Maintaining the dynamic vision state of stepping forward and slashing all the time consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

He no longer had the spiritual energy reserves from his prime, and could no longer use his previous tycoon style of fighting.

Along with the reduction of spiritual power reserves, the speed of spiritual power recovery also decreased. In the past, her spiritual power recovery speed was terrifying, even if she turned on dynamic vision the whole time, it was equivalent to no consumption. But now, she can only last half an hour, and this is without using the Swift Wind Sword Intent. The consumption of the Swift Wind Sword Intent is even more terrifying.

Fortunately, she has found the direction of growth.

"What a show!"

There was naturally dead silence in the audience; Jie Shui's excited and admiring voice seemed so discordant.

"The way you fight is exactly what I dream of!" Jie Shui waved his fists excitedly. "I, Jie Shui, am willing to call you Yi Shen! Uh, that sounds a bit harsh, never mind... Anyway, you are too strong! This time, it's all thanks to you!"

"Stop bragging, I'm getting goosebumps," Jiang Ke'er shook her arms.

"All of you come down first," Si Lian called out, "Don't rush to fight the next battle. This is a rare and high-quality battle. We need to review it immediately and sort out our thoughts."

Now no one dared to disobey Si Lian's orders. Even the thick-skinned Jie Shui did not dare to jump out of control. He suppressed the desire to press on the victory and stepped down obediently.

Si Lian led the little demons away from the arena and sat on the ground in the woods in the distance.

The little demons followed and sat down.

"The situation just now was very dangerous. Although we successfully resolved the crisis with the help of Qingyi, Qingyi, you'd better explain the situation so that everyone can have an idea and cooperate with you in the battle." Si Lian looked at Jiang Ke'er and said.

Jiang Keer nodded: "That is an ability derived from my Taoism. In the split second between life and death, my speed will increase."

The cultivators in this world may gain some basic Taoist abilities when they advance to a higher level.

The higher the quality of the Dao base, the greater the probability of the emergence of Dao base abilities. However, even with the best Dao base, the probability of the emergence of abilities is less than one in ten million... Therefore, Dao base abilities have always been a legendary existence, and have not appeared for at least several hundred years.

But even if it was just a legend, at least it existed, so all the monsters believed Jiang Ke'er's words, but they were all very jealous.

Qingyi is so lucky! Her talent for cultivation is better than others, and she has even developed the legendary Taoist ability.

"It turned out to be a Dao-based ability," Si Lian was also very shocked. "I will believe it for now. This can also explain your previous behavior, but... it is still too risky. You should try to use your Dao-based ability as little as possible. If you make a mistake once, the price you pay may be unbearable."

Jiang Keer shook her head: "The last incident caused my cultivation to be severely damaged. I am only at the Four Symbols Realm, one level lower than the Five Elements Realm of most contestants. If I don't rely on my abilities, I will only become a burden to the team."

Si Lian frowned, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. We can find another team member to take your place, rather than you risking your life all the time."

"Who doesn't risk their lives to participate in the competition?" Jiang Ke'er smiled, "Everyone knows that it's difficult to return alive this time."

"You are at greater risk, and your death will affect the survival rate of the entire team." Si Lian said bluntly.

Jiang Keer also understood that if one team member died in the game, it would cause a chain reaction. The other four team members would have to bear double the pressure, having to fight four against five, and it would be extremely difficult for them to survive.

Jiang Keer closed her eyes and thought about it.

Finally, she decided to believe in herself for once and said, "I believe in my ability, and please believe me too. I will not drag you down."

In the blink of an eye, she had become the most unstable and weak point in the team, which made Jiang Keer feel a little sad.

However, she looked calmly into Si Lian's eyes. There was no arrogance or frivolity in her eyes. Instead, there was only the confidence that came from risking everything and going all in.

"I believe you," Si Lian nodded, "but it also depends on what the other teammates think."

"I agree," Jie Shui and Gan Ruan Ruan had no objection.

"I don't care," A Miao scratched his head innocently. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about his life safety.

"I...don't quite agree," Lin Gang said bluntly.

Jiang Keer looked at him.

"I don't like people who put everyone in danger by being brave. Qingyi's condition is unstable. This is not a problem that can be solved by trust. Blindly trusting her may be the cause of our death." Lin Gang continued as if he didn't see Jie Shui's unfriendly look, "But I don't know Qingyi. I need more time to observe her to determine whether she is trustworthy...

