Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

"Randomly selecting the next temporary commander..."

The training continued.

Everyone piloted their Air-Space Warplanes, with beams of light crisscrossing to form a Third-order Army Formation within a ten-kilometer radius.

Attack, defense, movement, search.

They trained on each subject in turn.

The score,

was barely satisfactory.

Most students didn't even do as well as Huang Tianxin, at least he succeeded in forming a Third-rank Military Formation and could command the troops to launch a Third-order Golden Pill strike, many students couldn't do so.

Very few students performed better than Huang Tianxin, and those who did were also destroyed in one hit under the Golden Pill Level attack, their flaws were simply too great.

The best score was achieved by Jin Lingfeng.

She successfully withstood a strike from a Golden Pill Monk, only to be defeated by the second strike.

"Next, Jiang Ding."

The command system formed by the integration of the war machine Array Spirits announced.

"Everyone, at Foundation Building Stage, deploy the Sky Celestial Army Formation."

"Yes!"

Jiang Ding took a deep breath, took over the command, and as the EDU-645 flew towards the central area, he fired thirty-five searing white rays and simultaneously received the searing white rays from other Air-Space Warplanes.

Traces of incomplete Formation Paths appeared in his Divine Soul.

It was as if a huge, incomplete Formation took shape in the sky, broken into many pieces.

An Array Master had to piece it together in the shortest time, adjust and test it to ensure the Third-order Formation had no weaknesses in attack, defense, or mobility, and that the response time was minimized.

"Student Huang Tianxin, your warplane's position needs adjustment, the data are as follows..."

"Student Jin Lingfeng, the seventeenth node in the Army Formation System you are in needs adjusting to..."

"..."

Jiang Ding's Divine Consciousness scanned through, issuing hundreds of orders, constantly adjusting the Formation he led, letting it slowly take shape.

To be honest, it wasn't going smoothly.

Although he had Third Order Formation Path skills and was among the top in his class, that was just him alone.

Often,

many of the orders he issued didn't fully take into consideration the abilities and Formation Path skills of the other students, resulting in many delays in the tactical maneuvers of the Air-Space Warplanes.

And that was the better outcome. Some orders simply couldn't be executed at all.

Exceeding others' capabilities, he had to issue new orders to switch them with more capable students, which led to more chaos.

Additionally, when students adjusted the Formation, they inevitably became flustered and nervous, and mistakes were made.

At such times, an excellent Commander, like Jin Lingfeng and others, would comfort them with a gentle voice, using high emotional intelligence and an inspiring tone to calm the panicked students, significantly reducing the chance of error.

Jiang Ding did none of this.

He just reassigned people, bringing in someone new.

"The Army Formation adjustment is complete."

Amidst the bumps and scrapes, the Third-rank Military Formation was barely completed in eighteen seconds, completely mismatched with his Formation Path skill level.

"Enemy trace!"

A Golden Core Puppet appeared seventy kilometers away and disappeared in a flash, its Escape Light terrifyingly fast.

"Tilt the Formation towards the Third-Order Spirit Element Radar Electromagnetic Interaction Array..."

Jiang Ding suppressed his innate battle instinct to either flee or confront and, seated at the center of the Army Formation, controlled the Third-Order surveillance Formation to search for and sense the enemy.

Nothing was detected.

"It seems that in terms of Army Formation command, I truly lack talent and will find it difficult to reach the top in the future."

Jiang Ding sighed.

Having only been exposed to aerial command for a few months wasn't an excuse. After all, it was Jin Lingfeng's first time participating in Air-Space Warplane training.

If he wanted to continue in this area, he would have to spend a great deal of time grinding away, suppressing others with his Cultivation Base and Divine Soul, only then could he be on par with others in aerial command.

Whoosh!

```

A Rune Golden Spear Magical Tool appeared within ten kilometers, stirring the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and transforming into a gold light that hurtled towards the core of the Third-order Army Formation, its speed and power far surpassing an attack from a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Fire!"

Jiang Ding commanded.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Enhanced by the Third-rank Military Formation, thirty-six Hunter missiles formed an attack spell that met the oncoming attack, equally stirring the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi within a ten-kilometer radius and clearly exhibiting the fluctuations of a Third-order spell.

It's just that the gap was too big, too crude, and hard to face a real Golden Pellet Realm cultivator.

The Rune Golden Spear Magical Tool almost instinctively adjusted its angle, aiming for the core structure of the thirty-six Hunter missile spell. This was a very simple task for it.

Just about to pierce through and destroy the spell core.

Boom!

In the midst of the aerial explosion, an Azure Flying Sword appeared, blocking the path of the Rune Golden Spear Magical Tool. The Flying Sword rang out clearly, showing no signs of dodging in the face of a Golden Pill Artifact.

Heading straight for it!

"What is it trying to do? That's a Golden Pill Artifact!"

Jin Lingfeng, piloting the war machine, was startled.

Suddenly, he understood why his forty-nine Seven-colored Plume Feather Magic Tool embryos were so timid; there was a reason for it.

Ding!

Amidst the loud clashing of metal, Spiritual Light shattered, sparks flying in all directions.

It was evident that the Azure Flying Sword was no match, as if struck by lightning, its Spiritual Light dim and fading, bouncing away into the distance, seemingly sustaining no light damage and requiring days of tempering for repair.

Still, it was quite excited.

Indeed, it was no match, but it managed to delay the Rune Golden Spear Magical Tool for a moment, causing it to slow down slightly from its high-speed motion.

"Good!"

Many classmates' eyes lit up.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The thirty-six Hunter missiles, once again composed of a Third-order spell, pounced instantly, with a thunderous roar, the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi undulated non-stop, definitely at the level of a Third-order spell.

The smoke and clouds dispersed,

The Spiritual Light of the Rune Golden Spear Magical Tool dimmed a bit, yet its speed did not change; it shone brighter and headed towards the core of the Third-order military formation even faster.

"Dari Swordsman!"

Jin Lingfeng saw the opportunity for victory and expressed his excitement.

Whoosh!

The Taiqing Flying Sword arrived in an instant, not afraid of worsening its wounds. On the contrary, it was even more excited, facing the oncoming threat head-on with its brilliant Azure Sword-light shining like the sun.

Ding!

This time, it was knocked away with even greater speed, its Spiritual Light dimmed significantly, and its power greatly reduced, unable to even slightly slow the Rune Golden Spear Magical Tool.

"There's a conflict!"

Jiang Ding sighed inwardly.

Sword Cultivators refine their techniques into a singular point, breaking through everything with that point, emphasizing individuality.

On the contrary, Army Formation Systems are the complete opposite; one's Divine Sense is distributed everywhere, transforming one into many, using the formation to control a wide expanse of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi to kill the enemy.

These are two completely opposite combat philosophies!

In the face of such fierce conflict, tragedy struck immediately.

Trying to cover all bases, but in the end capturing none.

Boom!

As the Taiqing Flying Sword was forced back, the Third-order attack spell composed of the thirty-six Hunter missiles instantly disintegrated into chaos.

No longer possessing the power of a Third-order spell, they were just scattered attacks from the Foundation Establishment Stage, failing to attract the attention of the Rune Golden Spear Magical Tool.

It passed through the missile swarm and landed on the cockpit of Jiang Ding's Air-Space Warplane, tapping lightly as the formation collapsed.

A sense of death approached, then vanished.

Jiang Ding shuddered, breaking into a cold sweat.

"It's good that this is only a training ground. In real war, don't attempt such a divided focus."
