Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie?



He had learned formations since childhood, not to mention that he had mastered formations to a profound level. Even with ordinary formations, he was incredibly skilled.

So what if my strength is inferior to yours? If I defeat you in the domain that your Feng family is proud of, I will definitely be able to sweep your face clean!

He was confident that his knowledge of formations was far superior to that of any peripheral descendant of the Feng family!

Upon hearing this, Du Jinlong and the others were puzzled. Formation techniques?

They had only just arrived in this world; how could they possibly understand formations? Why had Lin Feng agreed to this challenge?

Only Lin Qinglong looked at Lin Feng with confidence. He believed that Lin Feng dared to agree because he had his own assurance. Moreover, he could hold his own in discussions with someone as esteemed as Landry. Lin Feng was truly unique in the myriad realms!

Lin Feng also smiled at Nie Zimou. It had to be said that his provocation was quite clever. If he didn't agree, his status as a disciple of the Feng family might arouse suspicion.

He was starting to wonder if Nie Zimou knew that he had just arrived in this world, and this was a way to test him.

"Young Master Nie, how do you intend to spar?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Nie Zimou chuckled and said, "Simple. We each set up a formation, then break the other's formation. If either of us can't break the opponent's formation, they lose."

Lin Feng nodded. "Sure."

He had read a lot of books just now. Although his clone in the Longevity World was practicing, he had to experiment. Nie Zimou was a suitable candidate for that.

Nie Zimou didn't hesitate either. He waved his hands in the air, sketching the formation patterns.

The other guests at the banquet also looked over. They had all heard that a Feng family member of the Imperial Family had arrived in Danyang City. At this moment, when they saw that the son of the City Lord, Nie Zimou, actually wanted to compete with him in array formation attainments, they were even more curious.

Although the Feng family was an eminent lineage of formations from the Emperor's lineage, they had also heard that this Young Master Feng was only a branch family of the Feng family. Although he was very powerful, how much of the Feng family's true teachings could he have acquired?

In contrast, Nie Zimou was widely recognized as the top formation master of Danyang City. Even the senior experts in formations weren't as skilled as him.

At this moment, when they saw Nie Zimou competing against Lin Feng, they naturally trusted Nie Zimou more and hoped for his victory.

After all, there's no logic in helping outsiders over locals, right?

Nie Zimou continued sketching the formation patterns. A faint blue formation gradually took shape, only about a yard in diameter. However, it was incredibly intricate, with patterns flowing and emitting a faint glow.

"Young Master Feng, this is the Five Elements Formation. Receive it!" With a wave of his hand, the formation appeared beneath Lin Feng's feet, enveloping him.

To outsiders, Lin Feng still stood in place, but the scene before him had changed.

Now, in his eyes, there were five armored divine beings in the five cardinal directions, glaring at him with a menacing aura.

These five figures represented the forces of the Five Elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. According to 'Yi,' these elemental forces both generate and control one another, in a perpetual cycle.

The Five Elements Formation absorbed vitality and transformed into the Five Elements Divine Beings. If Lin Feng attacked one, the damage would be shared among all five. Thus, without overwhelming strength, breaking the formation would be quite difficult.

Of course, Nie Zimou was only at the Dark Gold level, and his Five Elements Formation could only trap a Diamond-level expert for a short period. However, against a Star-level expert, it could be shattered effortlessly.

Therefore, if Lin Feng wanted to break it by force, he could directly disperse the five-element divine beings with a wave of his hand. However, since he wanted to compete in array formations, he naturally could not use brute force to break it.

The Five Elements Formation is perhaps the most fundamental formation, but because it involves the Five Elements, the caster must maintain balanced control over these elemental forces. Nie Zimou's ability to set up a minor Five Elements Formation in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea is quite impressive, Lin Feng thought, praising Nie Zimou's skill in his heart.

It was called a minor Five Elements Formation because it had been set up hastily. Of course, given more time, Nie Zimou could expand the formation's scope, absorb more vitality, and potentially trap a Star-level expert.

Using formation techniques allows humanity to triumph over the strong despite being weak. Fuxi truly deserves the title of Emperor, Lin Feng mused.

Formations were akin to handguns and cannons on the Blue Planet, allowing ordinary people to have methods to deal with people with abilities.

However, just like firearms, they had limitations and posed little threat to the powerful.

Formations were no different—empowering the weak to resist the strong, but requiring constant study and being even more intricate.

Both paths had their merits; it wasn't a matter of one being better than the other.

Outside, everyone watched as Lin Feng stood within the formation, holding their breaths in anticipation. Could Lin Feng break the formation using his formation skills?

If it were solely about brute strength, everyone could see that Lin Feng would easily break the formation. After all, his Star-level aura was incredibly formidable.

Not to mention, Du Jinlong and the others knew that Lin Feng's true level was at the king level, and his strength was at the divine level.

However, when it came to breaking a formation through formation skills, their confidence wavered. This was something native to this world, and they had limited exposure to it.

Amid the crowd's attention, Lin Feng observed the formation's details for a while before finally raising his hand, ready to break the formation.
