606: Chapter 606 Are You Willing?

He couldn't help but curl his lips inwardly.

Earlier, when facing Jiang Yunyan, Zhao Qingyun said, "Young Master Jiang's strength is beyond doubt; there's no problem with him being the main Formation controller," with an air of certainty.

But when it came to him, it was, "Are you willing?"

Why did City Lord Zhao seem so reluctant?

However, he didn't care.

As long as he secured the position of main Formation controller and received those 2000 taixuan points, nothing else mattered.

"Alright."

Zhao Qingyun nodded.

"The two of you should recuperate first; the recent battle consumed a lot of your energy."

Qin Yan and Jiang Yunyan nodded upon hearing this, then returned to their respective teams.

Back in the team, everyone looked at Qin Yan a little differently.

Especially Lu Qingshan and Yun Qingge.

They originally thought that Qin Yan was the weakest in the team—after all, his spirit weapon Rank was the lowest, and his Martial Arts Skill was also the lowest.

Yet, Qin Yan had suppressed Jiang Yunyan, whose strength was even greater than theirs.

Now, the weakest in the team had suddenly become the two of them.

How embarrassing...

Yin Li and Huang Jiuli, on the other hand, were shocked by Qin Yan's methods.

Qin Yan had actually successfully Cultivated the tiangang - exquisite grade Martial Skill to the Major Achievement Realm.

One must know that their Martial Skill Cultivation progress was the same as Qin Yan's, both at the Major Achievement Realm.

However, their ability to Cultivate to this level was inseparable from the guidance of their Family's powerful experts—someone to spar with, someone to explain, someone to point out their confusion.

But what about Qin Yan?

Without resources or a background, his Cultivation Technique progress didn't fall behind, his Martial Skills didn't fall behind, and his Realm didn't fall behind!

This Qin Yan is truly uncanny.

Qin Yan directly ignored their gazes and immediately sat cross-legged to Cultivate.

Although he only used one move in that battle, that move consumed a great deal of his energy.

While the Ice Flame Spear Technique was powerful, its consumption was also significant—it consumed about 30% of his total True Qi.

He now needed to recuperate properly, restore himself to a full state, and prepare for the upcoming task of blocking the great Vicious Beast.

Not far away, Zhao Qingyun was screening the remaining Formation personnel for the compass.

Nine people needed to be selected from the Martial Artists present.

He swept his gaze across everyone present, quickly assessing each person's strength and Qi and blood.

Time slowly passed.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Yan finished recuperating.

He stood up and looked at Jiang Yunyan not far away.

He noticed that the other party was still silently circulating his Cultivation Technique, clearly having consumed even more in the previous battle.

Another quarter of an hour passed before Jiang Yunyan finally recovered.

He opened his eyes, his expression still calm, but a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes.

By this time, the remaining Formation personnel for the compass had also been gathered.

Qin Yan looked at these nine people and found that most of them were the Clan Chiefs of the Families within Qingyun City.

There was Zhao Yuanlang, the Zhao Family Clan Chief, with a cultivation of Rank 6 Peak and an approximate basic Qi and blood of 500,000 cards.

There was Li Canghai, the Li Family Clan Chief, also at Rank 6 Peak, with similar basic Qi and blood.

There was Wang Pojun, the Wang Family Clan Chief, at Rank 6 Peak, with slightly lower basic Qi and blood.

There were also Clan Chiefs from several other Families, as well as two experts among the Loose Cultivators.

No Taixuan Holy Land Disciples participated.

Qin Yan thought for a moment and understood.

The basic Qi and blood of Taixuan Holy Land Disciples were indeed stronger than these Family heads, but not by too much.

The impressive aspect of Holy Land Disciples lay in their Blood Burst—the combined amplification from spirit weapons, Martial Arts Skills, and Cultivation Techniques could unleash power far exceeding their basic Qi and blood.

Having them serve as Formation personnel would indeed be an overkill.

Moreover, Holy Land Disciples all had their own tasks to complete, and they might not be willing to act as "support."

Therefore, Zhao Qingyun could only choose from the local Martial Artists.

"Young Master Qin Yan—"

At this moment, Zhou Xuanji came before Qin Yan and handed the compass in his hand to Qin Yan.

"To use the compass, immerse your Mental Energy into it, and you can view it yourself."

"Thank you, Prefect Zhou."

Qin Yan reached out, took the compass, went to a corner, and sat cross-legged.

He immersed his Mental Energy into the compass, comprehending the method of using the Formation.

Soon, Qin Yan learned how to use that Formation.

It was actually very simple—the other nine people would inject their True Qi into the compass, and then the compass would form a Formation, linking the nine people's Qi mechanisms together.

At that time, the main Formation controller, standing in the center of the Formation, could enjoy a portion of the Qi and blood amplification from the other nine people.

The principle was not complex, but the effect was astonishing.

However, this compass also had a fatal flaw.

That is, once any one of the ten of them died, the Formation would immediately become ineffective.

Therefore, he not only had to protect himself but also the nine Formation personnel.

If they died, the Formation would break.

Moreover, this Formation could only last for two quarters of an hour!

In other words, if he couldn't kill that great Vicious Beast within two quarters of an hour, he would either have to escape—or wait for Yin Li or Lin Ruoxi's side to deal with their great Vicious Beast and come to support him.

But neither of these options was what he wanted.

"I wonder how much this compass can actually amplify. I hope it's a lot. That way, I'll have more confidence in dealing with that great Vicious Beast."

Qin Yan thought to himself.

His basic Qi and blood was 894,000 cards, plus the 240,000 card bonus from the Ice Flame Spear Technique, making his basic burst 1,134,000 cards.

Then, after amplification from his spirit weapon, Spear Intent, and Blood Burst, it could reach 7.14 million cards.

However, this was still a gap from the strength of a Half-Step Grandmaster.

A Half-Step Grandmaster Vicious Beast has a basic Qi and blood of about 1.5 million cards; he needed the compass to amplify more to stably kill the opponent.

Subsequently, Qin Yan suppressed his thoughts, picked up his long spear, and continued to train.

Spear shadows overlapped, and Spear Intent permeated the air.

The Martial Artists in the courtyard also silently sat cross-legged, Cultivating and adjusting their own states.

Some closed their eyes to recuperate, some swallowed Medicinal Pills, some circulated their Cultivation Techniques, and some focused their spirit to calm their Qi.

Everyone was silently accumulating strength, preparing for the impending fierce battle.

Time quickly came to the afternoon.

Outside Qingyun City, the roars of Vicious Beasts completely erupted.

The sounds rose and fell, some deep like muffled thunder, some sharp like keen blades, some hoarse like broken gongs, intertwining to form a deafening sound wave.

Even standing in the City Lord's Mansion, they could hear it clearly.

The Vicious Beasts had begun to attack the city again!

Zhao Qingyun's expression turned cold, then he swept his gaze across the people in the courtyard and said seriously, "Thank you all for your trouble."

After speaking, he took the lead and left, his figure transforming into a streak of light, flying towards the city wall.

Subsequently, the group of people in the courtyard also followed suit, leaving the courtyard.

Before long, the group arrived on the vast city wall.
