Chapter 1,709 Successfully Advances

Qingyi'an, inside the square.

Within the energy dome, more than two thousand formation masters held formation flags one after another. As their arms continued to rise, the formation flags landed at specific positions in front of them.

More than two thousand formation masters set up their formations at the same time. The scene was spectacular and a rare opportunity. The followers in the stands around them all widened their eyes, and their excited gazes fell on the square, cheering for their respective formation masters.

In the first two hours, all the formation masters were trying their best to set up the formation. However, after two hours, from time to time, some formation masters could not hold on, and the formation they arranged had accidents and failed.

And as time goes by, more and more formation masters fail to set up formations!

"What's going on? There's still half an hour before the final time limit. How come nearly a hundred formation masters have already failed?"

Many of the attendants in the stands looked confused and frowned.

It stands to reason that all the formation masters invited by Grand Skylight have two skills. How can they fail to set up the formation easily?

"I also have some knowledge of formations. According to my judgment, in order to advance, the formation masters participating in the competition will try their best to arrange the strongest offensive formations they can. However, they have been setting up formations all year round, and their magic weapons have been more or less damaged. , the older the formation masters are, the more and more serious their natal magic weapon wounds will be. If they have been working hard and being dragged down by the natal magic weapon trauma, their performance will be seriously affected. Therefore, the further they go, the harder it is to persevere, and the probability of failure is Bigger too!”

A follower opened his mouth and explained to the confused people around him.

"I see."

All the attendants in the stands nodded their heads with astonishment on their faces.

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that in the last half hour, more formation masters will fail?"

One of the attendants thought of something and exclaimed.

"Indeed."

The attendant who had explained before spread his hands.

"This first round of exam questions is so difficult!"

The followers were in an uproar!

Time passed by minute by second, and as expected, the number of failed formation masters increased almost exponentially!

In the next half hour, there were as many as five or six hundred formation masters who failed!

From the 2,466 people who participated in the competition at the beginning, there were actually less than 2,000 formation masters who insisted on setting up the formation in the end!

Soon, three hours passed, and most of the remaining formation masters, including Master Yuan, had completed setting up the formation. Only a dozen formation masters had not yet completed the formation and were extremely busy.

"Okay, the time is up, all formation masters, please stop setting up formations."

Following Master Jingyuan's order, the energy shield suddenly opened!

"Bang!"

A formation master who was concentrating on setting up the formation was startled by the sudden opening of the light shield. The formation flag in his hand fell to the wrong position. There was an error in the formation, and it exploded. A violent wave of air surged towards him. !

"Help!"

The formation master was shocked, his face instantly turned pale, and he started to scream. The hearts of all the attendants in the stands around him were also in their throats.

Fortunately, the surrounding white light roared out, forming a white energy network that enveloped the entire formation, completely isolating the power of the explosion.

"call!"

Looking at the explosive formation in front of him with palpitations, the formation master let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Gran Cloud was well prepared, otherwise he would have been the first formation master to be killed by his own attack formation, and would have become a joke to everyone!

"Thank you, Master Jingyuan, for saving my life."

Wiping away the cold sweat from his temples, the formation master raised his hands and expressed gratitude.

Master Jingyuan smiled and nodded, looking across the square, and said:

"I'm sorry to all the formation masters who haven't completed the formation yet. The time has come. Please stop your movements to avoid similar accidental injuries."

The dozen or so unfinished formation masters around him sighed helplessly, shook their heads slowly, and put down the formation flags in their hands.

"Hey, Master Yuan actually persisted and completed the formation. It really surprised me, Gu!"

Not far from Master Yuan, Master Gu said with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"I have already said that my natal magic weapon is intact as before. It is a piece of cake for me to complete the formation!"

Master Yuan smiled faintly and felt relieved. Fortunately, he got thousands of black crystals from Qin Guan during this trip to repair his natal magic weapon. Otherwise, I am afraid that this first round of competition would be as Master Gu predicted, and he would have been eliminated. !

"So what if the formation is completed? It's just the end of the battle. With your level, you will definitely not be able to enter the top 300. What's there to be happy about!"

Master Gu shook his head and sneered.

"Can't get into the top 300? Then let's wait and see."

Master Yuan also shook his head, too lazy to continue arguing with Master Gu.

"We also ask all the formation masters to withdraw. Next, we will test the power of the offensive formations you have deployed one by one. After all statistics are completed, the names of the top 300 formation masters who won the final victory will be announced one by one according to their rankings."

Master Jingyuan's voice fell, and the remaining thousand or so formation masters left the stage one after another and walked outside the square.

The next moment, a huge white light enveloped the entire square, and a series of heart-stopping roars came from the white light. It was obviously the attack formation arranged by the formation masters during the test.

In the anxious and expectant eyes of everyone, half an hour later, the roaring sound ended and the white light gradually dissipated.

"Everyone, after the test just now, the ranking of the power of the deployed offensive formations has been released. Next, I will announce the results of the first round."

Master Jingyuan said in a loud voice:

"First place, Lu Zhiming!"

"Second place, Guangwen Luo!"

"..."

As the results were announced, the two formation masters wearing the robes of the 12th-level formation masters clenched their fists excitedly, their faces full of excitement, and the people around them also cast envious eyes on them.

"..."

"Fifty-sixth place, Gu Dayou!"

As this name appeared, Master Gu's eyes shone with light and he smiled proudly.

This result was completely within his expectations.

"One hundred and twenty-sixth place, Yuanmou!"

As the following rankings appeared, Master Gu was stunned when he heard the name Yuanmou, and he instinctively said:

"What! Yuanmou is actually the 126th? This... How is it possible!"

This result surprised Master Gu!

Master Gu expected that Master Yuan would not even make it into the top 300, but now Yuanmou's result is actually the 126th, far exceeding his expectations!

"Your formation level has been stuck at level 11, how could you possibly reach 126th place!"

Master Gu's eyes flickered, and he looked at Master Yuan questioningly.

"Why not? My life-defining magic weapon is intact now, so of course I can perform at a higher level!"

Master Yuan showed a rare teasing smile on his face, and looked at Master Gu:

"I'm really sorry, I successfully advanced to the second round, and I disappointed you, Master Gu!"
