After he finished speaking, Li Shenzhi waved his hand and took out a handful of small triangular flags, which were divided into five colors with different runes on them. He began to place the flags in various places on the arena.
But no matter how he arranged it, as long as the compass light and shadow on the ground were still turning, he could not form a formation.
At first, because of his lofty ambitions, people were full of expectations and waiting to see him slap Xing Tuozi in the face.
However, as time went on, Li Shenzhi failed more and more times, and consumed more and more materials for setting up the formation, but there was no effect. Some onlookers shook their heads, thinking it was boring, and turned to watch the competitions on other arenas.
Suddenly, the only people left around the arena were those from Tianyan Sect, the Zhuge family, the Five Sons of Guiyuan, Xie Jingshan, and a few people from Ruyi Sect on the other side of the arena.
Xing Tuozi was fiddling with a few copper coins in the corner of the ring, pinching his fingers from time to time, and no one knew what he was calculating.
Li Shenzhi was still concentrating on setting up the formation, probing here and stepping on there.
The two of them were like people from two different worlds. They didn't disturb each other and just did their own things. They were surprisingly harmonious and it didn't seem like they were fighting in a boxing match at all.
Jiang Yuebai leaned close to Lu Nanzhi's ear and whispered, "Anan, look at them, don't they look like an old man planting rice in the field and a young wife doing accounts at the end of the field?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter around Jiang Yuebai.
The two men on the ring stopped their actions at the same time and looked at Jiang Yuebai with the same speechless expression.
Jiang Yuebai chuckled, acting as if she hadn't said anything.
Not only were Jiang Yuebai and his group confused, but the people from Ruyi Gate also looked strange.
"Brother Xing, what are you doing? He's just an early Nascent Soul cultivator. He can be easily defeated without the Chaos Star Disk, right?"
"Yes, there is absolutely no need to use a weapon as powerful as the Chaos Star Disk."
"I'm afraid if we keep grinding like this, something unexpected will happen!"
"Not good, very bad, no matter how I calculate it, it's not good!"
At this time, Tang Weimian tugged at Jiang Yuebai's sleeve and asked her secretly, "Do you know how to break the Chaos Star Plate and successfully set up the formation?"
Jiang Yuebai had already thought of several ways. He tilted his head to Tang Weimian's ear and asked, "Have you heard of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array?"
Tang Weimian nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "I see, but with my senior brother's current ability, how could he possibly create such an immortal-level formation?"
Jiang Yuebai said slowly, "That's natural, but the principle behind it can be used as a reference, but it requires very strong computing power and insight, so I am a little worried."
Tang Weimian seemed to be thinking about something. Mu Wushuang said noisily, "In my opinion, why bother setting up a formation in this situation? Just rush up and deal with Xing Tuozi directly. As long as he loses, the Chaos Star Plate will be useless!"
When the quarter was almost up, Li Shenzhi straightened up, holding his old waist and looked at Xing Tuozi.
"You said it yourself. As long as I can form a formation, you lose."
Xing Tuozi paused as he was calculating and looked up.
Li Shenzhi shook his hair and said with a smile, "Then you better watch carefully!"
Li Shenzhi threw the chessboard out again, and the chessboard was suspended upside down in the air, as if two people were playing chess against each other. Li Shenzhi was multitasking, and black and white chess pieces appeared on the chessboard one after another.
The frequency of the chess pieces appearing vaguely coincides with the frequency of the compass turning on the ground, and as the number of chess pieces increases, the black and white pieces fight each other and the chess game keeps changing.
On the stage, the compass turned, the chess pieces clicked, and the light and shadow of runes appeared and disappeared, echoing with the heaven and the earth, and shining brightly.
Li Shenzhi's formation was successful!
This incredible scene shocked all the Ruyi Sect members below the stage, and even Xing Tuozi's eyes lit up.
"Good job, Li Shenzhi! You didn't bring shame to the brothers!"
Xie Jingshan shouted excitedly and clapped exaggeratedly in the audience.
Tang Weimian and Mu Wushuang were stunned. Mu Wushuang reacted quickly and murmured, "So that's how it is. I understand. This is a living formation!"
"According to ancient records, there is an immortal formation called the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation. The formation is arranged with the Zhou Tian Xing Dou as chess pieces. The stars are in motion all the time, which will cause the formation to change all the time. It is almost impossible to find a point to break the formation."
