When Pushi mentioned the Hundred Spirit Grass, Ge Zheng's face suddenly became unnatural. His old face twitched slightly. The Hundred Spirit Grass was a rare spirit herb. He had spent a total of eighty thousand spirit coins to buy it. Although Array Manipulators earned money like drinking water, eighty thousand spirit coins was obviously not a simple drop of water. He could not be careless.
Most importantly, Ge Zheng knew Pushi very well. When he saw Pushi's confident expression and chuckle, he was immediately shaken. Could it be that the youth in the black robe in front of him could really pass the test?
"What's wrong, old man? You don't dare?"
Pushi laughed.
Ge Zheng's old face turned red. He said angrily, "Why wouldn't I dare! I'll take your joke! "
Thinking about it, a sixteen-year-old Array Manipulator was simply a fantasy. He was unwilling to believe it.
"Okay, then let's begin."
Pushi laughed.
Seeing Pushi and Ge Zheng open a bet, and the center of the bet was still himself, Lin Tian was also somewhat speechless. However, although he was somewhat speechless, he did not feel the slightest pressure. With his current level of Array Manipulation, he could definitely easily pass the Array Manipulator Association's certification test.
Ge Zheng snorted and said to the female attendant, "Prepare the materials."
"Yes, Elder."
The female attendant responded.
Seeing this scene, many onlookers in the association looked over. Many of them had excited expressions on their faces. The Array Manipulator Association's certification test was extremely rare. It was not something that could be seen often.
The female attendant walked into the depths of the association. Not long after, she took out three starter scrolls and three Martial Fusion Rune Inks.
Ge Zheng looked at Lin Tian and snorted, "The association has already prepared the starter scrolls and Martial Fusion Rune Inks. Since Pushi is your guarantor, then fine. Today, I'll even waive the certification fee for you. You only need to inscribe an inferior Martial Fusion Rune and you'll pass. I'll give you three chances!"
The path of formation runes was broad and profound. The same formation runes, when inscribed by Array Manipulators of different levels, would often result in different results. Therefore, generally speaking, the same formation runes would be divided into three levels: superior, intermediate, and inferior. Low grade was naturally the lowest grade, and the Martial Fusion Rune itself was the most basic formation rune. Thus, inscribing a low grade Martial Fusion Rune could be considered as barely reaching the passing line for a rank one formation controller.
Under the black robe, Lin Tian was a bit displeased. Although being able to inscribe an Inferior Martial Fusion Marking was already considered to have truly passed the Formation Manipulator certification test, when he heard the azure-robed old man's words, it was obvious that he still didn't believe him. Since it was like this again and again, he immediately became angry.
Sweeping his gaze over the initial scroll and the ink that the female attendant was carrying, he spoke in a calm voice, "Martial Rune Fusion seems to be too simple. In order to prevent Elder Ge from saying that I barely passed, let's change the content of the examination in advance. I'll draw the Spirit Gathering Rune. One chance is enough."
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed. Even Pushi was moved.
The Spirit Gathering Rune was of a much higher level than the Martial Fusion Rune!
"Ignorant brat, don't spout nonsense!" Ge Zheng glared and shouted, "Even I, a rank two formation controller, have some difficulty inscribing the Spirit Gathering Rune. You're so young, yet you dare to say that you want to participate in this examination with the Spirit Gathering Rune?!"
"Isn't it better for you if I fail the examination?"
Lin Tiantan said calmly.
"You!"
Ge Zheng was instantly enraged. He was so angry that his beard was curling up.
Lin Tian couldn't be bothered with Ge Zheng anymore. He walked to the side and wrote down a list of materials. After that, he walked up to the female attendant and said, "Can you help me prepare these materials? I'm not very clear about where you place the materials here. Of course, I'll buy these materials myself. I'll pay for them later. "
The female attendant didn't know if she should agree or not. She tilted her head and looked at Ge Zheng.
"Prepare them for him!"
Ge Zheng snorted.
The female attendant hurriedly nodded and took the list from Lin Tian's hands. She said respectfully, "Please wait a moment!"
The entire guild fell silent for a moment.
Pushi walked to Lin Tian's side and said softly, "Little brother, are you really confident? To be honest, the drawing of the Spirit-Gathering Rune is indeed very difficult. Even I have to expend a lot of effort before I can complete it. "
"Don't worry, Old Pushi. There's no problem."
Lin Tiandao.
Seeing how confident Lin Tian was, Pushi also felt slightly relieved.
At this moment, the female attendant walked back. She had already chosen the materials according to Lin Tian's request.
"Many thanks."
Lin Tian said softly.
In order to encourage those who had yet to pass the Array Manipulator Master's certification test but were still working hard to cultivate the art of controlling formations, the Array Manipulator Association's test was held in the main hall of the association. Everyone in the association could bear witness. After receiving the materials from the female attendant, Lin Tian walked straight to the Array Manipulator Master's certification test platform.
Starter scroll, Soul Tooth Grass, Golden Armor Root, Spirit Fire Ape's blood essence, Frost Breaking Stone, Dark Leaf Sand.
Lin Tian's expression was calm as he laid them out one by one.
"Let's begin. The time limit is four hours. I want to see how you're going to draw the Spirit-Gathering Rune!"
