The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

Cui Cheng's strength was indeed quite impressive! He had successfully completed a sixth-grade mid-grade formation in less than four hours.

Compared with Yuan Chao, he was only a little over an hour slower.

At this moment, Cui Cheng was standing there, staring intently at the work he had just completed, and a look of confidence slowly appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Because he knew very well that although Yuan Chao's speed in setting up the formation was astonishingly fast, as the saying goes, more haste makes waste!

Yuan Chao completed the formation in such a hurry that he was bound to overlook some details.

But Cui Cheng is different. He spent more time and energy to carefully carve out every detail, so he firmly believes that the Nine-Curve Sword Formation he arranged with his own hands is definitely more powerful than Yuan Chao's.

Just then, there was a sudden shout: "I'm done too!"

This voice instantly attracted everyone's attention. Whether it was Yuan Haodong, the referee, or Yuan Chao, who had completed the formation first,

Even the audience members who were originally whispering and discussing among themselves, all focused their attention on Cui Cheng.

Faced with so many eyes, Cui Cheng was not at all nervous. Instead, he behaved very calmly.

Obviously, he really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention and being the center of everyone's attention.

Seeing that Cui Cheng had also successfully completed the formation, Yuan Haodong made a quick decision and said, "Since Contestant Cui Cheng has already finished, let's stop talking and start the testing phase!"

Before he finished speaking, he took out two crystal gold stones as big as human heads from his arms with swift movements and placed them into the Nine-Curve Sword Formation set up by the two people.

Crystal Gold Stone is a low-grade Earth-level ore. Many low-grade Earth-level spiritual weapons require a certain amount of Crystal Gold Stone when they are refined.

"Activate the sword formation!"

Yuan Haodong gave an order, and his voice was like a loud bell, echoing throughout the entire venue.

Upon hearing this, the two did not dare to delay at all. They understood each other and attacked together, each injecting the powerful spiritual power in their bodies into the Nine-Curve Sword Formation they had carefully arranged.

In an instant, the thirty-six swords seemed to be ignited and began to emit dazzling light.

These lights shine together like the bright stars in the night sky, dazzling and fascinating.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into countless sword shadows, densely covering the entire sky.

These sword shadows were like nimble fish, flying and shuttling back and forth in the air along nine-curve strange trajectories.

Each sword shadow contained powerful force and sharp edge, and they all attacked the crystal gold stone that fell into the formation.

For a moment, sword lights flashed, sword energy was everywhere, and the whole scene was spectacular.

Meanwhile, Cui Cheng, who was standing outside the arena, stared intently at the crystal stone that was tightly wrapped in layers of sword shadows with his eyes wide open, growling softly:

"Break it for me! Break it!"

Veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly from excessive nervousness.

This crystal gold stone is related to the success or failure of his competition. It can be said that it is his only hope to turn defeat into victory.

However, not far away, Bai Meng'er, the leader of Huanmeng Spiritual Sect, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "How can a mere sixth-order mid-grade formation do anything to this incomparably hard crystal gold stone?

Even though the Nine-Curve Sword Formation has always been known for its strong attack power, at most it can only break some of its corners.

Is that guy named Cui Cheng crazy? He actually wants to use this level of formation to break the crystal stone.

Although Bai Meng'er herself is not a formation master, she has a good sister who is a formation master with the strength of the lower eighth level.

As she was exposed to various formations on a daily basis, she naturally had a good understanding of the power and characteristics of the various formations.

"Master Bai, you are wrong! The art of formation is vast and profound, its connotations are as deep as the ocean, and its variations are endless.

Each formation contains endless potential and mysteries, waiting for future generations to dig deeper and explore.

However, the key to truly tapping into these potential forces lies in continuous innovation and the courage to experiment.

But we have to admit that this is by no means an easy task, and the difficulties involved are numerous and extremely difficult!

Precisely because of this difficulty, many formations are unlikely to change even after thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

It's precisely because of this that people in the world have the illusion that the power of formations is unchanging and impenetrable. Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen, president of the Fantasy City Formation Master Guild, could not help but slowly shook his head and solemnly corrected him.

"Oh? Is this true? Why have I never heard Mengyao mention it before?" Bai Meng'er frowned slightly, a puzzled look on her face, and murmured softly.

The Mengyao she was talking about was her good sister who was as close as a sister to her, the eighth-rank low-grade formation master.

"Hehehe... I believe she must have explained this matter in detail to your sect's formation masters.

It's just that you've never been interested in formations, so she never mentioned it to you." Yuan Haoran, the head of the Yuan family, explained with a smile on his face and a relaxed tone.

"makes sense."

At this time, in the simulation venue, Cui Cheng watched his Nine-Curve Sword Formation shatter some corners of the crystal gold stone, and his mood immediately improved.

"It's stable! This is the maximum power of the Nine-Curve Sword Formation. No matter how powerful Yuan Chao is, he can't surpass me. At most, he can be on par with me. This is enough for me." Cui Cheng thought to himself.

He never thought about defeating Yuan Chao from the beginning to the end, he just wanted to win one game out of the three competition events.

But the next scene was something he would never forget.

It was seen that the crystal gold stone as big as a human head actually showed cracks under the attack of the Nine-Curve Sword Formation arranged by Yuan Chao. Although the cracks were not big, they did appear.

"Impossible! How could a sixth-level mid-grade Nine-Curve Sword Formation cause such a big crack in the crystal gold stone! You are cheating! This is not a Nine-Curve Sword Formation at all!" Cui Cheng questioned loudly.

"Yes, yes! How could a sixth-level mid-grade formation possibly be so powerful? Could it be that Young Master Yuan cheated as Cui Cheng said?"

"How is that possible! With Master Yuan's strength, it would be easy for him to win this battle. Why would he need to cheat?"

……

"Master Yuan, what's going on?" Bai Meng'er looked at Yuan Haoran and asked.

Yuan Haoran didn't show any sign of nervousness at all. He just replied calmly, "You'll know in a moment."

Tang Zhen, who was standing aside, kept staring at the Nine-Curve Sword Formation set up by Yuan Chao, as if he had seen something.

"Nothing is impossible. The reason why my Nine-Curved Sword Formation is so powerful is because of its innovation and improvement."

Then Yuan Chao picked up two spirit stones and placed them at two key positions on the formation diagram. "Look, there are two formation centers in the Nine-Curved Sword Formation. I divide it into Yin and Yang formation centers.

The Yin Formation Eye is introverted and focuses on defense, absorbing the enemy's attack power and converting it into sword formation spiritual power;

The Yang Formation's eye projects outward, serving as the primary attack, unleashing spiritual energy like the blazing sun. The two interact in unison, like the alternation of the sun and the moon, a cycle of endless growth. Looking at the direction of these veins, they were originally connected in a straight line, but now I've transformed them into a circuitous, circling pattern."

Yuan Chao used his sword to draw a complex curve on the ground. "This way, the spiritual energy will circulate longer within the formation, allowing it to fully integrate and naturally increase its power. It's like turning loose sand into a huge rock."

Yuan Chao did not keep anything to himself, but shared all his insights and creations about the Nine-Curve Sword Formation, which would greatly enhance the status and reputation of the Yuan family.

As for the loss, it can be said to be negligible. After all, he is just a sixth-level mid-grade formation master.

Cui Cheng was greatly shocked to see that Yuan Chao told him his innovative insights into the Nine-Curve Sword Formation without hesitation.

"Young Master Yuan, I lost this match."
