Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 217: (Final Question)

The long table in the meditation room was piled with half a foot of yellowed paper. These weren't cultivation method manuals or secret texts, but rather the Repair Hall's accumulated "Formation Accident Reports" and various rubbings of discarded formation plates.

Three days ago, that Formation Peak genius, Luo Feng, had personally come to the Repair Hall under the pretext of "verifying a batch of training formation plates."

After the handover was complete and the crowd had dispersed, he seemingly casually strolled to Su Ming's side. His fingertip quickly traced a few obscure structural nodes on the tabletop with spiritual energy, his voice dropping extremely low:

"Hundred Refinements Peak, Examiner is Shishu Zhang. This person has a fiery temper, despises trickery the most, and uniquely loves this formation's uprightness and its method of overwhelming with momentum. Throughout all previous exam questions, despite myriad changes, they never stray from this core. Do well for yourself."

With that, Luo Feng flicked his sleeve as if nothing had happened and drifted away.

Combined with the fragmented information Wang Defa had pried from the old clerks at the External Affairs Hall about Zhang Lie's preferences, this became the starting point for the deduction diagram in Su Ming's hands. This information was probably only known to him and Luo Feng at the moment.

Su Ming pinched a specially made, extremely fine charcoal pencil in his hand and drew a heavy red circle on a sketch depicting complex formation lines.

"Master, according to the information from Luo Feng, plus the hints Steward Wang managed to dig up, this Examiner Zhang has a 'fiery temper'." Su Ming lightly tapped the red circle with his fingertip. "What he's most skilled at, and what he most enjoys setting up in assessments, are variant questions based on the 'Nine-Curve Solar Yang Formation'."

"Nine-Curve Solar Yang Formation..."

Lin Yu's voice echoed in the Consciousness Sea, carrying a hint of nonchalance. "Sounds intimidating by name. Its characteristics are fast initiation, high burst damage, and this formation has nine energy loops, one nested within another. If you mess up just one part slightly, the entire formation will collapse like dominoes, incidentally blasting the problem-solver into a dusty mess."Su Ming gave a slight nod, his charcoal pencil quickly sketching nine intertwined curves on the paper, representing the trajectories of spiritual energy flow.

"Steward Wang says this Steward Zhang has a stubborn, self-willed personality and hates people cutting corners the most. In past assessments, anyone who used 'tricky' methods to break formations, even if they succeeded, didn't get high scores. He likes to see that kind of... head-on, brute-force solution."

"Head-on brute force?" Lin Yu snorted with a laugh. "Using your head to smash against a rock, that's recklessness. Disciple, we are technicians, not a demolition crew."
