The Flame Master was a master with decent strength in Sky Array City. He was considered outstanding among the many array formation masters.
Of course, there were many array formation masters in Sky Array City who were better than the Flame Master. However, they were usually elusive and ordinary martialists simply couldn't see them.
The Flame Master would often come to the public square and personally set up array formations before explaining them to martialists who were interested in array formations. Over time, the Flame Master had gained a large number of fans in Sky Array City.
As long as the Flame Master gave a public lecture on array formations, many martialists would come to support him. Today was the day that the Flame Master gave a public lecture on array formations.
Fang Chen looked at the countless martialists on the street and couldn't help but sigh. He was indeed an array formation master. Just one public lecture could actually attract so many martialists.
Fang Chen pondered this for a moment before quickly walking forward. He wanted to see what the Flame Master was capable of.
Ever since he had come into contact with array formations, Fang Chen had realized that array formations were like a vast ocean with countless drifters.
However, some drifters were unable to find the essence of array formations even after spending their entire lives. Some drifters, on the other hand, were gifted and quickly grasped the essence of array formations. Thus, they were able to innovate on array formations and grow rapidly.
The Flame Master was one of them. Back then, the Flame Master had wanted to learn array formations from a master. However, during the test, the Flame Master had been found to have almost zero array formation talent.
Everyone knew very well what this meant.
A person with almost zero array formation talent simply couldn't learn array formations. Even if he tried, it would just be a waste of time.
However, the Flame Master didn't believe in heresy. He searched for all the books on array formations and even memorized the Array Formation Basics.
In the end, he relied on his self-study to become an array formation apprentice. His tenacity attracted the attention of other array formation almighties and he received their approval. Finally, he entered the array formation path.
In the days that followed, there were countless legends about the Flame Master. However, no one knew that the Flame Master was the person with almost zero array formation talent.
It wasn't until one day, when the Flame Master gave a public lecture on array formations that everyone was enlightened.
The Flame Grandmaster's life was very inspirational. The reason why he publicly explained the Array Dao was because he wanted to help those martial artists who were like him but didn't have the talent for Array Dao.
When Fang Chen arrived at the square, there was already a sea of people. Countless warriors were looking at a figure in the middle of the square with frenzied looks on their faces.
In the middle of the square, there was a middle-aged man in fiery red clothes. He was the Flame Master.
The reason why he was called the Flame Grandmaster was because the formations he set up were most proficient in fire-attribute formations.
At this moment, the Flame Grandmaster looked at the sea of people with a smile on his face. "Everyone, today I will be explaining the essence of the Fire Frost Array."
Hearing the Flame Grandmaster's words, there was an uproar in the square. Countless warriors shouted the Flame Grandmaster's name.
"As expected of a Flame Grandmaster. He can even set up a formation like the Fire Frost Formation," a warrior exclaimed.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and sized up the Flame Grandmaster. Of course, Fang Chen knew about the Fire Chill Array that the Flame Grandmaster mentioned.
The Fire Chill Array was a top-grade Origin Grade Array Formation. Among the Origin Grade Array Formations, it was considered one of the top few.
Of course, if it was set up by a powerful Array Formation Grandmaster, its might would even be comparable to a Spirit Grade Array Formation.
Although the Fire Chill Array Formation was powerful, it was very difficult to set it up. The slightest carelessness could lead to failure and even a backlash.
When he heard that the Flame Grandmaster was setting up the Fire Chill Array, Fang Chen looked forward to it.
As soon as the Flame Grandmaster said that, he suddenly waved his hands. Immediately, countless tiny rays of light scattered from his palms onto the square.
In an instant, an extremely wild flame aura appeared on the square. Then, a small array formation appeared in the middle of the square.
Within the array formation, there was a raging fire that looked as though it wanted to roast people. However, the surrounding warriors didn't feel any heat at all. Instead, they felt waves of coolness emanating from the array formation.
"Is this the Fire Chill Array?" Some warriors exclaimed in a low voice.
After the Flame Grandmaster finished setting up the Fire Chill Array, he pointed at the array formation and said, "This array formation is the Fire Chill Array. There are a total of seventy-two array bases. Sixty-four of them are made of Flame Pearls, while the remaining eight are made of Ice Pearls. The process of setting it up is very complicated.
As for the control center of the array, it is in the raging fire within the array formation. Ordinary people can't find it at all. "
As the Flame Grandmaster spoke with assurance, the other warriors on the square fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Flame Grandmaster, may I ask how you control the array bases when you set up the array formation?"
Hearing this voice, everyone's gaze turned towards the source of the voice.
"It's Nine Array Pavilion's Jiu Xu." Someone said.
Nine Array Pavilion was one of the major forces in Sky Array City. Although it wasn't a top force, it couldn't be underestimated. Jiu Xu was one of the top experts of the younger generation in Nine Array Pavilion. His cultivation base had reached the Fifth Level of the Condensing Reality Realm. He was very talented in arrays and had become an Array Master at such a young age.
