When Qiu Xiyu returned to his tent, he saw his aunt was waiting for don’t know what I’m thinking. Seeing Qiu Yinan, Qiu Xiyu felt a little shy unconsciously. Qiu Yinnan saw the expression on his face and naturally thought of the reason. But this time, I'm quite satisfied. “This assessment competition will be relocated and rescheduled for next month. You should be given a month to rest and recover. Prepare well and come back next month to perform better than this time." Qiu Yinan did not ask anything else, and directly talked about the assessment of formation masters. "Then what about Brother Su? He is injured, and if he is not fully recovered by next month, it will be a disaster." After hearing what her aunt said, she subconsciously began to ask further questions.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yinan smiled and shook his head. "You should think more about yourself, kid. If Su Xing passes this assessment, his rating will be greatly improved. He doesn't need to worry about the eighth-grade assessment. After what happened last night, he will at least be recognized as a seventh-grade formation master by the Formation Alliance." When Qiu Xiyu heard this, she was not surprised, but felt it was natural. Yes, last night when facing the celestial demon, the formations set up by Su Chen held up. With such strength, the title of eighth-grade formation master is obviously not worthy of Su Chen. Thinking about himself, Qiu Xiyu still felt a little ashamed. She is known as the most talented descendant of the Qiu family in formation. But in front of Su Chen, it’s really not good enough. Although Su Chen is only a few years older than her, his attainments in formation are more than enough for him to be her teacher. And when Su Chen was saving her last night, Qiu Xiyu also saw Su Chen's martial arts skills. His martial arts skills are also quite good. Various factors combined together further demonstrate Su Chen's extraordinaryness. "We stayed in the tent for so long today. What did you talk about?" After finishing the serious business, Qiu Yinan started to ask Qiu Xiyu these questions. Qiu Xiyu did not hide anything in front of her aunt. My sister-in-law is feeling a little depressed.
If she knew that you were lying to her, she would start to have all kinds of wild thoughts. So in front of Qiu Yinan, Qiu Xiyu always said whatever he wanted to say. I learned that the two of them also talked about Qiu Ruoshuang, and Su Chen admired her very much. Qiu Yinan snorted coldly several times. "It seems like Qiu Ruoshuang is the only one in our huge Qiu family. Whenever people from various major sects mention our Qiu family, they always talk about Qiu Ruoshuang. It seems that all the achievements of our Qiu family were earned by her alone." Hearing her aunt's complaints, Qiu Xiyu didn't dare to say much. Just by listening, she knew that her aunt didn't like Qiu Ruoshuang. But Qiu Ruoshuang is just so outstanding. Whether she likes it or not, Qiu Ruoshuang remains the same. "Qiu Ruoshuang is so capable, she should solve all the problems the family is currently facing. The clan's elixirs have been greatly affected, why doesn't she solve the problem of the jade elixir? After consuming so many resources, it is only natural that we have achieved what we have today. I don’t know what to brag about.” In front of Qiu Xiyu, Qiu Yinan started muttering and complaining about various things. But in fact, after Qiu Ruoshuang reached the realm of transformation, she often no longer relied on the Qiu family for resources. The Qiu family does not have most of the scarce resources. Treasures from heaven and earth like those were mostly found by Qiu Ruoshuang herself. Besides, a warrior's strength does not depend entirely on resources. Resources are important, but having resources does not necessarily mean that one can improve his or her strength. If resources were really the only reason, then the descendants of all powerful warriors would surely become masters. But the fact is, there are many descendants of masters in the world who are very bad. Even if you use resources to stack them, the maximum you can reach is the seventh or sixth grade. Not to mention reaching the third rank like Qiu Ruoshuang. Whoever can use resources purely to reach the fifth level, the realm of transformation, will change the structure of this world. Qiu Xiyu was thinking about her own affairs and didn't listen seriously to her aunt's complaints. Qiu Xiyu was clear about Qiu Ruoshuang's skills and abilities.