I don't believe her, but I won't blindly deny her. I will reserve my opinion for now. I am willing to give her a chance to see if she is a trustworthy teammate. But if she dies, I will immediately enter the surrender zone. I don't want to die."

Si Lian nodded: "I understand. Like you, I will reserve my opinion for the time being and observe Qingyi's condition... But at the same time, I will also observe your conditions. If there is a problem in any link, I will persuade him to leave. Do you understand?"

"I accept it. It should be so." Lin Gang nodded, and by the way, he wrote down on his arm the fact that Jie Shui had just glared at him, and listed several plans for revenge.

"Okay, let's continue reviewing the game."

"Wait," Jiang Ke'er suddenly said.

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Si Lian was puzzled.

"I apply to change the formation to 1211."

Jiang Ke'er knew how crazy her words were, but she continued, "I want to be in the first row, face the most attacks, and be closest to the enemy. That way I can maximize the value of my Dao-based abilities."

(3/3)

21. Taishu Xuan

"no!"

Si Lian clearly rejected Jiang Keer's request.

"Your ability is the same as A Miao's. Once the enemy finds out your true identity and you hold back, it may become a trap that backfires on you." Si Lian shook his head solemnly, "Although your ability is more difficult to be discovered, if you are set up by the enemy once, you will definitely die."

"It will be discovered sooner or later," Jiang Ke'er said in a deep voice, "The best way to avoid being targeted is to use and implement my abilities to the fullest extent possible, and let the enemy's strategies become the means for me to trigger my abilities."

"But you can't anticipate all situations. Even the wisest man can make mistakes."

"The wise do, but I don't."

Jiang Ke'er looked at Si Lian with a firm gaze, calm and confident.

Si Lian was stunned. In a trance, she seemed to see a figure overlapping with Jiang Ke'er.

That year, she was confident, strong, and had an unbridled pride and the capital to maintain that pride.

But she lost.

Because the Shenzhou Cup is not a one-man battle.

"No, at least not now. Even if you can do it, you need to give the team a chance to train and run-in," Si Lian refused flatly, "Continue with the 221 lineup."

"Okay," Jiang Ke'er was a little disappointed.

"I'll give you a chance," Si Lian smiled bitterly and patted Jiang Ke'er's shoulder, "Now is not the time."

"I understand." Jiang Ke'er nodded.

"Okay, now let's continue reviewing the last game."

Si Lian commented and analyzed everyone's playing style, positions, and several unexpected events that occurred during the previous game.

"Lin Gang fell into the enemy's trap and was led far away. Next time, be careful not to advance too far alone."

Lin Gang looked ashamed: "I will pay attention next time."

Si Lian nodded and continued, "Jie Shui's comeback was beautiful, but you caused the team's positioning to become chaotic and almost led to its collapse. Next time, you need to think further before taking action."

Jie Shui felt a little aggrieved: "What else could I do under the circumstances at that time? It was an emergency, no one would think too much!"

"That only shows that you are not smart enough." Gan Ruanruan said mercilessly, "If you can't do it, why can Qingyi do it?"

"She's cheating..." Jie Shui muttered.

Si Lian continued to analyze.

"Ruanruan's shortcomings were clearly revealed in this battle. Your strength lies in the balance between strength and agility, but this is also your weakness. In single combat and one-on-many combat, the balance between strength and agility is advantageous, but it is less functional in team combat."

Gan Ruanruan nodded.

"So you have to keep the enemy as far away as possible and find a way to create a one-on-one duel environment." Si Lian said.

"The enemy is not stupid." Gan Ruanruan frowned, "They will definitely not run away with me obediently."

Si Lian smiled faintly: "There are actually many ways to distance yourself from someone - including but not limited to insulting the other person's immediate family members."

"..."

The little demons were stunned and looked at Si Lian in disbelief.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Si Lian raised his eyebrows. "As long as we can win, it's not shameful to use any method. The enemy can even do such a thing as letting the Venerable take the stage, and we are just mocking them."

"It's not that I doubt this method, but you've always looked, um... serious... you don't seem like someone who would use this method," Jie Shui whispered.

Si Lian smiled and did not respond. She just continued to say to Gan Ruanruan: "So Ruanruan, for the sake of the team, you need to study your secondary profession carefully in addition to practicing. You need to think about what kind of trash talk can penetrate people's hearts more, like magic sound penetrating their ears, making the other party unable to control their desire to attack."

However, Gan Ruanruan sneered: "Secondary occupation?"

"Sorry, cultivation is my secondary occupation."