"So it's Nine Array Pavilion's Jiu Xu."
The Flame Grandmaster nodded at Jiu Xu and said, "If I'm not wrong, you should have been promoted to an Array Master not long ago, right?"
The Flame Grandmaster's attitude towards Jiu Xu was very gentle, and his face was full of smiles.
Hearing the Flame Grandmaster's words, many warriors exclaimed.
"Oh my god, Jiu Xu has already become an Array Master? No wonder the Flame Grandmaster is so gentle towards him."
"No wonder he's the most outstanding Array Master of the younger generation in Nine Array Pavilion. He's really amazing."
"To be able to achieve this at such a young age, he will definitely become a top Array Master in the future."
Many warriors were discussing Jiu Xu, their hearts filled with shock.
In the crowd, Fang Chen was also carefully sizing up this Nine Array Pavilion's Jiu Xu. At least in terms of arrays, he wasn't as good as this person.
"Jiu Xu, you haven't been an Array Master for long, so you don't know. You'll naturally find out after some time, but since you've asked me today, I'll naturally tell you."
The Flame Grandmaster said slowly, "The Cold Fire Array has a total of 72 array bases. If you observe carefully, these 72 array bases actually follow a pattern. That is, for every eight fire array bases, there is an ice array base.
When you're setting up the array bases, you just need to control it slightly. "
After hearing the Flame Grandmaster's explanation, Jiu Xu instantly understood and nodded his head in satisfaction.
However, at that moment, a discordant voice entered everyone's ears.
"It's not like that."
Fang Chen was observing the Cold Fire Array when he was suddenly awakened by the Flame Grandmaster's words and immediately blurted out.
When they heard Fang Chen's voice, everyone's gaze turned towards Fang Chen. Even Jiu Xu and the Flame Grandmaster from Nine Array Pavilion turned their heads to look at him.
"Hmph, he's just an ordinary warrior. How dare he criticize the Flame Grandmaster for setting up an array?"
"The current Sky Array City is really a place where any Tom, Dick, and Harry can enter. Trash like him who specializes in ruining the atmosphere really deserves to die."
"Kid, if you say it's not like that, don't tell me you're better than the Flame Grandmaster?"
"Kid, if you don't give us a good reason today, I definitely won't let you off."
Many martialists thought that Fang Chen had come to cause trouble and were furious.
"Kid, I'll give you a chance to apologize to the Flame Grandmaster," Jiu Xu from Nine Array Pavilion said icily as he slowly walked over to Fang Chen.
His words were filled with threat, as if he would kill Fang Chen if Fang Chen didn't apologize.
"Could it be that the great Flame Grandmaster only allows others to flatter him and not point out his mistakes?" Fang Chen had wanted to keep a low profile, but he had accidentally said such a thing.
He had originally intended to let it go, but he hadn't expected that Jiu Xu would actually threaten him to apologize.
The Flame Grandmaster frowned when he heard Fang Chen's words. However, he was still a grandmaster, so he slowly said, "Since this little friend thinks that I'm wrong, then why don't you tell me the correct way to set up the array?"
Jiu Xu didn't say anything else after the Flame Grandmaster had spoken. However, he still glared icily at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen took a step forward and looked at the Cold Fire Array. Then, a large amount of array formation information appeared in his mind. This information was basically the array formation comprehensions that Fang Chen had obtained from the Sky Ghost Forest.
Of course, Fang Chen hadn't carefully looked through it all these days. He had only looked at a small portion, which just so happened to explain how to set up the Cold Fire Array. It was very detailed.
"The Cold Fire Array is a top-grade Yuan Grade array formation. If set up properly, its might can completely compare to a Spirit Grade array formation. You can't deny this, right, Flame Grandmaster?" Fang Chen asked.
The Flame Grandmaster nodded but didn't say anything.
Fang Chen continued, "In truth, the Cold Fire Array is just as the Flame Grandmaster said. There is a pattern to how it is set up. As long as you grasp that pattern, you can easily set it up."
Jiu Xu's expression changed when he heard Fang Chen's words. He icily said, "Do you even need to tell me that? You're not just stalling for time, are you?"
Fang Chen directly ignored Jiu Xu and continued, "The Flame Grandmaster's method of setting up the array foundations isn't wrong. It's just that this method is extremely difficult for an ordinary formation grandmaster to control. The failure rate would be a bit higher."
"In truth, the Cold Fire Array's array foundations can be set up like this. There are a total of seventy-two array foundations that can be set up three times."
Fang Chen spoke frankly. At first, the Flame Grandmaster hadn't been moved. He had even been disdainful.
However, as Fang Chen's explanation went deeper, the Flame Grandmaster's expression began to change.
"Hmm? Why have I never thought of this method before?" The Flame Grandmaster was filled with doubt.
He actually couldn't find the slightest mistake in Fang Chen's method of setting up the array foundations. Furthermore, he had a faint feeling that this method was much simpler than his own method. It also had a higher success rate.
"Alright, that's all I wanted to say," said Fang Chen.
