the first god

Chapter 378 Other Purposes
"Elder Yuan, look at the man in the black cloak, although his performance is not as exaggerated as that of the cropped young man, he is really good."

"Well, this batch is of good quality, good seedlings!" Yuan Tianqi cherishes talent, knowing that with his aptitude for the rest of his life, he may not be able to break through the sixth-level formation master, so he spends a lot of energy on cultivating future generations of talents, especially for Yuan Hongzhi. , although he is a bit stricter on weekdays, he also has the highest expectations. It's just that although Hongzhi is talented, he still lacks in character.

"Huh?" Ma Yunteng noticed that someone noticed him, and the movements of his hands suddenly slowed down, wondering if he was too dazzling, "No, I have to let go, and my performance is worse."

Just over half of the time at this time, the second-level formation map in Ma Yunteng's hand has almost been depicted, but because he is a fifth-level formation master, he can naturally do various low-level tasks quickly, and the success rate is still quite high. There is not a single failure in the second-level formation map. If it is someone else, there will be at least one or two mistakes. Even Yuan Hongzhi and Bai Yuxi are inevitable, except for one person, that is Gao Sheng, can one of the ten third-level formation diagrams be accurately depicted, and the second-level ones will be wrong?

"No, I have to deliberately sell some loopholes here." There are only five second-level formation diagrams left. The front is too serious, and it is wrong to make mistakes in the back. One piece was completely scrapped.

"Hey, I made a mistake. I thought there would be another formation genius monster, but I didn't expect it to be so close. It seems that he is a little tired. After all, the power of the soul is consumed so much." On the stage, Elder Li couldn't help sighing. With a sound, I stared at Ma Yunteng for a long time without making any mistakes. I didn't expect that there would be a mistake at the end. After all, the heat is not enough, but it is right to think about it carefully. After all, those young people with short hair are still a minority and they are hard to come by. Wouldn't it be a rotten cabbage if anyone was so powerful and a genius?

"Hey?" Yuan Tianqi also noticed Ma Yunteng, and felt a little unbelievable when he saw his failure. According to his state just now, he shouldn't have made a mistake. He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't say it like Elder Li, thinking in his heart what.

With Ma Yunteng's failure, Yuan Hongzhi was relieved. At first he thought that there would be another promotion, but in the end it turned out that he was overthinking. It seems that the shadow caused by Gao Sheng is really not small, and he still has lingering fears.

"Can't it work?" Ma Yunteng thought to himself, the carving knife in his hand made a mistake again, a corner of the stone slab was cracked, and another one failed!

"Crack!" Ma Yunteng put down the carving knife in his hand and stopped to calm down. He patted his face lightly, pretending to be trying to stay calm.

After stopping for a few breaths, Ma Yunteng's previous panic disappeared and he regained his composure and continued to portray. There were three pictures left, one of which failed.

Now it's time to draw the third-level formation diagram. Compared with the second-level formation diagram, the speed has slowed down a lot, and there was a mistake during the period.

"Well, this man in the cloak is not bad. Although he made a small mistake during the period, his overall performance is still in the forefront." Elder Li continued to watch Ma Yunteng's movements, appreciating and praising him.

An hour passed in a hurry, and at the order of the referee Elder Liu, everyone stopped the carving knives in their hands, and put the carved stone slab aside for inspection.

In this round of drawing the formation map, less than 500 people passed the 64 people, and a few of them gave up the competition because they knew they could not get good results. Only [-] people entered the second round.

Among them, the top performers are as follows:

Gao Sheng successfully drew [-] second-level formation diagrams and ten third-level formation diagrams, a total of [-] formation diagrams, ranking first.

Bai Yuxi successfully portrayed 94 second-level formation diagrams and four third-level formation diagrams, a total of 98, ranking second.

Ma Yunteng, successfully portrayed 93 second-level formation diagrams and three third-level formation diagrams, a total of 96 pieces, of which one third-level formation diagram was not portrayed due to lack of time, which is considered a strange one in the promotion, ranking third.

Yuan Hongzhi, who was originally ambitious, could only rank fourth, only depicting 91 second-level formation diagrams and two third-level formation diagrams, a total of 93 diagrams.

"Oops, going on like this is not good for me, I have to get back a victory in the next round." How can such a result satisfy him, if he continues with this ranking, he will be No. 3 can't get in, so I have to think of other ways.

