Chapter 159: 2nd Level Low-Grade Formation Master
Chapter 159: 2nd Level Low-Grade Formation Master
"Xiaobai, I'm relying on you for this journey!"
On the top of a towering mountain, Zhang Chentian sat steadily on the back of a majestic white tiger, lowered his head and spoke softly.
"Roar! (Okay, Boss, we'll definitely reach the Royal City within 20 days.)"
After receiving Zhang Chentian's order, Xiaobai raised his head and let out a long roar, the sound resounding through the sky.
Suddenly, a pair of huge wings spread out on both sides of its body. They were as hard as steel and flashed with cold light.
Then, Xiaobai flapped his wings and flew towards the distant royal city with Zhang Chentian.
During the flight, Zhang Chentian was not idle. He used this precious time to directly enter the Jiuxuan Star Tower and began to concentrate on studying the art of formation.
In the past few years, Zhang Chentian has been constantly fighting and running around, and has almost no free time to learn the art of formation.
Now, he has nearly two hundred days to spend in the Jiuxuan Star Tower, so he naturally cannot miss this opportunity.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain when I report to the Formation Master Guild.
In the outside world, Xiaobai possesses a powerful strength that is not weaker than that of the middle stage of the Danhua realm, and ordinary people dare not provoke him easily.
Moreover, they deliberately chose to cross the mountains and forests, so that the probability of encountering other humans would be greatly reduced.
Inside the Jiuxuan Star Tower, Zhang Chentian sat quietly on a cushion, holding a thick book on the complete explanation of formations in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, he raised his head, turned his gaze to the small tower floating in the air, and asked:
"Xiaota, do you think it's possible for me to become a first-class, superior formation master within this period of time?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaota laughed and scolded:
"Can you be more confident? With the guidance of this Saint Formation Master, coupled with your powerful mental strength that is about to break through to the late Xuan Realm, these two hundred days are enough for you to break through to the second-level lower-grade formation master."
Hearing Xiaota's affirmative answer, Zhang Chentian couldn't help but show a hint of joy, but still asked with some uncertainty:
"Is it really possible? I've only just started learning about formations..."
Xiaota shook his head helplessly and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, with my guidance, as long as you're not too stupid, you can do it."
Zhang Chentian chuckled and said flatteringly to Xiaota:
"Don't worry, Master Saint Array Master, I will definitely study hard. If there is anything I don't understand, please bear with me."
Seeing this, Xiaota waved his hand and said casually:
"Alright, alright, you're my new master!"
In the following days, Zhang Chentian devoted himself to the study of "The Complete Explanation of Formations".
For most common formations, as long as there are enough spirit stones as support, they can be successfully arranged.
Fortunately, Zhang Chentian happened to have no shortage of spirit stones.
The number of spirit stones he originally possessed was already quite considerable, and with the addition of the large number of spirit stones looted from the barbarians he killed, the total was at least more than two million low-grade spirit stones.
I can’t spend it all! I can’t spend it all!
Under the guidance of Xiaota, Zhang Chentian began to learn how to set up the formation from scratch.
He carefully studied the principles and composition of various formations and practiced them continuously.
He started with simple defensive formations and gradually mastered more complex offensive and auxiliary formations.
Three months later, Zhang Chentian was basically able to set up all formations below the second level.
If the people in the Formation Master Guild knew about this, they would definitely be shocked, but this really happened to Zhang Chentian.
Now, he has successfully been promoted to a first-class top-grade formation master.
Boom!
"Hey, Xiaota, why did you hit me again!" Zhang Chentian covered his head and shouted with a look of grievance.
"How dare you ask? Take a look at what kind of formation you've set up. If you keep going like this, it will take you forever to become a second-level formation master."
Xiaota said unhappily.
"What did I do wrong? I clearly arranged it according to what was written in the book!"
Zhang Chentian muttered softly.
"Books, books, books! You only know books! The art of formations is vast and profound, requiring flexible application and innovation. If you only know how to recite from books without being able to adapt, then you will never be able to become a true formation master."
Xiaota looked at Zhang Chenqi and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I understand..."
Zhang Chentian replied helplessly. Recently, similar scenes had frequently played out within the Nine Profound Star Tower, and Zhang Chentian had long been numb to the scolding from the little tower.
(Just like the readers in their third year of high school)
However, this also allowed Zhang Chentian to gain a lot. He learned a lot of things that were not in the books, and Zhang Chentian also enjoyed it.
As time went on, Zhang Chentian's formation skills improved significantly.
He can flexibly use various formations according to different situations, and can also create some unique first-level formations.
These innovations not only improved his strength, but also gave him his own characteristics in the field of formations.
However, Zhang Chentian was not satisfied with this. He knew very well that to become a true formation master, he needed to constantly explore and break through himself.
Therefore, he decided to ask Xiaota for knowledge about the second-level formation.
Although it is recorded in the book, it is obviously not comparable to Xiaota's teachings.
Xiaota also generously taught Zhang Chentian everything he knew.
The second-level formation is not as simple as the first-level formation...
"Chentian, don't let yourself get upset and cry later!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chentian just rolled his eyes.
Then Xiaota explained the basic principles and components of the second-order formation to Zhang Chentian, and laughed out loud after he finished speaking:
"Well, you're stupid, right? Just figure it out slowly!"
Zhang Chentian gritted his teeth, but was helpless. As for why, it was because Xiaota spoke too fast and he didn't quite understand.
Of course, this is also because Xiaota doesn't want him to have too much pressure, and wants to let him relax and create some small episodes.
In order to help Zhang Chentian better understand, the small tower created various virtual formation demonstrations in its internal space for Zhang Chentian to learn.
After watching it, Zhang Chentian always accidentally drew the wrong rune when practicing drawing, and Tower Spirit would tease him:
"What is this you're drawing? Is it a picture of chickens pecking at rice?"
Zhang Chentian was so angry that his face turned red.
Once, Zhang Chentian was about to complete a complicated formation and was feeling proud of it when the tower spirit suddenly said:
"Oops, there's a caterpillar (not just any caterpillar) at your feet, be careful!"
Zhang Chentian was so frightened that he shuddered, all his previous efforts were wasted, and he was so angry that he jumped up and down.
But Zhang Chentian was no pushover either. Occasionally he would pretend not to understand Ta Ling's explanation, which made Ta Ling so anxious that he would stamp his feet.
Although the process was full of such episodes, Zhang Chentian still demonstrated great talent and diligence.
He studied day and night, constantly trying and improving.
On the 137th day of learning the formation, Xiaota challenged Zhang Chentian to set up a second-level formation in a real scene.
As a result, after Zhang Chentian had arranged it, a gust of wind blew and the formation was dispersed. The tower spirit laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist:
"This formation of yours can be blown away by the wind, haha!"
Having said that, Xiaota is still very concerned about Zhang Chentian's studies.
In order to improve Zhang Chentian's spiritual perception and control capabilities, the small tower guides him to absorb specific spiritual objects.
Time passed quickly, and after this period of hard study filled with laughter and playfulness, Zhang Chentian finally mastered the various techniques and variations of the second-level formation.
He was able to quickly arrange exquisite second-level formations according to different needs and scenarios, and successfully advanced to a second-level low-grade formation master.
Although Xiaota was still harsh in his words, he was proud of Zhang Chentian in his heart.
