Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 18 The Great Big Dipper Formation
Three floors underground.

The moment he stepped down from the last step, Xu Zhenyun was mentally prepared.

Sure enough, everything was spinning in an instant.

The world where this body is located has changed from a palace to an empty space.

The ground is flat, and it seems to be a bluestone martial arts school ground, measuring two to three miles in length and width, with four observation towers more than five feet high standing in the four corners.

Xu Zhenyun subconsciously looked to the left and right, and sure enough, there was a stone monument standing not far to the left.

When he walked over and took a look, Xu Zhenyun couldn't help but be surprised.

The inscription presents:

The third floor of Liuhe Linglong Tower is the Great Big Dipper Formation.There are 820 participants, who will pass?people.

The number of people who passed the border seemed to be covered with a layer of white wax and was hidden.

The suffix is ​​the most simple four words:
Break the formation and win.

Xu Zhenyun immediately raised his eyes and looked around.

According to the experience of the second level, even if the number of people who passed the level is not written on the stone tablet, he can deduce the passing rate by counting the number of undead "light groups"!
But when I looked up, I saw the vast sea and clear clouds on the campus. Suddenly, mist appeared, billowing and leaping.

The visibility decreased rapidly, and even the four observation towers were blurred.

"Tread, step, step..."

Accompanied by the sound of heavy treading on the ground, a neat military formation appeared.

Seven mighty golden-armored guards, armed with swords, spears, clubs and other weapons, approached step by step.Each golden-armored guard wears a bronze mask, which is almost the same as the one in the qualification test!

These seven people are only in the first row; behind them there are the second row, the third row...

Xu Zhenyun's heart trembled.

If every golden-armored guard had the same combat power as the one in the hall, he would definitely be no match for him!

But then I thought about it, now it's only the third floor of the seven-story Linglong Tower, so it shouldn't be too bad.

As you meditate in your mind, the iron rod appears in your hand.

Xu Zhenyun's eyes narrowed and he rushed in without hesitation!

"Ping, pong" was heard twice, and sticks were struck.

After a fight, Xu Zhenyun was determined.

In terms of individual combat power, the strength of each golden-armored guard is obviously much inferior to that of the one in the hall.

Rushing closer, Xu Zhenyun saw clearly the size of the enemy.

The queue of the golden armored guards is seven rows and seven columns, with a total of 49 people.Behind the seven-seven phalanx, there is a tall golden-armored guard who does not wear a bronze mask.

This person showed a straight face, with clear facial features and piercing unique red phoenix eyes. He stared at Xu Zhenyun with an unusually hostile look, and his temperament was like that of a living person.

It was obvious that this was the leader.

After Xu Zhenyun rushed in, the leader of the golden-armored guards suddenly shouted: "Form up!"

The voice was powerful and echoed throughout the school grounds.

As soon as this person finished speaking, the original seven-vertical, seven-horizontal, four-sided formation suddenly changed——

The seven people in each column are separated and curled independently to form a small spoon-shaped array, which looks like the Big Dipper.The seven small arrays merge together to form the shape of the Big Dipper.

"The Great Big Dipper Formation...Tiangang Big Dipper Formation?"

Xu Zhenyun was amazed.

The leader of the golden-armored guards waved his arms to direct the movement of the formation.

Xu Zhenyun swept up his long stick and danced with pieces of stick flowers, unable to splash water. He almost exchanged blows with all the golden-armored guards who were close to him one by one and walked past.

This style of play consumes a lot of physical energy and can only ensure your own safety. It is absolutely impossible to break the formation.

This is the method of "exploring the formation" to see how the opponent's formation operates.

After a quick run around, Xu Zhenyun understood clearly.

The large and small seven-star formations composed of golden-armored guards on the opposite side operate mainly on the two paths of "dividing" and "joining".

When the seven stars gather, it is the attack form of the formation, and the large formation puts more pressure on people; when the seven stars disperse, it is a process of recovery and momentum building, brewing the next wave of convergence, like a wave.

Of course, in the process of dispersing, the pressure on the enemy will also weaken.

It divides, divides and rejoins, and it starts again and again.

There are obviously two ideas for attacking this formation.

The first is to ignore it and charge directly towards the center of the formation; this formation is bound to converge and concentrate.In this way, the rhythm of this formation of "breathing in and out, relaxing" will break down, like a clockwork that is wound up, always in a state of tension.

But the state of aggregation is also its most powerful mode.Whether it can withstand the huge pressure is a test for the challenger!

The second way of thinking is to pull and wander, advance and retreat with the situation, and conform to the "break and close breathing, open and relax" method of the large formation. When the formation is dispersed to the maximum, I will also stop adjusting and attack in another direction.

In this way, the formation breaker can turn around flexibly and be able to fully mobilize the enemy; but as a whole, the formation in front of them only has part of the troops participating in the battle. It can combine work and rest, and it is obviously superior in resilience.

Both options have their own pros and cons.

After understanding the principle of the formation, Xu Zhenyun didn't think for a second, roared angrily, transformed into a bull in heat, and charged in without hesitation!

"Bang, bang" twice, the weapons held by the two golden-armored guards in front of them shattered.

Xu Zhenyun is confident that he knows the secret.

This is clearly the second question of the "Three Questions of the Stone Lion" in the assessment!
The routine is the same as the previous level. Whether you choose to go straight to Huanglong in one go, or choose to pull in and out seven times, both options are feasible.

If you choose the path of "never moving forward" and point to the point of the sword, and there is no way to retreat, then go all out; if you choose the path of "following the trend", advance and retreat at any time, and seek benefits and avoid harm, then go in seven times and pull out seven times. Wander.

