Chapter 1960: Chapter 1960: Killing Formation

After Su Chen left, he returned to his room and continued to study the Path of Inscriptions!

Recently, he has been spending a lot of time on the Path of Inscriptions, mainly because he suddenly realized that upon reaching the Sixth Level of Inscriptions, he could actually deploy a Killing Formation!

The so-called Killing Formation is a type of formation that uses inscriptions as a trigger to aid in battle!

Su Chen had encountered some formations before that were used for aiding in battles, such as the Six Palaces Life-Seizing Formation he encountered last time when rescuing Luo Xiwen!

However, those formations were not triggered by inscriptions but were advanced applications of Fengshui Formations!

No matter how advanced, in essence, they still belonged to Fengshui Formations!

But Killing Formations are different, they involve the use of the mysterious powers of inscriptions, completely different in concept and level!

And once a Killing Formation is in place, it will definitely be a considerable boost to his strength!

Of course, such a fierce Killing Formation is not something easy to comprehend!

To be precise, once inscriptions reach the Sixth Level, it is completely a new watershed, not just about Killing Formations!

Fortunately, Su Chen’s spiritual power is not what it used to be, and his comprehension has improved greatly!

...

Unknowingly, three to four days have passed!

During these days, the entire Shenfeng Dynasty was in an uproar!

Because the Four Major Academies had merged!

This news is definitely a bombshell for everyone in the dynasty!

What does the Four Major Academies represent?!

They are absolutely the top in the dynasty!

Undoubtedly, the merger of the Four Major Academies makes it the largest force within the dynasty, even the royal family cannot compete!

However, the Four Major Academies were not exactly enemies, but were competitive with each other, so why the sudden merger?!

Anyone with a bit of sense can figure out that there must be someone or some power driving this!

For those with some status and background, they have vaguely linked a name— the young man who stirred waves in the Great Yan Empire.

If it’s him, then everything makes sense!

And Li Changting becoming the dean of the new academy seems to confirm this!

Gradually, more information came out. Besides Li Changting becoming the dean of the new academy, the deans of the previous three academies became the vice-deans of the new academy!

Besides that, there are elders represented in all the academies, though Zhaixing Academy and Wind and Cloud Academy have a larger share!

This is normal, since these two academies were stronger than the others to begin with!

Actually, the students had not heard much about this beforehand, so they were stunned by the news!

But once they calmed down, they couldn’t hide their excitement!

First and foremost is the abundance of cultivation resources. They have already heard that the cultivation resources of the new academy are incomparable to what they currently have, like heaven and earth!

What martial artists want most are, of course, cultivation resources!

Actually, the gap between martial artists comes from multiple reasons, besides talent and effort, the key is the environment and resources for Martial Arts Cultivation!

Secondly, being in the same academy as that legendary figure is such an honor!

Now, Su Chen holds a particularly high status among the youth, becoming an object of worship for everyone!

With this, perhaps they’ll even get to meet him!

Especially some of the girls, thinking that perhaps Young Master Su might take notice of them?!

Initially, the senior officials of the other academies feared resistance or deep-seated opposition to the merger of the Four Major Academies, but to their surprise, once the news was released, everyone was exceedingly excited and couldn’t wait to move to the new academy!

This made them a little helpless, feeling somewhat "hurt"!

One can only say that Young Master Su holds too high a status among the young people!

...

Su Chen was unaware of these external matters, and he no longer worried about the Four Major Academies’ merger!

He fully trusted Li Changting to handle it, believing that he would do a good job!

During these days, he was focused on comprehending that Killing Formation!

Currently, he is researching the most basic type of Killing Formation, called the "Heavenly Origin Killing Formation"!

However, even though it’s the most basic Killing Formation, he hasn’t mastered it after a few days of comprehension!

Even with the support of spiritual power, his head feels somewhat foggy and heavy!

Thus, he took a bath to refresh himself!

After bathing and changing into clean clothes, his mind was indeed much clearer!

After several days of not going out, he planned to go for a walk!

He first went to Du Hanbing and the others, but some were cultivating, and the women who were not cultivating were chatting with Tang Yun!

For those in cultivation, he didn’t disturb them and went to Tang Yun instead!

Regarding the topics of conversation among the women, he wasn’t particularly interested, but while sitting there, he started teasing Tang Yun and Luo Xiwen, making both girls blush with embarrassment.

In the end, the two girls had no choice but to drive this rogue out!

With no other option, he could only loiter around the academy!

However, as he walked out of the residential area, he noticed the entire academy was undergoing extensive construction, clearly due to the academy’s need for expansion after the merger!

Naturally, Su Chen wasn’t concerned with such matters; he took a short stroll and then returned!

"It seems, comprehending the Heavenly Origin Killing Formation all at once is unlikely!"

He muttered.

Hence, he decided to switch to practicing or comprehending something else!

Of course, he wouldn’t give up, but occasionally changing focus is beneficial, planning to resume his research on the "Heavenly Origin Killing Formation" in a few days!

At present, he focused on cultivating his spiritual power!

His current spiritual power reached the eighty-fifth level, already a sight to behold in the eyes of ordinary martial artists, but it’s still not enough for Su Chen!

Moreover, enhancing spiritual power is advantageous for research as well!

...

Time slipped by, and in a dozen or so days, besides cultivating his spiritual power, he also practiced the "Nine Yang Divine Technique" and the "Supreme Star Shifting Technique"!

Of course, he won’t give up on the "Heavenly Origin Killing Formation" either!

Now, his spiritual power has advanced another level, reaching eighty-six, and his star energy is even more abundant, now around twenty million strands!

However, his cultivation level hasn’t broken through, which is normal given it’s only been about a dozen days, how can there be progress in all areas?

Moreover, during these days, he spent a significant amount of time studying the "Heavenly Origin Killing Formation"!

Additionally, he has to spend time with the women; his return this time was primarily to accompany them!

So, in reality, the time spent on cultivating his spiritual power, personal cultivation level, and star energy was only about seven to eight days, which is quite remarkable already!
