70: Chapter 70 B-Rank Battle Formation, Hundred Gods' Power Slams into Your Face

Before Great Ancestor had even finished speaking, Second Ancestor had already produced a flat jade box from behind him.

The jade box was not large, only about a palm's width, yet its surface was engraved with two layers of law seals, emitting an aura even denser than an ordinary A-grade card.

Second Ancestor opened the jade box and took out a dark gold battle formation card.

On the card's surface, densely packed shield formation patterns were interwoven into a massive Xuanjia city wall, and behind the wall was an image of thousands of Martial Heavy Armor citizens marching forward.

Blood energy connection, bone-blood resonance, shield-wall unification.

As soon as Wang Pingan's gaze fell upon it, his divine core began to vibrate slightly.

"B-grade battle formation card, Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation." Second Ancestor handed the dark gold card toward Wang Pingan.

"It is suitable for Martial Heavy Armor legions and can integrate the blood energy of citizens at the Blood Condensation, Martial Master, and Martial Grandmaster stages with the shield formation."

"Once the shield formation is formed, the pressure-bearing capacity of the front row increases several times over, and the blood energy of the rear row can be directly infused into the bodies of the wounded in the front row through the formation patterns."

"It can support battles for legions under a 2nd Order God at its highest level."

2nd Order God.

Wang Pingan's gaze narrowed slightly.

He was currently a demigod, and the cultivation limit of his citizens was at the Foundation Establishment and Blood Condensation stages.

Yet, the limit of this battle formation card was pushed directly to the Martial Grandmaster stage.

This meant the Wang Family was not just providing for his immediate needs, but paving the way for his future.

Wang Pingan took the dark gold card, and the moment his fingertips touched the surface, he felt a flood of information regarding formation nodes: blood energy convergence points, shield-wall resonance frequencies, and formation-eye rotation rules. The information was complex and difficult to fully digest at once.

However, his first reaction was not to marvel, but to rapidly deduce.

The Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation followed a defensive, pressure-bearing path.

His current Xianwu Meat Grinder Array had the front-row Martial Dao shield wall as the first gate of the entire system.

If he replaced the original, crude shield formation with the Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation, the pressure-bearing capacity of the front-row Martial Heavy Armor would undergo a qualitative change.

But defense alone was not enough.

In war, one cannot simply take a beating.

Just as Wang Pingan thought of this, Great Ancestor had already produced a second jade box from the other side.

This jade box was narrower than Second Ancestor's, but the seals were denser, with layers of law patterns wrapped around it, and spiritual energy mixed with the formation's aura spilling outwards.

Great Ancestor opened the box and took out a silver-white battle formation card.

On the card's surface was another image: dozens of Psionic Heavy Cannons arranged in an arc, with layers of spell-linking nodes in front of the muzzles. The Sword Qi Battalion, Formation Hall, and Artillery Battalion coordinated on three fronts, their firepower merging into a blinding torrent.

"B-grade battle formation card, Xinghuo Liancheng Formation." Great Ancestor said slowly.

"It is suitable for the joint use of the Cultivation Artillery Battalion, Sword Qi Battalion, and Formation Hall."

"Cultivation Citizens at the Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, and Golden Core levels can connect their spiritual energy into a unified firepower chain through the formation nodes."

"Segmented focused fire, long-range suppression, and formation coordination can all be achieved."

"It can also be used up to the First-Order Deity stage at its highest level."

Wang Pingan took the silver-white card with his right hand, while still holding the dark gold card in his left.

One offensive, one defensive.

Long-range suppression paired with positional advancement.

In his mind, he was already performing nested deductions of both battle formation cards with the Xianwu Meat Grinder Array.

The Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation solved the front-row pressure-bearing issue, allowing the Xianwu Meat Grinder Array's offensive-defensive conversion speed to become faster, as the front row no longer needed to worry about being breached.

The Xinghuo Liancheng Formation solved the long-range firepower chain issue, allowing the Artillery Battalion and Sword Qi Battalion to output steadily behind the shield wall, without needing to fire dispersedly as before.

With the two formations combined, the upper limit of the Xianwu Meat Grinder Array was pushed directly from "able to win rookie battles" to "able to fight demigod legion battles."

Wang Pingan looked up at the two ancestors.

"With one offensive and one defensive formation, combined with the offensive-defensive conversion of the Meat Grinder Formation, it will be just enough to push the current legion from a rookie system to a formal legion battle system."

