n moved closer. When he saw it was He Ren who was shooting the ball, a feeling of surprise welled up inside him.Seeing how smoothly He Ren threw out the basketball and how accurate his shots were made...Chapter 232: Sword Formation

The author made some small adjustments, so there is no update today (I mentioned in the review section that I would increase the word count of today's morning chapter to make up for it. This chapter has 4400 words.)

Five Elements Sword Formation.

Hao Ren then turned his gaze back, focusing on this ancient book before him.

It looked like an old book picked from a temple fair in the city, with no trace of spiritual energy.

Hao Ren reached out and picked up the book, flipping to the first page.

Fundamental Sword Formation. Fire formation, earth formation, water formation, metal formation, wood formation.

Flipping through a few more pages.

Five Elements Great Formation, One-Word Long Serpent Formation, Two-Dragon Spring Water Formation, Three-Talents Heaven and Earth Formation, Four-Gate Covering Formation, Five Tigers and Sheep Formation, Six-Divine Six-Guardian Formation, Seven-Star North Star Formation, Eight-Trigram Golden Lock Formation, Nine-Character Linked Ring Formation, Ten-Faced Ambush Formation, Myriad Swords Heart Return Formation, Eight Directions**Heavenly Stems Absolute Killing Formation!

A book on Sword Formations!

In contrast to Hao Ren's haphazard release of sword qi, this book guided him in cultivating more powerful and orderly Sword Formations.

Not only did it contain the principles of guiding qi through the eight extraordinary meridians, but also detailed diagrams on organizing Sword Formations!

Hao Ren was increasingly amazed as he read. When he lifted his head again, he found that Xie Yujia had disappeared.

Who was this old lady she knew Why did she suddenly bring Hao Ren this "Five Elements Sword Formation" book

Pocketing the book, Hao Ren vaguely remembered following Xie Yujia to meet this old lady once.

An elderly woman in her seventies or eighties with deep wrinkles on her face and a kind appearance. She was unable to speak!

Ding-dong,

The school's broadcast system played the lunchtime music. Hao Ren realized he still had classes, so he rushed out of the cafeteria to go upstairs for class.

Zhao Jiayin and others, who had been playing games for two hours, arrived in the classroom as well. Seeing Hao Ren already sitting there, they shouted, "Damn, you came so early!"

Hao Ren shook his head, "I've reserved all the back seats for you guys!"

"You're truly a good brother!" They rushed to the last row and claimed their seats.

"What book are you reading" When Zhao Jiayin saw Hao Ren holding an old book, he reached out to take it. "Five Elements Formation... "

"Ah Ren, you're getting more boring," After flipping through pages filled with ancient texts, Zhao Jiayin tossed the book back to Hao Ren.

"What book What book" Zhou Liren and Yu Rong's curiosity was piqued. They all came over to fight for it.

After each of them had a look but couldn't understand a single word, they disappointedly threw the book back at Hao Ren. "We thought it would be a good book! You've already become so bored that you're studying ancient texts!"

Hao Ren smiled helplessly and put away the "Five Elements Sword Formation." How could they understand the value of this book

And Hao Ren had just gone through the basic sword formations twice, feeling the extraordinary benefits of this book already.

If "Fen Guang Jian Ying Decision" was a method to refine sword qi, then this "Five Elements Sword Formation" was truly the art of commanding swords!

"By the way, how should we play this week Should we go to the music college first and then the teachers' college I heard that all the beauties in Xin'an City are concentrated in these two places," Zhou Liren sat down enthusiastically and said.

"There is a Great Buddha Temple in Xin'an city, where you can go to play first. In the evening, take a walk around the Normal University and have dinner there before heading back to the hotel for some card games," Yu Rong joined in the discussion.

For this weekend's activities, everyone was very enthusiastic.

"Ah Ren, you're coming with us too, right" Zhou Liren suddenly asked Hao Ren.

"Yeah, I should be joining you," Hao Ren nodded.

"You’re not secretly going on a date with the class monitor, are you" Zhou Liren winked at Hao Ren.

"Otherwise, why don’t we invite those two cute girls from the freshmen year too!" Yu Rong suddenly interjected. The fame of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili as campus beauties was now very loud. Yu Rong also wanted to get close to them personally.

"Since it's a class activity, I won't be inviting them," Hao Ren waved his hand dismissively.

"Nonsense! This time out, many people are taking their siblings with them, but who knows They might just be boyfriends or girlfriends in disguise!" Yu Rong shouted loudly.

Anyway, this was an unofficial outing and no teachers were involved. Xie Yujia also said that the bus she reserved still had several empty seats, so classmates could bring their partners along. Therefore, everyone would invite their secret boyfriends or girlfriends to join them, making it a lively occasion.

Unfortunately, Hao Ren's little circle of friends were all single men, and at the gathering, others would be cuddling with their boyfriends or girlfriends—while they would gather together as nothing but guys. That was...

If Lu Linlin and Lu Lili joined in, it would be entirely different for them! Having such high-profile campus beauties among them would be a matter of great prestige!

