"Using the Heavenly Derivation Method?"
Everyone was shocked.
"This thing can also be used with the Heavenly Derivation Method?"
"Isn't the Heavenly Derivation Method specifically for techniques and martial arts?"
Seeing everyone's questions, Ma Long was also confused.
"What? None of you have used the Heavenly Derivation Method for deduction?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Han Lang explained at this moment.
"The Heavenly Derivation Method is not solely used for deducing martial arts techniques. In many cases, when Shennong Heavenly Physicians research new Shennong Eighteen Needles, the needle technique, depth, force, and other aspects for each acupoint can be deduced using the Heavenly Derivation Method. Therefore, formations and even alchemy can be predicted using the Heavenly Derivation Method."
Upon hearing Han Lang's explanation, everyone finally understood.
"No wonder. I thought my decades of cultivation family talent were really inferior to Ma Long's?"
"Exactly! If that were the case, wouldn't I be so ashamed I wouldn't know where to hide!"
Ma Long was unhappy upon hearing this.
"Hey, hey, you guys. A bet is a bet, right? Why is it that I could think of the Heavenly Derivation Method and you couldn't? Doesn't that already prove that my mind is actually better than yours?"
Han Lang also supported Ma Long.
"That's right! Having the ability but not knowing how to use it, isn't that also a form of talent?"
Shan Nan also chuckled.
"I'm on Ma Long's side this time too. As soldiers, we care about the results. As long as the result is a loss, then it's a loss. No one cares about the process!"
Hearing Shan Nan and Han Lang say this, everyone finally realized their mistake.
Perhaps it was because they grew up in their families since childhood.
Sometimes, they would more or less neglect the feelings of others.
Moreover, they had such a good relationship with Ma Long, and it was easy to overlook the boundaries when joking.
Instantly, everyone lowered their heads in shame, apologized to Ma Long, and admitted that he indeed possessed extremely high cultivation talent.
Ma Long did not care about these things.
He quickly returned to his carefree demeanor.
"It's nothing, nothing. We're all brothers! As long as you admit I'm better than you. If you still feel uneasy in your hearts, call me Second Brother from now on! Little Sir is the eldest, I dare not overstep! Hehehe..."
With these words, everyone rolled their eyes at him.
Give him an inch, and he'll take a mile.
Just then, Han Lang spoke again.
"Hey, hey, are you guys done chatting? I've been working hard here for a long time. Now that the formation is figured out, hurry up and set it up, otherwise I won't be able to hold on!"
Only then did everyone fully realize that Han Lang was still holding Dr. Sim in check.
Instantly, everyone sprang into action.
According to the formation's positions, they completely surrounded Dr. Sim.
Then, Shan Nan gave the order.
"Seven Star Absolute Position, Nine Li Divine Descent! Formation activate!"
With this shout, everyone formed hand seals, and a faint silver light flickered between them.
As the formation began, the spiritual energy within everyone was also rapidly drained.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared and took Spirit Replenishing Pills to ensure the formation's completion.
After consuming the two Spirit Replenishing Pills, everyone looked at the great formation about to form with full spirits.
"Buzz~" A booming sound.
With everyone's efforts, Dr. Sim was finally trapped within the Seven Absolute Nine Li Formation.
Then, everyone leaped and entered the formation.
Instantly, everyone felt a lightness in their bodies.
Because they were the eyes of the formation.
Therefore, within this formation, their movement speed, attack consumption, and martial skill power would all be enhanced.
Conversely, Dr. Sim, who was bound by the formation, would naturally have his strength weakened in all aspects.
"Everyone, don't let your guard down. Let's test the waters first and get used to the attack methods within the formation. After all, the opponent's strength has reached the Nascent Soul stage. Don't be too aggressive!"
Shan Nan loudly reminded everyone as soon as he entered the formation.
Everyone nodded seriously in response.
After comprehending the formation, they actually understood.
The formation merely combined their seven individuals' strengths and slightly enhanced them.
Dr. Sim's strength was comparable to the Nascent Soul stage. If they were not careful, they could still be exploited.
If any one of them were to face Dr. Sim head-on, the situation would still be very dangerous.
"Don't worry! Deputy Shan. We'll only engage in hit-and-run tactics, never fight prolonged battles!"
This was the plan proposed by Ma Long.
And it was also the plan in everyone's hearts at the moment.
The purpose of setting up the Seven Absolute Nine Li Formation was to deplete Dr. Sim to a greater extent.
When Shan Nan proposed this plan, he did not expect that using this formation would directly help them kill Dr. Sim.
Therefore, for everyone, as long as they ensured their own safety and tried their best to deplete Dr. Sim, thereby increasing their chances of completing the kill, it would be considered a great victory.
After all, Dr. Sim was now an XS-level esper who completely surpassed the Nascent Soul stage.
As he was thinking, Han Lang had already launched the first attack.
With the assistance of the Seven Absolute Nine Li Formation, the power of his golden needles became even greater.
The golden needles whistled and circled, their extreme speed making Dr. Sim unable to react.
Shan Nan did not hesitate either. His figure was like lightning, constantly flashing past Dr. Sim's side, each time launching the strongest possible move against him.
Liu Xiaoxiao perfectly cooperated with Shan Nan. As soon as his attack landed, she would follow up. Her goal was to not give Dr. Sim any chance to breathe.
Tang Qin, Tang Geng, Zhao Wu, and Ma Long also unleashed their strongest moves.
But without exception, they all knew when to retreat, giving Dr. Sim no opportunity to counterattack.
Dr. Sim also felt the presence of the formation.
At least before this, although Han Lang and Shan Nan could attack him, Ma Long and the others could not.
As long as they entered Dr. Sim's attack range, they would be met with his full counterattack.
Not only was it dangerous, but it was also completely ineffective.
But now, not only were they participating in the battle, but they were also attacking him one after another, making Dr. Sim like a headless fly, unable to grasp the focus.
Dr. Sim was also somewhat annoyed.
He did not expect that with his strength, which was almost at the Nascent Soul realm, he would still be entangled by a few Golden Core stage youngsters and be unable to fight back.
Whenever he tried to pursue one of Han Lang's group, they would disappear like ghosts.
At the same time, another person would take this opportunity to launch a new offensive against him.
This made him feel as if all his strength was hitting a sponge; not only was it useless, but it also tired him half to death.
In his rage, he couldn't help but roar.
"Your Chinese ancient culture is truly profound. Even in this situation, you can find a chance to fight me to a draw!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Nan couldn't help but snort coldly.
"It's good that you know we're formidable! What our China possesses is more than just these basic cultures. Even if you are an XS-level esper, so what? We have ways to deal with you!"
Dr. Sim laughed heartily upon hearing this.
"Bragging is also something your Chinese people are better at! Today, I will show you that in the face of absolute strength, any flashy, amateurish methods are just vulnerable paper tigers!"
