Hong Huang called Lin Fan to the workbench in the dormitory and asked him to take out paper and pen and draw circles, squares and triangles.

Lin Fan was puzzled, and Hong Huang explained, "The path of formations you are about to take is different from what you usually see. This may overturn what you have learned, but for the sake of the sect competition, you must change your understanding of formations."

After hearing this, Lin Fan swallowed his saliva and built a psychological defense for himself.

“These three shapes correspond to three types of formations. The triangle is stable, so it is very suitable for defense;

Although the square is not stable enough, but precisely because of its instability, the unpredictable square is very suitable as your means of attack;

The circle, on the other hand, possesses many of the characteristics of other shapes. It's not an exaggeration to say that it combines the strengths of all shapes. Therefore, you can use the circle formation as a transformation formation, granting benefits to your own side or negatively impacting the enemy. It's your choice."

"But Master, if there are only these three formations, can they really resist all the formations in the world?"

"Of course not. These three formations can also be combined, such as the combination of square and circle. As the ancients said, 'Without rules, there is no order.' So when you combine the square and circle, you can create a set of rules that everyone must abide by. The strength and scope of this rule is related to the spiritual energy and strength consumed by the person casting the formation."

"Even if the three are fused together, there are only six. So I'm guessing the effect of fusing two squares and a circle is different from a formation with one square and one circle."

"Yes, you can draw inferences from one example. It seems that you have a good understanding, Xiao Linzi."

In this way, Lin Fan practiced these three formations all night before going to bed. As for the fusion of the formations, of course he didn't learn it so quickly.

As for Hong Huang, Lin Fan's successful mastery of the graphic formation tonight was nothing short of a special discovery.

Because this set of graphic formations was completely made up by Hong Huang himself, and it has little to do with ordinary formations.

This means that either Lin Fan is extremely talented and has learned everything by himself, or it means that what Hong Huang said is true due to some coincidence, and it is indeed an ancient formation that has been lost. So in order to verify which guess is true, Hong Huang decided to verify it during tomorrow's talisman show.

The next day was the day when Lin Fan should have finished his daily tasks of swordsmanship and body training and practiced talismans under Hong Huang's persuasion, but his plan was disrupted by four acquaintances.

Lin Fan, who had just come out of the dormitory, glanced at the sky. Although the sun was still so dazzling, for a young man full of vitality, this was the sign of a fulfilling and happy day.

Lin Fan, who was walking with his back to the sun, soon discovered a clue - four shadows were approaching his own shadow.

Lin Fan subconsciously turned his head, and the people who came were the group of four people of different heights, weights and shapes that he had not seen for a long time.

"To prevent the destruction of Quwuzong and to protect the peace of Quwuzong"

"I, the boss, am tall."

"I'm the second oldest, but I'm definitely the shortest. Short."

"I'm different. I'm the third child and I'm fat."

"Is it my turn? I'm the fourth one, and I'm thin."

"The four of us would like to apologize to you for what we did before. Please forgive us."

The last sentence of Tall, Short, Fat and Thin made Lin Fan, who had originally taken a fighting stance, stunned for a few seconds.

"You guys, aren't you here to cause trouble for me?"

Lin Fan, who was not bothered by Tall, Short, Fat and Thin, felt uncomfortable instead, even though Tall, Short, Fat and Thin had only started bullying Lin Fan last month.

"No, no, we've deeply realized our mistakes since we were taught a lesson by Elder Wang."

"So what are you planning to do by coming to see me this time?"

Although Lin Fan no longer had a fighting posture, he still faced the four people in front of him, ready to fight at any time.

"Actually, we're here to challenge you. As you know, there's less than half a year left until the sect competition, so we're going to compete with you in the sect competition today."

Ai walked out from the group of four while speaking. When he finished his last sentence, he just turned his hand forward and pointed his finger at Lin Fan.

This series of actions undoubtedly means that the four of them can definitely defeat Lin Fan. They just want to achieve their own goals by defeating Lin Fan.

It just so happened that Lin Fan also wanted revenge, and with Hong Huang's help to him these days, he was also full of fighting spirit.

"Okay, let's compete. Who's afraid of who? So how do we compete?"

"Don't say we're bullying you. There are four of us and you're alone. So, let's compete in five events. We choose two and you choose three. That way, it's a best-of-five, three-match match. How do you think that is?"

