Chapter 377 Steady Progress
"Ask, what's the name of the inch-cropped young man just now, and how about the information?" After the inch-cropped youth left, Yuan Hongzhi went to

The receptionist at the counter naturally recognized him, so she quickly transferred the profile of the short-cut youth to him.

"Gao Sheng, the information is unknown."

"Well, you Gao Sheng, it depends on what you can do in this selection!" After Yuan Hongzhi finished reading, he returned the materials, and glared at the inch-headed young man Gao Sheng. He was dissatisfied and vowed to deal with him in the competition. He, defeat him in full view, and then humiliate him!

The time is coming, and the contestants are almost here.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into cheers,
"Miss Yuxi from the Bai family is here!"

Surrounded by cheers from a group of young people, a beautiful woman dressed in red fox fur came slowly, with a delicate figure, not inferior to or even better than Tang Wan and Jing Ming, her temperament was fresh and refined, like a fairy , is really a stunner in the world, a rare thing in the world.

"Miss Yuxi, it's an honor for you to be able to participate in this selection, and I hope you will be merciful!" Yuan Hongzhi greeted him immediately with a smile on his face.

Bai Yuxi is the only daughter of the strongest Bai family among the three wealthy families in Yuanjing City. She is extremely talented in formations and is also a second-level formation master. She is one of the powerful enemies identified by Yuan Hongzhi in this competition. She is charming and charming. , it is naturally the dream lover of many young people in Yuanjing City, if they can have sex with each other, fly parrots, play phoenix dances in fairyland, and have a happy night so it doesn't matter.More importantly, if they can get on board the big boat of the Bai family through marriage, they will be able to cover the sky with one hand in this source crystal city.

"Young Master Yuan praised you absurdly. You are the formation genius of the Yuan family, and it is Yu Xi who begs you to take care of me." Bai Yuxi replied politely, neither humble nor overbearing, without flaws.

While the two were chatting, the competition officially started. The person who came out to host was an elder named Liu from the Array Masters Association. He also looked about three or four thousand years old and was dressed in the uniform of the Array Masters Association.Like Danta, the Array Mage Association adopts the same method for mage identity identification, except that the silver star, gold moon, red sun are changed to round frame coat of arms, lace wave coat of arms and six-pointed star coat of arms. The number of stars, moons and suns in the coat of arms Show specific grades.Look at the lace wavy January coat of arms on Elder Liu's shoulders, he is a level four formation master.

"Young talents who are interested in studying formations, welcome everyone to participate in this selection contest. This time, my Origin Crystal City Formation Mage Association branch was fortunate to be allocated three places to go to the Haotian City finals. We will determine the candidates through the competition today , fair, just, and open. The competition adopts an elimination system, divided into three rounds, which are respectively depicting the formation map, formation attack and defense confrontation, and the last formation comprehension, and the top three will be selected according to the score..."

On the stage, Elder Liu was speaking eloquently, and everyone in the audience listened intently and thought about the countermeasures. Of course, some people who knew the content of the game in advance didn't care about it and were already prepared.

Pills, refining tools, and arrays are different but have similarities: pills pay attention to meticulousness, and for pills, the heat is mastered meticulously, to the point of perfection; Accuracy requirements are high, and precision is low; while formation requires high spirit and spirit, the comprehension and application of the laws of heaven and earth are the highest, and the difficulty is correspondingly the greatest.

The three have something in common, that is, the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, but even if the most basic concepts are the same, there are still huge differences in the framework structure, so to achieve good results for the three requires not only hard work but also It requires talent, aptitude, and the degree of difficulty is evident.

The three complement each other and are inseparable: for alchemy, you need a good alchemy furnace, and after making the elixir, you need a formation master to carve the pattern for the elixir to keep the properties of the elixir and keep it for thousands of years; refining equipment requires elixir To cure the fire poison that has been squeezed by the hot stove all the year round, it is necessary to add various formation inscriptions developed by the formation masters to the magic soldiers, so that the treasures of heaven, material and earth can truly exert their effects; of course, the development of formations Describing the layout also requires elixir to supplement the huge power of the lost spirit and keep awake, and also requires the refiner to provide them with various formation materials, such as the most commonly used stone slabs for depicting formations.

In the first round of the competition, draw the formation diagram.

