The Mech Touch

Chapter 6669 Dangerous Legacy Qi Cultivation Method

When Melkor looked for qi cultivation methods that he could use to complement his existing job as a mech commander, he sought for an alternative that did not have the intellectual requirements of a formation master.

This was the main reason why he was still reluctant to commit to this path.

While he had already exchanged a hefty sum of merits to gain access to the manual of the Combat Spell Array Master Cultivation Method, he became intimidated by the fact that he still could not escape the necessity of spending lots of time on book learning if he wanted to reach the advanced stages.

The further he progressed as a formation master, the more essential higher math and comprehension became!

If he did not make enough progress in these essential areas, his qi cultivation would eventually hit a bottleneck and slow his growth to a crawl.

Another disadvantage related to becoming a formation master was that it required a lot of setup in order to produce results.

Melkor had an advantage in this aspect because he could command his subordinates to place the formation anchors at the coordinates he specified.

He did not even have to enter the battlefield in person in order to make it happen!

It would be even better if he was present. A spell array master specialized in controlling active qi formations.

Letting a spell array run by itself was like letting an autonomous battle bot fight. The bot could only follow its own programming and was not able to make flexible and unpredictable decisions.

A spell array controlled by a formation master that knew his business belonged in a different category.