The self-confidence in those words was so overwhelming that Jiang Ke'er even wanted to kneel down.

This guy has been hanging out in bars and other street places since he was a child, and he grew up listening to trash talk.

I am very familiar with the way Zaun people communicate.

Plus the racial talent inheritance.

Provocative? No.

If she doesn't nurse her opponent's mother into the grave today, and then reincarnate from the grave to do eighteen sit-ups, she will be ashamed of her ancestors who have put her in danger!

"Well, it seems that I don't need to worry at all on this point," Si Lian's cheek twitched.

"Next is Qingyi," Si Lian continued to review the battle, "Qingyi's emergency decision-making is perfect. I hope she can maintain it in future battles."

"Finally, it's A Miao. A Miao, your performance is the worst!" Si Lian's tone suddenly became very harsh.

A Miao lowered his head in shame.

"You didn't use magic to provide timely support to your teammates when they were in danger, nor did you use large-scale magic to block the enemy's offensive intentions," Si Lian said seriously, "You have completely failed to fulfill any of your duties as a long-range spell caster!"

"I'm sorry," Miao's head was almost buried in the ground, "they moved too fast, I couldn't keep up... I was afraid of hitting my teammates."

"The battle situation changes rapidly, but you must seize the opportunity at that moment," Si Lian paused, "It was wrong of me to let you go to the ring without training. Time is too tight. However, I will give you accelerated training from today."

"Training? If training works, your team members will die?"

The sudden discordant sound made the little demons turn around in displeasure.

"Tai Shuxuan," Si Lian raised his eyes and glanced at the other person, then coldly said the other person's name.

Tai Shuxuan had his hair loose, looking a bit like an artist, but his triangular eyes shone with a calculating and petty light, which didn't seem to match his attire, exposing his true colors.

"Si Lian, do you know that killing all your team members every year has become a routine appetizer for the Shenzhou Cup? Now the news has spread to all parts of Dasi Country, and everyone is wondering who will be the lucky one to kill you all," Tai Shuxuan licked his lips, "Someone has already opened an underground bounty. The person who kills you can get a large piece of seventh-grade meteorite. Coincidentally... my team members and I are very interested in this meteorite."

Si Lian stood up and protected the little demons behind him.

"If you can make it out of the town competition, I think we'll have a chance to meet." Si Lian's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Your Zhanhuang Eighth Team has a strong momentum, I think it won't be difficult to make it to the semi-finals. Of course, the premise is that you don't commit suicide."

"It's not difficult for the eight Zhanhuang teams to advance to the semi-finals, and they won't bother to lower themselves to cause trouble for you," Tai Shuxuan said leisurely, "but my other team is very interested in you."

Si Lian's eyelids twitched and she thought to herself, "Oh no!"

I didn't expect this guy to manage two teams at the same time.

"Team Zhanhuang 16 is a newly formed team. Its members are all newcomers with little combat experience. They are weak and happen to be in the bronze rank... Aren't you interested in such a team's free points?" Tai Shuxuan smiled and nodded at the five team members beside him.

The five men also showed malicious smiles and shouted repeatedly: "That's right! We are weak! Come and beat us to gain points! Coward, you dare not even face us?"

Very weak?

Si Lian gritted his teeth, these faces were clearly former members of other Zhanhuang Teams. They formed a new team after the original team was disbanded, and everyone’s personal strength was at the rematch level!

“It’s quite weak.”

Amid the noise, a delicate voice was particularly piercing.

The five members of the Zhanhuang 16th Team suddenly fell silent and stared at Jiang Keer coldly.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ruanruan nodded and said, "Well, everyone has the strength of the peak of the Five Elements Realm. They are still hanging around in the Bronze Rank. It is indeed a bit ridiculously weak."

"Indeed, that's it? That's it, that's it?" Jiang Ke'er looked incredulous.

"Forget it, let's go and stop bullying them." Gan Ruanruan glanced at the other party with sympathy and said, "After all, some people have strength but no brains. Being able to reach bronze is already the peak of their lives. Poor guys... I will feel guilty if I kill such poor guys."

(1/2)

22. Coward

The members of Team 16 of the Zhanhuang Team, who were jumping up and down the last second, turned pale in the blink of an eye because of the harmonious singing of Jiang Ke'er and Gan Ruanruan.

What’s even more infuriating is that these two guys smiled at each other, clapped their hands in tacit understanding, and praised each other: “You’re not bad!”

"You're not bad either!"
