628: Combined attack method

"You don't know?"

Hearing Wang Chen's question, Chu Youxiong and the other two stopped in their tracks and looked over in surprise.

"Mm-hmm..."

Wang Chen nodded, not hiding anything about it.

Yesterday, when Marshal Yang found him, he only told him some secrets and mentioned a joint training session. Today, he hurriedly sent him over without much further explanation.

"Actually, it's nothing major."

Seeing this, the three didn't say much, and Chu Youxiong began to explain to Wang Chen:

"Because the rules of the World Contention haven't been finalized yet, our main purpose in coming here is to improve our survival capabilities in the World Contention."

"Of course, this refers to us Six-Turns and Seven-Turns, to prevent everyone from being teleported together and caught off guard by a Blood Clan Duke."

"For this, we will be training a newly developed battle formation during this period."

"It can temporarily allow us Six-Turns and Seven-Turns to gather our strength, reaching a level where we can protect ourselves in front of a Blood Clan Duke."

"No..."

Hearing Chu Youxiong's words, a look of confusion appeared on Wang Chen's face.

The method of battle formations has been passed down for hundreds of years. Basically, all Awakeners who enter the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, in the Early Stage of entry, the first thing they have to face is learning battle formations.

It can be said that even the young ones like Chu Youxiong in the training base have at least skillfully mastered battle formations, and other older Six-Turns and Seven-Turns have probably used them countless times.

"Senior, you should be very proficient in the use of battle formations, do you still need to continue training?"

"I feel that in the entire training base, perhaps only I am half-aware of this."

Wang Chen asked in confusion, while also not hiding his "ignorance."

Speaking of which, although he had been to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield and had served as a commander of a thousand-man unit in the Fierce Tiger Legion of the Huiguang World for a period of time.

But regarding battle formations, he was still in the stage of understanding and observation, and had never experienced it firsthand.

But he couldn't be blamed for this...

When he went to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, his Rank did not meet the minimum standard for joining a battle formation.

And in the Huiguang World, although his Rank reached 5th Rank, leading a small team to form a battle formation was simply negligible for the improvement of his strength.

So it had been put aside all along.

After all, in a battle formation, the most important thing is not the strength of the person at the core, but balance.

"Indeed, among all the participants in the entire base, perhaps only you, junior, have not participated in battle formation training."

"But this time is different."

"This is a new method of battle formation..."

Chu Youxiong nodded, his tone pausing as he spoke, then he asked Wang Chen:

"Junior, you wouldn't think that the method of battle formation is just a simple superposition, would you?"

"Can a Seven-Turn leading us erupt with Eight-Turn combat power?"

"Uh... Is there a problem?"

Wang Chen was stunned when he heard this, looking at Chu Youxiong in confusion.

When he first heard about the lineup for the World Contention, that's exactly what he thought.

Among the one thousand participating Awakeners, excluding the ten Eight-Turns, among the remaining ninety Seven-Turns and nine hundred Six-Turns, one Seven-Turn leading ten Six-Turns is exactly the most standard eleven-person team in a legion.

According to the calculation that a 5th Rank captain leading ten Rank 4 soldiers can erupt with Six-Turn combat power, then one Seven-Turn leading ten Six-Turns should be able to erupt with Eight-Turn combat power.

"It seems you really don't know."

"But it's normal. After you enrolled, you've either been participating in competitions or adventuring everywhere. You probably haven't attended a single public class at the Combat Academy."

"Junior, you really are a busy person!"

Seeing the confused expression on Wang Chen's face, Chu Youxiong smiled.

Hearing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Chu Youxiong was right; not to mention the public classes at the Combat Academy, he hadn't even recognized all of his classmates in the same grade at the Support Academy.

"Haha, junior, your life is much more relaxed than ours back then."

Chu Youxiong joked, then changed the subject and said:

"The method of battle formations cannot be used simply by having enough people; it has extremely strict requirements."

"If a Seven-Turn leading ten Six-Turns could truly erupt with Eight-Turn combat power, why would we need to form so many legions to resist the Blood Clan?"

"This power that breaks limits is stacked layer by layer: tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions... Only by stacking in such layers can the power of the battle formation be pushed to its Peak."

"The most important thing in this is not the strength of an individual, but the ritual in the operation of the battle formation, which means every single person forming the battle formation."

"Having a Seven-Turn command ten Six-Turns is called a team, not a battle formation, and it simply cannot gain power amplification."

"Ah, this..."

Wang Chen raised his eyebrows at this point, his eyes full of surprise.

He hadn't expected that battle formations would have such hidden requirements.

He had previously thought that as long as there were enough people, the lowest standard battle formation could be formed, and he had even fantasized that if he could contract ten beast pets, his combat power could cross another major Rank...

Now it seems he was overthinking it.

But...

One doubt was resolved, but another arose in Wang Chen's mind.

Since the method of battle formations couldn't be effective, why did the Blue Star high-level still let everyone participate in the training and train battle formations?

With doubt in his heart, he was about to ask again.

However, Chu Youxiong seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and before he could speak, he said:

"The battle formation we are going to learn during this training, though called a battle formation, can actually be understood as a Combination Skill."

"It cannot achieve the effect of a battle formation, which accumulates small amounts into large ones, gradually stacking up to finally unleash overwhelming power, but it can allow us Six-Turns and Seven-Turns to integrate our strength in a short time, reaching a level where we can contend against an Eight-Turn Peak."

"Of course, only for a short time."

"Oh?"

Wang Chen immediately became interested when he heard this.

This method seemed very useful to him too.

He and Ice Purity couldn't form a battle formation, but if they could learn this Combination Skill, they might be able to touch upon stronger power.

"Senior, when does the training start then?"

Wang Chen was already a bit impatient, wanting to try if this Combination Skill could be used on himself and his beast pets.

"It should be soon. These first few days are for everyone to get familiar with it. I estimate it will start in the next day or two."

"However..."

"Junior, you probably won't participate in the training with us."

Chu Youxiong said speculatively, his eyes looking at Wang Chen with an unsettled gaze as he spoke.

"Junior, your power is too over-spec. If you enter the formation, the node you are in will have too great a gap with others, and it simply won't be able to resonate."

"I guess Old Zhang will have other arrangements for you, maybe he'll have you act with those Eight-Turn Seniors."
