Divine King of Honour-Chapter 740 - Comprehending Formations

The reason why the Dark God Island Master proposed such a competition method

was actually rooted in a playful agreement made with Bai Tianhan initially.

Bai Tianhan had once asked the Dark God Island Master to pass on his formation knowledge to Xu Nian in the future.

The Dark God Island Master jokingly said, if Xu Nian could comprehend a low grade array within ten days,

then he would teach Xu Nian all his formation skills.

However, Bai Tianhan told the Dark God Island Master, "No need for ten days, three days will suffice."

Thus, the two set the wager.

You see, for someone who has never comprehended a formation,

to understand even the most basic low grade spirit array in three days is simply impossible.

At least, the Dark God Island Master had never seen such a case.

The smartest formation genius he had met needed ten days.

A disciple with good comprehension would need one to two months.

Those of average talent would need at least three to five months.

So when Bai Tianhan said Xu Nian could grasp the basics of formation in three days,

he believed it was completely a fantasy.

Yet, Bai Tianhan insisted on making the bet.

As if when Xu Nian arrived on his island, and if within three days, he could grasp the basics of the formation, then he would teach Xu Nian all his formation skills.

Of course, if Bai Tianhan lost, then he would have to go to the Turquoise Pool for the Dark God Island Master to fetch Jade Dew.

The Dark God Island Master was a person who cherished liquor as if it were his life.

Naturally, he agreed right away.

So today, seeing Xu Nian appear on the island,

he immediately thought of this method.

Tempting everyone to participate in the comprehension.

He did not care about the other people.

If there was really someone who could complete this impossible test within three days,

then he would not mind passing all his skills.

Of course, if no one finished,

he would then choose the one who comprehended the most and give him the token.

As for his formation skills, then naturally, he would not teach anyone else.

Soon, everyone gathered in the square.

There were several dozen meditation cushions laid out.

In front of each person, four low grade spirit stones were also placed.

For basic formations, four low grade spirit stones were completely sufficient.

Moreover, he truly did not believe anyone could grasp the basic formation in three days.

"These are sixty-two jade scrolls, each containing the basic knowledge of formations and three entry-level formations, which are also divided into three ranks: first rank, second rank, and third rank, with the third rank being the most difficult. I do not expect you to comprehend the third rank, if any of you can even barely complete the first rank formation, I would consider it a win," the Dark God Island Master said.

After speaking, he waved his sleeve.

The sixty-two jade scrolls then flew into each person's hands.

After receiving the jade scrolls, people promptly found a meditation cushion to sit on.

Then everyone placed the jade scroll on their forehead to read the information inside.

Xu Nian also found a corner with a cushion to sit down.

He then started to hold the jade scroll to his forehead.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian instantly felt a massive wave of information surge from the jade scroll into his mind.

This information was huge and extremely obscure and difficult to understand.

"Ah..."

A young man with low cultivation, overwhelmed by the enormous information in the jade scroll,

just began to receive the information and was pained by the expanding sensation until he fainted.

Unable to even receive the information,

he was naturally eliminated right away.

Of course, some had no trouble receiving the information.

For instance, Xuan Hong and the two from Qingcheng Sect.

They were originally people of high strength.

Their soul levels naturally much higher than other Supreme Battle Emperors.

Thus, when they received this information, they felt no pressure at all.

Xu Nian was also alright, only feeling a slight swelling in his head.

It quickly disappeared.

After receiving this information,

Xu Nian began to develop a headache.

The positions of Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui in the array formation were very difficult to understand.

It was not something that could be managed by memory alone.

He had to thoroughly understand and integrate it.

Only then could he form the array in a short period of time.

Apart from this basic information, there were three incredibly mystical arrays.

Xu Nian could tell that these three arrays were the basic ones mentioned earlier by the Dark God Island Master.

After sorting out this information,

Xu Nian glanced around.

He noticed that everyone was deeply furrowing their brows, engrossed in contemplation.

Clearly, the abstruse information in the array had trapped them.

Xu Nian no longer thought too much about it.

He started to ponder over the fundamental knowledge of those arrays bit by bit.

Xu Nian had previously told the Divine Emperor Ye Tian that he wanted to learn about arrays.

But then Divine Emperor Ye Tian had fallen into a coma.

As a result, Xu Nian had never learned about them.

For him, everything was starting from scratch now.

...

While Xu Nian and the others were desperately trying to comprehend the basic array,

a woman in a long dress came from a distance.

She appeared to be only about twenty years old.

She was incredibly beautiful, with an elegant and antique charm.

Under her willow leaf-like brows was a red teardrop-shaped mole, adding to her stunning allure.

However, it was a pity that everyone around was busy understanding the array,

completely ignoring this beautiful woman.

"Master!"

The woman walked up to the Dark God Island Master and nodded.

"Mmm, you're back, good, I have something to tell you," the Dark God Island Master said with a smile.

This woman was a disciple he had recently taken in.

Though it had only been a few months, she had essentially mastered several Low Grade Arrays.

One could say that in the field of array cultivation, her talent was extraordinarily high.

The only downside was her overly cold demeanor.

She appeared indifferent towards almost everything.

Only the arrays truly captivated her.

"This time I let these people participate in comprehending the array together, you don't mind, do you?" the Dark God Island Master spoke to the woman.

"The things Master does always have their reasons. I will follow your orders," the woman spoke softly.

The Dark God Island Master shook his head helplessly.

"You know, it would be good if you could be a bit more lively. Alright, no more idle talk. Do you see that young man over there? His name is Xu Nian. Keep an eye on him for me these three days, and after that, help me test him to see to what extent he has understood the array," the Dark God Island Master said telepathically.

The woman looked in the direction pointed by the Dark God Island and quickly fixed her gaze on a young man in the corner.

He had a resolute and handsome face.

On that face, the woman sensed a maturity that did not match his age.

"Is he the Xu Nian that Master has been mentioning?" the woman thought curiously.
