Chapter 318 Wei Qing’s Teaching

After the combat meeting, everyone left one after another.

Yang Tiancheng and Lin Yi originally wanted to say something to Mu Yi, but when they found that Mu Yi was actually sitting obediently in his seat, they immediately understood that Wei Qing had other arrangements for Mu Yi. They smiled bitterly, said hello, and turned to leave.

Soon, Mu Yi and Wei Qing were the only ones left in the main tent.

"Do you understand?" Wei Qing asked for no reason.

"I don't understand! I just feel that there is a main thread running through all the arrangements!" Mu Yi knew what Wei Qing was referring to and answered honestly.

"Good, guess what the main plot is?"

Wei Qing stretched out his hand and tapped the sand table. His magical power of talking about war on paper was activated, and all the arrangements on the sand table began to move.

Mu Yi looked at the progress on the sand table, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"It's driving the tiger to devour the wolf!"

"That's not accurate enough. To be precise, it's alliances and coalitions!" Wei Qing smiled and pointed at the positions of humans, elves and other races.

"Everything in the mortal world is just a foundation for advancement. We have to muddy the waters and bring other gods into the picture, so that we can replace the orc pantheon. The gods will welcome us as their new friends!"

There was a smile on Wei Qing's face that Mu Yi couldn't understand.

"But we..." Mu Yi hesitated.

Even if others don't know, he must know that their ultimate plan is to deal with all the gods in all pantheons.

“You can’t tear down the bridge until you’ve crossed the river, right?”

Wei Qing's words made Mu Yi suddenly enlightened. Warfare is all about deception, and combining the real and the fake is a very important approach in military strategy.

"There is still plenty of time. Wu Anjun only built the foundation for you. I think you should still have a lot of questions to ask!"

Wei Qing waved his hand to remove the sand table and turned his gaze to Mu Yi. There was clearly no fluctuation of magical powers, but Mu Yi still felt as if he was seen through.

"I do have some doubts and would like to ask, what exactly is General Wei's elite talent? From what I have seen, whether it is the heavenly soldiers, ghost soldiers, or the soldiers in your camp, they all have two kinds of elite talents!"

Mu Yi pondered and raised his doubts.

"Why do you all agree to this? Logically, you should allow your soldiers to have multiple talents!"

This has been Mu Yi's long-standing doubt, especially after he was able to easily train soldiers with multiple talents, he had great doubts about this.

"Haha, so that's it!" Wei Qing nodded in understanding.

"What do you think elite talents are?"

Hearing Wei Qing's question, Mu Yi pondered for a moment and gave his answer.

"The key to extraordinary power!"

"That's right!" Wei Qing nodded.

"So do you think you have mastered the extraordinary power corresponding to the elite talent?"

Facing Wei Qing's question, Mu Yi was a little confused. He stretched out his hand, representing the power of iron-blooded killing spreading across his body. He wanted to say something, but when he thought of Bai Qi's demonstration, he fell silent again.

“Hehe, you are a special individual. You have several talents, but you haven’t used any of them to their full potential!” Wei Qing smiled and stretched out his hand.

"I see these powers in you..."

One could see that power was constantly flowing through Wei Qing's body, and one after another, the elite talents that Mu Yi was familiar with revealed their aura on Wei Qing's body.

Mu Yi looked at Wei Qing in a daze. He could sense the vanity of these elite talents, but they had at least exerted 120% of their strength, which was completely against common sense.

As Wei Qing's elite talents continued to rotate, some that Mu Yi was familiar with, some that he was unfamiliar with, and some that even surpassed hundreds of talents, they finally came down to a talent that Mu Yi was quite familiar with - decathlon.

"How do you feel?" Wei Qing asked, putting his hands away.

"You only used the decathlon from beginning to end?" Although it was clearly a question, Mu Yi's tone was quite firm.

"That's right. What do you think is the difference between my decathlon and your decathlon?" Wei Qing asked with a faint smile.

"Go deeper...but my decathlon should have reached its limit!"

Mu Yi frowned and looked at the decathlon on his comprehensive network panel. His level had indeed reached the maximum level.

"One leaf blinds you!" Wei Qing shook his head.

