"There are many ways an Array Master can fight. They can support the others like Dong Zhou is doing right now, or they can fight in the frontline by themselves. It all depends on what they prefer and how confident they are in their own arrays."

"Some Array Masters may prefer supporting because they are not confident in their ability to fight, but that is not to say they don't have the capabilities to do so." Huang Xiao Li explained to him.

Bang!

The ship shook again when one of the tentacles struck the barrier protecting the ship.

"I didn't notice the formation until you told me. How can you tell there's one?" Yuan then asked.

"Formations can be spotted quite easily if you know what you're looking for. Unless the formation is concealed with another formation, you should be able to see it with your divine sense."

"With my divine sense?" Yuan immediately tried looking with his divine sense, and sure enough, there was a massive barrier around the ship that seems to be made of symbols— tens of thousands of symbols that connect with each other.

"You probably think there's only a few thousand symbols in this formation, right? Look at the symbols individually again. Each of these symbols are actually combinations of smaller symbols, so there are millions if not billions of symbols that make up this formation."

"Heavens… How long would it take to create this formation?" Yuan asked after a moment of silence.

"Hmmm… It really depends on the complexity of the formation and the ability of those Formation Experts that worked on it. A formation of this size and complexity probably took years if not decades of efforts from hundreds of Formation Experts to complete."

"That long?!" Yuan was shocked.

"Of course. Formations often require millions of symbols, and a single mistake can cause the whole formation to crumble. Unlike arrays that don't need as much attention since they require much fewer symbols, so even if you make a mistake, you can quickly fix it."

"Furthermore, arrays are meant to be used very quickly and do not have lasting effects. Formations, on the other hand, are often made to last for as long as possible. There are plenty of formations out there that have lasted for even millions of years."

way, yes. However, most people become Array Masters before they become Formation Experts. Although formation requires symbols, formations have their own unique symbols while arrays have their own distinctive symbols. That's what really separates us apart from being completely
