Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 180 Tactical Analysis
After watching the team battle match of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team, Chen Feng had many thoughts.

He had always felt that the Heavenly Dou Royal Team might be a bit troublesome, which could be seen from the previous battle between the Shi brothers and Gu Yueling and Ning Rongrong.

The Shi brothers have the ability to share the damage, and together with Ye Lingling, a dedicated healer, they are enough to form a small tactical core.

Not to mention Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, neither of whom are easy to deal with.

If someone can organically combine them, then the potential of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team is still considerable.

The current situation confirms Chen Feng's point of view: the Tian Dou Royal Team has now been molded into a single entity.

Although their tactics were not fully revealed because their opponents were not very resilient, some general outlines were already discernible.

In addition, Chen Feng felt that the tactics of the Tian Dou Royal Team were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen such tactics somewhere before.

However, he couldn't quite recall it at the moment.

Even after returning to his dormitory at the academy, Chen Feng kept thinking about this matter.

At first, he didn't have much of a clue, but he felt that the tactic was vaguely familiar.

When he couldn't sleep at night and thought about it carefully for half the night, he finally figured out a little bit of the meaning from the team battle of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

"Isn't this a substitute for guarding against poison?" Chen Feng suddenly sat up.

Although the Heavenly Dou Royal Team did not use their full strength, Chen Feng had already deduced some ideas from their performance.

And as he continued to think along these lines, he felt that the more he thought about it, the more correct it seemed.

Using poison to defend is a rather disgusting tactic.

Its essence is to maximize one's own survivability, using various means to stay alive, and then using the debuffs inflicted by the poison on the enemy to slowly wear them down.

A double is someone who creates a substitute to take the blame for others; the Shi brothers can play a similar role in this respect.

"Defend" means putting yourself into a defensive state to protect yourself from the opponent's attacks.

If Ye Lingling uses her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul at full power, it's not much different from simply maintaining her current state.

As for the final poison, there's no need to explain further.

Upon realizing this, Chen Feng was immediately speechless.

Good heavens, where did this talent come from? He actually came up with such a tactic for the Heavenly Dou Royal Team?
Compared to classic high-skill tactics like the "substitute defense poison" strategy, Chen Feng's previous use of the "flash wave rush" and "fire attack" strategies felt much more civilized.

Once Chen Feng understood the concept of "substitute for the poison," he could easily understand the team battle of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

First, there's Dugu Yan, who released the poison. Due to the influence of Chen Feng on Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan's choice of soul rings also changed.

Therefore, her fighting method is no longer poisonous fog but poisonous water, and she can also control the poisonous water. There are probably some other methods that she has not yet shown.

After Dugu Yan sprayed the poisonous water, Yu Tianheng chose to electrify it.

Chen Feng felt that this move was quite ingenious.

According to Earth's rules, pure water is actually almost non-conductive; what conducts electricity are the various ions in the water. Toxic water naturally meets this condition.

After being electrified, the water will be ionized into gas, and the toxins in it will also mix into the gas, becoming the poison gas that Chen Feng saw in the previous team battle.

Of course, this analysis by Chen Feng is based on his experience on Earth and may not necessarily reflect the situation in the Douluo World.

However, this explanation can be found in the events of that team fight.

These are the poison-releasing methods demonstrated by the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

If Chen Feng's prediction is correct, they should then have the defensive tactics of the Shi brothers and Ye Lingling's trio, as well as the fixed-point sniping tactics brought by Tang Ying.

These tactics may also be coordinated with each other, allowing the entire Tiandou Royal Team to perform well in both offense and defense.

After understanding the tactical essence of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team, Chen Feng began to think about how to counter them.

First of all, the flashbang tactic is not advisable, because the entire Tiandou Royal team initially adopted a defensive posture and did not engage in a fierce head-on confrontation like the Kailin team.

At the forefront of the formation are Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan. Both of them have AOE (area of ​​effect) attacks, so whether or not they can see other players is not a decisive factor in their combat power.

As for the five people in the back row, they were like turtles hiding in their shells, making it difficult for them to break through the formation directly.

In the original novel, Tang San's realgar wine tactic was not very effective because Dugu Yan released poisonous water, and the poisonous gas was just a byproduct of the poisonous water. Realgar wine could not eliminate the root cause of the toxins in one go, just like it could with poisonous fog.

However, given the current composition of the Hydra team, there isn't really a suitable way to deal with the poisonous water.

Poisonous water is an environmental creation skill, and if it is not properly dealt with, the Hydra team's range of operations will be limited.

If there's any way to deal with this, it might be to send all three of Chen Feng's marksmen up and use Oscar's flying mushrooms to engage in aerial combat.

Anyway, Tang Ying only has three arrows now, he can't possibly kill three people with three arrows.

In fact, the best way to deal with the poisonous water is to freeze it directly, but unfortunately the Hydra team does not have the ice attribute and cannot trigger the freeze reaction.

They can only play around with things like electrocution or evaporation, living a muddled life.

However, would it be feasible to simply cover the entire area with Blue Silver Grass? That seems to consume too much of Tang San's soul power.
While Chen Feng sat cross-legged on the bed deep in thought, Tang San, who was cultivating, woke up.

He looked at Chen Feng and asked curiously:

"Xiao Feng, what are you doing?"

Chen Feng then recounted what he had seen that day and his thoughts.

"After more than a month of training, we have gained considerable practical experience. Next, the master will likely have Brother Dai and Gu Yueling join the team, which will allow us to start fighting against level 40 teams. The Tian Dou Royal Team will be one of the most likely opponents we will encounter."

"Even if we don't run into them in the Soul Arena, we'll definitely run into them in the Soul Master Tournament later. This is an obstacle we can't avoid, so we have to make plans early and come up with a way to deal with them."

Tang San thought for a moment and said:
“You’re right. I understand their possible tactical speculations. The key lies in the combination of the poisonous water and lightning. We need to deal with it properly, don’t you think?”

Chen Feng nodded and said, "That's right. Lightning itself is a threat, and the poisonous water turning into poisonous mist after being electrified is another threat. In addition, I think Dugu Yan's control over the poisonous water is not so simple, which also needs to be considered in advance."

Planning ahead is his habit; if possible, he would love to be like Batman, working his way up from Plan A to Plan Z.

Unfortunately, his abilities were limited. Chen Feng could only provide backup plans for certain important matters, since his primary strength lay not in intrigue but in academic research. Tang San thought for a moment and then said:

"Would it be feasible to cover the area with Blue Silver Grass? This would both prevent contact with the poisonous water and protect against Yu Tianheng's lightning."

"I've thought about this before, but can your soul power withstand it?" Chen Feng asked.

"It should be fine, as long as I can cover a certain area so that the poison water doesn't restrict our movement, I can manage that. Besides, I have a strong recovery ability, so I won't be completely wiped out by it," Tang San said.

“That’s one way, but you have to reduce the water content of the Blue Silver Grass,” Chen Feng reminded him.

Although wood is an insulator, trees with high water content can still conduct electricity.

However, as long as Tang San reduces the water content of the Blue Silver Grass to the minimum, Yu Tianheng's lightning will most likely be unable to penetrate the Blue Silver Grass's barrier.

After all, his lightning wasn't quite at the level of heavenly thunder.

"In addition, you should also be careful of Dugu Yan's toxins, which may have some effect on your Blue Silver Grass," Chen Feng continued.

"It's alright. Even if the toxins contaminate my Blue Silver Grass, it won't affect me. The contaminated Blue Silver Grass can still act as a barrier," Tang San said.

Chen Feng nodded in agreement, "Yes, in this way, we have initially broken the opponent's poison water tactic."

Although some problems may arise in actual combat, that falls into the category of adapting to changing circumstances. Chen Feng does not have the ability to calculate everything perfectly.

"Then, what should we do with their tortoise shells?" Chen Feng asked again.

The combination of attack sharing and healing is a classic turtle lineup, and the fact that it also includes an assassin and a sniper makes it truly disgusting.

Tang San pondered for a moment and said:
“If it were just that Zihua Archer you mentioned, our three archers could easily win against him. But with the turtle shell protecting him, it’s not so easy. How about we just break through his lines? Brother Dai and Gu Yueling are both powerful warriors.”

"Should we just go straight for her? If we could get Gu Yueling to go in and yell, things would definitely be much easier, but I'm worried she won't be able to get in. Even if Yu Tianheng can get Brother Dai to hold her off, Gu Yueling doesn't have any way to break through." Chen Feng raised a question.

That is, Gu Yueling has a weakness: short legs.

This "short legs" comment doesn't literally mean Gu Yueling's two long, white legs are short, but rather that she lacks effective methods to quickly close the distance to her opponents.

Dust Blade has Swiftness to dash forward, Xiao Wu has Flash, and Dai Mubai has Speed ​​Boost, but Gu Yueling has no such ability.

In normal one-on-one or two-on-two battles, this problem is not very noticeable because the arena is not very large.

In typical team battles, both sides send people forward to charge, so this problem isn't very noticeable.

However, when facing the tortoise-like tactics of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team, Gu Yueling's short legs would inevitably be exposed, a problem that Chen Feng quickly realized.

By the time Gu Yueling charged into the back row of the Tian Dou Royal Team, it would be too late, since Yu Tianheng and his group wouldn't just stand there like idiots.

Tang San was also stumped by this question, and the two of them fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Chen Feng said somewhat uncertainly:
"How about an airdrop?"

"Airdrop? What does that mean?" Tang San didn't quite understand.

"Since it's difficult to get there by ground, let's transport her by air, preferably using the fastest flying speed," Chen Feng explained.

"White agarwood?"

"Yes, but I don't know if she can lead people."

"Just try and you will find out."

"Row."

"Speaking of which, what if she gets knocked down by that Tang Ying?" Tang San said with some concern.

"Then we'll have to see if we can force Tang Ying to fire a few more arrows," Chen Feng said.

Tang Ying is currently at level 39. Even if he is overconfident and manages to reach the Soul Master realm, he can only fire a maximum of four arrows.

Once Tang Ying has used up all his spirit rings, he will be of little use.

While the four arrows formed from these spirit rings would be incredibly powerful, they could be weakened or even tricked away using certain methods.

In addition, Gu Yueling's airdrop certainly cannot be carried out openly; tactical deception is a must.

With these preparations made, the chances of Gu Yueling being defeated are much smaller.

Next, Chen Feng and Tang San discussed for a while, and their tactics for dealing with the Heaven Dou Royal Team were gradually improved.

When the Heavenly Dou Royal Team meets them, they will surely be pleasantly surprised by this great gift.

However, during his discussions with Tang San, Chen Feng felt as if he had overlooked some factors.

But upon closer reflection, I couldn't recall what it was, so I simply wrote it down for now, hoping for a sudden flash of inspiration someday.

Just as Chen Feng had guessed, when their combat experience gradually increased and they were able to deal with level 30 teams without too much pressure, the master set a new goal for them.

That means from now on, there will be no restrictions on the number of members in team battles, and their opponents will be upgraded from level 30 teams to level 40 teams.

This increased the pressure on Chen Feng and his team considerably, but after a few stumbling team battles at the beginning, they quickly adapted to the intensity of a level 40 team and made great strides toward becoming a Gold Soul team.

This inevitably led to a clash between the Hydra Team and the Sky Fighting Royal Team, with their team battle spirit about to ignite.

Inside the arena, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say:
"This Heaven Dou Royal Team must be the strongest team in Heaven Dou City, right? I've heard that many level 40 teams here are no match for them. If we can beat them, then we'll be the strongest team in Heaven Dou City. Just thinking about it is exciting."

“What are you getting so worked up about? You’re not going to do it anyway,” Oscar said.

"If it weren't for, cough, tactical issues, how could I possibly have gone up?" Ma Hongjun argued.

Fortunately, he remained relatively sober and did not reveal any useful information.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaowu, I'll fight alongside you for your share." Xiaowu patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder.

"Come on, just don't repeat your old mistakes." Ma Hongjun secretly curled his lip.