"But it's not your fault. The art of military science itself needs to be passed down orally. The classics are only used to lay the foundation. If you want to go further, you must either inherit it from others or comprehend it yourself!"

Wei Qing sighed. This was also a major drawback of the military strategy because there was no real integration.

It is therefore impossible to summarize and select a comprehensive foundation from the inheritance, which results in the inability to have a clear main line like Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

Except for the most basic things that can be unified, the rest are basically contradictory, but they are all paths to becoming a military god, and you can't say that there is something wrong with other people's paths, even if the other party's path is obviously heresy in your eyes.

If an argument breaks out and ends up with fists flying, after all, military strategists believe that fists are more important than theories, and this will make it impossible for the talks to continue.

"Sun Wu asked all of us to teach him... Could it be..." Wei Qing suddenly thought of Sun Wu. Was he taking advantage of the opportunity to reward Mu Yi to extract the common characteristics of many military gods?

Wei Qing nodded thoughtfully.

If this is the case, Jiang Shang, Sun Wu and others are actually planning something extraordinary.

However, aren’t they afraid that Mu Yi will be overwhelmed by these theories and eventually become a schizophrenic lunatic?

But thinking of Mu Yi's uniqueness, Wei Qing also became interested.

"What do you think is the difference between basic talents and elite talents?"

After guessing some plans, Wei Qing decided to go with the flow. His originally casual attitude became serious at this moment. He wanted to instill all his ideas into Mu Yi.

He wanted to see what would be left of his theory on Mu Yi after he had the upper hand.

"One active and the other passive?" Mu Yi said after pondering for a moment.

"Yes and no. Just like the decathlon, can you say he is active or passive?" After organizing his thoughts, Wei Qing began to talk.

"The so-called elite talents are actually the combined manifestation of essence, energy and spirit, while the so-called basic talents are actually the essence of directly improving essence, energy and spirit!"

"Now let me ask you, your elite talent has reached its limit. Is it because the elite talent itself has reached its limit, or is it because your spirit and energy have reached their limit?"

"My own energy has reached its limit..." Mu Yi understood a little. The reason is simple, you can't chew too much.

He did master many elite talents, but up to now, it can even be said that he has not mastered even one elite talent.

Because there are too many and too diverse elite talents in his body, these talents are manifestations of his spirit, energy and spirit. When several talents manifest at the same time, it is naturally impossible to reach the limit.

"So the combination of talents is actually the most suitable path?" Mu Yi suddenly realized.

"No, no, people cannot be generalized!" Wei Qing shook his head.

"There is no most suitable path. It requires individual exploration. Everyone has different heights, weights, personalities, and talents, so the paths they take are naturally different!"

"But shouldn't the army be united?" Mu Yi was confused.

"Is your army marching in a line on a single-plank bridge?" Wei Qing said unhappily.

“The army is moving towards unity, but it cannot be equal to one. Everyone’s path is different, but the main trunk of the path can be the same!”

"The ideal state for a soldier is to have three talents, corresponding to the spirit, energy and spirit respectively. Finally, the three are organically unified together to achieve a state of fusion of spirit, energy and spirit. This will make them several times stronger!"

Mu Yi suddenly realized and finally understood everything. He had been doing the opposite of what he should do in terms of improving his soldiers.

Elite talent is the key to mastering extraordinary power, that is, mastering the essence, energy and spirit. It is the manifestation of power, not the real power.

No matter how many elite talents you have, if your spirit is not strong enough, someone can still kill you with one punch.

Elite talents are just amplifiers; what really matters is the spirit.

At this time, Mu Yi thought of the fact that Guan Linglong provided more cloud energy after riding the animal path. It was precisely because of the sharing of qualities that the most essential spirit and energy were improved, which increased the cloud energy.

"Now, what do you think we should do after the elite talents have reached their limits?" Wei Qing looked at Mu Yi with a faint smile. He knew that Mu Yi already understood.

"Transform the elite talents into the structure of the spirit itself, and rebuild the elite talents!"

"That's right, everyone calls this method differently, I call it smelting!"

Wei Qing showed a gratified expression that this young boy was teachable.