When the results came out, Elder Liu led the 64 people who had successfully advanced to go out for the second round of the competition - the offensive and defensive battle of formations.

After they left, Yuan Tianqi stayed at the end and came to Ma Yunteng's place to pick up his failed slate to inspect.
"Strange, why on earth is this?" I was puzzled, the carving knife should not be like this, unless he did it on purpose, but why did he do it?

With doubts, Yuan Tianqi walked to the scene of the second round of the competition, feeling a little curious about Ma Yunteng in his heart, and all questions should wait for himself to observe again.

In front of the main hall of the Array Mage Association, this is the venue for the second round of the selection competition. The space is wide enough for every contestant to give full play, and there is no need to worry too much. The super defensive formation can't make any waves now.

In the second round of duels, two-two battles, one attack and one defense, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated to enter the defeat match.In the first two rounds, the top four in the first round did not meet each other and passed smoothly, but when it came to the final of [-], an accident happened:
Yuan Hongzhi faced Gao Sheng!

"It's over, why did I meet this guy?" Yuan Hongzhi cursed in his heart. Now he only has two third-level formation maps in his hand and the opponent has ten. Even if his formation ability is far better than the opponent's, the gap is not that big It's easy to make up for, and the opponent's formation is really weaker than your own?
As for Yuan Hongzhi's confrontation with Gao Sheng, Elder Liu also had a look of helplessness: when he expected the result of the assignment, he wanted to secretly use means to stagger the duel between the two, but with Mr. Yuan right here, he didn't dare to take the risk of angering the other party, anyway. It has nothing to do with Yuan Hongzhi's failure to make it through. Even if he loses face, it will also embarrass their Yuan family's face, so he didn't intervene.

"Master Yuan's family may miss the top eight this time!"

"Yes, this time it's out of order."

"No, no, no, not only that, but the opponent's strength is also very strong. Let's not talk about the monster-like strength of the young man with a cut head, but Miss Bai and the man in the cloak are both very strong, and there are many geniuses!"

...

The crowd on the sidelines also began to compare and comment on the test, speaking freely, expressing their opinions, but without exception, they were not pessimistic about Yuan Hongzhi. After all, he was facing the biggest dark horse in the game. !

"I reminded you before that you should pray that you don't meet me, but now it seems that you didn't take this sentence to heart!" Before the two started fighting, Gao Sheng had already made a provocative statement here, according to the crowd The masses said that the two met for the first time, so they felt like they had a blood feud, and Huo Xiaozi ignited the explosive barrel.

"Don't be too complacent, we don't know who will win the battle!" Yuan Hongzhi retorted, drawing the distance between the two of them and preparing to activate the formation for a duel.

However, Gao Sheng didn't immediately start preparing to set up the big formation. He took out eight third-level formation diagrams from his 100 yuan stone slab, so that he would be exactly the same as Yuan Hongdao.

"It's up to you to choose what you are good at, offense or defense?"

"What's the matter with this person? Why do you give up your advantage? Just to have a serious duel with the other party?"

"Yes, is this person overconfident or is he really stupid?"

Faced with Gao Sheng's move, everyone was puzzled, there are still such people in this world who harm themselves and benefit others?

"Okay, I'm worried that the young master of the Yuan family will be so overwhelmingly defeated by him. I didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant and conceited. It will save me a lot of effort." Elder Liu didn't dissuade him, he was secretly happy.

But Gao Sheng's move not only didn't make Yuan Hongzhi happy, but made him even more angry. Did he want to say that even if he was at the same level as himself, he could still beat him, and he was even in a disadvantaged state?
Tu Kejin, Gao Sheng chose the two attributes of thunder and water, while Yuan Hongzhi chose the two attributes of water and earth. In terms of attributes, Yuan Hongzhi should be better, but the opponent still looks confident , It makes people angry when they see it.

Crazy, it's too crazy!

"I will definitely crush your self-confidence into powder!" Yuan Hongzhi held back his anger and concentrated on preparations.

A spherical protective barrier with a radius of about three feet was opened, and the duel between the two officially began.

Pieces of stone slabs engraved with formation patterns floated in the air. Yuan Hongzhi quickly moved the slabs to the corresponding positions with both hands out of thin air. With him as the center, they were arranged into a nearly circular 64-sided formation. The stone slab of the formation map is used as the foundation of the formation to suppress it under the feet, and the true energy is injected into it to drive the slate.Soon there were soil and stone pillars, and water jets erupted from the stone slabs. The soil and water fused and stirred together, making a muddy paste, and the water and soil rolled violently and intertwined.

