Chapter 322: Nine Discs Competing for Supremacy

"Of course, if it's just the function of breaking formations, it wouldn't make me and my colleagues at the Formation Strategy Hall excited."

Just as the students were excitedly staring at the Dissipation Disc, discussing animatedly, Ji Hongdao continued.

"The strength of the Dissipation Disc lies in its growth potential."

After saying this sentence, Ji Hongdao deliberately paused, waiting for the students' reactions.

As expected, as soon as this statement came out, there was an immediate uproar.

As everyone knew, in the cultivation world, once a magical treasure was related to growth, its value would increase tenfold, even a hundredfold.

Originally, as a secondary body of the Tianxuan Mirror, the Dissipation Disc with its formation-breaking function was already very precious.

If it also had growth potential, its value would be immeasurable!

The students stared eagerly at Ji Hongdao, waiting for his explanation.

Seeing that everyone was hanging on to his every word, Ji Hongdao decided not to keep them in suspense and said, "We Formation Masters all have a dream in our hearts, to create our own perfect formation. The Dissipation Disc can help us achieve that."

"After breaking a formation, the Dissipation Disc will absorb and store the formation data within itself."

"Based on our research and observations, afterward, the Dissipation Disc will spontaneously extrapolate the absorbed formation data, attempting to repair the loopholes used in the previous formation-breaking process."

"When the flaws are repaired, a completely new formation is born."

"Subsequently, the Dissipation Disc will attempt to break this new formation again."

"Break - Repair - Break Again."

"Ordinarily, it takes several years, or even a dozen years, for an average Formation Master to iterate a formation once."

"With the Dissipation Disc, multiple iterations can be achieved in just one year."

"Of course, the efficiency depends on the difficulty of the formation being broken."

"If it's a formation like the Tianxuan Soul-Locking Array, the efficiency of iterations will naturally be slower."

"However, even so, the Dissipation Disc's efficiency is higher than that of all of us combined."

Ji Hongdao praised, showing no trace of dissatisfaction at being surpassed by a magical treasure.

Unable to resist, he caressed the treasure in his hand and continued, "The more formation data the Dissipation Disc absorbs, the stronger its breaking ability becomes. Similarly, its extrapolation and iteration abilities become even more powerful."

"It's truly unimaginable how far they will grow in the future."

"It is said that our precious Tianxuan Mirror, in the beginning, was just an ordinary mirror."

"It was only after witnessing the transmission of immortal techniques and gaining self-awareness that it gradually evolved into the miraculous state it is in now over thousands of years."

"So, who knows, in your hands, whether the Dissipation Disc will evolve into a second Tianxuan Mirror?"

As soon as this statement was made, all the students held their breath.

There was no way around it. Everyone affiliated with the Wanxian Alliance knew the strength and preciousness of the Tianxuan Mirror. Thinking that in the future, they might have a treasure comparable to the Tianxuan Mirror, the breath of everyone became rapid after a moment.

"Teacher Ji, don't tease us. Quickly announce the results!"

Speaking was a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Qi Chengcheng. In the previous assessments, he excelled in every category.

Confident in his own achievements, he believed that out of these nine Dissipation Discs, one must be his.

That's why he couldn't wait to urge the announcement.

Li Fan, on the other hand, savored Ji Hongdao's words, feeling a different kind of taste.

Indeed, the Dissipation Disc was an extraordinary treasure.

If Ji Hongdao didn't exaggerate, it was basically what Zhang Zhiliang had been expecting—a perfect lower-grade substitute for the Tianxuan Mirror and the core of infinite formations.

Li Fan admitted that he was tempted.

However, Ji Hongdao's provocative promotion was somewhat suspicious.

If he had said such things at the beginning of the training as motivation, it would be understandable.

But now that the final assessment had ended, the results were already determined. According to reason, the ownership of the nine Dissipation Discs had already been decided. For Ji Hongdao to say such provocative words at this time, what was his intention?

"Even the phrase 'who knows if it will become a second Tianxuan Mirror' has been brought out."

If Li Fan hadn't known early on that the Tianxuan Mirror was likely related to the precious Xuantian Treasure Mirror from ancient times, belonging to the Xuantian Sect, he would almost believe Ji Hongdao's nonsense.

And just as Li Fan expected, after a faint smile, Ji Hongdao was at his wit's end.

With a light wave, a golden light list appeared in the sky at his command.

On the golden list, from top to bottom, ranked according to performance, were the names of everyone present.

And the top nine emitted a faint purple-golden brilliance, making them extremely conspicuous.

As the golden list unfolded, Ji Hongdao said, "There was a promise made before that these nine Dissipation Discs would be awarded as prizes to the top performers in this assessment."

"This matter was personally decided by the Formation Strategy Hall's headquarters and will naturally not be reneged on."

"However..."

"Things have changed."

Speaking up to here, a trace of helplessness appeared on Ji Hongdao's face.

The people looked at each other, feeling an ominous feeling rising in their hearts.

"At first, there were indeed nine Dissipation Discs. Even now, the number remains the same. But, just yesterday, we suddenly discovered that among these nine Dissipation Discs, eight of them dimmed slightly."

"While the other one increased in radiance and became even stronger."

"Although the extent of this change is extremely subtle, we still noticed it."

"Secondary bodies of the Tianxuan Mirror often have hidden characteristics unknown to others, only manifesting at specific times. So, we couldn't perceive the true mystery of these Dissipation Discs before..."

"In this matter, we did make a mistake."

Ji Hongdao sighed, his old face blushing.

The students, however, could tell the meaning behind Ji Hongdao's words.

"Teacher Ji, are you saying that these nine Dissipation Discs will devour each other?"

Qi Chengcheng couldn't help but ask.

Ji Hongdao nodded, "After noticing the changes, after careful study, we found that these seemingly nine Dissipation Discs are actually one entity."

"Whenever one's 'Dissipation' ability becomes stronger, it will seize the essence from the other entities, strengthening itself."

"And the weaker ones, if they stay in place without catching up, will be continuously drained of their own essence, becoming weaker and weaker. Eventually, they'll disappear."

"This is what we call 'the stronger becomes stronger, and the weaker becomes weaker.'"

"In the end, in the continuous competition among the nine Dissipation Discs, only one will survive."

"And it will be the true Dissipation Disc."
