Chapter 293 Tactics
Zhong Ming was eager to try. He had just broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining and was just about to test his skills when this human punching bag appeared.
Shouldn't we add some water first?
Zhong Ming felt that his fighting skills were still lacking. In terms of swordsmanship, he only knew how to control his sword and did not have any powerful sword techniques. His movement technique, Flowing Cloud Step, was just ordinary. Even his most commonly used technique, the Spring and Autumn Hook and Sickle Spear Technique, did not yield any new moves after this breakthrough.
Grain Rain, Great Heat, Great Cold—these are all the spiritual power techniques he knows.
He secretly observed the fool's henchmen. Some of them had a steady aura and seemingly graceful and agile steps, but in reality, they were as steady as Mount Tai. In particular, the one on the far left walked by only touching the ground with his toes, moving like a dragonfly skimming the water. But every time his toes touched the ground, it was as firm as an old tree taking root.
He looks like a man with an extremely strong physique.
Looking at the person on the side, he appears to be a thin and small man, but the footprints he leaves are deeper than those of an average person. This is the Flame Wolf Army camp, and even the outer perimeter of the camp must have been reinforced. To leave footprints like these, one could conservatively estimate that he could kick a cow away.
Yes, they definitely held back.
After taking a look around, the strength of the enemy made him feel excited; these were the real veterans.
Xuan Jing was somewhat annoyed. As he walked, he nudged Zhong Ming with his armor and whispered, "I don't have many talismans."
I've been so bothered by these bastards these past few days that I haven't had time to draw talismans.
Chen Dahai crossed his legs in his wheelchair, his left foot dangling in the air, the flames burning with an unusually flamboyant intensity.
"Still the same old tactics?"
"No, let's try something new." Zhong Ming was ready to go all out.
"I'll attack from the far left, and you attack from the far right, forcing the enemy to the very center and letting them experience the sea of arrows."
With only three people, there's no need to talk about formations; just improvise.
The group of people ahead swaggered through the military camp. This military camp was different from the ones before; basically, only a small one-story building was exposed above ground, while most of the rest were underground.
This is a plain.
The nine burly men in front stopped on a set of steps. No need for further explanation, even Zhong Ming, who had just arrived, could tell.
This is the gun mount.
The cannon on top has been dismantled, and it was dismantled so thoroughly that only a smooth, flat platform remains, as if it had been struck by a bell.
"Hey, hey, hey, those upstairs, if you're going to die, hurry up and die, if you're not going to die, get lost."
This spoiled brat leaped onto the large platform and roared at the two burly men at the ninth level of Qi Refining, wishing he could take off his stinky shoes and throw them at them.
Upon seeing that it was this guy, the two men cursed their bad luck and jumped off the platform from the other side to find another spot.
"Come on, whoever chickens out is a dog."
Zhong Ming strolled slowly up the makeshift stairs, his footsteps making the wooden steps creak.
"Hurry up, if you're going to back down, just admit defeat and accept the punishment obediently."
Zhong Ming's pace remained unhurried, while Xuan Jing lagged even further behind, having to carry his wheelchair up.
The others who had come to watch the spectacle stopped in their tracks upon seeing the person above, and began asking each other who had offended the little tyrant.
"I didn't recognize the man. But the one in the wheelchair must be the best recruit this year. This kid's probably met his match."
"That's true. I heard that the higher-ups of the Flame Wolf Army value these people highly and want them to promote themselves so that they can campaign for votes in advance during the next selection and persuade other outstanding recruits to join the Flame Wolf Army. They might even help them break through a few levels of cultivation, preferably the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage? Are you kidding me? We're recruiting in large numbers, it only happens once every four years."
"Yeah, four years. Is it really that hard to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"Nonsense, how many years have you been here? Your cultivation level is still stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refining."
"Look at those people above, they're so young and they've already reached the seventh or even eighth level of Qi Refining. Isn't four years too much for them?"
At this point, the people below sighed inwardly. It's truly infuriating to compare yourself to others. On the path of cultivation, talent and luck are more important than any amount of hard work.
I diligently cultivate every day, but my cultivation level has not improved at all. It is truly a bitter experience.
Above, Zhong Ming finally stepped onto the high platform. The other side had already vaguely set up a formation. From above, the nine people stood like swallows. The one with the two wings was the one with the strongest physique seen earlier. The others stood on the feathers, presumably skilled in ranged magic and long-range offensive weapons.
"Master Cuihong, Xuanjing, Chen Dahai, please enlighten me."
"I wouldn't call it giving you pointers, I just really want to beat you up."
Zhong Ming couldn't take it anymore. He had always thought that his poor education level was enough to make him illiterate, but he never expected that there would be someone even more clueless than him.
I'll tell you my name number, could you also tell me your name?
"I do not spare nameless men under my fists. You men ahead, state your names."
"You think you're worthy to know my name?"
Zhong Ming:.....
He had lost his patience. "Since you've already explained the rules, we won't say any more. Here's what we'll do: I'll toss this spirit stone high into the air, and the start will begin the moment it hits the ground. Any objections?"
"Come on, let's see how tough you are."
After he finished speaking, a spirit stone flew high into the air. At this moment, most people subconsciously focused their attention on the spirit stone, watching it fly up, fall, and crash to the ground.
Zhong Ming and Xuan Jing had already huddled together, blocking the enemy's view, allowing Chen Dahai to calmly set up the crossbow, with fire dragons coiling around the crossbow bolts at his fingertips.
As soon as the spirit stone landed, Zhong Ming and Xuan Jing dodged to the left and right, and countless arrows rained down.
The opposing cultivators were not slow either, raising their hands to unleash a raging fire spell. At the rear, the three fire cultivators simultaneously exerted their power, and a giant fire phoenix soared into the sky.
This is also a way to attract attention, but Zhong Ming and Xuan Jing were already separated from the start and their attention was not drawn away.
Zhong Ming took several large strides and rushed to the front of an enemy. He raised his hand and unleashed a powerful strike, the chilling force of which instantly collided with the enemy's golden mace.
The opponent's weapon was extremely destructive, designed specifically to destroy enemy weapons. Unfortunately, even if this Spring Cold Hooked Spear was of poor quality, it was still made of magic weapon-grade material.
Upon impact, both men took a step back, which surprised Zhong Ming. He was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his opponent was at the sixth level of Qi Refining. They were evenly matched in strength.
He immediately changed tactics, transforming his powerful, heavy strikes into deadly thrusts. The Spring and Autumn Hook and Sickle Spear Technique - Grain Rain was unleashed the moment the power erupted, and a series of terrifying sounds came from Xuan Jing's side.
Xuan Jing is incredibly arrogant. Ever since he obtained this treasure armor, he has been charging at his enemies with his hands full of explosive talismans, daring to blow everything up on sight. This is the source of his confidence in leading Chen Dahai to resist.
The world may be vast, but I am the greatest! Whoever provokes me, I will take them down with me! So what if you're only at the Foundation Establishment stage? If a few of these bombs don't kill you, I'll use dozens. If dozens don't work, I'll use hundreds. Come on, there's an armory right next to me. If you push me too far, I'll jump in.
