Chapter 615: Chapter 615

"I only started the research on the ’True Martial Seven Style Formation’ after the first ten-day tournament, and today is the seventh day of the fourth ten-day tournament, just about a month!"

In just a month, it was successful!

But Yan Chuan knew the reason very well: "Although my array foundation is average, I’ve been voraciously consuming various array classics lately. Moreover, in Heavenly Ladder City, during the ’King City Competition,’ every team more or less mastered the coordinated attack techniques, and the audience has learned quite a bit from watching. These people give me feedback and inspiration, so the research and development of ’True Martial Seven Style Formation’ is of course swift."

Not only the ’True Martial Seven Style Formation’ progressed quickly.

The arrays Yan Chuan specifically developed for the Tan Valley Army also made fast progress in the ’King City Competition’—

[Xin Level Five Stars: Little Arhat Formation!]

[Geng Level One Star: Eighteen Copper Men Formation!]

[Geng Level Two Stars: Dharma’s Twenty-Four Arhats Formation!]

[Geng Level Three Stars: Thirty-Six Room Iron Bucket Formation!]

"Little Arhat Formation" → "Eighteen Copper Men Formation" → "Dharma’s Twenty-Four Arhats Formation" → "Thirty-Six Room Iron Bucket Formation!" The most update n0vels are published on novel★fire.net

One formation after another, a continuous lineage.

Thirty thousand Tan Valley Army soldiers use ’Xingyi Boxing,’ ’Baji Fist,’ and other Five Fists as their foundation. Once their boxing techniques and foundation are established, they practice ’Little Arhat Formation’ in a group of nine people. When facing the enemy, the nine join forces, encircle the enemy completely, moving like flowing clouds and water, stopping with the weight of mountains, making it extremely difficult for the enemy to break through.

This formation is like a coiled snake, perfectly seamless.

Nine people form a formation, quickly enhancing combat power.

After fully mastering the ’Little Arhat Formation,’ they can advance to the eighteen-person ’Eighteen Copper Men Formation.’

The ’Eighteen Copper Men Formation’ consists of two ’Little Arhat Formations,’ but with more changes. The major change lies in the linkage of the qi mechanisms of the eighteen people, as if they are one, rapidly strengthening sinew, bone, skin, and membrane, becoming copper bones and copper skin, making them somewhat bulletproof, greatly increasing defense.

This formation is stronger, entering the realm of Absolute Skill.

But above the ’Eighteen Copper Men Formation’ is another formation, called ’Dharma’s Twenty-Four Arhats Formation,’ formed by twenty-four people, with even greater power.

Then there is Yan Chuan’s newly developed ’Thirty-Six Room Iron Bucket Formation,’ composed of four ’Little Arhat Formations,’ thirty-six people forming a formation, like an iron bucket, extremely hard to break.

Further down the line, in Yan Chuan’s plan—

There is the ’Seventy-Two Absolute Formation,’ formed by adding changes to eight ’Little Arhat Formations.’

There is also the ’Hundred and Eight Arhats Formation,’ formed with more changes from twelve ’Little Arhat Formations.’

And even the ’Five Hundred Arhats Formation,’ and the ’One Thousand and Eight Novice Monk Formation,’ with more people and greater power.

The ’Vajra Demon Suppression Circle’ formed by three people is also in the plan.

Based on the ’Little Arhat Formation,’ level by level, there are many arrays prepared for the thirty thousand Tan Valley Army.

This series of formations, while named after ’Arhat,’ has nothing to do with Buddhism and does not require studying Buddhist philosophy or scripture. It’s purely about borrowing the hard characteristics of ’Arhat,’ the name could well be ’Vajra’ too.

This series of formations is characterized by ’strength.’

Yan Chuan envisioned the ’Eight Hundred Eighteen Arhats Formation,’ formed by one hundred and eight soldiers. Once activated, the onslaught is relentless and endless; even if not killed, over time, the enemy might be exhausted to death.

Soldiers use boxing as their foundation, also practicing ’Lion Roar,’ a breathing and opening sound technique. Once the formation is set, soldiers shout ’kill,’ wind surges, sand and stones fly, the opponent feels overwhelmed, as though thrown into a huge, swift vortex, dragged down uncontrollably, drained of energy, and eventually captured.

The formation’s changes are exceedingly marvelous upon activation.

The ’Hundred and Eight Arhats Formation,’ deemed an extraordinary military formation.

This is a military formation based on boxing, applicable to swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and pitchforks.

Furthermore, after the ’Arhat’ series formations, Yan Chuan plans to develop a ’Heavenly Gang’ series, based on the ’Little Beidou Formation,’ grounded in sword techniques, prepared for the Five Directions Sword Pavilion in Hundred Flower Palace, combining insights and essences of the formations of Wudang and Quanzhen sects.

’Heavenly Gang Series’!

Two sets of formations, whether for Tan Valley Army or Hundred Flower Palace, forming a great formation could be terrifying.

However, the day is still far off, and being invincible is a beautiful vision. Not only does it require Yan Chuan considerable time to develop both series, but also substantial time for the Tan Valley Army soldiers and Hundred Flower Palace disciples to study, practice, and master them.

Impossible in ten days or half a month.

A year or two is also challenging.

Perhaps it will take ten or eight years to mature.

Perhaps decades to truly form a systematic inheritance, able to teach from one generation to the next, maintaining continuity.

This is in normal circumstances.

For example, Quanzhen.

For example, Shaolin.

All are ten years of unremitting practice, supported by generations of talent to sustain such a foundation.

Hundred Flower Palace.

Will follow this process again.

"I have ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ personally instructing and guiding, perhaps this process can be further shortened."

Yan Chuan eagerly anticipates the day when Tan Valley Army masters the ’Arhat System,’ and Hundred Flower Palace masters the ’Heavenly Gang System.’

The third-level ’Derivation Skill’ can simultaneously establish six tasks, and taking advantage of this wave of task completion, Yan Chuan re-planned the use of each task slot—
