Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1778

Chapter 1778 Array Tower

"For the final test, you must activate two level 5 formations—one defense and one offensive—simultaneously and keep them activated for an hour without any external assistance, such as spirit stones. You have five minutes to prepare," said Hao Chen.

Any Array Master could easily activate a single formation and sustain it using spirit stones. However, activating and maintaining two formations simultaneously was far more challenging. It required significantly more spiritual energy and placed a substantial burden on one's soul strength.

Yuan spent a few minutes mentally preparing himself. Once he was ready, he recreated the offensive formation and defensive formation he showcased during the last two tests.

After activating them, he sat down and closed his eyes to focus on maintaining the formations. Normally, this test would push most Array Masters to their limits, but Yuan felt incredibly at ease.

His spiritual energy recovery was so powerful that he could easily maintain a dozen formations simultaneously, much less two level 5 formations. As for his soul strength, it had reached the point where he couldn't even feel it depleting.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Yuan passed the final trial without breaking a single drop of sweat.

"Congratulations, you are now officially a Level 5 Array Master!" Hao Chen said to him afterward.

"It was only thanks to you, Senior Hao."

"In that case, don't forget about me when you make it big in the Array Tower," Hao Chen laughed merrily.

Yuan left the Array Masters' Association shortly after and made his way back to the Array Tower.

Once he returned to the Array Tower, Yuan approached the closed entrance, where a powerful tier 5 formation kept the doors sealed.

Yuan noticed the formation before he became a Level 5 Array Master, but he did not have the means to unseal it.

He proceeded to spend several hours trying to crack the formation. Despite the formation being a level 5 formation, it could qualify as a level 6 array solely due to its complexity.

Eventually, Yuan cracked the formation, unsealing the doors.

When Yuan stepped into the Array Tower, an ordinary-looking young woman greeted him just slightly beyond the entrance.

"Congratulations, you have qualified to take the assessment to join our Array Tower. Would you like to take the assessment right now?"

As the woman spoke, her gaze landed on Yuan's tower badges. Her eyes widened with surprise, as it was quite rare to see an individual associated with two towers simultaneously, especially the Martial Tower and Cultivation Tower.

"I would," Yuan nodded in response.

"Very well. If you could follow me, please."

Yuan followed the young woman to an empty room, where another individual was waiting.

This person was a middle-aged woman with dark green hair.

"In order to join our Array Tower, you must defeat me using level 5 array formations only," said the green-haired woman.

"We will both have ten minutes to prepare a defensive formation around our body. Then, we will attack using attack formations. Whoever breaks their opponent's defensive formation wins."