Great Ancestor and Second Ancestor exchanged a glance.

A hint of a smile appeared on Second Ancestor's lips as he turned to look at Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue.

"You said he understood war before, and you weren't wrong."

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue also smiled.

"He never gets foolish when he receives resources; he always thinks about how to use them the moment he gets them."

Wang Pingan stored the two battle formation cards into his divine core space, and just as he was about to bow and thank them, Great Ancestor produced a token from his sleeve.

The token was solid black-gold, palm-sized, with the characters "Divine Power" engraved on the front and the Wang Family crest on the back.

Wang Pingan looked at the token, unable to react for a moment.

Great Ancestor handed it to him.

"Special resources for your first year at Galaxy Deity University; the family has allocated you 100 Divine Power Points."

Wang Pingan's hand, which was taking the token, paused visibly.

100 Divine Power Points.

Each Divine Power Point was equivalent to 100 million Source Power Points.

100 Divine Power Points was 10 billion Source Power Points.

The 1 billion Source Power Points he had received previously was already the largest number he had ever seen in his life.

Now, what was contained in this token was ten times that amount.

Wang Pingan gripped the black-gold token, his heart skipping a beat.

For the first time, he felt that the resource measurement units of deity families and those of the student stage were completely different worlds.

Source Power Points were for students and rookies to play with.

Divine Power Points were the hard currency among deities.

Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue saw the ripples in his eyes and offered a word of advice.

"Source Power nurtures rookies, while Divine Power nurtures deities."

"You should get used to it in advance."

Wang Pingan forced himself to compose his mind and placed the black-gold token into his divine core space.

As the token entered his core, his entire divine core lit up with a faint glow, the massive energy locked inside the token, waiting for him to call upon it in the future.

100 Divine Power Points.

Two B-grade battle formation cards.

Plus the previous 1 billion Source Power, three A-grade Divine Domain cards, and the a-grade martial arts stele.

The things the Wang Family had lavished on him were enough to make an ordinary Tier 3 Deity green with envy.

After steadying his breathing, Wang Pingan bowed to the two ancestors once again.

"Pingan will certainly not let you down."

Great Ancestor looked at him, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his cloudy old eyes for the first time.

But the next moment, that satisfaction was replaced by seriousness.

"Do not be in a hurry to be happy."

"Galaxy Deity University is not Tianhai Star."

"The students there may have 5th Order, 6th Order, or even higher-ranking deity families standing behind them."

"The reputation you made during the Seventeen Stars assessment is merely an entrance qualification there."

"After entering, the networking support the family can provide you will be very limited, and you must not lay all your trump cards on the table."

Great Ancestor spoke every word slowly, yet it made Wang Pingan's heart sink a little.

He was well aware that Tianhai Star was just a remote, small star in the entire Federation.

Being the Seventeen Stars champion could get him through the door, but once inside, he would be facing monsters from the entire Xuanyuan Star Region and even the major star regions of the Federation.

Second Ancestor added from the side.

"You defeated Xiao Xuan in the finals; the Liumang Star Xiao Family will not let this rest."

"Some forces in the star regions have already noticed you. Once you arrive at Xinghe University, while school rules offer protection on the surface, there is no guarantee that no one will play dirty in the shadows."

"The family will send a Tier 3 Deity elder and several Tier 1 Deities to escort you to Xinghe University and take care of your daily life, but you must not be careless on the road."

Wang Pingan listened and silently took note.

He was very clear about his situation; on Tianhai Star, he was an absolute genius, but on a larger stage, he was just a rookie who had just ascended to demigod.

No matter how strong his talent was, it needed time to be converted into strength.

And time was precisely the thing he lacked the least.

Wang Pingan took all the advice from the two ancestors to heart and finally performed a deep bow.

"Great Ancestor, Second Ancestor, rest assured, Pingan will walk every step steadily."

Great Ancestor waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.

Second Ancestor looked at him one last time and offered a word of encouragement.

"Go. When we meet again, I hope you are already a First-Order Deity."

Wang Pingan solemnly agreed and turned to follow Third Ancestor Wang Xuanyue out of the depths of the secret realm.

Please, foster fathers and mothers, give me a five-star rating; there have been too many bad reviews lately.

This foster son kowtows in thanks. Also, using 'Love to Power' is free, you know.
