Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1200 - 12: The Undeniable Advantage Is Mine (Part 2)
Just like the feel of a weapon, only you can tell if it’s right; talking to others about it is pointless.
When Wei Bao’s massive body collapsed once more, Wei Liuyun still did not realize his tactical error. In his eyes, Wang Yunxiao was also at his limit, teetering on the edge of collapse.
No matter how skilled Blood Slaughter was, he was just one person. Without anyone to share the damage, he took all attacks head-on.
No matter how formidable you are alone, how long can you hold out by yourself?
Sensing Wang Yunxiao’s weakening momentum, Wei Liuyun commanded the top fighters from various classes to press forward in order, repeatedly advising them not to rush to succeed or seek battle results, just deplete the opponent’s stamina; victory would surely belong to them eventually.
Wang Yunxiao fought and retreated, swinging his long spear fiercely as he battled with senior students from the sky to the seafloor, leaving chaos in his wake.
This time, he refrained from using the meteor crash technique from the previous round against Wei Liuyun, giving Wei Liuyun a brief respite.
"Ma Zhiqiu!"
"No, I really can’t anymore."
In the first round, Ma Zhiqiu made the greatest sacrifice; using the Dream Wanderer’s divine skills, he forcefully held Wang Yunxiao during his peak, but at the cost of being pierced by the long spear and nearly bleeding out.
Standing up to speak was already a miracle; expecting him to hold the line again was impossible.
Wei Liuyun had no choice but to send out Gao Lingfeng once more.
But the effect remained unimpressive.
Heavenly Armor Book’s divine skill operates like a first-glance kill mechanism, requiring long preparation time, but once executed, it can decide victory.
Gao Lingfeng couldn’t understand why, after Wang Yunxiao was clearly hit by the Heavenly Armor Book, he could bounce back again after some time.
This was akin to a dissected rabbit suddenly jumping up from the lab table and doing Tai Chi Boxing. What was the difference?
How could you learn seven unrelated subjects so quickly?
Do you think this is an international joke?
"Wei Liuyun, are you sure this guy only practices Government Army and Heretical Path?"
"How should I know for sure?"
This fight wasn’t arranged by me; do I know what he has...
Wei Liuyun’s face slightly changed, reminded by Gao Lingfeng, he suddenly realized what he had overlooked.
What if Wang Yunxiao practiced more than two Dharma Gates?
For ordinary people, practicing Twelve Laws might be beyond their talent, but for Naval Academy geniuses, dual practice isn’t particularly troublesome.
But if there was someone capable of practicing a third gate?
Is it possible?
If possible, what would they be practicing?
"Do you know which Dharma Gate restrains Witch Doctor?"
"How would I know?"
Witch Doctor cultivators are already rare, unlike common Government Army types. Gao Lingfeng has yet to meet, let alone heard of, a second Witchcraft Boy.
You’re asking me which divine skill can counteract the Heavenly Armor Book?
I have no idea!
Gao Lingfeng didn’t know the answer, but Wei Liuyun, as a School Official, possessed far more information than the average person, and quickly reviewed relevant data in his mind, reaching a conclusion he himself found hard to believe.
"Scholar!"
"Scholar?"
Gao Lingfeng was incredulous: "Why would a Scholar restrain Witch Doctor?"
"Because... Laozi didn’t speak of supernatural phenomena!"
This was the only answer Wei Liuyun could conclude after scouring information on the Twelve Laws.
Righteous Scholar Path focuses on rituals, Scholarly Heresy Path on rules.
Rules are metrics. Scholarly Heresy advances to Ink Guest, promoting Mohist thought, advocating the measurable heavens and earth, the mortal world establishing rules; as long as everyone abides by them and adheres to metrics, peace and prosperity can be achieved.
Scholarly Heresy’s three divine skills, social deconstruction, imaginary blueprint, humanity analysis, fundamentally study metrics, which could further imply control over spatial distances.
Among them, the Imaginary Blueprint divine skill constructs a perfect template in imagination, then self-regulates based on that standard.
Facing the sudden influx of those professional knowledges into one’s brain, one can boldly declare: "I won’t learn! I won’t study!"
Perhaps this explains another academic name for Scholarly Heresy advancing to Ink Guest as "Dropout."
After considering Wang Yunxiao possibly multi-practicing Scholarly Heresy Dharma Gate, Wei Liuyun wasted no time marveling at this terrifying individual but swiftly incorporated this extra factor into his tactical thought.
What strategy would an heretical scholar choose under these circumstances?
Watching Gao Lingfeng jump into Nuo Dance once again, clashing fiercely with Wang Yunxiao with intense weapon exchanges, shattering the coral beneath them, Wei Liuyun’s eyes shone as he suddenly recalled an overlooked factor.
Venue!
The chosen venue, located centrally in Shattered Star Sea, at the reef cluster formed by moon debris falling into the sea, with fierce winds and high waves, severely affecting large-scale cooperation by upperclassmen.
Yet before the battle, this disadvantage was tacitly acknowledged by the upperclassmen.
Fancy a vast plain? Want some girls and a chilled bottle of red wine too?
The opponent is just one; how about a bit of geographical advantage?
But it seemed Wang Yunxiao wasn’t merely capturing this advantage; he was continuously expanding it.
With large reefs being shattered during exchanges, Wei Liuyun realized the space for his side’s maneuvering was rapidly shrinking.
Experts might fly around ignoring terrain, but for most ordinary students, this rugged terrain could easily limit their mobility—Government Soldiers are tough but don’t gain eagle eyes or monkey agility through array formation.
The Navy previously relied on Heavenly Armor for troop mobility, but now most were unarmed, let alone equipped.
Once all reefs are smashed, most would lose footing, crumbling any perfect formation.
Furthermore... wait, equipment? Logistics?
Wei Liuyun belatedly realized something, abruptly turning to his classmates around him.
"Monkey, what did you eat last night?"
"Eat? I don’t remember... Oh right, the cafeteria served braised chicken legs, stir-fried pork, and seaweed salad..."
"Are you hungry now?"
"Not really... but now that you mention it, maybe a little..."
How could exertion not lead to hunger? Did you think Government Soldier cultivation involves mist and dew meals?
Wei Liuyun’s expression drastically changed.
Government Soldier formations distribute damage, not negate it; consumption is real.
It won’t show issues now, but dragging on for long, they might genuinely struggle to hold!
"Wei Bao! Xia Chengyuan! Ma Zhiqiu! Gao Lingfeng... don’t drag anymore, act seriously now and eliminate him!"
"Ah?"
"What nonsense are you saying?"
Everyone Wei Liuyun named was confused.
Weren’t we being serious? How else could you want us to act seriously?
Do we think like poker gods, hiding cards in our back ends?
"Don’t drag on, we’ll lose if this drags!"
Wei Liuyun loudly urged: "Everyone together! Attack him with all your might!"
This moment isn’t about Jianghu World rules or tactics; none of that matters. Wei Liuyun realized if he didn’t go all-in now, they’d have no chance.
Yet does going all-in guarantee victory?
Sensing agitation in the opponent’s formation, Wang Yunxiao swung his long spear sideways to deflect Gao Lingfeng’s spear without hesitation, then turned and ran.