Contestants need to choose one or more of the five arrays of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to portray, and [-] of them pass if they succeed in portraying [-] pieces.Among them, the array map has one to three levels.

The stone slabs drawn by the contestants are made of special materials, the size of a palm, and the production cost is low. It is the base material commonly used for simple formations. After the formation map, the types and quantities of stone slabs are fixed.In other words, players can only have one chance. It is impossible to say that if I fail to depict a third-level formation diagram, I want to use a spirit stone tablet that depicts a second-level formation diagram instead. Among the stone slabs of the second-level formation diagram, the stone slab will not be able to exert the power of the third-level formation due to its own material, so it is better to directly describe the second-level formation diagram to save time and effort.

But there is another problem here. If you choose a low-level formation map to describe the success rate, you can guarantee to pass this round of tests, but you will be in a disadvantageous situation in the next round of formation confrontation. If you choose a high-level formation Whether Tu can pass this round is the question.

And there is another trouble, depicting a hundred formation diagrams is a huge test for the spirit of the soul, and the higher the level of the formation, the greater the spiritual power of the soul will be consumed.

There were as many as 500 contestants, and they were led by Elder Liu and the reception staff to the test field for forming the formation in the main hall.This place is enough for everyone to compete together. The five light balls of different colors are placed on each person's table, and there are different types of formation diagram models of each department. The contestants need to choose the formation diagram that they are satisfied with first. Come out and carve on one hundred blank slates.

The game time is one hour.

Under Elder Liu's order, quite a few people began to impatiently select and draw the formation map without thinking.

Excluding Ma Yunteng, the hidden fifth-level formation mage among the five hundred contestants, there are not many second-level formation mages, no more than two palms, including Yuan Hongzhi and Bai Yuxi, and the specific level of promotion is unknown .

Ma Yunteng is still undecided for the time being. If his performance is too outstanding, he will easily attract attention and doubt his identity.He simply waited and watched what other people were saying.

Among the people present, there are two worthy of my attention: Gao Sheng, a young man with an inch head, and Bai Yuxi, the eldest lady of the Bai family. It is naturally simple, but if you want to hide your strength and win, it is a bit more difficult. The precise and ingenious grasp of this degree cannot be discerned. As for Yuan Hongzhi, he is not yet worthy of being included in the list of observation objects.

Among the few, Gao Sheng, a young man with an inch-length head, acted first. He chose the water type and the thunder type.

This surprised Yuan Hongzhi and others. Even a second-level formation master can't guarantee success every time when drawing a second-level formation diagram, let alone a third-level formation diagram, the chance of failure is much greater. Gao Sheng's combination now has a high failure rate.

Whether he is a second-level formation mage or a third-level formation mage, even a third-level formation mage is really a risky gamble.

"It's really bold, and I'm not afraid that I won't even pass the first round and just be eliminated like this!" Yuan Hongzhi said disdainfully, but he really didn't like the opponent.I adopt a relatively safe strategy, seven third-level formation maps plus 93 second-level formation maps. He is a second-level formation mage himself and is also an outstanding existence among the second-level formation mages. The sign of the first-level formation mage, to ensure the success rate of the second-level formation diagram, and at the same time increase the level of the large formation appropriately.

At the same time, Bai Yuxi also started to choose, but he was a little safer than them in the selection, using a combination of five third-level formation maps and 95 second-level formation diagrams.

As for the others, there are far fewer people with higher configurations than them. Basically, there are only one or two third-level formation diagrams. Most of them only choose the second-level formation diagram or the first-level formation diagram, and their levels are uneven.

After investigating the enemy's situation, Ma Yunteng also began to choose the formation map. As long as he can pass this game, he doesn't need to be too eye-catching, even the third, so he chose a relatively ordinary combination, five third-level formation maps plus 95 secondary formation diagrams.

After selecting the formation map, everyone began to carve one after another. The carving knives danced on the slate, and the pens moved away, making a series of rubbing sounds.

Everyone has their own ideas and strategies. Some people will start from easy to difficult and work steadily; some people choose to draw the most difficult third-level formation diagram first when they are most relaxed, and then go all out to complete the simple second-level formation. Fatou is done well, and of course some people use interspersed portrayals to properly adjust personal tension, and there are various methods.

Just when everyone was concentrating on drawing the formation map, two people quietly walked into the competition site to observe the progress of the players from above.

