A quarter of an hour later, Lu Mingyang arrived halfway up the Flame Mountain.
After a quarter of an hour of observation and searching, he finally found the key to cracking the formation.
It was a pit covered by magma, and it was also one of the four formation bases supporting the Flame Mountain formation.
Ordinary disciples, even if they knew that the formation base was under the magma pit, they would never dare to crack it.
Lu Mingyang also hesitated for a moment, and then used his true energy to shoot out the palm shadows and clean up all the dark red magma in the magma pit.
He used his palm skills again, blasting away the hard rocks at the bottom of the magma pit, and finally found the formation base.
It was a black disk as big as a basin, one of the four formation disks of the Flame Mountain Formation.
The formation disk is engraved with crisscross formation patterns, and there are more than a dozen dark red gems in the patterns.
If you think of this array as a chessboard, the dozen dark rubies are the chess pieces, and they are also the key to deciphering and manipulating the array.
"Haha, I guessed it right!"
"No matter how mysterious the formation is, it cannot escape my eyes. I am the genius of the formation!"
Lu Mingyang showed a proud smile and quickly lowered his head to observe the array.
After just a few breaths, he found a way to crack it. He confidently stretched out his fingers and vigorously moved several dark rubies on the array plate.
The layout of the array was changed, and the Flame Mountain also changed immediately.
From Lu Mingyang's feet to the top of the Flame Mountain, a path paved with dark brown rocks appeared.
There were no flames, no black smoke, and no red lava on the path!
A proud smile appeared on Lu Mingyang's lips, he stepped onto the rocky path and quickly headed towards the top of the mountain.
After a while, he reached the top of the Flame Mountain.
Only then did he see that directly opposite the Flame Mountain, about ten miles away, there was an ice-blue iceberg!
He immediately understood that if Ji Tianxing entered through the Ice Gate, he would definitely have to climb over the iceberg.
"Haha, Ji Tianxing can never be faster than me, the first place belongs to me!"
Lu Mingyang sneered and looked down at the foot of the Flame Mountain.
Between the Flame Mountain and the Iceberg is a plain area of ten miles in radius.
This area has green grassland, a golden desert, and a lake with clear water.
In the middle of the plain, a high platform made of marble can be vaguely seen.
Lu Mingyang stared at the high platform for a moment, then showed an expectant smile.
"It seems that everyone's identity tokens are placed on that high platform."
"I have to hurry up and I must not let Ji Tianxing get ahead of me!"
He quickly lowered his head and looked around, looking for the formation base on the top of the Flame Mountain.
With his previous experience, Lu Mingyang quickly found a formation base in the nearby magma pool.
He tried every means to clear the magma and found a formation disk at the bottom of the magma pool.
This formation disk is the same as the previous one, also covered with formation patterns, and there are more than a dozen dark rubies on the surface.
After Lu Mingyang vigorously moved a few dark rubies, the formation pattern of the Flame Mountain was changed.
The fire on the ground beneath him extinguished, and a rocky path appeared leading to the foot of the mountain.
Lu Mingyang hurriedly rushed down the Flame Mountain and entered the lush grassland.
The grassland may seem like a pleasant scenery, but it is actually arranged in formations and is full of difficulties and obstacles.
But this was not a problem for Lu Mingyang. He cracked several formation bases along the way and finally succeeded in climbing to the high platform after a quarter of an hour.
The high platform made of marble is like a ten-meter-high altar, surrounded by steps.
There is a stone table at the top of the high platform, with ten black diamond-shaped tokens placed on it.
Lu Mingyang looked around and saw that he was the only one around the high platform, and suddenly showed a proud smile.
"Haha...I arrived first, I'm the first!"
While roaring excitedly, Lu Mingyang flew across the steps and climbed onto the high platform.
He rushed to the stone table and found his identity token among the ten tokens.
However, after he put away his identity token, he did not turn around and leave.
His eyes fell on Ji Tianxing's identity token, and he frowned and thought for a moment.
He suddenly thought of an idea, and a sinister sneer suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Then, Lu Mingyang took Ji Tianxing's token, turned around, walked off the platform, and walked towards the golden desert not far away.
"The golden desert is filled with violent and fierce sword energy, and there is also a powerful sword array that will continuously burst out with sword light..."
"Ji Tianxing, Ji Tianxing, not only do I want to win first place, I also want you to fail the assessment and become the laughing stock of Fengyun Academy!"
He walked to the golden desert with a sneer on his face and threw Ji Tianxing's token into the desert.
"It's a pity that although there is a sword formation in the golden desert, it will not be triggered easily."
"No, I have to activate the sword array and double its power to trap Ji Tianxing!"
Lu Mingyang still felt uneasy, so he found the formation base in the golden desert and found the cyan formation disk underground.
This is a square array plate, with the surface engraved with array patterns and symbols, and a dozen little golden figures acting as chess pieces to control the formation.
Lu Mingyang pondered for a while, then vigorously moved a few golden figures to change the formation pattern.
Suddenly, the entire golden desert lit up with dazzling golden light, forming a translucent golden mask.
There is endless Gengjin sword energy in the light mask, which continuously condenses one sharp golden sword light after another.
Hundreds of powerful and violent golden sword lights were flying and flying in the light barrier, making a "swish, swish, swish" sound through the air, and the power was frightening.
Lu Mingyang knew very well that even if he was thrown into the light shield, he would not be able to withstand the assassination of many swords, and he would definitely be strangled and bruised all over his body.
He was very satisfied with the result and showed a successful sneer on his face.
…
Ji Tianxing fought his way through thorns and cracked several formations before finally rushing to the center of the plain and arriving at the foot of the high platform.
He looked at the stone table at the top of the high platform, saw the black identity tokens on the table, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew... finally found the identity token."
He murmured in a low voice, turned around and looked around, and found that he was the only one under the high platform.
"Strange, where is that boy Lu Mingyang? Has he not arrived yet?"
Ji Tianxing frowned in confusion and quickly stepped onto the high platform.
When he arrived at the stone table, he glanced at the several identity tokens on the table, and his eyelids suddenly twitched.
"Why are there only eight tokens?"
He had a vague premonition that something was wrong and quickly rummaged through the eight tokens to find his own token.
As a result, there was no token of his among the eight tokens.
The two tokens that disappeared belonged to him and Lu Mingyang.
"This despicable guy Lu Mingyang actually took away my identity token?!"
Ji Tianxing's face suddenly darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
