Chapter 301 [Complete the goal ahead of time] (two in one)
"yes."
Tang Mubai blinked, "Isn't this test the 'Sword Mountain Fire Sea Formation'?"
"No...it's not..."
The corner of the fat uncle's mouth twitched, "For the test in front of the dining hall, the formations arranged were basically a few small maze formations. The 'Mountain of Swords and Sea of Fire' formation has not been used for a long time. It was a test set for the disciples. If you want to
It will take at least half a day to a day to pass. Young man, you are very talented in formations. You actually passed the 'Mountain of Swords and Sea of Fire' formation in just fifteen minutes!"
At the end of the sentence, the fat uncle raised his thumbs on both hands.
After hearing this, Tang Mubai chuckled and said, "So it seems that Mr. Song is deliberately taking care of me."
"This..." The fat uncle smiled and did not answer.
Going into the "Mountain of Swords and Sea of Fire" formation for the first time is indeed a bit too much.
It's simply making things difficult for people.
It's just that the fat uncle and Mr. Song are on the same position, so it's inappropriate to speak for Tang Mubai.
Although the fat uncle is also curious, why did Mr. Song let Tang Mubai go through the "Mountain of Swords and Sea of Fire" formation?
Little did I know.
Mr. Song was shocked again at this moment.
Tang Mubai actually broke through the "Mountain of Swords and Sea of Fire" array with ease!
This young man seems to be a real genius, a future formation master!
Especially this expert, who came from a self-study master.
When he thought of this, Mr. Song couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
For such a genius, the "mountain of swords and sea of fire" formation is not enough, and the original plan seems to have changed.
…
In the end, only three people ate this meal in the evening.
Tang Mubai, Bei Xiaobei, Chu Xiangkou.
Hua Youfei and Zhong Xuan failed to pass through the small maze ten times, so they had to give up.
The next day, what Tang Mubai learned was immediately different from that of Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou.
Mr. Song took Tang Mubai directly into a basement and asked Tang Mubai to start setting up the formation.
These are the ninety formations that have been memorized.
As for formations, it's not useful to memorize the patterns. You have to actually lay them out and produce effects to truly understand them.
After all, there are too many factors that affect the formation.
Environment, weather, geography, interference from living creatures, etc.
If you want to master a formation, you have to adapt to the various possible changes in the formation.
The basement that Tang Mubai entered had this ability.
Because Master Xiu arranged a simulated operation auxiliary formation!
In the simulated formation, the formations arranged will encounter various changes, and Tang Mubai has to deal with them in time until he adapts to them all.
Therefore, it took a lot of time to simulate the layout within the array.
For Tang Mubai, it took him a full day to master all the ninety formation changes.
But in the eyes of others, they were confused and shocked.
There are ninety formations in one day, and this is four formations in one hour?
Although Tang Mubai did not rest for a day and a night.
But this record is too scary, right?
The four of them, Bei Xiaobei, Hua Youfei, Zhong Xuan, and Chu Xiangkou, were so frightened that they stopped talking. Compared to Tang Mubai, the four of them were idiots, and they were incomparable.
Mr. Song was shocked and filled with ecstasy.
The more prominent Tang Mubai is, the more excited he becomes.
At this point, he no longer hid the secret from Tang Mubai. Master Xiu had been in retreat for more than half a month, studying advanced formations.
This is not the first time for this kind of retreat. It happens almost every few months and lasts for one month at a time.
Therefore, Master Xiu did not show up to meet Tang Mubai and the five others.
It's not that Master Xiu is cold and pretentious, but that he really doesn't have time.
Tang Mubai understood this.
It's useless if you don't understand. Compared with a few new apprentices, there is no doubt that retreat to understand advanced formations is more important.
Anyway, before becoming a formal disciple, I cannot follow Master Xiu.
After the simulated formation was completed, Mr. Song took Tang Mubai to break into the formation.
This time the formation is no longer a simple confusion formation, illusion formation, or trap formation, but a killing formation!
Although it is not really serious, if you are injured, you will still vomit blood, bruise the skin, break bones... but it will not be fatal.
Song Lao's purpose was to let Tang Mubai taste the power of the killing formation.
See the secrets, operation methods, and control techniques of the real killing array.
Only those who have experienced the baptism of the killing formation can remain in awe of the formation.
This process is also the most testing of people's hearts.
Although the maze formations, phantom formations, etc. in the front are relatively stimulating and the pain can be felt, which is enough to look fake and real, they will not hurt anyone in the end.
The killing array is different. It's a lighter one with broken skin and vomiting blood, but a more serious one with amputated hands and feet.
People who are too intimidating and whose character is not firm enough will be completely frightened and will fear the formation from now on, let alone continue to learn or stay.
