Chapter 425: Genius is indeed extraordinary

Soon, the third person who broke the formation came out, it was the demon cultivator Xing Liu.

Xingliu ran straight towards Lindu, chirping beside her, "How is it, are you still first this time?"

Lin Du looked at the little girl. Although she was probably about the same age as his master, the cleverness between her eyebrows made her unable to tell her age. She only thought she was cute.

She was always tolerant of little girls like this, and shook her head, "No, it's this one."

Xingliu looked up at the rankings and said, "Kaiyang?"

She blinked her eyes. "It's the same name as mine. They're both stars."

Lin Du smiled faintly. Xing Liu was certainly not a star. When several people from the Supreme Sect went to the demon clan for training, they encountered a giant demon that looked almost exactly like her. That giant demon was best at earth-based magic. It seemed that Xing Liu and that giant demon were from the same clan, and perhaps they had some kind of kinship.

But this Kaiyang in front of us may not be the case.

Only the first 100 people in the second round will enter the third round.

Disciples from the Lianheng sect and other monks came out one after another. In less than half an hour, the list of the top 100 people was out.

The rest of the people were teleported out at the same time, and could only watch regretfully.

The third round is the ultimate test, which is the plan proposed by Lin Du, to build a large formation to block the evil spirits.

This third question was revealed before the competition. Although the formation master still needs to adapt to local conditions and is not sure about the location he will be assigned to, he is still prepared.

Lin Du and a few familiar-looking disciples from the Lian Heng sect saluted from a distance, then looked up at the teleportation array in front of the hundred people.

The area of ​​Dongming Realm is so huge that the Demon Realm occupies about 10% of it. Since it is all land, it is surrounded by Zhongzhou, the Demon Realm, and Yunmolo. The barren sand wilderness in the middle is tens of thousands of miles in a circle.

There is sandstorm everywhere, high mountains, volcanic lava, and a desert next door. The spiritual energy is extremely weak, making it difficult to take advantage of the situation. It also tests the formation master's ability to deploy formations on the spot.

The venues assigned to the 100 players in the third round of formation mages were scattered all over the place.

Behind each contestant, there are about three flying monitoring devices, transmitting the images in real time.

As for the evaluation, it involves the strength, coverage, and level of the defense formation, so each is separated by a great distance.

Ahead of their competition, there is the Lingwu Conference, which is testing the quantity and quality of demons killed.

After they finish the competition, there will be mechanical engineers and instrument refiners who will come to seal and replenish the scattered formations.

Everyone can choose the venue map by themselves and select according to the order of ranking.

Kaiyang stood in front of the map, without making a choice immediately. He scanned it and said, "Which place is the most difficult and has the most evil spirits?"

Hearing this, Lin Du looked at Kaiyang and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Finally a mention of the devil?

The alliance's president, Yu Heng, raised his hand and pointed to one of the maps.

Kaiyang saw this and took out the map. "In that case, I'll choose this place."

He did not leave immediately, but stood aside.

Lin Du had already looked at the entire map countless times beforehand and had already decided on the location he should choose.

She raised her hand and pointed to one of the maps.

Yu Heng was stunned for a moment. "This area... is extremely long horizontally, and there is no place for our formation mages to compete around it."

This is because the engineer likes to build it in this long direction, so I only took a small section of it.

Lin Du nodded, "I know."

Of course she knew.

Lin Du raised his hand, took the map, and walked towards the teleportation array. "In that case, I'll go first."

A large formation cannot be built overnight, and the time limit for the competition is ten days.

Kaiyang looked at Lin Du's back and shook his head. Although that kind of place was long, the terrain was rugged and narrow, so it was easy to arrange.

And quite smart.

Lindu landed in a long valley area, but it was extremely hot.

She knew that there was an active volcano beyond the edge of the map. Although it was not shown on the map, it would be a devastating blow to many formations if the volcano erupted.

The cooled lava flowing out of the volcano contains more metal components that interfere with the energy flow.

But Lin Du chose it not because of its difficulty.

She took out the array, released her consciousness, walked along the long line, and began to explore and investigate on the spot.

The array mage utilizes the power of array stones, but he also has to consider environmental interference.

This kind of complex outdoor terrain always presents unexpected difficulties.

Lin Du walked out all the way, marking on the map, and he looked similar to all the formation mages.

The array masters watched the contestants' performances through the water mirrors, and they were all somewhat uninterested at this point.

