At the same time, the beautiful girl holding the giant sword, Kang Luoying, standing beneath Shen Qiang, couldn't help but have a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes as she gazed at him.

"Zuo Lianghao's formation speed is incredibly fast. In just 0.3 seconds, he's completed the Seven Stars Eight Diagrams Sword Formation, quicker than a blink of an eye. And he's a disciple of the Hidden Sword Villa, so mastering this formation is basic training for every disciple there. It's going to be very difficult for Brother Qiang to win this round."

And it wasn't just her who was anxious.

The poised and elegant Qian Shanxue, with her strikingly beautiful face, also furrowed her brows slightly, watching Shen Qiang in mid-air with a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Ah... this stubborn yet adorable man really leaves me helpless. The Seven Stars Eight Diagrams Sword Formation is the Hidden Sword Villa's signature technique. Competing with Zuo Lianghao on this is indeed very difficult; after all, Zuo Lianghao is a genius of the Hidden Sword Villa, probably having used this formation over ten thousand times. How could you possibly win?"

At this moment, seeing Kang Luoying's worried eyes, a sense of pleasure rose in Zuo Lianghao's heart inexplicably. He laughed coldly and arrogantly at Shen Qiang, saying, "Give up, Shen Qiang. In terms of formation speed, no one can beat me in this world because I've been honing this skill for twenty years!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang slightly furrowed his brows.

Because Shen Qiang understood this.

In fact, whether autonomous consciousness or response to stimuli requires a certain amount of reaction time.

There is always a process between encountering stimuli and responding.

Limited by physiological and psychological factors, humans typically have a standard reaction time of 0.15 to 0.5 seconds when faced with anything.

Some top athletes can shorten this reaction time through professional training.

But usually, this speed does not drop below 0.1 seconds.

For example, Liu Xiang, who won the world championship, allegedly has a reaction time of an astonishing 0.139 seconds.

But that's just the reaction time under reflex action.

To set up a sword formation requires more than just reaction time.

The time needed for complex responses usually ranges from 1 to 3 seconds, and for complicated judgments and cognition, from 3 to 5 seconds.

This is why a sudden sentence during a conversation can cause someone to freeze, as both the brain and body require reaction time.

Moreover, using True Yuan to set up a sword formation involves nerve transmission speed.

There is a high hereditary factor in this.

Thus, some are fast and some are slow. Apart from heredity, nerve transmission speed correlates with age.

The older you are, the slower the reaction speed.

Unless repeated training forms instinctive reflexes, older adults' reaction speeds will never match young people in equal conditions, which is something none can change.

Moreover.

Importantly, nerve transmission speed has limits.

Sometimes when someone throws something at you, even if you see it clearly and reach out to catch it, you fail.

This is because nerve transmission normally occurs at speeds of 5 to 120 meters per second.

If you're 1.85 meters tall with an 85-centimeter arm, even with the best nerve transmission speed, it takes nearly one twenty-second second to react. If your nerve transmission speed is average, adding in visual and brain delays, muscle contraction, arm movement, etc.,

that's why you couldn't catch what you saw clearly, and it hit your face instead.

Yet cultivators have a natural advantage through cultivation exercises.

Their reaction times are much faster than ordinary people's.

But even so, completing the Seven Stars Eight Diagrams Sword Formation in 0.31 seconds remains outrageously fast.

Because normally, a single blink already takes 0.2 to 0.4 seconds. In the time an ordinary person blinks, Zuo Lianghao completes the Seven Stars Eight Diagrams Sword Formation, from thought to action!

This made Shen Qiang feel uncertain, although theoretically, the synchronized flying knife should be faster than Zuo Lianghao's formation through a magical treasure as a medium.

Unfortunately, Shen Qiang hadn't managed to test it after refining his personal space, so he wasn't sure if he could win.

At this moment, Zuo Lianghao arrogantly said to Shen Qiang, "Shen Qiang, my twenty years of hard cultivation can't be matched by someone like you. So quickly admit defeat. With thoughts of pursuing Kang Luoying, you're simply a toad wishing to eat swan meat. You might as well cut off one of your arms and silently bless me and Luoying with many children, since after defeating you, she'll be with me day after day for three years. It's inevitable for her to fall in love with me."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows sharply, "Shut up! Not even the Heavenly King could touch my woman."

Zuo Lianghao's gaze was disdainful.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast, Zuo Lianghao's fans were still clamoring.

"Tsk, Shen Qiang won't shed tears until he sees the coffin. His words may sound manly, but he'll only serve as a stepping stone for my dear Hao Bao."

"Exactly, 0.31-second formation with that godlike hand speed, who dares to challenge? For ordinary cultivators, completing this sword formation in 3.1 seconds is already considered genius."

"Wow, of course, single for twenty years gives you such arm strength. Hao Bao, go for it!"

At the same time, a slightly overweight elder said to Shen Qiang in mid-air, "Mr. Shen, if you're ready, you may begin. Our cameras have started millisecond timing and scattered some powder reacting with True Yuan in the air, ensuring no errors upon playback."

Hearing this, Zuo Lianghao smiled, looking at Shen Qiang with arrogance and contempt, "Trash, since you don't fear embarrassment, go ahead. Anyone who can beat my formation speed doesn't exist!"

As he finished speaking.

Shen Qiang inhaled deeply, his True Yuan moving.

In an instant.

The synchronized flying knife instantly completed the Seven Stars Eight Diagrams Sword Formation behind Shen Qiang.

"So fast! I didn't see it clearly!" Zuo Lianghao was shocked after boasting.

At the same time, everyone present was stunned.

"It's too fast; I couldn't see it clearly."

"Unbelievably fast!"

Then, the slightly overweight elder replayed the footage, unable to see clearly even after repeatedly slowing down the playback. After confirming the instant Shen Qiang's True Yuan started vibrating and the sword formation was completed.

Zuo Lianghao's handsome face turned pale.

The strikingly beautiful Qian Shanxue not only had a sparkle in her eyes, but a subtle blush appeared on her lovely face as she looked at Shen Qiang with admiration, excitement, and expectation, her mouth gently trembling like cherry blossoms opening, acclaiming with a shaking voice.

"Genius! Shen Qiang, you truly are a king among men! Completing this perfect Seven Stars Eight Diagrams Sword Formation in just 0.1 seconds!"
