Sect Leader Chu and the Old Ancestor of the Shen Family, upon seeing Mo Hua’s Formation, were also secretly astonished.
"Though meticulously executed with surplus neatness, it lacks in charm, having a bit too much of a craftsman’s air. But for someone of such a young age to be able to draw to this extent, with such precision, is already very commendable."
At the very least, it’s better than those drawn by the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
The Chief Elder then compared it to the Heavy Water Formation drawn earlier by the disciple in the blue robe and let out a slight sigh.
Although their disciple drew well, it was merely drawing.
There were quite a few flaws in his brushwork.
It didn’t seem too bad until the comparison was made.
But once compared, it just didn’t hold up.
When it comes to Formations, good is good, bad is bad.
"This round..."
The Chief Elder paused for a moment, thought hard, and then finally remembered the name of the young Formation Master.
It seemed like this name was very easy to overlook and hard to remember.
"...Mo Hua, is slightly superior."
Mo Hua’s expression brightened.
The disciple in the blue robe, however, had a defeated look on his face, unable to comprehend how he lost, and where exactly he fell short.
After drawing the Formation and warming up, Mo Hua was no longer nervous.
The first victory was a success, earning face for his master.
Moreover, he had learned a new Formation - the Heavy Water Formation was a free lesson provided by the Five Elements Sect.
Mo Hua was very pleased in his heart and looked forward with even greater anticipation to the upcoming competitions.
In the glittering Immortal City filled with cultivators.
Mo Hua leaned on a tall desk, swinging his legs and asked with shining eyes:
"What’s next?"
The Chief Elder’s brow twitched, feeling a faint pressure emanating from the innocent and lively Mo Hua.
His gaze hardened slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said solemnly:
"Speed of drawing!"
Mo Hua was taken aback, then understood.
It’s about who can draw faster.
The speed of a Formation Master’s drawing is important.
The faster the Formation is drawn, the more Formations there will be. This speed matters in the construction of large-scale Tao Cultivation projects, production, Taoist Soldiers expeditions, fights to the death between Cultivators... ṛäꞐỌ₿ЁŚ
In any situation involving the application of Formations.
Being one minute faster in drawing a Formation could mean having an advantage.
Especially when Formation Masters are in confrontation, if your opponent has finished setting up their Formation while you’re still huffing and puffing drawing Formation Patterns, then the Formation you haven’t finished can only be drawn in your next life...
But speaking of speed of drawing, this is also Mo Hua’s strength.
Heaven Yan Jue enhances Divine Sense control.
Back in Tongxian City, constructing the Artifact Refining Workshop and Pill Refining Workshop, as well as later building the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation, all those Formations were done almost single-handedly by him.
Not to mention now, he has also comprehended the Spiritual Pivot Formation.
"Come on!"
Mo Hua said expectantly.
He wanted to know if the Five Elements Sect would let him learn any Formation for free this time.
The Chief Elder frowned, sensing something amiss, but still clenched his teeth and waved his hand.
A disciple in a gold robe stepped out from the crowd and sat opposite Mo Hua.
Lean and tall, with an upward tilt at the corners of his eyebrows, he seemed quite arrogant.
The Formation Diagrams were distributed.
Mo Hua took a glance and felt a bit disappointed.
It was a Sharp Gold Formation.
He had already studied this Formation.
He didn’t manage to freeload a new Formation...
Mo Hua was somewhat regretful.
Since he had learned it already, there was no time to waste; best to make it quick...
After the Chief Elder said "begin," Mo Hua and the disciple in the gold robe both started drawing at the same time.
The disciple in the gold robe was very fast.
His Spiritual Root was special, affined to gold Spiritual Power, and so he was extremely adept at drawing any Gold-series Formation Method, twice as fast as anyone else.
In the entire Five Elements Sect, no disciple could draw the Gold-series Formation Method faster than him.
He was therefore highly regarded by the Chief Elder.
The disciple in the gold robe, full of confidence, wrote with vigor...
But before he had drawn many Patterns, he heard a crisp and slightly immature voice say:
"I’m done!"
The hand of the disciple in the gold robe shook, pressing down a brushstroke that smeared a wide swath of gold ink on the paper.
But he couldn’t afford to attend to that.
He stiffly turned his neck to see Mo Hua sitting on the chair, gently swaying, eagerly waiting to hand in his work.
The disciple in the gold robe could hardly believe it.
How long had it been?
And he was finished already?
When Mo Hua’s completed Formation was laid out in front of everyone, the Chief Elder’s expression became even more somber.
Down to the last detail, it was indeed the Sharp Gold Formation.
The Chief Elder was incredulous.
And even Sect Leader Chu and the Old Ancestor of the Shen Family beside him couldn’t snap back to reality.
It was too fast.
All they saw was Mo Hua pick up the brush, dip in the ink, make the stroke, and then with a swishing sound, as though playing around, he finished drawing the Sharp Gold Formation in just a few motions...
This was a First-grade Formation Method.
Could a First-grade Formation Master draw a First-grade Formation Method so quickly?
Is this really the skill level a First-grade Formation Master should have?
The three Golden Core Elders fell into a prolonged silence, unable to utter a single word.
Mo Hua, however, was getting a bit bored waiting and asked:
"What’s next?"
Once the competition was over, he could help his master regain his pride, and then he would be able to learn the Ultimate Formation with Thirteen Stripes.
What else is there to compare?
In Mo Hua’s crisp voice, there was an air of ease.
This time, not only the Chief Elder, but also Sect Leader Chu and the Old Ancestor of the Shen Family felt the pressure emanating from the young Qi Refinement cultivator in the room...
