Chapter 255: Space (1/2)
Alex looked at the coliseum arena being set. He then looked at the schedule handing in the air and was confused.
For the 8 AM schedule, there was going to be 4 different competition at once. Alchemy pill recognition, Artifact Material recognition, Talisman paper ingredients, Poisonous Material recognition.
'They are going to have 4 different competitions at once?' he thought in surprise. 'Yeah they are is quite large, but so are the number of people. If nearly 100 people take part in each competition, how are they going to manage it on the stage?' Alex wondered.
Suddenly, something weird happened on the ground below. The arena that was a bit larger than a football field suddenly grew to two times as large, without actually increasing in size at all.
”What?” Alex said in shock. A lot of other people throughout the audience were shocked a little too. Even Wan Li was shocked.
”What? You guys haven't seen it yet? Hehehe,” Fan Ruogang said with a smug smile. She had been here last year as well and had seen this happening before.
”Master, what is going on? Why does it look like everyone in the arena just shrunk down and the area doubled?” Alex asked.
”That's… thanks to a space formation employed by the Royal Fu academy,” Ma Rong said.
”Space… formation?” Alex said slowly trying to figure out what that meant. Before he could even come up with an answer, however, Ma Rong explained.
”They basically manipulate the space inside the arena to make it larger or smaller as required,” Ma Rong explained.
”Manipulating space…” Alex couldn't understand just how complicated this topic was. Space was something he couldn't imagine being able to interact with, let alone touch, and yet here it was in front of him.
'Damn, this game is something else,' he thought. Suddenly, he thought of something. He had seen space manipulation before. He had ignored it previously because it was a game, however, it seemed everything in the game was on purpose. So, maybe this one was too.
”Master, is this the same thing as what they do to storage bags?” Alex asked.
”Storage bags are a little different. The thing we see in front of us is people using a formation to manipulate space to stretch and shrink it was required. However, in a storage bag, it's actually a part of space ripped directly from our world and put into the storage bags,” Ma Rong said.
”What? People can rip space apart?” Alex asked in shock.
”Haha, no. Maybe people can, but not when making storage bags. They instead use a special formation passed throughout the ages to drag the space into a premade bag. Of course, the bag has to be made out of special materials to be able to handle space being put inside it, but I do not know how they do it,” Ma Rong said.
”It's a heavily guarded secret amongst the Granite Forest sect and the Southern Sanctuary sect. We don't know exactly what is used to make the storage bags. But we can guess that it's probably not very expensive given how cheap storage bags are,” the Second Elder said from the side.