This is the final test before becoming a disciple. If you pass it, you can officially become a disciple of Master Xiu.
Tang Mubai's progress was too fast and too high, so Mr. Song had no choice but to take this step.
As a result, Tang Mubai was "successfully" stopped.
In Mr. Song's eyes, Tang Mubai finally stopped after charging into the killing array.
However, in fact, Tang Mubai discovered a surprising scene.
The power of the killing array also increases from small to large. Tang Mubai easily broke through the small killing array in front of him without using too much force. He relied on evasion and advance exploration, and then avoided it.
But the killing array encountered later became more and more powerful.
One of the killing formations, the moment Tang Mubai discovered it——
[The incomplete secret manual "Six Disk Formation Sutra" was discovered. Will it take 500 years of life to complete it? 】
Secret book? "Six Disk Formation Sutra"?
Tang Mubai almost screamed at that time.
He read so many formation books, but the system didn't respond.
Obviously, most low-level formations do not catch the eye of the system.
Only this "Six Pan Formation Sutra" counts!
And it seems that the "Six Disk Formation Sutra" is quite good, and it will take 500 years of life to complete it.
After the surprise, Tang Mubai replied "yes" and spent 500 years of his life to complete the "Six Pan Formation Sutra".
After roughly feeling it in his mind, Tang Mubai found that the "Six Disk Formation Sutra" was very advanced and contained a lot of content.
The 360 types of formation patterns given by Master Xiu, the most complex ones, all come from the "Six Pan Formation Sutra".
It includes confusing formations, trapping formations, phantom formations, killing formations... almost all types of formations.
The most powerful one is undoubtedly the "Six Sword Formation". As long as six four-turn spiritual swords are used as the base of the formation and the formation is used, the master can kill Xiantian!
At the master level, if you have enough energy and blood and strong mental strength, you can also kill innates.
The power of the "Six Sword Formation" shows its tyranny.
For this reason, Tang Mubai was sincerely happy to obtain the "Six Pan Formation Sutra" accidentally.
[Do you want to spend 100 years of your life to understand the "Six Pan Formation Sutra"? 】
"yes!"
[Should we consume 2900 years of life to upgrade the "Six Disk Formation Sutra" to the fourth level? 】
"yes!"
[Do you want to consume 2,500 years of life to upgrade the "Six Disk Formation Sutra" to the fifth level? 】
"yes!"
Next, Tang Mubai did not continue.
Life is not enough!
There are nine levels in total in the "Six Pan Sword Formation Sutra". If you master them all, even if you are not a spiritual weapon, you can still master powerful power when you use the "Six Pan Sword Formation".
Of course, the reason why a formation is a formation is that it needs to be laid out and successfully sacrificed before it can have power.
If it cannot be lifted up and the arrangement is interrupted, it is all in vain.
At this point, Tang Mubai cannot guarantee that he will never go on a business trip.
It's okay to ambush in advance, but to sacrifice the "Six Sword Formation" on the spot. Is it stupid to be an opponent?
Moreover, mastering all of the "Six Disk Formation Sutra" consumes so much life, so one can imagine how complicated it is.
Tang Mubai believed that Master Xiu would go into seclusion every few months.
It is the "Six Pan Formation Sutra" that I have comprehended!
Whether it is the complete "Six Pan Formation Sutra" cannot be guaranteed.
He has a system and has only reached the fifth level after spending thousands of years of life.
Master Xiu cannot master them all unless his talent for formations is incredibly high.
But if he really mastered it, why would he need to shut up?
Tang Mubai secretly laughed evilly at this.
After carefully comprehending the "Six Disk Formation Sutra" on the fifth floor, Tang Mubai suddenly discovered that the strong man's underground palace entrance formation in the underground space where the gem dragon lived had already developed a preliminary strategy to crack it. All strategies needed to be implemented on the spot again
Only after seeing it can you judge.
But Tang Mubai's intuition told him that it was absolutely possible!
Under the stimulation of "Sacred Heart Channel", this intuition is very high.
Therefore, Tang Mubai's goal of coming here has been achieved!
There is no need to wait for Master Xiu to come out of seclusion and become the other party's official disciple.
Thinking about it carefully, it's just a good time to quit now.
If he really wanted to become Master Xiu's official disciple, Tang Mubai would be too deeply involved with Master Xiu.
As long as Master Xiu didn't kick Tang Mubai out, Tang Mubai would have to listen to Master Xiu to a certain extent.
After all, there is a master-disciple relationship!
The name of a traitor is really unpleasant.
In Tang Mubai's original plan, he never thought about actually becoming a disciple of Master Xiu and adding a restraining hat to his head.
Tang Mubai's original plan was to sneak in first, and then find an opportunity to obtain several advanced formation patterns. He even sneaked into Master Xiu's secret room, secretly learned the formations to crack the entrance to the underground palace, and then left immediately.
