Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2202 - 1028: Tumo Treasure Book (3)

"Watch out for every one of his plots..." Hold on a second.

Mo Hua felt extremely displeased.

Biases lodged in people's minds are truly like towering mountains.

It's simply absurd that a straightforward person like myself gets labeled as "cunning"...

Luckily, the "Schemes Section" contains only a brief amount of content, indicating it's merely a fringe viewpoint, a prejudice that's best ignored.

Mo Hua pressed on with his reading.

The "Magic Techniques Section" proved to be quite thorough, cataloging each basic Five Elements spell that Mo Hua had employed during the Sword Discussion Conference up to now.

It even included certain rare and specialized incantations that Mo Hua had used offhandedly once and then overlooked, all recorded in this "rulebook."

Each incantation came with notes on how to defend against it.

Being minor spells, they received little emphasis; most got explained in a single line.

The standout ones were the Fireball Technique and the Water Prison Technique.

The Fireball Technique stood out especially.

The descriptions brimmed with alerts: "Guard against the Fireball Technique!", "Stay alert for the Fireball Technique’s ultimate strike!", "Prefer death over disgrace, keep it in mind!"

After the Water Prison Technique, there followed a rundown of its warnings, along with runes, spiritual artifacts, and spell elements that could neutralize it.

Plus remarks such as, "The Water Prison Technique is revolting," "Endure ten Earth Prison Skills over a single Water Prison Technique."

Though it's uncertain who authored these phrases.

Mo Hua could faintly detect the "teeth-grinding" resentment and agony seeping through the lines.

Next, the Concealment Techniques were outlined with plenty of advisories.

Covering the source of his Concealment Technique, various concealment varieties, ways to dispel concealment, pursuit tactics, and optimal moments for deploying spiritual artifacts...

Meanwhile, an annotation stated:

"Stay vigilant against Mo Hua's use of obvious concealment to trick you, or you'll end up as a 'complete idiot,' don't forget."

Mo Hua felt baffled.

Complete idiot? Who exactly?

After the "Magic Techniques Section" came the "Movement Techniques Section."

This part was far more "expert."

An individual had analyzed and deconstructed Mo Hua’s movement skills, detail by detail, and inscribed them into the jade slip.

Dissecting them step by step.

It even pointed out certain weaknesses in the movement skills.

These probably came from reviewing shadow recordings, carefully studied and illustrated.

Every motion and step in the skills had been examined in such depth, as though the sweat glands were inspected too.

Their vision must have almost failed from the strain.

Mo Hua let out a sigh, yet remained mostly untroubled.

After all, movement skills represent a type of skill.

Even if his patterns become known and his vulnerabilities exposed, without matching speed, agility, or refinement in their own movement skills, they couldn't hope to seize him.

Furthermore, the core strength of Mo Hua’s Water Passing Step stems from precise and robust divine sense mastery.

Simply cracking a few "patterns" amounts to little.

Therefore, this "Movement Techniques Section," despite its apparent depth, amounts to just "theoretical chatter," nothing to dread.

Yet the "Formation Techniques Section" teems with the most material, posing a real challenge.

Mo Hua scanned two sentences and immediately furrowed his brow.

Just as he thought, this targeted his formations directly, using real sword discussions to mimic fights and craft opposing plans.

So far, his deployment of advanced formations in fights had stayed minimal.

Certain tactics he had withheld.

In theory, there ought to be scant data to draw from.

However, this is the Qian Learning State Boundary, brimming with sects, not just talented youths but also countless elders boasting vast cultivation wisdom in the Dao.

Surely, among them lurk many formation-savvy elders.

Mo Hua's actual formation usage provides limited insight.

Thus, these elders drew on their expertise and background to model and infer outcomes.

They outlined contest guidelines, specified environments, selected adversaries, then leveraging their profound formation knowledge, the traits of second-grade formations, and Mo Hua’s formation tendencies, they "recreated" the sword discussion battles.

This recreation encompassed countless scenarios.

For starters, Mo Hua commands knowledge of too many formation varieties.

Additionally, varying rules, landscapes, and foes would spawn diverse combat progressions, with formations applied in multiple ways.

During a particular sword discussion, which formation Mo Hua might deploy, its placement, and the telltale indicators to spot.

Ways to remain cautious, detect, probe formations, and exploit weaknesses... and so on.

The intricacies involved are overwhelmingly intricate.

Moreover, the Sword Discussion Conference unfolds at a frantic pace.

Hence, such broad modeling and inference can't be achieved by a handful of formation elders in limited time.

It must involve a sizable team of elders, laboring around the clock, draining vast amounts of divine sense, investing immense labor, cataloging diverse combat conditions, and devising rebuttals to distill everything into:

The "Rules for Mo Hua Formation Techniques Section."

Mo Hua felt genuine admiration.

These formation arts elders are truly impressive.

At the same time, he found it ridiculous.

These formation arts elders from Qian Learning State Boundary sects are truly idle...

As esteemed formation arts elders across various sects in the Qian Learning State Boundary, do they really need to fixate on a mere Foundation Establishment disciple like me?

Isn't their divine sense valuable?

Even if divine sense recovers easily, they ought to preserve their hair...

Divine sense replenishes after exhaustion.

But lost hair might never return.

The body, flesh, and bones are gifts from one's parents, aligned with the Heavenly Dao.

For cultivators, hair doesn't regrow on command; else, baldness wouldn't plague the world...

Mo Hua ached inside and couldn't suppress a sigh.

The fellow disciples, upon viewing this intricate, lucid rulebook brimming with untold dedication, also felt profound astonishment deep within.
