Chapter 173 Because Tang Yan was beaten
After dealing with Tang Yan, Zi Yun flashed and disappeared on the first floor.
Tang Yan stood up with a grin and rubbed his waist.
Limping to the wooden tub that Ziyun used for bathing, Tang Yan could clearly see from the reflection of the water that his face was covered with bruises.
He gave a helpless smile. He unexpectedly saw her changing clothes in the morning, and now he saw her taking a bath. He was lucky that he was not beaten to death.
Tang Yan knew that most of his injuries were minor. The only time he used force was when he kicked out in anger at the end.
"I've already been beaten, I should be able to continue living." He sighed, took out a porcelain bottle, poured out the ointment and applied it to the affected area, then sat cross-legged to practice.
The next morning, when the first ray of dawn broke through the darkness, Tang Yan slowly opened his eyes.
A faint blue light flashed across his pupils. Feeling the spiritual power growing in his body, a smile appeared on Tang Yan's face.
The Nine Nether Sea of Fire really helped him achieve twice the result with half the effort in his cultivation.
After putting on his clothes, Tang Yan came to the front of the courtyard and practiced the six extreme moves. When the time was almost up, he walked towards the formation pavilion.
When we arrived at the Zhen Pavilion, Master Zhen was already waiting there.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Master Zhen." Tang Yan hurried over to greet him.
"It's okay, the time is just right." Zhen Lao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go to the backyard to practice."
Taking Tang Yan through the hall, they soon arrived at an open space in the backyard.
"Show me the condensed array points." Old Huo ordered.
Tang Yan did as he was told, and the internal Qi circulated. Nine array points appeared without warning and floated in front of Tang Yan.
Master Zhen couldn't help but twitch his brows. This little fellow could actually create nine array points at the same time?
After taking a deep breath, Master Zhen asked, "Have you ever learned Zhen Wu before?"
"No." Tang Yan shook his head.
"Then I will teach you how to set up the formation today. Formation points are the foundation of formation martial arts. Just being able to condense formation points is only the beginning. If you want to condense a formation with lethality, you need a formation martial arts diagram."
"Formation Martial Arts Diagram?" A hint of doubt flashed across Tang Yan's eyes.
"The formation diagram is the layout of the formation points. Only when they are arranged according to a specific rule can the formation points be activated to play a role.
Every battle formation diagram is extremely exquisite.
I will show you the battle formation diagram from last night, and you will see how I arrange it."
After the old master finished speaking, eight array points suddenly appeared in the air and then moved rapidly. As the array points drew tracks, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly gathered in the array at this moment, and a sharp aura emanated from the array.
"Ding ding ding..." Just like yesterday, sharp blades fell from the air, making crisp sounds on the ground.
Although the blade disappeared completely when it hit the ground, the deep pits on the ground showed that everything that just appeared was not an illusion.
Seeing the destructive power of the blade, Tang Yan couldn't help but smack his lips. The old man had shown mercy yesterday. Otherwise, if he had used his full strength, even if it was only a first-level spiritual formation, it would have been enough to get him into trouble.
"This formation is called 'Rain Front'. As long as you lock onto the target, you can launch an attack. And it only requires eight formation points, which is just right for your current practice." The old formation master explained.
Tang Yan was overjoyed. Ever since he witnessed the power of Zhenwu yesterday, he has been obsessed with Zhenwu. At this moment, he asked expectantly, "When can I practice it?"
"You can do it now." The old master did not hide anything, and a scroll flew out from his storage space: "Study it carefully, and ask me if you have any questions. When you have truly learned this formation, return the scroll to me."
"Thank you, Master Zhen." Tang Yan reached out to take the formation diagram, opened it and took a look, only to find that the things recorded on it were obscure, mysterious and profound.
It took Tang Yan half an hour to memorize the formation diagram from beginning to end.
After reading the instructions on the formation diagram, Tang Yan put the scroll away.
"What's wrong? Don't you understand?" asked Mr. Zhen with a smile.
“The martial arts formation is indeed extremely exquisite, and it has opened up another world of martial arts.
The first-level formation diagram is not that difficult to understand, but there cannot be any mistakes in the layout. This requires very skilled control of the formation points to accurately grasp the strength.
I want to consolidate my practice of the lower formation point first.
Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Laying a solid foundation will make it easier to implement it. "Tang Yan explained.
The admiration in Zhen Lao's eyes was no longer concealed, and he sighed and said, "It is rare for someone so young to have such insights.
However, no matter how talented a person is, he still needs to practice hard to reach a certain level. Don't be lazy when practicing."
"Master Zhen, don't worry!"
Master Zhen gave a few more instructions and then let Tang Yan practice on his own.
Tang Yan didn't say anything more. He stood in place and began to control the formation points.
Lines of array points kept appearing and disappearing.
Appear, disappear.
Reappear, disappear again...
The old man who had been watching Tang Yan's practice on the side, saw Tang Yan practicing over and over again, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
What on earth is this little guy doing?
The method that can really lay a solid foundation is generally to directly use the array points that you can control and manipulate them with all your strength, thereby improving your proficiency in controlling the array points.
However, Master Zhen did not rush to remind Tang Yan that a person's cultivation is destined to not be smooth sailing, so it would be better for him to suffer a little.
Time passed by second by second, half an hour, one hour, two hours, three hours...
It's been such a long time, why are you still insisting on these useless efforts? Well, I'll remind you... Seeing that Tang Yan was still repeating the previous actions, Zhen Lao sighed and was about to remind him, when suddenly, another array point suddenly appeared in front of Tang Yan.
This array point appeared without any warning, as fast as lightning. The old man's eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, suddenly flashed with a sharp light at this moment, and his heart also jumped violently.
He focused his attention on looking at Tang Yan for a few seconds before he let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair.
At this moment, Master Zhen finally realized where he went wrong.
Tang Yan’s constant practice was not to hone his ability to control the formation points, but to practice the speed of deploying the formation points!
With a thought, a formation point appeared in front of Zhen Lao, disappeared, and appeared...
He carefully compared his speed in casting formation points with that of Tang Yan. Although Tang Yan was slower than him now, Zhen Lao knew that as Tang Yan's strength increased, it was only a matter of time before the speed of casting formation points would catch up with or even surpass his own!
"Genius, what a genius..." Old Zhen kept sighing.
It was not until it was getting dark that Tang Yan came back to his senses from practice.
After bidding farewell to Master Zhen, Tang Yan hurriedly headed towards the Nine Nether Sea of Fire.
Most of the spiritual energy has been consumed today, so it is a good time to replenish it.
Tang Yan went straight into the third floor and began to practice with great concentration.
For the next two days, Tang Yan lived a life that revolved around the Formation Pavilion, the Nine Nether Sea of Fire, and the dormitory.
On this day, Tang Yan just walked out of the formation pavilion and hurried towards the Nine Nether Sea of Fire.
After continuous high-intensity training, Tang Yan felt that his strength was showing signs of a breakthrough.
"Have you heard that today a kid named Du Shu in the East District was beaten up because of Tang Yan!"
Tang Yan was thinking about the formation of the formation when suddenly a discussion came from the side, attracting Tang Yan's attention.
