Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw a man in a light blue gown walking towards him. He was about 20 years old and not particularly handsome, but he had a friendly aura and a comfortable smile.

The man walked up to Jiang Cheng and looked at him with some surprise: "You are the first one to come in today."

Jiang Cheng was also a little surprised when he heard this. Although the maze outside required some attention to details and it would be difficult to get out if you were not careful, this kind of thing must have been discovered by someone in the past. As long as someone said it in advance, it would still be easy to get out, right?

The man seemed to see Jiang Cheng's doubts and smiled, "We will make some modifications to the maze outside every once in a while."

So that's it. Jiang Cheng finally understood and nodded, then asked in a tentative tone, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a teacher." The man patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder in a familiar way and continued, "I'm also a student studying formations, and I'm your senior."

"You can come in and learn formations from the teacher, which is basically a sure thing, but senior, I remind you of one thing." As he said that, he looked around like a thief, and then whispered, "Our teacher sometimes has a bad temper like a sky thunder bead. You should be careful during your studies. Don't make him angry, otherwise you will be miserable."

"Do I have such a bad temper?" At this time, a slightly old voice came from the bamboo forest behind the two. When the blue-clothed young man heard this voice, his face froze, and he turned his head with some difficulty and looked over there.

An old man with messy hair and white beard came out from there. He was also wearing a blue gown. Maybe it was because he had worn it for a long time, so the gown looked a little worn out.

At this time, the old man was staring at the young man in blue with a bad face.

"Teacher, how could I say bad things about you? You must have heard it wrong." The blue-clothed young man's originally frozen face changed instantly, showing a somewhat flattering smile. He ran to the old man and gently pounded his shoulders. While pounding, he asked: "Teacher, didn't you say you were going to the dean today? Why are you back so soon?"

"Humph, I came back after I finished my work. Fortunately, I came back early, otherwise I wouldn't know that you, a stinky boy, would say bad things about me behind my back?" The old man glared at the young man, but did not stop him from pounding his back.

Enjoying the back massage, he looked at Jiang Cheng again: "Tell me, how did you break through the maze and get in?"

Jiang Cheng did not hide it and told it directly. After listening, the old man nodded: "Pretty careful." After that, he shook his shoulders violently, shook off the blue-clothed young man's hand, and said loudly: "Okay, you don't have to massage my back anymore, take him to the school room first, tell him the common sense of the formation, and I will teach him the follow-up things."

"Okay!" The blue-clothed young man looked happy and pulled Jiang Cheng in a direction. Halfway through, the old man's voice came from behind again: "Lin Heng, for the next week, you must stay in the formation room for an hour and a half every day, not a second less!"

Hearing this, Lin Heng's already cheerful steps staggered, almost fell to the ground, and cried out miserably.

......

Bring Jiang Cheng to the classroom, where the space is quite spacious, with more than a dozen bamboo chairs and tables. Jiang Cheng sat in one of them, and Lin Heng sat beside him in a daze, with a look of despair on his face.

After a long while, after sighing countless times, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Cheng: "Junior, what's your name?"

"My name is Jiang Cheng, senior, I'm sorry to have punished you, but I don't know where the array room is?"

"It's okay, I can't control my mouth, it's nothing, the array room is just a little troublesome." Lin Heng forced a smile.

"Junior Jiang Cheng, right? First of all, let me tell you that our teacher's surname is Huang, you can just call him Teacher Huang. Here, there are always a few people who come in every year, but they don't study for a long time, and basically they all leave later. There are not many people who stay to study steadily. I hope you can stick to it in the future."

"Let's talk about the formation." Slowly, Lin Heng also adjusted himself, as if he had forgotten what happened just now. When he mentioned the formation, he talked about it with some interest: "The so-called formation, in simple terms, is to use a special method to make the elemental force form a special resonance, thereby attracting the elements between heaven and earth to achieve the effects of attack and defense."

"But it is very difficult to induce resonance." Lin Heng said, stretching out his right hand and placing it in front of Jiang Cheng. Between the slender palms, the elemental force surged out, and gradually formed a pattern under his control. After this pattern appeared, Jiang Cheng felt that among the elements of the surrounding heaven and earth, some elements were quietly rolling with the fluctuations of this pattern.

Moreover, the shape of this pattern is almost exactly the same as the pattern that appeared when the bamboo was automatically repaired in the Phoenix Bamboo Forest before.

At this time, Lin Heng pointed at the pattern with his other hand and said, "This is called a formation pattern, which is an indispensable thing when setting up a formation."

"Formation pattern?" Jiang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and was very unfamiliar with this term.

"Yes." Lin Heng nodded, and then the Yuanli in his right palm surged again, gradually condensing into new formation patterns one after another, and finally formed a total of ten formation patterns. Then he waved his palm, and the ten formation patterns instantly merged into the air, disappearing without a trace.

But Jiang Cheng saw a fireball condensed automatically in front of him and flew towards him quickly. Jiang Cheng dodged immediately, but Lin Heng waved his hand again, and ten intertwined array patterns appeared in the air, surrounded by waves of energy. Lin Heng's palm covered by Yuanli fluctuated to the key part of the array patterns, and immediately dispersed them.

The fireball that was still flying disappeared instantly, and the patterns slowly dissipated.

"Was that an array just now?" Jiang Cheng looked at the direction where the pattern dissipated and was a little absent-minded. After a while, he asked.

"Yes, and no." Lin Heng nodded, then shook his head: "Formation is divided into nine levels from one to nine, and the one I just used is not even a first-level formation."

"Like the maze in the purple bamboo forest, it is a second-level formation arranged by the teacher. If used properly, it can even trap a third-level Xuanbing Master. It's just that for the purpose of assessment, many points to break the formation are specially arranged to facilitate your entry."

"Formation masters are extremely powerful. Even if they are not strong themselves, powerful formation masters can arrange powerful formations and use the power of heaven and earth to suppress and kill seventh-level or even eighth-level Xuanbing Masters."