"They probably won't have the time. You should discuss how to play around then," Hao Ren put his hands together, resting his head on them as if he was about to fall asleep.

They talked incessantly until class started, when they finally quieted down slightly.

The time quickly approached evening, and Hao Ren, worried about Zhao Yanzi's condition, called her. Upon learning that she had returned home from Su Han's house, he went straight to Zhao Yanzi's place.

A sumptuous meal was already on the table; Hao Ren saw that Zhao Yanzi was back in her room and seemed to have recovered well.

Though Zhao Yanzi might not know about Hao Ren’s concern for her, Hao Ren knew how anxious he had been when looking for a pharmacy near Su Han's house late yesterday evening—most stores were already closed by then. That anxiety was still weighing heavily on his nerves now.Zhao Yanzi had recovered and looked rosy-cheeked; in comparison, Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu appeared somewhat worn out.

"Ah Ren, many thanks for taking care of Ah Zi this time," Zhao Hongyu thanked Hao Ren with gratitude.

Zhao Yanzi displayed her sharp wit but seemed to think better of it and swallowed the words back down.

She had acted impulsively at that moment. Seeing how Hao Ren was so concerned for her, she even kissed his neck... Thinking about this made Zhao Yanzi's face flush red with two clouds.

"It’s okay. Ah Zi doesn’t take good care of herself," Hao Ren smiled.

Seeing Hao Ren speak like that, Zhao Yanzi—who previously thought he was soft and easy to bully—suddenly felt that he had an elegant demeanor.

Handsome, handsome, cool... Suddenly they didn't seem so important anymore.

"Let’s eat. Let's eat," Zhao Guang called them over to sit down.

Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren with soft eyes and sat opposite him; she suddenly wondered if her temper had softened after being sick Zhao Yanzi reminded herself all of a sudden.

Hao Ren didn’t notice the change in Zhao Yanzi's gaze, nor could he guess the silent thoughts going on inside her head. He was preoccupied with his own worries and so asked Zhao Guang, "Uncle, how did you deal with the Dragon Palace matter"

“Hmm, I wanted to talk about this with you too,” Zhao Guang sat down properly. “This time around, you took out a total of 93 divine pills from the Nine Dragons' Palace and divided them into five categories. The first category is detoxification pills; the second are foundation-stabilizing pills; thirdly, there are replenishing energy pills to recover your body; fourthly, elevation pills to increase one's realm; fifth, reinforcement pills to enhance spiritual power.”

As he spoke, he took out an embroidered box, "I’ve taken a pill from each of the five kinds and put them in this box. Inside are five small boxes, with their respective effects labeled."

"Thank you Uncle," Hao Ren received the box and stored it in his Sui Zizi space to protect it. With a box protecting the divine pills, he wasn't worried about Xiaobai eating them.

“Don’t thank me. This is all thanks to your efforts. I’m only giving you five because taking too many isn’t good for you; each type of pill will have its own effects in different situations, but you won’t need them temporarily,” Zhao Guang said.

"Hmm." Hao Ren nodded. He hadn't even reached the magnitude level yet, equivalent to not having achieved the Condensation Stage. If he were to consume these highly effective divine pills, it would be a waste.

"Moreover," Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren and continued, "with the reappearance of the Dragon Palace in this world, you should have seen it."

"Of course I did." Hao Ren's expression became serious.

"The reappearance of the Nine Dragons Palace is a consequence that occurs each time it opens. It just wasn't expected that it would appear over Donghai Prefecture this time," Zhao Guang's gaze showed profound thoughts, "Me and Hongyu didn’t return these past two days because we were discussing with some senior dragons."

"The main topics of our discussions are three things: the first is how to distribute the divine pills, secondly, what strategy should we employ regarding the reappearance of the Nine Dragons Palace, thirdly, since Zeng Yitao transferred to Donghai City facing Xihai Prefecture, how should we respond. Two days and two nights were spent discussing these three issues."

"Currently, the first issue has been resolved; the divine pills are stored in five different types of effects within a secret chamber in the Dragon Palace. Each senior dragon takes one each of Foundation Establishment Pill and Ascension Pill. The second issue we have also decided upon; sending Donghai’s strongest five elders to enter the Nine Dragons Palace to search for ancient martial arts techniques, which is extremely dangerous and doesn’t need your involvement. As for the third issue, we suspect that Xihai Prefecture has already guessed Zhao Kuo failed his tribulation or else they wouldn't have sent Zeng Yitao here so casually; remember Zhao Kuo detests this young man the most, if they believe Zhao Kuo succeeded in his tribulation, there's no way they would send Zeng Yitao to Donghai City."

Zhao Guang explained their current situation. Each point was directed at Xihai Prefecture! Getting elder dragons to consume divine pills and search for martial arts techniques inside the Nine Dragons Palace, as well as being cautious of Zeng Yitao's background power, were all due to Donghai feeling the pressure from Xihai!

