After looking at it, Su Chen still felt that the difference between the two formations was not that big.
The time for setting up the formation has ended. The next step is verification, which is the time to judge everyone's performance. The spectators around also had more serious expressions on their faces. The process of setting up the formation was done with someone explaining and guiding. Most people just come to watch the fun. Only this final review will be interesting. It will be very interesting to see which people's formations can be activated successfully and which cannot. People watching will usually make predictions in advance and try to see who has better vision. It feels like a lottery draw. As required, Su Chen, like everyone else, began to retreat after activating the formation. It was about twenty feet away from the thorn array he had set up. Immediately afterwards, ten reviewers stood up. These ten evaluators are not only formation masters, but also have good martial arts skills. The worst ones are all at the fifth level of perfection. Six of them are powerful masters in the state of transformation. These ten evaluators will personally touch the thorn array. See if these thorn arrays can work properly and what extent of damage they can cause. There are ten evaluators, and each of them needs to test more than twenty thorn arrays. I don’t know if Senior You Mingshan did it intentionally, but he chose Su Chen’s group. The evaluation began, and the ten reviewers checked one by one. They all have body-protecting skills and wear top-grade inner armor. When you come into contact with the thorn array like this, you will only feel a little pain. Reach your hand into the formation. These formations have obviously been activated, but the formations set up by some people are ineffective. The reviewers put their hands into the thorns and felt no pain at all. Seeing this result, the faces of many participants instantly turned ugly. This is basically a half death sentence. The reason why it is called half death sentence is because there will be another chance later.
If the formation does not operate normally, you have two quarters of an hour to modify it yourself. After the modification is completed, verify it again. Based on the experience of previous years, the array that was set up did not work. It will be difficult to succeed if you change it later. Unless it is a very minor flaw, the formation master will also see it clearly. If we adjust it immediately, there is still a possibility. In most cases, there is no hope. (End of this chapter)
