Hong Guang immediately came to a realization. He was muddle-headed earlier and almost made a mistake.
"En, I guess you can say that you passed!"
After speaking, he ignored Zhang Xing and walked out of the door. The moment he turned around, the hatred in his eyes was about to burst out.
"Even if you passed the theoretical test, you definitely won't pass the practical test!"
Three hours later, the 30 examinees were brought to another examination venue.
"The practical test is divided into setting up formations and breaking formations."
"Those who successfully set up the basic formations are apprentices, those who set up the first-level formations are first-level formation masters, and so on."
"It's the same for breaking formations."
"But the difficulty of breaking formations is slightly higher..."
After listening to the invigilator's explanation, Zhang Xing understood the difficulty of breaking formations. It was like driving and repairing a car. Breaking formations was equivalent to repairing a car.
To set up a formation, one had to choose different materials according to the terrain and position, and set up according to the formation diagram.
However, it was much harder to break formations. First, one had to know what kind of formation it was. If one didn't know, they wouldn't be able to break it.
The first point was to make a judgment. The second point was to find the life gate of the formation. That would depend on one's understanding of the formation.
Therefore, there were difficulties in setting up and breaking formations. Both of them weren't easy to pass.
However, what the examinees were most proficient in and didn't want to break formations.
"Draw lots. Those who draw one will set up the formation, those who draw two will break the formation."
The invigilator looked at the bamboo stick that Hong Guang handed over and hesitated for a moment before taking it.
"Those whose names are called, come over and draw lots..."
Hong Guang cleared his throat and started to read out the names.
"Haha, I got set up the formation!"
"Me too."
"My luck isn't bad either!"
"..."
The last name was called out to Zhang Xing, and the number two was carved on the bamboo stick.
Out of the 30 examinees, only two were allowed to break the formation. It could be said that Zhang Xing had hit the jackpot.
The surrounding examinees looked at Zhang Xing and the other person with schadenfreude. These two brats were unlucky.
There was nothing wrong with Hong Guang's actions.
There were precedents in the past, but the ratio was 1: 10. This was the first time it was 2: 30.
With a mocking smile, Hong Guang was in a good mood.
"Zhang Xing, you have to be serious about breaking the formation. It's a little dangerous inside, but it's not life-threatening. Take this Magic Teleportation Talisman. Once you encounter danger, just activate it!"
Zhang Xing smiled and took the Teleportation Talisman. "Don't worry, Grandmaster Hongguang. Even if your life is in danger outside, I won't be in danger inside."
Hong Guang's face stiffened, and he snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take the exam!"
Zhang Xing turned around with a strange smile on his face.
Are you trying to make things difficult for me with a difficult array?
Dream on!
If you want me to set up a Grade 1 Array Formation or above, it would be a little difficult.
But if you want to talk about breaking formations … Haha, even level-7 or level-8 grand formations can be broken. Hongyuan, you miscalculated!
Under the mocking eyes of all the people around him, Zhang Xing walked through the door with his head held high.
The other examinee entered with a frown on his face.
Although it was the same door, the two of them weren't together after entering. Each of them faced a different formation.
Regardless of whether one was taking the apprentice exam or a Grade 1 Array Formation Master or above, as long as one felt that they had the ability, they could apply.
Any Array Formation Master who came out from breaking the formation naturally had limitless glory and would be worshipped by others.
However, such geniuses were extremely rare, and they all went on to achieve great things.
The branch leader here had actively applied to break the formation and displayed his talent. He was fancied by the higher-ups and was nurtured step by step.
