"Well, that's true..."
"Add some Formation variations?"
"I don't think that's a good idea..." said one Elder. "We're all old-timers here. We've been studying for years, seen so much, and dabbled in all kinds of Formation variations."
"Those disciples are different—they're just kids. They're not even a fraction as old as us, and they've only spent a few years tempering their Formation skills. At best, they might know one or two basic Formation styles. Testing on Formation variations would be too much for them."
"But the Sect has reformed, so we can't leave the Formation Competition entirely unchanged. Let's tweak it a little—just test one or two Formation variations."
"Anyway, this trial allows for mistakes. If they can't draw three formations, they're out; even if one or two can't be completed, it won't matter that much."
"I still think it's a bit too hard."
"You're overthinking it. Don't forget, this is the Qian Learning State Boundary—what we don't lack here is talent."
