The hour is almost up, and the contestants are almost here.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in cheers,

"Miss Bai Jiayuxi has arrived!"

Surrounded by a bunch of young people's cheers, a beautiful woman dressed in a red fox fur came slowly, with a delicate figure, compared to Tang Wan and Jing Yu, she was not inferior or even surpassed, her temperament was fresh and refined, like a fairy, it was really a stunner in the world, and it was rare to see in the world.

"Miss Yuxi, I am fortunate that you can participate in this selection, and I hope you can be merciful!" Yuan Hongzhi immediately greeted him with a smile.

Bai Yuxi is the only daughter of the Bai family who is the strongest among the three wealthy families in Yuanjing City, she is talented in formation, and she is also a second-level formation master, and she is one of the strong enemies identified by Yuan Hongzhi in this competition. More importantly, if you can catch the big ship of the Bai family through marriage, you will be able to cover the sky with one hand in this Source Crystal City.

"Yuan Gongzi praised it falsely, you are the formation genius of the Yuan family, the formation family, it is Yuxi who begs you to take more care. Bai Yuxi replied politely, neither humble nor arrogant, without any flaws.

Just as the two were chatting, the competition officially began, and it was an elder surnamed Liu from the Formation Mage Association who came out to preside, who looked like he was three or four thousand years old, wearing the uniform costume of the Formation Mage Association. Like Danta, the Array Mage Guild uses the same method for the mage identity emblem, except that the Silver Star Golden Moon and Red Sun are changed to a round frame crest, a lace wave crest, and a six-pointed star crest, and the number of stars, moons, and suns in the coat of arms shows the specific level. Look at the lace wave January coat of arms on Elder Liu's shoulder, he is a fourth-level formation master.

"All young talents who are interested in studying the formation, welcome everyone to participate in this selection competition. This time, the branch of my Yuan Jingcheng Array Mage Association was fortunate to get three places to go to the finals of Haotian City, and today I will determine the candidates through the competition, which is fair, just, and open. The competition adopts an elimination system and is divided into three rounds, which are respectively to depict the formation map, the formation offensive and defensive confrontation and the last formation comprehension, and the top three will be selected according to the results..."

On the stage, Elder Liu gave a speech, and everyone in the audience listened attentively and thought about the confrontation strategy, of course, some people who knew the content of the game in advance did not care about this and had already prepared.

The elixir, the refining weapon and the formation are both different and have similarities: the elixir pays attention to meticulousness, and the elixir and the fire are mastered meticulously and meticulously, and the subtlety is to the peak; the refining tool is relatively rough, and the familiarity with the material and the fire is high, and the sensitivity is lower; while the formation has high requirements for the spirit of the divine soul, and the comprehension and application of the laws of heaven and earth are the highest, and the difficulty is correspondingly the greatest.

The three have something in common, that is, the comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth, but even if the most basic concepts are the same, there are still huge differences in the framework structure, so if you want to achieve good results for all three, you need not only hard work, but also talent, talent, and difficulty.

The three complement each other and are inseparable: alchemy requires a good Dan furnace, and after making the elixir, the formation master needs to carve the formation pattern for the elixir to keep the medicinal properties of the elixir from being lost and can be retained for thousands of years; the refining tool needs the elixir to remove the fire poison that is squeezed down by the hot furnace all the year round, and the various formation inscriptions developed by the formation master are added to the divine soldiers, so that the heavenly and earthly treasures can really exert their effects; of course, the development and depiction of the formation layout also requires the huge power of the divine soul that the elixir replenishes the loss, and they are awake, and the refiner also needs to provide them with various array materials, such as the stone slab that is most commonly used to depict the formation。

In the first round of the competition, the formation diagram was depicted.

Contestants need to choose one or more of the five series formations of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to depict, and depict one hundred successful and eighty passes. Among them, the formation map has one to three levels.

The slate carved by the player is made of a special material, the size of the palm, the production cost is low, it is a common formation base material for simple formations, and each level of the formation map has a corresponding slate, and the type and number of slate after the player selects the formation map is fixed. That is to say, the player can only have one chance, it is impossible to say that if I fail to depict a third-level formation map, I want to use the spirit stone slab that depicts the second-level formation map, even if I really depict the third-level formation map into the slate that carries the second-level formation map, the slate will not be able to exert the power of the third-level formation because of its own material, so it is better to directly depict the second-level formation map to save time and effort.

