"Isn't it the day of the assessment in the Formation Hall? I have been studying the art of formations these days and have gained some insights. I was just looking to ask you gentlemen for some guidance, so I came here specifically to take part in the assessment." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
"What? He's quite knowledgeable. Just relying on a copy of the 'Array Dao Art' that can be found everywhere, he actually dares to say that he has quite a lot of knowledge?"
"How dare you, Mu Hanyan, so shamelessly ask for your guidance? Is she ignorant and fearless, or is she just out of her mind?"
"He's only studied the 'Array Dao Art' for a few days, yet he dares to come and take the test. What does he think of the Array Dao Hall?"
A group of disciples were whispering to each other, mocking and ridiculing Mu Hanyan, with some anger hidden in their words.
Mu Hanyan's words were a great irony to them. Their teachers, the masters of formations, spent their entire time, besides practicing swordsmanship, diligently studying formations, even in their dreams. Even with such dedicated practice, it was difficult for them to pass the assessment. Mu Hanyan, who had only studied the "Formula Dao Jue" for a few days, a textbook that could only be considered an introduction to formations, actually dared to take the assessment. This was not only disrespectful to the Formation Hall, but also contemptuous of them.
"Mu Hanyan, the Formation Hall is not a place where you can act recklessly. You have only learned the "Formulation Art" for a few days, yet you dare to come to take the assessment? You are clearly trying to cause trouble!" Gan Qiyi shouted angrily, not to mention the disciples, even the instructors felt that they had been greatly humiliated.
Zhou Wuqing was the only one who remained silent, a faint smile on his face and a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. It looked like Mu Hanyan must have grasped the essence of the "Array Dao Jue"; otherwise, she wouldn't be so confident.
The "Art of Formation" may seem superficial, but in reality, it is the foundation of all formations. As the saying goes, "everything changes but remains essentially the same," no matter how advanced the formation technique, it all ultimately stems from this most fundamental principle. It was precisely for this reason that his lineage of formation masters, generation after generation, diligently studied the "Art of Formation," and whenever they found it difficult to advance, they would seek opportunities in the "Art of Formation."
He originally gave the "Art of Formation" to Mu Hanyan mainly out of shame, and he did not expect Mu Hanyan to gain much insight from it. But now it seems that Mu Hanyan probably will not let him down.
Of course, even if Mu Hanyan didn't learn anything, he wouldn't care. After all, he had a copy of the "Array Art", so he wouldn't feel bad.
"Sir Gan, who said that we can't comprehend the art of formation with the help of "The Art of Formation"? Who stipulated that if we practice the art of formation with "The Art of Formation", we can't take the assessment?" Mu Hanyan looked at the exasperated Gan Qiyi and smiled contemptuously.
"Okay, okay, then I want to see how talented you are and how much you have learned about the mysteries of formations from this "Formation Dao Jue"." Gan Qiyi was once again angered by Mu Hanyan's contemptuous look, and said with a sneer.
"Thank you, Lord Gan, for your help." Mu Hanyan said calmly.
"Are you planning to comprehend the mentor's formation, or set up the formation and have the mentor test and assess you?" Gan Qiyi asked.
"I'd better set up the formation and ask the instructor to check it." Mu Hanyan said without hesitation.
She also hoped to use this formation to deal with Tian Liangwen and avenge Jiang Yuzhe in a fair and just manner.
Asking for trouble! Gan Qiyi sneered inwardly.
If one wants to comprehend the mentor's formation, everything depends on Mu Hanyan's formation strength. If one sets up a formation and hands it over to the mentor for inspection, it often depends on the mentor's likes and dislikes. If the mentor deliberately makes things difficult for him, he can find fault even in an egg, let alone a formation.
This Mu Hanyan is so arrogant that it's out of control!
"That's the performance stage. You will be the first to take the test today, so that we can broaden our horizons." Gan Qiyi pointed to a high platform in the field and said to Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan didn't say much and walked up to the performance stage in a few steps.
This performance stage is more than three meters in radius, much more spacious than an ordinary sword competition stage, and various formation materials are piled around it.
As soon as Mu Hanyan stepped onto the stage, a barrier appeared around her, separating her from the outside world. Mu Hanyan could see every move of the people outside, but the people outside could not see how Mu Hanyan set up the formation.
Looking at Gan Qiyi's angry and embarrassed look outside, as well as the indignant expressions of the other instructors, Mu Hanyan smiled slightly and began to quickly set up the formation.
"She's really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. I'd like to see what kind of formation she can set up."
"We must teach him a lesson today and let him know that the art of formation is not that simple. He is not qualified to act arrogant in front of us just by learning the 'Art of Formation' for a few days." Several instructors gathered their energy and communicated with each other. They were determined to teach this arrogant and ignorant dandy boy a lesson today.
Before they knew it, half a quarter of an hour had passed. With the ringing of a bell, Mu Hanyan walked out slowly from the performance stage.
"Is the formation ready?" Gan Qiyi said arrogantly with his nose turned up.
In his opinion, what kind of decent formation could Mu Hanyan set up in just half a minute? Not to mention that it would be full of mistakes and omissions, there would definitely be many flaws. Even if he didn't find fault with it, he could still find all kinds of shortcomings and humiliate him in front of everyone to the best of his ability, making him lose face.
"Okay." Mu Hanyan nodded.
"Which instructor do you plan to ask to test the formation for you first?" Thinking that Mu Hanyan would soon be embarrassed, Gan Qiyi was too lazy to be angry with him anymore, and asked in a pretentious manner, acting like an elder.
"Please trouble Lord Tian Wenliang to come first." Mu Hanyan said.
What! Everyone looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise. They had thought that he would choose Zhou Wuqing first. After all, Zhou Wuqing was famous for his good temper, so they had to give him some face. But who would have thought that he would choose Tian Wenliang, his mortal enemy, as soon as he arrived. Was he deliberately looking for trouble?
"Okay, okay, then I'll take a look first." Tian Wenliang was also a little surprised, but he was too lazy to think about it.
Mu Hanyan is deliberately looking for trouble, so let him do as he wishes. This is the perfect opportunity to humiliate him severely and vent his anger.
"Lord Tian, please!" A hint of an imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of Mu Hanyan's mouth.
"Hmph!" Tian Wenliang took a big step, flicking his sleeves, and stepped onto the performance stage in a few steps.
"Buzz!" With a slight sound, the formation was activated.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged between heaven and earth. The originally clear sky turned dark, as if a storm was about to come.
What was going on? Not only the disciples in the audience, but also Gan Qiyi and other instructors were puzzled.
"Ah..." At this moment, a shrill scream came from the formation.
