No wonder Tian Wenliang's cultivation was completely wasted, and no wonder even Gan Qiyi was struck by lightning. It turned out that Mu Hanyan's formation was derived from the Heavenly Sword Seven Killing Formation.

"How is this possible? Mu Hanyan has only been practicing formations for more than ten days, and she relied on the "Art of Formations". How could she possibly have figured out the principles of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killing Formation?" Another instructor said in fear.

Fortunately, Mu Hanyan chose Tian Wenliang. If it were any one of them, they would probably have the same tragic ending.

The more the mentor thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more shocked he became. He was even more astonished by Mu Hanyan's talent for formations.

Whoever said that "The Art of Formation" is just an introductory reading on formation, if anyone dares to say so again in the future, he will tear his mouth apart.

Not to mention him, even Zhou Wuqing was deeply shocked. Although his master's ancestral manual, "The Art of Formation," contained the life's work of dozens of predecessors and was far more than what most people would consider an introductory text, he had guessed Mu Hanyan would benefit greatly from it. However, he hadn't expected Mu Hanyan to comprehend the principles of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killing Formation from just a single copy of "The Art of Formation." In just a dozen days, he hadn't expected her to master the principles of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killing Formation.

"Have you ever heard of a legend?" Gan Qiyi asked in a deep voice at this time.

"What legend?" The instructors looked at Gan Qiyi in confusion.

"Are you talking about the legend of that sword technique, sir?" Zhou Wuqing said thoughtfully.

"Yes, it is said that the theory of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Formation comes from a set of sword techniques. This set of sword techniques is extremely powerful and can split the sky and the earth and chop off the stars and the moon. However, it is too exquisite and mysterious that no one can understand it. That's why the formation masters evolved it into a formation." Gan Qiyi said.

"Could it be that Mu Hanyan knows that set of sword techniques?" An instructor finally came to his senses.

"Although Mu Hanyan is indeed very talented in formations, it is really unbelievable that he took only more than ten days to comprehend the formation theory of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killing Formation with the help of a book called 'The Art of Formations'. It would be more convincing if he said that he understood that set of sword techniques." Gan Qiyi said, undoubtedly agreeing with the instructor's guess.

“I’m not completely sure, but the Heavenly Sword Seven Killing Formation is extremely important to our Formation Dao Hall and our Longyan Academy. So, before we are sure, please don’t spread the news and don’t start any disputes with Mu Hanyan.

"We'll move the assessment to another location tomorrow. Seal this stage and assign someone to guard it. Everyone, take your time to ponder it and see if you can find an opportunity to repair the Heavenly Sword Seven Killing Formation. Also, assign someone to monitor Mu Hanyan's movements to see if our speculation is true or not." Gan Qiyi paused and continued.

Only then did they understand why Gan Qiyi did not protect Tian Wenliang as he did before even though Mu Hanyan severely injured him and destroyed his life's cultivation. Instead, he gave him a trial token and let him leave. This was the reason.

At some point, it got dark, but several formation instructors from the Formation Hall, led by Gan Qiyi, did not leave. Instead, they carefully studied the incomplete formation base left by Mu Hanyan.

…

"I didn't expect that Mu Hanyan also had such talent in formation. He actually used the art of formation to openly destroy Tian Wenliang, and even made Gan Qiyi look bad. I underestimated him, I really underestimated him." In Tenglong Tower, Jiang Yunhe stroked his long beard and sighed.

"Yes, Mu Hanyan is so difficult to deal with. What should we do next?" Jiang Qiling said with a frown.

When she first met Mu Hanyan, she didn't take her seriously at all, but later she realized that she had underestimated her opponent. As Mu Hanyan made unexpected moves again and again, her pressure became greater and greater.

"For now, we can only endure it temporarily." Jiang Yunhe said.

"What, father, are we really going to let him go like this? Although he has obtained the trial tokens of the Sword Forging Hall and the Formation Hall, he still hasn't got a sword trial token, and that is the most important one." Jiang Qiling said unwillingly.

Unlike the trial tokens of other halls and halls that can be traded freely, the sword trial tokens cannot be traded or transferred. After all, the sword is the foundation of the Holy Court Continent.

As long as he could stump Mu Hanyan in the sword test, no matter how many other trial orders he obtained, they would be useless. Jiang Qiling never thought that his father would give up like this.

"Do you think that the kendo test is really difficult for him?" Jiang Yunhe said lightly.

"Father, as far as I know, the person in charge of the sword test this time is not an ordinary person, especially the leader who is very powerful. If we can persuade him to take action, it will be difficult for Mu Hanyan to pass the test." Jiang Qiling said unconvinced.

"Do you think he is so easy to persuade? Besides, do you think it will be difficult for Mu Hanyan to defeat him if I persuade him to do it himself? Haha, you will know when you see him." Jiang Yunhe did not get angry in the face of his daughter's questioning, nor did he explain too much. He just shook his head and said.

Jiang Qiling knew her father's temper, and knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless, but she was still very dissatisfied in her heart.

She had witnessed that man's strength with her own eyes. It was said that he was no less powerful than several weaker kendo instructors. However, he had always been respectful and filial to his master, and in order to serve him, he had never become a disciple.

Even if it was her, she would have little chance of winning against this person. Although her father did not say it explicitly, his meaning was clear. Even if she persuaded that person to take action personally, it might not be possible to defeat Mu Hanyan. How could she possibly be convinced?

"Hmph! Mu Hanyan, I want to see if you are really as powerful as my father said!" Jiang Qiling snorted in her heart.

…

Mu Hanyan, Tan Yu and others left the Formation Hall and returned directly to the Sword Valley.

"Nine million, ten million, eleven million, twelve million... Hahahaha, I'm rich, I really made a fortune this time. It's a pity that your formation was activated too quickly. The man surnamed Tian started howling as soon as he entered. Otherwise, there would be more people placing bets. What a pity." On the way, Ling Baobao counted the banknotes with a smile on his face, but said with some regret.

"Just be content. It's only been half a minute. I'm lucky enough that I can set up the formation." Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

Even though she played it lightly in front of outsiders, she actually put a lot of thought into setting up that replica of the Heavenly Sword Seven Star Formation. If it weren't for the insights gained from the Star-Falling Eight Desolations Sword, even if she had fully understood the principles of the formation, it would have been impossible for her to set up the formation in such a short time using materials of mediocre quality.

"That's because you haven't learned the skills well enough. If it were my mother, she could set up a large formation with just a wave of her hand. There's no need to go through so much trouble." Ling Baobao said disapprovingly.