Before entering the Nine Dragons Palace recently, Zeng Yitao’s audacious tone towards Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren seemed to prove that he had confidence and ambition to snatch Zhao Yanzi into their Xihai Prefecture in the near future—under the absolute martial power of Xihai, there was nothing Prince Zeng Yitao couldn't get from Xihai!

And if not for Hao Ren retrieving dozens of divine pills from the Nine Dragons Palace, Donghai might have lost hope this time! It’s as if a civilized and powerful Tang Dynasty would still lose to the iron hooves of barbarians!

No matter how prosperous Donghai’s business was on land or how much wealth they possessed, as long as there was an imbalance in martial power strength, they would be under Xihai's threat.

Once matters concerning the Nine Dragons Palace end, it signifies Xihai will invade Donghai comprehensively! Zeng Yitao transferring to Donghai City and entering Zhao Yanzi’s Lingzhao High School is merely a signal!

"Sigh, let's eat!" Zhao Hongyu picked up her chopsticks.

This time, five elders were sent by the Donghai Dragon Palace to爭奪九龍宮裡的寶物，剩下的大長老抓緊時間消化神丹，期待有幾個能夠突破乾級。這樣，他們或許還能與西海一搏之力。想到這裡，趙紅玉也有點歎氣。

她早就想好了，如果這次東海真的不敵西海，就把趙焰紫推出龍族之外，讓她成為普普通通的凡人，讓郝仁照顧她一生一世。

飯桌上的氛圍似乎變得有些沉重。趙焰紫也皺起眉頭，一言不發。

吃過飯後，郝仁突然問趙紅玉：“伯母，你這附近有冇有可以練功的地方？”

“練功？是修煉你的劍氣嗎？”趙紅玉問道。

“嗯，想找個地方活動一下。”郝仁點頭站起來。

“我們後麵的小院子就可以。佈置著隔絕陣法，你要修煉可以去三樓的小閣樓，要練功可以去小院子。”趙紅玉說道。

“好。”郝仁打開房子的後門走進小院子裡。

這裡竹林飄動，緊挨車庫，格外幽靜。

五行劍氣在身體裡一道道地凝聚，沿著清晰的脈絡行走，再透過穴道穿過肌膚，在衣服表層裡爬行。

人劍合一！

基礎劍陣之火陣！

嗖嗖……

舊道劍光齊齊射出，組成一道威勢驚人的小型劍陣！

火焰沖天而起，彷彿燃儘一切！

舊道劍光幻化成層層疊疊的虛影旋轉著形成一個光環！

嘭！

Hao Ren's ground five meters away was blasted into a yellowish circle!

What an awesome sword formation!

Hao Ren secretly felt surprised!

In the past, he would just fling his sword light out like throwing random objects, catching opponents off guard. But in reality, its power wasn't very strong.

However, if he formed a sword formation like this, the effects疊加，攻擊力會比分開射出的劍光更強！

也就是說，通過施展劍陣，郝仁終於明白，放出劍氣，並不一定非要通過自己的手掌或者指尖，身體裡的每一條經脈，都可以成為劍氣流動的路線。

劍隨心動，身體表麵每一個穴位都是劍氣的出口！所謂人劍合一就是如此。練到高深處，不僅發出的劍氣是五行混沌天罡劍氣，而且身體的每一處毛孔都能施展劍光。

全身百萬毛孔，可以放出百萬道劍氣！問天下誰能擋得住？

更不用說，混沌雷修的天罡劍氣破儘五行。

試過基礎火陣之後，郝仁稍作休息，再利用體內水係元素施展基礎水陣。

同樣地，舊道水係劍光從郝仁身體表麵的穴位中穿過，隨著他的雙手劃動，組成了一條長龍般的水陣向前方衝去！

水之意境浩瀚無垠，無窮無儘。

舊道劍光前後相連，化作一條長龍直刺而去!

咚！看似柔弱的水氣擊中了竹林中的粗竹，竹葉擺動。

等到竹林漸漸平靜下來，可以看到那棵竹子中央被衝出了一個碗口大小的圓洞。眾所周知，竹子堅韌堅固，然而能夠穿透出這樣的孔洞而不倒，基礎水陣的強大可見一斑。

Hao Ren調動體內元素，施展基礎劍陣之木陣!

咣！舊道木係劍光組成旋轉的圓盤從天而降，在地麵上切出了一個兩米寬十幾厘米深的大坑。

基礎劍陣之土陣！

舊道劍光形成高速旋轉的球體向前滾動，然後突然爆裂！分向四方高速散開。其中兩道劍光直接紮進了車庫旁的小院內，形成了兩個圓洞。

Hao Ren冇有時間注意到這些，他又嘗試了基礎劍陣之金陣!

白光閃爍，銳利的舊道金係劍氣化作劍雨刺向郝仁所指之處！

嘩嘩嘩——彷彿箭矢落地齊根冇入。院子裡堅實的土地瞬間多了十個拇指粗細深洞。

如果這些射在人體上，後果可想而知。
