Chapter 221 Why Is It the Best?
As the monthly exams approached, the smell of gunpowder in the school gradually increased.
But this is mainly concentrated on the few people who have been admitted to Dinggui Class from Class C. Since the number of places admitted to Class C this month is limited, these three people are naturally destined to have a struggle.
What makes Senior Brother Changxue sad is that these three people who came from Class C are all extremely respectful and polite to him.
He didn't seem to think his senior brother Changxue was a threat at all.
What makes Tian Lin happy is that from beginning to end, the three people from Class C, including Senior Brother Changxue, did not treat him as a competitor.
So much so that if Tian Lin didn't understand anything, these people were willing to answer Tian Lin's questions.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the month has quietly arrived.
As soon as it got light the next day, the bells of Taoism rang through the mountains.
This time Senior Brother Changxue was determined to be admitted to Class C, so he did not preside over the monthly exam.
The person who presided over it personally was none other than the teaching elder of Dinggui class.
What disappointed Elder Xue Xi was that Elder Xue did not come in person to host the ceremony this time.
"I have personally taught you for a month. If you still haven't made any progress in your studies, don't blame me for punishing you with small punishments and large warnings."
As soon as he said these words, the faces of the Dinggui class disciples below fell instantly.
Because of this, there were several "shangshangs" in the "crying and mourning" section of funeral studies. Because many people were infected by the bad mood of the teaching elder, they cried sincerely.
"Tian Lin has made good progress, and his funeral studies have reached an advanced level. If Elder Xue finds out, he will be very pleased."
After seeing Tian Lin's results, the elder's mood improved a lot, and then he admonished Tian Lin: "But you can't take the next formation study lightly."
Tian Lin immediately said: "Elder, please rest assured, this disciple will never dare not to take it seriously."
Over the past month, everyone has felt that Elder Jiao Xi has a strange preference for Tian Lin.
Fortunately, Tian Lin was new here, so the few disciples from Class C did not think that the elders dared to favor Tian Lin to the extent of blatantly giving Tian Lin extra points.
As for the "shangshang" evaluation in the Funeral Studies Review, everyone thinks that the elders have given Tian Lin trouble, but it is not harmful.
"Next, it's time to learn formations. All the disciples will start drawing lots."
Elder Jiaoxi put the stick on the table. Over there, Zhao Tong took a bamboo stick, held up the bamboo stick in his hand and asked, "Who is No. 1? Who is No. 1?"
Among the crowd in Dinggui class, a fat man turned pale and said speechlessly: "Why am I so unlucky to meet him?"
When he met Zhao Tong's eyes, he wanted to admit defeat but then remembered the words of the elder who taught him during the monthly exam last month.
He was afraid that if he gave in, he would be reprimanded by the elders, so he had no choice but to walk out.
Zhao Tong glanced at Fatty, smiled disdainfully and then looked at Zhou Jin: "It's a pity that I can't compete with Senior Brother Zhou this time. It's really a pity for Zhao."
Zhou Jin smiled and said: "Junior brother Zhao, don't worry, if you can get the 'Shang Shang' evaluation from all five of your heretical disciplines, we will naturally have an extra match."
Zhao Tong snorted coldly, turned around and entered the restricted area set up by the elders to start setting up the formation.
Zhao Tong is a person from Class C who fell into Class D, so his formation methods are naturally better than those of ordinary disciples from Class Dinggui.
In just a moment, he had already set up his formation.
On the other hand, the fat man over there was still sweating profusely while burying the formation stones.
A quarter of an hour later, Fatty and Zhao Tong exchanged positions. Zhao Tong took out the compass and easily broke Fatty's formation.
Fatty was in the restricted area where Zhao Tong was. As soon as he took out the formation compass, the formation compass exploded first in an instant.
Before he could react, dozens of sword qi rained down on him from the sky and the earth.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Changxue, who had expected it, flew into the formation and used his magical power.
His whole body was instantly covered with thick loess, and he raised his hand to block more than a dozen sword energy.
But just when he wanted to pull Fatty out of the sword formation, he found that no matter how he changed direction, the sword energy around him would hit him.
Fortunately, he could see clearly from outside and knew how Zhao Tong set up the formation, so he released his true energy and directly pulled out the iron sword hidden in the soil.
As soon as the formation's eye was broken, the power of the formation instantly collapsed.
Outside the ban, Zhao Tong became furious, pointed at Senior Brother Changxue and said, "This is a monthly exam, how dare you openly cheat?"
Senior Brother Changxue was even angrier than Zhao Tong. He pointed at Zhao Tong: "You also know that this is a monthly exam. Why are you setting up such a life-and-death formation? Aren't you afraid of killing fellow juniors?"
Zhao Tong laughed angrily at Senior Brother Changxue, but the elder who taught him above said at this moment:
"The monthly exam is like a battlefield. If you are not as good as others, you will die naturally. Fu Tianguang, if you are not good at this exam, you will be punished by cleaning toilets in the handyman's courtyard for a month.
As for Zhao Tong, he can be evaluated in the high school entrance examination. "
After listening to the words of the elder, Zhao Tong was obviously dissatisfied: "In Dinggui's class, there is no one else who can form a formation with forty-seven swords, except me.
The elder only gave me an evaluation for my high school entrance examination, which would be too difficult. "
Elder Jiaoxi was furious and pointed at Zhao Tongtong: "Who told you that the more 'formation flags' used to set up the formation, the better? The more formation flags, the more flaws?
It seems that the evaluation of the upper and middle school was too flattering to you, and your evaluation could only be "upper or lower". "
Zhao Tong was dumbfounded, but Zhou Jin and Wang Yanyu laughed.