"What's the matter, didn't you say that he won't come? How do those guys do things?" Yuan Hongzhi was drawing the seven third-level formation diagrams, and he had finished drawing one, so relax his eyes From the corner of the eye, I saw that the two people became nervous.
"Crack!" A formation map failed to be drawn, and the stone slab was directly scrapped.

"Relax!" One failure made him anxious a lot, he took a deep breath and comforted himself, he could do whatever was scary, and he failed to draw three third-level formation diagrams one after another, and his heart became more and more flustered. In desperation, I can only put down the third-level formation diagram and first describe the second-level formation diagram.

"What the hell!"

And the person who made Yuan Hongzhi feel extremely nervous and caused him to make frequent mistakes was none other than Yuan Tianqi, the patriarch of the Yuan family and the giant of the Array Master Association.

He was dressed in plain clothes, with a lace wavy two-month coat of arms on his shoulders. He was a fifth-level formation master. He didn't wear makeup, so he looked a little sloppy, at least six or seven thousand years old.

Yuan Hongzhi is a descendant of Yuan Tianqi, logically he should support Yuan Hongzhi, but I don't know where this old man made a mistake, he is not satisfied with Yuan Hongzhi, he will always only blame him, not even a word of praise, even if he has done a good job no matter how good.It’s fine to be picky on weekdays. During the assessment of his promotion to the second-level formation master, Mr. Yuan kept suppressing himself. Originally, the examiner should relax a little bit for the answer that was passable in his assessment, but when it comes to Mr. Yuan, he will be rejected directly. It was rejected, and he later spent a lot of effort to succeed in promotion.Is this a vendetta, is it so embarrassing yourself?
In Yuan Hongzhi's words, Mr. Yuan just didn't like him. He even doubted whether he was his descendant. I can't do small things well, and my heart suddenly becomes tense.

Yuan Tianqi's eyes quickly scanned the players on the field, frowning or smiling or plain.An elder who was walking with him was staring at him. When he saw Yuan Hongzhi, he wanted to flatter Yuan Tianqi and praise Yuan Hongzhi to bring him closer to the Yuan family, but he didn't expect to say anything. Yuan Hongzhi made frequent mistakes when exiting, and he swallowed the words that reached his throat.

"Elder Li, look, this is a good seedling!"

Hearing Yuan Tianqi praise someone so much, Elder Li, who was traveling with him, followed Yuan Tianqi's gaze, seeing that he was a young man in white clothes with a cropped head.

This person is Gao Sheng!

At this time, he was drawing a diagram of the third-level formation, and the whole set of movements carved dragons and painted phoenixes, flowing like clouds and flowing water.

One, two, ..., in a short time, he finished ten pictures, the speed is astonishing, and it seems that he has not failed.

Gao Sheng's abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of the contestants present. Many people stopped their work to watch him sculpt, and some even stared blankly at the sculpting to the point where they suddenly lost their minds and failed.

"How could it be, how could he be so strong? Is he a second-level formation master, a third-level formation master, or a fourth-level formation master? This kind of action is not simple." Thinking of what he said before, Yuan Hongzhi wondered Burning with anger, if the opponent doesn't have that strength, it's okay to be provocative. At most, he can humiliate him so that he can't hold his head up. But now the strength of the opponent is obviously beyond his expectations. This is really intolerable. If necessary, he can consider letting him go He disappears.

"This guy is really outstanding. He has drawn ten third-level formation diagrams in such a short period of time. How can he still have the level of a third-level formation mage. The key is that he is so young, he is really awesome!" Elder Li praised from the side.

"The key is his carving technique. The method of carving dragons and phoenixes should not be wrong." Yuan Tianqi pointed out the key point with sharp eyesight.

"No way, he is so young?" Yuan Tianqi said "the method of carving dragons and engraving phoenixes" is a difficult method in the formation of formations. The familiar movements are unbelievable.

"Sure enough, it's really a boy born from a hero!" Ma Yunteng, who was also on the field, saw the details of the whole process depicted by Gao Sheng more clearly than the two above Yuan Tianqi, and secretly praised him.

With the shining star of Gao Sheng, others will not pay too much attention to him. Ma Yunteng doesn't have to be so nervous, he can let go of his hands and feet to do it slowly, and start to move forward steadily from the second-level formation diagram.