Because surveying itself is extremely boring, the problems encountered by array mages are similar.

"Hey! Evil demon!" someone shouted, pointing at one of the pictures.

"Hiss, isn't there a Lingwu Conference ahead? How come there are still evil demons leaking out?"

"Didn't the alliance clean up beforehand?"

People were talking about it, and it was obvious that they were somewhat dissatisfied with the alliance plan.

Yuheng was unmoved by the eight winds, and he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Didn't you read the proposal issued by the alliance when the competition topics were announced?" a young female cultivator asked, "Why are all the different types of competitions held in the desert this time?"

The people around looked at the female cultivator and found that she was a disciple of Lianheng Sect. They couldn't help but sneer, "It turns out that she is just speaking for her own people."

The female cultivator had a clear and upright look and spoke calmly. She replied calmly, "The head of the Supreme Sect personally wrote a letter to all fellow cultivators, which stated that the evil demons would continue to cause chaos in the future. In recent years, people living in the border areas have suffered from disasters frequently. The various sects and families have no choice but to guard the borders to prevent the evil demons from occupying the land, keeping people in captivity, and turning spiritual cultivators into their food or even slaves."

"Eight years ago, Buddhist disciples offered sacrifices, and thousands of Buddhists fell in order to seal the formation. The demons who went to help also suffered a lot of losses. The source of the demonic energy was sealed, and the evil demons stopped their internal turmoil and focused on attacking the spiritual practitioners. Although the demonic tide no longer exists, the evil demons are now at odds with us."

"Not just for the territory, but for the people who are here."

Jin Rui finished speaking loudly and slowed down his tone, "Of course we can hold the conference in a peaceful place without any disturbance as in previous years, but this will only determine the winner. No matter how good the formation we set up is, it can only be auctioned as a diagram. But if our formation is placed in the desert, it will be effective immediately."

"Of course, our alliance will also give the top 100 people rewards that are more valuable than the formation."

"The conference will be held eventually, and our alliance naturally wants to make a contribution to the world."

After hearing this, everyone had different expressions on their faces, but no one questioned it anymore.

One person took the initiative to change the subject, "Hey, are these evil spirits hiding?"

"I'm afraid so. I don't know where it came from."

But in the water mirror, Kaiyang waved his sleeves, still surveying the terrain, and directly smashed the evil spirit that came out to pieces. The moment the evil spirit overflowed, he wrapped it with spiritual power, and the evil spirit quickly disappeared into thin air.

"This Kaiyang is really amazing."

"Whose disciple is this powerful hermit?"

It is well known that formation mages are not good at fighting.

Except for the Yanye vein.

Lin Du's consciousness had already sensed the movement, and he suddenly spread out his Floating Life Fan, covering the group of evil demons with the power of ice and snow. Then he struck his index finger and middle finger together, and in a flash, the group of evil demons were torn into pieces.

The next moment, the spiritual wind swept the evil spirit outside the line drawn by Lin Du.

Everyone laughed dryly, "It really is passed down from generation to generation."

Just as he finished speaking, the demon cultivator Xing Liu threw out a small meteor hammer, or rather, a meteor net, which hit the evil demon's joints just right, and then forced the evil demon to one side. The earth spikes suddenly rose up and stabbed the evil demon through.

People are numb, "This year is really a special one."

They looked at the other water mirrors, where many formation mages were struggling with evil demons. They only breathed a sigh of relief when the invited combat monks came in to clear out the evil demons.

Only then did everyone calm down a little.

See, this is normal!

"That's not right! How did Lin Du get out? He must have gone beyond the map! He must have walked a hundred miles, right?"

Everyone was silent for a moment. "Did anyone call her back? Why is she walking around like crazy? This isn't a footwork competition!"

Sure enough, someone took the order and spoke to Lin Du through a magic weapon.

Lin Du glanced at the three 360-degree surveillance instruments following behind him, raised his hand and gestured, "I know where I am, I'm not lost."

Everyone became even more silent. What was this person doing? Warming up?

I don’t understand. I don’t understand at all.

But geniuses always have quirks, and they respect that.

"Look! Kaiyang has finished the detection and started drawing the formation!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to Kai Yang again. "It's amazing. This formation doesn't even require any tools. It was completed in one stroke."

"I don't even understand this formation," one person said bluntly.

The people who were praising him fell silent. They didn’t understand what he said and could only laugh dryly. “Genius is indeed extraordinary.”
