Chapter 167: Chapter 2: Spirit Array Hall
Lin Feng and the others followed Feng Gang to complete the check-in procedures and were now going to cultivate at Genius Camp.
Genius Camp had three thousand students.
Each of them was incredibly strong; this place was truly where hidden dragons lay and crouching tigers hid.
Moreover, some students were extraordinarily low-key, not participating in the Mountain River List ranking, but this did not mean their strength was any less formidable.
Here at Genius Camp, there was the most complete cultivation system, including martial arts cultivation as well as facilities like the Alchemy Hall, Spirit Array Hall, and Artifact Refining Hall for students to choose from as auxiliary professions.
Vast Three Thousand States!
...
The statuses of Spirit Array Masters and Alchemists were incomparably revered.
While Artifact Refiners might not enjoy the exalted status of Spirit Array Masters and Alchemists, they too were greatly respected.
It wasnât easy to become a Spirit Array Master or an Alchemist, as they had extremely stringent requirements for âSoul Power.â
Artifact Refiners, on the other hand, did not have this requirement.
Within Genius Camp, there were over a hundred Spirit Array apprentices and Alchemist apprentices, but only a mere few were true Spirit Array Masters and Alchemists. It was not easy to transform from an apprentice to a master.
The benefits provided to students by their sects at Genius Camp were also astonishingly generous, with each person receiving fifty Great Dragon Pills every month for cultivation. To obtain more Great Dragon Pills or other cultivation resources, they could exchange points.
Genius Camp issued various tasks daily, and upon accepting and completing these tasks, students could earn points.
After arriving at the dormitory, some people rested while others left in groups to explore Genius Camp.
Lin Feng, however, went to the Spirit Array Hall accompanied by the Fire Kirin.
âI think you should give up on the Spirit Arrays and learn Alchemy from me. I guarantee I can make you the greatest Alchemist in the Vast Three Thousand States!â said the Fire Kirin, with a sneer.
âWere you very impressive before?â Lin Feng asked.
âOf course, I was quite the star at the Central Sacred Heavenly Stateâs Alchemist Conference back in the day,â the Fire Kirin said proudly, but it sighed when it remembered its current plight, âItâs all because of that damned demonic bead that brought Laozi to this state. Sooner or later, Iâll devour it.â
The Fire Kirin had a fierce look on its face.
It continued, âSo, do you want to learn Alchemy Skill?â
âOf course I do, but the most critical thing now is to improve my Spirit Array level. Alchemy Skill might allow me to refine all sorts of precious elixirs, but it wonât provide me with strong combat capabilities, whereas Spirit Array Skill will,â said Lin Feng.
âDamn it, thatâs probably the main reason why the status of Alchemists is always below that of Spirit Array Masters,â grumbled the Fire Kirin in frustration.
Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin arrived at the Spirit Array Master Hall.
The Spirit Array Master Hall was a huge palace with three levels.
Lin Fengâs current level as a Spirit Array Master was at the initial stage, high-level of the Yellow Rank!
To break through again, he needed to learn more advanced Spirit Array Skills.
Jialan Academy obviously did not have such advanced Spirit Array Skills, but they should exist at Azure Dragon Academy.
The interior of the Spirit Array Master Hall was extremely spacious.
The first level was where the students learned, while the second and third levels were where the Spirit Array Skills were kept.
Lin Feng arrived at the Second Level.
He saw that the entrance of the second level was blocked by a huge energy door, which prevented him from proceeding.
âDamn, this is a Soul Power Door. Only those with a certain level of soul power can enter, which for me is merely childâs play.â
The Fire Kirin curled its lips. Although the divine power of this creature had been devoured by the magic bead, its soul power remained, and it leaped through the door directly.
Lin Feng tried to pass through the Soul Power Door and easily entered it as well.
He said, âTo reach the Yellow Rank, the level of an Elementary Spirit Array Master, one should be able to come in.â
The Fire Kirin said, âIt probably serves as a deterrent for Spirit Array Master apprentices, preventing them from touching high-level Spirit Array Skills without sufficient soul power, which could greatly damage the soul origin. Additionally, this Soul Power Door also has a sensing function. If someone forcefully breaks through the Soul Power Door, they will definitely be detected by the guardians here.â
âYouâre not a Spirit Array Master, isnât your entry a forced intrusion?â Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
âYeah⊠but Iâm fine with it,â the Fire Kirin swaggered toward the inside.
âThis guyâŠâ Lin Feng was quite speechless; he helplessly shook his head and walked inside as well.
Inside the second-level hall, there were cabinets.
Each cabinet was sealed by a Soul Power Door.
And within the cabinets, there were various Spirit Array Skills.
âYellow Rank, Elementary Spirit Array Skill, Fireball Technique: Gather twelve Spiritual Patterns to form a fireball. Upon explosion, it can inflict substantial damage.â
âYellow Rank, Elementary Spirit Array Skill, Clean Water Skill: Gather fifteen Spiritual Patterns, which can create clean water out of thin air.â
âYellow Rank, Elementary, Mid-Level Spirit Array Skill, Sky Control Skill: By gathering twenty-six Array Patterns, one can cast the Sky Control Skill, allowing manipulation of various objects to levitate in mid-air.â
âŠ
Lin Feng looked at the dazzling array of Spirit Array Skills with great joy. He had learned most of his Spirit Array Skills from Sun Tiantu, and many of them were simple auxiliary Spirit Array Skills. For instance, the âCleanse Body Techniqueâ Lin Feng practiced was used to clean dirt off the body.
As for offensive Spirit Array Skills, he had only mastered two: the Azure Dragon Array and the Sword Sea Array. But these two might not be called âSpirit Array Skillsâ; they should be classified as âFormations.â
Formation: It is a large array arranged by a Spirit Array Master using various materials that, once activated, can cause immense damage.
For example, it had taken Lin Feng dozens of array formation materials to successfully arrange the Azure Dragon Array.
This required advance preparation and setup.
In contrast, Spirit Array Skill was a form of attack.
One only needed to channel soul power to quickly set it up, just like casting Martial Arts; it was quickly executed to wound the enemy. Spirit Array Skills were more favored by Spirit Array Masters because they could be used on many occasions, while a Formation required a lot of mental energy to be arranged in advance, making it useless in a sudden outbreak of battle.
Most Spirit Array Masters thought this way, but Lin Feng did not share this view.
When he had first encountered formations, Sun Tiantu had also said, âFormations are the foundation of a Spirit Array Master. Only by learning the complex ones can one solidify the foundation. Once the foundation is strong, learning Spirit Array Skills becomes much easier.â
âLin Feng, come take a look over here,â the Fire Kirin called.
Lin Feng walked over and looked at the cabinet the Fire Kirin was pointing to.
âYellow Rank, Elementary, Peak Array: Xuanwu Array, consisting of seventy-two Spiritual Patterns. Once successfully condensed, it can create the most formidable defensive power.â
