1643: Who Are You?

Who Are You?

"Destiny, huh?" Krikei found it hard to believe. "Whatever. My judgments are rarely wrong. However, you will have to prove your strength to my friends here once the test starts."0

Roan took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, I have just arrived here. How does the summon for the test work? Are we going to be sent to the test together or separately?"

Lita's mouth twitched after that. "You were talking like you're some hot shit, and you don't know anything?"

Vrie didn't mind it, though. "Forget it. All tests are carried inside Dimensional Realms."

Roan's attention was immediately piqued after that. Roan had been inside Dimensional Realms before. The Upside Down World was a good example. However, it was very rare to hear about some power that could use them. All the Dimensional Realms from before were usually something left behind by some experts. The Jhiod Sect was the first power Roan knew where they were located that could do it.

Vrie continued, "This build has twelve different giant rooms used to teleport the groups for the tests and bring them back. When the time comes, we will step on a teleport formation and will be sent into the Dimensional Realm. For the Deep Sea Monster Assault, we can be teleported together as long as we register our badges as being part of the same group."

Roan then asked something else after that. "Are you perhaps trying to find more experts to join this group? Otherwise, I can't see why you're waiting here."

Lita nodded, saying, "That's correct. I have a battle formation that can be used by seven beings at the same time. As long as they have similar strengths, this battle formation can increase our survivability by a lot."

Roan knew about battle formations. It was different from the formations that Rean and Havek created. Instead, it was a lot more like the formations that he used in an army. The difference was that it wasn't just about positioning and strategy. Battle formations really had the power of controlling the Divine Energy of everyone to achieve greater strength. Depending on the formation, they could also have several other uses. Battle formations would bring much better results than letting each being in the group act independently. 'It's been a long time since I used one of those,' Roan thought.

Roan then extended his hand, saying, "Let me see this battle formation."

Lita didn't like Roan's attitude. "Why? Do you doubt the efficacy of my battle formation?"

Roan shook his head in response. "No. I just want to get familiar with it as soon as possible."

Lita couldn't really go against Roan's words. "Fine. However, you better keep it between ourselves. I don't want to see others doing the same thing." She immediately threw a jade slip at Roan after saying that.

Roan then began to analyze the battle formation while he registered his badge into the same group as those three. Krikei and the others, obviously, continued to look around to see if they could bring more members into their group.

However, Roan called their attention a few minutes later. "There's no need to look for anyone else. Only the four of us is enough for this formation."

Lita looked back at Roan with a dark expression. "Did you hear what I said? We need seven members for the battle formation to work. It can still be used with less, but seven is the optimal number. Trust me. My clan used and upgraded this formation for several generations. Seven members are what we need."

Roan shook his head, clarifying, "Only if we use your version of the battle formation. If we use mine, we can do it with four. It will be a lot more mobile, so it's better like this."

"Your version?" Krikei, Lita, and Vrie looked at each other after that. "You also have a battle formation?"

"I don't. I just modified the formation she gave me," Roan answered nonchalantly.

Lita became angrier once she heard that. "To hell with you. Do you think a battle formation can be changed just like that? Do you know what the backlash would be like if anything goes wrong? We could really die, idiot."

Roan didn't try to explain. Instead, he made a copy of the new version he created with jade slips and threw them to the rest of the members of the group. "Take a look before you say anything else."

Lita snorted but decided to look anyway. She totally wanted to show Roan everything he did wrong and why he shouldn't meddle in topics that he had nothing to do with. Of course, Krikei and Vrie looked at it as well.

However, the more they looked at it, the more shocked they became. Let alone point out errors in Roan's revised battle formation. It felt like... it was stronger? Yes, it was stronger even though it only had four members. "This..."

They continued to look at it for over half an hour, trying to find something wrong. Yet, it didn't have anything like that. They wanted to say that Roan gave them something he already had before. That he was just trying to look smart, saying that it was the same battle formation. It wasn't possible, though. Lita, above all, was absolutely sure that the formation Roan provided was her own battle formation, just a lot more effective.

Eventually, Lita looked at Roan from a completely different perspective from before. "Just how did you do that?"

Roan shook his head, replying, "The battle formation itself was indeed very good. You weren't wrong. Seven members were optimal for your version. All I did was change the requirements and match the Divine Energy flow in the meridians accordingly. However, there's a catch."

Krikei was the first one to understand that. "Indeed. This four-member battle formation is stronger than Lita's seven-member one, even though they're the same. However, your new version uses a lot more Divine Energy. To be more specific, it uses twice as much."

Lita didn't care. "Still, just twice the amount of Divine Energy to achieve such power..." Lita couldn't take her eyes away from Roan, asking, "Just who are you?"
