Chapter 426 I have never seen anyone with such bad luck
Lin Du did nothing the first day. In the eyes of many people, he just led his troops across a long stretch of wilderness.
Everyone was tired of watching, and Lin Du walked at least several hundred miles.
When Lin Du stopped, Kaiyang's formation diagram had been completed and was being deployed.
The spectators had all started sitting down, occasionally glancing at the calculations of the formation mages in the water mirror. Others had been following each formation mage as they drew their formation diagrams, and had roughly drawn down the formation diagrams of the one hundred formation mages, saving them for later sale in a book.
Even if it is not the entire array diagram, just a little bit of it can benefit the rest of the array mages a lot.
Only Lindu...
No one saw Lin Du stop to draw a formation map. When he returned, he just landed on the boundary line of the original map, at the foot of a mountain that seemed to have an extremely high temperature.
At that time, the sun had just risen, and Lin Du began to dig out stones at the foot of the mountain.
"Is this... the beginning?" Everyone was stunned.
How can you just skip drawing and calculating and start laying out the formation? Even if you have prepared the drawings in advance, you will definitely have to adjust the calculations according to the local conditions.
Could it be that the place chosen by Lin Du really has no interference factors at all?
"Wait, those are actually volcanoes, right?"
Someone recognized it and said, "Look at the formation that Lin Du placed on the side. The formation has reached such a high level. That must be the volcanic cone."
The reason why volcanoes are difficult to arrange is the instability of the internal energy. Even if they do not erupt, they will affect the energy arrangement within the formation during turbulence, causing interference.
What is Lin Du doing?
Everyone was somewhat confused about Lin Du's thinking.
Lin Du, however, had already begun to arrange the battle array calmly. Han Yueling was amazed. If anyone else came here, they would be unable to bear the scalding temperature, let alone arrange the battle array carefully.
Lin Du arranged the formation very quickly. It took her less than a quarter of an hour to walk around the entire volcano and fix the rocks in place.
The formation was not activated, and no one could tell what it was for a moment, but they could see that Lin Du had left two fuses.
In array technology, it is the phase-free connection left when multiple arrays are connected in series.
So Lin Du really incorporated this volcano into the formation?
One day, two days, three days...all the formation masters began to deploy their formations in a hurry.
Lin Du's speed of advancement was obviously much faster than everyone else's. He wanted to cover a hundred miles a day. Sometimes, when people were not paying attention, he would move to another place.
This is not just a long-distance run, it also involves setting up the formation. It is hard to imagine how fast Lin Du's actual formation speed is.
Kaiyang had completed the formation as early as the seventh day. The ancient rhythm of the formation diagram was harmonious and round, with great energy, meticulousness and complexity, which could almost be said to be perfect.
All the top-level formation mages in the alliance were surprised after seeing this, and some even covered their faces in shame.
They are even difficult to disassemble and restore, and can only be deduced from the array stones used.
"This formation is definitely a heavenly formation. If the highest level is not only heavenly level nine, the level of this formation would be much higher."
Everyone looked at Kaiyang with mixed but respectful eyes.
"But we still have to wait for the demons to be deployed before we can test it."
"Yes, although the formation diagram is superb, it also depends on its actual application."
After everyone was amazed, they remembered its practicality.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that even if there are powerful demonic attacks every day, this formation can last for a thousand years without repair. If the formation stones are replenished in time, it can keep running for ten thousand years." Kai Yang smiled, "If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
The members of the alliance looked at each other and had plans in mind.
I'm afraid what Kaiyang said is not a lie.
If this is the case, considering the difficulty of the formation and the time required to complete it, the title is almost certain.
In just seven days, they perfectly covered the entire map given on the most complex terrain. If their strength is genuine, no one will be able to surpass them.
"As expected, the most powerful ones are the ones who are unknown. No matter how famous they are in normal times, they become even quieter during the competition."
One person couldn't help but say.
Several people said this at once.
There are two most famous people in Zhongzhou nowadays. One is the only direct disciple of Yan Ye, the leader of the formation method, and the other is the eldest disciple of the current president of the alliance, who was the most famous formation method genius before Lin Du.