"The improvement of elite talents has an upper limit, but the improvement of spirit has no upper limit!"

"After refining your talents, your spirit will grow stronger, and the elite talents you reconstruct will naturally become stronger. Moreover, they will resonate with each other and produce a more powerful effect!"

"Every time I reconstruct it, I call it a level of smelting. The improvement each time is also very obvious, about 50 to 60 percent. Everyone's adaptability is different, and the effect is also different!"

Mu Yi was a little dazed, he felt as if he had grasped something.

"Which is stronger, constantly refining a talent to its limit or constantly refining new talents?"

"The former gets stronger the further he goes, while the latter gets stronger the more he refines! However, the further back you go, the harder it gets, and the more you refine, the harder it gets! The former is specialized and can only adapt to a limited environment, while the latter can adapt to a variety of environments by learning from many others, but is not outstanding in a single area."

Wei Qing did not say who was strong or weak, but pointed out the shortcomings of both sides.

"So you developed the decathlon so that you can push your specialization to its limits while also being able to handle a variety of environments?"

"Originally, I wanted to refine the decathlon to a certain level so that I could use it to imitate other talents, but I failed."

Wei Qing sighed. His original idea was to directly copy the other elite talents of the triple smelting decathlon from the double smelting, so that the final result would be 3+2+2...

In this way, the power increased almost at the speed of light.

But it failed. The triple smelting decathlon could indeed imitate and copy the talents of other smeltings, but in the end it could not be directly smelted onto the decathlon.

In the end it is still 3+1. Although this 1 can be continuously changed and has a certain promoting effect on smelting, it is still different from Wei Qing’s original idea.

"The soldiers under your command may seem to be elite and have many talents, but in fact, none of their talents have been brought to the limit!"

"How many times can the smelting be carried out at most?" Mu Yi asked after pondering.

"The soldier under my command who has been smelted the most times is the fifth-level decathlon and the fourth-level will transcendence! His strength may not be weaker than yours!" Wei Qing looked at Mu Yi himself and said with a smile.

"You have also discovered that under the cloud, the elite talents will be stronger than other abilities. Under the cloud, the ninth level of smelting can kill you!"

Mu Yi finally understood the essence of elite talent. He said that based on his practical experience, it has always been difficult to imagine how to kill a god.

It turned out that it was because he was a half-baked soldier and had not found the correct method at all.

"He can reach the legendary level directly through training... The God of War is really terrifying!" Mu Yi felt the pain in his teeth.

"Any other questions?" Wei Qing looked at Mu Yi and gave Mu Yi time to digest them.

"Are willpower talents more difficult to train and refine than other talents?"

"Yes and no!" Wei Qing gave an ambiguous answer.

"In most cases, we will choose elite talents of the spirit type for initial smelting, because this is the easiest to cultivate and can form combat effectiveness and scale in a timely manner!"

"But in fact, willpower talents are the easiest to train. All you need to do is exert your willpower. So in most cases, we will only choose to fill in willpower talents when your qualities have reached their limit!"

"However, facing an enemy with quality talents, willpower talents will be very useful, and we will also conduct targeted training!"

"So...willpower talents are actually used for internal fighting?" Mu Yi covered his face helplessly.

Wei Qing also had an embarrassed look on his face, which was also the most annoying thing for a military strategist.

The military strategist’s stage is the battlefield, and who are the active people on the battlefield?

Who else could it be except another group of military strategists?

Therefore, most of the current research conducted by military strategists is not about how to deal with other people, but about how to deal with another group of military strategists.

It can even be said that the military strategist was built up by the corpses of a steady stream of military strategists.

"By the way, I want to remind you that the difficulty of training soldiers from scratch and directly gathering strong soldiers together for training is different!" Wei Qing coughed and changed the subject.

"The most important thing for an army is the unity of will. It is easy to inspire the will of ordinary soldiers, but it is very difficult to inspire the will of the strong!"

"But we can't say that this is not a method. The difference between the two should be that training from scratch is easy at first and difficult later, while training strong soldiers together is difficult at first and easy later, and in the end they can all reach the same level."

"But the success rate of the former is more than ten times that of the latter!"