Deep down, I feel more admiration for Qiu Ruoshuang. But in terms of blood relationship, Qiu Yinnan is closer. Qiu Xiyu's father also handed her over to Qiu Yinan's care. Over in the tent, Su Chen had really had enough sleep. Seeing that Qiu Xiyu was gone, he changed into disguise again and came out to get some fresh air. When You Mingshan and the others saw Su Chen, several formation masters immediately came forward to greet him. Invited Su Chen to sit in their central tent. Su Chen did not refuse. These masters of the Formation Alliance were actually quite nice people. And Su Chen also wanted to hear the masters' opinions on his strength in formation. Fortunately, the formation was set up in advance last night. Only in this way did he gain some benefits in hindering the celestial demon. The beast-trapping formation that he had set up actually trapped the celestial demon. Su Chen felt that he was not bad at all. I just don't know what level this formation would be considered by the formation masters. Sit down in the tent. After a while, Master You Mingshan personally brought Su Chen a cup of tea. This made Su Chen feel a little embarrassed. He stood up repeatedly to show his respect. The tea was ready, so the conversation naturally began. The eyes of several formation masters fell on Su Chen. As soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about some issues related to the concept of formation. This time, Master You Mingshan no longer said that Su Chen’s ideas had problems, but instead asked Su Chen what he really thought. What is the basis for what you think? Su Chen explained his ideas on arranging the formation, starting from the most fundamental concept. In the formation manual left by Immortal Jingbo, the most basic concept is actually that there is no fixed pattern. There is no fixed pattern for the arrangement of all formations. Although the formation is very rigorous, it will be difficult to operate if there is any mistake. But the main reason is that the formation master did not fully understand the core.
For example, in the beast-trapping formation, there are so many formation patterns, which are complicated and diverse. But some of these array patterns are just virtual patterns. The so-called virtual patterns are the name Su Chen gave to a type of array patterns. The presence or absence of this type of virtual pattern will not affect whether the beast-trapping formation can operate. It will only affect the strength of the formation. Its significance is similar to the virtual constraints in a mechanism, which can affect the strength of the mechanism but will not determine whether the mechanism can be used. Su Chen was just working on these virtual patterns. By integrating with other formations, the formations of other formations can also serve as the virtual patterns of the Beast Trapping Formation. In this way, not only the beast trap formation is strengthened. It also brought assistance from the effects of other formations. The formation masters around listened very carefully. They never imagined that the formation could be arranged like this. It turns out that the core of the formation superposition lies here. Especially when Su Chen proposed the concept of virtual patterns, it made their hearts turn upside down. After so many years, he has reached the level of a fifth-grade formation master. You Mingshan and his friends thought that they had a deeper understanding of the formation. The more basic concepts had already been thoroughly understood. What they were studying now was the details. For example, the thickness and curvature of the array pattern. Do these have any impact on the formation? Of course they do. But how big the impact is is really hard to say. To put it bluntly, when a chef cooks a little longer, it won't have much of a impact. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. It is just a small change and will not cause too much specific change to the entire formation. Many times, the details they study can be said to be a waste of time. In the central tent, several formation masters worked together to quickly set up a simple dynamic formation. The Mingdong Formation is a very commonly used formation for studying formations. It has only one specific function, which is to emit a brighter light. Adjust it and move it. You can see the changes in the formation very clearly.
If the formation cannot function, its light will go out. If the intensity of the bright motion array decreases, it will become darker. As the intensity increases, it becomes brighter. Therefore, when array masters want to verify certain methods, they will use this dynamic array. It is too clear and bright for observation. After the formation was set up, You Mingshan asked Su Chen to give some real guidance. In this moving array before my eyes, which patterns are virtual and which are real. They just understood what Su Chen said, but in actual application, they were still clear about their own problems. There is no complete understanding of virtual patterns and real patterns. Su Chen did not hesitate and started to adjust the Mingdong Formation directly. Originally, Su Chen cut off the part that they saw that must not be moved. Then the light emitted by the entire bright moving array began to gradually dim. During the whole process, everyone saw it very clearly. The Mingdong Formation was still running after those were cut off. Su Chen kept operating and explaining. Beside him, Master Cui also followed Su Chen's example and used his own understanding to break the formation pattern at a certain position. But it was clearly just an inconspicuous position that was cut off, and the dynamic formation became ineffective. Seeing this, Su Chen explained it to them again. But it sounds simple but it is harder to do. They learned a lot from Su Chen's description of the whole process. But I just can't use it, even though it sounds easy. The conversation lasted until late at night. Seeing Su Chen pick up the tea and drink it several times, several people understood. Su Chen was tired of explaining to them. Moreover, Su Chen was seriously injured last night, and it was already late, so they didn't feel comfortable letting Su Chen continue teaching them. You Mingshan spoke and expressed his gratitude to Su Chen. Let Su Chen go back too, after all, he has just recovered from his injuries. We have to go back to Pishi City tomorrow. There will also be a chance to discuss these with Su Chen.
