Chapter 163: Life 68, Age 33, Martial Grandmaster 7
When I appeared in the Trial, I looked across the cavern at my opponent, a large stone golem. As was common for the first five levels of this Trial, the construct didn’t move to attack me.
Normally at this point, I would begin setting up a few quick Qi Gathering Formations to drain the area of energy and pass the stage without a fight, but this time, I had a different idea in mind. I had learned a lot about fighting recently, and it would be good to use these early levels to hone my skills.
Since the golem wouldn’t take the initiative to attack, I spent several minutes setting up a few safety measures around the room in the event that I felt out of my depth once the fighting started. These included a few Shielding Formations to provide me places to hide and a few Qi Gathering Formations that I could activate if needed to partially drain the energy from the environment and slow the golem down.
Once everything was set up, I studied the golem to figure out the best ways to attack it. As I did, a new idea popped into my head.
I cautiously approached the golem and activated my formation analysis ability.
