Chapter 68: Learning About Formations And Arrays...
After walking for a few meters kranos reached the familiar building, it was the first year’s alpha arrays and formations, taking a deep breath he stepped inside. As soon as he entered what met his gaxe were a group of students, he realised that they numbered up to twenty.
He raised a brow in surprise, he didn’t think this many people would be interested in arrays and formations, but upon closer look he felt it was plausible, after all just by looking at how much arrays anf formations imparts a cultivator’s life, who wouldnt be fascinated?
They were all seated so kranos found a seat and sat down, he guessed that after the lecture was when everyone would pay the corresponding merit points. After seating he stared ahead, on the podium was a woman who appeared to be in her fifties, she was dressed in a dark blue daoist robe.
Seeing kranos enter, she reiterated what she just finished stating, "arrays basically involve using a weaker strength to defeath someone stronger," she then took out a scroll, pointing it carefully towards a different direction from the students she slowly unfurled it.
The next moment kranos was stunned, he saw that as soon as the scroll was opened a large fireball the sixe of a head exploded. The female teacher explained, "just this explosion is already at foundation establishment realm, but do you know? This scroll was actually created by someone at the qi condensation realm. Imagine you opponent defeating you because of this when they obviously have weaker strength"
The students stared at her with wide eyes as she explained, even kranos paid rapt attention to her every movements. The next mooment she raised her hand slightly, soon after kranos watched in astonishment as the room lit up with a pale green light.
"This is a formation, by inscribing mana lines into this room, i have altered the mana in the vicinity of the room, try absorbing mana." she spoke with a slight smile.
Immediately kranos and the others started cultivating, he was immediately shocked to discover that his absorption of mana had increased by at least threefold! Is this the power of a formation? He was shocked.
"There are many kinds of formations, bewildering formations to confuse people and trap them in an ilusion, attacking formations, defending formations and so on," she listed then continued, "this formations can be divided into grades similar to that of weapons, from basic, intermediate, advanced and so on. The formation i just displayed is an advanced spirit gathering formation."
While she explained she deactivated the formation in the room cauding the students to sigh in regret. "Although arrays and formations are similar in many ways, the main difference between then is that while arrays are often small or embedded in small object, formation are inscribed onto large objects."
