Inside the Nine Heavens Extermination Formation, there is another formation that stores information about the Nine Heavens Extermination Formation. When the person driving the large formation leaves, this smaller formation will activate and impart the information of the Nine Heavens Extermination Formation into the driver's mind.
This is also a reward from Ouyang Qiu to the students.
"It seems I really need to study formations properly when I get the chance," Ziyu said with a faint smile.
Originally, formations were complicated, and Ziyu did not want to put in too much effort... Ziyu came here to find Solar Divine Essence, not to become the strongest step by step; Ziyu did not have that ambition.
"We have the total score of all three Squads. Unless something unexpected happens, we should at least get second place, which is likely what we will achieve," Ruan Ling said. "The other Squads should be in that oasis, and if it comes down to a final battle, the scores may concentrate on one Squad, and we will be second."
In any case, they had secured a spot in the top three, and entering the overall Championship was a certainty.
"Whoa..." Shortly after, a vortex appeared ahead of Ruan Ling's Squad, serving as a passageway leading to a classroom at Mystic Practitioner Academy.
"Come out; our rankings are confirmed. It won't take long for one class," Ouyang Qiu's voice came through.
The group hesitated for a moment before entering the vortex passageway and arriving in the classroom. At this time, other students were also emerging from other vortices, some of them coming out together as two Squads, apparently just having finished their battles.
"This was just a test to select our battling Squad. I hope everyone does not let this matter affect our harmony," Ouyang Qiu said seriously.
Because of this incident, it seemed some people had already developed permanent hostility.
"Sigh... If anyone gets angry over this matter, it just shows they're petty," Lan Bing'er said quietly beside Ziyu, rolling her eyes.
"Ye Ling, how are you?" In the evening, Ziyu found Ye Ling.
"Not bad. We made it into the overall Championship. We'll be enemies then," Ye Ling chuckled. "But you better not hurt me when that time comes."
"Of course, in the future, my child will still need you to create things, how could I harm you?" Ziyu held Ye Ling in her arms. Even after knowing each other for such a long time, Ziyu still found Ye Ling very cute.
"The academy has given us two months to prepare, so we should get ready and take on more missions," Ye Ling said. "Let's gain some experience; after all, we'll be battling against many people..."
Even if classes were divided based on potential, this competition was fair because the current instructors would not nurture students just because they had strong potential; that would be a matter for later. This Championship was also meant to correct the academy's initial judgments of the students.
"The upcoming missions should be in high demand..." Ziyu thought it would be better to find a few more people and take on a big mission.
Mission Reception Area.
"How many people are there for the Third-Level Xuan Practitioner missions?" Ziyu asked at the Reception.
"There are four types, with a maximum of four people per mission." The academy wouldn't allow too many people on a single mission, as that would diminish the experience gained.
"What are the missions for four people?" Ziyu inquired.
"For four-person missions at the Third-Level Xuan Practitioner level, there are two options, both involving eliminating bandits. However, these two missions have some differences in difficulty," the attendant at the Reception handed Ziyu two crystals.
"I see." Ziyu examined the tasks within the two crystals. Both missions involved eliminating bandits, but one group only had a leader who was Transcendent, although there were many of them; the other group consisted entirely of Transcendent individuals but was fewer in number and stronger in ability.
"They're pretty similar..." Ziyu contemplated which mission to take.
"I'll go with this one that involves all Transcendent individuals." Ziyu ultimately decided on the mission with all Transcendent opponents. Although it might be a bit tricky, the points reward would be higher, and... there would surely be plenty of good loot since they were all Transcendent.
"It's right next to Siyang City..." Ziyu nodded and accepted the mission, receiving a Spatial Ring.
"Four people are needed to meet the requirements. Who should we find?" Ye Ling asked. "It's you and me, plus Bing'er, but who else?"
"My Guide is already here, so your Guide should come too," Ziyu chuckled, as everyone would benefit.
"Brother Ke?" Ye Ling was surprised. "I didn't expect you to think of him."
"Of course..." Ziyu scratched his nose.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Ziyu's mission required them to infiltrate the bandit hideout, Qingshan Stronghold.
"We're almost there. We need to be careful; the mission states that the bandits here are all Transcendent," Ziyu said, his gaze fixed on a village halfway up the mountain.
"It shouldn't be too difficult," Ziyu continued. "But the leader is a late-stage Third-Level Xuan Practitioner, capable of reaching Fourth-Level Mystic at any time."
"That's fine; as long as he isn't a Fourth-Level Mystic, it won't be a problem," Lan Bing'er said. "Let's take care of the small fry first and prevent them from causing trouble, then we can gang up on the leader."
"Such violence..." Ziyu smiled helplessly. "Alright, let's do it that way."
"But we still need to be cautious. Since the bandits are all Transcendent, they might have some special abilities," Kewenshi added.
