Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sudden Change in the Wind and Clouds [Second Update]
When the first trace of fish belly white was revealed in the east, the Xuanwu Courtyard seemed to suddenly come to life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info One group after another of the monks, according to their respective camp numbers, entered the Sharp Reduction Hall Comparison Square, and stood in line.
Although many people stay up all night, it is not difficult for monks who are at least at the peak of the Mahayana period to go without sleep for three days and three nights. What's more, today's competition is so important, so critical, and so exciting for most people.
But no matter how excited they are and how energetic they are, among all the hundreds of squads, the Yellow Battalion Yimao Haizi Squad will always be the most special and eye-catching one.
They stood on the ground, neatly dressed, with serious expressions, their waists straight and looking straight ahead, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, an indescribable sharpness, emanating from them, as if condensed and formed, in the huge square for a long time.
Compared with the many monks who were in a neat queue but had a casual and even somewhat lazy attitude, the team led by Lei Dong was like a crane in a flock of chickens and a pine in the grass, so outstanding and outstanding.
Although there were only ten people in the squad, no one dared to take them lightly. But that doesn't mean they're going to be bullish on this team.
There have been no major conflicts in the fairy world for thousands of years, although the various sects and factions are fighting openly and secretly, but they generally pay attention to what is in their sleeves, secretly make a stumbling block, and it is not uncommon for things like vendetta between monks, but group fights between sects are very rare. Despite this, the formation of a confrontation is still a lesson for the children of all factions who do not hesitate to practice. And there are many sects in the fairy world, and various formations emerge in endlessly, each with its own strengths, among these formations, especially the formations of the gate sect are more complex and more powerful.
But in any case, these formations not only require familiarity with the formation diagram and the operation of the formation, but also require the monks participating in the formation to form a tacit understanding with each other after years of cooperative practice, and only in this way can the power of the formation be fully developed. At this point, the disciples of the various sects who came to the Xuanwu Academy for further study had a natural advantage - not only did they have sufficient manpower and could have a variety of formations to choose from, but in terms of the degree of tacit understanding with each other, they were definitely better than the teams that some small sects had put together temporarily.
Unfortunately, the team led by Lei Dong is a human squad, which is just put together temporarily.
In this team, except for Lei Dong, who has just ascended to the rank of loose cultivator, the remaining nine people are from two small sects, not only are the exercises very different, but even the time they have known each other is about a month. In such a short period of time, not to mention how well the formation is practiced, I am afraid that it is still uncertain what formation will be used! Unless they adopt the most common road formations in the Immortal Realm, such as the Five Elements Array, the Seven Star Array, and the like, all the monks have a spectrum in their hearts about the power of those formations.
Another factor that has to be paid attention to is that there are three battalions of Tiandixuan, each battalion has ten numbers, and each number has ten squads, and each team has as few as thirty people, and as many as more than two hundred, and most of the monks in each team are from the same sect, so there is no problem in the consistency of exercises and cultivation, and there is no problem in the degree of tacit understanding of cooperation. On the other hand, the Lei Dong team, all the personnel add up to only ten people, and they are from different sects, no matter how big Lei Dong's ability is and how strong his integration ability is, how effective can he be in just one month? Not to mention anything else, people can pile you to death just by relying on people, and this is not counting the bonus of the formation to the monk's offensive and defensive power!
Naturally, those squads of more than 200 people are not all monolithic, and they will not all go into battle, otherwise this formation battle will lose the meaning of examining the cooperation of various monks in collective combat, and it is not particularly fair. In general, a team with a large number of people will select a group of people who are more closely related and cooperate with each other to represent the team in the competition, or the team will be directly divided into several teams and an internal competition will be held to determine who will represent the team. Therefore, except for some special formations, the number of teams participating in this "team competition" is about 30 people.
But even thirty people are not something that a team of ten people can contend with. You must know that in group battles, the combat effectiveness is not as simple as the simple addition of each member, as the formation unfolds, the combat effectiveness index of the entire squad will increase geometrically!
But soon they will learn how wrong and wrong their thinking is.
Different from the individual competition, this time the high platform in the center of the square and the large area on both sides were not separated into small spaces, but directly in the two vast areas of the competition between the teams, as well as the competition between the numbers, and after the four battalions decided the winners of the two teams, the last eight teams walked up to the high platform in turn according to the order of drawing lots, and carried out the final competition.
All more than 100 squads played in groups, and it went very fast, and in less than two hours, all the squads had completed the game. Among them, the Yellow Battalion was the fastest, and when the other battalions were still in the group stage, they had already decided the final champion of the entire battalion.
No accident, the Haizi team won the only place in the Yellow Battalion to enter the final eight. After all, there are only more than 100 people in the Huangzi Battalion, and more than half of them are still loose cultivators in the Mahayana period, and the rest are only the weakest ones in the early stage of True Immortals. These more than 100 people were organized into five squads, and the personnel had complex backgrounds, and there was no decent formation cultivation at all, so giving them a place was already a great care.
And no one was surprised by the quota of the Yellow Character Battalion, which has a large number of Haizi squads. After all, whether it is Lei Dong or others, but in terms of personal cultivation, they are all a lot higher than the monks of other squads, and there are not many backwards in numbers, so it would be strange if they didn't win.
In fact, when facing the Haizi squad, the entire Yellow Character Battalion, no matter which team it is, will be quickly defeated, and the team dominated by the monks of the two Mahayana periods, before they even have time to make a move, they will be completely suppressed by the momentum of the Haizi Squad, and they will directly abandon their weapons and admit defeat.
And in the face of the other two teams that were mainly based on the early stage of the True Immortals, the Haizi team just used the simplest five-element array, with Tian Chuchen, Sun Guangjie, Wen Heping, He Wuxing and Leng Xiu'er, five relatively low cultivation team members, and the victory was established in the blink of an eye, while Lei Dong, Lin Tie, Song Tianxing and a few others just stood aside and swept the formation, and they didn't even move their little fingers from the end to the end.
Sure enough, it was a five-element array. Countless monks looked at it with regret and secretly rejoiced. Obviously, the Haizi team, which was composed of monks from different sects, was really as they expected, and they did not have any advanced battle formations, and even the simple Five Elements Formation was not completely run-in in place when it was running, and there were often some small flaws, but their personal cultivation and combat effectiveness were an order of magnitude at a high place, and they quickly won.
This discovery relieved most of the monks. Finally, you don't have to worry about this team of perverts coming to grab food with yourself!
However, if they knew what was going to happen next, they would definitely sigh that the ups and downs of life were so exciting that they only guessed the beginning, but they couldn't guess the ending......
Because, just after all the eight teams that entered the final competition were decided, just when all the monks thought that things would go smoothly and uneventfully, suddenly the situation changed! (To be continued.) )