Ge Zheng snorted.
As his words fell, everyone in the association looked at the test platform in unison.
Under the black robe, Lin Tian took a light breath. He placed his right hand on the test platform and spun in an arc. His palm slapped the surface of the platform. Instantly, the Soul Tooth Grass, Golden Armor Root, Frost Breaking Stone, and Dark Leaf Sand flew into the air.
This move immediately shocked everyone present.
"Brilliant!"
Someone couldn't help but whisper.
In front of the test platform, Lin Tian, who was under the black robe, had a calm expression. He channeled his True Essence and instantly crushed the four materials. Immediately after, after obtaining the mixture of the four materials, he waved his left hand. The Spirit Fire Ape's blood essence flew over and quickly merged with the mixture.
At this moment, he began to channel his soul force.
"This is?!"
Ge Zheng and Pushi were instantly shocked. They both sensed Lin Tian's tyrannical and pure soul force. Such a level of soul force had completely surpassed them.
"He's only 16 years old. How can he have such a strong soul force?! This isn't normal! "
Ge Zheng was shocked.
Different from martial dao talent, soul force could grow stronger as one's age and cultivation level increased. Usually, the soul force of a young person was more average. But now, the soul force that Lin Tian displayed stunned Ge Zheng and Pushi. How could this be the soul force that a 16-year-old youth possessed?
"This, I'm not sure either."
Pushi smiled bitterly.
Looking at Lin Tian in front of the test platform, even though Pushi was originally full of confidence, he was still shocked at this moment.
'This youth is too monstrous. How terrifying is the teacher behind him?!'
Pushi thought to himself.
Just as Pushi and Ge Zheng were still in shock, Lin Tian had already completed the concoction of the ink used to inscribe the Spirit Gathering Rune.
A fist-sized liquid floated in the air, shining with four colors.
"So beautiful!"
"Crystal clear, this …"
Many people were moved.
Looking at this scene, Ge Zheng's expression became unnatural again. There were even beads of perspiration on his forehead.
In front of the test platform, Lin Tian under the black robe was completely focused. He did not place the ink on the ground. Instead, he grabbed it with his right hand and wrapped it with his True Core Force and soul force. After that, his left hand shook and an initiation scroll flew over. Under the control of his True Core Force, the scroll opened on its own and spread out on the test platform.
Weng!
As the light flashed, Lin Tian focused and pressed his right hand down.
He activated the Heavenly One Soul Technique. His soul force surged like the Yellow River. Together with his True Core Force, he guided the ink on the initiation scroll. In an instant, two perfect runes appeared. After that, he flicked his five fingers. Suddenly, five different runes appeared at the same time.
"This is …"
"Five fingers moving at the same time. Could this be the legendary hand seal … Five Dragon God Flash?!"
Ge Zheng was shocked. Pushi was dumbstruck.
Both of them were Second Tier Array Manipulators, so they were relatively familiar with the hand seals used by Array Manipulators. Generally speaking, the majority of Array Manipulators would use a single finger to inscribe an array. The slightly more skilled ones would use two fingers, and the strongest ones would use three fingers. But right now, Lin Tian was actually using five fingers to inscribe an array!
With five fingers moving at the same time, the speed of carving runes would naturally be faster. If one could carve with five fingers at the same time, the connection between the different runes would be more compatible, and the level of the runes would be higher. At this moment, looking at Lin Tian's movements, Pushi and Ge Zheng's expressions froze.
Almost at the same time, in the association, even some of the outsiders were stunned.
Then, everyone's eyes lit up.
"What an elegant finger technique!"
"This young man seems to be able to do it!"
"No problem! He can do it! "
Many people murmured.
At the start, these people didn't think highly of Lin Tian and felt that Lin Tian was here to create trouble. Later on, because of Pushi, they were a little more surprised by Lin Tian. But now, these people were completely won over by Lin Tian's skills. Many people were shouting in their hearts, hoping that Lin Tian would succeed.
Time passed by very quickly.
There was silence everywhere.
At this moment, everyone had a tacit understanding to not make a single sound. They were worried that it would affect the young man in black robes who was diligently carving the Spirit-Gathering Rune.
Just like that, an hour passed very quickly.
"Condense!"
Just then, a clear shout rang out. Following a flash of light, everything calmed down.
Under the black robes, Lin Tian exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His essence, energy, and spirit relaxed.
Reaching out his right hand and holding the other end of the scroll, he lifted the Spirit-Gathering Rune scroll that he had just finished carving and presented it to Ge Zheng. He said calmly, "Elder Ge, are you satisfied?"
Looking at the Spirit-Gathering Rune in their field of vision, everyone was stunned.
The perfect drawing of the runes and the precise matching of the stripes... Although the Spirit-Gathering Rune, which was formed from the seven basic runes, was only about one inch in diameter, it gave off a majestic feeling as if it could attract endless spiritual light.
The entire association was dead silent.
At this moment, everyone could even hear the heartbeats of others. They could even hear the sound of others' breathing.
"Clap, clap, clap …" After a very long time, applause rang out. Looking at Lin Tian who was wrapped in black robes, Ge Zheng broke into a bitter smile. "I've lost. I'm convinced."
