After Elder Liu finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and fifteen jade slips suddenly appeared out of thin air and flew towards Lin Chen and other fifteen people participating in the competition.
Lin Chen reached out and grabbed the jade slip that flew in front of him.
After his spiritual thoughts touched the jade slip, he discovered that the space inside the jade slip was like a white wall, and he could use his spiritual thoughts to carve marks on it.
"The methods of breaking formations are often extremely complicated. If you write them down with pen and paper, it will take a long time and countless pieces of paper. It is much easier to use your spiritual thoughts to carve them in the space of this jade slip." General Lin Chen said.
The thoughts are withdrawn from the jade slip, but not directly into the mind, but the surrounding area is covered with spiritual thoughts. Compared with the naked eye, the efficiency of using spiritual thoughts to observe this "life and death formation" will be much faster, and also
can observe more
in detail.
Other members participating in the competition, like Lin Chen, released their spiritual thoughts to cover the area covered by the "Life and Death Array".
"The first way to crack it is here!"
Soon, someone's eyes lit up, they shouted in surprise, and then they used their spiritual thoughts to carve the newly discovered cracking method into the jade slip.
Although Ke Yuzhu, Ming Hongbo and others did not speak, they had already taken action, and their spiritual thoughts were engraved on the jade slips.
In this first test, the competition is not about who can find a way to crack the "Life and Death Annihilation Formation", but who can find more ways to crack it! "Hey! There is a fourth cracking method! This is
The 'Life and Death Annihilation Array' seems to be a very common one in the high-grade holy array. There are quite a few ways to crack it, and it is not difficult to see. The key is, who can use all the ways to crack it?
You can see it all."
A smile appeared on Guo Yang's face, and he carved the fourth cracking method he had just discovered into the jade slip.
He was suddenly stunned, and then a confident smile appeared on his face. He looked in the direction of the high platform and met the eyes of his master, Zou Wei.
He nodded to Wei Zou, and then looked at Lin Chen with a sneer on his face.
Just now, Zou Wei had already told him about the bet between him and Ming Hongbo, the master of Yunhai Peak. "Although this guy's soul has reached the peak of the Holy Realm, he got someone else's because of his bad luck."
Only with the soul energy can he reach this point. In the formation, his foundation must not be solid! When it comes to the ability to break the formation,
Let alone comparing him to me, even Nie Huan is much better than him!"
"Yan Tingbo actually thinks that his performance in the preliminary examination can be better than mine. It's simply inexplicable!"
Guo Yang sneered coldly, expressing disapproval.
Nie Huan is another person participating in the competition at Xuyang Peak. In the late stage of Soul Saint Realm, his attainments in formations are one level behind Guo Yang.
Guo Yang was very jealous of Lin Chen's good luck in getting an unexpected encounter.
However, precisely because Lin Chen's soul level was obtained from adventures, he and others, including Ke Yuzhu, Ming Hongbo, etc., thought that Lin Chen was not good at the basics of formations and felt that Lin Chen did not compete with them.
Qualifications.
Time passes minute by minute...
The sun climbed to the middle and then slowly set in the west. The glow enveloped the Xingluo Mountains and reflected on the sea of clouds. Everything was like a dream, like an ancient scroll...
On the venue where the competition was held, everyone stood quietly, looking at the fifteen people participating in the competition, and no one showed any impatience on their faces.
Those who can succeed in cultivating the Tao are all able to endure loneliness, and no one who can become a disciple of Xingluo Sect is an ordinary person.
It's just that Lin Chen is too outstanding, so many unusual people become ordinary when they come in front of him.
"Four and a half hours have passed, and the time is coming soon!" Elder Liu said slowly.
His voice fell, and among the people participating in the competition, some had sweat on their foreheads, looking like they were in deep contemplation under great pressure, while others looked confident, such as Ke Yuzhu and Ming Hongbo.
Lin Chen's face was indifferent, neither happy nor sad. He was still using his spiritual thoughts to observe every detail of this "life and death annihilation array". "This 'life and death annihilation array' has a total of nine gates of life and nine gates of death.