"This is a living formation. There is another kind of living formation, which is a fixed formation setting tool and a fixed formation location. After thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of changes, the formation spirit is nurtured. At that time, the formation is no longer a dead thing rooted in the ground. It has nature and life and becomes a living formation."
"This kind of living formation can only appear in the sects and family settlements that have existed since ancient times. Although the living formation that Li Shenzhi has set up at this moment is not one of these two, it has borrowed the basic rules of these two living formations. He uses chess pieces as stars and his own divine thoughts as the spirit of the formation. As long as the chess game keeps changing, the formation will keep changing as well."
"As for how he broke the Chaos Star Disk, it's also simple. The Chaos Star Disk seems to have disrupted the rules between heaven and earth, but it actually has its own internal rules. Every time the compass rotates a circle, the previously disrupted things will return to their original positions, and then be disrupted again."
"Xing Tuozi's ability is not enough, so every disruption is the same, not true disorder. Li Shen's head was planted on the ground before... Bah, setting up the formation is to explore the new rules after the disruption and calculate the changes."
"To put it simply, the Five Elements are running in front, and he is chasing behind. As long as he keeps the same speed as the Five Elements, then for him on the ring, the Five Elements are motionless. The same goes for the other elements in the formation. He can turn a living formation into a dead formation."
After Jiang Yuebai finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood and were amazed at Li Shenzhi's ability and admired Jiang Yuebai's erudition.
It seems that reading more is beneficial. Everyone secretly decided that in the future they should not only read books on their own sect, but also learn a little about other sects.
Otherwise, they will just look at others and not know what's so great about them. They can't all be like Xie Jingshan, clapping their hands without knowing anything, right
Comparing Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan, it is obvious that Jiang Yuebai is more handsome and more respected.
Xie Jingshan
He smiled like the silly son of a landlord.
Li Shenzhi laughed in his heart with his hands on his hips, but remained expressionless on the surface.
He thanked the heavens, thanked the earth, thanked Jiang Yuebai for forcing him to death without compensation, which made him read more books, and thanked his brother Xiao Wu for torturing him with a sea of questions every day, which made his computing power increase.
Otherwise, even if he thought of the living formation at the moment, he would not have the calculation power. Yes, he also has to thank Jiang Yuebai's "Spiritual and Soul Generating Thoughts Method". The two spiritual thoughts are used together to calculate, which is much faster!
Little did he know that over at the Jindan stage, Shi Xiaowu also met a Ruyi Sect disciple who liked to calculate everything, and in the end he won easily.
Xing Tuozi stood up, looked at the continuously shining array in the Chaos Star Disk, with a smile on his lips, and nodded slowly.
"As expected, the flaw in my Chaos Star Plate is right here!"
Li Shenzhi shook his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back.
"A qualified formation master never complains about the environment. If he cannot set up a formation, it is his own incompetence! This is the first lesson my master taught me!"
Hearing this, Mu Wushuang and Tang Weimian in the audience nodded in unison. This was indeed the first lesson Zhao Fuyi taught them.
Xing Tuozi raised his hand, and the compass flew back to his hand. He twisted his neck and said in a hoarse voice, "I admit defeat. You win this round. Goodbye."
Li Shen appeared relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside, and had been on guard secretly. He didn't expect that Xing Tuozi would actually keep his word.
"Is this true? You didn't trick me?"
To be on the safe side, Li Shenzhi took two steps back and added three layers of protective energy.
Xing Tuozi didn't even look at him. He hung the compass back on his waist, turned around, walked down the stage, walked into the crowd and gradually disappeared.
Li Shenzhi was confused, he stood up straight and muttered, "So it seems that I am not too unlucky?"
The people from Ruyi Gate looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not contribute much in the second round of the trial because they had decided from the beginning to keep themselves out of trouble and dig a hole to escape.
In the end, the only one who qualified for the competition was Xing Tuozi. If he lost, Ruyi Sect would completely lose the qualification to reach the Nascent Soul level of Qingyun Club.
In the next three hundred years, it will definitely fall out of the list of the top ten forces.
"Big Brother, wait for us!"
The disciples of Ruyi Sect caught up with Xing Tuozi and asked him why he gave in so easily.
Xing Tuozi paused, "This situation is a blessing with a curse. I, Xing Tuozi, cannot bear it. The only way to get out of this situation safely is to avoid chaos. It's like exploring a tomb to get treasure. If there are signs from heaven, we should get out when we should. Let's go and return to the Big Dipper Alliance immediately."