The key is not to play both ends and doubt yourself.

Being able to master the method of breaking the formation in an instant is not because Xu Zhenyun is proficient in the formation theory; it is because he has vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, and it is naturally very easy to reverse the process with the answer!
Xu Zhenyun is an old top laner who likes to pull.

But he also knew that he must abide by the answer to the second question of the "Three Questions of the Stone Lion" - to move forward without retreating!Another confrontation between "bang" and "bang".

However, these two sticks hit the vital point with great force and force, completely knocking away the swords held in the palms of the two golden-armored guards.

When there was a slight gap in the formation, Xu Zhenyun suddenly rushed forward, like a spiritual ape, and rushed to the center of the formation in one breath.

With all your strength, no enemy dares to challenge you!

But at this moment, the battle situation suddenly changed.

The 49 people in the seven formations moved erratically and turned into seven long snake formations with seven straight lines pointing directly at Xu Zhenyun in the center!

The six people standing at the back in each straight line all dropped their weapons and put their hands on the people in front of them, just like the conjoined martial arts taught by the Xiaoxiao Cult.And the golden-armored guard at the center of the formation suddenly shimmered, and his combat effectiveness was significantly improved!
And the seven "terminals" who received the teachings gathered together to form a new seven-star array.

This new seven-star formation is not only equivalent to the combined force of 49 people, but also avoids the disadvantages of the scattered seven-star formation being too bloated and unable to fully meet the enemy!

Ping ping ping pong, stick combos.

Xu Zhenyun suddenly discovered that each of the seven people he faced now was close to the combat power of the golden-armored guard in the hall.

With seven people united, they can never be their enemy!
The golden-armored guard standing behind the command suddenly clapped and laughed: "Trialist, you lose!"

"You are smart. Because of your experience in the previous level, you thought you found the answer to this level, so you rushed in immediately."

"You're wrong; you take everything for granted."

"This level does not test 'fitting with the Tao Heart', it is just the purest test of breaking the formation. In fact, pulling repeatedly and looking for flaws is the real way to break the formation."

"Here is your burial place!"

Xu Zhenyun was shocked.

Is my choice wrong?

But the thought passed away like a fleeting glimpse.

After an instant, Xu Zhenyun's eyes suddenly brightened, he laughed loudly, and shouted: "How can a little trick shake my heart!"

Using his last strength, Xu Zhenyun struck bravely!
The iron rod in the palm of his hand seemed to be extremely powerful. With a sweep across his body, one was against seven!

Crackling, sparks flying.

The seven golden-armored guards all paused and seemed to freeze for an instant.

Xu Zhenyun felt like stars were popping up in his eyes, and his mouth was shaking violently.

But Xu Zhenyun didn't mind, laughed, and stood up with the iron rod!Three or two leaped, catching the thief first and catching the king, and blasted towards the golden-armored leader behind the formation.

It stands to reason that without killing the seven enemies around him, the strategy of attacking Huanglong is definitely not feasible.

If Xu Zhenyun was stopped by seven people from behind and attacked from both sides, he would definitely be defeated.

But Xu Zhenyun just did that.

It can be clearly seen that the seven "snake heads" are completely motionless and have no intention of pursuing them!

After a moment, it suddenly turned into Venus debris and scattered everywhere.

The remaining 42 golden-armored guards behind them who were responsible for imparting the skills were completely missing and had disappeared one step ahead of schedule.

The iron rod is empty.

The golden-armored leader looked panicked and quickly raised his arms to block.

But how can I resist it!
When Xu Zhenyun hit him on the forehead, this person was immediately smashed to pieces and turned into a Venus, flying around.

At the critical moment of life and death, Xu Zhenyun's super perception ability came into play.

He suddenly felt that the bodies of the seven people at the end of the one-character long snake formation showed the characteristics of virtualization. After the power was transferred forward, the main body seemed to be dissipated immediately.

From this, Xu Zhenyun understood clearly that although the final change of the Long Snake Seven-Star Formation was powerful, it actually only had room for one strike.

If you block this blow, this formation will be at the end of its powerful crossbow and will naturally collapse!
But this blow is really not easy to take.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Zhenyun discovered a flaw - it took time for the Long Snake Formation to transfer the power and condense it; but his own attack was faster.

At this time, you need to strike first and strike with the strongest blow!Adhering to the intention of living towards death, he struck halfway across the river and attacked the seven people in front of him.

As long as a moment of vibration and disharmony is caused, causing a slight block in the transfer of power, the entire formation will disintegrate before the final "strength" can be condensed.

My initial analysis of this level was completely correct.

This level is indeed a test of persisting in the second question of the "Three Questions of the Stone Lion".

The words of the golden-armored leader are the real fraud.

After all the golden-armored guards were dead, Xu Zhenyun raised his eyes and saw that his surroundings were bright and clear.

Dense "light clusters" were scattered on the school grounds.

It is obvious that many people died in this level.

Looking up, the handwriting on the stone tablet suddenly became clear——

On the third floor of Liuhe Linglong Tower, there were 820 participants and 540 passers-by.

More than half was lost.

Xu Zhenyun shook his head.

If everyone can guess the question, at least they won’t make mistakes in choosing a strategy.

Without the final deception of the golden armored guard, at least [-]% of the people who passed this level would have died. Only those who were really weak in strength would have died.

Xu Zhenyun wanted to get close to the light group and take a look at the memories of those who had not passed the test, but this secret realm did not seem to give him this opportunity.

The world was spinning, and Xu Zhenyun had already appeared in an internal building, which was the entity on the third floor underground.

The third level has passed.

The passage to the fourth underground floor is already open.