And the nine gates of life represent the nine ways of life, which means nine ways to crack it. I have carved all nine ways to crack it into the jade slip. I think there should be no problem.
.”
Lin Chen murmured to himself.
At this moment, he had the aura of a wise man, as if he knew everything, and no detail seemed to escape his eyes!
next moment.
Suddenly his heart was shaken.
"No! There are nine gates to life, nine gates to death... nine gates to death! I understand!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Lin Chen's face, but he did not say what he understood, but his spiritual thoughts poured into the jade slip again.
A while passed again.
"The five hours are up!"
Elder Liu gave a soft drink and grabbed his right hand in front of him.
An invisible wave of energy surged out in all directions, and immediately, fifteen jade slips flew towards him in an instant, and fell into his hands in the blink of an eye.
These jade slips already had their aura when Lin Chen and others carved their marks with their spiritual thoughts, so there was no need to worry about getting them mixed up.
"This Elder Liu is so powerful! He is at least the ninth level of Xiaoyao Realm, or the level of Saint Realm! Xingluo Sect is really a behemoth with terrifying background!"
Originally, Lin Chen's jade slip was held in his palm, but Elder Liu grabbed it from the air, and the jade slip flew directly out of Lin Chen's hand. He didn't even have time to react, and only now did he understand how powerful Elder Liu was.
Strong.
He was glad in his heart that fortunately, the leader of the Xingluo Sect did not really want to pry into his secrets, otherwise, he would have been in trouble.
After the jade slips were taken away, everyone looked at Elder Liu.
They all became a little nervous, and then it was time to announce the rankings.
"Senior Brother Ming, how many solutions are there to this 'Life and Death Array'?"
Shan Ming looked at Ming Hongbo and asked.
He was also at the peak of the Soul Saint Realm, but he knew that he was far inferior to Ming Hongbo, so he was very convinced of Ming Hongbo and believed that what Ming Hongbo said must be the total number of methods to break the "Life and Death Array".
"Nine types!" Ming Hongbo said calmly.
"Senior Sister Ke?" Chao Tian, who was at Chaowu Peak, looked at Ke Yuzhu beside him.
"Nine types. This formation has nine vitalities and nine ways to break it." Ke Yuzhu said calmly.
After hearing that Ming Hongbo and Ke Yuzhu both said that there were nine ways to crack the formation, everyone regarded the nine ways to crack it as the total number of ways to crack it.
"What I have carved on the jade slip are eight ways to crack it. Senior Sister Bike is a little behind, but if you pass the preliminary test, it will definitely not be a problem." Chao Tianze said with a smile.
On the other side of Hanxiao Peak, Shan Ming also smiled and said, "I also carved eight kinds!"
However, there are also some people who look unhappy. It should be that the engraved method to crack it is far from the nine.
"Hahaha! I also carved eight types. If you pass the preliminary test, there will be no problem!" Guo Yang laughed. He did not think about competing with these two monsters Ke Yuzhu and Ming Hongbo.
"What I carved are seven ways to crack it!"
Xia Xichan looked a little worried, then she looked at Lin Chen and said, "Lin Chen, how many kinds have you carved? Is it eight kinds?"
Except for the two leaders, Ke Yuzhu and Ming Hongbo, the rest of the Soul Saint Realm's peaks were basically carved with eight methods of cracking. Xia Xichan felt that Lin Chen should also belong to this level.
"No." Lin Chen shook his head.
"No? Could it be that you only carved seven kinds?" Xia Xichan looked surprised.
"No." Lin Chen shook his head.
Xia Xichan said in surprise, "Nine kinds?"
Lin Chen still shook his head.
At this time, Xia Xichan was dumbfounded. Her face slowly became bitter, and her eyes became dim and disappointed.
Not nine, not eight, not seven! Doesn't that mean that Lin Chen only saw five or six ways to crack it? Or, even less?