This Zhao Tong didn't know how to behave as soon as he entered Dinggui's class. Not only did he not take the students in his class seriously, he even dared to contradict the teaching elders.
This time, I believe that Zhao Tongshuo will not be able to get high marks in the next three exams.
In this case, Zhao Tong has nothing to worry about. Who can compete with him, Zhou Jin and Wang Yanyu for the place in Class C?
When the two of them thought so, they quickly went up to set up their formations.
After a while, the evaluations for both of them came down, and each got a grade of upper middle school.
Although such an evaluation was unsatisfactory, the two of them would not be stupid enough to imitate Zhao Tong and criticize the elders.
After all, Zhao Tong's alchemy evaluation has also come out, and there is only an 'up and down' evaluation.
Zhou Jin and Wang Yanyu continued their alchemy exams comfortably, while Tian Lin had just started to take the formation exam.
The elder taught him stroking his beard. He lowered the evaluation of others in order to shorten the evaluation gap between Tian Lin and others.
If everyone had high or passing scores, and only Tian Lin failed, how could he have the nerve to report Tian Lin's results to Elder Xue?
But soon, Elder Jiao Xi was stunned.
"Is this the Five Elements and Bagua Formation?"
The Five Elements and Bagua Formation cannot be said to be very powerful, but this formation does not require carving formation stones or using spiritual weapons.
To put it simply, this is a formation built with ordinary flowers, trees, grass and stones.
Ordinary flowers, trees, grass and stones themselves represent the five elements.
Nowadays, you only need to use eight directions to replace the Bagua to construct the Five Elements Bagua Array.
Therefore, the Five Elements and Bagua formation is not very powerful, but it is extremely difficult to set up the formation. You must have a deep understanding of the basics of the formation to succeed.
At this time, the teaching elder saw that Tian Lin wanted to set up the Five Elements and Bagua formation, and the other students also understood what Tian Lin meant.
But just like the teaching elders, these people are not very optimistic about Tian Lin.
If the Five Elements and Bagua array is so easy to set up, why don’t others choose to set up the Five Elements and Bagua array?
"Junior Brother Tian is serious. I once told him that if you are short of money and can't afford the carved formation stone, you can borrow the spirit stone from me.
Thinking about it now, he couldn't bear to ask me to borrow spiritual stones, and he couldn't bear to spend money to buy carved formation stones, so he could only use ordinary vegetation to set up the formation. "
Zhou Jin's words made others look at him with admiration. They felt that Zhou Jin was not only extremely powerful, but also more valuable, he was very loyal to others.
But Wang Yanyu, who really treated Tian Lin generously and gave away Tian Lin's cold fragrant leaves for free, said:
"If I remember correctly, Junior Brother Tian sold a few ferry boats half a month ago, right? Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to afford the engraved formation stones -"
Zhou Jin also frowned, and their expressions became more solemn.
They saw Tian Lin carving patterns on the flowers and grass, and arranging flowers, grass and rocks in the soil.
The life of flowers and plants is fragile, but the formation itself can condense spiritual energy.
Carving patterns on these flowers and plants is like wrapping fire with paper and carving words on water.
But it is obvious that Tian Lin not only carved the formation pattern on the thin flowers and grass, but also the formation pattern took effect.
"Really let him set up the Five Elements and Bagua Formation?"
Zhou Jin couldn't believe it. For a moment, an alarm bell rang in his heart. When he looked at Tian Lin again, he no longer felt that Tian Lin was a humble little brother. Instead, he felt that Tian Lin was a big hungry wolf who deceived his feelings.
"Okay, you two have formed a formation, and you can break each other's formation."
Over there, the elder Jiao Xi gave an order, and Tian Lin went to the opponent's restricted area and started to break the formation without holding back.
His speed in breaking formations is extremely fast, which is undoubtedly a huge bonus in his evaluation.
After he had broken the formation, his opponent had already broken most of the Five Elements and Bagua formation.
Tian Lin can use ordinary grass and trees to set up formations, but his ability is limited. After all, the Five Elements and Bagua formation is not a powerful killing formation.
Therefore, the formation was broken, and Tian Lin had nothing to be depressed about.
Seeing this, Elder Jiaoxi had a smile on his face. He stroked his beard and said, "Tian Lin has made the most progress this month. He must have listened to my teachings carefully, so he has achieved what he is today."
Tian Lin, who was below, immediately raised his hands and saluted: "This disciple relies entirely on the teachings of Elder Jiao Xi, just because Elder Jiao Xi said that there are many heretical ways in the world, but the way of formation is the most important."
Elder Xiu nodded with deep understanding, while only Senior Brother Changxue frowned slightly.
Because these words were obviously said by his elder brother.
Could it be that Elder Jiao Xi also said something similar?
"The Five Elements and Bagua Formation is not very powerful, but it is extremely difficult to set up. Although Tian Lin's Five Elements and Bagua Formation was broken, based on his performance, it is not an exaggeration to give him an average rating, right?"
After the elder taught Xi asked, the disciples below all nodded with conviction.
Elder Jiao Xi added: "Tian Lin does not use a compass when breaking the formation, which shows that he has a very solid foundation in formation attainments. Isn't it an exaggeration to give him a top grade?"
The disciples nodded, and both Zhou Jin and Wang Yanyu felt that the elder Jiao Xi had not favored Tian Lin.
I heard Elder Xi said: "So I feel that Tian Lin's performance deserves a 'shangshang' evaluation."
As soon as this statement came out, the students below were a little dumbfounded.
Setting up and breaking formations are both top and middle choices, but how come the assessment turned out to be top?