The bandits could potentially have formation masters... it's hard to say.
"Okay, everyone be careful. Since the Mystic Practitioner Academy assigned this mission, it means it can be completed. Let's stay alert, and if anything unusual happens, we withdraw immediately. The most important thing is not to get hurt," Ziyu instructed everyone, and both Lan Bing'er and Ye Ling nodded in agreement.
"Residual Ice Sword." Ziyu extended his palm, and a long sword appeared in his hand. Ye Ling also tightly gripped a spear, while Lan Bing'er had Dual Rings... As for Kewenshi, he surprisingly wielded a folding fan, which looked quite ordinary.
"Let's go!" Ziyu said little else and moved forward. The folding fan must have some special significance.
"Everyone follow along," Ziyu instructed. "Once we assess the situation, we'll strike directly; we don't need to take them down one by one."
The bandits were quite united, and even if Ziyu attempted to ease the situation by assassinating a few, he wouldn't be able to eliminate many before being discovered.
Inside Qingshan Stronghold, it was peaceful, at least for now. Everyone had just finished their meals and were chatting casually.
"Whoosh..." A shadow darted in from outside. While in mid-air, it unleashed a green spiritual energy attack that directly eliminated a group of bandits.
"Bang bang..." Three more shadows flashed in from another side, striking three different locations and swiftly taking out several ordinary bandits.
Although these bandits were all Transcendent, they were no match for the four Third-Level Xuan Practitioners. Everyone was capable of long-range area attacks using Mystical Arts.
"Someone has intruded!" The entire Qingshan Stronghold was thrown into chaos for a moment, and then the bandits gathered in the center of the village.
"It's better that they gather together." The four of them exchanged glances and began to channel their energy, ready to take down this wave directly.
"If that's the case, this mission will only be difficult because of the leader." Ziyu nodded but felt puzzled; such an easy mission allowed everyone to earn a thousand points.
"Whoosh..." Suddenly, the wind picked up nearby, and some bandits who had been lurking around entered the houses. Soon after, the buildings began to emit a faint glow.
"Something feels off; everyone be careful," Ziyu warned.
"I think..." Kewenshi suddenly said, "this might be a formation."
Kewenshi jumped up, standing in mid-air, looking down at the entire village. Kewenshi had some knowledge of formations.
"This is an Illusion Array, everyone get out quickly!" Kewenshi shouted immediately.
Unfortunately, it was too late; by the time Kewenshi realized it, the entire array had already been fully activated.
"Oh no... Illusion Array!" Ziyu watched as Nearby slowly turned white.
"Brother Ke! Ye Ling! Bing'er!" Ziyu found himself surrounded by a vast expanse of white, unable to see anything but himself. No matter which direction he walked, it was all the same.
"I've seen the information; this kind of formation cannot be recklessly moved in, but must be visualized with focus," Ziyu thought to himself.
"But I can't calm my mind at all," Ziyu frowned.
"Boom..." A tremendous force came from behind Ziyu, knocking him aside. When Ziyu turned back despite the pain, there was nothing there.
"I'm in the Illusion Array; it's controlled by the enemy. I can't see them, but they can definitely see me," Ziyu thought anxiously.
"Boom!" An attack struck Ziyu again.
This attack didn't seem to be from the bandit leader; it wasn't strong enough. It hurt Ziyu a lot but didn't cause significant damage.
"That's right, energy sensing." The Violet Feather Armor appeared, activating the Battle Armor's function to sense and analyze the surrounding energy.
"That's it, each energy point should be a house, and the moving points are people." Ziyu clearly saw the energy distribution nearby. "Although I don't know how to break the great formation, as long as we destroy all the energy points of the entire formation, it will be fine."
"Unable to move?" Ziyu was surprised; he was clearly stepping forward but couldn't approach those energy points.
The Illusion Array was designed to create illusions for those trapped within it, and Ziyu's act of stepping forward was also an illusion. This was why he couldn't escape the Illusion Array no matter how he walked.
"But the Battle Armor has no soul and is not affected." Fortunately, the use of the Battle Armor was still normal.
"Swish swish..." While Ziyu was trying to find a solution, the surrounding white gradually became mottled, revealing something displayed.
"Good thing I like to study formations when I'm free," Kewenshi's voice rang out. "I've destroyed so many before finding the Formation Base."
Ziyu looked around and noticed that many houses had already been destroyed.
"I don't know which of these houses is the Formation Base, but since the Formation Base is a house, I just guessed randomly," Kewenshi chuckled.
When the Illusion Array activated earlier, Kewenshi had been in the sky and had risen to a certain height, so he wasn't enveloped by the Illusion Array.
"Formation Master." Ziyu nodded; in this situation, a Formation Master was very useful.
"Alright, now let's continue solving the problem." The Violet Feather Armor faded away, and with a sword in hand, it glimmered with a faint cold light.