But there is another problem here, if you choose a low-level formation map for depiction, the success rate is naturally high, and you can ensure that you can pass this round of testing, but in the next round of formation confrontation, it will be in a disadvantageous situation, and if you pick a high-level formation map, it will be a problem whether you can pass this round.

And there is another trouble, depicting a hundred formation maps is a huge test for the soul spirit, and the higher the formation level, the greater the spiritual power of the soul consumed.

There were as many as 500 contestants, and under the leadership of Elder Liu and the reception staff, they went to the main hall formation depiction trial ground. This is enough to accommodate everyone to play together, and each person has five balls of light of different colors on the table, among which there are different types of formation diagram templates, and the contestants need to first select the formation diagram they are satisfied with and then carve it on a hundred blank stone slabs on the side.

The game lasts for an hour.

Under Elder Liu's order, many people began to eagerly choose the formation diagram without thinking.

Among the five hundred contestants, excluding Feng Sheng, a hidden fifth-level array mage, there are not many second-level formation mages, no more than two palms, which naturally include Yuan Hongzhi and Bai Yuxi, and the specific level of Gao Sheng is not yet known.

Feng Sheng can't make up his mind for the time being, if his performance is too outstanding, it is easy to attract attention, and he will have doubts about his identity, but if his performance is too poor and he can't even enter the top three, then his efforts will be in vain. He simply waited and saw what the others were saying.

Among the people present, there are two worthy of their own attention: Gao Sheng, a young man with an inch head, and Bai Yuxi, the eldest lady of the Bai family, the two of them always give people a feeling of being hidden, if they can let go of their hands and feet and compete with one of them, it is naturally simple, but if you want to hide your strength and win, the difficulty is a bit big, and the grasp of this degree is accurate and ingenious so that people can not see the clues, as for Yuan Hongzhi, he is not worthy of being included in the list of observation objects.

Among the several people, Gao Sheng, a young man with an inch head, acted first, he chose the water system and the thunder system, and the level of the formation map was ten third-level formation maps and ninety second-level formation maps.

This surprised Yuan Hongzhi and the others, even if the second-level formation mage was depicting the second-level formation diagram, he did not dare to guarantee that it would succeed every time, not to mention the third-level formation diagram, the probability of failure was much greater, and now that Gao Sheng was matched like this, the failure rate was very high.

Whether he is a second-level formation mage or a third-level formation mage, even if it is a third-level formation mage, it is really a risky gamble.

"It's really bold, and I'm not afraid that I won't even be able to pass this first round but be brushed down like this!" Yuan Hongzhi said disdainfully, he really didn't think about the other party. He adopted a relatively safe strategy, seven third-level formation maps and ninety-three second-level formation maps, he himself is a second-level formation mage and is also an outstanding existence among second-level formation mages, and there are faint signs of breaking through to a third-level formation mage, ensuring that the success rate of the second-level formation map is appropriately increased at the same time.

At the same time, Bai Yuxi also began to choose, but in terms of choice, he was more secure than them, using a combination of five third-level formation maps and ninety-five second-level formation maps.

As for the others, the number of people with a higher configuration than them is much smaller, basically one or two third-level formation maps, and most of them only choose second-level formation maps or first-level formations, and the level is uneven.

After the enemy situation was investigated, Feng Sheng also began to choose the formation map, as long as the game can be passed, it doesn't need to be too eye-catching, even if it is the third, so he chose a relatively ordinary match, five third-level formation maps plus ninety-five second-level formation maps.

After selecting the formation map, everyone began to depict it one after another, carving knives on the stone slab, dragons and phoenixes dancing, pens walking dragons and snakes, and making bursts of friction sounds.

Everyone has their own ideas and strategies, some people will first go from easy to difficult, steady and steady; some people choose to depict the most difficult third-level formation diagram first when they are most relaxed, and then make a good effort to get the simple second-level formation diagram right, of course, there are also people who take interspersed portrayals to appropriately regulate personal tension, and there are different methods.

Just when everyone was concentrating on the formation diagram, two people quietly walked into the game site and observed the progress of the players from above.

"What's the matter, didn't you say he's not coming? Yuan Hongzhi was depicting the seven third-level formation diagrams, and he had already finished carving one, and when he relaxed his eyes, he glanced at the two of them, and his heart became nervous.

"Smack!" A formation diagram failed to depict, and the slate was directly scrapped.

"Take it easy!" A failure made him feel a lot anxious, and he took a deep breath and comforted himself, what is terrible is really something, and he has failed to portray three third-level formation maps in a row, and his heart is becoming more and more panicked, and he can only put down the third-level formation map and depict the second-level formation map first.

"What the hell!"
