Chapter 288: Everyone Loves It

"How long does it take for you to draw a formation?" Yun Tai asked.
"It's not the same. If I work too quickly, the elements won't have time to convert properly. It's like putting all the elements together and then blending them at high speed. If two opposing elements are in close proximity, it can easily cause an explosion," a classmate countered. In his opinion, Yun Tai, who knew nothing about formations, was making unfounded assumptions. Are turning paper plates and drawing magic formations comparable things?
"This is definitely different. If you consider an element as an individual, then no matter how many elements you put in, no matter how they rotate, the individual element itself will not change. However, in a transformation matrix, when an element has not completely transformed into another attribute element, both kinds of elements exist simultaneously in this individual, don't you agree?"
Many students nodded.
“所以当它没有转换完全的时候转到第二个阵纹进行转换，那么就会是三种属性共存于一个元素，如果是五大元素的话这么一圈一下来，就会变成五种属性共存于一个元素的状态。这样的魔法元素该叫什么元素？”云苔转头问道。
“半饱和魔法元素。”火邈回答道。
这种情况在炼丹的时候是最常见的。炼丹的过程就是要将不同药材的药效和魔法元素融合在以前。所谓的融合不就是你中有我，我中有你。但是五大魔法属性共存一个元素单位，这也是火邈没有遇见过或是想象过的。
However, elemental attributes also have a restraining effect, and there is also a process of consumption in attribute restraint.
"You're right, why didn't I think of that?" Teacher Elliot clenched his left fist and struck the palm of his right hand. "It's the restraint between attributes. If we reverse the magical pattern, the magical elements will undergo internal consumption and turn into neutral elements, right?"
“老师，哪有那么简单啊。”教室里的学生们苦笑道。他们学习阵法至今还真就从来都没有听说过逆转阵纹。因为属性相克的两种魔法元素一碰就会爆炸啊，这已经不是怕不怕死的问题，而是从理论上来说这样的阵纹就不可能成形。而且让人郁闷的是，要把其中的复杂性跟几个不懂阵法的人解释清楚，还真有些无从讲起的感觉。
“阵法师存在的意义不就是要把我们想要的效果通过魔法阵来实现吗？你们研究过程，我们只要结果，各取所需。就这么说定了。救人如救火，请尽快。谢谢。”云苔干脆利落地挂了手机，看得旁边的三位频频摇头。
"What an attitude! This is too arrogant!"
"Exactly, she actually thinks of our place as an alchemy branch. She comes and goes as she pleases."
"If she's capable, she should draw that magic circle herself instead of relying on us."
Among the students of Lanyun, any one who stands out will be labeled as 'genius'. However, ever since Yuntai arrived, the first name that comes to mind when people talk about Lanyun Magic and Martial Arts Academy is 'Yuntai'. No matter how hard they study or how well they perform, Yuntai's brilliance overshadows them. If it were Bai Yixuan or Senior Yunyi instead, they might be a bit more willing, but Yuntai, who can't even meet the minimum admission requirements and will never be able to do so in this lifetime, has compared them with just a few words. How can these proud and talented individuals accept this so easily? That's why, except for the Alchemy and Pharmacist departments, there are not as many students within Lanyun Academy who recognize Yuntai as the outside world thinks. And this number increases exponentially with each grade. As for the students in the Alchemy and Pharmacist departments, they have too much coursework to do and not even enough time to sleep, let alone envy others.
Gong Mingjun got up slowly and said seriously to Gong Weiqi, "
Teacher, I answered my phone during class and it disturbed everyone's learning. I'm very sorry."
Yun Tai didn't even ask them to help design the magic formation. She's looking for the chief of their grade, Gong Mingjun!
Gong Weiqi was taken aback for a moment, waved his hand, and asked Gong Mingjun to sit down. Then he clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the students in the classroom, and said, "I believe everyone has already heard Yun Tai's request. We have all learned the magic formations for pairwise transformation, and I believe everyone has already mastered them proficiently. What we need to do now is to understand and be able to flexibly apply these formations. Today's homework is to design a magic formation that can transform the five major magic elements into a non-attribute element. Of course, if anyone can transform it into the light attribute, there will be extra rewards from the teacher."
Howling sounds filled the air.
"Teacher!" a dissatisfied voice rang out again.
Before Gong Wei Qi could respond, another student exclaimed, "Teacher, why only light attribute? That's unfair! Shouldn't the conversion of the five main attributes include non-main attributes as well?"
“非五大属性，那弄出一个延伸属性不要太容易哦。水转化成冰，这也算？”
教室里嗡嗡声四起。
宫维棋依然笑眯眯地：“下课。”然后双手往身后一背，哼着歌出了教室。
“那个，阵型设计好之后，怎么测试？”
一个并不响亮的声音导直接压灭了教室里嘈杂的议论声。宫维棋跨出教室门的一只脚也缩了回去。
‘测试’这个词在跟云苔这个名字相关联之后就变得非常之特殊，人人都爱它！即便是那些对云苔有看法，对她充满羡慕嫉妒恨的，在‘测试’这一块他们也会毫不犹豫地摒弃一切成见，积极争取成为‘第一名测试者’。
“既然是魔法元素的属性转化，那需要在旁边放置一个检测仪器就可以知道设计的阵法是否成功了吧……”
宫鸣钧有些奇怪于这么简单的问题他的同学怎么还会有疑问。这又不是从无到有设计一个全新的魔法阵，而是将两种魔法元素相互转换的阵法进行升级，这检测的方式和仪器自然一应俱全。
"Don't joke around, this is a matter of life and death, Yun Tai is going to use it to treat and save people. How can we use the traditional methods for testing? The formation we designed ourselves should not only be accountable to ourselves, but also to the patients!" The female student who was speaking even waved her fist excitedly.
"That's right!"
“That's correct!”
"I'm just saying we should wait until Yuntai is impressed by the magic array you guys drew." A girl glanced around with disdain.
"Isabelle, you're underestimating us too much. We've all learned about these magic array patterns. Yuntai has even told us the method. If we still can't draw the magic array she wants, then we wasted all these years studying arrays!" A boy protested unhappily.
“If it was really that simple, then such a formation should have long been widely known. How is it possible that we haven't even heard of it? Even if you haven't tried it, since the formation master profession has existed for thousands of years, with so many formation masters on the entire continent, how is it possible that no one has tried it?" Isa retorted.
Gong Mingjun slowly raises his hand, "I've tried before."
And the result, without even asking, is known.
"Teacher, can this assignment not be graded?" A few students who have realized immediately wail at Gong Weiqi, who only left his heels inside the classroom. They couldn't possibly draw a formation that even the chief failed at, could they?
Gong Mingjun has already begun comparing the flaws of his previous designed formations in his mind, and figuring out how to improve and increase the speed. How much improvement is needed in order to achieve the change from quantity to quality that Yuntai mentioned? Even if there are no rewards, he is prepared to try all possibilities. After all, he doesn't need to compete with other classmates for the practice room for formations designed for students. He has his own independent practice room, which is one of the benefits of being the top student. Translation:
短短半个月时，云苔请阵法分院的学生帮忙设计魔法阵的事情已经传遍了整个皇城。阵法分院立刻被包围了，有关系直接毛遂自荐要求当测试者，没有关系的也千方百计地找关系。阵法分院的师生们总算是有了一回当香饽饽的感受。
The only dissatisfaction comes from the students at the Alchemy College. They are also capable of drawing magic arrays, so why bother relying on the Rune College? It seems unnecessary.
However, this sweet taste didn't last long. Almost everyone got stuck in the process of converting speeds. Translated:
