Shangyuque

Chapter 10 On the combination of expectation management and combat practice

Wang Rongyuan's earth escape technique may seem crude, but it is full of details, details that even many sect disciples may not understand.

The first secret rule of Wang family fighting skills - run first!
Running away first may seem cowardly, but it is actually a wise move.

If the opponent is strong, you can run away if you can't beat him. You can seize the speed advantage in advance, and the probability of successfully escaping will be greatly increased.

When the two sides are evenly matched, running first can show the enemy that you are weak. By showing weakness and then suddenly turning back to attack, you can seize the initiative.

If you are significantly ahead in strength, you can run first to see if there are other opponents hiding in the dark.

If the lurker who was waiting for the right opportunity sees you running away, he will most likely show up and chase you. Wouldn't this help you avoid a fatal accident?
If there is no stalker, running two steps first will not affect your ability to catch up with the unlucky guy on the opposite side.

In short, running first is a decision that has more benefits than risks no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, this strategy was promoted to the first rule of the fighting secrets.

But if Yulou were to come, with his modern way of thinking, he would be able to see more of the underlying logic.

For example, running away first and showing weakness to the enemy is actually a special form of expectation management.

In the modern workplace and life, managing expectations of oneself and others is an extremely profound and complex science, even a biblical existence in workplace struggles.

However, applying the logic of expectation management to the strategy of running first is actually also applicable.

Running first and showing weakness to the enemy is a way to manage the enemy's expectations!
The cultivator from Miaofeng Mountain who shouted "You're in the middle stage of Qi Refining and you still want to escape" was obviously successfully managed by Wang Rongyuan.

It is difficult to anticipate the enemy's actions, because in an occasional encounter, you cannot predict the enemy's strategies and special means in advance.

You don’t know anything, how can you anticipate the enemy?

But by actively guiding the enemy and mobilizing their behavior through autonomous and controllable actions, you can guess what the enemy’s next move will be based on the expectations you have guided.

This is the practical application of expectation management in fighting - through proper expectation management, you can anticipate the enemy!

Half a step ahead is also ahead!

Immortal cultivators have very fast reactions and speed, and being half a step ahead could mean the difference between life and death!
When the three Tribulation Cultivators saw Wang Rongyuan, who was in the middle stage of Qi training, burrowing into the ground, they quickly surrounded him and used various methods to search for Wang Rongyuan's trace.

Wang Rongyuan in the underground first took a spiritual elixir - one against three, and he took the blue pill before the fight started. This is the difference between having a family inheritance and not having a family inheritance!

Then, he mobilized the wooden puppet that he had deployed when he fell from the sky to the ground, and exposed it in the direction opposite to his position.

Run first, lure the enemy into the trap, and then use the wooden puppet to expose the flaw!

"There! Stop him quickly, don't let him run away!"

The cultivator from Miaofeng Mountain who had achieved great perfection in Qi training was the first to notice the existence of the wooden puppet. He pointed in the direction of the wooden puppet and gave a hint to his two companions.

The three of them flew quickly towards the wooden puppet.

Because of the difference in cultivation level and the difference in the initial entry angle, the formation of the three people flying in the air naturally formed a situation where the cultivator from Miaofeng Mountain was in the front, the cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining was in the middle, and the cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining was at the end.

The perfect opportunity to take action had just appeared. How could Wang Rongyuan let it go?
"careful!"

Two thick wooden vines rose from the ground and rushed towards the eighth-level Qi training cultivator flying behind.

This is the Speed Vine Technique commonly used by cultivators with Wood Spirit Roots in the Qi Refining Stage. It requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. If the defense is not strong enough or the fire method is not quick enough to respond, you will be killed if you are touched.

The cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training used two flying fire techniques to block in front of himself.

However, the Qi training tenth-level cultivator in front of him subconsciously sacrificed a circular defensive magic weapon, intending to help his younger brother block the attack.

This is the real opportunity!
The ground exploded with a loud bang, and dust flew everywhere.

Before the sound reached the ears of the Qi training tenth level cultivator, a green and red Medicine King Pestle hit him. The seventh rule of the Wang family's fighting secrets - if you really have to fight three people alone, kill the one in the middle first!

The strongest one is definitely the hardest to kill. Killing him would be a waste of opportunity. In a fight, every opportunity is important.

In a one-on-three situation, the importance of not missing the opportunity becomes extremely concrete.

Any mistake may lead to failure and death!
The weakest one knows that he is the weakest, so he must be the most vigilant. He is afraid of being bullied.

If the opponent is always on guard and there is not much difference in strength, attacking the weakest one may end in failure.

Therefore, killing the one in the middle becomes a relatively high success rate option.

Wang Rongyuan’s choice was very clever. He used the Speed Vine Technique to attack the weakest Qi Refining Level 8 first.

After discovering that a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training was trying to save his companions, he immediately decided to go all in!

All in, is a kind of wisdom, but also a kind of courage!
Uncle Rong Yuan is not lacking in wisdom, nor is he lacking in courage!
"Fuck, Qi training level 10!"

When the second brother, who was at the tenth level of Qi training, discovered that Wang Rongyuan had the same cultivation level as himself, it was already too late!
To be exact, it's too late.

The top-grade magical weapon, the Medicine King Pestle, is made of eighth-grade blue and white agate as the main material, with ninth-grade blood wood as the handle. It has been refined with a full twenty-one layers of restrictions, and is mainly used to break the law with force. It is indestructible among its peers!

As a cultivator who was also at the tenth level of Qi training and was controlling two magical instruments, he simply did not have enough time to block Wang Rongyuan's blow!
Under the horrified gazes of the two Tribulation Cultivators, the green-red Medicine King Pestle pierced through their companion's chest, and when it came out, it was already completely blood-red.

Looking down at his empty chest, the cultivator who was at the tenth level of Qi training cursed.

"fraud!"

Then, the flying and defensive magic weapons that had lost the control of their masters, fell to the ground together with their masters who were not yet completely dead.

"Fellow Daoist, we are just joking with you. Who are you?"

The cultivator from Miaofeng Mountain who had reached the great perfection of Qi training was both shocked and angry. He really could not have imagined that his three brothers would suffer such misfortune today!
The speed-vine technique is a cover-up, the wooden puppet is fake, and the fifth level of Qi training is even more fake.

Those red light photos and dripping holes are all fake!
The wooden puppet that had crawled out of the soil and had completed its mission had no expression on its wooden face, but the monk from Miaofeng Mountain seemed to see it smiling.

Laughing at the three brothers, they are three big fools!
If Wang Rongyuan paid attention to the nonsense of the monks from Miaofeng Mountain, he would be a big fool.

Not only did he not respond to the monk from Miaofeng Mountain, he didn't even have the intention of unearthing the tomb.

I just want to play the underground escape style. If you have the guts, come down to the ground and fight me, a person with earth and wood spiritual roots!
Either don't do anything, or kill them all!
After taking back the Medicine King Pestle, Wang Rongyuan immediately offered up two special lower-grade magical instruments - donkey-hair sachets.

The Wang family was good at raising donkeys, and their spiritual donkeys, which were tied to wood, had been passed down for thousands of years without interruption.

The various spiritual materials on the spiritual donkey have naturally been developed to the extreme.

It is obvious that the donkey-hair sachet is only a low-grade magical weapon with five levels of restrictions. It has no attack or defense effects. Even better ordinary iron can destroy it.

But as long as you add different fillings into it, its effect will become apparent.

As the two sachets flew quickly close to the ground, a light yellow aphrodisiac fragrance began to spread across the battlefield.

In the game, this thing is called soft control. It may seem that the impact is not significant, but as long as it is stacked enough, the opponent will be affected!

"Okay, if you want to fight to the end, don't blame me for not holding back!"

The Qigong cultivator at Miaofeng Mountain who had reached the pinnacle of perfection was knowledgeable. He was able to understand Wang Rongyuan's operation from a limited perspective.

He summoned a white cloud handkerchief of mid-grade magical weapon. The handkerchief flew in the air and water droplets fell densely.

You control me with your scent, and I use water magic to break your seductive scent!
"Third brother, let's use the fire bomb together. If he doesn't come out, we will blow this rat to death!"
