1465 Technique Evaluation

“Okay, the formation is completed and activated,” Yuan announced after regaining control over his body.

Chairman Lee and everyone else in the room started looking around, but they were unable to sense anything different in the room.

“So… how does this formation work?” Chairman Lee eventually decided to ask.

In response, Yuan retrieved a sword—a real steel sword with a sharp blade.

“This might hurt a little, but bear with me.”

“H-huh? What are you going to—”

Before Chairman Lee could even finish his sentence, Yuan disappeared from his position and reappeared in front of him like a ghost with the sword positioned, the tip of the blade aimed at his heart.

“W-wait!” Chairman Lee’s body began sweating profusely.

Even though he knew that it would not kill him, he couldn’t control his instincts and feared for his life.

However, Yuan ignored him and shoved his arm, thrusting the sword at his heart.

Chairman Lee’s life flashed before his eyes, and right as the sword reached his body, a layer of spiritual energy suddenly appeared around his body, shielding him from any serious harm.

Yet, the sword still managed to strike Chairman Lee’s body, sending him flying.

A moment later, Chairman Lee lay on the floor in a sleeping position, his limbs spread out and his face dazed.

“I-I am still alive?” he slowly reached for his chest and rubbed the area Yuan had struck him. Although it felt like he had truly been stabbed in the heart, he could not feel any wounds on his body.

“Wait! My clothes!”

Unfortunately, his clothes did not come out unscathed and had a small slit where Yuan struck.

“Sorry, but the formation only protects one’s body, so your clothes can still be damaged.”

Chairman Lee eventually stood back up with a profound expression on his face.

“This formation… it will change—revolutionize Faction Wars! If we don’t have to worry about the players accidentally killing each other, we won’t have to restrict their weapons and martial techniques, allowing every player to display their true potential! This will make Faction Wars even more exciting and entertaining!” Chairman Lee clenched his fists from sheer excitement as he pondered the possibilities.

“I can change the terrains and make it more risky and dangerous! I can lay natural traps and much more! I cannot wait!”

Chairman Lee wore a wide smile on his face that looked a little sadistic.

Quickly snapping out of it, he turned to look at Yuan and asked, “How long do you think it’ll take to create this formation for the arenas? Also, I won’t ask you to do it for free. We will pay for it.”

Yuan didn’t immediately respond since he had to ask Yu Ning.

A moment later, he said, “Not long, a few minutes for each arena. However, they need to be recharged with spiritual energy every day. You can do so by feeding it with spirit stones.”

“Then can you do it after I speak with the organizers? Since this will change the entire Faction War scene, I will need the approval of others. Of course, I cannot imagine it being rejected. It’s more of a formality.”

Yuan nodded, “I don’t mind.”

“Then I will contact the organizers right now. As for the papers, you just need to write down the weapons you plan on using during the match and sign it.”

Chairman Lee left the room shortly after, leaving them alone.

Yuan and the others quickly completed the second page and moved to the third page, which displayed a map of the entire arena for siege mode.

Arena One stretched across a vast battlefield, spanning 20 miles in both width and length. The opposing castles were positioned in the west and east, approximately 15 miles apart.

The terrain was mostly flat, filled with trees and several hills.

“The map is pretty simple and safe,” Meifeng muttered out loud after looking at the map.

“I guess they didn’t want to risk putting anything that could be dangerous.” Wang Bingbing said.

“Things might change soon, though.” Shi Lang chuckled.

Chairman Lee returned to the room several minutes later.

“Are you guys done with the papers?” he asked them.

“Yes.”

“Great, then let’s bring you guys to get your martial techniques evaluated. As for the organizers of the Great Battlefield, they all agreed to create the formation, but they wanted to experience it for themselves first and wanted more details about what it would protect the players from. A meeting will be held after your match is concluded.”

“They didn’t question you where the formation will come from?” Yuan asked with a smile.

“Of course they did. I simply refused to answer. They will definitely continue to pester me for your identity during the meeting, though.”

Yuan nodded and said, “Then I will leave the formation in this room active for now. As for my identity… I can attend the meeting in disguise if you don’t mind.”

“That’s a great idea!” Chairman Lee quickly agreed.

Sometime later, Chairman Lee brought the members of the Demon Sealing Faction to a basement underneath the arena.

“The evaluation is typically done long before a match, but since you have only a dozen people in your faction, we decided to let you do it right before the match. In fact, those who haven’t been evaluated aren’t allowed to participate in any matches.” Chairman Lee said as they approached a large mechanical door.

He continued, “For privacy reasons, you will be evaluated one at a time. After your evaluation, you may only use the approved techniques during the match. You will automatically be disqualified if you use a martial technique that wasn’t approved. If you learn a new technique and wish to increase your list of approved techniques, you will need to be evaluated again for that specific technique.”

“So, who wants to be evaluated first?”

Wang Bingbing quickly raised her hand, “I will go first.”

She approached the door and waited for it to open, entering the spacious room behind the door that looked like an underground training facility a moment later.