Lin Du was able to fight Kai Yang quite well, but he didn't know what he was doing in the third level, and Meng Ling didn't even make it into the top three every time.
Zhongzhou is the most prosperous place for formations. The demon clan and Yunmolo have been fighting back and forth all year round, but this year the demon clan also has a powerful formation mage, and Yunmolo has only one person in the top ten.
But this person who suddenly appeared did not say where he came from when he registered. He almost appeared out of nowhere and slapped the faces of several geniuses who were highly watched.
On the ninth day, Meng Ling and Xing Liu also completed their formations, but the former did not rashly call for judges. Instead, he patiently checked the strength of the formation again from the beginning, while Xing Liu called for the referee early and sat there eating roast chicken.
Xingliu's formation can be regarded as a heavenly-grade formation. Originally people thought she was following the domineering route of the demon cultivator's formation, but unexpectedly it was an underground formation that is rarely seen in a thousand years, bizarre and mysterious.
On the surface, it seems normal, but in fact, only when you step in will you know how powerful it is.
After Xingliu finished eating the roast chicken, he saw people discussing the strength and sensitivity of the formation, so he raised his hand and threw the chicken bones into the air. However, in the blink of an eye, the underground formation started. No one could even see the energy aura coming out, and the chicken bones had already turned into powder.
Everyone took a step back at the same time.
This invisible formation is still a bit too scary.
Unlike most of the others which are fixed on rocks and the ground, when the consciousness covers it, one can still feel the energy covering the group. This kind of silent and invisible killing is the most terrifying.
Xing Liu wiped his hands carefully, and smiled, "How is it? Is it okay?"
The judge silently wrote down a line of words, "Heavenly Grade Seventh Level, Note: Underground Hidden Formation."
One of them put down the consumable magic weapon for testing. Xing Liu looked at it and said, "If you don't replenish the array stones, it will be fine for about 500 years. But it depends on the number of evil spirits passing through the array. If there are too many, it will not last more than 200 to 300 years. If you repair it in time, it will be fine for a thousand years."
Starting from the early morning of the tenth day, people gradually stopped forming their formations and handed in their papers.
However, no formation has ever emerged that surpassed these two.
Meng Ling was only rated as the third level of the Heavenly Grade, but he was not bothered by it. At his age of over a hundred, it was a rare talent in the world to be able to reach the Heavenly Grade. This third level was the only Heavenly Grade he had ever achieved in his career.
A genius rarely seen in the world, only one in a thousand years.
Ever since he witnessed Lin Du's strength during the Zhongzhou Competition and the Demonic Tide, he has been in a peaceful state of mind.
Don’t be in a hurry, take your time, the important thing is accumulation.
Lindu is a high mountain cedar, and it can also slowly grow into a towering tree on the plains.
What's more, compared with many people, his resources are already far superior.
"Why hasn't this Lindu ended yet?"
Some people in the crowd were whispering that before the competition began, many people were betting on whether Lin Du could create the miracle of becoming the youngest leader of the formation this year.
But now it seems that it was overestimated.
"Look at this!!"
When the sun reached noon, Lin Du stood again on the volcanic cluster where she had initially arranged the formation. She raised her hand to take the last line and poured her spiritual power into it.
In an instant, a golden ring-shaped array was formed, but the long lines laid out previously did not show any array patterns.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, "Is this... a failure to connect?"
"That's not unusual. The reason why large-scale formations are difficult is that the larger the range, the more places that are prone to being disconnected. If there is an interference that is not accounted for, the formation will not be able to form a closed loop and will fail directly."
"How old is Lin Du? He will be young next time he comes."
"That's true, but it's always a bit disappointing."
After all, he was the only disciple of the only blind leader of the formation who emerged out of nowhere at that time, and he had created many legends. The greater his fame, the greater the disparity of his failure.
"Look!!! The volcano is erupting!! And it's erupting en masse!!"
Everyone was surprised and couldn't help but sigh, "This Lin Du... is really unlucky."
"I have never seen anyone so unlucky."
