Chapter 117 The Expanding Potential of Military Strategy

The Hou tribe's centurion, frozen in the ice, remained in a charging posture, his face still frozen in a furious expression.

The spear was less than half a foot away from Campus Spring Scenery. If it had been even a fraction of a second slower, Campus Spring Scenery would have had to log off and rejoin Dog Brother.

After using this move, Peng Zhi's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Even if he didn't say it, just by looking at his deathly pale face, one could guess that the effort he put into this move must have been considerable.

In fact, he had already noticed the Roaring Clan's centurion heading straight for them when the campus spring scenery finished shouting and ran towards him.

The reason he waited until Dog Brother and Meatball suffered before taking action was because he hadn't mastered the technique yet and needed some time to prepare.

"Think of a way, I'm not sure how long I can freeze him."

Peng Zhi spoke weakly and could not even stand up.

To prevent Peng Zhi from being killed by a nearby Roaring Clan soldier when he was exhausted, Campus Spring Colors quickly ran over to protect him.

At this moment, the campus spring scenery finally had the mood to subtly inquire: "Brother Yuanli, wasn't your move a bit too powerful?"

"After all, it exhausted all my vital energy."

Peng Zhi recovered a little and was able to finish a sentence in one go.

"You—"

The campus in springtime gestured, then asked, "What exactly is the principle behind it?"

He was very envious of this move.

Compared to the spiraling force of the "Qingxi Technique," it requires proximity to a river to create a water tornado.

Peng Zhi's ability to create a large mass of frost out of thin air is more like the work of a celestial being.

He was really puzzled. He and Peng Zhi both practiced the "Martial Arts Body Forging Technique", so why didn't he know this move?

He was also familiar with the three combat techniques that came with the "Martial Arts Body Forging Technique".

These are mountain pressure, image introduction, and mixed rhyme.

The names of the moves are mysterious, and the descriptions are also mysterious.

But having actually practiced the "Springtime on Campus" technique, he naturally knew that, in the language of modern physics, the "Mountain Pressure" move applies a repulsive force to an object, the "Image Attraction" move applies an attractive force to an object, and the "Mixed Rhythm" move mixes these two forces.

In his view, the first two methods are very useful in combat.

When used in combat, the Mixed Rhythm skill is more for confusing the enemy than for dealing actual damage.

Out of his survival instincts, after obtaining the "Martial Arts Body Forging Technique," he briefly went through the Image Guidance and Mixed Rhyme techniques a few times before focusing on Mountain Press.

The defensive method he used to defend against the tribal chief's attack was a variant of Mountain Press, which weakened the opponent's attack by applying a layer of repulsive force in front of him.

Having mastered this skill, Chunse from the campus was actually quite pleased with herself, thinking that her mind was still quite sharp.

Unexpectedly, Peng Zhi actually created frost.

This thing doesn't even match the attributes, does it?

"It's just a rhyme scheme."

"Please teach me!"

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Campus Spring Color would have kowtowed right then and there; after all, he didn't care much about saving face.

Peng Zhi, on the contrary, was taken aback when he heard the mention of springtime on campus: "You don't know?"

Campus Spring Scenery: "?" Holy crap, how could this be? Nobody taught me.

Incidentally, regardless of the type of military strategy...

In fact, they are all just simple descriptions of the circulation of blood and qi. As for the combat techniques in those military manuals, they are simply adjustments to the efficiency of blood and qi circulation.

Players can follow the example and perform the move.

It's like giving you a gun, telling you where the trigger is, and then teaching you how to pull it.

You don't need to know how to manufacture firearms; you only need to learn how to pull the trigger to fire bullets.

If a player goes through a rebellious phase and insists on hitting people with a gun, that's fine too; it's better than hitting someone empty-handed.

Peng Zhi scratched his head, somewhat bewildered: "Wait, Brother Chunse, you've mastered the 'Martial Arts Body Forging Technique,' haven't you considered the essence of these combat techniques?"

"what?"

"Ultimately, these techniques are all about controlling force, or to put it more deeply, controlling molecules."

"What does this have to do with you building a giant ice hockey puck?"

"You're still asking about hockey? In the underlying logic of the universe, hot and cold are not two opposing substances; they are essentially the same thing—speed."

Peng Zhi's gaze at the spring scenery on campus gradually turned as if he were looking at a student, but he still kindly explained, "On a microscopic level, temperature doesn't exist; only kinetic energy does."

"The heat you feel is actually the atoms and molecules inside an object vibrating violently at extremely high speeds. I don't need to explain what cold is, right? So there is no upper limit to heat, but there is absolute zero, which means that the movement of microscopic particles has completely stopped."

With a casual slash, the campus spring scenery sent a Roaring Clan warrior flying.

He forced a smile and said, "Haha, of course I know. So how do I use it?"

When asked, Peng Zhi fell silent and changed the subject: "Let's kill the monsters first, and I'll teach you step by step after we're done."

Putting aside the Roaring Tribe centurion who was frozen solid, from the players' perspective, the current battle situation is quite optimistic.

Thanks to the "arms dealers," their artillery shells disrupted the Howling Clan's battle formation. In the ensuing chaos, it became much easier for players to deal with the Howling Clan soldiers who were fighting independently.

After all, the numerical advantage still exists.

If two newbie players can't beat them, then three of them should go in together; they're bound to manage to take a bite out of us.

Not to mention that some of them are veteran players who are dozens of levels high.

During this casual conversation, the clan's soldiers had suffered more than half casualties, making the players' numerical advantage even more obvious.

The Roaring Tribe soldiers in front of the stone village were all considering retreating.

The only centurion present was tied up by Lao Kuai and Ba Tiao Xiang, so he couldn't be relied on either.

If it weren't for the fact that the Roaring Tribe's centurion, frozen solid, was still there, they would probably have already been defeated.

bang~

With a crisp crack, sparks flew everywhere.

Lao Kuai threw out the copper pillar, and taking advantage of the opponent's parry, he finally leaped forward and firmly clamped down on Anhou, his muscles bulging high, as if he were wrestling with a bull.

"Don't just stand there!"

Old Kuai still had one hand gripping Anhou's bone knife, blood dripping between his fingers.

Without any hesitation, Ba Tiaoxiang swiftly struck Anhou on the head with a blade, yelling, "Die!"

Feeling that the Anhou beneath him had completely stopped moving, Lao Kuai then propped himself up and struggled to get up.

But blood was flowing from all over his body, and the feeling of exhaustion spread wildly along his nerve endings. So Lao Kuai simply turned over and lay down on the ground.

The situation in Eight Lanes was no better, with a horrifying gap extending from the right shoulder all the way to the left abdomen.

Seeing Lao Kuai like this, he also slumped down on his backside.

It can only be said that he is indeed a battle-hardened centurion. Even with a disadvantage in level and numbers, he almost managed to kill two people.
