Su Zixin didn't care about the commotion in the fan club. This place didn't prohibit such actions from fans.
"There are three rounds in the assessment. Those who pass will be awarded the title of diamond-grade array master. If one fails, the assessment will be a failure! The first round is the array formation assessment. The array formation Association will provide all the array flags and you will pass if you can set up the required complete array within an hour. If you exceed the time limit or set up an incomplete array, you will fail!"
Since Lin Yi and Shi Yucai were both diamond grandmasters, su Zixin had set the standard as pass and fail.
If the two of them were of different grades, they would need to be divided into different standards and a point system, just like in the alchemy Grandmaster examination.
The first round of the assessment was relatively simple. The questions given were not difficult. The array that needed to be set up was the kind that even grandmasters could set up. The only thing that needed to be tested was speed and accuracy.
After seeing the question, Shi longcai immediately picked up the array flags provided by the array Dao Association and began to set them up.
His movements were as smooth and elegant as the floating clouds and flowing water, causing the little fangirls in the fan club to cheer.
Rather than saying that he was setting up an array, it would be better to say that he was performing.
That kind of pleasing action and posture could really make people feel happy.
Beside su Zixin, there were a few higher-ups of the array formation Association who were watching. The diamond Grade array formation Grandmaster assessment was a rare event and everyone who had nothing to do would come.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the fun, while the expert sees the skill.
In contrast to the brainless cheers of the fan girls in the support group, their soft discussions at this time appeared very professional.
"Shi Yucai is indeed a genius in arrays. His array-setting skills seem to have reached the point of perfection, especially that corner connection. If he's a little slower, the entire array-setting process will become stagnant, and the overall speed will slow down by a few notches."
"That's right, and the formation flag combination at the key node is really exactly the same. If there's even the slightest mistake, we'll have to overturn this node and set it up again. A slight change will affect the whole formation and the entire formation will be affected."
"Just by looking at Shi tiancai's technique, she does indeed have diamond-level strength. Such a young genius is hard to come by in a hundred years!"
"Sima Yi's side has also started. He's publicly acknowledged as a rare genius in alchemy that only appears once in a hundred years, but I've never heard of him in terms of array Dao. I'm afraid he's only asking for humiliation by taking the same rank title test as Shi Yucai ..."
Lin Yi curled his lips, speechless at the comments.
Shi tiancai's movements in setting up the formation were certainly gorgeous and pleasing to the eye, and at the same time, there was no lack of speed and precision, but there were some useless movements in it that slightly affected the speed of setting up the formation.
If it was a life-and-death battle between two array Masters of the same level, these useless movements could easily send Shi longcai to his death.
The array Masters in the crowd were not bad, and they were indeed experts, but their vision was limited by their own strength, and they could only see Shi tiancai's brilliance, but not his shortcomings ...
Lin Yi took out formation flags ten seconds after Shi chengcai.
Unlike Shi chengcai, Lin Yi's movements were simple and clear, without any unnecessary factors.
If it was a comic, a line of words would most likely float across the side. --Was an emotionless array setting machine!
It was simple, accurate, and practical!
It certainly didn't look as pleasing to the eye as Shi longcai, but it had a simple beauty to it.
It was a pity that none of those fangirls appreciated Lin Yi-they only had Shi tiancai in their eyes, and Lin Yi was completely ignored.
As for the practitioners of the Association, their expressions changed after seeing Lin Yi's formation.
Slowly, everyone started to watch Lin Yi's formation, and no one paid attention to Shi Yucai anymore.
This was the complete opposite of his fangirls.
"Heavens! You can actually set up a formation like this!"
"Unbelievable! What did I just see?"
"Unbelievable! It turns out that this place can be set up in such a way, and the efficiency is more than twice as high as mine!"
……
The practitioners were all shocked, each and every one of them covering their mouths and letting out a soft cry, afraid of disturbing Lin Yi, but they couldn't hold back the shock in their hearts. They felt like they were going to suffocate if they didn't make a sound!
Su Zixin's expression was also constantly changing. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Ten minutes later, the two of them finished setting up the array at the same time and successfully activated it at the same time. Both of them were almost perfect.
Su Zixin had a shocked expression on his face as he and the other experts around him applauded and cheered.
"Amazing, the two deans are really amazing, opening this Lord's eyes. This Lord knows that I can't do what the two deans did, whether it's speed or accuracy, it's hard to compare! I admit defeat!"
This was a display of his demeanor as the president of the combat Association.
if one's strength was inferior to others, one could just admit it graciously. no one would criticize a gentlemanly president even if his strength was slightly inferior.
however, su zi was truly shocked by lin yi's strength!
this person really had the strength of a diamond-grade array master!
even in terms of formation technique, it was already quite terrifying!
at the same time, shi shengcai's shock was no less than before.
he was already super fast, but lin yi was even faster!
the two seemed to have finished setting up the formation at the same time, but shi yucai knew that he'd started ten seconds before lin yi.
so strictly speaking, he lost to lin yi in terms of speed!
he still didn't know that this was the result of lin yi's deliberate control and delay. if he knew the truth, he might feel humiliated and fall out with lin yi.
"Guild Master su, can you announce the results now?"
Lin Yi looked at su Zixin calmly.
It was just a basic operation, what was there to be surprised about?
Su Zixin suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded with a smile."Of course there's no problem with the results. Such an excellent performance is simply impeccable! It seems that the first round of assessment didn't put any pressure on the two of you. You're indeed worthy of being the peerless duo of Tianxia Academy, I'm impressed. "
After a seemingly sincere but perfunctory compliment, su Zixin kept his smile and announced expressionlessly,""Next, we'll proceed to the second round of the assessment, which is to modify and strengthen the array!"
"In this round, the two of you will be given the same trapping formation. On the premise that the original function of the formation will not be affected, the formation will be modified and strengthened with the uniformly distributed formation flags, so that the trapping formation will have more functions!"
"After the modification, the original function can not be weakened in the slightest. Once it is weakened, it will be judged as unqualified. Simply strengthening the original function is not enough. Different functions must appear!"
The second round of assessment was a little more difficult. There were not many complex arrays on the sub-Island, and only Grandmaster level experts would be involved in it.