Now that the task is completed, even more perfectly, it can be over.
However, you have to find a better excuse for refusing.
Mr. Song was a little strict with him, but his original intention was for Tang Mubai's benefit and he wanted to see where Tang Mubai's limits were.
In addition, given the relationship between Lu Zhaoyuan and Master Xiu, it is somewhat unreasonable to withdraw directly.
After thinking again and again, Tang Mubai came up with a solution that was not a solution.
Take the initiative to find Mr. Song and ask to participate in all apprenticeship assessments.
Only if you complete everything within three days can you become an apprentice.
This step was omitted before, but Tang Mubai had easy excuses. He didn't want outsiders to gossip that Master Xiu ignored the rules he had set and broke them at will.
When Mr. Song thought about Tang Mubai's ability, he agreed.
As a result, of course Tang Mubai deliberately delayed time.
That's right, it's not that it can't be completed, but that it takes longer to pass.
Tang Mubai's ability in the past three days has been too strong. It is unreasonable to say that he cannot pass a few simple formations.
But it took too long and the explanation was there.
In particular, Tang Mubai also mastered the content through the "Six Pan Formation Sutra" and deliberately increased the difficulty.
It was a phantom formation that was used as a deception. You had to find a few eggs scattered in the formation to count it as a success.
It was originally a double blinding method, but Tang Mubai deliberately added another layer.
It becomes a triple blind eye!
As a result, the time required to break the formation was extended, and Mr. Song had nothing to say.
Tang Mubai, who has mastered the five levels of knowledge in the "Six Pans Formation Sutra", might be able to see something strange when Master Xiu himself was present when he changed the formations.
But Mr. Song can't.
It wasn't until he checked afterward that he realized he had made a mistake.
For a moment, I felt annoyed, speechless, bitter, disbelieving, and full of unwillingness.
"This is an accident, Xiao Tang, this is an accident!"
Mr. Song was unwilling to give in. He pulled Tang Mubai, first criticizing himself, and then comforting and explaining, "This is my fault. It was an accident caused by my negligence. We can do it again!"
"But the time has passed." Tang Mubai also sighed, "Three days have already passed. If you do it again, it will be against the regulations."
"This..." Mr. Song was dumbfounded, mad and regretful, and raised his hand to give himself a slap.
"Don't!"
Tang Mubai stopped him first and persuaded him, "Mr. Song, don't be like this. This is not your fault. It can only be said that I was unlucky and did not have the fate to be a disciple of Master Xiu. Moreover, I was also wrong. If I had worked harder,
I can still complete the task within the time limit. I didn’t think too much, and I accidentally left out the last step. I waited until I found the problem and came back to solve it, and the time was exceeded.”
"So, after all, my problem is bigger and has nothing to do with you, Mr. Song."
"But……"
"No need to," Tang Mubai interrupted, "Rules are rules. If I break Master Xiu's rules just because of me, who else will abide by them in the future? If word spreads, who else will care about Master Xiu's face?"
Mr. Song was silent.
Yes, Master Xiu's face is undoubtedly more important than Tang Mubai.
Prepare apprentice, apprentice, disciple.
This step-by-step path to advancement is itself a rule set by Master Xiu in order to balance the forces of all parties.
Anyone who fails to meet the conditions will be eliminated, and no one has anything to say.
If it was destroyed because of Tang Mubai, how would Master Xiu face other people in the future?
Mr. Song is a follower of Master Xiu, and he should stand by Master Xiu's side.
But in this case, it would be a pity for Tang Mubai, a talented disciple!
"Why……"
Sighing heavily, Mr. Song said feebly, "How about, Xiao Tang, you wait in Xuanfeng City, and when Master Xiu comes out of seclusion, I will discuss it with him? Try to find a better way?"
"Well, I don't think it's necessary." Tang Mubai explained, "Didn't you say, Mr. Song, that the apprentice level will be eliminated? After I go back, I will learn the formation by myself and become famous throughout the city. Master Xiu will not be able to recruit me as a disciple?"
"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Mr. Song slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's right, Xiao Tang, with your talent in formation, you will definitely be able to make your city famous within a year after you go back! Okay, okay, great!"
I almost forgot about this rule!"
Speaking of rising, Mr. Song kept spinning in circles.
Tang Mubai also smiled in cooperation.
Deep down in his heart, he shook his head secretly.
With his current formation ability, he can indeed become famous in Hongye City within a year.
But here's the key point.
We must use the ability of the formation to make Hongye City famous.
It’s not Tang Mubai’s power!
As long as Tang Mubai does not set up formations within this year, and others do not know his formation abilities, this special rule set by Master Xiu will be in vain!