"Okay, in that case, I'll choose weapons, alchemy, and physical training."

Lin Fan naturally had his own selfish reasons for choosing these three, because these three were the first to be learned and the most reliable.

The four of them, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin, and some thick, gathered in a circle and whispered for a while. Finally, the short one stood up and said, "Then we'll choose the beast taming and the spirit talisman."

When Lin Fan heard about the talisman, he looked embarrassed, because he had just learned about the talisman today, but now he had to compete directly.

"Hmph, in that case, I'll finish you off in three rounds."

Lin Fan made his usual pre-match harsh remark, but it made the four men, tall, short, fat, and thin, burst into laughter. This made Lin Fan even angrier, and he roared, "Are you guys still going to compete? If not, I'm leaving!"

Afterwards, Lin Fan discussed the order of the competition and the contestants with Tall, Short, Fat and Thin.

In the first round, Lin Fan competed in weapons, against a tall opponent; in the second round, he competed in alchemy, against a short opponent; in the third round, he competed in physical cultivation, against a fat opponent; in the fourth round, he competed in talismans, against a thin opponent; in the last round, he competed in beast taming, against a tall opponent again.

Lin Fan and Tall, Short, Fat and Thin all smiled after deciding on the order, as if this arrangement was a good thing for them.

At the beginning of the first game, Lin Fan was the first to show his weapon, which was the iron sword that Lin Fan used before meeting Hong Huang.

Gao then took out a storage bag from his waist and took out an iron rod from it.

"In this duel between the Chief of a Hundred Arms and the Lord of a Hundred Arms, will our clever, brave, and invincible elder brother win the first match, or will Lin Fan triumph by sheer luck?"

The short man yawning at the edge of the field shouted that he had volunteered to be the referee.

"Hey, can you hurry up and stop talking nonsense?" Lin Fan shouted impatiently to the dwarf, while at the same time he also took a posture ready to fight at any time.

Since Gao is the eldest brother, he naturally has some extraordinary qualities. He can feel that Lin Fan has changed a lot compared to before, so he is no longer lazy and stares at Lin Fan with a firm look as if he wants to join the party.

"First, I don't say hello, I say short; second, the game begins!"

At Ai's command, Lin Fan and Tall rushed towards each other at the same time, but in an instant, the sound of "bang" caused by the collision of swords and sticks reached the ears of the short, fat and thin one.

"In less than half a month, this Lin Fan was able to fight the boss on equal terms."

Short said to Fat and Thin. "Not really, but I believe Big Brother will definitely win. After all, I can't beat Big Brother either, but I was able to beat Lin Fan before." Fat replied with a smile.

"Is it my turn? I don't know, but I hope the boss wins." Thin is always a step behind.

Just as the three of them were chatting animatedly, the two people on the battlefield seemed to be about to decide the winner.

After the previous few collisions, the two sides have entered the stage where the outcome will be decided by one move. Lin Fan and Gao looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts from each other's eyes - they both wanted to win with one move.

The two who made the decision gradually slowed down their offensive. Lin Fan slowed down his breathing, and while looking at Gao, he moved slowly around the battlefield.

A breeze blew by, gently caressing the old tree beside the battlefield. The old tree seemed to respond to the breeze, shook its body, and a leaf fell off.

The leaves were floating slowly, but Lin Fan's mind was working rapidly. He gradually recalled the life energy that had given him the epiphany.

The fallen leaves finally landed right in the middle of Lin Fan and Gao, and this seemed to be the signal for the two to decide the outcome. Without any hesitation, the two approached each other at the same time again, which also made the three short, fat and thin people outside the battlefield hold their breath and stare at the battlefield intently.

While moving forward, Lin Fan used his last resort - controlling the gas. Suddenly, Lin Fan felt much lighter. Coupled with the push from behind, Lin Fan was the first to cross the fallen leaves. When he was about to touch Gao, he raised the sword to his head with both hands, and finally chopped down at Gao fiercely.

The law of "no harm when there is smoke" was also stable. The final attack of the two made the dust on the battlefield fly. When the smoke dispersed, one person was standing and the other was half-kneeling.

"Ha, it seems that I am slightly better." Lin Fan stretched out his hand towards Gao while panting.

"Well, you are a master." Gao held Lin Fan's hand and stood up with the help of his strength.