A small rock with a height of more than one foot rushed towards the giant, and the water flow was like a white silk wrapped around the giant's fist. It had no life, no emotion, no consciousness. It always only knew how to obey the master's orders, but it was a puppet that was quite human. born.

"I will attack first in this competition!" Yuan Hongzhi retreated to the back, letting the giant puppets fight by themselves.

At the same time, Gao Sheng had already set up the formation, and the lightning came down, and with the water gushing out from the stone slab, a giant blue dragon formed.

"Go on!"

Formation confrontation, the formation master does not need to and cannot take action himself.

The earth-rock giant stepped forward and punched the cyan dragon. The dragon broke in two immediately, the water scattered, and soon returned to its original shape. The dragon's body wrapped around the earth-rock giant, and its tail swept towards his feet. It smashed its legs and fell to the ground, but just like the water dragon, the earth and stone giant quickly recovered, stood up again and fought with it, and the battle was deadlocked.

"Did both sides use renewable formation monsters to fight? Interesting."

The water dragon released thunder and lightning to attack the earth and stone giant, but it had little effect. It blocked them all, and only broke some gravel, and the earth and stone giant was also tightly entangled by the water dragon and could not move.

"I won't play with you anymore, it's time to get rid of you!" Gao Sheng didn't have the patience to spend any more time with him, it was time to use his trump card.

The water dragon absorbs the water flowing around the hands of the earth giant and absorbs it for its own use.The earth-rock giant changed and wanted to break free from the shackles, but a thunderbolt blasted a big hole, and the whole dragon's head came out from this hole and penetrated into the earth-rock giant.

"Come on, this..." Yuan Hongzhi didn't expect that the other party would come to such an action to change and control the earth and rock giant by manipulating the formation, but it didn't help.

"It's useless, give up your useless struggle!"

Since the water dragon entered the interior of the earth giant, it has faintly cut off the connection between the earth giant and the formation. With a "cracking" sound, the earth giant began to appear cracks and continued to expand. With the thunder, the water overflowed, and the earth giant was completely disintegrated.

The earth and stone giant disintegrated, and the blue dragon was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that they also disappeared together?

"That move he wants to die together?" Although Yuan Hongzhi already had the answer in his heart, he still comforted himself. After all, he also knew how powerful his formation giant was, and it was not surprising that the opponent had nothing to do.

Soon, the water on the ground gathered together little by little, and there was a "cracking" thunder, and a giant blue dragon appeared again, and the last hope in Yuan Hongzhi's heart was also shattered.

"Losing?"

"Young master of the Yuan family missed the top eight?"

People talked a lot, although they were not optimistic before, but now the result is another matter. I didn't expect that the Yuanjing City Formation Family could not even enter the top eight on the first day, how can this not be shocking.

"I lost," Yuan Hongzhi languished, obediently admitting defeat, "I, Yuan Hongzhi, have written down this enmity, and one day I will get it back together with the profits!"

Even if he admits defeat, he still doesn't forget to say a harsh word, but Gao Sheng doesn't seem to pay much attention to it.
"A frog at the bottom of a well, only those with shallow knowledge will take their meager talent to be proud of it. No matter how hard you struggle, I will always be an obstacle you cannot overcome!"

"What an arrogant young man!" Hearing Gao Sheng's words, Elder Li snorted. Gao Sheng is a very talented person, but he is not pleasing either.

"Isn't it normal for young geniuses to have a temper? Real geniuses never flirt with you, because they have the capital!" Unlike Elder Li, Yuan Tianqi admired Gao Sheng very much, and he was full of praise.

Gao Sheng walked up to Ma Yunteng and Bai Yuxi, and said in a provocative tone, "The same applies to you. If you don't mind, I would like to have a duel with the two of you. What do you think?"

"I'll go, what the hell is Gao Sheng doing? Why is he biting people everywhere like a mad dog!" Ma Yunteng cursed secretly in his heart.

Before he targeted Yuan Hongzhi like that, Ma Yunteng thought it was because he couldn't understand the other party's behavior, but what he did now was different from Yuan Hongzhi's, and even worse.Did he want to defeat the many geniuses in Origin Crystal City and become famous in one fell swoop, or did he have some other purpose?