Su Chen returned to his tent to rest. After seeing Su Chen leave, these formation masters could not calm down for a long time. I tried fiddling with it a few more times, and the results I got were sometimes right and sometimes wrong. It was obvious that they had not fully understood what Su Chen meant by the virtual patterns. These few hours of instruction did not allow them to master the technique. Being trapped here made everyone present a little disappointed. But after the disappointment, I couldn't help but sigh. Especially You Mingshan, when he thought about what he had said before, he now felt it was a bit funny. “When this child took part in the ninth-grade assessment, I gave him some reminders. It was said that his understanding of the formation was biased and the direction was wrong. When he took part in the eighth-grade assessment, I even asked him to give up. Fortunately, he insisted at the time, otherwise, I would have made a big mistake." You Mingshan had a look of self-blame on his face. There seemed to be some helplessness mixed with the self-blame. This time, the several formation masters around him were just trying to comfort him and didn't say anything overly exciting. “It is said that geniuses are not understood at first. Just like Su Xing, it is normal that we didn’t understand him at first. After all, we are not as talented as him in formations, so we don’t need to be too hard on ourselves.” Beside him, Master Cui spoke to comfort You Mingshan. Looking at the world, including the State of Chu, these formation masters are definitely worthy of the title of geniuses. But in this world, there are always geniuses above geniuses. The formation masters have been immersed in the art of formation for many years and have been in the Formation Alliance for so many years. I have seen enough geniuses in formation in this world. But even though they had seen so many formation geniuses, they were still not as shocked as Su Chen this time. This time, their understanding of the formation was at the level of expanding territory. “To be honest, if Su Xing had a broader understanding of formations. I feel that he can already be rated as a fifth-grade formation master. His study of formations seems a bit one-dimensional."
The other formation master beside him was quite accurate in his prediction. Su Chen's knowledge of formations all came from the classics of Immortal Jingbo. In terms of knowledge, I am indeed not as good as others. The types of formations he can arrange are also far fewer than those of other formation masters. It can be said that he lags behind in breadth, but in terms of accuracy, Su Chen is very good. “After we return to the Alliance, let’s give him some pointers. The future of the Alliance may depend on him." Several formation masters are no longer discussing who will accept Su Chen as their disciple. Su Chen’s explanation tonight made them feel a little embarrassed. They couldn't understand or grasp Su Chen's instructions, yet they still wanted to be Su Chen's master. This made them feel a little embarrassed. As a master, it is not necessary to surpass the apprentice in ability or know more than the apprentice. But Su Chen was not the disciple they had taken care of since childhood. It was because I saw that Su Chen had good talent that I wanted to take him in as my disciple. There is no previous grace, and the strength is not good enough. Only someone with a mental disorder would worship them as their teacher. As the formation masters of the Formation Alliance, you still have some sense of shame. He also knew that he shouldn't make such excessive demands in front of Su Chen. The night passed. All those who participated in the formation assessment returned to Pi Shi City. On the way back, Su Chen heard from other people about what happened that night. As a team stationed on the border, they have been questioned by the Jin court. Formation masters are a very distinguished group in the State of Jin. But that night, the garrison troops at the front line directly let a group of celestial demons pass. And totally unaware. It is only natural for such a situation to be questioned, held accountable and punished by the court. When there are many people around, Qiu Xiyu seems a little restrained. She would also chat with Su Chen.
It’s just that the content of the conversation is relatively formal, or even polite. After returning to Pishi City, no one left and stayed in the city. The relevant expenses will be borne by the Alliance. Waiting for the eighth-grade assessment to start again next month. (End of this chapter)
